CHAPTER 25
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Tyler immediately opened the envelope when he entered his room. His face loomed when he saw what it is. In his hands, he's holding a picture of Aubrey and Rhyan fighting. Of course, the picture includes Rhyan grabbing Aubrey's arms harshly and slapping her face.
Tyler's blood boiled upon seeing the picture.
"How dare you hurt her, Rhyan! 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.

"NO! I'm not going to talk to you when you're this drunk, Rhyan!" Aubrey said with a shaky voice.That night, when Rhyan raped her, he smells like alcohol. It means, he had been drinking alcohol that night, and thus, Aubrey couldn't help but tremble in fear as the same scent and the same voice asks her to come out of the bathroom."I've been so nice to you this whole time... 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. Rhyan isn't that scary at this moment. He was hurting and angry, but Aubrey couldn't help thinking ahead of what might happen once she open's the door."Click!" 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. She did her best trying to prevent Rhyan from successfully opening the door."ARGHHH!!!" She shouted as she fell back dow

"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. "S-She left the house a few hours ago..." Linda answered. "What time did she leave?" Rhyan gripped Linda's arm tightly. "Six in the morning, sir," Linda said. Rhyan let go o

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

"Thank god we left the house earlier. Had we left a minute later we would have been caught." Shane said.They were riding her car with their things when they encountered four black vehicles heading to the house where they were staying. They hadn't seen who the people inside the vehicles are, but they knew the purpose of those people very well."Yeah, you're right..." Aubrey answered weakly with her thoughts busy, thinking what to do.It's still 4;23 am and the kids are still asleep. Aubrey knew that it's not safe staying in one place for too long because Rhyan will be able to find her no matter where she hides."Shane, can you take care of the kids for me?" Aubrey said out of nowhere.Aubrey is sitting on the backseat with the kids sleeping on her lap. Shane looked at her with her brows furrowed."Why? You can't be planning on facing him alone are you?" She said."I am..." Aubrey immediately answered."NO, AUBREY!" Shane yelled

"You can count on me, I will help you to the best of my ability," Tyler said as he hugs Aubrey. Aubrey let herself cry in Tyler's arms. It has been so long since they've been this intimate with each other and Tyler utterly broke Aubrey five years ago but their connection with each other remains. 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!" Said the man with a black suit behind the tree with his phone on his ears. "Bring her to me," Rhyan said from the other line of the call. "Got it!" The man in a black suit answered and slowly walked out behind the tree. Tyler and Aubrey were utterly shocked to see a bulky man before them, not just one but there are three more behind him.

"No, no! This can't be real... Rhyan can't possibly locate them in that place so soon." Aubrey said as she looked at the picture with her trembling hands. "Does anyone else know they'll be staying there?" "N-No... Only the house owner, Shane's old acquaintance. But he does not know who we are, he only knows Shane so he can't be the one who's informed Rhyan about their location." "I think he does. Look!" Tyler said. He showed Aubrey trending news using his phone. Turns out Rhyan has let the public know about Aubrey's disappearance. In the news, he made it seem like Aubrey's been kidnapped and so were their children. And whoever could lead him to them will receive one million dollars. "I think everyone knows. Your face is everywhere..." "Damn! I shouldn't have run away just yet... If only I could bear staying by his side for another night this wouldn't have had to happen." "You should have told me beforehand so I could help

Before the sun rises, Aubrey and Tyler heard the screeching sound of vehicles approaching. Tyler hurriedly went to the window to check, just in case, it’s another group of black-suited men sent by Rhyan. He wasn’t wrong about the guys from those vehicles wearing a black suit but those aren’t Rhyan’s men, it’s Kai’s and Kai is also one of them. There are two vans and both are filled with his men. When the vehicles stopped right in front of the house Tyler and Aubrey are currently staying in, it is still dark but the sun will rise in just a couple more minutes. “Take them out,” Kai ordered his men. After he commanded his men, his men immediately took the twins and Shane out of the car and place them inside the house as they are all unconscious. “I did what you’ve asked, but I don’t like what you offered to do in exchange,” Kai said. “Then, what is it that you want?” Tyler asked with a frown. “Go and see our father. He’s been asking for y

"WHERE ARE THEY?!!" Rhyan shouted in anger upon seeing the room where he held Shane and the kids captive empty."Kai took them..." Glenn replied."Where is he?""I'm here..." Kai replied upon entering the room. He's just arrived."Where are the kids? And Shane?" Rhyan said raising a brow with an inflamed facial expression."I sent them to Tyler...""What? Are you out of your mind? Do you realize how much effort I put to get them?""I know,""THEN WHY?!!!" Rhyan yelled at Kai's expressionless face."Because I have a plan that will take Tyler out of your way..." Kai answered which surprised Rhyan."What plan?" Rhyan asked with a frown never leaving his face."We can frame him about the kidnapping and put him to jail."Rhyan's once enraged face turned into a sinister smile. He can't deny that Kai's idea is great. The police are on Rhyan's side, all he has to do is to make it look like it was Tyler

Rhyan and Aubrey together with the kids are having a peaceful meal when the policemen suddenly barged inside the house and arrest Rhyan.Rhyan was dumbfounded, everything happened so quickly that he wasn't able to react the way he used to. And when he's got back to his senses, he's already brought in the police station."WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Rhyan yelled.He still has yet to understand the reason why he's being held. And just as he was about to slap a policeman for going against him, a familiar voice spoke behind him which stopped him from doing anything."I wouldn't do that if I were you," Shane said with the Morris couple following behind."W-What..." Rhyan stuttered in surprise.When he's heard Mrs. Morris say that she's Aubrey's mother in the ball, he had a hunch that it could be Mrs. Morris's doing that his company ha

“I never had a mother. And if I ever had one, it would certainly be not you, Mrs. Morris. I think you got the wrong person. I’ll excuse myself then.” Aubrey said and made her way to the door.Rhyan immediately went down the stairs and before Aubrey could reach the door, Rhyan grabbed her arm.“Where do you think you’re going? Have I not told you to stay put?” He said.“Oh my god… What was that just now? Is she really Mrs. Morris’s daughter?”“Didn’t she say she isn’t though?”“Maybe she ran away and refused to acknowledge her own mother?”“Who knows…”“She must be Mrs. Morris’s illegitimate daughter.”“Who cares if she’s an illegitimate child? Her mother’s on top of the food chain...”“Yeah, right!”Rhyan looked around and everyone is lookin

DAY OF THE BALL"You look gorgeous as always." Said Rhyan looking up at Aubrey as she walks down the stairs.Aubrey just rolled her eyes and ignored him. She walked past him and went inside the car on her own. Rhyan couldn't help but sigh, he just followed her and they then both made their way to the venue." Announcing the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson." Said the person guarding the door.Aubrey and Rhyan walked inside and then suddenly, Aubrey froze and Rhyan stopped after noticing her reaction."What's the matter?" He asked with a frown.That snapped Aubrey and she answered stutteringly."N-No... No-Nothing..." She said and looked away. Obviously, something smell's fishy.Aubrey stiffened when she realized they are heading in the direction of the person she was so shocked to see.“Where are we going?” She asked nervously.“To greet the host. Where else do you think?” Rhyan

Aubrey explained to the police that Tyler hadn't kidnapped them or were they ever kidnapped. But contrary to her explanations, she was forcefully brought back home to their house.Shane and the kids are also brought with them, but Shane was brought directly to the hospital. Turns out she was raped by her ex. The one who informed Rhyan about their whereabouts. He was tempted by the money Rhyan offered to the person who can find his family so he immediately told Rhyan about them. And before he took the money away, he asked Rhyan if he could have his way with Shane.It's not like he has never touched Shane the whole time they were dating years ago, it's just that, he loved Shane so much, yet she left with another guy and he hated her for it. He raped her and was nowhere near gen
