It was pandemonium as mother and daughter hugged each other in fright while Raymond dropped flat to the ground, his hands protectively covering his head. What was wrong with these people?! He was scared out of his mind.

First, it was her daughter pointing the gun at him, and now, her mother. Unlike Arianna who had mercy on him, Raymond doesn’t even know Natalie and his chances of surviving this encounter was nil. Why were they doing this to him? He didn’t know guns were this easy to acquire.

“What are you doing?” Claudia cried out, “We are innocent,”

“Shut up!” Natalie barked at her, making Claudia almost jump out of her skin. She was so scared. She didn’t want to die in this manner.

Natalie’s grip on the gun was unfaltering and had a determined look on her face. “Do you think I waited twenty-three of my child’s life to hear your bullshits?!” She hollered so loudly that Claudia and her mother jerked in each other’s arms, lowering their gaze to the ground and refusing to meet her eyes else they provoked her.

Looking at Claudia being shielded by her mother’s arms stirred a feeling of jealousy inside Natalie. It was unfair, her child should be in her arms too. Hence, she quickly reached out for Claudia and began to pull her away from her mother.

“Mum!” Claudia screamed at the top of her voice as the crazy woman tried to separate them.

“Claudia,” Her mother’s heart was pounding like a galloping horse and she refused to give up on her child while Raymond lay on the ground unsure and useless to stop what was happening.

.....

To cut down on expenses, he had terminated his contract with the private security company guiding them else the guards would have been here at the sound of the commotion. But then, even the staff who had seen what was going on, chose to abandon them and save their lives first. They retreated into their hiding spaces at the first sign of trouble.

“I said let go of her!” Natalie aimed the gun at Claudia’s mother this time and she released her daughter’s hand with a jerk, raising her hand in surrender.

Claudia was stunned when she saw the response from her mother, having not expected that. She thought that mothers defended their children’s life even at the expense of their own life. However, she didn’t have time to think about it because Natalie aimed the gun back at her and directed her to sit on the single couch and faced her.

“Now,” Natalie started, “We are going to have an effective conversation,” She added with a smirk that sent chills down everyone’s arms, “Only that it would be on my terms,”

With that being said, Natalie directed both of her parents to sit down on the other couch and stood in the middle of them all, albeit lowering her gun which made them breathe slowly. However, they were not fools to think the worst was over. If anything, this was just the beginning.

“Alright, listen to me,” Natalie shouted to the other staff hiding in the house, “I have people outside and at the first sound of a police siren, I would blast the head of your employees with their daughter, and trust me when I said there won’t be any survivors. And maybe, if there’s time, I’ll come for you too.”

Natalie threatened them even though she had no intention of doing such a thing. But she had learned from Eric that humans are opinionated and are much more compliant when under duress.

Nothing could go wrong with her plan today, Natalie was determined to get a grip on her daughter. She had come here to learn more about Edward and his death – and perhaps a few details about her daughter. However, the fools had assumed that she came for her daughter and triggered her by announcing her daughter was gone.

Do they know what she has sacrificed to give her daughter the perfect and safe life she deserved? She lost twenty-three years of motherhood! The years she could have spent watching her daughter grow into the beautiful woman she was right now. Years that she could never regain! The raw pain tore Natalie from the inside out.

And now, they were telling her that her daughter was... gone?! Someone had to start talking or she might break her promise and start shooting brains.

“So this is how it’s going to be, you are going to tell me where my daughter is and if I detect as much as a lie, your precious daughter would suffer for it. And oh, I’m not killing your daughter right away,”

She chuckled crazily before her lips curved into a cold sneer, “It would be a slow death and as her parents, the both of you would watch, helpless to help as your daughter screams in agony till her light is extinguished forever,” Natalie said with shocking details that made both parents gulp nervously.

“Do you get it?! ” Natalie boomed.

There was no need for words because Claudia’s mother and father were dumb with fear and could only nod their head obediently.

Having made her point, Natalie walked over to the woman, Claudia’s mother. She has been observing the woman and if there was anyone who would give her updates on her daughter’s whereabouts, it was definitely her.

She asked, “So tell me, woman to woman, where is my daughter? No,” She rephrased her question, “What did you do with her?”

Instantly, as if the woman had been waiting for this opportunity to spill everything, Claudia’s mother pointed an accusing finger to her husband,

“It’s not my fault, I promise you, however, he was the one that took out the loans and in turn, Arianna was taken by the loan sharks as payment.” She confessed.

Natalie’s blood chilled the instant she heard those words. “W-what?” she croaked, wishing that she misheard or something.

“I tried to stop my husband but he was desperate to save his company and the loan sharks were getting impatient!” The woman gushed out while Raymond, her husband, stared at her in horror.
