Warmth of Love

Chapter 3

In the stadium, Nanny Rose, Mr. Mcdonnel and the bodyguards are frantically anxious. They searched the whole stadium, inside and outside but they cannot find Little Blaine.

Nanny Rose is totally panic-stricken and cried. “Oh my! Young Miss is missing. I hope nothing happens to her. It’s my entire fault.”

Mr. Mcdonnel is nervously pacing back and forth while the bodyguards continue searching for their young miss’ whereabouts.

“I think we should inform master and madam. We can’t handle the consequences if something bad happens to the young miss.” Nanny Rose anxiously said.

“Right! Hurry up and make the call.” Mr. Mcdonnel agreed immediately.

They totally know that the consequence is severe if something will happen to Little Blaine. Knowing that she’s an heiress she’s also the Secretary of Defense’ daughter, General Scott will surely skin them alive.

Nanny Rose fished out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number with trembling hands. The calls ring for a long time before it was answered.

A man’s cold and professional voice heard from the other line.

“Hello! This is Todd Sanders, special assistant of the Secretary of Defense. How may I help you?”

“Assistant Todd *sob* I’m Nanny Rose *sob*. Something happened to young miss. *sob* She’s missing.” Nanny replied between her sobs.

Assistant Todd was shock and didn’t reply for the moment as he digests the words uttered by Nanny Rose. “What did you say? Generals’ daughter is missing? What happened? How? Is she not with you? “ he frantically yells asking Nanny Rose.

Nanny Rose said everything in details and no information was missed. He tells that in the whole competition the young miss was in low spirit and without receiving the award she run away.

“Okay! I’ll inform the general right away!” Assistant Todd replied hurriedly and hangs up the call.

He braced his self and barge in inside the Secretary of Defense’ office. Without waiting for the generals’ angry remarks of his action he said boldly and loudly.

“General! The young miss is missing!”

The man in military uniform with five star twinkles at his shoulder is currently busy with piles of papers on his desk. He’s a well-refined man with a well-built body, sharp eyes, pointy nose and emotionless face. As a man with a very long experience in terms of life and dealing with people, he calmly listened to the anxious report of his assistant. Upon hearing the whole story, his eyebrows furrowed and finally utter a word.

“Have they searched the vicinity?” He asked calmly.

“Yes sir! But still they cannot find her.” Assistant Todd replied as his eyes focus to the calm man before him, as if it’s not his daughter who’s missing.

The man sighed and ordered with full authority.

“Widen the scope of the search and do it silently. Do not alert the public to avoid alerting the enemy. I don’t want my daughter to be in danger and be captured to use against me.” After that he stood and up and face the floor to ceiling window observing the movements outside.

“Yes sir! We’ll move right away.” Assistant replied with a bow as a form of courtesy.

Then he straightened his back and saluted. “Permission to leave, sir!”

Without turning, he replied. “Dismiss”

He took a deep breath and pick up his phone and dialed his wife’s number.

Ring.Ring.Ring.

Then a soft feminine voice entered his ear.

“Simon? Is everything alright? Did you go to meet our daughter?”

Silence prevailed between the two. Without hearing a word from the other line, the woman asked again.

“Simon?”

“Bianca, our daughter’s missing.” He utters his words with guilt and self-blame.

“What?! What happened? Simon, what happened to our daughter?” Upon hearing her husband’s word, she was shock and anxiously asked. She knows that her daughter has a national competition today and how come she’s missing. And everywhere she goes; she has a nanny and bodyguards with her. She always makes sure her daughter’s safety that’s why she was shocked. Her daughter’s identity is very precious and she and her husband have lots of enemy. What if they’ll hurt her? What should she do?

The guilt that Simon feels intensified because he knows that his daughter was not kidn*pped but instead she runs away because they didn’t attend her competition; they caused their daughter’s disappointment and hurt her feelings. He knows how outstanding his daughter is and he’s very proud of her but they didn’t spare time to be with her because he’s too busy with his work same as his wife.

“Bianc, she runs away and I’ve already sent my men to find her.” He softly informed his wife because he can feel how anxious she is right now knowing that her one and only daughter is missing.

“Oh my God! Why did she do that? Simon, make sure you’ll find her safe. Okay? Promise me Simon, you’ll find her. I’ll fly back right away. I’ll be there.” She can’t imagine her daughter running away. She keeps imagining unwanted things that might happen to her. The daughter that she painstakingly given birth to.

“I’m here, Bianc. I will make sure nothing will happen to her. I’ll find her. Calm down, okay? I’ll find her. Be safe okay? Call me when you’re back.” Simon coaxed his wife patiently. His wife is a fierce woman in the business world but he knows her daughter is her weakness while he himself, they are his weakness.
