Billionaire, Let's Divorce! novel Chapter 421

ANASTASIA

“Amie has been abducted.“

Those were words I had never thought I'd hear in my entire life. Even as I searched for Amie in panic before Dennis’ arrival, it never occured to me that she could have been kidnapped. All I thought was that she walked off, lost her way and was somewhere, scared, cold and alone

Turned out my Anie has been taken.

“Why?“ I cried in Dennis' arms, my tears now a heavy unstoppable downpour.

“Why will anyone take my daughter, Dennis, why?“

“I don’t know, babe. You need to calm down.“ He held me as he walked to one of the security.

How can I be calm when someone callous with cold hands and scary eyes has taken my daughter to who knows where? How can I be calm?

He exchanged a very short pleasantry with the two security men.

“I suspect that my daughter has just been kidnapped,“ he began, “Please, can we have access to your footage?“ He then glanced around, “I believe there is CCTV around, yeah?“

“Yes sir,“ one of them answered. “And yes, you can have access, come with me, sir.“

We followed them into a room at the back of the store. And even as we walked through the store, I kept glancing,hoping that Dennis and Clara were wrong.

The team there were quick to bring up the footage around the time I told them I didn't see Amie by my side again.

I wiped the tears that blurred my eyes as I watched the footage of Amie and I talking about Justin not being able to take sweets. Then, I was making the call with Dennis.

As I asked the sales rep about the milk, Amie picked up a cookie bag and frowned at it, then she walked back to the end of the aisle where she picked up another cookie and compared them or something. She looked toward me, about to call out to me when a woman suddenly appeared from behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.

Amie turned to the woman who was now squatted before her. Amie glanced back at me and back to the woman's face, then she smiled and gave the woman her hand.

Then the woman, whose face still backed the camera, took Amie’s hand and they began to walk away. As they moved through the store to the entrance, wherever there was a camera, she'd duck her head.

My body racked with sobs as I watched the woman lead Amie out of the store.

Immediately, the police were contacted. And as they did their job, I cried into Dennis' arms, scared to death.
