CHAPTER 147 CHLOE’S POV Trying to act calm, I couldn’t control it. I didn’t believe Nathan was kidnapped, didn’t Lily say he wasn’t? I felt stupid for believing what Lily said and getting angry unnecessarily. I decided to continue talking to him on the phone, everything seems strange. Eduardo kidnapped Nathan? Why? Several questions run through my mind. What business does Nathan have with Eduardo and who was this strange man. Looking at Cameron, I saw him typing furiously on the computer and giving instructions to Nathan. I tried helping in any way I could but decided to sit back and watch. “Gently walk to any opening,” Cameron said with urgency as Nathan did as he was told. “Bingo,” Cameron shouted and I walked to the computer to see where it was. “This is a outskirts town!” I exclaimed angrily. “Where exactly?” Nathan asked curiously but Cameron ignored him as he continued thinking for a while. “Let’s not forget that Eduardo can come anytime,” I warned as I star
CHAPTER 148 CAMERON’S POV Taking my car from the garage, I got into the car hurriedly as I speed along the highway, swerving quickly to avoid a fleet of cars coming my way. I knew I was going to be arrested by the police after this but I had a good reason. Taking a short route as I tried to reduce the journey that was two hours from here to an hour. Eduardo was so smart, bringing Nathan to the outskirts of the city was a smart move. It was almost like he wanted Nathan to die there but I wasn’t going to allow that. Praising myself for being a good racer , I continued to avoid any cars. Knowing how short-tempered Eduardo was, I understood if Chloe was not able to complete the task. Looking at the location, I noticed I was almost there. My phone vibrating me alerted me as I parked the car to answer the call. “I couldn’t hold up for two hours, he seems kind of pissed,” I heard Chloe’s voice over the phone. I honestly didn’t want her involved in all of this but Nathan al
CHAPTER 149 CHLOE’S POV Trying to focus on Adele who was throwing tantrums, I ended up spanking her real bad. “Go and take a nap,” I forced her as I cajoled her into sleeping. Feeling very disturbed and angry at the same time. The drama I had with Addison still not leaving my mind, she despises Nathan for a reason best known to her. I was starting to have a feeling that there was more to it, definitely Addison was hiding something from it. Honestly, if it were to be a movie, she might have a secret fling on Nathan but it was reality and she wouldn’t do something like that. “I never knew you had become a life saver, you didn’t even think about Adele. I already warned you, stay the hell away from Nathan!” Addison shouted angrily as I narrowed my eyes. “You have to be kidding,” I said with a scoff as I took Adele to her room. Children tend to pick things from adults, I didn’t want her to see me arguing and think it is the right thing. I wanted Adele to be trained i
CHAPTER 150 CHLOE’S POV Not being able to deny how terrified I was as many thoughts crossed my mind. What if they had been killed? Several questions with no answers and all I could do was pace around the room. Starting to feel too suffocated, I knew it was time to talk to someone. Picking my phone as I scrolled down the phone log, searching for the most reliable person I could talk to, my face beamed as I dialed the number. He was sure the only person I could talk to and was confident about since everyone had bailed out already. Being alone in this world will teach you so many lessons, knowing who to bring closer or stay far away from. People were quick to change feelings towards you in matter of seconds. Finally picking his call after ringing severally, I heaved a long breath. Understanding that he was a very busy person, I wasn’t really offended. “Good morning Arabella,” David says quite awkwardly. Shrugging the feeling off, I continued what I was saying. “I
CHAPTER 151 NATHAN’S POV Feeling a little bit sore, I tried doing some exercises as the pain was becoming quite unbearable and uncomfortable, my legs and wrist still hurt badly from everything that had happened recently. Heading over to the fridge, I collected some juice as I gulped it down hurriedly. My throat was already dry, all I needed was cold juice that was good for me. Leaving the kitchen, I wandered around the house for some time before heading back to the sitting room. Feeling very bored, I tried thinking of doing something else rather than watching a movie. Finally defeated, I was sitting with popcorn and on the other hand with my TV remote as I scrolled through, searching for the perfect movie. Finally deciding on an action genre, I settled down to watch. Not being a movie person, I wasn’t intrigued as I just stared at the TV screen boringly. “This is so annoying,” I muttered angrily as I thought about Chloe and Adele, they were the only reason why I hadn’
CHAPTER 152 CHLOE’S POV Groaning as the sun rays hit my eyes, I couldn’t help but groan loudly. Wishing I had magical powers to close the damn windows, I rolled on the king-sized bed. Covering my face with my duvet, I was about to slip to another round of sleep when my phone buzzed loudly on the table stand. “Urghhh!” I shouted before taking the phone angrily. Not even looking at who was speaking, I heard the voice of David. “Don’t tell me you are still in bed.” He said on the phone as I rolled my eyes. David was beginning to get on my nerves, I loved my early morning sleep and he was disrupting it. He was so nosy! “Well, I am still in bed. Quit disturbing!” I shouted and was about to press the red button when he stopped me. “You are not yet thirty, don’t tell me you forgot about the ball,” David teased, making me slap my forehead. “Seriously, is it today?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. It had completely slipped my mind. “In less than ten minutes, the dressi
CHAPTER 153 CHLOE’S POV Not being able to control my happiness, I didn’t know when I gave him a tight hug. I had been so worried about him, holding tight to him so he wouldn’t go again I heard a chuckle from Nathan. “You might end up killing me at this rate,” Nathan said with a chuckle as I released my hands away from his body. “Why didn’t you call me or inform me about what was going on?” I whined as I hit his stomach gently. “Ouch, that hurt!” Nathan said with evidence of pain in his face. I hated Eduardo for causing this kind of pain to him, looking at him with pity I wished he was with me. I would have helped apply balm and relieve his pain. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean it.” I immediately said as I helped him up. “There were several reasons why I couldn’t call, I had wanted to call, trust me. My heart had been yearning for your touch and Adele’s.” He said with so much emotion evident in his crystal eyes. This was what I wanted, the fact that he cared so muc
CHAPTER 154 LILY’S POV I couldn’t help but pace around the room anxiously, what was all of this about. It had been more than a week since Nathan had left, I had thought it was his usual way of living but this had been longer than usual. Trying to keep calm, I couldn’t help but grow anxious. There was just this feeling at the back of my mind, I didn’t know if everything was fine with him. Shoving the bowl of ice cream I was taking, I called his number for the umptenth time but he wasn’t responding. “This is so annoying!” I shouted to no one in particular. I was going insane, I couldn’t continue like this. Even if it means going to Arabella’s house to drag him,I was going to do it. Tired of this roller coaster life, I decided on what to do. Grabbing my car keys, I headed to the nearby Cops station. Whether he was safe or not, I think it was the right time for me to report to them. This was just so irresponsible of him, even ignoring my current condition. The co
