Did you ever love someone so much that mere thought of losing them makes you go crazy? Like if they are gone, nothing's left inside of you. Numb, empty, emotionless.

"Charles" a hand on my shoulder breaks me from my thoughts.

I looked up to see Brandon looking at me with concern.

"The doctor is here" he said, I jumped out of my seat and run towards the doctor.

"How's she? How is she doctor?" I asked anxiously..

"Mr Maxwell, she has lost too much blood. I really can't say anything right now. We are doing our best"

Anger.

I grab his collar, my face burning red.

"We are doing our best? Really? I came to the best fucking hospital of New York and this is what you say? How much money do you need?" Brandon kept pulling me back from my shoulder.

"Charles let go" I ignored Brandon

"Let me how much money do you need? Just do anything, anything. But make her alright" tears falling continuously, "just make her alright" Brandon pulled me in a hug, as I cried. I can't lose her. I can't lose her.

"I can't lose her Brandon"

"I know, I know. But the doctors are trying their best. Let them do their job okay. Just calm down" he rub my shoulder as I tried calming myself.

"I'm sorry. Just do whatever you need to do" I tell the doctor and walked out to get some fresh air.

"I know. I know Olivia has been kidnapped. And I can help you find her" Luke said

"What do you mean? How?" I asked her, my heart racing like horse.

"You might have known that it's Mariah who kidnapped her" we all nodded our head as we wait for him to continue, "i- I might hav-ve helped her in it"

Everything goes blank.

Nothing thinking, I punched him on face as he stumbled back clutching his jaw. Grabbing him by his neck.

"I will kill you. I will fucking kill you" I started chocking him when Kevin and Robert pulled me back

"If you kill him, you will never find Olivia" Robert grunted

"just hear him out" Kevin looked at me, making me nod

"I know where Olivia exactly is" Luke told us everything, how Mariah blackmailed Olivia by sending warning text but when Olivia ignored it. Mariah's men were continuously watching Olivia.

"She saw Olivia carrying you inside your place, then she hired two guys to kidnapped her when she walked out of your penthouse" he continues

Mariah kept Olivia into an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the forest, that's why we couldn't find her.

"We need to hurry up. She will kill her if we didn't reach on time" Luke pace around

"Why are you help us now? What changed your mind?" Freya asked him her face still wet with tears

"I love her"

I glared at him, I want to rip his throat out but we need him.

"Robert Kevin and I will go there first. Brandon you bring the cops there"

"What about me?" Aaron asked me

"You stay here with Sarah and Freya. If we need anything we will contact you. Let's go, we need to hurry"

I'm coming to get you, Liv. Hold on. I'm coming.

It took us an hour to drive and every minute I was growing more anxious. I hope she is alright. She has to be.

The tires screeches as we stopped a little far away from the warehouse. Kevin and Robert had their guns. As Kevin passed me one too.

"Calm your ass, rich dude. We don't want you to get shot" Robert snickers

"Care much?" I rolled my eyes

"Nah. If you die, who would pay me eh?" Kevin and Robert chuckled as I glared at them.

We slowly walked towards the gate, backing up when we heard a noise.

Scream.

It's Olivia

I walked forward but Kevin held me back..

"Don't. We have to-"

This time the scream was louder.

"Leave" I pushed his hands off and ran inside. Fuck fuck.

Be okay Olivia. I'm coming just hold on.

I kicked the door open,

"NO" I scream as I saw Mariah standing there looking down at the lying body pooled with blood

I felt Kevin behind me as he fired the gun, Mariah collapsed on the ground. I ran towards Olivia.

"Liv" I held her bruised face in my hands, her eyes closing down.

"Charles" she slowly whispered than losing conscious

"Fuck. No. Olivia" I patted her cheeks. I opened the rope and carried her in my arms.

"Kevin to the hospital. Now" I ordered loudly as we heard siren. Cops are here.

"Stay with me Liv" I held her hand, Brandon came running in with the cops. His eyes widened as he saw Olivia, he looked at me with teary eyes.

"You take her to the hospital, I will look after this mess" he patted my back as I walked towards the car carrying Olivia.

She has bruises all over her body, her clothes are tore apart. Deep knife cuts on her chest, legs and face.

What they have done to my Liv?

So much blood. Fear and worry filling up inside me.

We reached the hospital as doctor came rushing towards us.

"You have to stay outside" the nurse said as they closed the ICU door.

I was outside the hospital as I took deep breaths to calm myself. My phone started ringing, I took it out of my pocket..

"Brother, where are you? Did you find Olivia?" Sarah speak as soon as I answered the call

"Yeah we did find her. We are in hospital. She- she," I stopped as I couldn't speak any further

"We are coming right now. Mom is worrying about you, just call her okay"

Mom. Suddenly something clicked inside my brain.

Did father knew about this? About Mariah?

Not thinking straight I jumped into the car and drove off to my parents' house.
