My weakness 1
My weakness 1
Darian was mulling over the text he got from the strange number, thoughts of who he could be and what he wanted occupied his mind.
He had discussed this with Gaius and Judson and they agreed that a family meeting should be called before actions would be taken.
He noticed Lena's car was not parked in the garage. It was already late in the evening, he wondered where she could be. Sauntering into the house, Dickson bowed to him and he halted his steps.
"Where is Lena and why are you here if she's not at home?" Darian queried him.
"Ma'am Lena went out with Harrison and her friend, she told me to stay back, boss." He responded, still bowing. He didn't want to behold the vicious look on Darian's face.
Darian arched his brows. She didn't tell him that she was going somewhere with Lisa. He shook his head and walked authoritatively into the house with Jay trotting behind him.
When they got inside, he called her but there was no response. Darian was getting impatient, he sat down and stood up, parading the living room, he was confused.
"Where could she be?" He dialled Harrison's number, he picked up and didn't say anything. "Where are you guys?" Darian asked, his voice was rough and scary.
"Boss, we are home already," Harrison responded, ending the call.
A few minutes later, he was in the house with Lisa by his side.
"Where is Lena?" Darian asked, rising to his feet when he saw them coming into the house. His main concern was his wife, he didn't care about anything or anyone else.
Harrison scratched his head, "We went to the pool." He said.
"Pool?" Darian's eyes flickered between Harrison and Lisa.
"Yes, it's our friendship anniversary and we always visit the swimming pool in Manhattan to celebrate." Lisa's eyes were bleary as she spoke to Darian.
"I thought she told you about this," Harrison said.
"She didn't. What happened at the pool?" Darian's heart was beating loudly. He walked closer to where Lisa was standing and stood right in front of her. "What happened?" He touched her shoulders, urging her to speak out.
Lisa stared into his ferocious eyes; there was no way she was going to tell him that Lena got kidnapped while she was having a sexual romp with Harrison.
Tears fell from her eyes, rushing down like water flowing from a tap. She looked at Harrison, he was confused as well. Lisa knew he'd lose his job if he talked about the sex they had, so she quickly acted.
"Harrison and I went to get some things that we'd be needing and we came back to see that Lena had been kidnapped. Her phone is with me," she handed Lena's phone to Darian.
"Kidnapped? By whom?" Darian asked, fear apparent in his tone. That was the height of it all, he couldn't take that. They could mess with everything around him but not his wife. He snatched the phone from Lisa, scrolling through, he didn't find anything reasonable. "Arrange our men, we are going to Manhattan tonight." He commanded Jay.,
"Yes, boss." Jay broke out to get the bodyguards.
"I am sorry, boss. I shouldn't have left her. This is a huge mistake on my side." Harrison took the responsibility for his mistake.
"We shouldn't have left her," Lisa cried.
Darian didn't care about all that. He remained silent as he thought of what could have happened to Lena and where she could be. The night was near already and the whole place was getting dark.
"Fuck, Lena! Fuck, why didn't she tell me this?" He hit his knuckles against his palm, running his fingers through his hair. "Let's go," he led the way out of the living room.
"Boss, I have checked every nook and cranny of that area but didn't find any traces of her. I don't think she's there." Harrison told Darian.
"If she's not Manhattan, where is she?" Darian asked, squeezing Harrison's shirt against his neck. "Where the fuck did you two go that you had to leave her alone? And what kind of swimming pool did you visit?"
"It's a secluded pool located in Manhattan. No one owns it, just there for recreational purposes," Lisa explained to Darian, gently letting his hand off Harrison who was trembling in fear.
Darian sizzled, wandering the living room. He was worried and didn't know where to start, he couldn't afford to let anything happen to her.
“Fuck! I can't stay here while my wife is out there. Show me where the pool is located, Lisa." He grabbed his car keys from the coffee table, dashing out of the house.
Lisa and Harrison followed behind him, they got to the garage and Harrison took the keys from him. Darian sat in the passenger's seat together with Lisa while Jay drove the other car with some bodyguards with him and others stayed back to watch over the house.
They arrived at their destination after some hours; it was already so dark and the building surrounding the swimming pool was locked.
Darian banged the gate aggressively, he turned to Lisa and said. “I thought you said it was owned by no one. Who are the people locking the building?" He was frustrated, his head was spinning and hurting.
He didn't want to imagine something had happened to his wife.
"Yes," Lisa stepped forward. "No one owns the pool, I didn't know it was always locked at night."
"Spread around, search everywhere for her," Darian commanded his men.
Without hesitations, they pulled out their guns and lurked around the area in search of Lena. Darian stayed back in the building with Lisa.
He was thinking, yelling her name, roaming the area and doing all he could. He searched through the thick bushes around but didn't see her. After hours of searching, the men gathered back at the building to give a negative report.
Darian's heart sank, he wouldn't have let Lena go with Lisa if he had known about that plan.
"Let's go back home, boss. I don't think she's anywhere around here." Jay said to him.
Darian felt so empty without his wife. He sluggishly moved his feet toward the car.
Panting, sighing and hissing, there must be a way to get to her, he had to think to get her back home. He couldn't go back home when his wife was out there in the hands of people he didn't know.
"There should be a way to track the movement, is there a CCTV camera here?" He queried Lisa.
"I am not certain about that. No one would think of installing one here, we've been coming here for years and there's never been a case like this." She responded to him.
Jay hurried to get to Darian, "You have a call, boss." He informed him.
"Pick it up, I don't want to talk to anyone." He said, throwing his hands at him.
"It's from the same number that called earlier."
Darian snatched the phone from him; he didn't think of that before. How could he be so forgetful? He had told her that they had one more surprise for him. Was kidnapping Lena the surprise? He thought as he clicked on the answer button on the phone screen.
"Your wife is so pretty. I have never seen a pretty woman all my life." The voice said, laughing hysterically.
Darian could hear the faint sounds of Lena's sobs and it broke his heart. He fumed. "Don't touch her!"
"What will you do if I do?" He dared Darian. "She's beautiful and everything about her is beautiful in the sexy bikini she's wearing. Oh my gosh! I want to devour her right now."
Darian's blood was boiling, his jaw clenching and his fist rolled into a ball. He was angry, so angry.
“What do you want?" He asked the caller.
"I know you too well. You are not that type to be patient and listen to what people have to say, but I guess I did a good job in taking what you value the most and if you don't act right, I will not only sleep with her, I will mistreat her, do things you wouldn't like to her pretty body.
The thoughts of another man having his wife scared him so much. Lena was his, alone and no one dared touch her.
"What the fuck do you want from me?" Darian yelled again, his eyes flickering in the dark.
The bodyguards all stood still, waiting for him to end the call and give an order. Harrison stared guiltily at him, his heart in his throat while Lisa just stood there, tears cascading down her cheeks.
"I have played with you so much," the caller laughed over the phone. "Scared you too much and I enjoyed doing that. I promised to surprise you for the last time before going MIA on you. So, here is what you will do, Darian."
"How the fuck do you know my name?"
