Chapter Sixty- three Annabelle pov I hung up the call with Alex because Henry found it hard to let me be. “Let's go.” Henry held my hand and insisted I follow him to his office because he did not want the Investors to see me looking the way I did. “Please just let me be. I'm trying to think.” I had several thoughts on how Travis must be doing and I was frustrated that even after speaking to Alex, I wasn't able to get the vital information I needed to find Travis. “That doesn't matter. You can think in my office, rather than here, where people can find you at any time. No. You will follow me to my office.” Henry insisted. I was tired of how tenacious he was so I gave in. I followed him to his office while I kept my thoughts on Travis and his problem. I just couldn't think of who would have done something like that to him and what more they would do to him. I became scared on his behalf, the more I thought. We got into his office and he locked the door behind us. Though anyone
Chapter Sixty- four Annabelle pov I opened the door and walked out on Henry without responding to him. The staff stood steps away from Henry's office and watched me as I made my way out. They must have heard us as we argued. Nothing is hidden in this company. My phone rang, it was Brooklyn. I knew I had a query to answer from her for not going home last night and not responding to any of her calls. I decided to not take her call so I could have a settled head but I packed my bag. “I will deal with this when I get home,” I said aloud to myself and put the phone in my bag. I was about to leave when I saw Henry approach the door of my office. My eyes met with his just as I opened the door. “Please, not now.” I raised my hand at his face to ensure he didn't say anything to me and I walked away. I went straight to my car and sat down in it, contemplating what I should do. I turned on my engine. “Should I try to call Alex back? Why hasn't he reached out to me?” I took a deep breath
Chapter Sixty -five Annabelle pov He opened his eyes slowly and was also surprised he had slept off. He sat up and rested his back against the wall. “We need to get going now. It's very late, the weather is not favorable for us to spend the night here.” I felt my body was sore as I stood up and stretched it. “You should come with me and spend the night with me. If you want to though. I do not think you should be driving by this time of the night.” I was not sure that was a good decision to make at that time but truly it was the only option I had. I did not think too much about it because I was beginning to freeze so I agreed. He stood up and we walked out of the building. He had also parked his car outside the street that led to the building so we had to walk for a little while before we found our vehicles. Unknowingly to me, I had parked my car behind his car, but I didn't take notice. “I would just drive behind you then. I do not want to leave my car parked here so I don't
Chapter Sixty -six Annabelle pov Of course, I thought about it the right way. He wanted to be with me. He bent in and kissed me on my lips. Soon, he removed the duvet off me and the warmth of his body replaced the duvet as he laid on me. His body restricted how well I could breathe but I just loved it that way and gasped for hair. His lips brushed mine and he loosened my shirt. While he did that, I pulled down his trousers as well. I can't believe he had planned to sleep with it but I knew it was because he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable. Soon, I felt the first painful but sweet thrust go into me and out. I moaned. I had not had sex in a while. I placed my leg on his butt asking him to hit me harder. He thrusted more firmly and repeatedly. I was in a world I wanted to be in for years. He sucked on my breast till the sensations in my nipple were tingling. I did not want him to stop. I feel he let out his frustrations on the sex and I enjoyed every bit of it. He pulled ou
Chapter Sixty-seven Annabelle pov Brooklyn must have seen me as I drove in. She stood by the door and looked at me in fury. I knew I had a lot of explaining to do. I made my way to the entrance to see whose calls I had missed. It was Henry. “I will call him back later. If it's urgent, he knows where to find me.” I said, unbothered about it. “Where have you been and why haven't you been responding to your calls?” Brooklyn asked me. She did not greet or welcome me before throwing questions at me. I passed by her, into the house and responded. “I'm sorry. I had an urgent meeting to attend. Has Johnson got to school?” “I see… Something urgent that made you leave your son without telling anybody where you were going to or when you were going to be back. I do not expect this kind of attitude from you, honestly. You did not even think of your son. Is this how you just leave him and go away without any prior notice?” I wondered why Brook was taking this too far. Why would she be quest
Chapter Sixty-eight Annabelle pov Henry stood up and adjusted his clothes. The last sentence I made was truly dishonoring. I tried my best to say it in the right way, it just came off like that. He looked at me for a while as he stood, “Well, it's fine. Anything you want me to do, I'd do it.” Brook looked at me and tapped my hands a little. She wanted me to stop Henry from leaving but I shrugged her off. Henry tilted his head with his hands fixed into his pocket. Then he walked away making his way out. He stopped by the door before taking his final step out of my room. I took my eyes off him ignoring, how he walked away like he was sad. “Annabelle! Why would you behave like that to him? What you did was wrong. If you both had issues, you should have spoken to him and told us to excuse you guys.” Brook rushed me with several words the moment Henry stepped out. “Brook please!” I'm still recuperating, don't stress me. “Did you not see me while I was patiently speaking with him
Chapter Sixty-nine Travis pov I was in bed when the vibrations of my phone woke me up. I left all the responsibilities I had and stayed indoors for two days. The outside world did not feel welcoming to me. Staying indoors also helped me to mentally reenact what had happened between Annabelle and me. My head was pressed into my pillow as I stretched my left hand to the side table, tapping my hands on each part of the table to find my phone. I finally got to it and held it in my hand for a while hoping it would stop. It didn't so I had no choice but to raise my head and look at who was calling. “Alex,” the phone call ID, read. I picked up the call and in his regular low tone, he said. “I think we've found a lead on who was behind the destruction of your company.” My sleepy eyes opened up! I sat up. “I'm all ears. What's the lead?” “I can't tell you that over the phone but we caught an intel in your company that was responsible for giving them the access they had.” I did not t
Chapter Seventy Travis pov I could not understand what was going on. I saw them running in from the gate and then some people inside the coffee shop stood up with their cameras. It seemed as though I was ambushed. I had already walked far away from my car. It wasn't a safe spot for me to run back into it. I turned around looking for an exit before this roaring chaos got close to me. “Over here! Be fast!” Davis drove to me and yelled. He must have realized something was odd. It was the first time I was so grateful for meeting a new person. I hopped into the car and he zoomed off. As he drove I looked back at the people. Some of them were still running after us. I wondered what could have happened to me if he had not driven to me in time to help me. “Damn man! Who are you? It seems like you have offended the whole earth!” He laughed hysterically. “And you are walking around without a bodyguard. How fast would you like to die?” He was funnier than I thought. He did not act as
