"You're hopeless! You still like this b*tch even though she's already pregnant with Enrique's kid?"-Unknown 

ENRIQUE's POV

I reported what happened to the police but it has been hours since our neighbor saw what happened but until now, their investigation doesn't have any progress yet. I wanted to fly into rage just thinking about what might be happening to Blake right now in the hands of that kidnapper.

Even though I haven't had a blink of sleep since last night, I don't care. All I want is to find my wife.

I drove my car like a mad man around the city, in search for that black van but I didn't even see a glimpse of it.

To my irritation, my phone was ringing incessantly but I didn't answer it even once knowing that it's my mom who's calling me. She had been calling me since yesterday but I ignored her calls.

I looked at the time and realized that it was already almost 24 hours since that someone kidnapped Blake. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. I felt worthless and hopeless. I hit the steering wheel with my fists a couple of times because of anger and all the emotions I've been feeling since yesterday.

I shouted in frustration. I am a man but I felt so weak and useless right now because I couldn't do anything. This is all my fault!

I didn't know how long I've been crying like that until I found myself back home, staring at our bed, wishing that everything that happened was just a bad dream. That any moment now, Blake would come out and tell me that everything's going to be alright. I missed her already. I missed her touch and kisses. I missed how she cooks for me and smile for me.

I didn't give her my attention these past few days because of the resentment I was feeling. Now, she's gone and I don't know where to find her. I want to punch myself but no matter I what I do now, I can't take back what happened. There is only one thing to do now and that's to find a way to take her back.

My heart tightened as I recalled how she pleaded me to stay but I didn't listen to her. Now it's my fault that she got kidnapped because I didn't stay.

Don't worry Angel eyes. I will do anything to bring you back and when that time comes, I'll make it up to you and our baby.

I sat on the edge of the bed, took her pillow and hugged it. It smells like her and it just made my heart tightened more.

My body is literally shaking in fear and worry for her. My phone rang again. I checked who the caller was and it's the police in charge of the case.

"Hello, Mr. Dixon. We managed to get all the CCTV footages around the area so if you have time, come here and watch it yourself. We haven't identified the person yet but I think your wife knows that man" My jaw flexed in rage as my hand formed into a tight fist. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I need to think straight. This is not the time to let anger consume me.

"Okay. I'll be there" I said and then ended the call.

I quickly went out of the room and took my car key and jacket. I heard my stomach grumbled because of hunger but I didn't care. I haven't taken a shower yet too but so what? Blake is my utmost priority for now and I must do anything to save her.

I strode towards the door and opened it just to be shocked when I saw my parents. My dad looked like he was about to press the buzzer but his hand stopped in mid-air when I opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.

"Can we talk to you, Quen?" My dad asked.

"I'm sorry dad but I don't have time right now. I need to go to the police station"

"Police station? Why would you go there? What happened, Quen?" My mom asked worriedly but reluctant at the same time. I huffed.

"My wife got kidnapped yesterday. The police called me and I need to go there as soon as possible" I informed them.

"Your wife?!" They almost yelled in unison. I stared at them with an emotionless expression.

"Yes. Blake and I are married now. I need to go" I was about to go when I heard my father spoke again.

"Can we come with you, son?"

"No. I can manage" I answered with finality.

"Then can we stay here and wait for you?" I felt a tinge of irritation but I didn't have time to argue with them.

"Do what you want" I said and then strode my way out of the building. It hurt me to treat them that way, but I am still mad at my mother. I still couldn't believe that she could do what she did in the past. I shook my head bitterly of the thought.

I got in my car and drove fast to the police station. When I arrived there, our neighbor, Mr. Young was there too. The police officer brought us to a private room and then played a video in front of us.

"This is the footage of the CCTV camera in front of the building. As you can see, we can't see the face of the man properly because of the angle of the camera" The police officer said. I looked at the video intently and I am almost certain who that man is. I couldn't be wrong.

Even though the camera just captured his back, I know it's him. Bastard! I'm going to kill you!

"This is the initial video that we recovered but we managed to get another one" That caught my attention. He played another video and my eyes brows knitted together when I saw Blake and Jake eating at a restaurant.

"As we can see, they ate at the restaurant and judging from this video, he didn't force her to come with him" I just remained silent and waited for him to play all the videos they have.

Another video played and they're now in front of the ice cream parlor, talking. Then Blake began walking away while Jake remained on his spot.

"I'm glad we managed to get this particular CCTV footage because the owner of the ice cream parlor was apparently threatened by someone on the phone. The owner was about to throw away the copy but we caught him. He was very afraid because the caller threatened him to kill his family if he wouldn't throw that video away" The anger I am feeling doubled because of that.

I couldn't believe that that man could do terrible things like these, kidnapping and threatening people just to achieve what he wants. I didn't like him one bit before but I never expected him to be this kind of person.

I shouldn't've let him approach even a meter closer to my wife.

I continued watching the footage. Then after a couple of seconds, Jake brought out something that looks like a handkerchief from his pants and sprayed something on it before he followed Blake. Then the video ended.

"I am certain that this was the man I told you that your wife was talking to. He's also the one I saw that was carrying her and deposited her in the black van. I couldn't be wrong" Mr. Young said.

"Do you know this man, Mr. Dixon?" The policeman asked. I nodded my head as I tried to remain calm even though my insides are in turmoil.

"Yes, Mr. Peters. His name is Jake Waddell. He is a friend of my wife"

"I see. I knew it. Judging from the video at the restaurant, they seemed friends. Do you know what could be the reason why he kidnapped your wife?"

"He likes Blake. She considers him as a friend but I knew that he likes her in a romantic way from the start" The police nodded as he wrote those information I told him. He asked me a couple of questions more about the things I know about Jake before I went out of the police station.

Even though I felt the fatigue and hunger, I ignored it and drove around again, taking a possibility to see Jake or the Black van he used to kidnap Blake. Mr. Peters told me that they checked all the footages of each exits in the city and they're quite sure that Jake haven't taken Blake outside New York yet.

I told Mr. Peters that this shouldn't be out for now so that we can concentrate on investigating without the media meddling.

Mr. Peters told me that they should search Jake in his house and question his family but I told him to just wait because I had a plan in mind.

I stopped the car at the shoulder of the road and pull out my phone from my pocket. Then I dialed someone whom I'm sure that can help us find the location of Jake.

BLAKE's POV

I woke up with a headache and dried throat. I opened my eyes just to be shocked when I noticed that I am in an unfamiliar place. I closed my eyes and tried to recall what happened.

I tried to get up but I realized that my hands were handcuffed with the bedposts. The room is small and almost empty aside from the bed, a chair, a small square table and the lamp. My heart is beating rapidly and I feel like my heart is about to explode because of fear for myself and my baby.

I didn't see who did this to me but I am certain that I'm currently in danger. I tried to free myself but it's impossible because of the handcuff. I am already panicking inside and but I tried to stay calm and think straight. Panicking won't help me and I need to stay calm and think of possible ways to get out of here.

But then I closed my eyes quickly when I heard footsteps approaching the room. I felt like all my baby hairs stood up just thinking of what does this person wants from me.

The door opened. I wanted to open my eyes and see the face of my kidnapper but I remained motionless with my eyes closed. It's better to pretend sleeping for now, I guess.

I could hear the footsteps coming closer and closer before it stopped. I could tell that the kidnapper is staring at me. Then I heard another footsteps coming from outside the room, coming closer to us.

"Damn you! Why did you kidnap her? We never agreed to this extent!" A woman said in an angry voice.

"I didn't have a choice. She didn't accept my offer" A very familiar voice said. My heart was palpitating. I really wanted to open my eyes now but I chose to just remain pretending to be asleep and hear more of their conversation.

"I didn't agree to this! I told you to make her leave Enrique but I didn't tell you to kidnap her! What are you going to do about her now?" The woman asked. I could tell that she's angry as hell and at the same time, panicking too.

"I'm going to proceed with my plan. I'm going to take her away from here. She's mine and I can't let her go just like that. I've been waiting for her since I college and I can't afford to just lose her to Enrique" The woman chuckled sarcastically.

"You're hopeless! You still like this b*tch even though she's already pregnant with Enrique's kid?"

"I don't f*cking care about that. I can accept the baby and treat him as my own" The man said.

"Whatever! But remember this; you did this on your own so it's not my fault if they catch you. If you just sticked with our original plan then we don't have this situation right now! You're so dumb!"

"Rest assured. I did this on my own so I will face the consequences" The woman tsked and left the room. While the man stayed without moving. I just remained motionless as I could while trying to figure out what he's about to do. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would come out of my chest. Calm down, Blake...Don't let him notice that you're awake.

I felt him sat on the edge of the bed before I felt his hand touched my cheek. I almost winced because of his touch but I stayed immobile.

"You're mine, Blake. Do you really think that I would let you go just like that? Over my dead body. I've waited long enough and I lose my patience. Don't worry. You will never regret this. I'll make you happy and our baby. We'll build a happy family together. I promise you that" While listening to what he's saying, my body was shivering coldly. I wanted to barf because of what he's saying.

I couldn't believe that he could do this to me. I trusted him. I treated him as a friend but he did this. Anger, fear, worry and other negative emotions were mixing in my heart as I remained listening to his words of obsession towards me.

"I already planned everything and all is going according to my plan. Don't worry Blake, you will learn to love me" He said full of determination before he stood up and went out of the room. I opened my eyes instantly and saw the closed door.

A whimper escaped from my mouth as I cried. Why Jake? How could you do this to me? I thought you were a nice guy but I was wrong. I regret the day that I met you!

I tried to pull my hands out of the handcuffs desperately but I just hurt myself. My wrists were already reddish. Help me, Enrique! Please, I need you to come and save me before it's too late...
