🌀🌀BELLE POV
***
I smiled a bit as i walked back to the nice guy’s house.I feel tired and the thought of trekking back to the house made me feel so much uneasiness.

Oh,I really wanted to ask him for some money to enter a public transport to get to his house quickly but I couldn’t ask him.I wasn’t so heartless!

I knew he didn’t have much money on him right now and I wouldn’t be too wicked to begged him for some when I know,clearly well that he is broke.

But geez! I wasn’t use to this trekking thing…I can’t even remember the last time I trekked. And now,my innocent legs were hurting,I couldn’t even walk well.

I avoided the glances I received mostly by men as I struggled to keep on walking. Ah,finally am almost close.

My smile w¡dened as I thought about that nice guy.Gosh! I don’t even know his name,I think he doesn’t want to tell me but still,he is so nice and charming.

He let me stay without trying to know more if not much about me and am thankful for that. I wouldn’t have known what to reply him with.

Besides,I really need to stay with him for as long as it takes until a miracle happen. I wanted Father to appear and take me back as his daughter to where I belong,to where I should be,to where I came from.

But why does it look so impossible? Yeah,of course it was not possible but I do want it to be possible.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard some footsteps approaching me,I turned back wards only to see four guys who look unfamiliar to me but I could remember one of them – Tripp – the guy who fought with nice guy but what is he doing here?

What are they all doing here? Why are they appraching me??

They look cold and expressionless but Tripp had his smirk on.Suddenly,i heard;

“You bitch!”.It was Tripp voice and before I knew it,he did something Father had only done to me once.

He slapped me!!

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV
***
I got home after coming back from work,I had a gift with me for Belle.It was a loaf of bread,her favorite!

I wanted to thank her for speaking to Boss,for making him refuse the idea of firing me. I can’t even understand how she did it but still,she deserve some thank you from me.

But where is she??

“Belle”.I called but she didn’t answer me which got me confused.

That’s strange! She always answers me when I call her,so what happened this time?

“Belle!”.My voice was louder this time but she didn’t answer me again.

I totally felt afraid now.

“BELLE!!!!!”.My voice was really loud and I felt like my neighbors must have heard it but belle…she didn’t answer me again.

Or is she playing a prank on me?

“Belle,if this is a prank then stop cause it isn’t funny”.

There was no response..

I decided to go check the guest room where she sleeps in but she wasn’t there.I then checked all the places in the house but I didn’t see her.

Damn! I was beginning to panic as I hurried out of the house.For some reasons,i was blaming myself for letting her walk home alone.

What if she was kidnapped or lost? Oh,damn! It was all my fault,yes all my fault.

I quickly ran up to a black man who was busy operating his phone.He turned to me and smiled a bit.

“Hey,buddy! What do you want?”.He asked,still with his smile

“Um..sorry to disturb you but am actually searching for a brunette with some kind of reddish l-ips and dark eyes. Please have you seen her anywhere?”.I said but he shook his head.

“Am sorry to disappoint you,bro but I saw a lot of brunettes today and I can’t remember the one you are talking about”.He said and I nodded,disappointedly.

“It’s okay”.I said and he nodded before walking away. Friendly..

I turned to another man and tap him gently on the shoulder.

“Am sorry to dist…”.The man cut me off angrily.

“Leave me alone,man!”.He yelled,attracting few people’s attention and I scoffed.

“You don’t have to waste your stinking saliva on me,scoundrel”.I snapped and he gasped,clearing surprised.

He probably thought I wouldn’t say anything. How stupid!

Anyway,I need to know if anybody else saw Belle, I shouldn’t waste my time because of a pig.

“Hi”. I said to a white lady who was siting in a car.

“Hi”.She replied,with a confused look on her face.

“Well,am actually searching for a brunette with some kind of pink – reddish l-ips. She is beautiful and was putting on a white top”.I said and the lady blinked twice.

“Oh,that girl!”. She said and a beam crossed my l-ips..

Did she see Belle??

“I saw one in the morning, exactly as you described,she was being harassed by four boys who I heard call themselves the T boys and they finally,left with her”.She said and I gasped,,realizing that they used Belle just to get to me.

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV

***

The only place on my mind to go in search of Belle was Timothy’s house. He was the only person whose house I knew,he do lives his parents.

After taking one last glance at the lady who I really wanted to tell ‘thank you’,I ran to Timothy’s home. Of course,I didn’t care about the way people stared at me as I ran all I cared about that moment was seeing Belle.

I wanted to hug her and tell her how much I missed her,how much I deeply wanna look at those innocent and beautiful eyes of hers.

I couldn’t understand this new feeling but I love the way I felt it. The way I felt it in my heart and my mind but most especially my heart.

I haven’t felt this for anyone before – never!

Before thirty minutes, I got to the house.It was a creamy house with lots of flower pots around it,it didn’t have a gate nor was it fenced but still it looked beautiful.

I knocked on the door waiting to hear the bastard voice but instead,I heard his mum voice from in,side.

“Who is it?”.She said and I heard her footsteps walking closer to the door and as expected,the door knob turned and the door opened instantly.

“Oh,Lincoln! It’s you!”.She said with a surprised expression.

It wasn’t a surprise to me that she knew my name,we were actually close before Timothy ended our friendsh¡p and then,i stopped visiting her. Though,I miss her a lot.

“How are you,ma’am?”.I asked with a fake smile on my l-ips but I couldn’t hide the worry and sadness that echoed in my voice.

“Am fine,Lincoln but I should be asking you that question. Are you fine? You sound troubled”.She asked,a slight worry on her face.

“Am very fine,ma’am. Just that I need to see Timothy,we got some unfinished business that needs to end tonight”.I said,feeling impatient already.

Shit! When will I see Belle? When?? And I can’t even understand why am I feeling this way. Why am I so worried for her?

“Well,I haven’t seen Timothy since morning, he didn’t come back home since he went out.I really hate this attitude of his,he goes out early and come in late.It all started since he became friends with those jerks,I wish he was still your friend Lincoln”.She said and I suddenly felt bad.

Bad that I don’t care about him anymore

Bad that I disliked him so much but he started it all and I must end this madness.

“Do you know where he might be cause I do want to see him real quick”.I asked but she shook her head.

“I don’t know,Lincoln.If I knew,i would have brought him back home but unfortunately I don’t.Still,don’t worry,okay? If he comes back I will tell him to inform you that he is back so that both of you can finish the unfinished business you talked about”.She said and I sighed heavily.

Dammit!!

She don’t know what I mean by the unfinished business and am not willing to tell her. I don’t want her to get worry and shocked about all this. Besides,it will hurt her to know that her son kidnapped someone.

It will shatter her!

“It’s okay,ma’am.I will get going”.I said,about walking away but she stopped me.

“Lincoln please stop calling me ma’am,you can address me as Mrs Flynn”.She said and I smiled,a bit though

“Okay”.

“So,why don’t you join us for dinner? You know it have been years you visited”.She beamed but I refused.

I can’t possibly do that.Belle is in danger,she is with some demons and I can’t eat,I can’t take in anything.

“Thanks Mrs Flynn but I have to go”.I said and walked away,my eyes filled with unshed tears.

I felt so sad…so breathless. I didn’t understand what I was feeling,how I was behaving.

Belle is just a guest,she haven’t even stayed with me for a week then why am i crying like a baby for her.

But I can’t help it,I really wanted to see her again.

****

I finally managed to go to my house but still my steps were slow.It took me almost an hour to get to there.

I touched my w-t cheeks sadly and glanced at the wall clock. The time was 10pm,oh lord! It was late.

How can I find Belle at this time,huh?

Gradually,tears rolled out of my eyes and i began sobbing.Gosh! I shouldn’t have allowed her to go home alone.

I should have given her some money to board a cab but I didn’t cause I didn’t have some cash with me.I seriously need some money.

Ahh,it was all my fault.All my fault!

My sobs continued but was quickly interrupted by the knock on the door.I immediately walked to the door,fisting my fists in anger.

Who dare disturb me at this hour? Or is it the T boys?

I frowned deeply at the last question,ready to attack any of the T boys but as soon as I opened the door,I almost lost balance when I realized that the person who knocked was…BELLE!!
