"Vince, Ace's step-brother, tried to kidnap . I was so lucky that I managed to jump out of the car before he could do anything to ." I told Madam Stella.
Shivers run down my spine as the mory plays on my thoughts. I still couldn't believe I managed to escape Vince's clutches unscathed.
I wonder what could have happened to if Lady Ravenwood didn't arrive on ti and Vince took away inside the car.
I wonder if Vince planned to kill or rely wanted to be the hostage so he could get what he wanted.
"I was so glad that soone helped you!" Madam Stella exclaid, tearing through my trail of thoughts.
I was glad too…. I couldn't express how grateful I am that I survived this day. I thought I was going to die.
"I don't know how I'm going to tell your father if you're hard!" She let go a deep, exasperated sigh. "You made us all worried when you didn't return after going to the grocery store!" Madam Stella continued in her high-pitched tone. I have to move the wireless telephone away from my ears to protect my eardrum.
Now that Madam Stell ntioned father, I was reminded that I needed to talk to him. There were so many things I needed to discuss with him and that includes Vince and how he tried to kill and Ace.
Once I told father about it, he would be angry that I didn't tell him right away. He would surely fly to Brittania in a fortnight and hire a dozen bodyguards to watch over .That's exactly what my father is going to do.
I sighed and decided I would call him early in the morning. I have the whole night to summon all the courage I could muster to do it.
"Lady Ravenwood is right, Beatrix. Just stay for the night there. It would be too dangerous if you insist on coming ho at this hour. We never know what Ace's brother has in mind. I want you to be safe."
I could imagine Madam Stella pacing back and forth inside her office with a worried look on her face. I was so sorry that I caused her so much trouble today. I sighed and waited for her ro finish her sermon before I grabbed the chance to speak.
"I feel bad for not being with Faith tonight but Lady Ravenwood and you are right. I couldn't co ho at this hour. That's why I decided to just return ho first thing in the morning. For now, I will spend the night here in the Claymore Mansion."
"Good girl. You take care. I will pass the phone to Elisa. She was eager to talk to you."
There was a mont of silence on the opposite line. Then I heard hurried footsteps in the background and seconds later I heard Elisa's worried voice asking if I was alright.
I told her I was fine and fortunately I have no life-threatening injury. I also told her
what the exact details I told Madam Stella.
Elisa was silent as she listened to my story. If I could see her expression now I know that there's a deep frown on her forehead.
I told her everything that I could recall except the part that Lady Ravenwood was actually Ace's mother. I would tell her so other ti. I couldn't explain everything while on the phone.
As expected, my best friend was worried.
"Vince seriously needed to be locked up inside a ntal institution. His actions were exactly the perfect definition of a man suffering from a ntal illness. I just hope the police would imdiately capture him. He would not stop unless he kills you or Ace." Elisa said between gritted teeth.
"The police are already working on it. There's a tracking device attached to the car so it would not be long before they find him."
When the call was over and Elisa assured that my little angel was already peacefully asleep in her bed I turned the phone off.
I let go a deep sigh of relief and returned the telephone on top of the night table.
Smiling, I headed to the bed where Vien was asleep and snuggled close to her.
As I lay beside my daughter, my thoughts drifted back to Ace. The smile on my lips faded. The worry I felt earlier returned. This ti it was greater than the last ti.
I just hope wherever he is now, he's safe.
I pray that Vince didn't do sothing terrible to his step brother. Because if he did hurt Ace, I will hunt him even to the deepest, darkest part of hell to get my revenge.
Vince would be wrong to think that I will never do anything to stop him. He was wrong.
He faked Vien's death. He tried to kill and Ace. It was enough for the last straw. I couldn't bear to watch him destroy my family without doing anything.
I couldn't bear to watch my loved ones suffer. I must do sothing to protect them.
I stared at the little angel beside and my eyes began to water. I couldn't believe that my daughter was alive. This mont is one of the best things that happened to .
My eyelids grow heavy. Before I even knew it, I fell asleep with Vien in my arms.
It was six in the morning when I woke up. The first thing to greet my view was Vien's angelic face. I blinked my eyes several tis just to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Her eyes fluttered open. "Mama…" She said softly. Her cherry lips stretched into a smile.
This is real! This is not just a dream.
"Good morning Vien." I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tight. She hugged back with equal warmth.
I kissed her on the temples before letting her go. "Today we will be seeing your baby sister Faith! She looks so much like you Vien and I'm sure you will love her…"
"B-baby… sister?"
"Yes! Faith is your younger sister! We will go to Madam Stella's Estate so you will be able to see her."
Vien's face lit up. Her eyes widened and her eyebrows shot to the ceiling. This is the first ti I saw her face this bright. She looked so happy and excited at the sa ti.
I got up from the bed and lifted her up until her toes touched the floor.
"Shall we prepare now? Mama is excited to see your baby sister."
Vien eagerly nodded her head. Her lips curled into a gentle smile. She excitedly pulled to the bathroom and I followed behind her, chuckling.
