Married

Chapter Twenty-Nine

I trailed behind him into the bedroom we share, leaving Annie in the hall.

"Out with it Heath? What do you really want?" I asked.

"You know me too well dear wife. I want you. You look so good in that outfit."

"I knew it. By the way, you are wearing your gold Rolex watch." I closed the gap between us until I was standing right in front of him.

"Hope that nanny didn't see into my lie. I did well to hide this load in my jeans you know."

My hands were laced around his neck making it easy for him to capture my lips.

"Aww, I love you so much. You taste so good. How come I got this lucky?" He moaned through our kiss.

I had barely gotten out of my third meeting when my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number so I ignored it. It came ringing the second time. There I knew if I didn't answer it the person will keep calling.

"Hello!"

"Ma'am it's me, Annie." I heard the panicked voice of the nanny over the phone. This made me nervous. Why was she calling and why is she snuffling?

"Annie are you alright?"

"I-I-I am fine ma'am. But Ju-Ju-Junior he-he-he is......."

"What is wrong with Junior? Talk to me."

"Ma'am, I am at his school to pick him up but he is not in his class."

"What!" I jolted to my feet.

"What do you mean by he is not in class? Have you asked his teacher?!"

"I have and they also have no idea. They are helping me look for him."

"Okay wait for me there. I will be right there."

Anger ran through me. How can they be so careless? Where would a child who is barely five years go? and that too under their watch. They should pray nothing happens to him. Or else they will regret it. I grabbed my keys and dashed off from my office into the elevator which took me straight to the garage. I had let me assistant cancel all my meeting for the day.

I have never driven this fast in my life. I am sure I will have a lot of tickets to pay soon. Thankfully, I didn't get myself killed because I am not really good at driving. Being one reason my husband doesn't let me drive. I once crashed his car and since then, a chauffeur has been driving me around. In this situation, I needed to regulate the speed I go, more like go at my own speed that's why I didn't let him drive me.

Annie was standing helpless at the entrance of the school. She looked like she had cried a lot and her hair was messy, the only reason being that she has been scratching her head.

"Annie!"

"Thank goodness you are here. We were about to call the cops." I walked with her to the principal office.

"What do you mean you can't find him?! Your school is well known for its discipline, academics, and security. How then did my son go missing with all the surveillance cameras here."

"Mrs. Miller, we are sorry. The teacher is also shocked because she didn't notice when he left the class."

"That is what I am talking about. That teacher is not vigilant enough. That is not an excuse. All I want to know is where my son is? Where did he go?!"

"Relax ma'am. I have asked for the playback of the camera footage. It should be here in a few minutes."

True to her words, the door opened about two minutes later and a young boy walked in with a laptop in his hands.

"Mrs. Taylor, this is the recording you asked for."

"Thanks, Martin. Please play it for us."

He pressed a button then the video started playing. For a while nothing was showing then I saw my son. He was at the playground when someone approached him. It was someone I didn't recognise. What does he want with me son? I watched on as my son was taken away from the scene. I was eagerly waiting to see where they were taking him but the screen went blank.

"What! is that it? Who is that and where did he take my kid?!"

"Mrs. Miller, are you sure you don't know that young man?"

"No, I don't. Where will I know him from?"

"Hmm, then that means Junior is in danger. But who is that man?" Mrs. Taylor said more to herself than to me.

"D-d-don't you have footage that overlook the street? Maybe from there, we can see a car or which direction he took him." Annie who was standing at the corner said.

"I think I can get that. But it's not guaranteed since we have a little problem with that camera."

What the fuck? Is this school a joke? I thought.

He typed something on the laptop and turned it to us as a new video started playing.

Just like the first video, a few minutes passed before we saw the man walking off with my baby. They approached a car and the man opened it and spoke to someone. The person took Junior into the car and hugged him.

"W-W-wait! can you play that back?" I asked, my heart racing at top speed.

"Sure."

He replayed the video and this time, I figured out who it was. I will kill him even if a strand of my baby's hair is missing. You can mess with me but not my son.
