Searching for Love, Found Wealth

(Third Person Narrative Intended)

Charles just arrived at the police station. He had dropped Mrs. Bob at home with her kids and rushed back.

He wasn’t allowed by his agency to drive to uptown as his safety was important.

The cons of being a supermodel, he couldn’t be there for his friends when they needed it.

“The backup are near the building already, how should they meet you” Charles heard an officer speak through a speaker.

He knew the officer was speaking to the officers at uptown. He came closer.

“Oh, okay. Let me know any new development” the officer looked at Charles disappointedly. Charles heaved a sigh but his phone began ringing.

He turned to leave to answer it but stopped in his tracks when it was Kiera’s ID that was on his phone.

“The kidnapper is calling me. He’s calling me” He ran back to the officer. He put the other officers through and beckoned on Charles to answer with his speaker phone on.

Jasper and the team had been waiting besides the building for almost a hour. It was becoming exhausting staying there without doing anything while worrying Kiera could be dead.

Chloe was almost asleep when Jasper brought to her notice that Charles had a call from Kiera and the conversation is being tapped in.

“Kiera, is this you?” Charles began.

“Ummm. No. Did you want to speak with my wife?” Carlos voice boomed from the other end. Kiera, besides Carlos, roles her eyes.

He was being dramatic much. Who was he kidding. Charles face squished up.

He doesn’t know the relationship between Ramirez and Kiera but he was very sure a marriage was not involved.

“Kids what is this?” the Chief Police officer asked Jasper’s team.

“I guess since Tessa couldn’t marry Mr. Martinez, the crazy Carlos wants to marry Kiera. I don’t know why” Chloe answered.

“He really is crazy, that’s one of the reasons I hated him” Jasper cursed.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am really sorry, Kiera was single early this morning when I dropped her at school” Charles blurted out his confusion, “Who are you?”.

“Oh, you’re her driver. I feel I’m wasting my time” Carlos sounded disappointed.

The officer wrote down a note for Charles, “Stall him. Let’s track down the exact building he’s in”. Charles frowned.

Turned out that the building were in factions and knowing the exact place where Kiera was held hostage with Carlos would be a problem if not tracked.

“No, no, I am her boyfriend. Ummm. Yeah” Charles hurriedly answer, cringing a bit at his words.

Chloe made a confused face but straightened to as she thought out that he could be trying to engage Carlos.

She’d ask herself later why she’d be bothered if Charles was Kiera’s boyfriend. She did know he liked her.

“How long have you been dating? What did she wear this morning. You could just be lying” Carlos still had his disappointed tone.

Luckily, Charles, being Kiera’s best friend was able to answer all Carlos’s question with a bit of romanticism.

“Wanna know where she was now? Come to uptown alone” Carlos smirked.

“What house? I’ve been there once and there’s lots of houses” Charles read out the answer from the officer’s note. He made it sound so natural.

“The first. Come with anyone and you’d never get to have a peaceful breakup with your girlfriend” Carlos snickered and hung up.

The officer gave Charles a thumps up. They’ve successfully tracked what house. The first one, also Carlos confirmed it.

“Barge in. Have fun. Remember the girl” The Chief Police officer told his team as the backup teamed up with them.

Jasper and the rest were taken into the bullet proof car and Jacob ran out from his hiding place on seeing the police man advancing.

It would be a shootout and he was just seventeen. He prayed Kiera would make it out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was all over everywhere on the news media outlets, even newspapers.

Spanish-American Billionaire Pablo Ramirez, his wife, Tessa Ramirez and Son, Carlos Ramirez gets exposed for kidnapping and illegal trafficking of drugs and humans.

Somehow Martinez was able to deny them by falsifying evidence of annulment of working with Ramirez.

Much that Kiera’s confession, that they’re all sectors, proved to be a lie from Ramirez to get back at Martinez.

Also they had smartly covered Cara’s confession, which involved them, as delusional words from a teenager.

Well, with that report, it also cancelled all contract marriages that were supposed to hold as the Martinez officially lose ties with the Ramirez.

And also helped Mrs. Bob claim official rights to properties if her deceased father. Accruing to over $40 billion worth of property.

Charles’s public image had well improved from his ‘heroic acts that saved a kidnapped friend’.

Kiera had been hospitalized for the third day as she lost too much of blood and suffered skin damage. She had also been confirmed to have broken an arm bone.

The team were resting after such violent shootout trying to recover from the resounding gunshots, cries of wails and smell of blood.

Nancy had somehow tried to tell her mother about her lost elder sister who happened to be Kiera’s mother.

The School had be spared from media’s tarnish.

The principal had provided evidence that he was tipped on a raid happening at school so announced a holiday while working on finding the truth.

Reuben couldn’t forgive his cousins for leaving him in the dark from everything but was glad that everything turned out well.

Mrs. Bob spent time besides her daughter, not giving space for media or any form of harm. Gladys hoped she’d get better as there was still a problem.

Mrs. Bob had received a phone call from an unexpected source asking for her to return go him, as well as his children.

Mrs. Bob couldn’t believe that her ex husband would come back into her life after she had completely broken off from him

“You are being a useless mother as you’ve been a useless wife. Give me back the kids before your family kills the. You have wealth now. Adopt kids” he had said to her and hung up.

Those words hunted her. He had every right to ask for his kids but she couldn’t imagine her life without them now.

The news must have circulated and gotten to Cornfest.

And judging that the media of Cornfest is so messed up, things would have been portrayed worse that it actually was.

She could only delay the consequences till Kiera is awake.
