**************
Dad and Zoey left for the restaurant,I was home alone, Nicholas made me quit work to take care of myself and the baby,I was bored so I decided to walk outside, Nicholas was on his way,I decided to wait outside for him,a car stopping front of my house and some men came out I was scared texted Nicholas and put on my phone's emergency video,I walked inside and they followed me,I tried shouting and everywhere we t black.
Nicholas pov ......
I drove faster to Paula's house,I ran inside and her phone was broken on the floor,I knew something bad had happened,I rushed back to the office to confront mom"where is she?"
"Who?"
"Where is Paula?"
"Supposed to be at work but I heard she's on leave so in her house I guess"
"She's been kidn*pped,by you I know"I said,I was angry I felt like strangling her
"You can check my call history,I swear I know nothing"she said
I never heard her talking about kidnap with anyone,I walked out angrily and informed the rest
"Where could she be?"Zoey asked crying
"I have no idea,I've contacted everyone I know,she'll be fine"I said,I already asked the police to start investing her disappearance
*************
I sat in my room lost in my thoughts,I was really hoping nothing bad happened to her and my child, mom seemed to be innocent,I could think of no other person" someone is thinking of his lost pregnant girlfriend" a voice said mockingly,it was Molly
"I'm not in the mood" I said,she chuckled and walked away,Molly would not do such,she would have pretended to care or say something to hurt me and the fact she knew Paula was pregnant,I remembered Paula saying something about running as a child,I was confused, Molly would not do such a thing but I had no choice than to suspect her, and I had to do a little research on Paula's childhood
*********
Molly pov
I walked into the room I kept Paula,she was already conscious "hi Paula"
She raised her head up"Molly she called weakly "how's our unborn child doing?".
"How did you know?"
"Well you kept saying don't harm me and my baby please,who wouldn't know? And I asked Nicholas,he could not deny it"
"Please Molly"
"You witch I am going to kill you,I've already planted a bomb,enjoy the last one hour of your life " I chuckled and left,she kept calling and begging,I ignored,I did not care
Nicholas pov......
I barely slept at night,I was in Paula's house,sir Smith told me the little he knew about her childhood,he forgot a lot of things she told him but he told me to check a box in her room,I was just checking with Zoey and uncle assisting me,I found a locket ,I was shocked"who has this?"I asked
"It's Paula"Zoey replied
"Her real name is Paula?" I asked
"Uhm Paulina actually,but I had to change it for her safety"uncle replied
"Pauline Rivera?" I asked
"Yeah I think so"
"Do you have a childhood picture of Paula?" I asked
Zoey took a picture and gave to me,she was Polly,I ran outside heading to my car,I drove to Molly's house
"What are you doing here?"
"Molly please where's Paula?"
"Going to die in few minutes time " she replied with a smile
" You have to stop it, she's our Polly"
"Is that what you can come up with?"I laughed briefly
I showed her the locket, Paula's picture and diary "she knew you were Molly that was the reason why she tried talking to you"I said
Molly pov
I was shocked,I shook my head negatively,I remembered her expression the day she saw me with that locket,the tear that fell from her eyes,she was was nice after that day,she called me 'my Molly' how dumb was I,I quickly called the men I told to take her"hello out off the bomb please save her" I said crying
"Ma'am we already left and even if we go back we may not be able to save her" the man said
"You're such a coward I'll do it myself, Nicholas let's go" I said and we both got in the car, he drove wrecklessly while I gave him the direction,I came down immediately he got there,I was about to go inside when the bomb blew"Polly " I shouted crying,I could not believe I killed my own friend I had been looking for,for years,I stood up and tried to run inside but Nicholas held me"you can't go in,you'll get hurt" he said,I could see the pain in his eyes,he was just being a gentleman,I knew he would hate me for the rest of his life,I hoped Polly would forgive me
Nicholas pov......
I felt like pushing her into the explosion to die,but I knew Paula would not support that,the corps,Ethan, Jasmine,Zoey and uncle Smith came
"Where's my sister?" Zoey asked her eye was teary,she ran to Molly and began to hit her,Molly did not fight back,she was crying too,Ethan held Zoey back"I hate you,what did my sister ever do to you? You're a witch just like Mrs Donald,you should be her daughter"
Uncle Smith was speechless, obviously heart broken,he turned back and walked away,he did not walk up to three steps when she fell down"dad" Zoey called and ran to him,I carried him and rushed him to the hospital,he had a heart attack due to the shock,the doctor said he might take a while to recover
*************
Zoey pov
We were all at the hospital with dad, Paula's body was not found so there was hope,Mrs Donald used her connection to get Molly out of jail,I was not okay with it but dad said we should just let them be and focus on finding Paula then leaving to another town,I felt like setting Molly ablaze,she was evil just like her friend,she wanted to kill my only sister,I decided that if Paula was found dead I would kill her too
Nicholas rubbed my back"Zoey don't cry,I'm sure she's fine"
"I hope she's fine along with my niece else I'll kill her I promise"
Nicholas pov ......
I smiled at Zoey,even though they just adopted Paula they loved her so much,I wished I had a family like theirs,I wondered how I never found out that Paula was Polly,she once asked about Molly I wished I told her,if I had she would have told me she's Polly and we would not be in such a mess.
************
Paula pov
I opened my eyes gently,I felt pain all over my body, someone was patting my head,I opened my eyes and it was my mom
"Mom?" I called and tried to sit up but I could barely move
"Am I dead?" I asked,she was dressed in white so I felt like I was in heaven "where's my other mom?" I asked
"Shh you'll be fine,you're not dead" she replied
"Mom where have you been?" I asked as tears fell from my eyes
"I'm not your mom dear" she said,I felt really heartbroken,I forced myself to sit up
"Mom it's me Paulina mom, you're my mom Ashley Rivera"
"Pauline,is this really you?" She asked,she was happy,I nodded,she hugged me and we were both crying " you didn't forget my face?" She asked
"How could I mom?" I asked,she released me and rubbed my hair gently "they said you died in the explosion,I thought I lost you"
"Mom those men came to the house and I had to run"
"Your dad's sister,she's so evil,she tortured me,I escaped and I've been in hiding "
"Ohh mom I'm so happy " I said crying
"How is Molly and Charly?" She asked
My mood changed"Molly tried to kill me,I've not found Charly yet,maybe he died"
"What Molly your best friend?"
"Yes, mom it's a really long story but it's because of a man"
"She betrayed you because of a man? The father of the child you were carrying?"
"Mom,why did you say were,I am carrying "
"Sorry baby,you lost your child "
"No mom I can't " I said crying,she hugged me consoling me"I'll never forgive her" I said,I was really angry,she knew I was pregnant yet she left me to die
"Get some rest,we have a lot of catch up to do" she said and I smiled

Nicholas pov
One week had passed and there was still no news about Paula,we were all worried,Molly always called to ask,i was frustrated,my life without Paula was hell, I was going to do anything to find her no matter what it cost me
Paula pov ......
"Mom let's go back".
"I'm never going back,we have a good life here,it's dangerous there"
"Mom you know about my family and Nicholas,they would all be worried sick about me".
"They all think you're dead, they'll heal and move on,we can't run back into danger"
"We'll be fine,I promise, Nicholas would protect us "
"Same way he protected you and Molly almost killed you?"
"Mom,I'm sure that was fate to get us back together,trust me he'll be more strict now " I said
"You love them more than me"
"No mom I love you more,I've missed you, just I'll be more happy if I've got all my loved one, besides you will be a mom to Zoey and I,even Nicholas and Ethan mom"
"Fine" she said"next week then "
"Thank you" I happily hugged her.
