"Boss, we are being followed by another cab," Oliver said from the driver's seat, he was the one that came to pick Daniel up.Daniel checked the rearview mirror and saw the cab taking every turn they made, he wondered who it was"Drive to the point where there is a CCTV so that Vincent can check out who is following me" he instructed his driver who nodded and did exactly as his boss had ordered,"Vincent, check out the cab on lane 4 CCTV, send me the picture of whoever is tailing me" he instructed through his cell phone.Vincent is a tech guy working for him, he is a very fine hacker and does even more than hacking, Daniel had seen this talent in Vincent early and had brought him into the fold, he paid him well and Vincent had no reason to worry.Daniel opened his message when it beeped and his eyes widened in surprise, his wife was tailing him. His lips twisted in a wry smile, "turn to your left" he told the Oliver"Who was that boss?" Oliver asked as he turned the steering to the le
Bella paced the house and dialed Daniel's number for the umpteenth time but she could only hear the dial tone, it was not even ringing, he always went off without informing her but this time she had a bad feeling about it.She sat on the couch and fell asleep right there on the couch. She woke up very early the next day and still had no sign of him. She quickly dialed his line and it was the same as the previous day, what could have happened? There was a knock on the door and without thinking, she ran to the door but it was Aaron"B...boss Aaron, w..what are you doing here?" She asked in confusion, it was so late in the night already, "m..my husband is not at home"Aaron's face was tight with worry and Bella had a bad feeling, did something happen to Daniel?"I want you to get some of your things and come with me""What? No, what's going on? Where is Daniel?" She asked in a raised voice"You have to come with me for your safety" Aaron replied softly but still she hesitated"I'm not le
Brittany draped the quilt over sleeping Bella and sighed, she was grateful that her friend finally stopped crying and went to sleep"You should get some sleep too," Aaron's voice said softly from the door but Brittany paid him dust, she was not ready to talk to him after what he had done to her, treating her like trash. She stood up and went to the kitchen to get some water"I haven't thanked you for coming over," Aaron said following her to the kitchen but she ignored him yet again"How long are you going to ignore me?" He asked and angrily placed the glass of water on the kitchen counter, splashing some of it all over her body"Do you expect me to jump on you the moment I see you after treating me like trash? Sorry Mr. When I said I don't want to talk to you I meant it, I am only here for my friend""I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way, it was just that I wasn't ready for the way I was feeling"She gave a hollow laughter and glared at him, "You should not have sought
Bella insisted on seeing Daniel, it had been two days since she was told that he had been found but she was not allowed to go to him, she would see him today and nothing could stop her.She grabbed Aaron's arms when he was about to go out, "I'm coming with you" she stated firmly and he sighed"It's too dangerous...""I don't care, I only want to see my husband" she insisted and he thought about it for a second before nodding, "alright but just this time, I don't want the enemy to sniff that he is vulnerable otherwise, he will be in more danger""Alright, just this once and I won't insist on seeing him again until he has completely recovered" Brittany had gone back to check on her store and promised to be back soon and Bella hoped to be back before Brittany returned.She followed Aaron out into the car and noticed the guards that came along with them, was this how she would be living in fear and going about with armed guards? She reminded herself that this was the life of Nikolai Klau
Aaron cursed as he watched the driver check on the car tire, the taxi that Bella had entered had no way in sight, damn it, his boss will have his hide if anything happens to his wife. He never knew that his boss's wife could be this handful."Women, ain't they all a handful?" He muttered when he thought about Brittany. Finally, the car tire was changed and he went straight to Daniel's house, but the place looked like there was no one inside, he hated to worry his boss but he needed to know what was going on. He told Daniel about what transpired between him and Bella and that Bella was not in his house.Daniel's heart twisted when he heard about it, did she really carry out with her plans to move out? "She said she was going to move out, I think she has, find her, I want to know where she is""Okay boss" he replied as he ended the call, she was supposed to be with the boss in this difficult time yet she chose to move out, he sighed and asked the driver to turn around.He needed to chan
When Bella opened her eyes again, she realized that she was no longer where she had been, she had been moved into a tiny room and it had been shut from the outside, the room was dark and her heart raced in fear, she was claustrophobic. "No! They can't do this to me" she murmured as tears flowed down her cheeks and she struggled to breathe, "no!no!no! Please" she kept chanting as she banged on the door agitatedly, "Please, open the door" she begged and her breath hitched when she got no response from the other side, she slid to the ground and crawled to a corner of the room, folding herself into a ball, she started counting, "1...2...3..."Her mind flashed back to when Ben, her aunt's husband used to lock her in a dark room for hours, she could hear the mice in the dark coming for her feet and she would scream and beg for her aunty to save her but even her aunt is scared of her husband and she would only tell Bella to bear with her husband. She would tell Bella to close her eyes and c
Bella groaned in pain as her eyes slowly opened, for a moment, she thought it had been a nightmare, that she would open her eyes to see herself in her room. She swallowed painfully when she woke up to find out that she was still locked in, she felt so tasty already but she sat mute, too scared to move or utter any sound only tears were silently flowing from the corner of her eyes, will Daniel come for her? She had rejected him for keeping his identity a secret from her, of course, he wouldn't care what happened to her, he shouldn't. He should be in his hospital bed recovering and not run to come looking for her.The door opened and Calvin came inside with a bodyguard, who stared at her thoughtfully, "Your husband has 72hours, if he doesn't come, you will die""You are wasting your time, I have told you that he won't come. We had separated and I was going to get a divorce, now, do you think he would come for someone that he is no longer with?"Calvin narrowed his eyes at her, "You are
Bella heard the blast and wondered what was going on, the door flung open, and furious Calvin stormed in, "come here, you witch" he said and dragged her by her hair"W. Where are you taking me?" She stuttered as she was pulled along"Your lover is here and it's time to send the both of you to the other world"Bella was shocked, Daniel came for her. Even though he was still in the hospital when she was kidnapped, he came looking for her? Tears filled her eyes, to think that she wanted to divorce him when all he had done since he met her was to risk his life to save hers."Drop your gun or I'll blow off her head," Calvin said, although, Bella could not see anyone"I won't do that if I were you" Daniel's voice boomed just before he came into view and Bella attempted to dash toward him but she was pulled back by her hair and she cried out as fiery pain shot up her scalp"Let her go or your family dies" Daniel warned and for the first time, Bella noticed the people behind him, Calvin's son
