Chapter 74

Liam's POV

I left my Bella and my daughter with a heavy heart. I still don't trust Principal Tom, even though he's out of the list for Bella's perpetrator. I have a bad feeling about him, but since Bella believed him, I have no choice but to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm going straight to the station to meet with Detective Drew. They will try to interrogate Tood today. Hopefully, he will tell us the truth.

When I arrived at the station, my parents and Collette are already there waiting for me. We went to the adjoining room of the interrogation room to listen and watch Todd's possible confession. I can see that my sister couldn't sleep last night and probably was crying the whole night.

I went to hug her and kissed the top of her head. I greeted mom and dad as well, and we all waited for Todd to enter the room.

A few minutes later, he entered with his attorney and the interrogating officer. We waited in anticipation. He looked exhausted and looked at the glass window. He knows that we are on the other side.

" Atty. Mathews, are you ready to talk now?" The Detective asked Todd, and he nodded.

" Why don't you start with your relationship with Dr. Paige Johnson? Did she ask you to take that photo at the bar? Were you the one sending photos and threats to Miss Montreal?" The Detective asked.

" No, I'm not the one sending those photos. I was forced to take the photo and spy on Dr. Jones' family and Miss Montreal." Todd started. He looked so stressed out.

" Forced? By who?"Asked the detective. Todd hesitated for a while, but his Attorney urged him to continue.

" By Dylan Wilson and his sister Jenny. I met the two at the prison. I was Dylan's attorney, who helped him get parole. I was also taking care of Jenny's needs at the Mental institute where she was confined. I was obligated to help them out of debt to their family." Todd started, and we were so shocked by his revelation.

" Their parents sent me to school after adopting me from the orphanage. I am managing their finances and assets. Dylan is a dangerous man. He even got his parents killed out of anger for sending his sister to Mental Institute." He continued.

" He loved his sister so much, but his parents don't allow them to see each other because they were ashamed of what he did. When Dylan found out about what happened to his sister, he asked me to process his parole."

" He then planned the escape of her sister from that institute and made it look like she killed herself. The body you found at the abandoned building was not Jenny but Dr. Paige Johnson. They stole her identity, knowing that no one will look for her because she's an orphan." We were so taken aback by all the information we heard from Todd.

" Then Dylan found out the reason why her sister suffered and went crazy. So they ordered me to approach Collette and woe her. I was to make her fall in love with me then leave her on our wedding day." He said.

" So you mean to tell us that Dr.Paige is actually Jenny Wilson? Then who is Dylan? Who is her brother, and why are they harassing Miss Montreal?

" According to Jenny, Bella and Collette were the reason why Liam dumped her, and she got humiliated at the party. She was bullied and harassed after the incident that she was forced to drop out of school. Her parents were so disappointed with her that they never let her out of the house. Her anger and drove her to insanity." Todd narrated.

" She wanted revenge, but then Bella went missing after high school. So they planned to destroy Liam and Collette and humiliate them the way she was humiliated. Bella was really not in the plan, but when she showed up, Jenny saw red."

" She knew how Liam felt for Bella all along. She said even before. She knew that Liam was in love with her. Then they had a child, which made her even jealous and crazy. Dylan was the one who cut the brakes on Bella's car that day. They want her dead." Todd continued, now staring at the mirror.

" I didn't expect to fall in love with Collette, but I did. And I told them I want out, but they threatened me. They said they would kill her if I don't go through with the plan. Collette, I love you. I really do, and I tried to protect you, please believe me." Todd is now getting emotional.

" Attorney, you still did not answer the question. Who is Dylan Wilson, and where is he?" The Detective asked him again.

" He is hiding under a different name, and he will be executing his plan on killing Bella and her daughter today. Liam, you have to warn Bella to stay away from Principal Tom. He is Jenny's sister. He is Dylan Wilson!" He shouted at the mirror, and I suddenly felt numbed and cold.

Fear enveloped my whole body, and my legs gave out on me. I wobbled on my feet, and I can't breathe. My Bella, my Sophie! Oh, God! I let them go with that devil.

" Dr. Jones, are you alright?" Detective Drew asked me. I looked at him with fear in my eyes.

" Detective, you have to follow them. Bella and my daughter are with Principal Tom right now. He tricked us. He said he needed Bella for the children's field trip. He got my family. Oh, God! Please find them!" I whispered and clutched at my aching chest.

" Liam! What are you saying? You let Bella go with that bastard?! Liam, you have to find them! Oh. God! Liam, did Bella tell you she's pregnant? We went to the doctor the other day, and she wanted to surprise you. Did she tell you?" Collette kneeled in front of me. I have never felt so much fear until today.

" What?! She's pregnant?! f**k! No, she didn't tell me. Maybe she was planning to tell me after this trip. I have to warn her." I reached for my phone and sent a message to her, hoping Tom won't be around when she reads it.

" Baby, Tom is the stalker! Tom is Jenny's brother! Please find a way to escape. I will come to look for you. Turn your GPS on and act normal. If you see a gas station or convenience store, pretend to go to the bathroom. Bring Sophie with you and ask for help from the people there. I am coming, baby. I will find you. Please be careful and take care of our babies. I love you, be strong, love." I sent the message and stood up.

" Detective, let's go! We have to find my family before anything happened to them. I will kill that bastard if he ever lay a hand on my family. Have your men caught Dr. Paige already? I want to see these two behind bars!" I asked Detective Drew.

" I've given the order of nationwide search for Dr.Paige and Principal Tom, Dr. Jones. All the units are alerted and in pursuit of the two." He answered me.

" Liam, please be careful and please bring Bella and little Sophie home. I can't believe they had us fooled. Bella cannot be stressed because of her condition. Oh, God, please protect them." My mom is crying, and my dad looked so worried and frustrated.

" Don't worry, mom. I will find them, and I will bring them back."  I told my mom, then my phone beeped, and I received a message from Bella.

" Liam, help us! We were able to escape with the help of the store manager. He lent us his truck and told us to go out at the back. Tom hasn't noticed yet, but I am scared he will catch up with us. I am so sorry I did not listen to you and tell you that I am pregnant. I love you, Liam. Whatever happens, please do not forget that I love you. I am going back on the highway, back to the city on an old pickup truck." My heart clenched at her message, and suddenly with hope in my heart, I dashed out of the station and into my car.

Detective Drew and his men followed. Collette jumped on my passenger seat with determination on her face. She won't take no for an answer, so I did not waste time arguing and started my ignition. We soon run 100 miles per hour on the freeway, desperate to reach Bella and Sophie before Tom catches up on them.
