MasukCHAPTER 104MICHAEL “Excuse me, dad. I've got to take this call” I told my father as I stared at my phone with Fernandez's name still displayed while it rang.He nodded, giving me the go ahead and I rushed out of the room to find a private corner where we could talk.“Tell me. What progress have you made so far?” I asked him once I received the call.“Mr Matt tracked the car that your brother took and we just learnt he's at the outskirts of the city. He is definitely with Mrs Rover, boss. I’m sure of it” He informed me and my grip tightened on my phone. “So what do you suggest we do then?” I asked him and he was quiet for a moment.“I think we should get there as fast as we can before it’s too late, boss. Your brother can do something reckless and I know you don’t want Mrs Rover to get harmed” he advised and I nodded, buying his idea because he made a lot of sense.Carlos was a very rash person. He’s hardly thought anything through before doing it. So it was best I got to Taylor as
CHAPTER 103TAYLORI coughed once I regained consciousness and my chest hurt so bad I thought it would cave in. Then I opened my eyes and fear settled in the pit of my already burning chest once I realized I was tied up.My head hurt badly too and I could feel my dried up blood on my forehead thanks to Alissa who knocked me out with the extinguisher. Immediately I recalled what happened to me, the alarms in my head began to blare even more. I realized I was in immense danger and I couldn't help but wonder if Michael was coming to save me already.Was he even going to find me on time to be able to save me? Many thoughts ran through my head as I lay still on the floor while racking my brain to figure out what to do.Though chances of escaping seemed very bleak considering my hands and legs were tied.Another cough let itself out before I could stop it and in less than a minute, I heard footsteps coming closer.The doors before me were pulled open and standing before me was Alissa with
CHAPTER 102MICHAEL“Come on, Fernandez. We're leaving now” I ordered while exiting the house and he was right behind me as we rushed toward the garage where the car waited.I tossed the car key toward him and he caught it, entering the car through the driver's door while I joined him in the passenger's seat.“Take me to my father's place. Right now” I ordered and he nodded before taking off as fast as he could.We arrived in less than an hour and I didn't wait for Fernandez to get the door for me this time as I stormed inside and went toward the living room where my father sat.In silence, I took a seat before him as he held a glass of wine to drink and I didn't say a word. I just let the heavy silence hang between us.He paused when his eyes fell on my bandaged shoulder. Then he looked back up at me and once he read the room, he placed his glass of wine on the table beside him.“We only spoke to each other hours ago and now it's almost dawn. What happened to your shoulder and why t
CHAPTER 101MICHAEL I ended the call with Taylor and set the phone aside. Then I turned to Fernandez who had just started to roll the bandage he held around my shoulder. “How long is this going to take?” I asked him as sweat beads coated my forehead and dripped down the sides of my face.I was in pain but I'd experienced worse so I knew I would survive it. All I could think about was seeing Taylor and putting her mind to rest because I could hear how worried she was over the phone.“Just a moment boss. All that's left is the bandage and plaster. Then we can leave” Fernandez replied, his gaze fixed intently on my bruise and I groaned when he suddenly pulled at the bandage to tighten it around my shoulder. “Sorry boss. I'll be done in a second” he quickly apologized as I gritted my teeth against each other to condone the pain and I shook my head.“It's alright, Fernandez. Just fucking get it over with so we can leave” I groaned again and he nodded. “On it” he responded briefly and s
CHAPTER 100TAYLOR Alissa and I had just finished having dinner. Then we spent the rest of the time watching TV together and I had to admit, the show was a good one.Yet, I kept getting distracted with worried thoughts about Michael. He was meant to be back already. He told me he would come back to me and then we could talk… if he was ready.But instead, he was taking unusually too long and it was making me think about him. Making me hope nothing had happened to him like I suspected.I picked my phone up from beside me and dialed his number. It rang and rang and there was no response until it stopped ringing. That compounded my worry and my heart began to race as I wondered what could have happened to him.Alissa noticed the change in my demeanor and took her eyes off the screen to look at me while I stared at my phone as I breathed heavily. “You look pale, Taylor. What's wrong?” She asked me, placing a hand on my arm and I forcefully tore my gaze away from my phone to look at her.
CHAPTER 99MICHAEL Fernandez brought the car to a halt once I arrived at my father's mansion. Then he got the door for me and I stopped out of the car.Adjusting my suit, I took a good look at the building before me and I couldn't help but wonder what my father's decision about Carlos was going to be.“Wait here, Fernandez. I know this is going to be quick” I told him and he nodded his head.“Okay boss” he replied and with that, I walked into the house.He was seated by the wine bar and waiting for me while he had a glass of wine. So I sat beside him and he gestured for the man behind the bar to pour me a drink.“He shouldn't bother. I'm not in the mood for a drink” I dismissed the offer and he looked at me. “Then what are you in the mood for?” He asked me and I sighed.“I want to know what you discovered about Carlos's dealings during his honeymoon and how you intend to resolve the whole situation” I replied without batting an eye and he smiled.“You've always been the serious one”
CHAPTER 46TAYLORMorning came faster than I anticipated and right by the foot of my bed was mane. He was awake already and when he saw me get down from the bed, he meowed.Smiling down at him, I reached for his back and gently ruffled his fur and he snuggled closer to my feet while he purred as I
CHAPTER 49TAYLORAs I walked into the living room, I couldn't raise my eyes to meet Michael's. The embarrassment was still fresh in the back of my mind and at the same time, I could also feel his eyes on me and it unnerved me.I wished I could run back into my room and lock the door but I couldn't
CHAPTER 47TAYLOR The next day, Michael was gone when I woke up. He didn't have breakfast and the dinner I made was still there in the kitchen untouched.Feeling dejected and angry, I heated it all up in the microwave and before I fetched myself a little to have for breakfast, I gave Mane his brea
CHAPTER 50MICHAEL Pretty grey eyes, small cupid lips, a small round nose and those adorable bangs that always graced her forehead.That was all I could think about as I laid back in bed and stared up at the ceiling. She was right there… just a room away from me but I couldn't bring myself to make
