Chapter 3

Sydney was greeted with silence for a moment before a smooth British accent came through.

"I believe my daughter is with you at the moment correct." Sydney was stunned the arrogance present in his voice chilling Sydney to the core and at the same time her blood boiled.

"yes that's right" Sydney spoke in an unsure voice, not knowing what to expect.

"I don't know what you have done to her, but rest assured you will be sorry." The threat was loud and clear and Sydney was shocked.

"Excuse me?" Sydney questioned not sure she heard right.

"You heard me, what is it going to cost to get my daughter back?"

"n…n..nothing" Sydney stuttered

"You kidnap my daughter and you don't want anything in return?" the voice mocked from the other end of the phone but the chilliness of the voice remained making Sydney uneasy.

"KIDNAP?" Sydney was almost hysterical

Sydney looked down at Anna a confused expression on her face.

Sydney wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, she was being accused of kidnapping and the voice at the other end of the line did not sound forgiving. Gathering all her strength Sydney spoke into the phone in her coldest tone.

"You listen to me, I found your daughter at the market, after your incompetent nanny let her out of her sight! I have looked after you daughter all afternoon and when I suggested that I take her home she refused. Do you want to know why?" Sydney mocked.

Not waiting for an answer Sydney continued.

"I'll tell you why…..She doesn't want to be shipped off to some boarding school where she will be left til some holiday when the NANNY will come and collect her. Now I suggest you get yourself down to the markets and pick up your daughter before someone really does kidnap your daughter or worse she runs away and no one will find her and return her to you." And with that Sydney hung up the phone and sunk down on a nearby bench.

15 minutes later Sydney had gathered her emotions together to look up. Anna was sitting next to her watching the late evening commuters make their way home from work. Anna said nothing at first content with the silence, Sydney closed her eyes and wished her headache away.

Anna was the first to break the silence.

"He said no didn't he?" Annas voice laced with disappointment.

"Yeah he did" Sydney sighed not really wanting to relive the conversation.

Sydney looked over at Anna, the little girls eyes shimmering with tears and her bottom lip quivering.

"I'm sorry Anna. Your dad will be here soon to get you."

"NO" Anna screamed, causing people passing by to look in their directions.

"I'm not going home with him, he will send me away…" Anna's voice fading away as her sobs took over.

"Come here Anna" Sydney pulled her into her lap, whispering soothing words while stroking her hair.

Anna's sobs died down and she continued to hug Sydney. Sydney closed her eyes grateful that Anna hadn't caused too much of a scene and was now content to sit in her lap watching the people walk by.

"DADDY?" Anna squealed as she spotted her father standing just a few meters away watching the interaction between Anna and the Sydney.

Sydney's eyes snapped open to be greeted with a pair of chilly blue eyes watching her from across the street. Sydney gulped, he was gorgeous his blonde hair long enough to curl at the ends, Sydney could only image what it would be like to run her hands through his mass of locks STOP IT she mentally scolded herself. He was a strong build with strong shoulders and a tall frame. Dressed in what Sydney could only guess was Armani the black suit was tailored to fit his body, the blue oxford completing his look and bringing out the brightness of his blue eyes.

Sydney noticed that he hadn't moved his eyes off her, refusing to meet his gaze Sydney turned to see Anna jump down off the bench and run across the street to meet her father.

The man saw his daughter move and fixed his gaze on the bounding 6 year old running towards him. Sydney watched as the man lifted the girl up into his arms and swing her round, bright smiles on both their faces.

Sydney got up off the bench, it seemed too private a moment between father and daughter to interrupt. Sydney turned and left the scene, blending into the crowd as she made her way back to the hotel, where once inside her room she let the tears fall. He loves her Sydney thought, She would have given anything for her father to love her like that, to hug her or show emotion.

Drawing a bath Sydney washed away the pain of the days events. All she had to do now was get the image of the gorgeous young man with striking blue eyes and his lovable daughter out of her mind. Obviously London wasn't the best place to come.

Sitting back in the taxi as it headed towards her Aunt Katya's house in Russia, Sydney thought back on the last few days, she had spent them in London wondering aimlessly around trying to forget the blue eyed man and his daughter. Finally giving up Sydney decided to book a flight to Russia and visit her Aunt Katya, it had been months since her last visit to Russia and Sydney thought she might finish her holiday here before taking a teaching job nearby so she could spend more time with her Aunt. Ever since her mother had died her Aunt Katya had become like a mother to her, and had always begged her to come and stay with her.
