Clarification
While Adira was waiting for Sebastian, she tried to talk to Carina, but she wouldn’t leave her spot in the dark part of the room.
“Any guess who gave the order to take you and your son?”
Carina was just looking straight in another direction. “I can’t imagine who would be so heartless as to do this to me and my son.”
“Do you have enemies?”
“I don’t tend to fight with other people, even if they hurt me.”
Adira stopped for a moment and seemed to be thinking of her next question for Carina.
“Maybe your husband has one, or maybe he has another woman?” She pretended to be ignorant of her question.
Carina turned slightly toward her. “What does my husband’s other woman have to do with what happened to us today? You are the one who knows that because you are the one who ordered this.”
She nodded because Carina was right. “Are you and your husband okay?” She’s trying to get an answer from Carina because it seems that what she wants to happen to her and Sebastian is different now than before and that it’s okay for them to be together and married as long as she has her child.
“He’s okay with being at home, but not as a husband.”
She frowned. “Why did you say that?”
Carina sighed, and tears were forming in her eyes. “I tried to ask him every time he goes home to know how things are going, even though he ignores me every time he comes home. I’m like a piece of a thing that’s on the side and almost goes unnoticed. Yes, he’s good and takes care of our son, but that’s it. It’s tiring because I’m trying to ignite the fuel in the wood, but I still don’t want to, because my fire is useless if the wood is bathed in water.”
In her mind, “the depth of what Carina is saying.”
“Maybe my body gave up because it was tired, but my heart didn’t. I also can’t read what Sebastian is thinking every time he comes home because we don’t talk often.”
“Or he already loves you, but you just can’t feel it because you’re used to him ignoring you and showing you signs of love.”
Carina smiled bitterly. “If that happens, maybe it means I’m already numb because I can’t feel what I wanted to feel before.”
She grabbed the fake gun again because she heard the sound of the car’s engine, and it looked like Sebastian. “Your husband is here.” Carina didn’t answer and was just dumbfounded by the silence.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was just looking at the warehouse, but suddenly his phone rang.
“Hello!”
“What are you doing out there? Go inside and start looking for Carina.”
After the phone call disappeared, Sebastian immediately pocketed his phone and walked into the warehouse. He went to several rooms, but there was no Carina inside. In the last room, he was nervous as he entered because it was so dark.
“Carina!” Sebastian called.
Carina, on the other hand, came to her senses and started making noise. “Sebastian, I’m here!” she shouted.
Sebastian’s eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness, and Carina was reflected in the chair. He quickly approached Carina and didn’t notice that they had someone else inside, and that was Adira.
“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked while holding Carina’s cheek. His eyes were red and restless as he asked.
“Sander, they took Sander!” Carina cried again.
“Shhh! I’ll find him; I have to get you out of here first.” Sebastian immediately removed the rope from Carina’s hands and feet. He lifted it to stand and was ready to leave when Adira spoke.
“Where are you planning to go?” while the fake gun was pointed at both of them.
Sebastian slightly pushed Carina behind him. “Are you the one I talked to on the phone?”
“Yes, I am,” she answered.
“Who are you, and what did we do to you? Where is my son?” Sebastian said angrily.
She smiled at what he said. “Your child? Why are you the one who carried him for nine months inside your tummy to say that he is your only child?”
“Can you please not involve my family? Where is Sander? Get him out!”
She looked at Carina and said, “The plane will leave me even more if I make it last longer.” As the moonlight disappeared from the window, she immediately ran and pulled Carina away from Sebastian.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was surprised when he felt what Adira did. When he turned around, he saw Adira’s gun pointed at Carina’s head.
“We will see where your courage brings you, Sebastian. ” She brought the tip of the fake gun even closer to Carina’s head.
“Wait!” while Sebastian’s hand was still raised. “Don’t hurt her.”
“Why? You don’t seem to care about your wife, even though you want to get her out of here. You have already claimed to be the only parents of the child,” she said sarcastically.
Sebastian looked at Carina before entering her. “What else am I doing here if I don’t care?” he answered with a frown.
“You were just worried because your name was already mentioned, so maybe you won’t cry if I take this wife of yours and return your child to you.” She stared into Sebastian’s eyes because he took so long to answer. His eyes are also shining because of the forming tears.
“Please! I won’t choose anyone because I will save them both.”
She raised her eyebrows. “What about Sebastian? What can you do if you only brought yourself here?” Her eyes widened slightly as Sebastian kneeled on the dirty floor.
“I’m sorry, just let us get out of here.” In a voice that was crying out of pity.
She couldn’t understand herself, and her eyes got teary while looking at Sebastian. She doesn’t know if she felt pity or if her heart just felt that he was asking for mercy for his wife and his son.
She tightened her grip on the fake gun and pretended to pull the trigger. Sebastian immediately got worried and stood up, but what she didn’t expect was that he quickly ran towards Carina and her, and tried to grab the gun she was holding. Carina walked away while Sebastian and she were fighting over the fake gun. He was so strong that her palms were almost red from the tightness of his grip on the gun, but in the end, he still got it and pointed it at her.
“Don’t move or else-” in Sebastian’s breathless voice.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She laughed softly. “What are you planning to do with the gun you’re holding?”
“Yes, if you come near Carina and me again.”
She folded her arms and looked seriously into Sebastian’s eyes. “But before you use that. I just want to know something.”
“What?!”
“Do you love your wife?”
Sebastian was stunned and simply looked at Carina’s behind. “What kind of question is that?”
“What do you want to hear from me? How much money do I need to let you go, like that?” He didn’t answer. “My question is simple. Why is it so hard for you to answer?”
She saw him clench his fist, and she grinned. “I don’t have time for you to think too long, Sebastian. Just answer my question.”
He smiled sarcastically. “I can’t answer your question.”
She saw Carina stunned by Sebastian’s answer. “And why?”
“I’m not reading a romantic novel to let her know if I love her or not. I’m doing it the way I want; I can’t even say it, but I’ll make her feel that. It’s up to Carina to decide whether she feels that way or not.”
She frowned. “This couple is a mess,” she whispered, looking at Carina. “How can that be, Carina? The answer is up to you if you like his way of loving. Try to talk first, not the one who will turn to the ice again if one of you doesn’t feel the warmth.” She walked a few steps away from them.
“I’m leaving; it’s up to you and your wife to talk about; that’s your problem; I was just ordered. Your son is in good hands, so don’t worry.” She looked into Carina’s eyes. “We met again, but now I can say that your family will be happy. I’m sorry if I’m here again, but someone is concerned about the relationship between the two of you, so I entered the scene. I know what I did was wrong, but I’m not the one you should blame because the one who planned it was Sebastian’s mother.”
Sebastian frowned. “My mother?”
She nodded and smiled. “Put down the gun you’re holding, because no matter what you do, I will never die.”
Sebastian put down the fake gun and examined it; he just blew out the air because he was not holding a real gun.
“I will leave now; this is the last time we’ll see each other, Carina.”
Before leaving, Adira winked at Carina because she only had an hour to go to the airport.
