My Diabolic Lover

-~-~-~Surprise-~-~-~-

[Present]

"Alright kids.. since it's almost Christmas... help me decorate alright?" Zoe said

Iris: "Sure mom!! dad... are you leaving again? you won't be witb us during Christmas again?"

Ivan: "... Don't worry Iris, your dad will try his best not to go anywhere and be here with you during Christmas and i'll even help you if you need my help but.. if daddy needs to go.. can you atleast forgive me?"

Zane: *About to cry*

Ivan: "Uh-ah! BIG BOYS DON'T CRY... remember that Zane. Don't worry.. i'll try to stay here as long as I can alright? and besides you have your best mommy here right mommy?"

Zoe: "Haha.. of course.. but Ivan.. I want you to stay here too until new year. Tell me what's really going on?"

Ivan: "This is not the place to talk about that.. especially Iris and Zane are here. Let's just go to the mall okay? by the way.. are you guys hungry? let's eat first the let's gonto the mall to buy some stuff"

Zane: "Dad.. please don't leave us again! family should stick together and family should be together during Christmas and New year"

Yeah.. they should be together during Christmas and New year! it's important especially for the kids to enjoy and be with their parents. They will grow soon and dear parents that always work, you should pay attention to your family too and not just your job.. I know it's also for your family but if you continue to not pay attention to them, they'll start to lose affection towards you and they'll start to think something else like 'they don't love me anymore' and it can cause depression. That's what happened to Zane earlier, he taught he's dad loves someone else and not them because Ivan is always at work and he barely come home. If those kind of feelings developed, it can provoke the child to do something else. Kids are very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e.. I'm pretty sure they don't want anyone to hate them.

Ivan: "Zane.. I never left you alone... i'm always with you even though i'm far away. Don't worry, I've decided! i'll cancel my meetings and I won't leave you until New year. I'll spend most of my time with you from now on"

So.. they went to the dining room, ate some food, got ready and they left their mansion and went to the nearest mall.

The mall was crowded and it's hard to move without hitting someone or something. Well of course this will happen. Their house is just a mile away from a huge village with a lot of people and those people usually shop at that mall that's why it's very crowded.

Zoe is holding Iris's hand didn't notice that she wasn'y holding her anymore! oh no.. after she noticed it she quickly went to find his husband! they got seperated because of the people and it's really hard to see. She saw her husband near the crowd standing at the wall with Zane in his arms.

Zoe: "Ivann!!! I can't find Iris!.. I.. I.. "

Ivan: "What!? calm down! here... take care of Zane, i'll go find her alright? don't panic! we'll definetley find her okay?"

Zoe: "Wha-what if we don't!? what if a man took her!? what if the people there pushed and pushed her!?"

Ivan: "Zoe, calm down! stay here.. i'll find her"

Zoe nodded and Ivan immediatley ran towards the crowd where his child is. He searched everywhere and he even asked a lot of people there but none of them saw his child. He thought-

"Zoe will probably think it's her fault.. I don't want her to worry that much. Come on... where are you Iris? I remember.. back when she's just two years old, she'll walk towards me when I told her to 'come to papa'.. I just miss those moments."

Ivan is not that kind of guy who panics and let his stupidness take over. He'll probably tell himself something positive.

He kept looking for minutes and he found nothing.. not even a single clue where his child went. Then, he saw someone familiar.. very familiar.. he looked closely and it was detective Karl!!! a great friend of his. He approached Karl with a normal expression and when Karl noticed him. Karl quickly smiled and waved his hand

"How are you my old friend?" He asked

"I'm... feeling really bad" Ivan said

"Huh? but why? did something happened daijōbudesuka? (Are you okay?)" He asked

"Iris is missing!! help me find her." Ivan said

"Soshte, soko kara nani o eru koto ga dekimasuka? (And, what can I get from that?)"

"I'll give yoy money" Ivan said

"Daijōbu daijōbu! Watashi wa sore o yaru. (Alright alright! I'll do it)" Mr. Karl said

Then, Karl started to find Iris. Ivan went to where Zoe and Zane was and ge found no one there!! looks like Zoe ran to find her daughter too huh. Ivan was worried.. he immediatley called his wife and she answered

Ivan: "Hey.. where are you?"

Zoe: "Ahh... s-searching for Iris... Ivan? did you find her?"

Ivan: "No.. not yet but.. I ran into Karl and he's now helping me find Iris. Anyway.. get back here! please.. you're making me worry ao much"

Zoe: "Alright.. i'll be back there just a minute"

Minutes later and there's still no sign of them and Ivan started to panic.. he is so worried at this rate.. he'll lose control! it's not easy to make him panic but if the situation includes his family.. his patience is limited.

He recieved a call and he immediatley answered it!

Strange man: "Do you still want your kids and wife alive? heh.. come to the parking lot"

Zoe: "Ivan nooooo!!!!"

-Call ended-

His blood is boiling and his eyes are turning red! his fangs are showing and he's waling so fast. No body noticed his face suddenly become pale like a vampire and his eyes are now completely red.
