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

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

    Chapter Seventy-one Travis pov “Here it is.” Davis stretched out the file to me. I read through it and I could not believe what I found to be true. “You mean, you want to start this organization with this amount of money and all you want me to do is carry on the project excellently, while you get 40% of the share?” I was in doubt. The money he wanted to use to begin it was in millions of dollars. “Why do you think I can handle this project?” “I know you, Travis. I know you from the news and I've always known you as a good businessman. I am not involved in business but I invest my money into it and take my shares. Also, I have always wanted to work with you. It was a better opportunity meeting you at the coffee shop today.” “But… So you mean you knew who I was all along?” “Yes, I did.” He smiled at me. I didn't even know what to say or how to react. It was going from just random to official. I know that officially I had to behave seriously. “You can use the money to sort

I'd wait then.” I drove to Alex's home. I was used to being there, nothing was new about being there. I parked my newly gifted car in front of his house and went in to make myself comfortable. I was very happy. I had the answer to the majority of my problems and I was ready to run again. I did not know when I fell asleep while waiting for Alex to be home. “Travis,” Alex’s gentle call woke me up. “I have been calling your name for a while now.” I opened my eyes without changing my position. “Really? I only heard you once though.” I sat up as he walked closer to me and sat on the sofa opposite where I sat. “I'm sorry about the crowd earlier today. I honestly have no idea how they knew you were there. I think

My life was in a better shape and even though It wasn't perfect, I was living the future I had always dreamed and hoped for. I stood in front of the large windows in the parlor, looked out of it and took a very deep breath. “Come back here! If I catch you, I will eat all your candy.” “You won't catch me then!” Johnson was running after Norah. It was not going to be my first time experiencing such as they have both been best of friends since we all moved in together. “I've told you two. No running around.” I said and shook my head. Travis was the one handling the major companies owned by my dad. He and my dad had become very close following the incident with Henry.

    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five Annabelle_ The tunnel led to one of the trees in the compound. I walked out of it and snuck to the back of the several police vans that were parked in the compound. I was on the lookout for Alex because I wasn't sure of who to trust. I saw Henry and hid behind the car. I couldn't afford him to see me and then come up with another lie that he wasn't the one behind my kidnap. Someone touched me from behind and I lost my breath for a while. I turned back slowly towards the person and found that it was Alex. I took a deep breath of relief and hugged him. “What happened?” He asked, concerned. I was still trying to get my breath, when he yelled, “Medics, medics.” And the whole attention drifted towards us. Immediately, I could see them putting handcuffs on his hands and leading him into the car like the criminal that he was. “Travis, Travis is badly injured. He has lost a lot of blood.” Those were the first words I said to Henry so they could go a

I wasn't even sure if he was still alive. “Travis, can you hear me? Travis!” I yelled. I couldn't afford his death.“Yes, I can hear you.” He said in a very low voice. I knew he was losing a lot of blood and he was in severe pain.“Can you loosen me? I know it's hard for you to get up but if you can try, it would help us out. We can't stay here. Now is our time to get out of this house because I can hear people walking back and forth in his house. I'm sure they are looking for us.” I said to him to encourage him to get up. Travi

    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-ThreeAnnabelle_All I saw was the blood of Travis spilling on the floor like someone had made an incision on a bottle.I picked a cloth that I saw in the room and used it to tie around his arm. I was very displeased with Henry as he stood and watched me take care of Travis' hands unremorsefully.“What has gotten into you? Why are you doing all this?” I asked with so much pain in my heart. I couldn't understand how Henry became the way he was all of a sudden.“Get back to your seat and tie yourself at this moment, Annabelle.” He yelled at me. “You should not have pushed me to the wall all these years. You are the reason why I'm like this. Yes, it's all your fault.”Travis tried to help himself up from the chair I sat him on so that I could help him with his hand and reduce his bleeding. The cloth I had used to tie his hand was filled in no time and I could see that Travis was losing a lot of blood at that time.“Let's take him to the hospital. You know he

I used that opportunity to search around the room for any sign of Annabelle and Johnson.“Annabelle! Annabelle!” I whispered as I entered every part of the room downstairs.Then while walking on the corridor, I walked on a part of the floor that felt like something was beneath it.I went back to look at the stairs to be sure I could still hear Travis playing his song, which he was before I went down to check what it was.“This very strange man. Heaven knows where he kept Annabelle.” I tried to open the thing but I couldn't get how it was being handled. It had a complex

    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty OneTravis_I received a call from an unknown number. It was very late at night. I had thought it was probably Annabelle because I had been expecting her to call me but I did not receive any calls from her.When I saw that it was unknown, I did not take the call because I was still hurting from the fact that Henry was playing the hero when he did not help to find Johnson at all from the onset. “He's my son. She's supposed to allow me to come along irrespective of what Henry was going to say or do. Don't I deserve to see him too?” I said to myself inwardly.Norah had slept off on my leg. We sat together in the parlor watching a movie.My phone kept ringing and ringing so I became forced to pick up the call. I did not say anything after picking up the call.“Can you hear me?” The person whispered and it made me curious. I placed Norah's head properly on the chair and stood up to receive the call in a place where she would not be disturbed.“Who is this?” I

I'm warning you. You know how this will end. It will surely end badly for both of us. Just let me leave peacefully.” “You are not leaving through that door. Not today and not until you sign the wedding document.” He said and got closer to me. He pulled me with force to himself and began to kiss my body against my will. “Get off me! Get off!” He disgusted me but he held me so strong. It was very hard for me to move my body away from him. It was as though he wasn't the same Henry I had known. “Stop it, now!” I continued to shout at him but he would not let me go. I stretched my hand to reach the vase that was used to decorate his parlor. I was able to reach it and I slammed it on his head with all the force I had. I didn't know what to do next and he did not give me any option. All that was

We had to drive for a long time for us to get to Henry's place. “Why does it look as if Henry is not around?” We were able to get into the house because the gate was not locked. “It's very strange that Henry's gate is open. He never opens his gate.” I said to Brooklyn who was driving the car.“Just be patient. It's late already and he was expecting you. So why wouldn't he leave his gate open?” I knew Brooklyn was tired of hearing all my complaints.“I don't feel good about this honestly. Something is wrong somewhere.” I said to Brooklyn, “Don't drive to the front of the building itself. Park around here.” Henry's compound had some gardens and big trees that one would go through before one would get to his house. I just wasn't comfortable with the way I felt.She sighed but did as I said.“I'd go in by myself alone. You should stay in the car in case anything bad happens.”Brooklyn ga

I was surprised she said that out loud so I turned to look at her.Travis smiled and said, “Well, Samantha loves her things to be perfectly the way she likes them.
