I decided that I would not tell him, if he decides that he hates me, then I would accept it because I was sure he would take the baby away from me. Genevieva would maltreat the poor child the way they maltreated me, I would die before I let that happen. As he walked away, I felt my heart tearing apart until I had no more heart to love.

I was sitting in the tiny cell. There was a small bed at the side and a single chair. I held the bars of the cell and watched as the guards walked about.

I was tired of standing, my legs were quivering and my belly was hurting. I was thinking about my baby, how can I stay here? My life and the life of this child would be ruined.

More tears fell from my eyes and I clutched my belly and slid to the ground.

“Forgive me..." I whispered to the growing life inside me. I was so protective over the baby and there was no way to protect it. I would rot in jail and what would happen to the baby?

If only I had a second chance, I would not be so stupid again. If I could get out of this cell, I would not make the same mistake of losing my mind over a man that doesn't love me.

I would be better, I swear.

I heard a loud groan and I looked up to see one guard falling to the floor, the other guard pulled out his gun but the tall man in black suit was quicker.

He pulled the gun off the guard's hand and threw a punch that knocked him out. The man straightened his expensive Armani suit and turned to me, I was captivated by his light blue eyes.

He bent down, searched the pockets of the guard and finally found a key in the pocket of the second guard. He walked to my cell and unlocked it.

“Hurry, we don't have much time." He said to me.

His cologne was intoxicating and he was wearing a very expensive Rolex, his entire aura screamed wealth and power.

“Who are you?."

“That doesn't matter, Freya. Come with me before the others outside come for us, I don't want to kill a police officer."

My eyes fell on the two men laying on the floor.

“They're not dead, just…asleep. That's the reason we have to get out, now " He explained.

Who is he?!

I wanted to leave this place. it's just that I was scared to leave with him, the man didn't just seem powerful, danger leaked from him like blood out of a wound. His eyes were cold and I could feel the danger radiating from him, I could taste it on my tongue.

He closed his hand around my wrist and pulled me out. When we reached the lobby, a police man turned to me.

“Don't look back " the man told me.

I could not help it, it was fear and curiousity that made me turn around.

I regretted it soon afterwards because the policeman started running after us.

“He's following us."

" Freya..." The man sighed my name, it was supposed to show his frustration but that sound was so sexy, it was not far from a moan.

Should I be thinking of this right now?.

“Run!." The man ordered and he never released my hand. He took me to a black car with tinted windows, confirming my suspicions. I might die tonight.

We jumped in and zoomed off but not without the other police cars chasing us, it was like there was a fleet of them. It was night time and the road was busy.

“Oh my god, I'm going to die in jail " I cried

“I'm not letting those people get to us, okay?."

I nodded my head even though I did not believe him, there was a dozen cars chasing us and we were pulling into oncoming traffic.

“Are we about to run a traffic light? " I asked in fear.

“This would be the worst thing you ever did?." He asked teasingly, and even though there was a smile in his voice, his expression remained blank. “Cover your face with your hands."

“What?."

“You heard me Freya, now do it."

He grabbed a dark sunglass from the console and wore it. I put my hand over my face and when we passed the traffic light, the camera flashed, taking a picture.

“Oh, that was why."

How often did he do things like this? Who is he? Why did he come for me?.

A car jammed into our tail and the man struggled to keep the car on four wheels, he winced and I got a flash of his pearly white teeth. His side profile was marvelous. He had a straight nose and chiseled jaw.... His hands were perfect, holy fuck look at those hands as they clutched the steering.

He turned to me as if he could read my thoughts and heat spread over my neck and cheeks.

“Ready?."

“For what? " I asked sharply

That question slapped me back to reality.

“For this…take a very deep breath. Freya…breathe, deep breaths. " He instructed as if he was a life guard and went off the road like a fucking psychopath, the car bumped against the rail of the bridge and broke out. He took my seatbelts off and pulled me to him. I screamed as we fell into the big river.

“Arghhhh!."

I was going to die! Once again the realization hit me.

With a very loud crash, we landed into the river and was swallowed by it. The man kicked the window of the car and swam out, he pulled me out with him and I kicked my legs, trying not to panic but doing it anyways.

My lungs felt like all the oxygen were finished. I felt hot nails pushed into my chest and throat, my head was begining to get foggy. We broke out to the surface and I took a very big breath.

The man pulled me to the river bank and into the trees. My teeth were chattering, I saw torches being pointed to the river, the police would think we were dead. There was no how anyone could have survived that thing.

“You're wet." The man's deep voice said.

I turned to him and his cold eyes were animated.

“Are you fucking crazy? Thank you for saving me but what? Why the hell did you not tell me that we were going into the river?."

I was so angry and scared and relieved.

“Because you would have freaked out and died by now and we don't want that, do we?. Let's go, before your teeth fall off from all that chattering."

I clamped my mouth shut and stood my ground.

" Freya, come on, we can't afford to waste any more time."

“What are you? Are you human? Who are you? Why do you know my name?."

“I'm Hunter Winthrop, you must have heard of me befo—"

“Wait, the multi billionaire CEO? " I asked wide eyed.
