Bound by Tension

"The time has finally come, I'm really so impatient, dear wife." He whispered in my ear, making a shiver run down my spine. "I can't wait to teach you many styles. I'll show you how it's done, my virgin." The tone he said the last two words caused my entire skin to be coated with goosebumps and a greater shiver raced down my spine, my cheeks were literally burning due to the heat from my blushing.

"I also can't wait for tonight, dear husband." I pecked him. "By the way,do you realize your employer, Briggs, is obsessed with me? He hasn't been bothering me recently but he still gives me annoying looks."

"I'll fire him if he ever thinks of even looking at you lustfully or tries to flirt with you. No one has any right to love my wife except me, I'll take care of him sensibly."

I smiled in relief.

The car started. Thankfully, the church was close to the airport so we got there fast and into Kade's personal airplane, ready for our honeymoon journey.

"Oh my gosh, my darling Lila is finally married, I'm so happy for her." I was more than blissful this evening. I couldn't stop dancing though there was no music. "Isn't it funny how our best friends are also married to each other?"

"Yeah, it's so cute." I hugged him, resting my head on his chest. "I'm also very happy for Nikita. She's now sticking to that Rob guy. Love has overridden her other desires." "He was Jovi's ex-boyfriend, right?"

"Yeah."

"I love you so much, mi Amor." He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you more." I snuggled closer to his chest.

The car pulled over in front of our mansion but I wasn't ready to let go of him.

"Imogen, we have to get out of the car now."

"No." I whined, placing my leg over his to be closer to him.

"So you're going to remain like this forever?"

"Maybe,"

"We have to go in now, I'm so tired from such a long day. I need to sleep."

-"but I don't want to go." I raised my head to him, pouting.

"You're so cute." He burst into laughter.

"Please stay a little longer cuddling me." I said in a child-like tone.

"In the car? Stop being such a baby. Speaking of babies, poor Tristan must be crying so much."

My eyes widened and I jerked away from him. "Oh my gosh, my prince must need a lot of breast milk now." I cupped my boobs.

"Why did you just do that?" He wondered.

"I think I observed that this happens whenever he cries." I quickly got out of the car and he did the same, placing his hand on my waist as we walked towards the door. "So now you don't want to be all cuddly?" He chuckled.

"I want to but I miss Tristan so damn much. We can cuddle later tonight. I can't believe I spent an entire day without him. Do you know how that is for me and my body?"

"Isn't she the same person who was crying a couple of months ago about being scared of being a bad mother? Guess who's the best Mom now?" He chuckled.

"I was so scared when I found out that I was pregnant but now it's different, I feel like a good mother and with your love and support, you make me feel like the best Mom ever.

"I'm glad I do." He said. The door was already opened a bit. "How could they have been so careless to leave the door open?" He pushed the door open wider then shut and locked it after we got in. "I'm so tired." I yawned, stretching my arms above my head while we left for up the stairs.

"Stella," I called but there was no response.

We went to Tristan's bedroom, the door was also opened, widely opened.

I got in but there was no Tristan here. His crib had fallen to the floor with his clothes and diapers (both new and dirty) around. "Where's Tristan?" I asked no one in particular.

"Stella probably put him to sleep in our bedroom." He said and we started walking to our room while he called Stella's phone.

We left for our bedroom. Neither Tristan nor Stella was in here, making my heart start to race.

"Stella isn't answering her phone either."

"What?! Where can she be?" I screamed nervously, my head was pounding and I started running around the house. "Imogen, wait!" Hames exclaimed, running behind me.

I checked every room in the house but there was no sign of Tristan or Stella.

I ran to the living room with Hames still following behind me.

"Daisy!" I screamed. That was the only maid's name I could remember since she was in charge of the maids for now.

"Please calm down, Imogen." He was calling Stella's phone again but this time, her phone was switched off. "Calm down?!" I chortled in disbelief.

Daisy came running out of her room. "Yes, ma'am. Is there any problem?"

"Where is Stella and my son, Tristan?"

"The nanny?"

"Yes, the nanny!" I hollered.

"Uh... she... she left... a few hours ago... with Tristan." She stuttered nervously. "She what?!"

"She left."

"Hames, she wasn't supposed to go anywhere with Tristan, wasn't she?"

"Of course not. How could you let her leave?"

"She said you had asked her to bring Tristan to you, she showed me the message you sent to her."

"And you believed her?!" I barked, slapping her across the face really hard due to excessive fear. "If we wanted him to go somewhere, wouldn't we have taken him along with us?" "I'm sorry, ma'am." She trembled.

"Imogen, calm down."

I glared at him. "Calm down? When my baby is missing, I should calm the fuck down?!" Tears started rolling down my face really fast.

There was no way this was happening. Our lives were finally going great, this nonsense couldn't happen again. How on Earth could my Tristan be missing?
