My thoughts were interrupted when Dad and Sebastian walked inside.His expression was cold and angry , but I still saw the fear...It wasn't just him.

It was just like relieving mom and Jenny's death once again.

Gracie and my daughter were still in the hand of whoever that bastard was.

But I was the one who gave them the opportunity they had been waiting for , if we hadn't had that fight then...

"Nothing from there, I think whoe..." Sebastian's words trailed off when my cellphone rang aloud.

It was from an unknown number, my whole body set in high alert as I clicked on the answer button.

No sound came, it sent my nerves even more tensed .

"Who is this!" I clenched out, but still I got no response.

After a moment I heard a loud voice.

"You fool!What did you do!" the sound was followed by a loud crashing sound accompanied by a loud terrifying scream.

The line went dead.

I recognized the angry voice.

It belonged to Robert.

It set the wheels in my head in high alert, Shawn's death...Melissa's car..The warning Gracie had told me Melissa gave her....

Oh shit!

Why hadn't I considered everything before, it would only make sense.

"What was that ?"Dad and Sebastian shot out the same time.

"We have to look for Robert now!"

Any thoughts?

Chapter SEVENTY FIVE

GRACIE

"What did you do!" he screamed, his face contorted with raw fury .

The phone was flung from my hands before I could even utter a word to Hayden , it was sent flying against the nearest wall with a loud crash.

He backhanded her hard twice across the face , she fell gracelessly to the hard floor , a whimper escaping her lips.

The harsh mark of an ugly bruise was beginning to form below her left eye, there was blood stain running down her nostrils.

He kicked her repeatedly like a ragdoll, earning a loud scream from me.

"Stop it!"

I fought against the binds on my foot in futility.
