Henry headed back to his office right after the meeting. He strode elegantly. He had gotten used to both their presences in his office. After sitting through a meeting for the entire morning, he could not wait to see them.When he entered the office, he scanned around, but the mother-daughter pair was nowhere to be seen.Why were they not in the office?Henry’s face dropped and he frowned. He took his phone out and made a call, looking displeased.Where did she go? Did she take orders without his permission?“Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable…” A sweet robotic voice sounded from the other end.She would not switch off her phone if she were out taking orders.If she was not working, where would she go?Henry searched for them in the pantry to no avail. He turned around and walked out.When Shaun saw the chairman walking toward the office, he called Monique immediately, but her phone was turned off.He felt that something was not right. Given Monique's request ea
“The girl you saw before you got down the car, that Xavier guy who always bothered you in the parking lot, and another guy that I don’t really know. There were three of them.” Angel racked her brain to recall.They probably reduced the dosage on Angel, thinking that she was just a little girl. That was why she managed to wake up earlier than the anticipated time and managed to see them leaving.There were three of them!Monique instantly realized that Cindy had teamed up with Xavier to take revenge against her. They even found a helper.A wave of panic overwhelmed Monique. Could they escape from this?She had to, no matter what, for Angel’s sake!“Angel, don’t be afraid. Mommy will find a way out,” Monique comforted Angel. She increased the force and tried to free her hands from the restraints. Her wrist bled from the friction on the ropes.“Mommy, I’m not afraid. My hands are almost free, don’t worry,” Angel comforted her in a similar manner. She was just a five-year-old kid; s
“What do you want?” Monique yelled furiously.There were two people behind Xavier; Cindy and another short, skinny, and hideous-looking middle-aged man, Randal. He looked even more perverted than Xavier.Monique recognized him as one of the guys who harassed the girls in the group chat.However, she could not understand why he was willing to help Xavier. Kidnapping was a crime!Monique was terrified, but she knew she could not show any signs of weakness. If she exposed her fear, they would exploit it and taunt her further.“What do you think?” Xavier pointed at her heaving breasts and laughed perversely.Monique lowered her gaze and saw that the top two buttons of her shirt were unfastened. Her swollen skin and the reddened marks from the restraints starkly contrasted on her fair complexion. Xavier gulped visibly while he stared at her.Monique was horrified and stumbled backward, quickly buttoning her shirt.Since there were three of them, she knew that there was no way that s
Her spit landed on Randal’s face and he scrunched his face.Xavier burst out laughing when he saw his expression. “What a useless fool, having your ass handed to you by a little girl.”Randal felt insulted and raised his hand to slap Angel.Monique was trembling with fear, but she panickedly kicked him in the chest to protect Angel.It caught him by surprise and he fell to the ground.Monique’s head started spinning. The first thought that came into her mind was to escape. She ran and yelled, “Help! Help!”“Running, you b*tch!?” Xavier caught up and blocked her path. He gave her a rough slap.Monique’s face burned from the pain. She began to see stars and was struggling not to collapse.“Kick me, will you?! You f*cking c*nt!” Randal stood up and slapped Monique again.Monique dropped to the cold, hard floor. Blood dripped down the corner of her mouth. Her cheeks were burning from the force and her ears were ringing loudly.“Mommy! Are you okay!” Angel asked Monique in terror
The thought of going to prison terrified Cindy!“You b*tch, if you make a sound. We’ll get you too!” Randal threatened Cindy. He was afraid that she would have changed her mind and ruined their plan.Cindy had already been panicking, a wave of horror overwhelmed her when she heard his warning.She turned around instinctively, wanting to have escaped from there.Randal immediately went after her to grab her. She struggled frantically, “Let me go! Get off me! I’ll call the cops!”He had been worried that she would have ran off and reported what had happened to the police. When he heard her yell out loud, he tightened his grip and tied her hands with a rope. Since she had been decent-looking, he might as well doubled his enjoyment.When Monique saw that the guy had chased after Cindy and left Xavier alone, she shoved him forcefully and grabbed Angel to have prepared to sprint.However, she had only taken a step when she was forced to pull back. Angel’s other hand had been seized by
Cindy retreated in horror while she begged him sobbingly, “Please! Don’t do this! Please let me go.”“Why are you crying? You’re just going to ruin the mood.” Randal slapped Cindy and strangled her while he lowered himself to have kissed her and his other hand wandered to all parts of her body.Cindy widened her eyes in shock while she kicked and bit him frantically.“B*tch! Let’s see how arrogant you’ll be after today!” Xavier also bent down to stroke Monique’s face while he curled his lips with desire.“You guys are committing a crime. You’ll face jail time.” Monique forced herself to think calmly when she saw that Xavier had been approaching her. She told him, “I have money now. If you let me go, I’ll give you 5 million!”“5 million?” Xavier hesitated. He could have had any woman he wanted with that amount of money.“Right, if you let us go, I’ll transfer 5 million to you right away and I promise I won’t call the cops,” Monique assured him.She had been trying her best to hol
“Who is it?” Randal exclaimed. All of them looked towards the door puzzledly.They had been in an abandoned warehouse in a deserted area. Nobody would have visited that place on their own. Before they could have reacted, a well-built man in black strode into the warehouse. His motions had been swift and elegant like a panther. He looked rather posh. The invisible rage radiating from him thickened the air, the eyes on his charming face had been so sharp that they could have killed.He immediately noticed Monique, covered in dirt as if she had rolled on the floor with cuts and bruises covering her face. She shielded Angel and had an expression as if she had been ready to die.Henry felt a sharp stabbing pain in his chest. He should have come earlier.His eyes turned feral.There had been a dead silence in the warehouse. Xavier and Randal had been immobilized and they trembled in fear when they had seen that Henry entered with a strong presence.When Monique saw him, she had been
He was Henry Moore, the chairman of Marriott International.His movements had been so captivating. Cindy had never seen anybody who fought so graciously. He attacked like a panther, elegant yet deadly.If she had not been tied up, she would have dived towards him and laid beside his feet.How could this man have been Monique’s husband and the father of the kid?Impossible! There must have been a mistake.Why did he choose Monique? She had just been a janitor. If she managed to bag a man with the status Young Master Moore had, why did she not? She was a student at University H for Heaven’s sake!Cindy’s jealousy consumed her mind and turned into deep hatred. She blamed Monique for having put her in that situation.Henry hurried to Monique’s side while Shaun ran behind him. His face was flushed red while he breathed heavily, as if he had just ran for a long distance. Before the car stopped entirely, the chairman had disappeared and he could not even keep up with him.He had never
