Thanks for all the reviews! Lots of Juicy info in this chapter! Enjoy!
Eddie POV:
While Mel was upstairs, I went over to Loren who was sitting on the couch in the living room eating ice cream and watching 'A Walk to Remember'. Her eyes were glued to the TV. She was sitting on a black leather couch under Kylie's big blanket with her feet tucked under her. She was surrounded by tissues and in her hands was a small size bucket of Cookie's and Cream ice cream. Every time Loren and Mel were having a hard time they'd eat ice cream and watch movies with Ryan Gosling or other sad movies. I walked over to Loren and wrapped my arms around her neck from the back. I kissed her neck and she turned around and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I pulled her up so I can get access to her mouth better. The kiss was getting intense so I reluctantly broke the kiss because I need to talk to Loren. Joe told me something and I might be heading to Brazil in a couple of days to find Kylie.
Eddie: "Hey, babe. How you feeling?" I said while rubbing my hands up and down her sides.
Loren: Her arms were around my neck and she said "Well . . . eh . . . earlier today I told Mel to go get me something from the store and I'm pregnant." She searched my eyes for any signs of angry but found none because I was actually happy.
Eddie: "I'm glad and the baby might be a boy this time." We walked over to the couch and sat down. I pulled Loren onto my lap.
Loren: "Mel said we could call him Noah. I like it. What do you think?"
Eddie: "I think it's awesome." I leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips and then rubbed her belly. How am I supposed to tell her that I to go to Brazil and get our daughter back? Loren laid her head on my shoulder and we sat in silence. I thought about my conversation with Joe earlier and the phone call I got on my way here.
(Flashback)
After I dropped Loren off at Mel's house, I headed back to the penthouse and waited for Joe. I looked around the house and my eyes landed on a picture that was on the floor. The picture frame was broken so I took the picture out and studied it. Loren was holding Kylie while I had my hands around her waist. The picture was taken on our family vacation to Hawaii. A tear drop landed on the picture and it was mines. "I'm going to find you princess." My phone was ringing and it was Mel. I talked to her and she told me somehow Cam knew about Kylie's disappearances which was weird because I knew Loren would tell him or me plus I didn't even call the cops. I heard a knock on the door and opened it. In front of me was my dad and Joe, my dad's private investigator.
Joe: "Hello, Eddie. Nice to see you again." He shook my hand and walked in.
Pops: "So where's Loren?" My father was really concerned about Loren. He treated her like she was his own daughter. Sometimes I wondered if he liked her than me. Joking just trying to lighten up the mood.
Eddie: "She's staying with Mel for a while because she couldn't sleep here tonight after you know." I hated saying my daughter was kidnap. I wish on of this ever happened. I wish Kylie was here talking about her day with Ma and Pops and back to the life we were living. Where we were happy.
Joe: "Okay, I'm going to look around." Joe went upstairs and looked around in both rooms. I turned around and looked at Pops. He gave me a questioning look.
Max: "Ed, do you have any ideas who want to take Kylie or want to hurt you?"
Eddie: "No, Pops. I haven't seen Chloe in months and Tyler and I are kind of cool . . . only two people who I've had problems with in the past."
Max: "What about Loren? Anyone who would want to hurt her?"
Eddie: "I have no idea. Life has just been pretty great for us. But Mel told me something that was really weird."
Max: "What'd she say?" I could hear the curiosity in his voice.
Eddie: Before I could answer Joe came down stairs with something in his hand. "What's that?" I walked over to where he was standing at the bottom of the stairs and Pops followed me.
Joe: "Well I searched Kylie's room and found a secret camera on her wall in the corner. It was so tiny I had to use these magnifying glasses to see it. I traced the tiny cord that was painted over to match the color of her walls and it lead me to the guess room. Is there anyone who has used to guess room?"
Eddie: "Only the nanny, Leah. She stays here during the weekends because Lo and I go to these press conference thing. Besides her no one."
Joe: "Does Leah have any issues with any of you? Maybe Loren?"
Eddie: "Not that I know of. Leah loves Kylie like her own. Maybe you should ask Loren. What's that in your hand?" One of the men that took Kylie must have dropped something.
Joe: "Well one of them dropped this necklace on the floor. It was next to Kylie's bed and I think Kylie ripped it off the person. It has the letter's E+C in the shape of a heart." I took the necklace and examined it. I've seen this before. I just can't remember where. I turned around to face Joe.
Eddie: "Hey, guys this look so familiar to me. I just can't remember where I've seen this."
Max: "Really? Where?"
Eddie: "I can't remember all I know is it belongs to a girl."
Max: "How can you tell?"
Eddie: "Pops, it's pink." I said in a 'you should know that look.'
Joe: "About the camera I'm going to take the memory card to see what's on it. I'll be back tomorrow to tell you what I've found." He found some info on the memory card. We found out the name of the people who too Kylie and what they plan on doing.
Eddie: "Thanks Joe. Oh come by this address tomorrow because I won't be here." I gave him a slip of paper with Mel's address on it. Then he left and Pops left to.
On my way to Mel's house I got a phone call from someone I didn't know.
((Phone conversation)) *still part of the flashback*
Eddie: "Hello?"
Person: "Duran, how's the search going?" I know the person was smirking on the other end of the phone.
Eddie: "Where's my daughter?" Anger had taken over me and I was speeding like crazy.
Person: "Relax Duran, she's in good hand." Those were the same words that the person who talked to me earlier said. The only way I'll relax is knowing my daughter is right next to me and I kicked your ass then put you in jail. I pulled over in a store parking lot so I wouldn't cause a car accident or get pulled over by the cops.
Eddie: "I said 'where's my daughter'?" I was furious. I just wanted to reach through the phone and chock the life out of this person.
Person: "Listen Duran and listen closely."
Eddie: "Let me talk to my daughter." I was longing to hear her beautiful voice again. I just wanted to hear her voice so badly just to know she's okay.
Person: "One minute." I heard walking around then a door open. They're keeping her locked up in a room like she's a pet. "It's your father."
Eddie: "Kylie, princess . . . are you okay? Did they hurt you? I'm going to find you, okay? I'm doing everything I can to find you. Mommy and I love you so much."
Kylie: "I wuv you too daddy. Tell mommy I wuv her too . . . oh and daddy?"
Eddie: "Yes, princess?"
Kylie: "I miss you dad-" Before she could finish her sentence the person snatched the phone from her.
Peron: "Times up Duran, now listen. You are to come to Brazil in three day's with half a million dollars in exchange for the girl. Fail to bring the money I sell the girl or kill her and who knows what they'll do to her if I sell her. Oh and no funny business. If I see one cop or anything about this girl's disappearance on the news or tabloids you'll never see her again. Have a good night Duran."
Eddie: "If you hurt one hair on her head I promise you I will kill you!" I heard a click meaning the person hung up on me. All I was thinking about was how was I supposed to tell Loren all this.
(End of flashback and phone conversation)
I really need to tell her, but I don't want to worry her. I realized I was deep in thoughts for too long. Loren was sitting on my lap yelling in my face.
Loren: "Earth to Eddie Duran!"
Eddie: "Huh?"
Loren: "What were you thinking about babe?"
Eddie: Okay, this is it. I have tell her so I decided to start from the beginning. "Okay . . . I talked to Joe. He found a hidden camera in Kylie's room. He traced the cords and they led to the guess room."
Loren: "Eddie, what are you trying to say?" She pressed her eyebrows together and gave me a questioning look.
Eddie: "I don't know. . . Leah is the only one who's used that room and I know for a fact I didn't put it there. Did you?"
Loren: "Of course not! I know there's a lot of security around the building. Are you saying Leah had something to do with this?"
Eddie: "I don't know. . . I'm waiting to see what Joe found on the memory card, but did you have a problem with her." I noticed she couldn't look me in the eyes. She looked down and said nothing for a couple of seconds.
Loren: "Well . . . not exactly a problem, problem, but I don't like her."
Eddie: I was shock once again today. "I thought you liked her. Whenever she was around I didn't see any signs of trouble."
Loren: "Yeah, Eddie I did, but she just has this vibe around her." My mom felt a weird vibe when Chloe was around and she was right. "She's a great nanny, she loves Kylie like her own but something about her. Like she's not being truthful about who she is. I also don't like the way she flirts with you."
Eddie: "You're jealous aren't you?" I poked her sides and said "Well you have nothing to worry about." I kissed her softly but still filled with passion. "Because I have eyes for you only. The mother of my children."
Loren: "Okay, I believe you . . . so enough about Leah, what else did Joe say?" I noticed how quickly Loren changed the subject, but I just brushed it off.
Eddie: "Well he found a necklace in Kylie's room. It was a heart with the E+C written in the middle of the heart."
Loren: "What color was it?"
Eddie: "It was pink. Why you ask?"
Loren: "I've seen this heart somewhere with those letters."
Eddie: "Really? Where?"
Loren: "Well I don't remember everything that happened but I saw a familiar face. All I remember is that the person was a girl. She said 'I took what she loved so she'd take what I loved' and she was wearing that." I wonder who this person is.
Eddie: "Who do you think she is?"
Loren: "I honestly don't know."
Eddie: "Well after that he took the memory card and necklace to examine it." I didn't tell Loren about the phone call because I didn't want her to worry about what they were going to do to Kylie. She is carrying a baby so all this stress and worrying isn't good for her. But of course Loren knows me to well.
Loren: "Is that all?" She gave me a questioning look. "Eddie, what aren't you telling me? I promise I won't freak out."
Eddie: "You promised . . . So On my way here I got a call from the people who took Kylie. I talked to Kylie, Not for long also she said she love us." I looked at Loren and saw tears of Joy to know Kylie's okay but also tears of hurt then looked down. "Also, I need to be in Brazil in 3 days with half a million dollars. If I don't bring the money on time then bad stuff will happen." I didn't want to give Loren too much details about what they would do to Kylie. That would just worry her more. When I was done talking I didn't want to see how Loren was taking this but curiosity got the best of me and I looked at Loren. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Penny for your thoughts?"
Loren: "She got off my lap and said "I'm coming with you."
Eddie: "Babe, you can't come with me. This can be dangerous and did you forget you are with child?"
Loren: "I didn't forget okay. My baby is out there somewhere and I want to see her. So I'm coming." She stood next to the coffee table and crossed her arms over her chest.
Eddie: "Lo . . . It's too dangerous and I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you and this little one." I walked over to where she stood and put my hands on her waist.
Loren: "Eddie . . . I'm going. Me and the baby will be fine, Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment to find out if I really am pregnant and how far along. Please, Eddie? I won't do any of the dangerous stuff like with you when you bring the money, or anywhere you're going. I'll just stay in the hotel room and wait for you to come back with Kylie. I'll miss you too much and right now you're all I have that reminds me of Kylie."
Eddie: "Lo . . . I'll miss you too, but at least I'll know you're safe. You have your mom, Mel, and my parents. Lo. Please I just don't want you nothing to happen to you. I love you Lo."
Loren: "I love you too. I'm still coming." She wiped the tears that were fell down my cheeks. I really didn't want nothing to happen to Loren. She wiped the tears that weren't supposed to fall. The tears that I've been trying to hold in Crying was not going to bring my little back. She kissed my lips softly. I heard footsteps coming from down the stairs. I parted from Loren and we looked towards the stairway.
Mel: "Are you guys done? I'm hungry!" She looked at the distance between us which was like 2 feet apart. My hand were on Loren's waist.
Loren: "Do you guys want to go to my mom's house? We could have dinner there and she still doesn't know about all this.
Mel: "Alright let's go. I'm carving for some of Nora's Pecan Pie. . . I'm also worried about how she's going to take this news because like us she was very close to Kylie." With that we left on the way to Nora's.
Thank you for all the support. Please review and tell me what you think. In future chapters I will do one on the person who is behind all this and Kylie. Tell me what you think
