CHAPTER 22
They went to a different place to eat their launch. Tyler wouldn't want any of Rhyan's people to see him and Aubrey eating together. He just wanted to eat and spend time with Aubrey peacefully and knowing Rhyan's personality, things wouldn't end well if Rhyan caught them together.
When they reached the restaurant, Tyler immediately ordered food for them to eat. Though Aubrey planned to make a fool out of Tyler, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when everything Tyler ordered, was her favorite dishes.
They were talking and laughing as they were eating. The whole time, Aubrey felt disgusted at Tyler's smiling face that she struggles to swallow the food in her mouth. Tyler acted the way he was years ago when he was still wooing Aubrey. He was kind, gentle, and caring. One wouldn't feel uncomfortable around him, instead, they would want to get closer to him. He was the kind of man Aubrey can lean on and put her trust. But now, no matter how good Tyler treats he

She knew Rhyan hired someone to follow her and watch her every move and she thought she has shaken off the spy Rhyan, but she was utterly mistaken. Rhyan hired not one, not two, but five people to watch Aubrey’s every move. Rhyan has been suspicious of Aubrey’s behavior since she suddenly asked him to go on a vacation, and accidentally bumped into Tyler. “Care to explain why you two are together?” Rhyan asked staring at Aubrey’s eyes. It’s as if he’s trying to see through her body and soul. “I bumped into him outside the Ritz hotel…” Aubrey replied.Rhyan’s brows furrowed, he couldn’t help but get more suspicious. “And what are you doing there?” He asked p

Said Tyler. "I don't have time for unnecessary things!" Fiona exclaimed. "And you have so much time barging in my office?" Tyler said raising a brow. "I came here to talk to you abou-" She said but Tyler cut her off. "Is this about Aubrey again?" He asked annoyed. "Yes, it is! Are you really going to steal Aubrey from Rhyan?!" Fiona said through gritted teeth. Tyler furrowed his brows, "Is this the reason why you came barging in my office like you own the place?" He uttered. "Why? It's not like it's my first time being here!" Fi

I'll make sure you pay for it no matter what! I'll take her back to where she belongs!" Tyler said through gritted teeth as he stares at the pictures on his hands.But then he remembered what he did to Aubrey five years ago. What Rhyan did cannot be compared to how he treated Aubrey. His mind was then filled with the images of Aubrey crying as she kept begging him to stop hurting her. Her cries echoed in his ear like it was just yesterday."Fuck!" He mumbled and walked towards the table beside his bed.Tyler placed the pictures on top of the table and sat on his bed with his hands covering half of his face.

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME?" Rhyan said punching the door making his hand bleed.Aubrey didn't say a word. She kept on trembling as she hugs her knees shaking in fear.

She hear the doorknob unlocked.She forgot that they had spare keys in the room and Rhyan used the spare key to open the door.

"Uhm..." Rhyan groaned as he wakes up. He looks exhausted and his head is throbbing due to a hangover. He remembered everything that has happened last night. He feels bad for Aubrey as it was not his intention to hurt her, but he ended up doing so. He turned to look at the other side of the bed as he was facing the other hoping to see Aubrey sleeping soundly. But, contrary to his wishes, Aubrey is not there. He started to panic and immediately went to the bathroom to check, but she's not there too. He rushed outside of the room and looked for their maid, Linda. He saw her cleaning in the kitchen and immediately ran towards her. "Where's Aubrey?" He asked Linda grabbing her arms. Linda gasped in surprise, she hadn't seen Rhyan coming her way.

TWO DAYS LATER, Rhyan was sitting in his study when the doorbell rang. His servant immediately went to see who it was and saw a package outside the gate. The maid had no idea what to do about the package so she went to inform Rhyan about the unknown package. "Sir, there's a package outside the gate... Nothing's written on the box, so I don't know who it is from and whom to give it to. What should I do about it?" The maid asked cautiously. Her name is Marin, Linda's friend. They started working on the same day and they're the same age so they get along pretty well. She was there when Linda was dragged outside but she's too powerless she couldn't help her at all. After witnessing what happened to Linda, Marin made sure to act as cautious as possible around Rhyan. She made sure to perform her job better even without any eyes watching. Because just like Linda, Marin also needed this job for her family. "Bring the package here," Rhyan answere

Aubrey too has no idea why, but she feels safe in Tyler's embrace. Though she no longer hates him, she can't forgive him either. But still, with him by her side, she feels like she could loosen her guard down for a while and let herself free from all the accumulated pain weighing in her heart. "We found her!"
