‘If you listen to me, I’ll let you see her in two days,’
‘I have listened to you'
‘I confess, I wanted you all to myself for a little while longer. Satisfied?’

‘Dear, I want time to pass faster so I can see Grette'

‘If one day I’m not here anymore, you have to listen to me and let Ash take care of you,’
‘He is only fifteen, I’m twenty-five.'
How can he take care of me? I don’t need anyone else to take care of me, I only want you.’
‘It’s only a hypothetical situation,’
‘Then I’ll go wherever you go,’
‘What if I die?’
‘I’ll die with you,’.
‘If you die with me, what about Grette?’ .
‘Ash will take care of Grette, Grette loves Ash'
Dear, have you thought about letting Ash marry Grette?’
Mitchell pinched Megan’s nose.
‘Do you want Ash to suffer?’
Megan hit Mitchell’s chest.
‘Why would he suffer?’ , ‘Don’t you think our daughter is adorable, warm and loving?’
‘Yes, she is loveable,’
Mitchell silently stroked Megan's hair. She was proud that Grette was their daughter.
Mitchell saw Ash’s caller ID on his phone. He let go of Megan, and walked to the study room.
‘Ash, what did you find out?’
‘Dad, the owner of the plaque has no criminal record, Also, I don’t think the owner kidn*pped Grette for money.’
‘okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.’
‘Bye dad,’
Mitchell went back to bed.
‘Dear, are you worried about something?’
‘No,’
‘Mitch, whenever you’re worried about something, you can share your worries with me,’
‘Let’s sleep,’
Mitchell was worried about what Grette’s kidnapper wanted if the kidnapper didn’t want money.
***
At nine in the morning, in front of M&M company headquarters, a silver Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Mitchell and Ash. The luxury car confirmed that the kidnapper didn’t want money.
‘Mr.Mitchell, I thought I said my master only wanted to see you,’
‘The letter didn’t say I had to see your master alone,’
The passenger doors were unlocked. Mitchell and Ash sat in the car. The silver Rolls-Royce quickly disappeared from the company headquarters.
The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a private airport. The three young men stepped onto a small private jet to fly to the Peace Mansion.
Mitchell and Ash didn’t understand why someone would build a mansion near a forest of wild animals.
Mike pressed a secret knob and the front door opened.
‘Come inside,’ Adi said.
Mitchell and Ash were surprised to see a beautiful woman with long white hair waiting for them behind the door.
‘Thank you Mike, You can leave.’
‘Yes mistress,’
Adi closed the door. Mitch and Ash followed her to the living room. The men thought the mansion was furnished like a Victorian home.
Grette jumped off the sofa, she ran to Mitchell and hugged him.
‘Daddy!’
Mitchell held Grette tightly in his arms. His little girl was safe.
‘Daddy, what took you so long to come here? I really missed you and mummy.’
‘What about me? Grette, didn’t you miss me?’
‘Big brother ’
Grette stretched her chubby arms for Ash to hold her. Mitchell loosened his hold on Grette and Ash held her.
Mitchell assessed the man sitting on the sofa. The man didn’t look like a simpleton.
Farol thought the little round ball’s dad had icy eyes.
‘Mr.Mitchell, I have something I want to discuss with you in private,’ ‘Come with me.’
‘Ash, stay here and play with Grette,’
Mitchell followed Ash to the study room.
‘Big brother, lollipop,’ .
Ash kissed Grette’s cheek. He picked up a lollipop from the coffee table, and gave it to Grette. He thought she was a sweet little mouse.
Grette unwrapped the lollipop and she held it in front of Ash’s mouth.
‘Big brother , eat,’
Ash sighed inwardly and put the lollipop in his mouth. He stroked her hair that was brushed smoothly.
‘Grette, did you have fun here?’.
‘Yes,Aunty let me eat delicious food. She gave me a pink butterfly clip. Big brother , is it pretty?’
‘Yes, Grette looks like a little princess.’
‘Big brother, look at this beautiful dress aunty helped me wear,’
‘It’s beautiful, Grette, did you miss home?’
‘Yes, I missed big brother , mummy and daddy.’
Ash kissed Grette’s cheek again. When he was with Grette, all his worries disappeared. He even forgot why he and Mitchell came to the Mansion.
