Chapter 26: Rescue

Writer's P.O.V

" CCTV footage, show us the footage", Aaron screamed.

The manager took them to the CCTV room.

Aaron along with others sees the CCTV footage. They noticed Isla going outside with that man.

" Justin, take his picture and try to find this man", Aaron informed them.

" I will", Justin said, and called someone.

Aaron was viewing the morning footage to know something about that man when he noticed something.

" Rayna??", Justin said, seeing her.

" Who is she?", Christopher asked.

" My friend's daughter, she is obsessed with Aaron", Justin informed them.

" Where is she going?", Andrew asked.

Aaron played another camera's footage. They noticed her talking with the staff member and giving him some money.

" She...", Aaron said, angrily.

" We need to trace her number. She is the one who had kidnapped Isla", Aaron said and dialled a number.

" I need to know this number's location and where she had been the whole day", Aaron said on the cell phone.

" I need it within five minutes", Aaron told the other person.

" We will find her, Aaron", Travis said, consoling him.

Aaron got a message on his cellphone within five minutes.

" I know where she is", Aaron replied and ran outside.

All the men follow him. They reached a house which was located in a deserted area. They noticed a car outside the house.

Aaron entered the house along with others. He heard Isla's screams. She was taking his name again and again.

Aaron's blood boiled seeing the view inside the room.

Isla was laying on the floor, struggling while a man was hovering over her trying to kiss her while other men were holding her down.

Her sleeves were torn and blood was flowing from her forehead.

Her eyes were filled with tears. She was screaming his name.

Aaron went inside and pulled the men away from her. He punched the man who was trying to kiss her.

Justin and others also joined him and beat the remaining goons.

" Leave him to me, you go to Isla. She needs you", Xavier said to him, kicking the man badly.

Aaron nodded his head and went towards Isla.

He found Isla unconscious on the floor. Someone has slapped her hurt, making her face swallow.

" Isla .... Wake up sweetheart", Aaron said cupping her face in his hands, trying to wake her.

" Sweetheart please wake up...look your Aaron is here", Aaron said, trying to wake her. His eyes were wet seeing her in this situation.

" Aaron, try to control yourself. We need to bring her to the hospital", Christopher said to him.

Aaron nodded his head before picking her in his arms.

They hurriedly took her to the hospital where the doctors bring Isla to the I.C.U

Andrew called and informed everyone about Isla.

Soon everyone reached the hospital.

" How is she??"Justin asked Aaron.

" She is in the I.C.U", Aaron replied.

Stella and Avery were crying hearing this.

After half an hour, the doctor comes outside the I.C.U

" How is She, Doctor??", Aaron asked him.

" She is out of danger now. She may face mental trauma due to this incident. Take care", the Doctor informed them.

" Thank you, doctor", Justin said.

Aaron took a breath of relief knowing she was okay.

" I am going to kill Rayna who had tried to hurt my Isla", Aaron said with determination.

" We are trying to find the staff who bring Isla to Rayna but he is missing. He will be caught soon", Xavier informed them.

" Thank you for helping us", Aaron said to the Martinez family.

" No need to thank us. She is like a daughter to us", Violet said.

" Thank you", Stella said, hugging her.

After half an hour, Isla regained her consciousness.

Firstly, she was scared and screaming but later seeing her family members she calmed down a little.

Everyone in the Miller and Martinez family meets Isla except Aaron.

After meeting Isla, the Martinez family decided to return home.

" I will come back tomorrow to meet Isla", Violet said to Stella before going with her family.

After everyone left Isla's ward, Aaron went inside to see Isla.

" Sweetheart", Aaron said, caressing her cheeks.

" Aaron", Isla said, crying.

She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly while crying.

" Shh... sweetheart, Don't cry....you are safe now.... completely safe....your Aaron is here with you...", Aaron said, patting her hair.

" I was so scared but I know you will find me like always," She said, crying.

Aaron's eyes got wet hearing her.

" I will never let anything happen to you. I will always protect you", he vowed, caressing her back.

" I know", she replied.

" You were sitting on the bench then why did you follow him?", Aaron asked her, softly.

" One of the resort's staff told me that Autumn had come to talk about something important with me about the office. He told me she is waiting for me outside. I wanted to inform you about this but he said Autumn is in a hurry and he will inform you so I followed him. When I went outside, I felt someone hit me from behind", Isla told him.

" Rayna...it was done by Rayna...She was there. She is the one who asked him to kidnap me. She arranged for those men to rape me and then kill me. She knows about our relationship. She wants to remove me from her way and have you as her husband", Isla told him, while crying.

" I am going to kill her. She should not have tried to hurt you....she should not have...", Aaron said, aggressively.

" Calm down, Aaron", Isla said, holding his arm.

Aaron looked at her tired face and asked her to sleep for some time.

He went outside to tell his family about Rayna.

" Aaron!! We have found the man who locked Isla inside the storeroom. I have informed the police about him. We will make him confess his crime soon.", Justin informed him.

" Rayna Lee, you are going to pay for your crimes", Aaron said.

" We need to teach her a good lesson", Justin said, angrily.

" You guys stay here. Justin and I will go to settle Rayna's matter", Aaron told them.

" Rayna Lee, I am going to make you regret what you have done. You tried hurting my girl, now I will tell you what I do with the people who try to hurt my family", Aaron thought, angrily.

Soon Justin and Aaron entered Lee Mansion.

" Justin, Aaron, you both here??", Mr Lee asked them, not understanding their reason for coming here without informing him.

" Where is Rayna?", Aaron asked him without showing any emotion.

" Rayna?? She is upstairs but why are you asking about her", Mr Lee asked.

" You will know soon. Ask Rayna to come downstairs", Justin told him, coldly.

Mr Lee sends someone to call Rayna downstairs.

When Rayna got to know that Justin and Aaron had come to her house, She was a little shocked.

" They should be outside, finding Isla. What are they doing here??", She thought.

Aaron had forced those men to lie to Rayna that they had finished the work and killed Isla. Aaron doesn't want Rayna to know the truth and hide before they catch her.

" Did they know the truth??", Rayna mumbled.

" No!! It can't be. My planning was perfect. Who will tell them about me? Those men had already left the city while that bitch is dead", Rayna thought before deciding to go downstairs.

" Hey, Aaron, Justin, it's good to see you here", She said to them, smiling.

"Indeed it's good to see you in your house", Aaron replied, smirking.

" Please sit", Rayna said, trying to act sweet.

" No need, Get ready to pay for your sins", Aaron said, smirking

Her smile falls upon hearing him. She felt nervous seeing his dangerous look.

" What are you talking about??", She said, trying to act calm.

" Don't you know what you have done??", Aaron asked, shouting at her, making her shiver.

She was shocked to see his anger. She now knows why everyone is afraid of his anger and doesn't want to be a victim of his rage.

" What are you talking about, Aaron?", Mr Lee asked him.

Aaron didn't reply to him and continued glaring at Rayna.

" Rayna?? Aaron?? Can someone tell me what the hell is happening??", Mr Lee asked them.

" Justin, at least you tell me. What had Rayna done?? Why is Aaron angry??", Mr Lee asked Justin.

" She had tried to kill Isla. She had bribed some men and asked them to rape her and kill her", Justin replied.

" What??", Mr Lee screamed.

Rayna was looking at Aaron's angry face in fear. She didn't listen to what Justin had told her father due to which she missed the words when he told her father that she had tried to kill Isla, 'tried' which means Isla is fine now.

" Rayna!! What are they saying?? Have you tried to hurt Isla?? Rayna tell me??", Mr Lee asked.

" No, Dad!! They are lying. I have not done anything", Rayna said, screaming.

" Really?? You have not done anything??", Aaron asked her, angrily.

" No", She replied, shivering in fear.

" Officers", Aaron shouted.

Some police officers entered the house while holding five men.

Rayna's face pales seeing those men. Rayna knows she is in deep shit.

" Did you remember something now??", Aaron asked her.

Writer's P.O.V

" Did you remember something now??", Aaron asked her.

" So what if I have planned everything?? I have succeeded, haven't l?? Isla is dead. She had died painfully. I have removed her from my way. You are now mine, only mine", she said, laughing madly.

Mr Lee was shocked to hear her.

" Who said Isla is dead??", Justin asked her, raising his eyebrows.

" What do you mean?"She asked, feeling suspicious.

" Isla is completely fine. She is alive and waiting for me in my house. You think you will try to hurt my fiance and I will not do anything?", Aaron said, smirking.

" She is alive?? No!! She can't. You have told me, you have finished the work. You have killed her after raping her. You have lied to me. How dare you?", She said to goons.

"She can't be alive. I can't lose Aaron. He is mine. She can't come between us. I will not let her come between us", Rayna starts mumbling, behaving madly.

" Rayna", Mr Lee screamed, before slapping her hard.

" Dad!!", Rayna screamed, seeing her dad with disbelief.

She can't believe her father had slapped her for the first time.

" Shut up!! Do you know what you have done?? You have committed a crime. How could you??", Mr Lee said, shouting at her.

Rayna started crying seeing her dad screaming at her.

" Officers!! You have all the proofs. I need her behind bars", Aaron said.

" Don't worry, Mr Miller. These proofs are enough to put her behind bars", one of the officers said while another officer went to Rayna and put the handcuffs on her.

" Dad!! Please save me. I don't want to go to jail. Dad...please ....", Rayna said trying to resist.

" Justin!!" Mr Lee said to Justin in a defeated voice.

" I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this. She has tried to hurt my daughter. I can't forgive her", Justin said, without any hesitation.

" I understand,'' Mr Lee said in a weak voice.

" Dad....Dad....", Rayna screamed when police officers were taking her to the police station.

Aaron returned to the hospital along with Justin.

" You guys go home and have a rest. I will stay in the hospital tonight", Aaron told them.

" I will stay with you", Justin replied.

" We also want to stay with Isla", Avery said.

" No need, you all go back. I will stay", Aaron said and sent them back.

After sending them back, Aaron went to Isla's room.

She was sleeping peacefully without any worry. He slowly went close to her and kissed her forehead lightly.

He sat on the chair close to her bed. He held her hand before putting his head close to her, admiring her.

" I will never let anything happen to you", Aaron mumbled, before closing his eyes.

Around midnight, Isla's sleep got broken and she opened her eyes slowly. She roamed her eyes in the room and noticed Aaron sleeping in an uncomfortable posture.

She tried to move her hands when she noticed he was holding her hand tightly, fearing something would happen to her again.

She feels sad seeing him sleeping in such an uncomfortable posture.

She caressed his hair while smiling slightly. Aaron stirred, feeling her hand on his head.

He opened his eyes and noticed Isla sitting on the bed.

" Isla!! You okay?? Do you need anything??"Aaron asked her.

" Just water", Isla said, weakly.

" One second", Aaron said and went to the side table to pick up the water jug. He filled the glass and went close to her.

" Drink slowly", he said, raising the glass to her lips.

Isla slowly drinks the water, taking small sips.

After making her drink water, Aaron makes her comfortably sleep on the bed.

He was about to sit on the chair when Isla hold his hand.

" You can sleep on the bed with me", Isla said.

" No need!! You will feel uncomfortable. You must sleep soundly. I am fine here", Aaron said, shaking his head in denial.

" This bed is really big. I will not feel uncomfortable. Please!!", Isla said to him.

" Okay!! But inform me, if you feel uncomfortable or experience any kind of pain", he said to her.

" I promise", Isla promised him.

He joined Isla on the bed. Both of them slept facing each other while holding hands.

Next day,

Justin and Stella come early in the morning to meet Isla.

They smiled seeing both of them together.

Justin tried to send Aaron home to freshen up but Aaron didn't agree. He was not ready to leave Isla alone.

In the afternoon, Martinez's family comes to meet Isla.

" How are you feeling now?"Violet asked Isla.

" Much better", Isla replied smiling.

" You should take a rest. Don't stress yourself", Violet said and went outside her hospital room.

Outside the room, Christopher and his brothers were asking Aaron and Justin about the culprit.

" Did you find the culprit?"Violet asked them.

" Rayna Lee", Aaron said, angrily.

" She is obsessed with Aaron. She even sent a marriage proposal through her father who is my friend for Aaron. Aaron had already told her father that he had a fiance. When she gets to know Isla is the one whom Aaron is in love with, She tries to harm Isla", Justin told them the truth.

" So she tried to harm Isla thinking once Isla is dead, Aaron will marry her. She doesn't have a brain, I am sure about it. She is completely mad", Violet said, angrily.

"We had recorded her confession and filed a case against her. She is in jail right now", Aaron informed them.

Violet and her husbands didn't ask them about Aaron and Isla's relationship even though they think they are blood-related.

They didn't ask because they don't like to interfere in someone else's matters. Also, they have married going against society so it doesn't matter to them. What matters is only love.

" It's good. She deserves to spend her whole life in jail", Travis said.

After some time, they decided to go back.

Isla got discharged from the hospital after two days. Aaron and his family took her home.

Aaron didn't leave Isla's side until she was completely fine.

Since Avery is going to get married next month, the family started the preparations in full swing.

On the other side, Aaron makes sure that Rayna got the deserving punishment from the law.

The whole month passed in the blink of an eye. Aaron's family had invited many high profile families to the wedding. Even Martinez's family was also invited to the family functions.

Avery was getting married after two days so the girls decided to spend some time together before marriage.

Jenny, Autumn, Isla and Avery got ready to go to a club where Avery's other female friends were waiting for them.

All of them got ready in short sexy dresses, ready to make men crazy for them.

They have booked a table in the club.

Avery's friends were already present there when they reached the club.

They ordered their favourite drinks while teasing the bride to be.

" I think I have seen Dylan and Ian here", Jenny told Autumn, Isla and Avery.

" You sure?"Avery asked her.

" Yes!! Let me message Dylan", she said and send the message to Dylan, asking about his whereabouts.

" What did he say?"Avery asked her.

" He lied saying he is with Mark and Axel in Ian's house having a movie night with boys", Jenny said, feeling confused.

" Let's go and check", Avery suggested. Four of them went towards the VIP area.

They entered the hall where a party was going in full swing.

Isla's eyes fall on Aaron, who was sitting on the couch while a girl in slutty dress was sitting close to him, caressing his shoulder. She was drooling over him, making Isla see red.

On the other side, Autumn, Avery and Jenny were also fuming seeing their fiance's.

Ian, Dylan, Carter along with Mark and Axel were sitting on the couch surrounded by girls.

" Great, just great", Avery said, sarcastically

" They lied to us to enjoy bachelor's party", Jenny said.

" That bitch is trying to touch my Carter, I can't let this happen", Autumn replied.

" We need to teach them a good lesson. It's time to make your man jealous, Girls", Avery said.

" Yes!!" the girls agreed.

On the other side,

" I am getting bored guys. Also, these bimbos are hovering over me, making me irritated", Aaron told them.

" Seriously dude, I even have to lie to Jenny because of the bachelor's party. If she gets to know about this, I am dead", Dylan said, feeling scared.

"I have no idea my friends have arranged these girls for the party, otherwise I would have never agreed", Ian said, making a sad face.

" Since we are not enjoying it, let's leave the party and enjoy it in our own way.", Carter suggested.

" Good idea", Aaron replied and glared at the girl who was trying to touch him.

" Wait a minute, what are the girls doing here?", Dylan said, narrowing his eyes.

Aaron looked in the direction in which Dylan was looking.
