Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Your Son Will Suffer The Consequences.

Earlier in the day, while the sun still bathed the city in warm hues, Angelina paced the space of her room, chewing on the tip of her nails as she concocted a sinister plan.

It had taken a few days, but soon she had Recognized that Leonica must have kept the figurine away from Ashley because till this day, she was yet to hear news concerning Ashley’s life being in danger.

In shorter sentences, her plan had failed and she was possibly screwed.

“Fuck!” She cursed loudly, kicking her coffee table with her leg. The poor furniture suffered the wrath of her anger and toppled over, transparent glass on the top shattering into small piece the moment it hit the floor, creating a loud bang.

In seconds her maids had rushed in, worried for her safety. “Ms. Fernandez, is everything okay?” Her head maid asked as her eyes trailed from the broken coffee table on the floor to her messy wardrobe, broken vanity mirror and toppled over makeup chair.

Without another word, she knew exactly what was happening. Her mistress was having yet another tantrum, and from the looks of it, the glare with bloodshot eyes that Angelina was currently shooting in her direction, it seems like she was about to be caught in the crossfire of said tantrum.

“Who gave you the permission to step into my room without knocking?” Angelina sneered.

The head maid was quick to lower her head, but apparently, that wasn’t enough for Angelina. The moment she had gotten close enough, she pushed the female down onto her kneels. She winced at the feeling of tiny glass shards scraping her skin.

But know what was good for her, she gathered herself and managed to speak. “I apologize for the intrusion, Ms. Fernandez; I was simply worried for your wellbeing after hearing the commotion. Please forgive me.”

“I should forgive you?” Angelina questioned in a taunting voice, earning a desperate nod from her head maid. “But, if I do that, who’s going to forgive me? Huh?”

“I... I don’t know, Ma’am.” The head maid, who didn’t even know the cause of her mistress’s tantrum nor the answer to the question which had just been asked, answered honestly.

However, her answer, as honest as it may have been, angered Angelina and in seconds, she projected the anger she had been feeling towards Leonica, onto the poor head maid, slapping her straight in the face. The female yelped and fell back, cutting her palm with a few accidental glass shards.

Angelina however, seemed apathetic to her pain. She stepped forward, glancing down at her head maid in an almost predator like way. “Of course you don’t know. Do you know why?” The words rolled off her tongue with a silver sound to her voice.

The head maid shook her head as her response to the question asked. Angelina smiled as that was the exact answer she had been expecting.

“I’ll tell you why,” She squatted down in front and gripped the maid’s face. “Because you are a lowly and poor maid.” Flinging her face to the side, she stood up and dusted her hands. “Now get out of my sight and do not allow this mistake repeat itself. Even if there’s an earthquake in my room, do not enter. Do I make myself clear?”

The head maid scrambled to her feet and nodded before she rushed out of the room.

Now left alone, Angelina began to think of possible ways to remedy the situation before it got too bad. Along the way of her pacing, finger biting and scheming, a plan came to her mind.

Fuck slow poison, it was time to take things fast before she really was screwed. This time around, she was going to kidnap Ashley and have Leonica and Gabriel bend to her will. It was the perfect way to make them pay.

Nodding along to her thoughts, convincing to her, but not to any other sane person who hears it, Angelina changed into a simpler and appropriate attire and stood in front of the mirror one last time.

“It’s now or never, Angelina,” She told herself as a sinister smile crept onto her face. “Best make it count.”

Ashley stood near the swings in the playground of his school, watching as the other kids played amongst themselves while he waited for his mother. Beside him, Daisy looked between the other children and him all the while licking her sweet.

After a while, she asked. “Are you sure you don’t want to join them?”

Of course he wanted to join them, but considering what they were doing, splashing water mixed with sand and roughing each other on the floor, Ashley didn’t hesitate to shake his head, turning down his friend’s suggestion as he knew his mother wouldn’t take too likely to seeing him dirtied.

“No, I’m okay.” He insisted and tore his gaze away from them, looking around in a bid to spot his mother amongst the other parents coming to pick their children up.

‘Where is she?’ He thought sadly after not spotting her.

“Can you hold this for me, Ashley?” Daisy asked, handing him the rest of her untouched sweets. “I just need to do something in the rest room real quick.”

Ashley nodded and collected the sweets, watching as she skipped off in the direction of the rest room before he resumed looking for his mother. This time around it didn’t take him long before he spotted a familiar face, but it wasn’t that of his mother’s.

“Ashley,” His principal waved him over. The boy hesitated, but after dropping Daisy’s sweets where she had left her lunch box, he went over. “Your aunt’s here to pick you.” He announced, pointing towards Angelina who waved at him.

“Hey Ashley.”

The boy hesitated once more, but waved back. “Hello Aunt Angelina. Are you... here to pick me up? What about my mommy?”

“She had work to do and sent me in her stead,” Angelina lied flawlessly. “She’s going to be busy for the rest of the day and insisted I take you to your father.”

“Is... that so?” Ashley questioned.

The brunette nodded at the child’s word and turned to the principal. “Would that be alright?”

“I don’t see any reason why not.” He said and turned away. “Have a nice weekend, Ashley.”

Once he was gone, Angelina turned to face Ashley, stretching her lips with a fake smile. “Shall we?”

Ashley nodded, but he still felt hesitant. Why? Even he didn’t know and it confused him, after all, he was going to see his father, he was meant to feel excited not hesitant.

As they left the kindergarten, Angelina spun a web of lies to mask her true intentions. "Ashley, sweetheart, we’re going to see your dad. He’s been missing you so much," she cooed, her voice dripping with false affection.

Ashley, ever the perceptive child, felt a knot tighten in his stomach. The route they took wasn’t familiar, and doubt crept into his innocent mind. "But this isn’t the way to Daddy’s house," he voiced his concern.

Angelina, no longer bothering to feign kindness, sneered, her true colors surfacing. "Your dad will be so happy to see you. We’re taking a little detour, that’s all."

As the surroundings became increasingly unfamiliar, Ashley’s unease intensified. He sensed the looming danger, the sinister energy that clung to Angelina like a dark shroud. Before he could voice his fears, Angelina, he was beginning to understand her plan and she resorted to drastic measures. With a swift, heartless blow, she knocked Ashley unconscious, sealing his fate in the clutches of her malevolence.

Back in the present, Gabriel was in his study reading through documents and sorting files that had been much neglected, when there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.” He called out, not bothering to look up from his work. The door opened and his butler walked in, only then did he look up. “Jonathan, what is it?” He asked.

“I regret disturbing your work, sir, but Ms. Romero is on the line and demands to speak to you, urgently.” Jonathan informed which had Gabriel’s brows creasing.

Leonica was calling the house phone? What for?

“Patch her through.” He instructed. Jonathan bowed his head and walked out and after a few seconds, after the landline in Gabriel’s office beeped, he picked up. “Leonica...” He began but Leonica’s voice urgently cut him off.

“Gabriel... Gabriel please tell me Ashley is there with you.” Her voice sounded desperate which automatically told Gabriel something was wrong.

“No, he’s not here with me. Why would he be here with me?”

“Because... Because Angelina came to the school and picked him up, claiming that she was taking him to meet you.”

Gabriel’s blood pressure suddenly dropped at the news. “What?”

“Ashley’s gone Gabriel, and he’s with Angelina.” Leonica said and he could almost imagine her pacing, running her fingers through her hair. “She took him Gabriel and I don’t know where... fuck!”

“Calm down,” Gabriel said, trying to project the calmness that he wasn’t feeling. “We are going to find him.” From the corner of his eyes, he spotted his cell phone on the table and raced for it, scrolling through his call log and finding Angelina’s number.

He dialed it and watched as it rang and went unanswered. Leonica must have heard the rings from the other end of the line because she commented. “The bitch isn’t picking up, is she? Fuck, I’m going to strangulate her to death when I get my hands on her.”

“Hey, you need to keep calm.” Gabriel heard another voice in the background, a male voice to be precise, say.

“Are you with someone?” He couldn’t help but question.

“Is that really a question to be asking right now? Our son is missing, off with some deranged lunatic and what you care about is if I’m with someone?”

“You’re right, I’m sorry.” Gabriel’s apology did nothing to help the situation, but Leonica took note of it. “I’ll keep trying to reach her.” He said and fell silent after that, trying several more times to reach her but failing like the previous times.

After a while, he felt like throwing his phone at the wall, feeling frustrated at the entire situation and the fact that this was partially his fault. If only he had stood his ground and sent Angelina to England on the fixed date, which mind you, was two days ago, then none of this would have been happening.

Ashley would have been safe and Leonica wouldn’t have any need to be so worried.

“...Gabe, Gabriel!” Leonica’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “Any luck? Could you reach her?”

He shook his head even though he knew she couldn’t see him. “No, sorry.”

“Fuc-” Leonica calmed herself down before she could complete the word and decided to approach the situation in a different way. “Do you know anywhere that she may go?”

Gabriel remained silent, thinking hard about her question. Amidst of the chaos in his mind, a memory flickered. "I think I might know where she’s taken him," Gabriel announced, his voice a mixture of determination and fear.

He could almost sense her pacing as she came to a halt at his words. "Where?" Leonica eagerly asked.

Gabriel was about to answer when his phone rang, the screen displaying Angelina’s name. Dread settled like a stone in Gabriel’s stomach. His silence seems to have alerted Leonica as she asked. “Gabriel, what’s going on? Who’s calling?”

“It’s Angelina.” He answered. “I’m going to answer the phone, so try to remain silent, okay?” She didn’t need to answer as he knew she had already answered with a nod. Taking one deep breath, he answered the phone.

"Gabriel," Angelina’s voice oozed through the phone, a venomous whisper that sent shivers down his spine and had his fist clenching angrily around the phone.

“Angelina, where’s my son?”

“Ah, I see that whore has informed you of the... the uh, recent developments,” Angelina said and clicked her tongue, cursing at Leonica some more before proceeding to answer Gabriel’s question. “Ah, your son, your son. He’s here with me... dead, just joking, he’s sleeping.” She chuckled at her own joke, or at least that’s what she considered it. But in seconds, she was done joking and had returned to being serious. “But you see, it won’t remain a joke for much longer.”

Gabriel knew the meaning of her words without her needing to say more. “What do you want?”

"Now we’re talking business!” She exclaimed. “I’m going to send you a location and I want either you or that whore mother of his, to meet me there. Alone. If either of you tries to play smart and bring anyone else along, your son will suffer the consequences. Oh, and Gabriel, whatever your choice is going to be, I suggest you hurry up, after all, I’m not the most patient person. You should know this, right?”
