Chapter 5 Not Even One, Two

'Is this any sort of a prank call?' she composed herself immediately and gave her a hope of someone playing funny.

'You think this is a prank call, why don't you than rush to your home and check it by yourself, my men specially for you had left a hint, meanwhile I order for their killing' his mocking tone suddenly turned in to the cruel one, hitching out her breath.

'Who are you and why did you kidnapped them?' all these years she had learnt to compose herself even in the worst situations but right now she was losing all her senses, the only thing keep beeping in her mind was that her babies and best friend were in danger.

'What happened Autumn, who are kidnapped?' listening her talking on the call, Elizabeth quickly asked when the call ended from the other side and she was in panic.

'Logan, Ethan, my family. Someone had kidnapped all of them' her eyes filled with tears, she crouches down on the floor hiding her face in the palms of her hand.

'Don't Panic Autumn, you should report to police they will help you in finding them' Elizabeth hold her and suggested, liking her idea Autumn swiftly stood.

'You are right, I should go to the police station and report to them'

'Please cover up for me if something come up' she handed over her things to her and rushed towards the stairs, not wanting to waste time for elevator.

'Hello, who are you and why you have kidnapped my family' while climbing down the stairs she again received the call from the same number, picking it up she yelled at the person on the call, just thinking of them caught by some strangers was fearing her, her babies were too young to see this cruel side of life.

'You have to come here to know the answer of your question, and don't you dare to go to the police if you want your family alive, going them won't work anyways' Autumn halted on the stairs, her heart beat was high due to the panic.

'Where I have to come?' she demanded the location.

'You have received through message on your phone, reach their within half an hour if you want to see your sons and their aunt' Autumn opened the door of her car and start driving towards the location she had received without wasting any time.

'Mommy is coming' tears were rolling down from her eyes, making her vision blurry.

Her kid's images were making their way in front of her eyes, she increased the speed not bothering where she was breaking the signals.

'Why did you come back to Florida?' wiping his mouth with napkin, Alessandro asked the beautiful woman sitting across him, she was wearing pale pink color dress with matching hand bag, her long and straight blonde hair were left hanging at the back.

'Dad's business is here, I was supposed to return' sipping the wine, Clara Peterson answered confidently.

'So how much do you plan to get involve in his business' when it comes to talk about business, Alessandro could not stop himself.

'Depends' she shrugged.

'So, you do not know yet?' he assumed from her answer.

'Can we talk about something else' getting bored with the business talk she asked him politely forcing a smile on her face, Alessandro examined her before nodding.

'Sure, what you want to talk about' he motioned her to take the lead and ask what she want to talk.

'Mr. Martini, there is some urgency' suddenly Gabriel rushed interrupting their lunch, Clara glared at the man but keep her smile on the face when looked at Alessandro.

Alessandro looked at Gabriel with frown but seeing him serious than his usual days, he understood something bad had happened and needs his immediate attention.

'Excuse me' he stood and followed his assistant to the corner from where she won't be able to listen them.

'What is the urgency and why are you so nervous?'

'Giovanni called' Alessandro's body got stiffen at the mention of his rival's name.

'What shit he said this time' his jaw clenched.

'He wants to meet you'

'He thinks I am idle just like him that he will demand and I will run to fulfill his order' getting furious Alessandro yelled at him, Gabriel flinch.

'If you will not meet him within the given time he will kill someone' Gabriel informed him of the consequences.

'You think I will get afraid by this threat' he turns to leave.

'Handle him by yourself' he run the hand in his blazer smoothing out the crease.

'He will kill your sons and their mother' Alessandro's foot halted and he turned abruptly to look at his assistant with surprise.

'My sons?' the shock was evident from his voice.

'What rubbish you are talking Gabriel, if I had I wouldn't be tolerating this woman right now' pointing his finger at Clara he muttered, things were not going according to him in his own life and to make it worst Giovanni had to make his presence known.

'You know this very well that I don't have a child, not even one and you are saying I am the father of two boys?'

'He said he can prove it the kids are just three years old' he fisted his hand, in his already pissed life, suddenly from nowhere his rival has come up with his kids, about he, himself is not aware of.

'If he lied to just force me to talk to him, he is playing with fire this time, I will kill him with my own hands' hissing he turned to leave the restaurant not even looking at the woman who was waiting for him on the table, leaving it for Gabriel to deal.
