Chapter 118 She is missing
Ravyen's POV
I groaned still stunned that he just said okay and terminated the call. That was so absurd!
Well, nevertheless, I had a sister to babysit. Tonight means alot to her and I just didn't want to screw it up.
Ravyen's had been disturbing me with calls and I needed to get to Arianna before he explodes on me.
It was a long trip for me and rather than thinking of her, I just thought of Frank. He can't be serious right?
I shook my head to take his thoughts away while I stared at the mansion. Argh! My nemesis.
I rang the bell with a frown just for her to know I've got a problem. I was willing to pour the conversation I had earlier with Frank to her.
Her advice would be the best. I really needed it.
I had almost rang the bell when suddenly a maid spur it open. Oh, a smart move. However, this maid seems quite tensed and scared.
Her eyes were red as she was panting softly. It made me tensed and anxious.
"What's wrong?" I questioned as she opened the door widely for me to get in. I cleared my throat holding my luggage and bounced in.
Perhaps, Arianna was putting on a trick to welcome me. However, I was suddenly greeted by two policemen and a detective.
They had serious gaze at me like something was definitely wrong. Oh no! Ravyen's crimes must be out.
The news would spread soon and certainly there's always an enemy. My body quack.
I could see every worker here being interrogated, it was intriguing even though i haven't drawn closer to see for myself.
I've heard and experience enough heartbreaking news today. What's really happening?
How would Arianna take it? She must have passed out and currently hospitalized.
She's currently pregnant and it must have broken her heart. Please let her be stable, I've anticipated to be an uncle.
I was stunned as all eyes were averted to me. I felt goosebumps as though this was the wrong house.
Everyone grew more and more despondent.
I rolled my eyes to the maid beside me, I obviously needed an answer and she understood the gaze.
"It's Mrs Arianna... she's missing"
I scoffed unbelievably as that was true, I chatted her few minutes ago and she replied back.
The maid sniffed. It was obvious she had cried her eyes and she had turned pale.
"Oh please God I hope she isn't hurt" the maid furthers as she burst into tears.
I ducked my head at her trying to digest the news when the detective drew closer to me.
"Kylian?" He called rhetorically and I gulped hard, dropping my luggage to the floor.
The detective heaved a sigh and gestured to me.
"We'd like to interrogate you" he could said and raised his ID at my face.
His eyes peers at me and I could tell he had been waiting for a moment like this, to get hold of me.
His stern face and flaring nose couldn't let me concentrate. I felt like I was staring at a ghost.
Shit! Not detective Leo, we have an issue. I swear, I've repented, I no longer deliver drugs and scam people, except sometimes but I wouldn't kidnap my own sister.
The last time we met, he told me if we ever cross path, he'd send me to prison and I pointed my middle finger at him and ran away.
It's a small world and we meet again.
"Hi, detective Leo" i dryly said almost choked with fear. He didn't say anything but only a grumpy look that melted my skin was my response.
Detective Leo lead me to the dinning table, to join the tensed workers in this house.
No one leaves and no one goes out. I was just one of the maid called them. What's her name again? The girl crying...was it Esmeralda or desemona?
I dragged a chair and sat opposite the detective. I also placed a strict face as we glared at each other.
"Arianna got missing 1 hour before your arrival and your last message to her was, if he's not paying any money, then I'd use you for ransom"
I blew out air, nervous and dried up. That was quick. I suddenly felt sweaty and then rolled my eyes to and fro.
It was a joke, would he take that serious? How did he fucking know that?
"I never meant it..."
"You said that joke to the daughter of a minister and then abducted her, kylian remember?"
"Yeah but why would I abduct my sister?" I responded back, staring into his eyeballs.
He had a notepad to record everything I'd say. He was always prepared. He should be a lawyer who's good at manipulating.
I could see some
His questions were puzzling at a point I got confused. He stood up, walk around me, scrolled through the messages found on her phone.
Whosoever abducted her, left behind her phone as he or she was in a haste. How about her fucking bodyguards!
What were they doing? Unfortunately it got to my ears that they were drugged!
Furthermore, I had suggested they go through the CCTV but then there was no footage.
Everything was planned and it turns out to be tonight that's her biggest event.
Oh my God. I'm trying so hard to keep calm but I'm literally shaking, buried with a lot of negative thoughts.
I'm feeling nausea and wanting to throw up but this detective disturbing question puts me in a tight seat that all I can think is how to find Arianna.
Obviously, someone in this house was working with them.
Why me when I just returned to meet her. If that was the case, everyone is the suspect.
I tried defending myself because I believed this man would just come up with something just to get me to a precinct.
He's certainly hungry for a promotion and I was a criminal that he'd need but there were other hardnuts out there, I was the least in the rank!
"Kylian, you'd do anything for money even if it comes to betraying your own blood"
Wow, was that it? Is ravyen aware that his fiancee is missing?
"The point is you believe I abducted her? I could just steal the money because I've got key to his vault" I explained brewing anger inside of me.
"You're just a suspect yet, you could turn out to be the culprit, perhaps something more than money is involved"
I could see some cyber investigators trying their best to hack something, possibly, they must have gotten a clue or something.
I inhaled softly, my eyes felt dizzy as I folded my lips.
I was running out of breath and to be sincere, I felt i'd drop dead because of panic.
The detective tossed my a polythene bag, to pump air inside me.
This shouldn't be happening! My eyes were red and as fear gripped me. My hands tendinously gripped the table.
I lowered my gaze at the table and then said;
"What next?"
