Chapter 24 Aaron is missing

What happened Yaya? Did you lose him at school? Aaron's yaya was stammering, at the same time crying and confused.... The guard said that a man in his thirties showed his ID that he is Aaron's uncle. He was carrying with him a signed letter from you to release Aaron to him.

I did not issue any authorization, that was fake.

Ari called his friend and buddy General Mar Reyes and asked help to find Aaron.

Right after the call, a surveillance team was deployed to the school, interviewing parents and students.

Ari contacted Cherry and let her know that their son was missing. Fortunately, Cherry was in Manila, she was able to go to the police station right away to check the CCTV from school. The guy knows where the camera was, he avoids showing his face. He wore a baseball hat and covered his face with a red bandana handkerchief. He stands maybe 5'7 feet tall, brown skin with stout physique. He was looking around the surrounding then he approached the security guard and present a letter and his ID. Then, in the next frame, he was seen holding Aaron on his right hand exiting the school.

The moment Cherry saw the blurry face of the kidnapper, she kept quiet.

General Reyes caught that expression on her face.

Do you know the kidnapper? Gen Mar asked Cherry. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

No, Sir I haven't seen that guy in my life. Cherry responded.

Okay then, you can go home. Don't leave the country, I may have to call you any day from now.

Yes Sir! Cherry responded. Then she left the police station.

Ari how well do you know the mother of your son. Gen Reyes asks Ari.

Not much Mar. We dated in the past then she got pregnant. I was then engaged to be married to Hannah when she showed up and claimed that she was pregnant with my child. The rest is history, as you know what happened next.

I will dig in some information about Cherry. I have a bad feeling about this Ari. I hope I am wrong.

If your suspicion is correct and Cherry was part of this, God helps me. I will kill that woman, for ruining my life.

Calm down Ari, we will get to the bottom of this case. I will set up a team to watch you, your house, office and staff. This might be an inside job. I need you to stay focused, think of someone you had an altercation with or differences in business dealings, discontented employee or business colleague that you offended lately. We have to cover all the bases. For the meantime, wait for the kidnapper's call. He might release your son for ransom money.

Meanwhile, Hannah was wondering why Ari is not calling her. It's been two days since the last call and texts.

I hope he is alright.

On the third day, Ari decided to call Hannah and told her about Aaron's kidnapping.

Just be calm Ari, as soon as I am done here, I will join you in Tarlac. We will wait together for that call. I will let you know when to expect me.

Thank you Hannah. I don't want to bother you but I need you so badly. I will ask Mar if you will be safe here.

Okay, let me know. Take care of yourself! Hannah said.

It's now the fifth day, no calls, no ransom note....who is this guy? What does he want from me? I didn't know that I have enemies. I am good to my employees, my friends, and business colleagues. What is really going on?

Relax Ari, don't think too much.

Hannah, whatever happened I wanted to let you know that I love you very much.

I love you too Ari, I already decided to give you another chance. Wait for me.

I will wait for you but I need to talk to Mar first for your safety.

Okay then.

Ari called General Mar...Mar, Hannah is coming over to help and comfort me, do you think it is safe for her to come? Until now, we did not received any word from the kidnapper. Is this about me? I don't want to endanger Hannah's presence here.

Gen Mar Reyes responded, let Hannah come, I will have a bodyguard assigned to her and to you. I am making progress with my investigation about Cherry, her husband and associates. My team was able to identify witnesses and they started to talk. I will call you if I have solid evidence. Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this. By the way, I believe that your son is still alive.

Thank you, my friend. I am so relieve to know that my son is still alive. I can always rely on you.
