Chapter 9: chapter 9

Xavier's POV-Mark and two others took her back. She was  the wrong person. It's of no use to keep her here.But don't know why? I'm feeling a little low. By her leaving. She was innocent. She keeps popping in my mind."Xavier, why did you order Ben to follow her? She is not the person we are looking for." Ohio asked. Yes, I told one of my people to follow her."Just in case. I don't want to take any chances. What if she tattle about us to the police? With this deal going on with the Indian mafia we have to be more careful." I replied. "Yeah. You are right. Ok then I'm going to see the progress of the deal." With that Ohio left the office. I took my phone and called Mark. He must be back now. *************************I woke up earlier than usual. I hardly slept for 2 hours. I looked at the watch. It's 5:30 am. Sebastian was up. He is the cook in the house. "Good morning boss." He was cheerful as usual, even this early in the morning.  He made me a cup of coffee. I went to my office. I cleared my desk and get on the paperwork for the other deals with the Italian group. We are collaborating for a private hospital in there. It's an investment and a risk. If everything went well. Then maybe I can give the people under me a good future. It's an impossible task right now, but still I'm trying.  I just don't understand the statistics and market flow. Which is very important in this field. I was watching the news on the laptop when I got a call. It's from Ben."Boss, the woman got kidnapped." He said hurriedly."Ben? Calm down first, then tell me in detail." I asked him again."Sir the woman, whom I was following, got kidnapped with her daughter. I am following them, and I'm not confirmed how many of them will be there, I can't handle them alone." He told me.My heart stopped beating."What?" I roared. "Who would dare to cross me? Keep following them and send me the location when you reach there." I hang the call. My heart. What the hell I'm feeling? I called Ohio and Mark in the office. "That girl from yesterday got kidnapped." I told them as they entered in."Why would anyone kidnap her?" Asked Ohio. "Did you see anything suspicious yesterday when you dropped her?" I asked Mark."No, nothing. She just gets off in front of her daughter's school." He replied. " What to do now? See, it's none of our business now. As you said yesterday, she is useless to you and you already let her go. So now she is not your responsibility." Said Ohio. "If she got kidnapped because of me. If someone got the information that she was here, anyone can think that she has some kind of relation with me or they can even think of her as my informer. They don't know the truth." I said.  I'm keeping my calm as much as I can. But I'm boiling from the inside. If they are in danger and that's too because of me."What the hell are you talking Ohio. She is some helpless girl. They have her daughter too. We have to do something. It's possible that they took her because of us." Mark said a little worried. Just in that moment Mark's phone went off.He picked it up. "Hello." His expression changed. "Boss. It's her." He pushed the phone towards me. She called him, that means she is safe for now. I took phone in my hand. "Hello. Isabella?""Xavier." She said my name softly. I told her not to call me by my name but right now I'm so relieved to hear her say my name. "I am coming. Don't be scared. I'm on my way." I assured her. "They......." She started crying. I know what she wants to say. "I know love. I'm coming. If someone is near you then give them the phone." Someone must be near her because the next next voice I heard was of a man."Who are you and what you want?" I asked straightforward. "Boss...... I mean Xavier. you..... now you got time to talk, before when I came to you, you said I am a coward and weak and you stamped on me. Now see you are the weak here. From now on I'll be above you." I heard him babbling."Tell me where you are?" I kept my calm. I didn't want to let him know my power just yet. I can't alert him."I'm not stupid to tell my location so you can come with your whole gang. You can't find the girls. They will be gone by the time you reach here. I'll tell you a place, you will come alone otherwise she......" there was a pause, I heard her cry. He hit her. "I will come alone." I replied.  I don't want him to hurt her anymore. Whoever this person is, he will be as good as dead. He will beg for mercy but I will show him nothing but pain. He touched the wrong person. "Then wait for your time." With that he cut the call.I punched the wall near me. The crack can clearly be seen. I fist up my hand in my hairs. "Calm down Xavier. Ben will be calling you soon. We will find her." Ohio said. Putting one hand on my shoulder. "She is an innocent person. She and her daughter must be scared right now.  He.... He hit her. I will kill that bastard." I said with anger.I heard my phone ringing. "Hello, Ben........ Ok..... you keep an eye on them. Let me know immediately if there is any changes. ..........yes. Reply me immediately" I hung up."We know the location.  Let's move immediately." I said. "He said to come alone." Mark reminds me. As we all went out of my office. "It's not a movie Mark. I lied to him. We will be there before he will take her somewhere.  I'll go inside alone. Just in case. You both will be in line with me. If I need you, you can come and help me. we will take two cars. ******************************We reached there within 20 minutes. I called Ben to ask if the girls are still in there, they were. I get out of the car and entered the ruined and abandoned factory site. As I get near I could hear some movements. I get inside. I hear gun's clicking sound. "You came too early. I didn't even send you the location. Are you that desperate to die from my hands?" I saw the man. With his gun pointing me. "I remember you." I said. I remember him. He wanted to steal from me and had the guts to ask for becoming my partner. "Obviously. You ruined my life. You took all my trusted men. You made me an outcast. Now no one wants to make deals with me. Everyone laugh at me. Only because of you." He took his aim towards me but before he could shoot, Mark shoot his hand from the side enterance. My other men took down all of them. They were only 4 and still dared to threaten me. "Boss, the little girl is here." Ben informed us. Mark went there and told me to look for Isabella. I ran downstairs. I heard some shouting. It was her. "Isabella" I called out for her."Xavier. I'm here. I'm here." I saw a steel door. It was literally not locked. What kind of idiots they are. They can't be called even thugs. They left there hostage unguarded.I opened the door and there she was. On the ground. With red eyes from crying. Seeing me she started to cry even more.  I ran towards her and kneel down in front of her. She without any second thought hugged me tightly. I strocked her head. "My daughter?" She asked scared. "She must be fine. I have my men take care of her. Let's go to her.  Stand up." I helped her removing the chains.We went out of there and out of that place. Then I saw the most beautiful child ever. She cried out for her mom. Isabella ran to her. She took the little girl in her arms and hugged her.I decided then and there."You are coming with me." I told her."What? Why? Why again? I didn't tell them anything. Please trust me."  She was so shocked by my declaration. "It's for your safety. Its final you are coming with us. Right now." With that I took her hand and lead her towards my car.****************************Hello lovelies.Isabella is back to Xavier. Xavier is going to take a big decision in next chapter. Wait for it.
