Chapter 10 — A Call for a Deal

It's been four days since Austin went missing. Lucy and Kent always keep their phones open while waiting for the call until they received one. 

"Honey, it's Cassandra!” Lucy told Kent when she saw the number calling her was Cassandra. 

Kent quickly took it and answered the call. 

" Hello. Where are you? Where did you take Austin? I swear Cassandra, I will kill you." Kent warned her with gritted teeth. 

Huge laughter echoed inside his office. They decided to go to work even their heart was broken inside. They must work hard to secure their family's future. 

"Don't worry, Mr. Stone, Austin is doing well. Besides, he's sleeping soundly beside me." Cassandra said like she's annoying them. 

Lucy clenched her fist after hearing what her friend just said. 

"How dare she took my son! If I knew from the start, I won't hire her to be Austin's nanny,” she mumbled while listening to their conversation. 

Kent continued pursuing her to bring their son back but when Cassandra began telling him about her request, he felt like he wanted to vomit. 

"What? I can't do that. You want money, I can give it to you, right away!” he protested to her offer. 

Lucy got curious and ask why her husband turned like a mute. His face began to turn pale like he saw a ghost or looks like Cassandra is threatening him. She saw his face covered with sweats. 

"Honey, what did she say? Why you look tense?” Lucy asked her husband after his conversation with Cassandra. 

Kent took a deep breath and loosened his necktie. He held her hands and pressed them. 

“Honey, I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you this but, that crazy friend of yours wants a deal," Kent informed her, and Lucy got curious. 

"Just tell me, hon. I am willing to listen whether it's good or bad,” she told Kent. 

He helps her sat back in her seat while he went back to his desk. This is a very weird offer he had in his life. Kidnappers wanted money from their captive families in exchange for their freedom, but Cassandra was different. 

“Hon, she wants to have sex with me! She wants a baby from me. She said her husband can't produce a child anymore because of an accident. I don't know if she's kidding or not!” Kent can't believe what she just said. 

It's far and impossible to do. He loves Lucy and spending one night at his son's abductor is a bit harsh and inhuman. 

Lucy's trying to understand Cassandra's request but the more she thinks about it, the more her anger and hatred arise. 

"What? She can't do that. Did she lose her mind? No, honey, we can't do that. I won't let you do that. We can find ways with the police' help." She tried to find ways. 

Kent cupped his face trying to think of a better solution. He shouted inside his office when he began to think about the offer. 

"I can't do it! Your friend is insane. Shit!” his pissed. 

Lucy doesn't understand why she chooses that deal. Her daughter was dead. Why does she need to drag her family into her mess? 

“Hon, just relax. We can tell her you agreed but we have to think of a better plan to arrest her,” she said to enlightens her husband. 

"What is it?” Kent asked Lucy. 

“Trust me. Come here, I'll tell you,” she instructed her husband what to do. 

Lucy painted a wide smile on her face with Kent after they made a plan.

Cassandra POV:

Val was doing a movie marathon while I prepared our food for lunch. I'm glad that we're now complete. We have Austin to take care of. I miss preparing Kylie her favorite dish chicken adobo. I wish she's here with us so she can meet her brother Austin. 

Four days from now since I took him from Lucy and Kent. I feel proud of myself because my kidnapping plan succeeded. 

Now, it's time to offer a deal. It's my and my husband's choice. I'm happy he let me do it.

"Are you sure, it's fine for you, Val?” I said while fixing the table for our lunch. 

My husband was having a movie marathon like a little kid. He's so focused on his hobby, so I threw the plate on his face. Fortunately, it's made of plastic. 

“What the fuck, Cassandra! Yeah, you can sleep with him all you want but make sure he will give you a baby!” he said making his eyes wider than before. 

I went closer to Val and kiss him on his lips. It's a gentle kiss full of love. At the age of forty-five, we both still active in lovemaking. I pulled my lips away, but I didn't expect when he roughly clasps my hair and smashed his lips on mine. This time it's full of eagerness and lust. 

“You know how much I waited to reunite us together? I spent over ten years waiting for you to go out, but you chose to stay with that bitch Lucy. Now that we're back happily, I promised to be a good husband and a good father to our son." Val promised me and I believe it. 

He carried me inside our room. I know he can't control his hard thing anymore. As soon as he claimed my lips again, we just follow what our body wants. When he climbed on top of me, I just close my eyes and accept his hardness slamming inside me. 

"Oh, shit, you're still good, dear," I whispered in his ears as he kept pounding me. 

"Should I go deeper?” Val teases me with his lips nibbling on my chest. 

The more he pushed his hard thing inside, the more I felt reaching my orgasms. 

“Yes, deeper!” I exclaimed. 

Even we do sex ten times a day, nothing will change. My husband can't give me a child since he's incapable because of a car accident. And after we lost our daughter, it's too late to have one and we both held a grudge against those people who look down on us. Now his family will suffer to pay for his sin.

"Shit, I'm coming, Val!” I cry out in ecstasy. 

“Me too!” he added too.

As Val pushed the final blow, they both screamed reaching their orgasms.

"Gale, don't tell your brother I just arrive, okay?” Alexander said to his son. 

He just came from New York after living there for five years. After Kent and Lucy are married, he decided to migrate to lived there for good but after he saw the news on television that his grandson was been kidnapped by his nanny itself, he processed his visa immediately to visit the Philippines. 

“Yes, dad. Don't worry, you can count on me!” Gale confirmed his loyalty to his father. 

Alexander felt relieved that they won't know since Kent was still mad at him for keeping his marriage to Eloisa, a fake one. He kept many secrets from him, and Kent should despise him. He has been a bad father to both of them and now Alexander wanted to give all his intelligence and forces to help to find his only grandson, Austin even if he will sacrifice himself. 

He's at the airport and on his way to Kent's mansion. Despite the age gap between his two sons, you can’t tell that Alexander was already a senior citizen since he built, health and movement were still like a mid-thirties man. 

"Don't worry, son, I will end this. I was their target and not my grandson,” he said to himself while leading his way to his son's mansion. 

No one knows about Cassandra's motives except Alexander. He knew her because she's the wife of one of his worker's Val. He can't believe that his wife was given parole to have an early dismissal of her murder case. 

"So, you come back with revenge. Well, I won't let you hurt my dear Austin,” he mumbled on his way. 

Finally, he arrived at his son's house. 

He pressed the doorbell and as the main door opened, Kent saw his dad and he doesn't know if he's going to approach, hug him, or yelled at him.
