~~~~~ AT THE PARTY ~~~~~
"Excuse me, where's our friend? The lady with a black floral dress" Lily asked the bartender
"I don't know where she is ma'am. She left a long time ago" the bartender said
"Okay thanks" Lily said
"Where could she be?" Lily asked
"Let me try calling her"Rose said
"Wait I hear something" Lily said
"What is it?" Rose said
"It's Diane's ringtone. Her phone is somewhere around here" Lily said
"I found it" Rose said bending down to pick Diane's phone up
"How did her phone get beneath the stool?" Lily asked
"That's really strange. Diane never goes anywhere without her phone so how could she leave without taking her phone with her" Rose said
"Where could she have gone?" Rose added
"CCTV. Let's check the CCTV footage. We might be able to find something" Lily said
"That's right Lily. We can start checking from the time we left. Let's go to the security room . It's in the basement" Rose said then they left
~~~~~ AT THE SECURITY ROOM ~~~~~
"Good back two seconds please"Rose said
"What's that guy putting in her drink?" Rose asked
"What if he drugged and kidnapped her?" Lily said
"Her phone must have fallen while he was kidnapping her" Rose said
"Don't let us jump into conclusions. Let's keep watch6the footage" Lily said
"You see, he didn't kidnap her" Lily said
"True but he wanted to take advantage of her. If not, why would he follow her into the room" Rose stated as a matter of fact
"They never came out of that room Rose" Lily said getting scared
"Let's go to the guest room quickly" Rose said and they left immediately
~~~~~ IN THE GUEST ROOM ~~~~~
"The room is empty Rose" Lily said crying
"Oh my God. Where could that jerk have taken her to and how did they poss...." Rose was saying when her phone's ringtone cut her off
"Oh no. It's Aunt. What do I tell her" Rose said getting scared
"Let's hear what she has to say first. We don't have to tell her Diane's missing, we'll just come up with something" Lily said
Rose took a deep breath and picked the call then she put it on speaker
"Good morning Aunty" Rose said
"Good morning dear. Could you please pass the phone to Diane?" Mrs Octavier said over the phone
"What do I say?" Rose whispered to Lily
"I don't know" Lily whispered back crying
"Uhm, Aunty, Diane went to get some drinks at the bar so she isn't with us right now" Rose lied
"Okay dear. Tell her to come back home immediately you see her" Mrs Octavier said
"Okay Aunty. Goodbye" Rose said and the call ended
"How do we deliver her message if we can't find her"Lily said
"Let's go inform my brother about this" Rose said and they left
~~~~~ BACK AT THE MANSION ~~~~~
Damian entered the room through the door this time. He smiled when he saw that she had already eaten the food and had changed her clothes
"Good little kitten" Damian said smiling
"May I please use your phone? I can't find mine and I need to call my mum and my friends" Diane said
"You can only call your friends. I won't let you call your mum" Damian said
"But why? She's probably worried sick about me" Diane said
"Call your friends only or call no one at all" Damian said waving his phone in her face
"Fine, I'll call my friends"
Diane dialed Lily and Rose's number multiple times but there was no answer
She was about to return the phone to Damian when Lily called back
"Who's this?" Lily said
"It's me, Diane" Diane replied
"Diane!!! Where are you? Rose, it's Diane. Are you okay? Did that jerk do anything to you? Where are you?"Lily asked all at once
"Diane tell us where you are, we'll come get you" Rose said
"I'm fine guys. Perfectly fine. Someone saved me from the jerk. You don't need to come to me, I'll be going home soon" Diane said
"Okay but at least tell us what happened" Rose said
"And who's number is this?" Lily asked
"That's not important right now Lily" Rose said
"You're right" Lily said
"I'll tell you everything tomorrow guys" Diane said
"Okay baby. Take care of yourself" Rose said and the call ended
"Here. Thank you" Diane said handing the phone back to Damian
"Your friends really care about you uhn" Damian said
"Hmm. Can we leave now?" Diane asked
"Okay" Damian said and they went downstairs together
"Good morning Luna" Liam and Ryan bowed
"Good morning" Diane greeted and bowed also
"You don't have to bow to them" Damian said
"But they bo....." Diane was saying when Damian walked out leaving her alone with Liam and Ryan
"Let's go Luna" Ryan said
"Don't take his actions to heart. He can be a bit rude sometimes" Liam said smiling
"A bit??? He's extremely rude if you ask me" Diane said
"Say that again" Damian said appearing behind her
"Haaaaaa" Diane screamed out of shock
"Say that again" Damian repeated not caring about how much he frightened her
"I won't. Aarghhh" Diane said and stormed out of the mansion
"She's feisty. I like her" Liam said teasingly
"What did you say?" Damian said with a low growl
"Uhn, did I say something?" Liam said and ran upstairs immediately
Damian walked out of the mansion and headed to where the car was parked
"Sit at the front" Damian said when he saw Diane seated at the back seat
"What if I don't?" Diane asked
"Then we'll go back inside and you'll never get to leave here" Damian said with an expressionless face
"Okay fine" Diane said and moved to the front seat
Damian also got into the car and started the car
"He's so mean and heartless. How dare he threaten me that way?" Diane said in her mind
Damian frowned and his eyes seemed to darken a bit. He drove the car out of the mansion and headed towards Diane's house
~~~~~ 20 MINUTES LATER ~~~~~
"How does he know the way to my house?" Diane said in her mind
"You don't need to know that little kitten" Damian said startling Diane
"Uhn, how did you hear my thoughts?" Diane asked
"He's an Alpha you fool. He can read minds" Crystal said in her head
"Quite calling me that" Diane said in her mind feeling frustrated
"Crystal isn't wrong you know" Damian suddenly said
Diane quickly shot him a death glare and he smirked
"Wait... How do you kn...." Diane was saying when Damian cut her off
"We're here" Damian said parking the car
Diane swallowed her words and looked out of the window to see a very familiar building
She quickly got out of the car and ran to the door to ring the door bell
Damian also got out of the car and went to join her at the door
After 2 minutes, the door was opened
"Baby" Mrs Octavier said hugging Diane tightly
"I told you to be back before 12 right. Why are you back so late?" Mrs Octavier asked looking at her daughter intently, oblivious of the fact that there was someone standing next to her daughter
"I'm sorry mum. I lost track of time" Diane lied
"Hi! Mother-in-law" Damian said
