Chapter 4: No Other Choice But To Stay
Last Updated:
2022-11-04 16:07:10She thought she could successfully escape from the building and head to the airport to meet her crew, but unfortunately for her, the moment she stepped out of the secret elevator, David was already standing outside of it waiting for her with a devil like look on his face like he was going to bring an end to her at that moment.
Now she was sitting across him on a single couch with her hands crossed in her chest as she fixed her gaze on the ceiling.
Although she isn’t looking at David, but she could feel his sharp gaze on her.
When she recalled how devilish his eyes looked earlier, she is sure that right now he is staring at her with same murdurous look on his face.
There was complete silence in the living room as none of them has spoken a word.
Before they came up to the penthouse he had made her call her crew members to tell them she was going to return to the United States on a later date and that they could leave on their own. David had sent his body guard to go collect her things from them in the airport.
They surely will be wondering why she has decided to stay back in Italy when she herself was reluctant to come in the first place.
“Why” David found himself asking
Hanan shift her gaze from the ceiling and looked at him “why what?”
She knew what he was referring to, but acted like she didn’t.
David stared at her for a while before standing up from the couch “I have given you two options, do not make me add a third option”
Third option? Hanan thought to herself, if he was going to give her a third option then it will definitely not favor her.
When he was about to walk away she suddenly spoke
“I can’t be here David, you should let me go”
There was sudden silence, she watch as he back shoulder raised up and down and his fist clenched.
“Why can’t you be here, explain that to me!?
He turned towards her
“You can’t understand”
“What can’t I understand? Tell me and I will surely try and understand.
Hanan sighed and placed both hands on her face. She wants to tell him but there is no way she was going to do that, she can’t tell him what led to her disappearance ten years ago.
She being in Italy will endanger her life and that of her family and might even endanger his.
She looked up at him and said “because I do not love you anymore David, I was still 17 thing then and didn’t know what I was doing, now I’m older and can now easily differentiate infatuation and love.
“My life is in the United States so I can’t be hear.
David’s grip on the suit he was holding on his hand tightened.
“Your parents are living in St. Augustine in the United States, am I correct?”
Hanan’s eyes widened “How did youu…?”
“You should know by now who you are dealing with”
Hanan shivered
She knew who she was dealing with, she knows what he is capable of doing. David might bring her parents back to Italy and keep them under watch or he might even take them somewhere to prevent her from ever seeing them.
If she keeps on insisting on returning back to the United States, she will be risking the lives of her parents.
Hanan felt a cold chill on her body, so she looked up at at him and said “Fine”
“I will move back to Italy which includes moving my business here too”
David was satisfied with her response
“But you would have to give me a week to put things together in the United States before returning”
“Fine by me”
David left the penthouse to go continue with his work.
Hanan wrapped her body together on the couch and sighed. Since she was using a different name, then maybe she won’t be in danger.
*******
The following day, she left Italy and returned back to the United States.
She quickly went to her penthouse and changed her dress before heading to her fashion house.
If was before, she would have followed the back door into her fashion house, but today she followed the front door.
Putting on a strapless shirt back gown with a beautiful design from one of her collections and then pairing it with a sandal high heels and a brown Hermes bag in her hand, she elegantly walked through the front door of her fashion house.
The moment she stepped in, all eyes was on her.
Her workers whispered amongs themselves
They most be wondering who she was
“She might be a customer” one said
“She is so beautiful and fashionable” another person said
They were speaking loud enough for her to hear.
She smiled at what they said and headed to the elevator.
They were shocked when they saw her heading to the private elevator which is only used by the top fashion crew in the last two floors of the building.
“She must be a new top fashion designer” someone said
She smiled at the comments before getting into the Elevator and going to the top floor.
“Woooo, she went to the top floor” someone who have been standing close by to see which floor she will head to, suddenly screamed
“Really!”
“Really!”
They all ran towards the private elevator to see if it was true
“It really is the top floor!”
“Isn’t that where the CEO’s office is?”
“It is” someone responded
The private elevator is used by the top designers of QuickFashion which are occupying the 10th and 11th floor, but apart from those floors it also leads to the the last floor.
“Or might she be our enormous Ceo” a girl standing at the side who has been quiet ever since suddenly said.
They all turned to her and started reasoning same thing.
“We don’t know that yet, now y’all should get back to work!!” The team leader who just walked through the front door, screamed at them and they all ran towards the public elevator to head to their respective floors.
The ground floor was used only in displaying their designs while the 1st to the 11th floor was strictly for work.
All her top designers were already in the top floor to welcome her.
They were surprised when the assistant told them that she will be coming through the front elevator.
They wondered why she decided to use the front elevator today when she always used the back elevator.
She likes to be enormous so why show herself to the junior staffs today?
As the senior staff and top designers in the company they all knew she is their CEO and owner of QuickFashion. They had signed an undisclosed contract not to ever reveal her identity to the junior staff or the media.
But today she had gone ahead to follow the front door.
The elevator opened and Hanan stepped out from it with a bodyguard behind her.
David didn’t allow her travel alone, he sent two of his bodyguards to follow her all the way back to Los Angeles.
She had refused at first, but he told her that if she doesn’t want then to follow her than he was going to follow her all the way there.
“Welcome back Miss Quick” They all greeted her and she smiled at them
“Thank you”
“I appreciate your warm welcome, you can all head back to work now since we have to prepare for the next season”
They all nodded and smiled in excitement for the next seasons collection.
Hanan walked into her office and sat on her chair.
“Miss Quick, here are some top sketches done by the junior department” May said as she dropped the combined sketches on the table.
“Let’s leave that for later, what I want you to do now is to send a massage to the top fashion media house telling them that the owner of QuickFashion is ready to do an interview with them”
“Huh!?” May was surprised by what she just heard “You what to reveal yourself?”
“Yes, it’s about time the world knows who the owner of QuickFashion is”

If it was another man who held her in such a way, she would have kicked that thing he had in between his legs or slapped his face hard to free his hold on her. But with David, she felt powerless and unable to do anything. David was still capable of making her heart beat rapidly and even make her blush without even doing anything. She can’t remember the last time her heart beated like this. She raised her head and looked at his face, his eyes were closed, but his grip on her was still firm. Now that she was looking at him closely, she could see how tired he was. He must have be walking all night and all morning.
