Chapter 50 It Was Fraya Who Kidnapped Nadia 2
MADISON POV
Sleepyhead, wake up — I hear Laura's voice.
I wake up to find my friend and a lovely breakfast in bed.
What's the point of all this?
You're going through a lot and I wanted to ease some of your suffering, and there's nothing better than FOOD.
You're the best of the best—I said, already attacking the fruit salad.
Madi, I was rereading the notes you received and I don't know, I think I have someone in mind who could be doing this to you.
I stop eating immediately?
Who do you think Laura? I've been racking my brain over this for months and haven't been able to figure it out.
Look, I might be wrong, but the hospital note said that you took something from that person, and they took something from you, in this case, Nadia.
And what you received at the mansion asked you to leave Dimitri, so I thought, who would have an interest in seeing you away from him?
Because that person didn't ask for any ransom; the goal was for you to leave him.
Tell me already, Laura, for God's sake — I said, already distressed.
My guess is Fraya, Dimitri's ex-wife, she's the only one who would have a reason to separate you two, and we all know it was a blonde woman who took Nadia from the hospital.
Holy shit, how come I didn't think of that before?
That damn cow.
How did you come to that conclusion so quickly?
"I've been spending a lot of time with Cohen, I've learned a few things," she said.
"But Madi, I'm almost certain she won't give you Nadia."
She will give her to me, yes, she has to deliver her — already feeling the tears falling.
I can't take this anymore, Laura, I can't take it anymore.
Laura hugs me tightly and whispers that everything will be alright, I wish I could believe more; every time I have a glimmer of hope, it's ripped away from me.
Madi, I can ask Cohen to investigate Fraya; that way we might have a chance to catch her.
I think a bit about what she said; if I do nothing and just wait for notes with instructions that have a 95% chance of being fake, I'll never hold my daughter in my arms.
"Okay,"
"You made the right choice, Madi.
I'll try to get a phone at reception," she said, standing up.
"Where's your phone?" I ask her.
"Cohen was trying to track us, so I destroyed my sim," she said, shrugging.
"Finish your coffee, I'll be right back," she said and left the room.
I was getting nervous about Laura's delay; she'd been gone for half an hour and hadn't returned.
Just as I was about to go looking for her, Laura came back with a very unpleasant expression.
Why did you take so long?
I was on the phone with Cohen, but I have some good news and some bad news.
What happened?
While we were talking, Cohen sent an agent to Fraya's house to keep an eye on her.
And then?
She's really with Nadia.
Ten minutes after the agent got there, she left with the baby and went to a park across her house.
After a while, she went to a travel agency.
She's leaving with Nadia for another country, Madi.
WHAT?— I yelled in disbelief.
That's right, you heard me.
Calm down, before she boards the plane Cohen will approach her, they're already preparing everything, Fraya won't be able to leave the country.
When I come face to face with her, I'm going to end that bitch's life — I said, throwing the rest of my breakfast on the floor.
"The first slap is mine," said Laura.
1 Week Later
I was on my way to the mansion.
I spent a week waiting at the hotel for a note from Fraya, but I didn't receive anything.
Laura then convinced me it was time to return home.
They found out that Fraya's flight was tomorrow morning, and everything was already prepared for us to catch that thief.
I was counting the hours, just thinking that it wouldn't be long before I saw my Nadia again, and a whirlwind of feelings settled in my heart.
I don't know exactly what to expect, when I arrive at Dimitri's house.
I left him; he might not want me back, and to be honest, I wasn't prepared for that possibility at all.
The car stops in front of the mansion.
I can hear my heart pounding from how nervous I am.
How will he receive me?
Laura didn't tell me what his reaction was when he woke up in the hotel without me by her side.
Every time I imagined that scene, it was him possessed by rage.
"Ready?" Laura asks.
No—I said with a knot in my stomach.
Calm down, Madi, he loves you.
So she left, letting me gather the courage to go to the door.
I take a deep breath and walk to the house, the door is open.
I don't know whether to call him or not; in fact, I don't know what to do.
I try to prepare myself for everything, especially for being kicked out of there.
That would be the right thing to do; I abandoned him, and he has that right.
Finally, I set foot inside the house and stop at the door, seeing Dimitri right in front of me.
