I groaned as I hear my phone ringing, forcing me to wake up. I kinda have an idea of who might be calling at this early hour to have an update on the mansion. He seriously doesn't consider the time differences when it comes to me, he likes to annoy me.

I removed my head from under the pillow, lazily turned around and reached to grab my phone.

"Yes Kyson, everything is going great and it's seven in the freaking morning-"

My ramble was cut short.

"I'm sorry to hear that dear."

At first, I was confused as it wasn't Kyson's voice. I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at the iD. It was an unknown number.

"Who is speaking?" I asked him while furrowing my eyebrows.

"I would be Kyson's father."

My eyes widened slightly and as I turned to sit properly, I fell off the bed landing on my butt making a loud thud. My blanket came with me as it was wrapped around my legs. I held in a groan.

That hurts!

"I'm sorry Sir, I didn't recognise your voice." I apologise, ignoring the pain in my back. I sat on the floor, my arm on the bed's edge.

Shit! Why is he calling me?

"I don't blame you, it's not every day that I call. Anyway, I believe you know Kyson's girlfriend?" He asked me.

"Yes Sir, I do."

"Good, I need you to do me a favour." He started, "I want you to kidnap that girl and bring her to me."

Woah, What!?

"Kidnap her?" I repeated.

"Yes, I asked my son to bring her but he's refusing so I need to take things into my own hands. I want to meet her now in case I don't make it through the next chemo." He explained.

"Does Kyson know that you are kidnapping his girlfriend?" I asked cautiously.

"Of course not, but I'm sure that he'll be fine when she'll be here. Plus he can't kill me." Mr Lucero chuckled.

But he'll kill me!

"I'm sending my jet tonight at 11, get her before that time and accompany her here. Now if you want to bring anyone with you, you can. As a thank-you gift, I'll pay for all your expenses. See you later."

Before I could speak, he hang up.

What the hell!

What am I supposed to do now?

Shit!

"THEO!" I yelled.

It was around 9 am when I heard my doorbell ring. I was already dressed for the day and I was eating a cereal bar near the counter. I walked to the front door and opened it.

"Val?"

"Raelynn," he gave me a nervous smile.

"Is everything okay?" I inquired.

"Yeah, yeah," his nervousness was getting higher.

"Okay, come in."

I moved the side and let him walk inside. I closed the door behind him. We both walked toward the living room.

"So what's up?" I asked him as we stood by the couch.

"I'm here to kidnap you." He blurts out.

I took me a minute to process what he said.

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, Mr Lucero wants me to kidnap you and bring you to him." He elaborated.

Mr Lucero?

"What?" I was so confused.

"Well, he knows that Kyson has a girlfriend now and he wants to meet her but Kyson said no so now Mr Lucero is taking things into his own hands so that he can meet you in case he doesn't make it through the next chemo." He explained.

Woah.

"But Kyson said no, don't you think that there might be a good reason?" I pointed out.

"I'm in no position to think right now, I'm stuck. I can't say no to Mr Lucero and I can't kidnap you because Kyson will kill me." He sighed, running his hand through his hair while his other hand was on his hip.

"But if I come with you willingly, you will be spared from both of them," I added and he nodded.

A warm air feeling came through my stomach as I kept thinking about meeting Kyson's dad.

"What if Kyson get mad that I showed up there?" I asked Val.

"He's not going to be pleased by his father's plan but I doubt that he'll be mad at you." He spoke.

"That's not so assuring," I said.

"I'm sorry but I don't know what else to say." He apologised.

"It's okay it's not your fault," I said as I turned to the side to lean my back against the couch's back.

Should I go?

"Can I ask Kyson if-"

"No, Kyson isn't aware of this and I don't think Mr Lucero wants him to know about this yet. Also, he's sending his jet tonight at 11," Val added.

Well damn...

"Fine, I'll go with you," I agreed.

"Thank you."

"For how many days should I pack?" I inquired.

"Kyson is returning in four days, so I think for four days." He responded.

"Okay."

He left shortly after our conversation. I was still thinking about my decision and if I should go. If only I could called Kyson and asked him about it, it would be so much easier.

I heard my phone ring. I walked to the counter and pick it up.

"Hello,"

"Hey, where are you? Are you even coming today?" Ryker spoke.

"I don't think I will be able to make it today," I replied.

"Thanks for telling me in advance," he said sarcastically.

"Sorry, something came up," I apologised.

"Ok, see ya tomorrow."

"Wait, I think I'm going out of town for a few days," I told him.

"Ok," It was the fastest and happiest 'ok' that I ever got from him.

"Geez brother," I commented.

"Can I borrow your house for two days?" He inquired making me raise an eyebrow.

"My house, for two days?" I repeated.

"Yes,"

"May I ask why?"

"You may. I'm taking Natalie on a date." He replied briefly.

"Okay, and why do you need my house-oh eww." I stopped when I understood what he meant.

He laughed.

"Can i?" He asked.

Ughhh.
