《Forced To Marry Mr.CEO》Chapter 44

Toni sat on the living room couch with his family and detective Joan in the room with him. He sat there clenching and unclenching his fist, blocking out whatever they were saying as he glared out the window.

Jordan stood there continuing to talk to detective Joan. "Do you think Holly and Paul took Layla somewhere far?" He couldn't help but ask, causing Joan to sigh.

He nodded his head. "Possibly." He answered truthfully. "They know the police is after them and they don't want to get caught so they must've taken her somewhere far where no one could find them." He informed him, causing Jordan to frown at his response.

Jennifer continued to rub Lori's back in comfort as she continued to cry. Katherine looked over at Toni and frowned seeing him completely emotionless almost like the time when Travis ran away with that psycho. She walked up to him taking a seat beside him causing his head to snap over at her direction, she placed her hand onto his back.

"We'll find her." She reassured, he rubbed his face due to stress.

Kevin, Travis, and Drake tried calling a few other investigators that they know could help. "Alright, thank you." Kevin said, before hanging up the phone. He walked up to Toni causing his brother to look up at him. "I've called a few people they are willing to help." Kevin informed him, Toni looked back down not saying a word.

Gina soon entered the living room, with Kenny in her arms as she scanned everyone seated and comforting each other. She looked down completely upset, Kevin hesitantly walked up to her causing her to look up at him.

He silently took his son from her arms and placed a kiss to the side of his head. "Nothing?" Gina asked, hoping he'd say they found something but by the looks of it they didn't.

Kevin shook his head. "Not yet." He responded, the two both looked over at Toni who looked as if he was about to explode from mixed emotions.

Toni stood up from the couch causing Jordan and Jennifer to look over at him, he didn't make eye contact with anyone and headed towards the exit of the room. "Where are you going, son?" Jordan asked, causing Toni to slowly stop by the exit.

"Upstairs." He responded, coldly.

He walked out saying nothing more, he climbed up the stairs and froze when his eyes landed on their babies' room. He couldn't help but walk towards the room, opening the door to see the painted walls that Layla and him had painted. The boxes that carried the parts of the cribs were still unopened, he shut the door feeling a lump in his throat.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath, slumping down onto the ground with his back to the door. Tears slipped out of his eyes as he scanned the green and pink painted room, he clenched his jaw as the stinging pain in his heart had gotten worse.

He knew if something happened to any of them he's take the blame for not finding them sooner. If they even touched Layla he'd destroy the both of them, cause them worse pain that they caused her.

He froze when his phone vibrated, pulling out his phone looking down at the unknown number confused. He swiped his finger across the screen. "Hello?" He answered, but instantly froze when he heard the person's voice.

Layla was laying on the hard mattress holding onto her stomach, groaning in pain when she felt painful contractions greeting her stomach. She was worried about her kids, she gripped onto her stomach tightly breathing in and out heavily. "What's wrong?" She breathed out, rubbing her stomach. She was hoping her kid weren't harmed, she didn't want to lose these two too.

The door opened revealing Mary who had entered the room with the look of concern, she set the tray onto the wooden chair in the room before rushing towards her. "Layla? Are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

Layla didn't say anything as the pain slowly wore off. "I'm fine." She lied, leaning her back against the headboard of the bed, placing her hand onto her stomach. Her eyes flickering open and closed due to tiredness, she rubbed her stomach soothingly.

Mary scanned Layla's pale face, to see the dark circles under her eyes. She looked as if she lost more weight causing her face to look even skinnier than before. Mary was worried about her and her children knowing she hadn't eaten until yesterday. She couldn't help but feel pain in her heart staring at Layla who was completely hopeless and pale.

She was suffering. "I'll get you out of here as soon as I can. I promise you." She promised, causing Layla's eyes to flutter open.

She sent a weak smile to the woman in front of her. "You've already promised me that." Her voice was trembling, raspy, and completely weak.

Mary felt tears fall down her face when Layla's eyes fluttered shut once again. "I know but I'm going to continue promising you until I get you out." Layla didn't say anything, not being able to talk because of her weakness.

Mary leaned over, placing a kiss to her forehead before standing up and rushing out of the room. She walked up the stairs and headed towards the kitchen, keeping her head down when Paul stared at her suspiciously.

"Did she eat?" She heard Paul say causing her to stop at her step.

She turned around looking over at him. "She's completely weak. I don't think she'll be able to eat." She revealed, glaring at him but quickly shrugged off the hatred towards him. If she wanted to get Layla and herself out of this mess she'd have to play the good maid card.

Paul scanned Mary before nodding his head. "Go on. Do your job." He demanded. She turned around rolling her eyes as she walked towards the kitchen, shutting the door behind her.

She sucked in a shaky breath, pulling out a phone she found in Paul's room. She shakily opened the phone and clicked the dial app, once it opened she quickly dialed Toni's phone number attaching the ear to the phone, pacing back and forth in the kitchen as she glared at the door, hoping Holly nor Paul would come in and see her.

"Hello?" His broken voice came through the phone.

Mary frowned at his tone. "Toni." She breathed, hoping Toni wouldn't end the call when he recognizes her voice.

"Why the fuck are you calling me?" He snapped in anger, causing Mary's face to drop.

"Toni, I know you hate me but I don't have much time." She breathed out, glaring at the door. "I'm with Layla. Where Paul and Holly have taken her, she's completely weak Toni and I really need you to come get her quickly." Toni froze, standing up from his spot on the ground.

He quickly opened the door storming down the stairs and towards the living room. "Where is she?" He questioned, causing everyone to look at him confused.

Mary let out a shaky breath. "Quarry-wood. Almost out of town." She revealed, causing Toni's eyes to widen. "It's an old rotten house, at street 05. If you don't know ask people around they will tell you." She informed him, breathing in and out shakily.

"Alright. Alright." Toni repeated in a rush.

"Toni." Toni froze listening to her broken voice. "Please make it quick. I'm afraid something will happen to her, she was in pain earlier and she's grown so weak." Toni's heart shattered in pieces by her words.

"I'll be there." He quickly ended his phone, looking over at detective Joan. "Grab the rest of your crew I know where my wife is." Lori gasped in relief as Toni stormed out of the living room with Travis, Jordan, Kevin, Drake, and detective Joan following close behind him.

Joan took out his phone calling his crew to meet them near Broadway sign. "They're at Quarry-wood." Toni informed them, causing Detective Joan's eyes to widen.

"That's almost out of town." Travis said, in surprise.

"Wait!" Anna's voice was heard, as she rushed towards Travis, he looked over at her she wrapped her arms around him. "Please be safe." She whispered against his shoulder.

Travis chuckled. "I will." He reassured.

Anna sucked in a shaky breath, pressing a kiss against his lips. "I love you." His eyes widen at her confession.

He smiled at her. "I love you too." The pressed one last kiss before breaking a way from each other.

Jennifer stared at her kids and husband worriedly with Katherine by her side. "Please all of you be careful." She begged, Toni slowly nodded before climbing into the car and turning it on.

Jordan gave his wife a kiss before climbing into the passenger seat with the three boys climbing into the back as Detective Joan climbed in his own car and followed Toni when he drove off. "Let's go get this son of a bitch." Drake muttered, loading his gun with bullets.

"Don't shoot on purpose unless you want to get arrested." Kevin warned Drake, causing him to look over at him with a smirk.

"I know. I know." He said, causing Kevin to roll his eyes.

"Just don't shoot anyone unless needed, Drake." Jordan warned him this time.

Drake sighed, putting the gun in his waistband. Jordan glanced over at Toni who was deep in his thoughts as he continued to drive, his eyebrows quirked up when Toni slowly pressed more on the gas causing it to go faster. Whatever was running through his thoughts was making him go faster.

Layla reached for the glass water that Mary had brought for her, she took a few sips before placing it back onto the tray next to her, laying back down onto the bed, tears slipping down her face as she gripped her stomach that had small contractions. She groaned lowly as her eyes continued to flutter and closed from the weakness in her body.

The door opened causing her to look up and see Holly walking into the room with Paul trailing close behind her like a little pet. "How are my kids?" Holly asked, with a smirk on her face.

Layla had clutched onto her stomach tightly, glaring at the girl in front of her when pain continued to shoot through her stomach. Paul walked up to the weak girl, putting his hand under her chin making her turn her head away in disgust. "Aren't you a weak little girl." He commented, laughing.

Holly smirked at Layla's pale and weak state. "I love watching you suffer. And watching you give birth will cause me satisfaction since you're giving birth here with all the pain you can't take." She hummed, as she twirled around the room with a bright smile on her face. "I'm going to name my kids Jenny and Minnie." Layla glared at her with disgust.

She'd rather burn alive than let that evil witch name her children and take care of them. "You're psychotic!" Layla couldn't help but shout, causing Holly to stop twirling and looking at the girl with a maniac smile.

"I know that. I get that a lot." She laughed.

Layla shook her head in disbelief. "I guess being a psycho runs in the family." She glanced between the two of them, Paul glared down at the girl grasping her jaw making her gasp in pain.

"Say something like that again and I'll fuck you up! Bitch." He went to slap her but a loud sound came crashing from outside causing Holly and Paul to look at each other confused.

"What was that?" Holly questioned, with furrowed brows.

"Come on." Paul said, walking out of the room with Holly following close behind.

Mary came from behind the shadow with a smirk on her face as she rushed into the room they left unlocked. She rushed towards Layla causing the girl to look up at her. "Come on. We need to get you out of here." Layla looked at her shaking her head.

"No. It's dangerous." Mary sighed at the stubborn girl.

"Listen to me. I've planned many things, Toni is coming. I called him, we need to get you to safety." Layla's heart skipped a beat as Toni's name, nodding her head standing up on her weak legs.

Mary quickly held onto the weak in pain girl as she helped her walk out of the room, Layla clutched onto her swollen stomach in pain trying not to make a noise. "There is a backdoor." She pointed at the black metal door, she walked towards it quickly unlocking it before pushing the heavy metal door open.

Layla clenched her teeth in pain, as she slowly stopped walking when they were outside of the house. "I can't. It hurts." She whispered in pain.

Mary shook her head. "No, Layla we need to keep going." Layla nodded her head, as they continued walking again.

They heard screaming come from the house. "Where are you!? You slut!" She heard Holly's voice scream in the dark, close behind them.

They knew Holly and Paul couldn't see them because it was completely dark. Mary took Layla behind towards a dark alley way, Layla instantly held onto the wall, slumping onto the ground as she held her stomach, low groans escaping her lips. Her breathing was coming out like labor breathing, her chest was falling up and down.

"Ah!" A low scream escaped her lips when pain embraced her stomach. Mary looked at her worriedly, pushing her hair away from her face as she continued to groan and moan in pain. "M-Mary so-something is wrong." She breathed out.

Mary's attention got caught by cars driving by the silent, empty, abandon road. She stood up walking towards the exit of the alley, poking her head out to see police cars silently driving up to the rotten old house they held Layla hostage in.

Layla screamed loudly, catching Mary's attention. Mary ran towards Layla. "Listen, I'll come back for you. Toni is here." Layla's eyes brighten at her words. "I'll get him over here, okay?" Layla nodded her head, Mary stood up hesitantly walking away from the girl in pain.

She ran towards the police cars that were parked at the front, but no police nor Toni were anywhere to be seen. Their cars were there but they weren't, she looked at the rotten house knowing they went in there. She didn't know wither or not she should go or go back to Layla, she sucked in a breath turning around to go to the alley but a hand grasped her neck as a metal gun was pressed against her temple.

"Running away darling?" Paul's voice whispered in her ear, causing her to cringe. "You scream and I'll shoot you. Now tell me where the slut is." He demanded, as Mary struggled against his hold.

"I'd rather die than tell you where that girl is." She snapped, Paul grew angrier.

"You want to play that game?" He dragged her towards the rotten house, using her as a hostage. "I didn't know we'd be having guest." Paul said, as soon as he saw Toni and the others walking down the stairs.

The cops withdrew their guns. "Toni." Mary breathed out, as Toni looked at her with wide eyes.

"Ah. Ah. Ah. Drop your guns or I'll shoot her brains out." He demanded, causing the cops to slowly lower their guns. "Nice seeing you again, Toni." He smirked pointing his gun at him, Toni clenched his jaw in anger as he stared at the man with pure hatred.

Layla bit her lip, trying to contain her scream. Her head was pressed against the wall as her eyes flickered opened, she froze when she saw a shadow right in front of her. She gasped, moving away in fear but that was until the person bent down right in front of her.

"Travis." She breathed out, holding onto her stomach. "Travis." She cried, he wrapped his arms around her. "I don't know what is wrong with my kids. Please help me." She begged, he looked down at her, cupping her cheek wiping her tears away. "Please, it hurts so much." She continued, he nodded his head.

"I got you. You're safe." He reassured, as she continued to cry in happiness that they finally found her.

He picked her up in his arms, carrying her into his arms as she buried her head into his chest. He pulled the car door open, he placed her feet onto the ground still holding her waist. She went to get into the backseat of the car when a gunshot went off causing both of them to freeze.

"Toni." She breathed out in worry. "Toni!" She screamed, going to the house but Travis held her waist.

"Calm down." She continued to panic as she stared at the house. "Listen to me." He cupped her cheeks. "Sit in that car. I'm going to make sure Toni is alright? Okay?" She looked hesitant before nodding her head, trembling in fear she climbed into the backseat of the car.

She slumped against the leather chairs, breathing in and out heavily holding onto her stomach tightly. "Ah!" She screamed, feeling liquid run down her legs.

Travis rushed into the house and his eyes instantly fell onto a body on the ground. He didn't know what to feel staring down at the body. Kevin, Drake, and Jordan both stood emotionless as Mary fell onto her knees shaking uncontrollably. Travis slowly walked past the body and towards Toni, who stared down at Holly's body with no emotions while detective Joan cuffed Paul up.

"Toni. I found Layla." His head snapped up, his eyes brightened. "She's in pain, something is wrong...with your kids." He revealed, causing Toni's heart to stop.

"Where is she!?" He exclaimed.

"In the car." Without saying anything else, Toni rushed out of the house and towards the car to see Layla in the backseat, screaming and shouting.

He opened the backseat staring at her with concern. "Angel? Angel?" She looked over at Toni with tears streaming down her face.

"Toni. Something is wrong. The twins." She breathed out, screaming once again.

"We gotta get her to the hospital." Jordan said, his eyes flickering down the liquid sliding down her legs. "Now!" He snapped.

Toni sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room, his legs bouncing up and down. Jennifer, rubbed his back as he glared at the wooden floor. The door of the room opened, causing Toni to quickly stand up from his seat and towards the doctor.

"How are my wife and kids?" He asked, worriedly.

The doctor sucked in a huge amount of air. "She's going in labor." Toni's face dropped. "Her water broke." He revealed, causing Toni to swallow roughly.

Jennifer looked confused as did Lori. "B-but she's only eight months." Lori cut in, causing the doctor to look over at her.

"She has tended to carry a lot of stress which has caused premature labor." Lori slumped down onto the chair, cupping her mouth as did Jennifer. Toni stood there not saying a word. "If you want you can be with her." He told Toni, without saying anything Toni walked towards the room.

All he was praying for was that his wife would be okay after birth and his kids would survive.
