She Compelled Him To Kneel After Their Divorce

Chapter 5

FIND SKYE

And, that was when it happened. The kidnap. The only thing she remembered was getting hit from behind and she blacked out. It was as if the kidnappers were waiting for her to leave the hall.

Skye was bounded like a commodity and thrown into the trunk of a van and like that, the kidnappers zoomed off in hurry. If anyone had told Skye that she'd be kidn*pped today or any other day, she would have sworn with everything in her that it would never happen. This was solely because she didn't consider herself a target for k********g and she didn't think anyone would want to use her as collateral to get ransom money.

On the way to the location mapped out by the misfits, she dosed in and out of consciousness.

There wasn't much she could do.

Back in the hall, Fenella noticed Skye had left her spot and she began moving around, trying to find her. She didn't find her until she got outside and found Skye's purse and phone on the ground. Fenella knew something was wrong and hurried inside to inform Mr Haldor. She also tried to get through to Tristan. He wasn't picking up and then he phone got switched off.

Alarmed, the man asked for the CCTV footage outside the hall and they saw it. Skye being kidn*pped by some masked men. The party was called off and everyone went home, hoping Skye would be found.

Next day

Skye's eyes flunged open and she immediately stood up. Thankfully, her hands and legs weren't tied and she ran towards the door. She tried opening it but it was locked. She groaned and went back to sit on the floor she just woke up from. She's been kidn*pped. She thought as tears rolled down her cheeks. If only she didn't try to go after Tristan and Natalie, she wouldn't be here right now. But what was she supposed to do? No sane woman would sit back down and watch, knowing something was going on between her husband and his ex. Her father in-law wasn't even helping matters, he never failed to invite the whole Wesley family to every of his parties, giving Natalie and Tristan enough room to see each other.

Skye knew she sounded like a jealous wife. To be honest, she hasn't caught Tristan and Natalie in any sort of act that can prove that he's cheating on her. But the fact that she knows Natalie loves her husband is what bothers her. Also, there could be a possibility that Tristan still harbors a soft spot for Natalie. Who runs to check up on their ex girlfriend at every slightest call they get?.

Yes, Tristan does that. He hears there's been an issue at Wes Group and he rushes over there, Natalie's been ill, he rushes over to her home. Skye and Tristan have been married for three years and Tristan claims he isn't ready to have any child. He claims the responsibilities of fathers are way too much and he doubt he can perform those responsibilities. How will you know you can't do it when you don't try?.

The door opened and Skye stood up, alarmed.

"The beauty's awake" the one who came in said and soon, two others arrived.

"Why have you taken me? Who sent you?"Skye asked, trying to sound strong.

"It doesn't matter who sent us or not, what matters is that we get to make some cool cash in less than a week"the one who seemed like their leader said and the other two smiled.

"Help!"Skye screamed and the men laughed

"You're in an abandoned building, in a lonely area. Do you think anyone will hear you and come to your rescue?"the leader asked making sad faces at her and his people laughed.

Skye looked down and glanced at the three of them.

"I really can't give you guys anything"

They sneered.

"What do you want?"she asked

"You don't have to worry about what we want cus it's not you we want. It's Tristan we want"

"My husband? What has he done?"

"Nothing. He's too rich and we hate it. Let's see if he loves you so much to spare some cash for us" the first one to come in said and like that, the three walked out not without shutting the door from outside.

Skye sat down back. They're after money, that's why they took her.

She wanted her husband to come find her. She didn't know how long it was going to take before they lost their cool. She didn't want to wait to find out. Heck, she wanted just anyone to let her out of here.

STAR PALACE

Tristan walked into the house. He was happy and fulfilled in that moment. He walked in and was surprised to see both his parents, Mrs Joan Dixon (Skye's mom) and Fenella in the living room.

Joan was the first to rise immediately he walked in.

"Good Lord, you're back. Where have you been?"Joan said as Tristan walked further into the house.

He didn't reply. Nothing was going to take away this feeling that he was feeling right now. He knew it wasn't going to last, ɓut he didn't want it rudely taken away from him, so he just looked on.

"Nothing to say? You suddenly disappeared from the party last night only to return today and there's nothing to say?"Mr Haldor asked

"Natalie disappeared too"Fenella said quietly and Tristan faced her.

"So,what does that have to do with me? She can do whatever she like. I'm coming from Mason's. He called and wanted to talk. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before leaving"Tristan said, hoping they'll let it slide.

"And Skye? You were busy with your uncle until this morning meanwhile, your wife was kidn*pped last night" Joan said and he looked up.

"Yes, it's true son. We watched the footage. Some masked men took her in a van." His mom, Anne said.

He heard when they said she had disappeared, but he didn't think it was because she got kidn*pped.

"We've contacted the cops and they're searching for the van. I'm sure we'll find Skye so, don't worry." Mr Haldor said and stood up then walked away with his wife. Joan glared at Tristan before leaving too.

"Aren't you going? You think here's a place you can camp out in?"Tristan asked Fenella.

"I know something's up between you and Natalie and I'll make sure to find out" she said

"It's surprising how you bad mouth Natalie alot when her dad's company's the one footing your bills"

"I'm glad you said her dad's company. I wouldn't be caught dead working for Natalie. I saw you two. You both kept checking the time and looking at yourselves. Immediately she stepped out of the hall, you joined her and Skye who must have noticed it too followed you guys. That's the reason why they took her"Fenella shouted and Tristan laughed.

"Are you blaming me for her kidnap? Is it my fault that I married a nosy wife? She just don't get it does she? She keeps trying to check on me and my ex and it's not my fault"Tristan shouted back and it was her turn to laugh.

"This is coming from a man whose wife is missing. But I like how real and truthful you are with me. Goodbye"Fenella said and walked away.

Tristan ruffled his hair and sat on the sofa.

"Skye's been kidn*pped? This is crazy"he said.

Why would she let herself get kidn*pped. If she had just enjoyed the party and stopped being so nosy, then maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. He didn't know what to feel at this point. He really couldn't care less what happened to her, but at the same time, he was her husband and that means that he had an obligation. An obligation which he seriously detested.

But, on the other hand, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her chill for sometime. Maybe this was a blessing and meant she could have enough time to recollect her thoughts. He wondered what she would be thinking about. It didn't really matter. This kidnap also meant that he could have enough time and space to spend with Natalie. He got more excited. Maybe this was for the better. Skye was a strong woman and in one way or the other, he expected her to pull through. He would learn more about her kidnap later.

Now, he needed to cater to what mattered to him most.

He texted her and it didn't take long for her to reply. They conversed before he went on to take a shower and get settled in bed. He'd had dinner already.

Today was a nice day after all.
