“I got it. It could be Emilia calling about Willow,” I worried as I finally got my hand on my cell and pulled it out.
The number flashing up was unknown, so I worried it had to be Tyler, and answered in a hurry, praying Willow was okay.
Just as I was answering, Nico’s cell started to ring too, but I was so worried about Willow I ignored what ever he was doing and answered the call.
“Hello, Tyler?” I gasped.
“Guess again, Madeline, dearest.” My blood ran cold at the sound of that voice.
“How did you get this number?” I asked. Hunter had given me a new cell just after I arrived there with the guys, and I had cancelled my old one, Nico just keeping it now in case we ever needed Edward’s threatening and abusive texts, which were still on it, for evidence.
“Tyler? Is he the boy toy of yours who had our daughter?” he asked and I turned to look at Nico with horror. “You really are a whore, aren’t you? Shacked up with four men, and another taking care of your child?”
“Maddie, put it on speaker,” Nico whispered as he hung up the call he was on and moved over to me. My hands were shaking as I put the call onto loud speaker and handed the phone to Nico.
“What do you want Edward? You…You have to stay away from me. I have a restraining order,” I said shakily.
“And we had a deal. You didn’t stick to it, so now I’m not going to either,” he spat angrily.
“What? What are you talking about?” I cried as I looked up to Nico again. He wrapped his arm around me in comfort.
“My father found himself being investigated by the FBI this week. I think you might know a little something about that,” he hissed.
“Edward, no. I swear, it had nothing to do with me,” I cried.
“LIAR!” he roared. “He’s dead, Madeline. My father shot himself and it’s all your fucking doing. You took him from me! Now I’m going to take something from you!”
“Edward…”
“Say hi to mommy, you little brat!” Edward said, then there was some scuffling sounds before I heard my child.
“Mommy!” she screamed, followed by sobbing, and my heart beat out of my chest in fear as my blood ran cold.
“Willow, I’m here, peanut!” I sobbed.
“I warned you not to fuck with me, you stupid bitch!” Edward raged.
“Edward, please. She’s your child. Just let her go!” I cried.
“You’ll never see her again. I hope it was worth it, you whore!” With those hate filled words the call ended.
“Oh God! Nico!” I sobbed as I tried to make my brain think straight. “We have to get her back. He’s going to hurt her!”
“He grabbed her at the park. Someone lit a trashcan on fire to distract everyone. Mia looked away for a second and she was gone,” Nico explained and I realized Emilia must have been on the call he took.
“What do we do?” I cried as I fought to keep it together. I didn’t have time to fall apart. I had to get my daughter back.
“Wake the others. I need to call my team,” Nico said, adopting the persona I had seen him use when he was in business mode.
I nodded and ran from the room. I went straight to the room next door, where I found Hunter and Kai asleep in the twin beds in there. I slammed on the lights in the dimly lit room.
“Guys, wake up!” I yelled, then I was running back down the hall to find Cam.
“Maddie, what’s going on?” Hunter asked as he came running after me. I made it into the small living room where Cam had been sleeping on the sofa, but all of the commotion had him waking up already. He sat up and looked around, just as Kai followed Hunter into the room too.
“Edward called me. He took Willow!” I cried as I fought not to break. I looked between them as I went on, “He said the FBI were investigating Frank, and Frank killed himself. Edward thinks it’s my fault. He t-took Willow for revenge.”
“Fuck!” Kai cursed.
