Return With the Billionaire Baby Daddy-Chapter 106: Daniel was kidnapped

Two months have passed...

As usual, Valerie enjoyed breakfast with Daniel, but this time Hannah remained in her room when she should have been getting ready to take him to daycare.

"Mama, when will Dada come again?" Daniel asked, munching on his asparagus with his tiny hands.

"He’ll come when he’s not busy," Valerie replied anxiously, remembering Damian starting to see her less often, citing busyness. She couldn’t demand much and chose to wait until the man could marry her, even choosing to focus on writing again.

Daniel pouted instantly. "But, I miss him!"

"Mama knows... We’ll call him later." Valerie stood up. "I’ll go see Hannah."

Daniel stayed silent, letting his mother leave the dining room.

"Hannah... Hannah..." Valerie knocked on Hannah’s door room.

In an instant, the door opened, revealing Hannah looking pale and weary, but her clothes indicated she was ready to leave.

"Hey, are you sick?" Valerie asked.

"No... I’m just a little dizzy," Hannah replied with a thin smile.

"Are you sure?" Valerie asked skeptically. "If you’re sick, then maybe you should rest and let me take Daniel to daycare..."

Hannah immediately shook her head. "It’s okay, I’ll take him. But maybe I’ll have breakfast at the cafeteria."

"Okay then..."

Valerie let Daniel finish his breakfast first, then Hannah took him to daycare without Jerry because she didn’t feel she needed him anymore since the situation had always been safe and there were no more threats from Darius or anyone else.

Hannah walked, leading Daniel who was walking so slowly with his small legs.

"Hannah, carry me!" Daniel exclaimed, looking up at Hannah and reaching out his hands.

Reluctantly, Hannah lifted him, crossing the streets somewhat unsteadily as if truly feeling dizzy.

"I should have a car like Dada," Daniel muttered, pouting.

Hannah smiled thinly. "You should just ask him. He’s rich... He’ll give you anything you ask for, including a car."

"Hmmm... Mama won’t allow it."

"Your mom is too naive."

"What’s naive?" Daniel asked, looking at Hannah in bewilderment.

Hannah remained silent, squinting her eyes as she glanced at the deserted streets until her attention was drawn to a white Jeep slowly approaching.

"Who’s that?" Daniel pointed at the stopped Jeep.

Hannah fell silent with anxiety, remembering the incident two months ago when Daniel was almost abducted, and her anxiety grew stronger when she saw two masked men approaching quickly. She immediately ran, but they blocked her way.

"Don’t you dare! I’ll scream and people will come to beat you up!"

The two men remained silent, one of them snatching Daniel from Hannah and pushing her to the ground.

"Hannah!" Daniel cried out.

Hannah tried to get up, chasing after them as they took Daniel into the car.

"Hannah!"

"Daniel! Help!" She shouted towards the car. "Daniel... Bring him back to me! Hey!" She pounded on the car window repeatedly while watching Daniel squirm in fear inside.

"Hey, let him go, let him go!" she yelled, continuing to hit the car window, but the car slowly drove off.

She kept running after it until she fell, and the car disappeared from her sight.

"Daniel..." She gasped with tears of fear. ’Oh God, what do I do now? What if they’re not hired by his grandfather but they’re evil people who might kill him and sell his organs?’ she wondered in her heart until her attention turned to Tristan arriving on his motorcycle.

"Hannah?"

Tristan quickly got off his bike and approached Hannah with a panicked look. "What are you doing here, what happened?"

"Daniel... I was taking him to daycare but suddenly two mysterious men took him," Hana replied, instantly making Tristan’s eyes widen. "They took him away in a white Jeep... I didn’t notice the license plate!" she continued in frustration.

Tristan fell silent with confusion, his eyes scanning around until he found a CCTV camera mounted on a pole.

’I and Karina didn’t plan to kidnap Daniel... This must be someone else’s doing... He’s really in danger,’ he thought angrily, quickly standing up again followed by Hannah.

"Can you try to find him?" Hannah asked, her voice filled with sadness.

"I might be able to. You should go back home and inform Valerie, I’ll call 911," Tristan replied.

Hannah nodded, immediately running towards Valerie’s house while Tristan remained at the abduction site.

...

Valerie opened her laptop, ready to continue her work but her attention was drawn to the window. She saw Hannah running towards the house, making her feel anxious, and she stood up immediately.

"Why is she back?"

Valerie hurried out and was surprised to see Hannah crying, immediately embracing her.

"I’m so sorry... I’m sorry I couldn’t protect Daniel!"

Valerie was confused, quickly releasing Hannah’s hug.

"Hannah... What do you mean? What happened?" She asked.

"Daniel... He..." Hannah was nervous and scared. "He was kidnapped... I couldn’t stop them!"

Valerie’s eyes widened instantly, her mind flashing to the cute face of Daniel, her heart stopping and her breath catching as tears streamed down her face in an instant.

"I’m so sorry..."

"And then... What now? Did anyone try to chase the kidnapper?" Valerie asked amidst her tears.

"Tristan called 911... But I think you should contact Damian, maybe his father is involved... He has the right to know!" Hannah exclaimed.

Valerie immediately went to her room to get her phone. Trembling, she sat on the edge of the bed, trying to call Damian but his number was inactive.

"Oh God, Damian!" She exclaimed in frustration, immediately trying to call him again.

"Oh God, why is his number inactive? What should I do?" She wondered in fear.

"Call his grandmother, call Adriana or whoever!" Hannah urged.

Valerie switched to calling Elena and instantly got connected.

"Mrs. McCourtney... I need your help," she said, tears uncontrollable again.

"What happened, Sweetie? Why are you crying?" Elena sounded panicked.

"Daniel, he’s been kidnapped!"

"Oh my God... Kidnapped? Where... How could this happen?"

"He was supposed to go to daycare with Hannah, but suddenly two men just kidnapped him. Hannah couldn’t stop the two men and now... Now they’ve taken him," Valerie explained in fear. "My friend called 911... But I think we need to find another way to find him and I think you can... Maybe you can ask your trusted people to try to find him... I’ve tried calling Damian but his number is inactive," she continued in frustration.

"Okay... Now calm down, trust everything to the police. I’ll contact my husband and my trusted people."

"Okay..."

Valerie ended the call, then sighed, her body limp and her gaze empty, imagining where Daniel could be now. His laughter and tears echoed in her ears, and moments from childhood to now played like a tangled cassette in her mind, making her suddenly dizzy and unable to think anymore.

"Valerie..." Hannah saw Valerie with concern.

"I can’t... I can’t live without him, I can’t!" Valerie exclaimed with hysterical tears. "Hannah, I’m afraid they’ll do something terrible to him if they’re not working on his grandfather’s orders... I’m so scared!"

"I know..." Hannah immediately embraced Valerie. "I understand how you feel... Let’s pray for the best for him."

"I miss him... He just had breakfast with me and talked about missing his father. Oh God... please, save him... I haven’t had a chance to make him happy yet!"

Hannah rubbed Valerie’s back, trying to calm her until suddenly her tears subsided, turning into silence until she realized she had fainted.

"Oh my, Valerie?" She released her embrace and saw Valerie unconscious, then gently tapped her cheeks. "Valerie... Wake up... Valerie!"

Valerie remained unconscious, making Hannah more panicked as she laid her on the bed. She rushed to the vanity table, trying to find aromatherapy essential oil and then applying it to Valerie’s nose.

...

In Karina’s apartment, precisely on the sofa with papers scattered on the table, Damian woke up and glanced at his phone lying on the table then picked it up.

"Oh, damn... Battery empty!" He grumbled in annoyance, quickly plugging the phone into the charger until his attention was drawn to the open door.

"Damian, your Mother called me," Karina said in a hurry, handing her phone to Damian. "She tried to reach you several times but couldn’t, so she called me," she continued, sitting on another sofa.

Damian immediately took the phone and placed it in his right ear. "Mom..."

"Damian, this is an emergency, you need to meet Valerie now!" Elena exclaimed sounding extremely anxious. "Your son has been kidnapped... And now she’s completely lost not knowing how to find him. You need to do something now even though the police are trying to find him!"

Damian was stunned, his heart racing with his eyes wide open.

"I thought the bastard would stop bothering them, but now he’s acting up again!" He said angrily. "Where is Dad now? I need to talk to him!"

"He... He’s already gone to the office..."

"Lies!" Damian exclaimed as he stood up, then walked away from the sofa. "Don’t you realize that the most likely one to have kidnapped Daniel is him? Now we have to talk to him... I don’t have the patience anymore! He’s going too far!"

"Damian, but could Dad do that? All this time he..."

Damian immediately hung up the phone without wanting to hear his mother’s words anymore. He tossed the phone to Karina, then turned back to the sofa and tried to turn on his phone.

Impatiently waiting for his phone to come back to life, he then saw there were numerous missed calls from Valerie through WhatsApp and other social media apps.

"Oh my, she must be panicking!"

He immediately called Valerie, didn’t care that he should pretend not to know about Valerie’s number in front of Karina.

"Hello, honey..."

"It’s Hannah... Valerie is still unconscious!" Hannah exclaimed from the phone. "She’s very frightened and shocked by what happened... You should come here, wake up, and help us find Daniel!"

"Okay, I’ll take care of her!"

Damian immediately ended the call and tried to contact his father but got no answer, making him more convinced that his father was the one who kidnapped Daniel. Hmm, but his father never planned to do that before because previously it was Tristan who arranged the kidnapping to get close to Valerie. So, who could the kidnapper be now?
