Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 47

Tess loud shriek was what drew every other person's attention to us.

"What's wrong?" My mom asked looking at Tess but she said nothing.

How do I break the news to them, especially to Evie and her parents?

" Kelvin where's Shayan? Evie keeps on asking for her." Her dad spoke up.

"Tess please take Evie to her room" Tess carried Evie from Shayan's dad and went upstairs, I could see the guards following them. Heck, what if one of them was in it too. I don't even know what to do.

" Uhmm...she...she was... kidnapped." I finished, slurring the words not looking at their faces, I felt so ashamed right now. I wasn't able to protect her.

"She was what?" Her mother let out a scream

"Do you have any idea who did it?" Her dad asked calmly and I nodded.

" Let's all go inside so we can talk about it." My mom suggested and we nodded following her in.

Once we sat down I could feel everyone's eye on me urging me to reveal what I knew.

"Who took her Kelvin?" Her mom snapped at me.

"Carlos," I replied, the fury surging through me.

"Carlos? Your best friend Carlos?" That's what everyone seemed to have chorused, the shock evident in their tone and faces.

"Why would he do that?" Her dad asked quizzically.

"Because he wants Shayan." That was the only thing I could think of, that must be his motive.

The head of security Williams welcomed the police officers in.

"So the case is that your wife was kidnapped by your ex-best friend, any evidence to prove this?" The officer in charge of the case asked.

"He has been sending her threatening messages to kidnap our daughter, it should be on her phone and then there's proof from the CCTV," I replied, I heard someone gasp when I said he has been sending threatening messages to kidnap Evie.

"Can we see her phone to check the last message sent?" Geoff the second police offer spoke up.

"I didn't see her phone anywhere," I replied.

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"That should be around 6:50, nearly an hour ago," I replied looking at my watch.

"So it can be possible that her phone is with her then." The third officer, a woman asked and I nodded.

"Has he called or sent a text, did he leave a note, I want a record of the people that came and their time of departure," Williams spoke up, his tone rising with authority.

This was going to be a long night.

We went first to the room and they analyzed the scenario that happened. Perhaps he had come in when she was leaving, she dropped the album and then he drugged her and pulled her out. We then went to check the CCTV footage. I also gave them the list of guests, we accessed each of them most especially the ones that left in the last hour.

"Can you make a list of the properties he has?"

I listed all the properties that I know he has and then they began their search.

One of the officers led the team to check out the properties and the other was going through the surveillance cameras at the gate assessing the guests that left.

"The only person that seems to have left the house during the incident happens to be Jess or is there an alternative exit?" Williams asked

"It's just the main estate gate,'' I replied, what are they trying to insinuate?

" Where did your brother say he was going to?" He asked, he has been asking a series of questions since.

"Home, something came up," I replied, now that I think of it, he was in a hurry to leave. No... That can't be the reason.

"Who wanted to see the album?" Williams asked.

"Jess," I answered, my brain already thinking up scenarios. "What are you on to officer!"

"How would you define your brother's relationship with Carlos?"

"They are on friendly terms. What are you trying to insinuate officer?" I angrily asked.

"Call him." He ordered instead.

I called Jess number and it was going straight to voicemail. I tried several times but he wasn't responding.

"Let's go check out your brother's house now shall we?" I didn't like how this was going. We're supposed to be searching for Shayan, not Jess. Who knows what's happening to her with the time we're wasting.

So eventually we left for Jess's place in my car. There was still no news about the whereabouts of Shayan and I felt like I was going to explode. On getting to his place we found out from his security that Jess hasn't come home and I didn't still see how it had anything to do with finding Shayan.

"You said your brother was going home right?" Williams asked.

"Yes, so what wrong if he's not home. We're supposed to be searching for my wife, not Jess. Maybe something came up and he left or what are you insinuating officer?" I angrily asked

"What you know that I am, I believe your brother knows something about this and might have helped Carlos escape." I facepalmed myself in annoyance. This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. I was pacing around the room angrily, what type of officers did I get? I was going to call up a detective.

"I have my men searching around for him, we should be able to get a clue from him."

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I banged my head on the wall, punching it in annoyance. I was feeling a lot of emotions now. I was hurt, sad, scared, angry and fvcking confused.

"I just want my wife back officer, who knows what Carlos is doing to her. I need her right now, fvcking get me, my wife." I ordered angrily raking my hands through my hair.

"We're on it." He said and I fisted the wall again letting out a shout.
