Clark groans as he hears noises outside.
He slowly opens his eyes and stared at the wall for a few minutes until he remembered what he did last night.
He covers his face as he sighs.
'I should apologize to her,' he thought while getting up.
He looks at the open door of his room, thinking who are in his condominium this early making that noise.
He already has a thought that it might be Dan or Sheen so he did not hurry nor got suspicious since only three people know his password.
He went out immediately and saw a lot of people, including Sheen and Dan.
Even Kady is inside his condominium.
He furrows his forehead and went down, "What is this about? Why are you here?" he asks.
Everyone looks at him.
Dan has a sharp look in his face.
Bea bitterly rolls her eyes.
Kady and Wyn sigh.
And Sheen, she's frowning.
"What is happening, Sheen?"
His eyes landed on the police and he suddenly felt shivers, "Where is Cj?"
This isn't the first time police went in his place.
The last time was when Cj went missing and was kidnapped.
"He's taken again?" Clark asks and called Mr. Rogers which might be waiting at the parking lot already.
"What do you mean 'again'? Was he kidnapped before?" Bea asks.
Clark nods as Mr. Rogers arrives.
"Yes, unfortunately, Cj was kidnapped when he was 3 years old. Clark just left him here to get something in his room and when he went back, Cj's gone. The kidnapper's in jail now, but he might have a connection with the one who took him now," Dan said as he gave the information about the past kidnapper of Cj to the police.
"Why didn'y you told us that earlier?" Bea folds her arms close to her chest then she squinted her eyes at Dan.
"Because we already have a suspect and I only remembered it now," Dan apologetically smiles at his fiancee.
"Okay, Mr. Rogers will check all the surveillance footage that might capture Cj," Clark has a sullen look at his face.
"Can we get a photo of the kid?" The police ask.
"Sheen, get a photo of him in his room," Clark said in a faint voice.
He seems like he's not suffering from a hangover but it bothers her that Clark looks like he's used to this things.
He's very calm that it makes her get more nervous.
She immediately went upstairs and check Cj's room.
She suddenly felt her chest grew heavy while thinking how Cj might have asked for someone to help him when he was being taken away.
He might've called her.
It breaks her heart that a sweet young boy has to endure such crimes just because of the people's lust for money.
A photo caught her eye on Cj's desk.
It's a photo of him and Clark.
She smiled while looking at Cj.
He's holding a cotton candy in his hands, this seems to be taken at the amusement park.
Clark always has that stern face but you can say that he's enjoying.
She was about to take it but she noticed a date behind the picture.
It seems to be written by Cj with that asymmetrical letters.
"September XX, XXXXX, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!" It said.
She suddenly froze, it's the date today.
It's Cj's birthday and he's kidnapped.
She bites her lips, trying to maintain her emotions but she wants to cry.
"Are you done? Have you seen a photo?" Clark appears at the door.
He's surprised to see Sheen make such sad face while holding a picture of him and Cj.
"Oh, that should work, let's go down. We already have a lead," Clark turns around to go down but Sheen called him.
"It's Cj's birthday, Clark, I think you forgot about it," she said and walks to him and gave him the picture.
Clark looks at Sheen with a confused expression.
"What happened last night? Why did you drink? You're with a kid, Clark. You shouldn't be irresponsible," Sheen whispers.
Clark looks at the photo and his eyes went wide, yes, he forgot.
He brushed his hair irritatedly.
His expression hardened while his jaw slacks.
"You forgot," Sheen scowls.
"Well, I just had a misunderstanding with him. I didn't know that it's his birthday today which might have made him get angry easily last night," Clark remembers Cj's words: "I hate you! I hate you! You're always busy and you don't want me to disturb you!"
He sighs and a heavyweight suddenly falls in his shoulders.
It might also be the reason why Cj didn't even try to fight back.
Even if he's just a kid, he's good in taekwondo, and even if he's against adults, he can call for help or yell.
"I have to find that kid," Clark said and ran downstairs.
It breaks Sheen's heart to see Clark forget about his son's birthday.
He's a busy man, but forgetting about a child's birthday is the worst.
"Well, what can you say, Cj? I'm a great aunt, aren't I? I didn't tie you in a chair or put a blindfold as a normal kidnapper would do, instead, you are sitting here in my entertainment agency like a normal guest," Dona said while polishing her nails.
There are a lot of men around them, and it doesn't feel like he's a guest, he wasn't able to sleep all night because of his aunt's chattering about his father.
"So what does your dad like in a woman?" Dona smiles at him and took a glass of wine.
"Definitely not a woman like you," Cj sticks out his tongue.
He's not feeling well because he's sleepy and also because he hates his dad.
He just shouted at him last night because he didn't tell him about Sheen since he was busy.
And his father always told him to leave him alone when he's doing something, not a nice thing to say from a father.
He folded his arms and pouts.
He's sleepy but if he suddenly dozes off, he might be taken to another place where he doesn't know.
Dona slams the table with her hand, "Tell me who Sheen is, Cj! I have a feeling like something's going on between them!"
Dona suddenly remembered the woman that appeared the other day while she was trying to lure Cj into her den.
Her eyes are full of jealousy.
Cj stares at her for a while until a thought struck him.
"What if you just call her and ask. Maybe you can get a ransom from her too, she's a writer- a well-known writer. I'm sure she has a lot of money," Cj smiles.
Dona raises her right eyebrow, "What are you planning, Cj? Do you think I will fall for that?"
Cj frowns and pouts, making him look like he's being bullied, "What do you mean? I'm just saying, Sheen's my mommy and I'm sure she'll give yo--"
"Mommy? What do you mean? Is she Mr. White's wife? Mistress? What?" Dona's mouth twitches.
"Well, he's my mommy. And Daddy likes her, I think they'll get married someday," Cj sighs.
He just remembered that it's his birthday which made him more irritated.
After throwing a tantrum last night because his father seems to forget his birthday, he himself, forgot about it too due to feeling bad.
"Married? No! I should be the one who will get married to Mr. White! That wench!"
Cj covers his ears, Dona's voice is thunderous and it makes his ears hurt.
"Give me the number! I will call her and ask for ransom for you and to scare her away, give me the number of that woman!" Dona gave her phone to Cj.
"Okay," Cj raises his shoulders to show it doesn't bother him.
Dona looks so angry about Sheen that Cj tries to hide his laugh.
'She's so stupid!' he thought.
"Just call her name, maybe she'll think it's for Dad and she'll give it to him, so be particular and she'll know she's the one you want to talk to," Cj fakes his frown and put on the number.
Dona raises her eyebrow and took the phone.
She immediately dials, 'You wench, you can't take what's mine!' she thought.
A phone suddenly rings, everyone in the living room looks at each other.
"That's his phone," Clark said and went upstairs.
They are talking about how to ambush Dona and Mrs. Corsilla.
Even though it's still not a hundred percent sure, they have seen the footages of last night's car which took Cj.
It went to the entertainment agency that Dona is working for.
Dan, Kady and Wyn's bodyguard are on their way to the entertainment agency while waiting for the plan of Clark and Wyn with the police.
After learning that it's Cj's birthday, Bea decided to make a small party for Cj if ever he returns today.
Sheen is just sitting beside Bea who's calling her friend who's an event organizer.
"Sheen," Clark whispers while giving her Cj's phone, "Keep the call longer."
Sheen took the phone which is on call while looking at Clark.
Mr. Roger's suddenly took out an Ipad and Clark looks at it like he's trying to figure out something.
"Yes?" Sheen said.
"Well, well, well, it's the wench."
Sheen froze, it's the same voice of the kidnapper who called yesterday which seems to be Dona.
"What do you want?" Sheen irritatedly asks.
She hates these kind of people.
Those who use others for their benefit.
Bea turned off her call and looks at Sheen.
"Well, aside from the 900 million from Mr. White, I want 500 million from you and stay away from Mr. White, or else I will definitely send this kid to this coffin."
Sheen clicked her tongue, "What are you saying? The deal yesterday was to only give you 900 million. And where do you think I will get that 500 million?"
The police officers gather around Clark while looking at the screen's tablet.
"Every phone call Sir Cj makes registers the location of the caller, we installed it after he was kidnapped before and he's told that he should call his number if anything happens and it's recorded," Mr. Rogers explained.
"So, it's in the entertainment agency of Miss Dona Hale, right?" Police clarify.
"Yes, specifically, in her dressing room," Mr. Rogers nods.
Wyn called Dan to tell him that Dona's with Clark.
"Please wait for the police," Wyn said before turning off the call.
"I'm sorry but the plan changed, 900 plus 500... how much is that?" Dona whispers at Cj but she can still be heard by the other line.
Sheen sighs, 'She's so stupid,' she thought.
"Yes, yes," Dona nods with Cj's answers, "1 Billion and four hundred million, I need that or the kid's dead."
The police received a call saying that they already have Mrs. Corsilla at the station.
"Okay, you'll have it tonight," Sheen said since they already have located where the Dona is she doesn't want to talk with her anymore.
"But can I have a talk with Cj?" Sheen frowns.
"No, remember what I told you. 8 P.M. and stay away from Mr. White."
"What if I don't?" Sheen felt irritated by Dona asking her to stay away from Mr. White.
What's the connection of kidnapping for ransom with staying with Clark?
"You! What is your relationship with Mr.White? Huh? Tell me b*tch!" Dona shouted, almost deafening Sheen.
"Well," Sheen softly replies, "He's someone important."
She tries to suppress her smiles but Clark and Bea saw her expression, making them curious about who she is talking about.
"Anyways, the deal will be done. But I don't guarantee what you are personally asking for me."
Cj laughs while looking at his annoyed aunt's face.
Dona sharply looks at him and turned off the call.
"That woman..." she whispers.
Sheen took a deep breath and gave Mr. Rogers the phone.
Clark wanted to ask what were they talking about but knowing Sheen, she will tell him if it's important.
He went to his room and changed his clothes since they are to go to the entertainment agency to get Cj.
Bea said that she'll stay to help with the party.
Sheen follows Clark with Wyn, "Sheen, you can stay here and rest. We will be fine," Wyn said.
Sheen shakes her head, "No, I will go with you. I have to see Cj."
Clark looks at Sheen, she's so worried about Cj that it makes him feel like he's not even a father.
He never made such a sad and worried face.
Since he grew up alone, he thinks that Cj will be able to survive anything alone too.
But he's a child who has his father with him.
Unlike Clark who grew up with his father who's always away.
He even forgot his son's birthday.
"Sheen, what... if he hates me? What if.. he doesn't want to see me because I'm too busy with myself that I forgot that I have a kid which his birthday I forgot?" Clark whispers as Wyn gets in the car.
Sheen smiled, "You're a great dad. You're doing everything for him. He might not realize it now, but sooner or later, he'll know. Even if you're busy, you're trying to keep him beside you."
Sheen held Clark's hand unconciously.
Clark wasn't able to react fast, but his heart did.
It's racing with the sun.
The heat suddenly hugs him tightly.
Clark smiles and when Sheen was about to take her hand away, he holds it tightly, not letting her go.
Sheen looks away with a slight blush and they entered the car with Mr. Rogers.
'Everything will be alright,' Sheen thought while feeling Clark's warm comforting hands that held her tight, 'We'll get you, Cj!'
