Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 138

Third Person’s P.O.V.

“I am telling you the truth. I didn’t kidnap her. I… I couldn’t do this because… if something happens to her… then I will lose my chance to get the property. She is still under the guardianship of her aunt, and … and… my attorney said that … if something happens to her now, then.. then her property will go to her guardian,” John cried while explaining the reason why he couldn’t kidnap Violet. He was so scared and was panicking continuously. Two investigators who were sitting with her in the interrogation room looked at each other and then back to him. He was sweating furiously, and fear was written all over his face.

“She… she is my daughter… my.. my own b***d… we … we have differences but… but it doesn’t mean th.. that I will do something like this to her. I… I also want her to come back. Please replace her,” he cried again, and this time, tears filled his eyes. The police arrested him at his house in the morning. He was startled when he learned why they arrested him. He tried to make them understand that he was not behind the kidnapping but they didn’t listen to him and brought him to the police station. “Her guardian and her adoptive parents complained that you threatened them a few days ago,” one of the investigators said in a calm tone. John immediately nodded his head furiously. “Yes… yes… I threatened them.. I threatened Samantha and… and Mr. Parker… but I never say a word to Violet. You… you can testify this from them. I … I never said that I would hurt her,” he answered, and they looked at each other again.

They shared a look and one of them stood up. He went out of the room while dialing the number of the investigator from the other city. The whole interrogation was also seen by Mr. Parker and the investigator there. “What to do now?” he asked the main investigator of this case. The incharge looked at Mr. Parker. “He is telling the truth. He never threatened Violet because we never let him meet her. And …(he sighed while rubbing his head)… in fact, he never said that he would hurt her or would do anything to harm her,” he told the in-charge while rubbing his head. “Keep him in your custody for the time being and investigate his bank accounts and phone log. See if we get anything suspicious,” the in-charge instructed another person before cutting off the line.

Mr. Parker was now furious about his own helplessness. It had already been five hours since the kidnapping and they were still clueless. He was worried about Violet. Ethan and Kyle were still unconscious and he decided to replace someone to open Kyle’s phone. “I need a favor, Mr. Vincent,” he asked the in-charge who immediately raised his brows. “Uhhh… I need someone to open my son’s phone,” he told him further and Mr. Vincent narrowed his eyes in confusion. “Something happened with her a few days ago, and he put a tracker in her pendant. His friend told me that he has an app to track that tracker,” he told him briefly, and all the lines on Mr. Vincent’s forehead straightened immediately.

“Then what are we waiting for? We have experts who can open his phone,” Mr. Vincent immediately dialed someone’s number in his phone while telling to Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker sighed internally and then dialed his wife’s number. “Did you replace her?” Mrs. Parker immediately asked him in an anxious tone. He closed his eyes because he knew that his negative answer would break her heart more. “Did they wake up?” he asked her instead of answering her. “No… not yet.. the… the doctor said that they would wake soon,” she answered him in a choked voice because she got her answer. Tears were still flowing down from her eyes. “Stay strong, Rose…. We have to stay strong for our kids. They need us. Keep your hopes up… “I’m sure we’ll replace her soon,” he tried to reassure his wife, but clenched his jaw when he heard her sob.

He hung up because he couldn’t stand her cries. “He is coming and will be here in half an hour,” Mr. Vincent informed him, and he nodded. “Just stay strong, Violet…. I will be there soon,” he said to Violet in his heart. Mr. Westfield and Violet’s mother were also on the way here. Samantha and Victor were also coming there. Samantha just reached her home when she got the news of Violet’s kidnapping. She was no better than Mrs. Parker. She felt that she had failed to protect Violet. Among everything, the main question was why had someone kidnapped her? No one got any call related to ransom or any other demand. They just vanished into thin air with her.

Every passing second was like an eternity for everyone, especially for Samantha and Mrs. Parker. Every boy from both volleyball and football teams were using their parents’ connections and sources to locate her. Mr. Knight and Mr. Parker also contacted their contacts in the other world to get any information on the kidnappers. They were doing everything to get any information but it seemed that they were out of luck for now. Mr. Parker called Mr. Knight. “Bring Kyle’s phone to the police station. Mr. Vincent has called someone who can open his phone,” he asked Mr. Knight in a calm tone. “I will be there soon,” Mr. Knight answered him briefly and they both hung up. “Please sit down, Mr. Parker,” Mr. Vincent requested Mr. Parker as he was still standing at one side of the corridor. Mr. Parker looked at him blankly but sat down on the chair that Mr. Vincent offered him after thanking him in a low tone.

Meanwhile, Mr. Knight also started investigating Mrs. Knight. His hunch about her involvement in this kidnapping was getting stronger in his heart and he didn’t want to take any risk by avoiding this hunch. He wished that he should be wrong about his wife but deep down in his heart, he had this fear too that it could be true and then what would he do with his wife. The worst part was how Kyle would take this information. He didn’t tell anyone about the tracker in Violet’s pendant and also asked Axel to keep his mouth shut. “What happened?” Mrs. Knight asked him curiously when he stood up from the couch after hanging up his call.

“I am going to the police station. They have arrested her father and now they want our written complaint against him,” he lied to her while taking his jacket from the couch. Mrs. Knight glared hard at him and stood up with him as she was also sitting with him on the couch. She grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room as she didn’t want to talk with him in front of Rose and the other boys present in the room. “What are you doing?” Mr. Knight tried to remove his hand from her grip but she tightened her grip on his fingers. She released his hand when they reached the other side of the corridor. “Why are you involving yourself in this case, huh? It’s not like we have any kind of relationship with that girl,” she scolded him and he looked at her with disbelief.

“That… girl… is your son’s girlfriend, Natalie. Our son loves her,” he answered her while looking at her in disbelief. She scoffed and looked in the other direction. “I know my son. He is not stupid to have a girlfriend like her. He is .. is.. just passing his time with her. We will take him back home once he gets discharged from here. He has a bright future but that girl is not with him in his future plans,” she replied to him in a disgusting tone and Mr. Knight clenched his jaw in anger. “Are you behind this, Natalie?” he asked her in straight words while looking at him accusingly. “Huh?” Mrs. Knight was startled by his allegation, and her eyes widened in shock. “Ar… are you doubting me?” she asked him in shock while pointing a finger toward her chest.

“Yes, I am doubting you, and let me clear one more thing for you, Natalie. That girl is also a daughter figure to me,” he answered her in a stern and cold tone and took a step closer to her. He locked his gaze on her, which made her gulp hard in fear. “Pray for her, Natalie, and also that I am wrong about your involvement in this case, because trust me… if… if I get anything which tells me that you are involved in this kidnapping, you will regret this. You will lose not only your son but your husband too,” he threatened her in a very cold tone. She stared at him dumbfounded. He didn’t stop there any longer and stormed towards the elevator. He had to reach the police station as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Mrs. Knight was dumbfounded by her husband’s threat. She couldn’t believe that her husband threatened her for Violet. She stayed glued to her position for a while. She took a deep breath and moved her neck in a circle before looking at a blank point in front of her eyes. Her eyes were cold now and the hatred for Violet increased in her heart. “Mrs. Knight,” she looked in the direction of the voice and rolled her eyes. “Why are you still here?” she asked Sia in disdain and started walking towards the room again. “You are not behind this, right?” Sia asked him in a hopeful and low tone.

Mrs. Knight stopped in her track and looked in her direction coldly. “Stay out of this, Sia. I am grateful to you for helping my son at that crucial time, but it didn’t give you the authority to question me. You already know that you don’t have any future with my son. So, just mind your own business and stay away from him,” she threatened Sia, and Sia scoffed in disdain this time. “Yeah… you are right…. You are right that I have no future with Kyle. But do you think that Kyle will return to you if something happens to Violet?” Sia questioned her in an accusing tone, and Mrs. Knight shot daggers at her through her eyes but it didn’t scare Sia.

Sia took a few more steps towards Mrs. Knight while clasping her hands behind her back. She had a mocking smile on her lips. “Kyle hates me from the bottom of his heart because of Violet, Mrs. Knight, and I know very well that Kyle will never like me, no matter what I do to win his trust. Now I want to see if he hates you with the same intensity or not when he comes to know that you are the one behind Violet’s kidnapping,” Sia mocked her with a nasty smirk on her lips. Mrs. Knight widened her eyes in shock and Sia scoffed before going away from Mrs. Knight. Mrs. Knight balled up her fists on the sides of her body and closed her eyes to calm herself.

Sia stopped outside Kyle’s room and peaked at him from outside. Tears started building up in her eyes when she saw him still sleeping. She hated Violet from the bottom of her heart, but she wanted Violet back with Kyle because she didn’t want to see Kyle broken. She pursed her lips into a thin line and wished Kyle to get well soon before leaving them. She had no work there now. She also asked her father to use his sources to replace Violet. Love hurts so much sometimes, and she knew that she was on the receiving end this time. She wiped her tears while walking towards the elevator.

At the same time, somewhere inside an abandoned building, Violet was lying unconscious on the floor. Her hands and legs were tied and the b***d had dried all over her face and on her neck. She had a deep wound on her head but no one cared to take care of her wound. The weather was still not that cold but her body started getting cold because of her condition. She was all alone there as the kidnappers left her there alone to die. Their job was to kidnap her and keep her in captivity until the next instruction. Their leader got a phone call from the person who contacted him about this abduction. The person instructed them to leave Violet there, as the police had got the clue about her whereabouts. The kidnappers had already gotten their money, and they had no intentions of saving Violet. So, they left her in the farthest, darkest corner of the room. She had no chance to survive on her own here.

In the hospital, Ethan g*****d in pain while trying to open his eyes, but the pain in his head made him close his eyes again. “Ethan,” Mrs. Parker cried in relief when she heard him groaning in pain. She immediately came near to him and put her hand on his hand. “Call the doctor,” she yelled at Noah, who was standing on the other side of his bed. Ethan slowly tried to open his eyes but blinked harder and closed his eyes again when the intensity of the light in the room pierced his eyes. “Mom,” he called his mom in a hoarse voice. “Yes… yes, Ethan… I .. I am here, son… I am here,” she immediately took his hand in her hands.

“Here…. Give him some water,” Dustin immediately gave her a glass of water for Ethan. She nodded and took the glass from his hand. Dustin went to Ethan and slid his hand under his neck. “I am pulling you up, Ethan, so that you can drink some water,” he told Ethan before pulling his upper body up from the bed. Ethan g*****d in pain again and held the back of his head. He felt some swelling there but was confused about his condition. “Here… drink some water,” Mrs. Parker urged him in a cautious and low tone. She made him drink some water. He drank the warm water greedily as his throat was completely dry.

Noah came back with the doctor and the doctor immediately approached Ethan. Mrs. Knight was now standing beside Kyle’s bed and the worry inside her heart deepened when she saw Ethan waking up but Kyle was still unconscious. She held her son’s hand in her hands and looked at him with a tearful gaze. Despite the fact that Kyle had no serious injuries, his unconsciousness worried her. Ethan slowly opened his eyes and tried to recall what happened to him. “Mr. Knight… where are you feeling the pain now?” the doctor asked him about his condition. He looked at the doctor and was about to answer him when his gaze fell on Kyle lying on the bed.

“Kyle,” he yelled and tried to get off the bed, but the doctor and Dustin held him back on the bed by grabbing his shoulders. “Wh… what happened to him? Whe… where is Violet?” he yelled asked Noah in panic and tried to remove his grip from his shoulders. “Calm down, Ethan… calm down first,” Dustin yelled at him while holding him tightly in his embrace. Ethan immediately glared at him but Dustin didn’t leave him. “Remember someone attack you from behind when you were walking in the parking lot with Kyle and Violet this morning?” Dustin asked him and Ethan narrowed his eyes.

He hissed once again due to pain in his head but recalled his last memories. “Wh… where is Violet, Dustin? Mom…. Where is Violet?” he yelled when he remembered someone grabbing Violet’s arm before he lost consciousness. Mrs. Parker looked at him helplessly with a tearful gaze. “Someone kidnapped her, Ethan,” Noah answered him instead of Mrs. Parker. Mrs. Parker sobbed harder while putting her hands on her mouth. Ethan’s eyes widened in shock and he looked at everyone inside the room in a hope that they were doing some prank on him. “No, no, no,… it can’t be… you are joking, right?” he asked Noah nervously while holding Dustin’s hands tightly on his chest. Noah gave him a helpless look.

“Someone attacked you three and left you and Kyle in the parking lot unconscious but took Violet away. It has already been six hours to the incident but we don’t have any clue about Violet’s whereabouts,” Noah told him the whole situation in a low tone. Ethan felt that someone had knocked all the air out of his lungs when the realization hit him. “No… no… th.. this can’t be,” he uttered in a cracked tone but the condition of his mother and the sad faces of his friends were enough to tell him that it did happen. “Please let me examine you, Mr. Knight,” the doctor requested him but Ethan was in a daze.

“I… I am having just a headache and a little pain at the back of my head… nothing else,” he told the doctor in a cracked tone and looked at Kyle. The doctor nodded and then looked at Mrs. Parker. “Call me if he complains of any other pain,” he said to Mrs. Parker after taking Ethan’s vital. “Where is dad, mom?” he asked Mrs. Parker and Dustin slowly released him from his grip. “He is at the police station with Kyle’s father,” she told him about the whereabouts of both fathers. He nodded and then slowly stood up from the bed. “He has to wake up,” he muttered while walking towards Kyle’s bed. Both Noah and Dustin held him when Ethan’s legs wobbled a little. “I… I am fine… he… he has to get up now,” Ethan muttered again and reached Kyle’s bed.
