Chapter 160: Bringing A Frenemy Home
1490words
He was just irritated at everything, including himself. How on earth couldn't he have noticed that Oliver had untied his hand and got a gun from god knows where before he pulled the trigger at Sapphire.
The asshole was clearly aiming for Andrea. He didn't want to know what disaster would have happened if the bullet had gone through Andrea when he shot.
They were just calm because it is Sapphire and she has a higher chance of surviving something like that than Andrea. He just hopes that she doesn't go into coma since that fucking thing happens every damn time.
He groaned in exasperation once again when his phone vibrated before Doctor Mike's name flashed on the screen.
'This Idiot! I don't fucking want to talk to you, He is probably going to go on and on about Heather and that damn woman can fuck off, I don't need to hear about her what I need right now is to get some good alcohol in my freaking system.
He started driving in the direction of the bar, he took his phone and dialed Alexander's number. He picked up on the third ring.
'How is Sapphire?" He didn't bother with greetings, his voice was clipped, and he feels like he is responsible for all of this, if only he had kept his attention on that damn man.
'She had been admitted to the ER, she would be moved to the operating room shortly, she needed to undergo surgery and was still in critical condition," he replied.
'He had been moved to the store," He said and Alexander hummed before hanging up.
He parked his car in front of a bar and was about to get down when his phone rang, this time it was Nate but he couldn't be bothered to pick up the call.
He got out of the car and his phone buzzed but he ignored it and entered the bar, it was probably Nate and his useless rant.
He sat on the couch and ordered a drink, a woman was immediately at his side, her hands all over him but he didn't even spare her a glance, his drink was brought and he took a sip. The woman was annoying him so he simply glared at her and she was out of his sight at once.
His eyes landed on his phone that was on the table, it buzzed and he saw a message from Nate in the notification bar.
‘Pick up your phone, it is important!!!'
Followed by another message from the same man.
‘Luci and Andrew are in danger! She took him home'
He couldn't see the rest of the message but the bit that he saw enough to set him on his feet. He dropped some cash on the table and was walking towards the door in large and hurried strides.
He bumped into a guy because he was in a hurry and didn't apologize, this seemed to irk the man who immediately grabbed him by the collar.
'Are you blind, Fucker? Can't you use your freaking eyes to look at where you are going?" He snapped in annoyance, glaring straight into Zayn's eyes that had darkened in anger.
'Let go," he said in a quiet but deadly voice but this seemed to anger the man further.
'Not until you use that stinky hole of yours to apologize," he insisted, the bar manager was already at that side.
'Let it go, please. Seems like Mr. Zayn is in a pretty dark mood, he is not usually like this," she added, she had obviously been informed by that call girl of hers.
'I don't want to know about that, I just want him to_"
'Shut up, fucker," Zayn seethed punching the man in anger, he immediately went unconscious, falling to the floor at his feet, the bar manager flinched in shock.
Zayn didn't say anything to the woman, he just hurried to the car and drove off.
This time he was the one that called Mike himself, the man was probably going to inform him about Luci, he couldn't believe that he ignored his calls. The man picked up the call at the first ring.
'What happened?" He asked, increasing his speed as he headed to Alexander's house.
'Sapphire called Miranda to take Amy because Amy was with Andrew and left both Andrew and Andrea to follow you, you probably know that since you are there. But we just found out that the woman who is with us in the cell who we know as Heather Smith is actually Miranda Smith and the woman Sapphire called to stay with Luci and Andrew, who we thought is Miranda Smith is Heather Smith. I can't leave this place because Miranda is so out of it right here. You need to go there right now, we don't know what she would have done to her." He explained. Zayn offered no reply before he hung up the call.
He was in front of the house a bit and practically hurried out of the car and flew into the house, the door wasn't locked so he knew that something was massively wrong.
He entered the living room and didn't see anything, he checked the kitchen and all rooms downstairs but got nothing. He went into Luci's room but didn't get any sign of her nor the kids. He checked the kids' room too but didn't see any sign of the kid nor that of Luci. He was about to get out of the room when he saw that the bathroom was slightly opened.
He hurried there and she found Luci sprawled on the floor, she was unconscious and her hands were tied behind her back.
He hurried towards her and shook her but she didn't budge so he got some water and poured it on her and she woke up, her eyes were tired and unfocused for a bit before they finally focused on him.
It was a big blur to Luci until she was able to focus on him, she shook her head to get herself a bit clearer.
'Zayn," she called him and he nodded, she was able to make out his face clearly now.
'Yes, are you okay?" He asked and she nodded before she touched the back of her head that was paining her.
'Yes, I am alright," she said and he nodded.
'What happened? Where is Andrew?" He asked and she stared at him for a bit before her eyes went frantic.
'Miranda!" Heather exclaimed. 'She took Andrew! I am sure that she took the kids out of this place."
'How was she able to get the kids out with you here?"
'She had managed to drug our drink when she went to get all of us some drinks from the kitchen. The kids already slept and I was feeling sleepy but I was trying to get myself to stay awake, so I went to the bathroom after dropping both Amy and Andrew here. I was trying to get some water on my face to chase away the sleepiness. I suspected that there was foul play going on. I asked what was going on and felt a wave of sleepiness over me and turned to get more water on my face, when I stood straight she hit me on the head with something. She said something about how she is not going to raise him well or something, it wasn't really clear. Is Andrew gone now? Why would Miranda do that? What reason does she have to kidnap Andrew? I am sure we didn't wrong her in one way or the other." Luci started firing out questions in rapid succession.
'Miranda is Heather," he told her simply and she turned to stare at him in shock.
'What? How is that possible?"
'The Heather at the prison is actually Miranda and the one you came home with is Heather impersonating as Miranda."
'H…How is that possible?" Luci asked in disbelief. 'I am not quite getting this."
'I am not to, I didn't believe too much that she is Heather but I rushed here because there could really be danger but after this stunt that she pulled, there is no doubt that she is really Heather Smith," Zayn replied.
'Where is Sapphire?" Luci asked. 'Have she heard?"
'Nope, she isn't hearing it anytime soon too, at least not in the next few hours,"
'Why?"
'Sapphire is at the hospital,"
'Why would she be there? Is Andrea hurt?"
'Nope, Sapphire had been shot by Oliver and is currently undergoing surgery," Zayn answered.
'What?!" She yelled with eyes wide in shock.
