A Naive Bride for the Sophisticated CEO novel Chapter 67

“Ma’am Amelia!! Alice is gone!” Alba kept screaming as she ran down the stairs, pulling everyone’s attention to her.

“What?!” The people exclaimed.

“What do you mean Alice is gone?!” Amelia and James exclaimed, running back to the stairs.

“I. I.” Alba muttered, trying to catch her breath. Amelia grabbed her by the shoulders and began to shake her vigorously.

“Talk to me, Alba! Where is Alice?!” Amelia yelled. Her eyes heated up in no time, and she was covered in sweat.

“I needed to use the restroom. I left her on the bed in the room, only for me to return and find out that she…”

Amelia let go of her and ran up the stairs at great speed. “Ma’am Amelia!” Mrs Alba called in fear and ran after Amelia.

“No one leaves this party!” James announced in anger and terror. He ran to the door, locked it and threw the keys in his pockets.

“What? Why would you do that? You can’t just keep us here! We are innocent!” The congregation began to mumble to James’ deaf ears.

He ignored them and ran up the stairs after Amelia. Elena, Penelope and James’ parents also ran up the stairs in disbelief.

“This better be a joke!” Penelope uttered, shaking her head vigorously.

Amelia stormed into the room where she had left Alba to look over Alice until she was back, only to find only her shawl.

“No. No. No! This can’t be happening!” Amelia cried in a very loud voice and grabbed her head.

“I’m sorry, Mrs Amelia, I should never have left her alone.” Alba cried. Penelope pulled her by her dress and threw a hot slap on her face.

“But you left her, didn’t you? And now my grandchild is missing!” Penelope yelled. She tried to slap Alba again but Helen stopped her.

“This isn’t the best idea, Penelope! We should go out there and find out who abducted Alice! We are wasting time, standing here and raising our voices.”

“That’s true. James, you go and search the people. I’ll look outside the house.”

James clenched his jaws and fist, fighting his urge to cry. Amelia was already crying, and he didn’t want to break down too.

“I’ll help you look too.” Elena uttered, and James shot her a deadly look.

“Can you stop pretending to be nice?! Everybody is a suspect here!”

“What?! What are you insinuating James?! That I abducted my nephew? Are you that dumb! I was out there with Amelia on the stage!” Elena responded with great fury.

“Enough! Enough! My child is missing, and all you can do is fight?! Alice is gone!” Amelia screamed and ran out of the room screaming “Alice”.

“Amelia!” They all called, running out of the room after her.

“Alice, my love! Where are you?!” Amelia’s voice vibrated as she cried out. Her heart was pounding against her chest very fast like it was going to explode if she didn’t see Alice in the next few seconds.

She ran down the stairs with great speed, and the others ran after her, they tried to catch her but she seemed too fast.

“Alice!” Amelia yelled again when she got down the stairs and she began to look around the living room. On the guests body, on the dining table, in bags and other places.

“Alice, please calm down. You are scaring me.” James said after finally catching up with her.

“Calm down?! James, our girl is missing!” She growled.

“And we would find her. Dad, mom and the others are outside looking for her already.”

Amelia didn’t seem to find comfort in James’ words. Seeing Alice healthy and carrying her in her hands was the only thing that could comfort her.

“You still haven’t seen her?” Ava asked with great worry. Amelia ignored her and kept looking all over the place.

“No, we haven’t, Ava. If you want to help, don’t just ask questions. Help us look, okay? There is a criminal in our midst.” James uttered, and Ava bobbed.

“Criminal? Isn’t that sounding too serious?” Hudson mumbled and scoffed at James’ hearing.

James grew so furious after hearing what he said and stormed to where Hudson was sitting, feeling very relaxed.

He pulled him up by the shirt and threw a punch at his face. Hudson’s face fell to the side and his lips burst.

“Where the hell did you take her?! What did you do to Alice?!” Silver flew out of James’ lips as he spoke and handled Hudson aggressively.

“Are you insane?! Why would I want to abduct your daughter? What do you take me for?!” Hudson yelled in response.
