chapter 74

ISAIAH

I stared at my phone too long. It’s obvious she read my messages, so why isn’t she responding? When I got home from work, Sophie was already in bed which was strange. Except I called ahead to tell her I was going to be late, Sophie would stay up in the living room waiting for me with her nanny. She never went to bed without getting her goodnight kiss and even if she did, she’d wake up at night and nag me for it.

“Anne?” I called the nanny who tied up the table as I moved to

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 140

    CHAPTER 140 ANNIKA My heart thumped like crazy, my hands trembled because I could feel him go cold behind me, I could feel his weight press on me but he didn’t stop. “I missed you so much that it hurts like crazy.” He whimpered. No. I tried to turn again bit he held me. Why …why is he doing this? “The house felt lonely and every hour without you felt like I was thrown into a burning furnace.” He chuckled, “I knew I loved you but I had no idea how crazy I was for you…” “Isaiah….” “I’m sorry for coming so late…” “Isaiah…stop talking, please.” “I’m sorry, you heard me say those words…..” “Isaiah, please, I beg you, stop ….” “I will never abandon you or give up on you because I love you…I love you so much Annika Sultan.” “Isaiah…please….please…stop.” I cried, fighting to turn but he held me, as if he didn’t want me to see but I won’t let him….I won’t have my back turned to him so I fought and I won. He had blood coming from his mouth, he looked seriously injured but his smile

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 139

    Chapter 139 ANNIKA My head continued to ring, like a drum was being played very close to my ears. I could hear people shouting and moving around rapidly but more importantly, Isaiah looked ready to kill someone. Oh no…I think he misunderstood me.... Jake didn’t kidnap Sophie…he is protecting her. I have to tell him…I have to protect Jake. But my mouth won’t open, the words won’t come out. “Stay here, Annika, you inhaled too much. Stay here, I’ll join the guys and catch that bastard, he won’t get away with what he did.” Isaiah muffled, his hands gently stroking my hair. No! Isaiah, you’ve got it wrong. Wait…Jake is innocent….he is not going to harm Sophie. Ah fuck, why won’t the words come out? The smoke I had inhaled while yelling for help seemed to be affecting me now. Isaiah peeled away from me, I tried to grab him but I couldn’t. he slipped out of my hands and I watched him say something to a man who was just about his height, and his built. The guy sneered and called

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 138

    CHAPTER 138 ANNIKA Sophie dashed, faster than I have ever seen her run before. She ran as if her life depended on it because it did. Isaiah was a great father, one who knew the world was a wicked place and he made sure Sophie was not oblivious to that fact so when he noticed she loved running, he taught her something he believed would always help her in the future. He told her the danger of being a girl and how being able to run would help her. Run as your life depends on it, Sophie. He would always say to her. Run like fire is behind you. Run like you are being chased by a dog or a wolf….RUN SOPHIE RUN. And she ran. She ran out through the door and I watched Jake’s hand, wrap around her waist and he ran. “Argh!” Mirabel yelled. “Go after him! Find him and bring them here….no, kill them immdeitaly you find them.” Please Jake, stay somewhere safe….somewhere safe until Isaiah arrives with the cop. Hazel turned to me, confusion plastered all over her face. I simply nodded and he

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 137

    CHAPTER 137 ANNIKA Once again we were in Mirabel’s hands, in the building we had seen earlier, hands tied. Except this time, we were surrounded by men, men who looked ready to kill if we twitched. Sophie clung to me, but this time she wasn’t hiding her face, this time, she was glaring at her mother and it wasn’t just her, Hazel was glaring as well. I want to cuss her out and tell her how much of a horrible person she was but a part of me feels like this situation is every shade different from the one earlier. Sophie, Hazel, and I could end up dead this time. The one person who helped us escape before, Jake, is being held, with a bullet in his leg. “Finally, we are together again.” Mirabel muffled, stepping closer, her eyes on me. “You…You have a way of charming people, you know that?” “I could have bet everything I had that this man would abandon you or even run away with you, leaving the kid but instead, he rescued all of you. Wow, is that the same charm you used on Isaiah?” She

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 136

    CHAPTER 136 ISAIAH Grandma always believed in miracles, the type that feels impossible. It always sounded ridiculous to me. Anything beyond facts and known knowledge was not my forte. But then, I got the message. LITTLE WITCH: Brother, it’s me, Hazel. I am with Annika and Sophie. We are not completely safe, but we are out of danger. Here is a link to our location, come save us. If that is not a miracle, I am not sure what is. The moment my eyes dragged through that message, something inside of me came alive, relief washed over me, and my thumping heart slowed for a moment. My trembling hands scrolled through the phone again and again. They are alive ….they are safe. My girls are okay. I jumped to my feet, grabbing my keys, I dashed out of my bedroom, running down the stairs like a lunatic. “Isaiah, son, where are you going, dinner is almost….” I halted and turned to my mother and mother-in-law. “I have to go,” I said, biting back the light that flashed through my face, the h

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 135

    Chapter 135ANNIKA My hands spread over Hazel and Sophie, keeping us low enough while the bullet flew across the car. Those bastards didn’t stop. And Jake didn’t stop moving the car either. He drove as fast as he could, rough, trying to ditch them but the more we drove, the more they came after us. “Annika, come take the wheel.” He yelled. “What?”“Come take the fucking wheel, Annika.” What are you trying to do? He bent over, reaching for something, and then he yanked out a gun. Jake had yanked the gun from the cop before kicking him out earlier. “Hazel, do you think you can take the wheel?” I asked, “Jake needs to distract the …” “Yes!” She yelled, crawling to the front seat, she switched places with Jake. As soon as Hazel took over the wheel, she hit the accelerator, driving faster than Jake initially drove. It was as if she unlocked some strange speed. But that didn’t stop those bastards from coming. Jake checked the bullets in the gun, working on it like a professional. W
