My Little Sunshine

Chapter 293: Back To The Base

"Alright! I will tell you." Like always, Adam gave into her demands.

He cleared his throat a little, before he began to explain it to her.

*FLASHBACK*

Adam was already on his way back to the banquet when his phone started ringing. He shifted his eyes from the road ahead to his phone which was plugged in with the car's system. Seeing that it was just Blake calling him, he didn't pick up the call at first, thinking that it must be regarding Lillian and Elena. But he changed his mind when he continued to call him. 

On the third call, Adam finally picked it up with frustration. "I am driving, you moron." He spoke in an annoyed tone. He was glad that he had connected the phone to the car on his way to the base and didn't take it out during the time he was there. He had done so because he didn't want to risk missing a call from her beloved wife if in case she decided to call him. 

"You need to hurry up!" Blake's aggrieved voice came through the car's speaker, which only left him baffled.

"What do you mean by hurry up?" Adam replied back to him as he continued to keep his attention on the road ahead. 

"It's Stella." Blake replied to him briey before he went quiet. 

The words reverberated through the closed space and forced Adam to push his foot on the brake. As the car came to a sudden stop after screeching over the stop, Adam pulled out the phone from its holder and pressed it against his ears. 

"What about Stella?" He asked him right away.

"S-she" Blake's stuttering voice came through the phone's speaker which only irked the man. 

"Blake, speak!" He spoke back as he demanded him to answer him. There was this nagging feeling he had been having in his chest the moment he left her there on her own. Though she wasn't all alone there. She had a bunch of people who were keeping an eye on her every move. But he didn't want to risk leaving her alone for long.

"She's missing." After hearing Adam's demanding voice, Blake answered him. "I don't know what exactly happened there, but my men found Edward in a beaten up state with no sign of Stella. He has been transferred to a hospital, and Wilson is making sure that he's fine." He continued when he didn't hear a response coming from his side. 

"What do you mean by she's missing?" Adam yelled back at him. He couldn't believe his words when he first heard him. 

"She is missing, Adam." Blake repeated his words from earlier.

"She cannot go missing." Adam spoke under his breath, his words barely a whisper. A sudden gush of regret and guilt washed over his being as he refused to believe his ears. He was the one who had left her on her own. It wouldn't be the case if he was there to accompany her. Or at least she wouldn't have been alone. 

"We are trying our best to locate her. The thing doesn't look so planned as the CCTV cameras in the parking lot were still working when they took her." Blake tried to reassure him even though he was feeling no better than him if not worse. Moreover, he was blaming himself for what had happened as it was him who had been looking out for Stella. "We will find here soon." 

"I am coming back to the base." Adam finally spoke up and disconnected the call without listening to him any further. 

He stared at the road ahead as dark thoughts began to consume his mind. The feeling of losing his beloved was continuously poking his senses, which only added to his dilemma. Moreover, how could he forget about his little angels, who were yet to see the world.

"I am coming, my love. You just stay safe till then." He muttered under his breath and turned the steering wheel to his right. He wouldn't let anyone harm his wife and babies. He wanted to look for them himself. 

He had barely drove a mile or two while heading back to the base when his phone which was now placed on his lap, started to ring once again. He shifted his eyes to the screen hoping that it was Blake who was calling him to tell him that they had found her. But to his dismay, it was Carston's name which was flashing on the screen. 

For some unknown reason, he found the time of his call a little off. Why would he be calling him when they had barely even exchanged a couple of texts so far? 

He slowed down the speed of the car, and picked up the call.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

"So, Carston is the one who told you where to find me." Stella spoke up after listening to him. Her words came out more like a statement than a question. Her thoughts drifted back to the time when she found him sitting so leisurely in the jet back there, and how he was waiting for her Taylor to arrive. 

"He sure is trying hard to make up to it." She spoke under her breath which earned him a questioning look from her husband. 

"What do you mean?" Adam questioned her after hearing her words. 

"Nothing. You need to sleep, so no more work." She spoke up as she pointed towards the laptop which was on sleep mode. 

"Alright." Adam shrugged his shoulders and agreed to her right away, not because he wanted to have some rest but rather he knew that she needed it more than him. Being pregnant, that too with twins, wasn't an easy task. 

"Let's sleep now, my love." He kissed the top of her head as he pulled her in his arms while he pressed the button on the side of his bed which automatically switched off half of the lights in the room, and dimmed the remaining ones just so the room wasn't completely dark. 

"Goodnight, my love." He pressed his lips against the side of her head before he pulled the duvet up to cover their bodies.
