Chapter Sixty-one Travis pov “Alex, I do not like how quiet you have become. I need you to explain all that is going on with me.” Alex sighed severally before he could get himself to tell me what was going on. “According to the one security that was able to escape, he said, when he got to work earlier in the morning. It looked like the gate was breached. But he felt the security men who did the night shift would have realized if it truly was. Then he went in.” He took a pause and I had to ask him again. “Okay…? What happened next?” Alex talked slower than he normally does and I became anxious about whatever he had to say which I did not like. “Look, just take things easy, okay? We will find whoever has a hand in this. I promise you.” Alex delayed having to tell me what was truly going on and I soon ran out of patience. “Alex, I need you to tell me what happened here now. You have wasted enough of my time and I do not appreciate it.” I became stern. “Okay. The security man me
Chapter Sixty -two Annabelle pov Henry called me to his office. We were supposed to have a meeting with our main investors so we could strategize on expanding our company's reach. “Do you know that…” I was about to say when I noticed how he quickly turned off the television then I walked in with a questioning gaze. He cleared his throat. “We should get going now. We don't want to keep the investors waiting.” He stood up and packed his file. “Why are you acting all weird? What were you watching?” I wanted him to know I saw what he did so I questioned him. “Annabelle, it's nothing.” He responded and walked past me. “Are you not coming?” I shrugged, “Okay though. I'm coming.” I followed after him and we walked to the conference room. The investors were all seated while we entered. They stood up, all at once to acknowledge us as we approached them. I always like it when they do that because many of them are older and it gives me a sense of honor as a woman. “Good morning everyo
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
