Her Return, His Regret

When Bianca left for the restroom, Adan received a call from a strange number.

At first, he wanted to ignore the call, but then he remembered that he was expecting a call. His company was bidding for a construction tender for the biggest shopping mall building project in the Country. So, he excused himself and went outside where it was quiet.

"Hello, Adan Nicholson speaking," he answered in his usual professional voice.

Sobbing sounds echoed through the phone speaker, making Adan furrow his eyebrows.

"Hello? Who's this?" He questioned.

"Adan... it's me," a tearful female voice echoed through the speakers.

"It's you?" Adan replied, frowning. "You who?"

"Adan... don't you remember me? It's me..." the voice replied, breaking into sobs again.

"I don't know anyone called me," Adan remarked and cut the call before going to his call history and blocking the number.

He spent a few minutes outside, simply staring up at the dark sky, watching the twinkling stars light up the city.

When he returned inside, he frowned when he didn't see Bianca. It had already been thirty minutes.

"Where's Bee?" He asked Caleb. "Is she still in the restroom?"

Caleb glanced at Adan and remarked, "I thought she followed you outside, so I didn't think much of it."

"Could she have left?" Caleb asked.

"No, I was just outside. I would have seen her if she left," Adan said, looking around. For some reason, he felt his stomach knot with nerves. "I'll check the restroom." Adan went to the restroom and found a lady coming out.

"Excuse me, can you check for someone for me in there? They've been there quite a while," Adan requested.

The lady with a punk look glanced at Adan and flirtatiously replied, "Handsome, there's no one in there. But I can give you the attention you need."

"No, thanks," Adan rejected outright and rushed into the restroom. After checking all the cubicles, he confirmed that Bianca wasn't there and his heart sank to his feet.

He took out his phone and tried her number but it redirected him to voice mail.

"Fuck!" He hissed, his jaw clenching as worry crept into him.

Where could she be?

"She's not here?" Caleb's voice echoed in the restroom after he followed Adan in. "Something's off."

Adan called his men who always followed him at a distance.

"I want this place shut down immediately. No one goes out or in. My fiancee is missing and I want her found," Adan ordered, his voice cold and menacing.

An hour later, everyone in the club had been screened and all the footage had been watched but there was no sign of Bianca leaving the restroom after she went in.

"Mr Nicholson, I'm afraid we can't locate Miss Jones-"

Adan glared at the club manager

and yelled, "Are you kidding me? She

went missing in your club. I'll hold t

you accountable for whatever

happens to her. If you don't find out what happened, I'll have this place shut down!"

The manager's eyes widened with fear. He said, "I know an IT guy. I think someone tampered with the cameras. I'll have him restore the deleted footage. We shall find out what happened to your fiancee, Mr Nicholson."

"Well, then, get started with it. And

pray nothing happens to her because if Kfind even a scratch on her body make you pay for it," Adan hissed. "You can't tell me someone can sneak into your club and delete footage that only upper management has access to. If I don't hear good news in the next ten minutes, I'll destroy you."

Meanwhile, Bianca opened her eyes and found herself in the back of a moving car. She tried to move but realised that her hands and feet were tied.

Her heart dropped to her feet and fear crept into her.

'Have I been kidnapped?' She asked in her mind.

She couldn't see the person who was driving the car. They had a mask on and a cap covering their head.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?" Bianca asked.

Silence.

The kidnapper didn't respond and just stepped on it, fueling the fear that had crept into Bianca.

She recalled what had happened in the restroom. The masked person stood behind her and injected her

neck with an unknown substaget

That

as how she lost

was

consciousness. The next thing she knew, she was being taken to God knows where.

Getting no answer from the kidnapper infuriated Bianca. She yelled, "I'm fucking talking to you, you stupid kidnapper! Where the hell are you taking me?"

Frustration seeped into Bianca. If she could move, she would have jumped out of the car.

The kidnapper kept driving until the car finally came to a stop.

Bianca was dragged out of the car and unceremoniously dropped to the ground.

"Ouch! You asshole!" She yelled, hissing at the pain.

The kidnapper suddenly chuckled and removed the cap and mask.noveldrama

Bianca's eyes rounded, her jaw dropping to the floor. "It's you! Why did you bring me here?"

She paused and corrected, "No, why did you kidnap me?"

"I brought you here to get rid of you. Adan Nicholson belongs to everyone. How dare you try to marry him?"

Bianca couldn't believe her ears. She glanced at the kidnapper and remarked, "So, you did something illegal and risked spending the rest of your life in jail because I'm getting married to Adan? Are you nuts?" "Shut up!" The kidnapper yelled. "I don't care what you think! Adan doesn't belong to anyone. He will never get married. I'll get rid of you right here, right now."

Bianca realised that she couldn't pump sense into the kidnapper. She looked around, realising they were parked at the edge of a cliff.

Her heart raced when it dawned on her. This crazy woman was serious about killing her.

She gulped and reasoned, "Let's talk about this like civilised people. Do you really want to go to jail because of a man who doesn't even love you?"

The kidnapper laughed. "I'm not going to go to jail because no one will ever find your body."

With one powerful shove, Bianca found herself falling off the cliff, her terrified scream echoed around the place before being drowned out by the surrounding trees.
