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 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 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 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 105MICHAEL “We have to go now, Taylor. Are you feeling any better yet?” I asked Taylor, her face cupped in my hands while Fernandez kept watching by the door.She sniffed and wiped what was left of the tears on her face. Then she nodded her head and pulled away from my hold.“Yeah. You're here now so I feel better” she replied while she still avoided my gaze but I felt unsettled. She looked pale, weak and fidgety and she wouldn't even look me in the eyes. I knew the reason why though. I didn't have to think too much to figure it out.She was kidnapped and slapped. Anyone with that experience will be traumatized. What I couldn't decide on though was whether to give her space or not.In silence, I shared a look with Fernandez and he understood what I meant at once. Immediately, he turned around and walked over to join the rest of the men waiting to hear what was next.Less than a minute later, he returned. “I spoke to them, boss. We'll be heading back to report to Mr Rover a

CHAPTER 106 MICHAELThe room was quiet. Nobody said a word as they walked up to me and dropped flowers by the coffin. All they gave me was a brief nod. Then they were gone to take a seat and I on the hand said nothing to anyone either.It was a funeral. An unfortunate one that shouldn’t be happening if my father had been cautious about Carlos from the start at that. So there was nothing to talk about. All I was filled with was anger and wishful thoughts.I kept wondering if I would have been able to save my father if I had stayed back with him like he asked me to… but then I also wondered if Taylor would have been successfully saved from Carlos’s clutches if I had stayed back with my father and let Fernandez take charge of saving her.At the end of the many thoughts running through my head endlessly, all I had was many more questions with no answer to any of them.Sighing heavily, I adjusted my jacket as Taylor walked up to me and I still didn’t look at her as she took my hand, linki

CHAPTER 107MICHAEL I remained still in my mother's arms as she hugged me. But soon enough, I gave in and slowly, I wrapped my arms around her too.She audibly sighed as she pulled me closer and I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment. I was scared she was going to disappear again so I didn't want it to end.“How could you be alive? I still can't believe it and I keep wondering if I'm hallucinating” I muttered loud enough for her to hear as we kept hugging and she chuckled.She pulled away from the hug to look at me, a wide smile plastered on her beautiful face and suddenly, she pinched me on the back of my hand, causing me to flinch and wince in shock and pain.“Do you still think you're hallucinating, Michael?” She kept smiling at me while her eyes gazed at me adoringly, the same way she always looked at me before I found her lifeless body on the floor in her room that morning. “Not anymore. Thanks for confirming this for me…” the last word hung on the tip of my tongue as I looked at

CHAPTER 108TAYLOR We were having breakfast and I kept stealing glances at Michael as we both sat in the kitchen on the little dining table by the corner. It was the morning after the funeral and his mother was gone.She would have spent the night with us. Michael and I had insisted that she stayed in our guest room and leave the next morning after having breakfast with us but she was adamant about it and insisted on leaving as soon as she could.So it was just me and Michael that morning and I was still reeling in surprise after learning he had a mother. A mother he never mentioned to me even once. He never even talked about her and after seeing how close they were at the funeral, I couldn’t help but wonder why she was never in the picture. I itched to know what happened but I didn’t want to set him off either. So an uncomfortable silence settled in between us instead and I guessed he soon noticed it.“You have questions for me, don’t you?” he asked out of nowhere and for a momen

CHAPTER 109TAYLOR “I guess this is your chance to make up for the years you missed with your mother. You both must be so excited to spend time together again like you used to. Right?” I tried to make Michael feel better so he wouldn’t think too much of the negative memories he just narrated to me and he smiled.“Come here” he said and immediately, I was out of my chair. I walked over to the other end where he was seated and he sat me down on his thighs before wrapping his arms around my waist to keep me steady.“You’ll be spending time with us too. My mum is looking forward to knowing you more” he said but I wasn’t sure if it was necessary for me to be there.“Aren’t you meant to be with just her? It’s been years since you saw each other and if I’m there…” Michael didn’t let me finish speaking. He pressed his lips on mine to shut me up, making me giggle when he finally pulled away and he mirrored my smile.“We would be very happy to have you with us. So don’t try to exclude yourself

CHAPTER 110MICHAELI reached for my phone to check the time once I woke up and it was evening already; exactly 5pm. Taylor’s head was laid on my other arm while she slept. She looked very peaceful and I couldn’t help but stare at her… until she woke up minutes later.I watched her stretch with half open eyes. Then she turned toward me and a few seconds after our eyes met, she turned beet red before she shyly covered her face. “You were asking me to kiss you just hours ago, Taylor. Now you can’t even look at me?” I teased her and she turned around to face the other side, making me laugh.Slowly, I turned her back around to face me. Then I pulled her hands away from her face and our eyes met again. This time, I wasn't letting her look away. I wanted her eyes on me.“You don't have to be shy with me, Taylor. We both wanted what we did” I told her before kissing her on the forehead and she quickly buried her face in my chest before wrapping her arms around me.“I know but that was my f
