After a few hours, Hunter and the others came back from their mission. However, their faces paint a very bad premonition. They were aware that Rio is in his mansion right now and Ethan went home to take care of Eli along with Master Omni while Sherry was left at the hospital to tend for Stacy"s needs.They needed a week before they totally schedule a bone marrow transplant since Stacy needs to condition her body first for the surgery to go well.
Now, Sophie and Hunter went straight to Rio"s mansion while Larry went to the Williams residence to report what had happened.
"What did you just say?" Ethan, though upset, was trying to control his voice so Eli wouldn"t overhear their conversation.
"Sir, we definitely had the exact location and we even confirmed that the lone villa was owned by Silver. However, when we arrived in there, the place was totally empty. Not even one soldier or a housemaid was seen in the area. Also, we didn"t see any trace of Miss Aisha."
"What!" Ethan punched the wall right next to him madly. He walked back and forth while in deep thought. "How about his other a.s.sets in the city? have you check them all?" he furthered.
"Yes, we did, but to no avail." Larry muttered.
Ethan couldn"t believe his ears. If Rio"s men couldn"t find any trace of Aisha anywhere, then could this mean that something bad might have happened to her? Oh no! he refused to think negatively.
"Thank you Larry, you can go home for now." he sadly uttered while his back was facing the middle age man.
"I understand Sir. I"ll continue to get updates from Hunter and Sophie and will notify you as soon as we have progress then." Then Larry exited.
Ethan caressed his temples. Ah, his having a headache. "Then where are you, Aisha? where are you?" he whispered desperately.
On the other hand, Rio heard Hunter"s report from their mission. Seems like Silver knew they will be searching for Aisha therefore, he moved ahead of them. Dang! he cursed.
As soon as he dismissed his men and his room was empty, he took his phone out and dialed a number. however, seems like the person was playing hard to get by refusing his call twice. But the third time, he answered it.
"Oh h.e.l.lo, brother!" Rio heard a sarcastic blunt tone in the other line. Seems like he was expecting him to call. "I wonder why you called? did you already decide to hand me back my wife?"
"Where"s my daughter? Give me back my daughter this instant!" he displayed a commanding tone.
"Oh brother, just relax. If you want, we can talk about that peacefully." He laughed.
"Silver! I"m warning you…"
"Rio, Rio, Rio… don"t you think you also have something that doesn"t belong to you… or should we say…. Someone instead?"
"You don"t own her either!"
"But she belongs to me."
"I don"t think so, Silver. But that"s up to her, don"t you think the same too?"
"Are you perhaps suggesting that Sherry should choose?"
"I"m glad you understood my point."
"Hhha! Ridiculous! She"s not in her right mind to do that either!"
"Are you sure about that?" Rio smirked. "Your afraid isn"t it? you"re afraid that she won"t choose your side." he spoke more of a challenge.
"Don"t you ever dare me Rio, because you don"t know what I can do to obtain whatever I want."
"Like poisoning my mother?" Rio went serious. "Don"t ever bark at the wrong tree, Silver. I may not have done something about my mom"s death before but if you ever lay your hands on my daughter, then I guarantee you, you"ll witness h.e.l.l get loose!" he uttered murderously.
Silver on the other end was shocked when he heard Rio. Impossible!
He hung up immediately as he leaned his back on his chair. How did Rio know about it? how? He was lost on his thoughts. Did Sherry told him? but she lost his memories again, right? or wait, was everything merely a faux? He clenched his fist in frustration when he realized that Sherry forged her lost memories.
She got me! he punched his table and a few blood trickled from his knuckles.
"Give me back my daughter!" Rio"s demand kept echoing from Silver"s head. "Hmp! Who are you to order me around?" he snorted.
Then he took his phone again and sent Rio a message.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Sherry or Aisha. you can only choose one." As soon as Silver sent the message, he smirked. Then he took the blue file on his desk and reviewed it.
Meanwhile, Rio, who read Silver"s message clenched the phone tightly. He was beyond mad. Just who is he to demand for an option. Rio was so angry that he wanted to kill that man instantly but he needs to get his acts together so he could think wisely.
He doesn"t have the liberty nor the option to choose who he wants to give up among them. If he can, he will definitely save them both. He started to pace back and forth as he gets lost in his thoughts.
"Mr. Sanchez, I want to file a complaint against Silver. Silver Gray." Rio voiced after he dialed his lawyer"s number.
"For Murder." He continued. "Yes, I"ll give you all the details as soon as you have some time."
After a quick discussion, Rio hung up. Then once again, he looked outside the window and heaved a heavy sigh. A warrant of arrest should distract Silver for a while, then he will have more time to search for Aisha.
***
Three hours had pa.s.sed before Sherry decided to go back to Stacy"s room. she spent her time thinking for all the things happening around her recently. She thought that when she gets away from Silver"s grip then everything will be alright--- for her and for her daughters. But it was the opposite. She never thought that it would be this complicated.
And when she disclosed everything that had happen in the past, she thought it would help the situation get a little lighter. But it made it even worst. Did she add fuel on the situation? d.a.m.n! She cursed.
She opened the door to Stacy"s room and found it empty. Seemed like Rio and the others went off already. She sighed. well, guess they need to appease themselves for the meantime since the revelations are too much to take.
As soon as Sherry locked the door, she went straight to where Stacy was, however, she was surprised to see a stunned Stacy while holding a small piece of paper in her hand. Looks like a note was written on it.
"Stacy? Is everything okay?" she asked while she walks towards her. Stacy gazed at her direction with terrified eyes.
"M-mom…" she was trying to control her tears as she hands her the note that she had received earlier. Sherry took the note questioningly. But then, as soon as she read the content, she puffed in horror. No!
"Stacy! Who gave you this?!" Sherry asked immediately.
"I-I don"t know. when I woke up, I found this note beside me. I didn"t see anyone either." She voiced. "Mom, I"m afraid! He found us… he knew where we are! And my sister, ah my poor sister!" her voice was shaking.
Sherry stammered. Then once again, she looked at the note. It says;
"Sherry or Aisha? you have until Friday to decide. If I don"t get your answer before the due date, then expect to see a corpse." And an additional contact number was written at the bottom of the note.
"Erika!" Sherry held her breath in remorse.
