CHAPTER 131FLASHBACK 3 DAYS AFTER BIANCA'S ARRIVAL Xavier was still perturbed by Caleb's exit just a few hours after he had arrived. It was definitely unlike him and with the slightly disturbed look that was on his face, Xavier knew that something was amiss, and he couldn't leave anything to chance. His plan to wreck his home had to work, by all means.As he picked up his phone, he mentally patted himself on his back for deciding to hire someone to trail Caleb. Mann, his man was a professional spy and hitman who had managed to stay off the police radar with the help of the top government officials who he also worked for.He was about to put a call across to him when his phone rang instead. Mann was already calling."Yeah?""I just saw the target leaving the office building, boss.""As I expected.""The surprising thing is, he's not leaving in his car. He's hailing a cab."Xavier's brows creased with confusion. "A cab?"Thoughts began to swarm through his head. Why would Caleb be l

Chapter 132

CHAPTER 132"Believe me, you wouldn't even recognize me because I had gone dead pale with shock. I'm still trying to recover from it all," Rose said quietly into her phone while she flipped through a fashion magazine.The person at the other end of the phone said something that made her chuckle."I could have killed her if it wouldn't put me in jail, to be honest." She then sighed and closed the magazine."I'm getting more pressured by the day, honey, and with that bitch gone now, it's even more intense. What are we going to do?"Unknown to her, Lilian was walking up the stairs with a red and a blue gown on her arm. One of her friends was hosting her birthday party that night and she wasn't sure which dress to wear. And since Caleb had insisted that she let Jane rest for her seminar tomorrow rather than trouble her with her trivial questions, she was left with no other choice but to ask her mother's opinion.She knocked once, opened the door and was about to start whining about her i

Chapter 133

CHAPTER 133"Can you guess who I just spoke with?" Diane asked Abigail as she opened the kitchen cabinets in search of her corkscrew and slammed them shut when she didn't see them."It was AJ," she replied before Abigail could speak. "He just told me they're getting a car with fake plates ready," she slammed another cabinet shut."Are we really going ahead with that?" Abigail asked quietly.Diane suddenly whipped her head around and glared at Abigail."What do you mean? Are you backing out?""I never really agreed in the first place," Abigail shrugged. She still believed that faking an accident just so that Jane could get hurt was over the top and she was just not sure how serious the whole 'fake accident' could turn out."Well I'm afraid it's too late now, Aby. Plans are being made. Do you realize I'm trying to help you here?""I know you are. But there should be other options.""Unfortunately, right now, were out of options. And don't forget you've already threatened her at her part

Chapter 134

CHAPTER 134Caleb tried calling again for the tenth time and worry was beginning to creep into his being. The same automatic response came: "the number you're trying to call is not reachable at the moment..."He was sure that she had already left the airport and was on her way home, and so her phone could not have been on airplane mode.So why wasn't she picking up? He asked himself and tried calling again. When he tried a few more times and the response was the same, his panic rose. He got out of the bed and walked downstairs where he saw Lilian on the dinner table with her laptop and books sprawled about her."Could you help put a call across to Jane? I've been trying to reach her for the past fifty minutes and I'm beginning to get worried," he said while quickly composing a text as well.Lilian's brows creased with concern and she searched through different pages of different books for her phone."Shouldn't she be on her way by now? She was to return today, right?""Yes, yes, yes.

Chapter 135

CHAPTER 135Caleb's driver followed closely behind him with two security guards in the car with him.He was a little confused when Caleb had stepped into his car and had barely even closed the door before driving off. He knew something was wrong and immediately got into the next car with the guards and went after the car.Caleb was frantic as he drove to the airport and his eyes were hovering around the streets, his lips moving quickly as he whispered silent rushed prayers and hoping that Jane was alright. Once in a while, he thought he saw someone that looked like Jane, or had Jane's hair color but it all seemed to be an optical illusion and he had only nearly escaped being hit by a lorry.Caleb drove into the airport gates and so did his driver. The guards were already flanked at his sides when he got down and approached one of the airport security."I need to see the head of the security department.""I'm sorry, sir, what...""Tell them it's Caleb Lockwood."The airport security lo

Chapter 136

CHAPTER 136The reporters were always outside the mansion whenever anyone drove out. They swarmed around the car, hungry for updates, whenever they saw that Caleb was in it and even Lilian had to limit her movements because the ubiquitous reporters were also hunting her down for information.The news of Jane's mysterious disappearance had spread like wildfire. It was on every lip, it was trending on social media, gossip magazines and blogs were swarming with commenters, some desperate to know the actual story and others, spreading rumors on what they believe had happened. In just 3 days, different versions of her disappearance was published and Caleb had to take a break from social media because the things he heard and read were taking a mental toll on him.Some said that Jane had deliberately ran away because Caleb had forced her to get pregnant against her will so he could find a reason for his illegitimate son to not be a benefactor of his wealth. Some said the whole party was all

Chapter 137

137She felt an uncomfortable stinging sensation in her head. The floor was hard, and cold, and a faint smell of dust hung in the air. There was a brutal coldness on her ankles as well and her whole body ached terribly.She stirred with a groan and tried to raise herself with her palm but the pain in her lower back forced her back to the cold cemented floor.Her mind was still foggy with sleep and her nervous system seemed to be taking too long to respond. Then her eyes slowly opened and swept across the brightly lit room.And then she saw the figure. Someone was seated on a chair in front of the window, his bulky frame backlit by the rays of the sun and casting shadows on his face, he was leaning forward slightly with his elbows in his knees and his fingers were interlaced, supporting his chin.Jane gulped and squinted to see clearly."Rise and shine, my love," the voice was monotone and husky, and there was a dark and threatening edge to it. The familiarity of that tone nearly knoc

Chapter 138

CHAPTER 138Jane was propped up against the wall, staring into the thin air as she waited for what would become of her life from now on. She wondered what Caleb must be going through, looking for her, and she had no idea how to provide clues to finding her when she had no idea where she was and how she had even gotten here.Her head was still woozy and she felt sick. Her breathing had become more labored as the days went by and the hope of escaping had also began to dissipate.She heard the clinking of a bunch of keys and knew that Marcus was back with whatever was supposed to be her breakfast.She had totally lost track of time and could only tell when it was morning and evening from the rays of the sun."You must be hungry," Marcus said as he walked in, a plate of food in one hand. He closed the door and locked it with his free hand.Jane continued to stare straight ahead, as though she was not aware of his presence. It seemed like too much work to even raise her eyes to look at him

Chapter 139

Chapter 139The sight of the interrogation room alone made Abigail's heart jump from her chest to her throat. Beads of sweat covered her forehead as the officers walked her in. Diane, who had called her earlier assured her that everything was going to be fine and she should remember to be calm and breathe in and out because she had done nothing wrong.Abigail was too scared to even question the officers on why she was asked to come to the station. She already knew that it had something to do with Jane's disappearance, and although she knew she was innocent, what spiked her fear was the fact that Diane had earlier made arrangements for a fake accident before the disappearance. And if the police found out about it...She ran a hand over her swollen stomach and gulped down a ball of spittle. The interrogation room was cold and bare, with only a small metal table in the middle with a telephone on one side and a camera on the other side, strategically placed to show the face of the perso

Chapter 140

CHAPTER 140Diane was extremely uncooperative when the officers asked her to come down to the station. It took a lot of convincing before she finally decided to go along with them.Now at the interrogation room, she kept a straight face and managed to control her breathing as the two detectives, Cain and Tanner stared back at her. They were the detectives who sheriff Ross had asked to conduct the questioning."Miss Diane, is there anything personal you have against Jane Lockwood? Or perhaps is there something she did to a close friend of yours?"Diane clenched her jaw and stared at the wall behind them. "I'm not saying a word until my lawyer gets here."Cain sighed heavily and shook his head."You don't have to bother about having a lawyer or not, Miss Diane, this is more like an interview...consider it a discussion."Diane stared at him with uncertainty, as if considering whether or not he should be trusted."You are free to leave if you want to, but I just want you to know that we'
