Tina POV
6 days later......
"You ready sugar lips?"Liam asked stuffing his clothes in to his travelling bag
"Yeah..."I muttered
"Are you okay ?"he got hold of my hand
"Yeah I am...it's just that... can't we stay a little bit longer?"I pouted
"Babe you of all people know we can't.....I've gotten a lead that James and Oliver ain't in Miami...so we need to go back to California"he explained sweetly
"Okay....hey have you heard from Max?"i sat down on the bed
"Not really... anything the matter?"
"No....it's just that ....well"
"What?"he sat on the bed next to me
"Well it's just that.... I called Penny last night and well she sounded kinda odd"
"Odd?"he questioned
"Yeah...she sounded really sad....and when I asked of Max... she refused to say a word....I think she's having issues with him"
"You sure about that?..... Max would have told you about it right....but now that I think about it... it's been a while since I saw Max"
"So have I "
"Liam maybe I should give Penny a call?"
"Yeah you do that....I'll be downstairs"he pecked my cheeks before opening the door
After staying at the hospital for 2 days ....I got discharged
I talked with Penny over the phone but haven't set my eyes on her since the last 6 days...Liam has been so overprotective after the incident
He hasn't let me out of sight...it's really sweet and all but it's getting on my nerves!
There haven't been any news about James or Oliver.... not until yesterday when Nathan informed Liam
So we decided on going back home....I wanna be of help but Liam wouldn't let me
He says once we get back home...am gonna go stay with Nanny
Tch!
I can't believe how paranoid he's gotten...I sighed heavily touching my tummy
Can't still believe I lost my baby....a tears streamed down my cheeks absent-mindedly.... it wasn't easy for me at all... but Liam has been supportive
I sighed one last time before grabbing the handle of my luggage
I dragged it downstairs to met Liam.... holding his car keys
"All done?"
"Yeah I am"I replied light heartily..
*****
"Nanny am home!"I yelled walking into my mansion....since Penny has decided to stay with Max...I thought it'll be best for nanny to come stay with me for a while... after the flight... Liam dropped me off...saying he's got something to do...it's already evening
"Nanny!"I yelled again...the living room was deserted,so's the kitchen,the bathroom and dinning room
Okay....this is getting werid...I twitched my lips in confusion
"Nanny!"I yelled at the top of my voice...
Something is wrong ..I panicked inwardly rushing upstairs...the door to my room made a cranky sound as I opened it gently
The light to the room was off.... making it really hard to see
I walked slowly flickering my eyes....I found my way to the light switch... turning it on sighing tiredly
A loud gasp escaped my lips as I turned to see Nanny lying lifeless on the floor with a knife stabbed at her chest
"Hah!"my lips quivered in fear...I stopped moving backwards as my back hit the wall...her red cherry hair scattered all over her face with her lips slightly opened
The gown she worn got soaked with blood
..her bright and cheerful eyes we're closed..tears ran down my cheeks uncontrollably ....I slid myself down the wall hugging my knees...Christ!
W...wh...what happened!?...I whimpered staring at her corpse
W...who could do such a thing!?...dear God!
I mustarded enough courage dragging my feet her her direction....I squatted touching her pale and lifeless face with my thumb....tears rushed in the more...I flickered my eyes staring at her hand
I...it's like she's holding something...I removed her weak fingers gently from the paper
I un warped it with fear and anxiety surging through me
*Am gonna make you pay for interfering Tina*I threw it away standing up
S... someone is after my life.....oh God!
I rushed to the basement kicking the door open... someone was here....and I need to find out ...and the only way is the CCTV footage
It's blank....oh my gosh
I.....I...I need to call Liam...my phone where the heck is it!?
I emptied my purse on the couch hoping to see
Where the heck is it!?
I need to leave this house now!...I rushed out of street and thankfully I spotted a cab...it's already night time
"Stop...stop...stop!"I halted
"Where to miss?"the cab driver muttered ..his face was covered with the face cap he wore...
"The station"I replied rather impatiently
"Okay....get in"I sat down on the seat staring at the empty street.... Nanny..
Tears flowed freely...I can't believe she's gone
I was so caught up in thinking I didn't notice the windows got locked
"Hwy!_"the driver sprayed something in the car
He covered his nose with a handkerchief...."he_!"I coughed violently feeling kinda sleepy ...
"Damn you"I muttered before blanking out
Penny POV It's been 6 days since I and Max had a misunderstanding I dragged my body to the bathroom...I stayed under the shower with the water running down my body mixed with my tears Am such a fool!....I should have never argued with him I tried calling him but he's not picking up the call.... he's not even replying to my messages I've been feeling kinda strange since the last 3 days...I'll go for check up before I pay Max a visit ..I miss him so much...he's joviality,he's smile and that cheeky laughter I miss him so much....I need to apologise He once told me about owning a penthouse In Miami Tina informed me that she and Liam are going back to California... they've probably arrived by now....it's already night time.....hoping to join them soon I wore a black jean with a lemon green turtle neck heading to my car... my head is aching I winced lightly * "Please wait here miss...the test results w
Mica POV The next morning..... "Jane"I called to my maid who usually helped me everyday...it really ain't easy not getting up...you have to be dependent on others....I can't do a thing on my own asides from eating meals "Good morning ma'am"she greeted walking gingerly to the wheelchair...with minimum efforts she placed me on it "How was your night Jane?"I asked softly "It was fine ma'am...and i hope yours was good?" "It's the same as usual....I can't believe I won't be able to walk again Jane"I said with a sigh "Don't worry ma'am...it'll be okay"she reassured wheeling me to the dinning room "I'll go get your breakfast"she opened the door to the kitchen leaving me in the living room My mind drifted back to Max and Penny ...I wonder how there faring?....it's been quite long I
Mica POV "Seriously!?.... who can possibly help?"Liam asked "Just wait....am not a hundred percent sure he's gonna help... but if he agrees James won't be alive for long "I replied "Here's your phone ma'am"Jane stretched her hand out...I collected the phone In a hurry..searching for his phone number "I'll going now Mrs Mica...I'll keep you updated"Liam pecked me once more before exiting 📞Hello who is this?📞the receiver questioned 📞 Louis it's me Mica 📞I answered getting nervous It's been 3 good years since I heared from him...what hope do I have he'll help me ? 📞Mica...what do you want?!📞 📞 Louis I need you help...it's about Max_📞 📞Let me cut you off sweetheart...I don't care what happens to Max or who ever you're talking off📞 📞 But Louis_📞 📞But what Mica?!...you left me for years just because you knew my little secret ...and now you're calling me for help!📞he snapped over t
Tina POV I groaned lighty as I woke up...my entire body was aching..I blinked my eyes rapidly and spotted two brutes standing next to me with a gun In there hands They both wore black clothing with dark shades Where am I? ...and what am I doing here? "Sleeping beauty is finally awake" one said snarled glaring at me "Hey what am I doing here!?" I made to get up when I realized that i was tied to a chair What the heck? ...I bite my lower lips as memories of what happened earlier rushed back in From nanny being mudered and the cabby making me pass out "I asked a question idoits !" "Keep shut bîtch!" one yelled "And if I don't will you make me?" I retorted "Bitvh" one muttered walking to my direction...he lifted his hand about to slap when the quickly intervened catching his hand in mid air "Easy there tiger...the boss wants to deal with her personally..and don't you forget he ordered u
Penny POV "Please enter Penny...I've been craving for this day for years" James grinned from ear to ear like an idoit..tears kept pouring down my cheeks non stop as I walked into the room The only source of light in the room was that of a lamp I fixed my gaze on the ground dragging my feet in...I can't believe this is happening..I can't see my self get touched by another guy expect Max And speaking of Max where is he?.....I hope he finds me like right now! "Penny what are you thinking of?"the bàstard asking grabbing hold of my arm I yanked my hands away staring at him and disgust..

"Penny why do you want me to do this the hard way!?...don't you know I hate seeing you cry!? ..so please lighten up would ya?" "Leave me alone please am begging you don't do this to me James please for old times sake
Max POV I felt Penny tighten her grip on my shirt...i stole a glance at her and found out she's shivering...she closed her eyes tightly probably cause of the smoke I need to get her out of here now...I can't afford putting her health at risk "So what's it gonna be Max?... times are wasting and as you can see the building is falling apart so make your decision now!" he snapped this time visibly angry...he played with his dagger glaring at me like a devil he is "Like I said before you ain't laying your dirty fingers on her not when am alive..."he laughed hysterically like a mad person "Don't worry Max once you're dead I'll finally settle the score with Penny" "Max" I heared Penny whisper my name "I..I don't want you getting hurt cause of me "she whispered almost in audibly getting down from my arms Huh? I stared at her quizzcally as she stood up staright...looking at Oliver "Penny this is really not a good
I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar room I blinked my eyes rapidly seating up straight on the bed...where am I?... and what happened? I slapped my forehead frustratedly trying to hard to remember..my head was bandaged nicely..I crumbled my face trying so hard to remember What happened?...how did I get here?...and mostly importantly..who am I? So many Images filled my head with unfamiliar faces A man walked in holding a tray containing breakfast Who the heck is he?.....I sat at the edge of the bed staring at the mable floor "Max you're awake" Max...huh?.. so that's my name "How are you doing ?"he asked placing the tray on the table "Guess am fine " "You sure?... how's your head?... it's been a week since you lost consciousness "he replied seating next to me "A week?...what happened?"

Penny POV Earlier.... I wore my hoodie cap properly before jumping down the window...I know what Max wants is my safety....he would never let me go to see my dad... but I just have to go For 10 good years this question has always been on my mind...I've had sleepless nights cause of this ...I ain't gonna let this opportunity slip by me I just pray Max won't get upset...I thought walking hastily down the empty street I sat on a bench next to the water fountain... running my eyes through the park hoping to see my dad "Looking for someone ?"I heard him snarled behind me ...I turned abruptly to see him grinning with his hands tucked in his trousers pocket...I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden...maybe it was a bad idea coming here... but it's too late to step back now... "Am here as you asked... now tell me what I wanna here" my voice cracked a bit "Why are you in a haste?... it's still early" "Just fûcking tel
