CHAPTER 41: RECONNECT WITH THE HOST

Zero added the couple to his own private chat group called The Windowless Lovers Chat Group.

Zero: Helloooo guys... wazzup? What’s going on in your lives nowadays?

Alpha Maxwell: Terrible! You are right, chaos awaits us outside the windowless room.

Zero: How about you dear Naomi? How’s your life?

Naomi: I cry all the time. My eyes are swollen with tears. I thought my freedom would give me the happiness I’m excited about. But I was wrong. I feel sad and awful here in my own room. I miss my son so much! I want him back. Zero please help me! Return my son to me!

Zero: I’m sorry to hear that, dear. Let’s hope things get better in time.

Naomi: I think things will not get any better from my side. My situation is difficult. I’m grounded in the house, I can’t go anywhere! I’m like a prisoner!

Zero: Oh, that’s really bad. How I wish I could help you, dear.

Naomi: You can help me! Please give my son back to me! His presence can bring back happiness to my life.

Zero: But the presence of baby Jacob in your life will only make things complicated for you. I presume your father has already told you to forget your lover and your baby, am I right?

Naomi: Yes, you are right.

Zero: That’s what I’m telling you. You can face your problems easier if the baby is out of your way.

Naomi: But I miss my son so much! I want him back in my life!

Zero: I know dear, I know how you feel.

Zero: Um, Alpha Maxwell, are you still with us? Why are you not saying anything?

Alpha Maxwell: I’m here. I’m just reading your messages quietly.

Zero: Good. How’s life on your end? I hope your family has been nice to you?

Alpha Maxwell: No! Our lives are hellish right now. It’s all because of you and the mastermind of this kidnapping! Because you guys make our lives miserable. If you hadn’t kidnapped us, our lives would still be peaceful now. Don’t ever show your face to me. I will chop your body into pieces and feed you to the dogs!

Zero: Sigh, you are still a hot-tempered dude. I thought you would calm down once you leave the facility. But you are still brutal as ever. You should be grateful. You met Naomi in this lifetime and she gave you baby Jacob. You’re a lucky guy!

Alpha Maxwell: Dammit! If you and your bosses did not interfere with our lives we would never experience this much hardship! You plunged our lives into total darkness. And I hate you all for that!

Zero: Oh, so sorry to hear that, dude, but the kidnapping served its purpose, right? You were never happy with your old partners. You just accepted them as a normal part of your life. But when you and Naomi meet each other in the windowless room, sparks fly, and you fall in love with each other. The kind of love that is so intense and all consuming you can’t keep your hands off each other. That is why baby Jacob was born into this world because of the genuine love you felt for each other.

Zero: Guys, tell me, was the love you have for each other worth fighting for? Look deeper into your heart and soul. If the answer is no, then go ahead, marry your old lover and forget everything you went through during your captivity. Things will be easier that way.

Zero: But I must remind you, great true love comes with great sacrifices. Shallow love does not give you real happiness, only temporary peace. Sooner or later, you will realize you will not be happy with other people. You will only be happy about each other. You only live once in this world. If you find your soulmate you better not let go of that person or else you will regret it for the rest of your lives.

Alpha Maxwell: Enough nonsense! You talk too much like a wise fool. Don’t forget you are an accomplice in our kidnapping!

Zero: Dude, please control your anger in this chat room. No need to insult me. I came here to help. My intention was to help and not to argue. Please don’t crucify me. I’m just the host and the messenger. I’m just trying to help in any way I can. It’s the least I can do for you guys.

Naomi: Please stop arguing with each other! Things are hard already. I can’t stand too many verbal insults in this chat room.

Zero: I’m sorry dear, please stop crying. I will stop talking too much. I repeat, things will get better with time. They always are.

Naomi: I hope you are right...

Zero: Your next action will determine your future, dear.

Naomi: What do you mean?

Zero: No matter what happens in the days to come... stick to your love and devotion to Alpha Maxwell.

Naomi: That’s easier said than done. You have no idea how strict my father was. But even if I stay devoted to Alpha Maxwell, will he stay devoted to me and baby Jacob? In case you didn’t know yet, his fiancee Deborah got pregnant and delivered a baby boy that is already five months old. Do you think that woman will not force Alpha Maxwell to marry her? His family will choose that girl over me! Our case is hopeless. Just so you know...

Alpha Maxwell: Sweetie, I will stay devoted to you come what may. I haven’t married Debora yet and I have no plans on marrying her in this lifetime. No need to worry about it. I will find a way to break up with her. I haven’t seen her yet. She will come to our house on Sunday. That’s the only time I can have a serious talk with her and tell her I’m no longer interested in marrying her.

Naomi: I hope you stay true to your promise.

Alpha Maxwell: Don’t worry, I will fulfill my promise to you. Just give me enough time to solve all my problems. It’s not going to be easy but I will do everything in my power so we can be together again, you, me and our son.

Naomi: OK. I will hold on to your promise.

Zero: Um, sorry to interrupt your serious conversation guys. I just want to tell you about management’s offer. If you guys think the problems outside are too much to bear and you can no longer solve your problems your way... and your families are making your life miserable every day, you have the option to return to the facility and live a peaceful life there with your son. The facility will offer you security, stability, peace and happiness. Everything there is free for you guys! They will provide you with everything. No one will give you a problem there.

Alpha Maxwell: And you still want to imprison us in that windowless room? No way! I will never return there!

Zero: You are wrong, dude. If you and Naomi return to the facility you are no longer required to stay in the windowless room. You will stay in a bungalow house with plenty of sunshine all day long. You can enjoy a clean and peaceful environment. If you are bored of doing nothing, you can work in the facility to earn a living. You can live like a king actually. It’s up to you.

Alpha Maxwell: Really? Live like a king you say? You are lying! You just want us to go back there and make us prisoners again! No, I will never go back there!

Zero: Oh, it’s okay. I respect your decision. Management just wants to give you easy way out of your pressing problems. All you need to do is drop everything and return to the facility. I can arrange everything. I will provide you safe passage back to the facility so that you will be reunited with baby Jacob.

Alpha Maxwell: Never again!

Zero: How about you, Naomi? Do you want to go back to the facility and live a peaceful life there or stay in your house and let your family decide about your future and your happiness? You must never allow your family to ruin your life. You must only do the things that make you happy.

Naomi: I will think about the facility’s offer. Give me some time.

Zero: OK, good! How about you Alpha Maxwell? Will you accept the offer from the management?

Alpha Maxwell: No way! Never again!

Zero: Never say never...

Alpha Maxwell: Zero, stop blabbering. Now hurry up. Give us baby Jacob’s photos and videos now! I want to see my son. I miss him very much.

Naomi: Yes please, I want to see my son with my own eyes. I’m very excited to see him. I want to hear his baby sounds, kiss his chubby cheeks, and see his adorable smile again.

Zero: Alright I will stop talking... I already have several adorable photos of him taken by the nanny who is in charge of him. We also had a recent video taken yesterday in the garden of the facility. Your son enjoyed a lovely afternoon sitting in his stroller, gazing at the colorful flowers in the garden. I’m sure you will enjoy the photos and videos guys. Give me a moment. I will upload them one by one for your pleasure.

Alpha Maxwell: Hurry up! I’m dying to see my son’s photos.

Naomi: Yesss, bring it on, Zero. I miss my son so much! I’m dying to see him again. I’m literally crying right now from excitement. Please hurry up!
