Chapter 29 -----------“I fell in love with you just the first day I met you, Matt.” I confessed, “But I never dreamt of you having the same feelings,” I sobered at his back.“Yeah, I felt the same, I was shocked to see a beautiful girl like you, working for me as my maid. I had to control my feelings, and also confirm if you were the right person.” He said back, turning his head to rest for a kiss on his cheek.I wanted more of the kiss but the rains were getting worse. I wanted to be kissed all night long but Matt wasn’t thinking about something else. My wheelchair, and how we were going to get up there. He carried me at his back like a baby girl. When he reached the children’s playing grounds which were always empty and unlocked, he made me sit on a chair while he lay down to rest and enjoy the rain.“Matt, I love you so much,” I said, falling on top of him and kissing him passionately. His lips tasted like sweets, so I suck saliva from his mouth. Maybe, the rain entered his mou
Chapter 30------------“Please, I can’t breathe. Let me go.” I pleaded with my hands tied at my back and against a solid hard round object. I could not breathe properly and I could not hear any talk nor move, yet I pleaded to be let free. I sat on the floor and from the feeling, I figured there was sand. But my cry and screams hitting back at me gave me courage, it was an enclosed area, and that gave me a bit of comfort.I stayed on the ground trying to get myself out of whatever thing they tied my hand with, but it was a strong knot and my strength couldn’t make any change towards it. “Kate!!” a woman echoed in the room, “the devil was right beside me, yet I blamed and killed an innocent Angel.” She added and rustled a metallic object.“Who are you, please let me go,” I begged, tried to stand up but fell on my side.“A sick girl… a sick poor wretched girl who wants the prince charming for herself! The person speaking didn’t sound familiar. I was thinking it was Catherine but that
Chapter 31---------------MATT’S POV*********“They took my daughter away,” Kate’s mother cried, “I can’t remember anything aside from letting them in. Do you think she’s dead?” tears rolled over, as she cleaned most.Her room was scattered, things lay here and there. Her jewelry, clothes and dresses, papers and pictures, and a lot of other unimportant stuff but there were no traces of blood in the room. I saw my coat safely hanging on the wall. But that wasn’t what I was looking for. “Did they leave anything here?” I asked.“Yes! Yes!” She scrubbed through the papers and brought out one and started to read, “Report to the police, and your daughter will be gone.” She handed it to me after she had read it.“Where is her friend?”“Cassandra is in school.” She said and began to touch her heart.“Are you alright, ma?” She couldn’t let her word out. She left her mouth ajar and sat back in her chair and looked up. Her face was so pale like a ghost. I suspected she wasn’t alright when I
Chapter 32********KATE’S POV----------------I kept peeping through the doors, and windows at the hotel to make sure I was safe. My instinct didn’t rest, although I had spoken to Matt on the phone assuring me that my mother was safe and he’d come for me after a family meeting in their house. Some Hours Earlier ****************When that woman told me she was taking me to Wales, she gave me a dress that covered my body without letting me take a shower. I suspected they were up to something else rather than taking me to Wales. least did I know they were going to kill me and dump me at a place where no one would find me. Not even a part of me. “Follow me,” she said, letting me take the lead.She gave me another glass of water, which I took. After a few minutes, I began to feel tipsy. I think those bastards dragged me. The next thing I saw was a big bag in which they put me. When I realized, I was in the bag, and felt a movement. They were transporting me like goods.Later, the car
CHAPTER 33-----------------They sped and tried to fly with their car when they saw that we were accelerating. I thought our car was fast, but theirs was faster. They drifted and landed in front of us, blocking the road with their being made a barrier. “It is over,” I cried and tried to open the door to surrender to them, thinking we had no other choice than to give myself to them. I was afraid that, they might kill me as well as Antonio, “It’s me they want, let me go.”“It is not over. I don’t surrender to anyone except my master,” he boasted to encourage me, locking the door and powering the engine. They stood in front of our car, pointing the same gun at us. But Matt’s bodyguard was playing a-win-or-lose game with my life. I had only one chance to live and didn’t want to gamble with death on it.“Do you think this will work?” I asked, trembling and confused. “Sure!” he assured me and reversed the car. They ran back into their after failing their shots which did not touch anyone
CHAPTER 34----------------- I tiptoed back and closed the door gently as if I did not feel bad about that. As if I was fine. As if I did not care. This was my first shock ever since I fell in love with Matt. When my mother talked to me about catching his boyfriend in bed with another woman, I did not understand why she broke up with him and couldn’t move on again.“Very tough girl, huh?! I know you are hurt in there.” Catharine annoyingly pulled my legs.I wished I could hurt her with something or just push her from where she stood to the last floor as vengeance, but it wasn’t a good distance that would kill her or break her like me. “I am not hurt, if he loves Angela, it’s fine. At last, you have found whom he loves.” I respectfully said, “I am just his maid.” She kept laughing at me, maybe my facial expression was damn bad! I could not hide the pain. Yeah, I could not! The politician, for some time, was just gazing at me from head to toe and then, rested his eyes on my arm. “Wh
CHAPTER 35----------MATT’S POV--------“She said she wants to speak to you,” I said, trying as much as possible not to care about what I had seen.I did not take a quick action because, I expected this to be going on when he dropped her by my house, and how she was looking into his eyes while they danced the last time? It said a lot about these dudes. I wondered If they set me up to fall in love with her, in order to get something from me, I think they are on the wrong track! I must still win her love for myself even if my brother needs to die. My childhood lover I had always longed for and was patiently talking to. I did not want to take her by force, or start a new love but wanted her to remember. How pathetic she feigned ignorance against me, and kissed my stepbrother in my face, behaving as if she didn’t see me. Was she trying to break my heart or test my love? “Where is she?” she asked, her tone as if she had a problem with me which I didn’t know about.“I know you were k
Chapter 36-----------“How’s her condition, doctor?” he asked a doctor who passed by, with Kate following him, “tell me something, Kate.”“He said she will be fine, that’s all he told me.” She sat on an empty chair beside her, holding a diary to her chest. ‘She will be fine? Not possible.’ I talked to myself putting the gun back into my coat and moving to them as I changed my plans. She did not talk, she just looked at me. I wasn’t putting on my usual face. I was wearing the mask of the devil. I was just angry and not ready to tolerate it. I sat between them and crossed my legs too.“Excuse me, guys. I think I need to fetch some tea.” Packer went away, missing the talk. He looked scared as he walked narrowly and swiftly.Kate looked at me with those sexy eyes and all I could hear was, “I lied, I don’t love you, Matt. I love someone else.” She said, just as her mother had told me, “I thought you were my Hero, but I think I am a mile away from finding my real hero.”“Well, I can’t sto
Chapter 45Kate's POV"Who is your father? Is that why you came here?" I winced at the question, not wanting to delve into painful memories. "I don't want to talk about it. Let's forget about it," I abruptly cut the conversation short, desperately needing some rest. I lay down silencing myself.Packer seemed even more worn-out than I were, trying to steal glances at me surreptitiously. Our eyes would meet, and then he would hastily divert his gaze to his tablet, pretending he wasn't watching me. Before I knew it, exhaustion overtook me, and I drifted off into sleep.NY City. Matt's Mansion----------------------The next morning, I found myself back in Matt's mansion; the new room he gave me. As I pondered on the events of the previous day, I couldn't believe I had been rescued. My life had taken an unexpected turn, all because of my own troubles. Lost in thought, a loud pounding on the door startled me. "Come in," I called out. It was none other than Matt, with his striking grey-dye
Chapter 44Matt’s Pov“I can’t track it any longer. I think the phone is off or something is wrong with it,” Antonio announced, “it keeps blinking. It is not stable and we can’t rely on it.”The more we got closer, the more she went further. We tracked her for so long and sometimes lost the signal. We were in the middle of a road, very far from Darren’s house, but thank goodness she was still with me.“I put a tracker on her,” Doreen said and pulled her phone to lead the way, “we can’t drive through this place, we can only walk.” She added.Not wasting much time, we started jogging as fast as we could. Reaching a place, howls of wolves were heard all over. I was afraid, but my gun kept me company. “Wait, guys!” Packer exclaimed, and picked a phone from his feet, “I found something.” It was Kate’s phone. I knew her phone and she decorated it with toy stickers. “Give it to me,” I snatched it from him, turned it on, and figured the battery wasn’t dead. Someone might have purposely done
Chapter 43 *********Kate’s Pov*********** This was a trip I regretted embarking on. I was here to find my Hero but it seems I came to fall in trouble rather. “What is wrong with you?” I asked the man who said he was my Hero, “Why did you lie to me?” I angrily asked him. “Shut up, I can’t be your lost boyfriend. I am not your hero nor have I heard of a person by that name.” he walked out, after receiving an alert on his phone, dropping mine on a box that he was standing behind.The place looked like a warehouse. I was tied up to one old forklift. Rusted cars, parts of machines, and boxes scattered all over the place and as dusty as shit! I could barely inhale and exhale, but I contrived little by little.“What do you want from me??” I asked the remaining bodyguards who stood around me, but none of them answered as if they didn’t speak English, “Get me some food, I am fucking hungry. Is this how you treat your dogs?” I inquired.For about a day and a half days, I was captured and
Chapter 42MATT’S POVRight after I noticed Kate was gone, I went to my mother’s house. Luckily, she had nowhere to go so she was home. “Stay out of my way!!” I yelled. I was extremely vexed and filled with hatred. The security figuring that out prevented me from entering the house, but it was a big mistake for them to try that as I punched one on his nose. Blood oozed from his nose as the others fell back pointing their guns at me.“If you move another step, I’ll shoot!” one of them warned. “Do you know me?” I asked, attacking him to collect his weapon while the others stood to watch. I shot in the air to waste his bullets, and to show them I was fucking serious and wasn’t ready to play games. My mother came to stand at the top of her building and yelled “Let him in,” after realizing I was eager to meet her.“What makes you so angry, Matt?” she asked, holding her glass of drink. Her face was painted as always.“What do you know about Kate’s attack!?” I angrily questioned. She too
CHAPTER- 41 *********The next day, when we had had enough talk and happy moments, Amanda wasn’t worried about her husband’s lost job. She said, “God knows the best,” she would smile after spewing out those words. Her husband was busy having a talk with the kids on the balcony and laughs and giggles were only heard. They were a very great family, I guessed. “Do you work?” she asked me.“Yeah, I work as a maid,” I whispered at the back of my voice and grinned. She did seem surprised, it seemed alright for her, and didn’t want to continue with that. Soon, we heard someone pounding at the door, “Are you expecting someone, sweetheart?” she asked her husband who was seriously playing with his kids and running after them. “No!! I am not.” Suddenly, her face changed as she walked up to the door to check on the person, “is everything alright, dear?” Jackson asked when he heard nothing again. He came around the sitting room and took a quick peep at the person who knocked. “Is everything a
Chapter 40 *********5 Days Later - Kate’s Pov *******************When the day was set for me to leave for Wales, I was somehow nervous but my mother cleared it away. She had given me some money I never expected, saying, “Take this money, it’s yours. You gave it to me when I was at the hospital,” she put it in n my bag, “Call the number immediately you reach there.” “Mom, I have enough, at least for days’ accommodation,” I said, placing the money on the table, picked my luggage, and set out. I got to the airport within an hour. I went solely, Cassandra was around and had not left for school. She was taking care of my mother so I didn’t need to disturb her so much. I sat idle and mouth shut in the plane as I kept thinking about what to do when I reached there. Besides, no one was coming to meet me. “Hello, I am Jack.” The man who sat beside me said, tucking
Chapter 39---------------“What did I just do?” I blamed myself after we finished having sex. It was not as exciting as I have read on the internet. I got to the washroom, and there I examined and took a careful look at my face, boobs, and VG to see if there had been an immediate change. I didn’t see anything, not even the blood I thought I would see. I went back to dress up to leave his room, “now, can I come back to work for the rest of the month?” I asked as I dressed up. He was still lying in bed, with his blanket covering only his lower part. “Where are you going?” he asked, “didn’t you come here because of me? To let me know you love me? This tells me that, Kate.” he assumed. “Do you love all the women you have had sex with?” I questioned.He also got down and turned his back on me. He wore his pants and then went to his wardrobe looking for a different white T-shirt and took his seat. “You are different, just know that. I can force you to love me, to be only mine but I just
Chapter 38--------------The next day, I stepped out early in the morning wearing a hot spangle dress Matt bought me. The birds chirped and sang their morning songs as they saw me so hot in it. Only a few automobiles sped and vibrated on the road, where I stood. The bus stop wasn’t heavy at all. I wondered what was going on. It was 7:00 Am and it wasn’t normal to be like that. I looked left and right, stretching my neck to see the yellow-long omnibus, but it was not coming. I was feeling so reluctant to walk. And much of it would trigger my healing foot.‘Why am I doing this early in the morning?’ I wondered and started walking back home. From the bus stop to where I lie was just a stone's throw. “So soon?” my mother asked, taking the breakfast I had prepared for her. “The bus.” I disappointedly whispered. “Yeah, today is Sunday. Have you forgotten?” she clarified and took a bite of her bread, after swallowing it she continued, “I wouldn’t go there now if I were you, I would wai
Chapter 37----------------KATE’S POV-----------------At Kate’s home**************My mother was not hungry, so it did not matter how much time I spent outside. And besides, she had stopped being lazy, she could now prepare something for herself and do a bit of clean-ups. In the morning, I went to the grocery store to get some vegetables. I stopped by Cassandra’s room, instead of getting into mine.“Cassandra,” I called, dropping the paper bag in an empty basket in her room, “I missed...”“Don’t even let it out!” she yelled, “what shows you miss me?” she added and continued her popcorn as she sat on her sofa watching TV.She was right about that. Ever since she left for school, I had not called to check up. No, this was the only semester and it wasn’t even over. She had just come home for a week's holiday.“Well, did you call, text, or even send me a voicemail?” I retaliated, trying to pick up our stupid fight which had no proper basis. It was just a ladies' thing, “I’ve been throu
