Kidnapped and replaced
Chapter fifty nine
Alex P.O.V.
"Okay so what's going on?" I asked immediately I got inside and met the security snoring. I called Charlotte but seems she isn't in the house. I was about to go upstairs when I saw something on the dining table. I picked it and it was a letter with Charlotte's handwriting.
"I needed a break so I will be travelling for a month,don't worry about me and the baby. We will be fine,I promise. Don't punish the security because I drugged him to sleep"
I read out and I did know what to think of. Hell, I was damn confused. I walked back and forth not knowing what to do next. What if something bad happens to her? Gosh I will never forgive myself. I brought my second phone and saw she already messaged me saying she is in danger. I knew this would happen. I picked my car key and made it outside but met Val outside and she was panting heavily.
"Why are you panting like that?" I asked her and she briefed me on everything.
"I will track it. I installed a G.P.S on her phone" I said as I entered my car.
"No need for that,Bryan brought his car" she explained and I nodded and we left for outside.
"Get to the passenger seat Bryan I will drive" Val said and he obliged.
"Val be careful" I said for the time but it seems she wasn't even listening at all.
The drive took more than an hour before we finally got to see the place and we didn't need a third party to tell us Charlotte had been abducted.
"I was too late," I said sadly. Val was crying already and I'm also trying my best to hold myself from crying.
Bryan could only her. We only saw that a car was parked there and Charlotte's phone must be somewhere close in the bush but no trace of her.
We checked everywhere and drove out of the bush when there was no sign of her. Val and I were just too weak to even drive.
We got to the main road and saw Charlotte wandering off the road. I"What! Charlotte?" I exclaimed the same as the rest and Bryan parked the car.
Charlotte P.O.V
"Don" alright saying he is the last person I was expecting is this stupid Don is even an understatement. I should be expecting him anyway just that I couldn't think fast he might be the one.
"Don?" I called.
"I prefer being called Damien please,you see I told you we're gonna meet again" he smiled widely this time and stretched forth his hands for a hand shake. I was even scared to hold his hands.
"What do you want from me…why can't you just leave and walk out of my life!?" I screamed but he didn't even bulge.
"Why are you doing this to me? Last I checked I never offended you!" I shouted frustratedly trying hard not to feel weak in his presence.
"Enough of your petty talk" he said icily and brought out a white handkerchief. I've watched this in movies millions of times and now I'm about to experience it. I tried hard for my nose not to get in contact with it but he was way stronger.
"Da.." I couldn't complete the sentence as my eyes became cloudy and heavy. My vision was becoming blurry.
Alex P. O. V
We came down from the car and Charlotte was looking all moody. I hugged her and she just stared at us like we were strangers.
"What happened?" Val demanded when we got to the car. I kept on checking her if she was hurt anywhere. I couldn't even let go of her hands.
"I was abducted" she said cooly and we nodded. I was the first to notice the change in her. I mean the Charlotte I know is not always dull. I caressed her face and she flinched.
"What's wrong? You don't look lively" I said and she smiled. I can tell that smile is fake.
"The baby is gone" she dropped the bomb she'll staring at the floor.
"How…" Val couldn't find her voice.
"That I don't know…I was injected and when I woke up…I couldn't feel the baby inside of me again" she narrated and I sighed. Is this really Charlotte? She said all those words with no emotion attached. I'm starting to think maybe her memories were also wiped away.
"Then we need to visit the hospital…Incase of any complication" I said after some minutes of thinking.
"I don't wanna go to the hospital…I just wanna rest,today has been hectic enough for me" she said.
"Do you recognize any of them?" I asked and she nodded negatively.
"What happened…why would you leave without even informing anyone…how could you put yourself and the baby in danger?" Valerie asked and she kept mute.

I walked behind Alex and went upstairs to his room and showered. Everything here is so new to me. I mean where is Charlotte's room? Is it possible she and Alex use the same room? He laid on the bed operating his phone but I could feel his gaze on me. I'm so thankful he didn't argue about me going to the hospital.
I just hope he doesn't get to know who I am. All this is happening to me all thanks to Damien. I have to do this to save my one and only sister. I wore Alex's clothes and applied his lotion. He kept on stealing gazes at me and that alone is making me feel uncomfortable.
"I will take my leave now" I said and he just nodded absentmindedly. I closed the door gently and started opening the roots of the rooms by the right side but everywhere wasn't designed like that of Charlotte.
I wonder what Charlotte is facing right now. Poor girl. I don't even know the kind of character she has. Alex has been staring at me like I was crazy ever since they picked me up in the place Charlotte was abducted. I entered fully and gasped. We both look damn alike. It was a portrait of her in a white gown and red heels. She had very little make up and let her hair fall freely on her back. She is very pretty. The only difference we have is that she looks classy. I doubt if I can wear those durable clothes. I sighed. Of Course I have to. This was never my choice. Being addressed as someone I am not but I have no choice.
I brought out my phone and called Damien.
"I'm damn nervous right now Damien. He is already suspecting me and might find out about me soon" I said. He waited for SE seconds before he responded.
"You have to do all he takes and pretend you're Charlotte else.." he said and hung up before I could say another word.
I sighed heavily and explored the room. She is really living in luxury. I concluded.
Everything about Charlotte is neat and organised. I noticed. I changed to one of her night gowns and ordered a phone call with Alex's card.
Charlotte P. O. V
I was up and everywhere was blurry at first but everything suddenly became clear. I flinched and stood up remembering everything that happened.
"You're finally awake,how was your sleep?" His deep voice sounded. He was sitting beside me and staring at me intently.
"Autograph please" he said stretching forth his hand and I signed on it. He kissed it tenderly.
"Can I go now?" I asked and his softened face changed. His eyes became dark and scary.bi came a little bit scared. Did I say something wrong? Did I say a little? Heck! I was damn scared. He finally spoke out.
"I was planning to use you against Alex but in the long run I discovered I was in love with you,you are mine and mine forever alone Charlotte" his deep green eyes boring into mine dangerously. I was really scared. He was staring at me lustfully and hungrily. Like he was going to devour me any moment from now.
"But…but I'm with Alex's baby" I couldn't even hear my own voice clearly. His face grew angrier but he was quick to replace it with a smile then a smirk.
"Well about that we can remove it " he said and winked at me. Now I know this stupid Don has completed gone nut.
"What! Remove my baby?" I said more like I screamed and he shrugged. He never looked bothered, not even for once.
" Why are you doing this?" I asked frustratedly. I was on the verge of crying.
"You really want to know?" There was pain in his voice. Do I really want to know? I thought
"Don't worry,the more you tell me,the more insane" I said and laid back on the bed.
"You must be hungry" he said and I scoffed inwardly.
" Like you care!" I fired back at him and he smirked. That evil smirk . He moved closer to me on the bed and I sat down on the bed moving back.
"What are you doing?" I . My back had gotten through the wall already. He held my chin and drew it nearer to his. I scrunch my face in disgust.
"Make good use of the opportunity when I'm being nice to you and treating you tenderly. I'm trying to make it work between us" he said with lots of coldness in his voice. I don't think I've ever met someone this cold and cruel before. I shivered at his voice.
"Now can you eat your food?" He said and I looked beside me and saw a tray of food. This guy must be kidding me. He really wants me to eat the food. Believe me when I say I'm damned hungry but that hunger died within me immediately he mentioned food.
"I'm not hungry" I said, forcing on an unsecure smile.
"Seriously…you think I was gonna poison you?" He asked and scoffed. He opened the dish.He tasted the food.
"Satisfied now? Let's eat together then" I had no choice but to eat with him. Anything that will make him angry is the last thing I want right now. My mind was elsewhere all through. We finished eating and he left the room. I sighed relieved.
I don't even know where we are right now. I got up from the bed thinking of what to do next. What's my way of escape? A plan came to my mind and I smiled. I just hope this plan works out.
