Chapter 20


    I started at the bed, feeling numb all of a sudden and almost immediately, I feel nauseous and throw up


    just by the wall in the warehouse.


    "Hey are you okay?" Scott meets me and Michelle rubs my back and I nod. I look at Beth again as


    tears welled up in my eyes. This shouldn''t have happened to her. She''s just fourteen. I felt a hand on


    my shoulder and he gives it a squeeze. A gun clicks behind us and we all turn around to see ady


    standing by the door. She looked like she was my age and she looked Indian or Muslim I don''t know....


    she just had really long and silky hair.


    "Are you the kidnappers? Why did you kidnap this girl?" Scott took a step forward and she points the


    gun at him.


    "Sco-"


    "We should be asking you that question.. are you part of the people who kidnapped her?" He says


    coolly, a sneer etched his face.


    "This is her sister right here so why did you kidnap her?" She nces at me just for a second and that


    gives Scott a chance toe at her but she''s too fast and quacks him, making himnd on his back.


    Hard. Ouch. I rush to him immediately.


    "Hey are you okay?" He groans in response and I look up, ring at the bitch.


    "What do you want from me? Why did you kidnap my sister? I don''t even know you!"


    "Apparently you''re not her kidnappers then. Look, my name is Zainab Lawan and I''m a detective for the


    police department in Moro. I came here because of a drug case and we''ve been looking for one of


    the dealers and fortunately, she came this way so I followed her here and when I entered into the


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    warehouse, I saw the little girl here. When you guys came in, I thought you were part of the kidnappers


    but it didn''t seem that way but then again, don''t judge a book by its cover. I''m sorry though." I knew it.


    So she was Muslim. I finally remembered why I was here and so I rushed immediately to Beth.


    "I have to go get a car for the girl.. I''ll be back soon" and the Zainabdy leaves.


    "Beth.... Beth... are you okay? Can you hear me?" Her eyes open for a second but closes again and it


    goes on like that.


    "Mia? Is that you?" She says so faintly.


    "Yes baby it''s me.. God, what did they do to you?" I looked at my sister and she couldn''t even keep her


    eyes open for long. Her eyes open widely and before I know it, she''s spilling her guts out by my side..


    "Calm down calm down.." I rub her back as she finishes. She cleans her mouth and when she turns to


    look at me, it''s like she felt better.


    "Emilia" she hugs me so hard as she cries into my shirt.


    "Beth" I hug her back that way. She finally lets go of me and look behind me then smiles.


    "Aunty Michelle and Scott.. my two favorite people" Michelle starts crying and shees to hug Beth


    and Scott just hugs her really tightly.


    "I''m so d you''re okay Beth" he says and I smile at that. This was my family right here.


    We hear the click of a gun and I look at Beth''s face. She looks terrified. I slowly turn back and I see


    Taylor with a gun, fear and hatred clearly in her eyes.


    "Taylor what are you doing?!" I asked her and she points the gun at me but Scott stands in front of me


    immediately.


    "Taylor? Calm down... what are you doing?" Scott says and then she startsughing.


    "Wow.. what do they see in you Mia? Like Scott can take a bullet for you? Now that''s just amazing!


    What does ke and Scott see in you huh? What do they see?!!!" She yells at me.


    "Is this what this is all about? Is that why you are so angry?"


    "Yes Emilia.. Yes!! I loved ke but it seemed he didn''t love me back. I loved you Emilia.. I really did


    but why did you have to take the one person I honestly loved? He was my one true love Mia and you


    took him from me." She says, sounding so broken. I didn''t even know ke ever liked me. I only saw


    him as a friend.


    "Taylor I never knew ke liked me.. I ju-"


    "Of course! Of course you wouldn''t know Mia..... you''re always so oblivious to when someone has


    feelings for you." She looked so pained.


    "Tay I am so s-"


    "Sorry? Is that what you actually want to say right now? Don''t try saying that and do not ever call me


    that nickname again. Now Scotte over here... you''re the one thing that makes her happy so I


    would love to take you from her?"


    "Taylor you do know that I am a popr business man and people would notice I am gone and they


    wont stop looking for me." Scott says to her and she rolled her eyes.


    "Do you think I could care about that... I honestly don''t. We''ll be far too gone before then and Jasmine


    would''ve taken you with her." My head shot up at this.


    "Jasmine?" We said in unison.


    "Oops. I just spilled some tea.. oh well.. Emilia I have done more than enough to you now and I am


    happy for that so I''m going to leave... now all you have is a drug addict of a sister. A.. so sad. "


    before I know what''s happening, Scott takes the gun from her but she''s also fast and makes the gun


    fall from his hand and it to the floor. I rush in and try to help Scott out when she takes the gun.


    "Don''t point a gun at my sister you bitch." Beth screams and then I hear a gunshot.


    Dayunnnn... who do you think they shot?? This is so not cool.
