Chapter 49: WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND HER

The monitoring room had six large computers with a single keyboard and mouse. There were two red dots on the screen. One was inside the mansion, which was Cielo's and the other one was somewhere outside the city which was Jillyanna's.

"Savannah told me that several people rushed towards Jillyanna at the cemetery. When she looked for her, she was no where to be found. There's only her left shoe on the ground which made her think she was kidnapped." Travis summarized the events to them so that they would get an idea as to what initially happened.

"I received an alert during lunch break but we cannot report her as missing if it's not beyond the 24-hour mark. I believe her phone was thrown away." as he spoke to them, he enlarged the area where the signal stopped.

It was a vast forest outside the city which would lead them to suburban place called Independencia. There were few inhabitants in that place but most of them were well-known people in politics and medicine. It was a second-tier class when it comes to societal hierarchy after the businessmen in the city.

"You have to find her as soon as possible! You can't let anything to happen to her again!" Cielo warned Lucian with a glare and a pinch on his waist.

"I know. I promise. I will make sure to get her on time." Lucian answered while getting ready to find Jillyanna after marking the places that she's probably in.

"Wait, this place seems familiar." Lucian mentioned while trying to think of a clue or link to the place but there was none.

Travis who remained silent while watching the monitors spoke to them, "Did something happen to her in the past?" He wasn't looking at them but his gaze was fixed on the red dot that kept on blinking.

Lucian recalled to him what happened 3 years ago which was the reason why they made this monitoring room and placed a special tracking device on her.

It's not because they didn't trust Jillyanna's capability but because Jillyanna would ruin everything that they have if she's gone. They can't afford to lose her. She's their missing link that keeps them intact, without her, their world will start to crumble.

Jillyanna wasn't weak either. She's strong and smart woman so they knew they'd be able to find her soon with a little bit of time from her side.

"We still have one chance to find her." Travis spoke with a little bit of hope, but thinking how much she hates him, his hope was depleting like a balloon being pricked with needle.

Lucian and Cielo looked at him with questioning gaze. So he continued speaking, "The last gift I gave her has a tracking device. Just like what you put on her phone, that device will activate once she placed it on her wrist using her pulse. However, it had been silent for weeks now. I don't think she'll wear it in such situation."

"Was it the red-strapped bracelet?" Cielo asked with a bit of hope as well. Travis nodded his head and right after that, Cielo ran to Jillyanna's room to check if she left it or if she brought it with her.

"None!" she whispered to herself after checking her bedside drawer. "None." she mumbled again after finding that her favorite bag was no where to be found. She pulled out her phone and called Jenny who was currently cooking at home.

"Hi sister Cielo, do you need something?" Jenny greeted her after turning off the stove.

"Where are you now? Can you check Jillyanna's house? I need you to find a bracelet? It has a red strapped and heart shaped stone." Cielo stated quickly while running back to the basement.

Jenny was silent for a moment while trying to form her words. After a while, her soft and confused voice came through the phone's speaker, "Big sis asked me last time to get it in her apartment. She told me that she's going to return it to the owner. Is there a problem with it?"

"You mean it's with her?"

"Well yeah. That's if she didn't leave her bag."

"Okay. Thank you so much for your help." Cielo hang up and approached Travis. "Can you ask Savannah if Jillyanna was bringing a bag with her?"

Travis didn't wait for more details. He contacted Savannah right in front of them to ask about Jillyanna's bag. It was confirmed that she did bring her bag but they haven't found it which was a great news!

"Let's go the location of the tracking device for now. If we find more clues, it would take us less time to go wherever she is right now." Travis stated and Lucian agreed immediately. It's better if they have more men than him looking for her alone.

Travis dispatched his men to check on all the possible areas near the marked signal to find Jillyanna. Brown and Valkyrie led their men to a different place, Savannah and Hawk had their own area to check and Travis came with Lucian.

They first visited the forest to find where the phone was thrown out. Lucian and Travis had some gloves on while looking for the phone. Some police officers who were supposedly on day off, came to help him as well.

Soon, many onlookers and passersby stopped to see what's going on. They were curious to see what happened and dismayed when they saw them getting a phone back.

"What's the matter with police officers now? Dispatching so many people for a phone?" complained one of the men who stopped from cycling to look over them.

"It should be a piece of evidence! Why else would they try their best to find it." another man exclaimed which was actually right.

The crowd started dispersing from the place. A black van stopped and a handsome man came down and walked towards them.

"Mr. Police officer, what's going on here?" he asked with curiosity while looking attentively to the cellphone inside the sealed plastic bag.

Lucian turned to him before answering. "A woman was kidnapped and the tracking device stopped here. We found her phone but we don't know where she is yet."

"That's really sad. I hope she's fine." he stated with an innocent face.

"We all hope, too." Lucian responded to him. The man asked few more questions before leaving, promising to report any suspicious activity in the area.

When he got inside his car, his eyes were cold and a sinister smile formed on his lips.

"Elizabeth! Oh! Elizabeth! Why must you go in her place? Why did you use her car? Why? Can't you see how lonely I am now? I miss your smiles, your cheerful laughter, your frowns, your frustrations and your other expressions. Ouch! My heart is breaking in pieces again! This happens everytime I think of you, my Elizabeth!" He was lying on his bed with one of his hands covering his eyes. You can't really see any expressions on his face or in his eyes. He was like a robot having his monologue.

The man looked neat and handsome. He's rather young for his 40-year-old self, more like early thirties with his younger-looking face.

On his bedside table was a picture of him and two other women. One of the women was crossed with a marker but you can still see her smile with only the lips showing.

It was a picture of their college days, the happiest time and the saddest time of his life.

"You must have seen your daughter, right?" slowly, a sweet smile appeared on his lips and a glint of joy flashed across his eyes. "She has grown into a beautiful woman. She looks exactly like you when you were young. Beautiful and carefree! I shouldn't let anyone taint her like what happened to you!" he abruptly sat up on his bed and his joy turned into malice.

He started following Jillyanna when she was in middle school but he would just stand from a far, looking at the beautiful young girl. Sometimes, she would walk home by herself or with Cielo and Lucian.

One time, he approached Jillyanna. "Hello little girl. Do you remember me?" he asked Jillyanna who looked at him before shaking her head. "You forgot me already? That's fine." he smiled at her and rubbed the top of her head which made her flinch a bit.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing?" It was the little boy named Lucian. He was more of a brother to Jillyanna so he didn't put his guard on him.

Jillyanna ran and hid behind Lucian as if her knight came to save her. "Bro, he touched my head. I didn't think he is bad cause he looks familiar to me."

"Familiar? Is he one of your stinking relatives?" Lucian asked in anger but his gaze never left from the man in front of him. He knew that Jillyanna wasn't loved by her relatives - just her money.

"I don't know. I might be mistaken." Jillyanna's soft and small voice came from behind him. Lucian was even looking more fierce than ever while watching the man cautiously.

Suddenly, the man in front of him chuckled faintly. "You don't have to be so ferocious. I am not a bad person. You can call a police if you want."

This statement made Lucian lower his defense. A criminal won't ask for a police so definitely, the man in front of him wasn't a bad person.

"Just stop approaching our little Yanna. I will call a police next time." Lucian said before leaving, holding Jillyanna closed to him to protect her. They still have to wait for the other girl named Cielo.

"Oh my! What a soft hair she got. It feels just like yours whenever I got to touch it during our hugs." the man whispered while his eyes followed the back of a little girl.

After so many years, he witnessed how beautiful Jillyanna grew up and over the years, his love and care for her increased.

When she left the country after graduating, he was devastated. The woman she protected in the shadows left without knowing him.

"My Elizabeth, why did you leave me again? Will you be coming back? I want to hug you just like in the past. Oh! Elizabeth! My Elizabeth! Stop breaking my heart!" His cries echoed through the whole house. The sound could make anyone feel pity for him. Soon, his cries turn to maniacal laughters. Then, he kissed the photo of a woman, from the younger version to the current one.

"You belong to me, body and soul!" It took him almost half an hour to kiss a dozen of stacked photos. "Your lips must be sweet. How wonderful!" He licked his lips and put down the last picture before taking a different picture. It was a bigger size of the ones on his bedside table.

He stabbed the woman on the left side with a kitchen knife that he kept under his pillow. "It was all your fault! I lost her because of you! It was all your fault! Your fault! You bitch! Just die!" He stabbed it more than ten times when realization hit her. "Oh, you died already. Did you feel guilty and just resort to suicide? You should feel guilty!" He stabbed it twice more and threw it on the ground.

The mess inside his room was opposite to how the house and other parts of the house looked. It was the only place littered with so many pictures, broken frames, knives and ruined pillows.

The man stared at the wedding photo. It was him and Elizabeth having their wedding. Their smiles were contagious and anyone who would see it would smile, too.

The picture was placed on the wall facing his bed. It was a very large size, occupying half of the wall and on its side were smaller photos with different poses but same wedding theme.

"I will wait for you." he whispered with a faint smile.

Even though he knew that she left, he would always visit the house and check if she's home. Everyday, he would sit on a cobble stone few meters away from the house. He would only leave the place after half an hour.

This became a habit and he was never tired of doing it.

After a year of doing it, he was elated from so much happiness. The woman he was looking for was finally home.

He remembered the texture of her hair and the sweetness of her smile. "I want to hear her cry when she's under me. Ain't that exciting? Ahh, those eyes must only look at me. Elizabeth! My dear Elizabeth! Come and see me."

He was watching her from his car while she watered the plants on the garden. His hand moved faster and faster until hot and white stuff came out.

"Next time, I will come and get you."
