Book:Her Lost Love Published:2024-5-1

BRANDEN
Catherine had already phoned me earlier on, she made it clear that she would be absent tonight therefore the dinner date has to be rescheduled.
This was the least of my issues, I was very worried about Diana, different negative thoughts played like a horrific movie in my head.
“Hi it’s Diana I’m unavailable at the moment please leave a message” the voicemail played in my ears. Damn it! Diana pick up!
I hope she’s alright. I sped up trying to quickly arrive at her house. On sighting her apartment I halted to a stop, stepped down from the car and walked over to the front door.
Curiosity had it’s strong hold on me, I couldn’t function well, I knocked the door aggressively, eagerly expecting Diana to open the door.
A voice responded to my violent knocks on the door, I felt a little relaxed, atleast if someone is home then Diana should be home.
She’s probably sleeping or her phone isn’t with her but I’m very sure that the familiar voice I just heard doesn’t belong to Diana.
Jane pulled the door, greeted respectfully and embraced me. Distress was written all over my face, it was almost impossible to hide it.
“Is something wrong?” Jane inquired.
“Where is Diana?”
“Diana? I thought she was with you. She said she was going for a dinner date with you” Jane said.
“Shit! This means she is not home, did you see her go anywhere after leaving the house?”
“No but there was a car she walked up to when she left the house but I thought the car was yours that’s why I went inside the house” she said.
“No It’s not mine! Fuck! Her phone isn’t going Shit!” I exclaimed.
In terror I attempted to walk back to my car
“Where are you going to” Jane questioned.
“To find her”
“I’m coming with you”
“No stay here and lock the doors”
“I’m not staying here, she’s my sister I have to find her too”
“Ok fine get in” I sighed and rushed into the car with Jane.
Diana is in serious danger, how can i have let this happen, all of this is my fault. If I had come much earlier I’m sure I would have taken her myself.
I should have fucking bought her a car, now I don’t know where she is. Fuck! I’m so stupid. My heart began to palpitate, I picked up my phone and dialed a special agent’s number.
“Hello sir” the agent uttered.
“Mike, there’s a big problem. I need you to find somebody, she’s lost. I’ll send you her pictures, just fucking find her tonight, send all your men”
“Don’t worry about the pay I’ll give any amount you want, just find this woman”I added.
“Alright sir we are on it”
“I need you and your men out there right now!” I ended the call, frustrated and angry.
Who dares to harm Diana, that person has to come through me first. I will never allow anything happen to her.
I drove from street to street, peering my head to find Diana but to no avail she was nowhere to be found. I was tempted to step down from the car but I can’t leave Jane here all alone, if they know Diana then they probably know Jane. Someone is doing this because they are trying to get to me, I’ll make sure to behead whoever tried this nonsense.
Diana is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I won’t let anybody or anyone take her away from me, if I have to drive through the whole of Georgia to find Diana I’ll do it.
I sent Diana’s picture to the special agent and continued my search.

“Where is the girl?” The head of the goons yelled.
“We lost her” the goons fell to the floor and begged. “We are sorry, we chased her but she hid somewhere and that’s how we lost her”
The head of the goons laughed and seized his laughter immediately.
“So you mean to tell me that a young lady escaped you both? As big as you both are, you couldn’t capture someone who is probably half your size” He sat and frowned at them.
“If you fuck this up for us, I’ll make sure to end your life, now what do you want me to tell boss? That she escaped your hold? You’re both pathetic. Get the hell out of my sight! And don’t come back without that girl” He yelled.
The two men stood up and ran out of the abandoned building.
“I can’t believe this two fools!” the head of goons exclaimed, he bent over, placed his nose on the table and sniffed the last piece of cocaine left.
“Boss is probably expecting a feedback, she’s going to yell and scream but I’ll have to inform her” he picked up his phone and dialed Catherine’s number, after few rings she picked up her cell.
“What is it? Is the just done?” Catherine questioned.
“Sorry boss, the job isn’t done. She escaped” The goon said.
“Are you insane, how did she escape? Don’t fucking call me until that girl is found, I want her caught before midnight or else I’ll have your and men’s throat for dinner, is that clear?” Catherine yells and hanged up angrily.
She had sent this men to find and kidnap Diana. Diana was already an obstacle on getting Branden. Catherine hungered to sweep her off or probably even kill her.
Catherine had sent spies to get the location of Diana’s apartment and after getting the location they proceeded with the mission.
With almost a perfect strategy as this, Catherine had failed to accomplish this mission and if something isn’t done fast the whole plan will crumble.
Branden was always her dream man, even in a hundred years she would never get over Branden. Her love for him became a deadly obsession, she was willing to end the lives of anyone that dared to stand in the way between her and Branden.
“If those men don’t find Diana and Branden finds out that she’s missing, he’ll make every attempt to find her”
“If Branden finds her first we are screwed, Branden might find those men I sent and investigate on them, I just can’t let that happen. At all cost this girl must be captured tonight” Catherine said to herself.
Branden, his special agents, Jane and Catherine’s goons were all searching for Diana that night, it was a disturbing night, Branden had even involved the FBI to quickly investigate on her whereabouts.
He was hell bent on getting Diana that night and literally nobody would stop him, no matter how many hours he needed to use in finding her, he would spend it all.
