Chapter 131

Staring absentmindedly at the screen, Anne sobbed as she said, “This means we can't track them. That was the only hope I was holding on to. How would we find Drea now?”“That can't be. There has to be another way.” Sorin said, and closed his eyes.“I need to think.” He and Kelvin said with unplanned unison.A brief pause followed as they exchanged glances.Suddenly, they both snapped their fingers as the same idea popped in their minds, leaving Anne in awe.“We can track the car.” They said in unison.“What? That's possible too?” Anne asked, completely confused.“Yes. It is. The cars we use are advanced and have inbuilt trackers.” Kelvin explained to her as he quickly grabbed his phone and began to call the security team all over again.“Wow…” She muttered in amazement.“Dan, tell the tech guys on your team to immediately start tracking the car.” Kelvin ordered swiftly.“Alright, sir. We’re right on it, sir.” Dan responded, and swiftly informed his team, who immediately got to work.“G

AN HOUR AGOStorming out of the house, I got into the first car that was in sight and shut the door right after I got in.Apparently, the driver, who happened to be Tim, had just arrived after taking the car for some sort of routine check up.“Drive.” I said just as I settled in.A bit confused, he asked, “Are you okay, ma'am? Where do you want to go?”“I mean, where do you want me to take you to?” He rephrased his statement, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be out of that place at that moment.“I don't know. Just drive right now.” I instructed, raising my voice a little.I knew I had to act fast because the probability of Sorin and Kelvin finding out that I was trying to leave was extremely high. And if any of them caught up with me, the whole purpose of wanting to leave in the first place would be defeated. “Okay, ma'am.” He responded calmly and drove as I had instructed.As we approached the third gate, I noticed he was doing something with his phone but I was too occupied with

“Package? What package? Am I the package now?” I thought to myself, unable to believe what I had just heard him say.I couldn't question him, for fear of being shot at.After the call, Tim slowed down a bit and flung two zip ties at me, “Use these.” “Zip-tie your hands.” He ordered me, and out of fear, I immediately did as I was told, shaking as I struggled with them till I got it right.He cross-checked my hands and seeing that my hands were now well restrained, he lowered the gun, and increased the speed while I remained quiet throughout the rest of the journey.Not long after, we approached what seemed like a silent and desolate alley and soon we got to an abandoned warehouse.Tim parked the car, and pointed the gun at me again, as he warned, “Any silly move from you right now can get you killed.”“Be obedient and you'll be fine.” He added, and I nodded slowly.A young man, who I didn't recognize, came out from the back of the gigantic warehouse.“Welcome back, sir.” He greeted Ti

In that split second moment of silence, I hurriedly took off my blindfold, and struggled to take off the gag.Because my eyes had been blindfolded for a while, coupled with the fact that one of my contact lenses had fallen out when Joe tried to blindfold me earlier, my vision was completely blurry and out of focus and so I couldn't see properly. Before I knew what was going on, Tim's men and the others who happened to be Mr T’s men rushed towards the broken door and an intense fight broke out.Tim's men and Mr T’s men joined forces together. There were about twelve or fifteen of them but they were fighting against just two men, who fought so smoothly. They were such experienced fighters, their skills and coordination impeccable, so much that I was amazed.Despite being outnumbered, the two men stood their ground, their defense impenetrable. They blocked every attack, waiting for openings to strike and when they did, their blows were swift, precise and merciless.Bullets whizzed past,

The sound of the gunshot exploded in my ears, a deafening blast that left me reeling. My vision blurred. Time seemed to slow as I struggled to process what was happening.For a few disorienting seconds, I was lost in a haze of confusion and fear. My ears kept ringing, and my head spun. I couldn't hear anything except the piercing whine of tinnitus."Are you okay?" Sorin's voice was a distant echo, muffled and unclear. I felt his arms wrapped tightly around me, his warm breath on my face, but his words were hazy and muffled, fading in and out like an inconsistent radio signal.I tried to nod, but my head bumped against his chest. Slowly, my senses began to return. My vision cleared, and I found myself still in Sorin's embrace. I was shaking, my heart racing like a jackrabbit but his hands held me firmly, yet gently."S...Sorin?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.“Yes. I'm here.” He answered, his voice calm even though I could sense the fear in it. “Are you alright?” He asked, gen

Wearing my bathrobe, I sat in front of the mirror after I had freshened up. Staring absentmindedly at myself in the mirror, I had more than a million thoughts rushing through my head.“Are you okay, Drea?” Anne asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.“Yes, I'm fine.” I responded, obviously lying, but Anne caught on to that fact.“Come on, Drea. Are we back to this again?” She asked, feeling a bit exhausted.I furrowed my brows. “I don't understand. What are you talking about? I asked.“You know what I'm talking about. You keep saying you're fine when we both know you're not.” She said, stating the fact.“You keep zoning out mid-conversation.” She pointed out, and I sighed.I got up, my shoulders drooping as I walked towards her, and sat beside her on the bed.“I'm sorry for everything, Drea. I know I must have done too much. I pushed you to your limits and that was why you left the house like that, and I almost lost you forever, but I'm terribly sorry.” She began to sincerely apologize

Chapter 137

I didn't know why, but I didn't ask because I thought she just didn't want to think too much about being bullied by him in the past.“Now that I think about it, I realize that I was such a fool to actually be dating someone like him. Maybe I was under some kind of spell back then.” I said, not proud of myself.Anne let out a derisive snort.“You mean under a ‘love and blindness’ spell?” She teased. “To think he almost tore us apart and you still stood by him, you were definitely under a love spell.” She added, and laughed.“You're so silly.” I hit her with the back of my palm.She continued, “I believe that's the only reason why you could have stayed with him despite his excesses, and insensitivity towards others. “I think I was just immature, and also had a little sprinkle of foolishness back then.” I laughed, and continued. “...but I'm just glad I didn't end up with him. Maybe we could have killed each other.”“The stakes are high on that one, ma'am.” Anne continued to tease me, bu

My phone alarm blared loudly, startling me, and I was jolted awake by the noise. It was 9am.“Uhhhh….” I groaned as I blindly tapped the alarm with my fingers, hoping to silence it, and I rolled over to the other side of the gigantic bed.Barely had I shut my eyes for a few minutes to catch some more sleep when the alarm set off again.“Nooooo…” I pulled the duvet over my head, kicking into the air.Realizing the alarm was determined to wake me up, I finally pulled the duvet off my head, picked up my yelling phone, and turned the alarm off. Exactly what I should have done in the first place; obvious solution, yet so delayed.I yawned and groggily got out of bed, still rubbing my eyes. Usually, I wouldn't wake up so late, but I guess the whole stress of the last couple of hours, coupled with some of the meds I took last night knocked me out for so long.I headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth; the first thing I did every morning before heading downstairs for breakfast.As I brushe

MONTHS LATERFor the next couple of months, Sorin kept sending me romantic notes and handwritten apology letters, alongside breakfast. He sent them on a daily basis without fail. And after every letter, he always included a place for me to meet him and would always wait there for me even when he knew the probability of me not showing up was highly likely.He also sent Kelvin to get me every night, while he would always wait for me at the restaurant, cafè or anywhere else he mentioned in the letter.Sometimes, scrolling through social media, I would see posts about him and secretly-taken pictures of him alone at the places he had wanted us to meet.In total, he wrote about fifty-two(52) apology letters and fifty-two(52) romantic notes, sending each pair with my breakfast every day, including weekends. How he was able to keep up with writing them every single day despite having to go to work daily, still baffles me whenever I think about it. One amazing thing was that the letters and

“Please sit.” Sorin offered me a chair, opposite his. “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?” He asked, and I could sense that he was completely nervous.I was quite nervous too, but Sorin was trying so hard to please me, so he appeared somewhat shaky, and I didn't like it.He spoke further. “Should I order something for you? Or would you prefer to pick something on the menu?” He got up, and tried to pick the menu for me.“Please calm down. I'm beginning to feel like I'm a bully here.” I suddenly blurted out, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.“Why would you say that?” He asked, still surprised as he slowly took his seat.I shrugged. “I don't know. It just feels like you're walking on eggshells around me.” I stated.“Really?”“Yes, and it makes me somehow uncomfortable.” I answered honestly.“Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that. I just don't want to make any mistakes tonight.” He answered, trying to calm down.I sighed. “It's fine. It's okay to make a few mistakes. We'
