Chapter 41

The man's wife had been on the ground floor for hours, listening in on Rose and Mrs. Scott's conversation about who could have kidnapped Olivia and Kylie.

Fools, she thought and rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, Jaime and the bodyguards had stepped inside the house through the back door.

She involuntarily jumped out of the chair that she was sitting in when the gun was fired and looked up worriedly when she heard her husband's cries.

"Oh my God!" she shouted and was about to start running to the stairs when she heard a voice behind her.

"Put your hands up."

She turned around and looked from the two men that were pointing their guns at her to Jaime who she gave a tight-lipped smile before saying, "Long time no see coward."

Jaime heard what the lady said but he wasn't really bothered about it. What he was bothered about was the gunshot that they heard few seconds ago "Put your hands up," the bodyguard said again but Laura refused to listen.

She looked at the three men in front of her and she knew she had to run for her life. So, without caring about being shot, she ran.

"After her," the bodyguard said, and they headed to the stairs.

They separated when they got to the first floor. Jaime went right while the bodyguard went left.

***

Kylie and the man were now in one of the hallways. The man had his hands up in the air and Kylie pointed the gun at him.

"I know who your father and mother are," he said.

"I'm not asking you any questions," Kylie said to him.

"Your mom, she was extremely brilliant—straight A's, but your dad was a fool. He was my dog."

"You better keep shut."

"I hated him, and I still hate him."

"Why?" Kylie asked curiously.

"Because he destroyed my chance with your mother. He stole her from me. And this is my opportunity of getting my revenge that I've been yearning for for years.

"You…" Kylie was saying but trailed off when someone called her name "Kylie" Jaime called when he saw Kylie and smiled at her. She was already in control of the situation before his arrival. He was proud of her "Daddy" Kylie screamed when she saw Jaime. She dropped the gun and started running toward him with opened arms "Daddy!!!"

The moment Kylie dropped the gun, the man picked it up and pointed it at Kylie.

"NO!!!" Jaime screamed when he saw what was about to happen "PLEASE…!!!"

The man looked at him coldly and said, "This is my revenge," before pulling the trigger.

But two gunshots were heard at the same time, which was strange.

Kylie involuntarily flew in the air when the bullet penetrated her shoulder. Her eyes widened in shock and her mouth formed an "O."

Everything happened within a few seconds but in Jaime's eyes, it happened forever.

"KYLIE!!!!" Jaime screamed horrifically and ran toward her. "Kylie" he called panicky "Kylie stay with me. Please stay with me. Please…"

Kylie had turned extremely paled in seconds and her blood was everywhere. Her hand trembled as she tried to hold her father's hand that was caressing her face and hot tears rolled down from her cheeks "Daddy" she called and spat out blood "Mommy is…"

"Stop talking. Mommy is going to be okay"

"Daddy…some…cute men…are…bad men"

"Everything is going to be okay baby" Jaime reassured "I feel so tired" Kylie said almost inaudibly "Somebody help!!!!" Jaime screamed.

"I just called 911. They are on their way," someone replied, and Jaime looked up to see who it was.

"Bianca," he said, surprised.

"Don't worry," she sobbed. "Nothing bad will happen to Kylie."

It was then that Jaime noticed that the man was groaning. He had been shot in the leg. The sight of the man infuriated him.

"I shot him," Bianca said, "Although, I shot him late. If I hadn't, his bullet would have hit Kylie in her heart."

"Motherfucker!" Jaime roared and carefully laid Kylie down. He ran to where the man was and started hitting him.

"How dare you try to kill my daughter!" he was screaming as he was hitting him.

"Revenge," the man said with blood in mouth. "Revenge…revenge…revenge…revenge."

When he said it the fifth time, Jaime stopped hitting him and looked at who the man was. He recognized him instantly. "JEREMY ANDREW!!!" he roared.

"Nice meeting you again…Dermot," Jeremy replied.

"I'm going to kill you today!!!"

***

Olivia started screaming when she heard the gunshots. She knew Kylie was in trouble and she started trying to get out of the chair that she was tied too. She was desperate. She had to get out of the chair. She knew Kylie had been shot. She could tell from how Jaime screamed.

She started crying into the sellotape. This was the moment that her dear daughter needed her most.

"Kylie," she hummed, "Kylie."

Laura had run off when the first gunshot had been heard and Olivia knew she wasn't coming back.

Olivia tried harder to untie herself, but the mission turned out to be impossible.

***

"Stop!" Bianca cried, "Jaime stop! You're going to kill him."

"Exactly what I should have done years ago," Jaime roared as he hit him more.

"You have to stop! The police are here!"

"I'm killing him today!"

Someone stronger pulled Jaime off Jeremy and Jaime grunted out his displeasure.

"Let me go. Let me just finish him," he shouted.

"Let us do our job," the policeman that was still holding Jaime said.

The paramedics were already by Kylie's side, and they were about to put Kylie on the stretcher when Jaime noticed them.

Jaime ran to Kylie's side and started calling her name, "Kylie. Kylie. Please…Kylie."

***

Someone opened the door all of a sudden. Olivia's heart beat faster. She had thought that Laura wasn't coming back but she was wrong.

"Please Laura. Please. My daughter is hurt," she said as tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Everything is going to be okay, Miss Grimes," a man said.

Olivia instantly looked up to see who it was.

"I'm here to save you," the man added and brought out a knife which he used to cut the ropes.

The moment Olivia was free, she thanked the man and ran out of the room.

"Kylie!" She screamed as she saw her daughter on a stretcher "Kylie" she weeped Jaime hugged her and said, "She is going to be okay."

"My poor Kylie."

"They've been caught. They've all been caught. Laura, Jeremy and Hanna."

***

Three Months Later Laura Davilla, Jeremy Andrew, and Hanna Howell were all sentenced to 12 years for kidnapping, 27 years for kidnapping and attempted murder, and 7 years for kidnapping, respectively, few weeks ago.

It was a beautiful morning. Olivia got up from the chair that she was sitting on and walked to the window. She unconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. She was two months pregnant.

Someone opened the door and stepped in. It was Bianca. She beamed at Olivia as she was walking toward her.

"You look great," Olivia said. Bianca was putting on a beautiful gown for today's occasion. She was the bridesmaid.

"Thanks sis. You look stunning."

Olivia was putting on a beautiful blue wedding gown.

"Are you ready to become Mrs. Scott for the rest of your life?" Bianca asked.

"I'm a million times ready," she replied, and they both smiled.

"Mummy!" A little girl screamed as she joined them in the room. She smiled at Olivia and Olivia smiled back.

"Hey Kylie. Don't destroy your makeup," Olivia said.

"I'm beautiful without it. Daddy said that I'm the most beautiful girl that he’s ever seen."

"I know, but for today's occasion, you need the makeup. So, don't destroy it."

"Fine," Kylie said and rolled her eyes.

"So, are we all ready?" Bianca asked.

"Yes," they chorused and started walking out of the room.
