Chapter 124- Fist Talk
“ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.
“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow.
“ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me.
“ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.
Once a bitch, always a bitch.
“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It was a good thing she didn't bring it early or that lady would have poured her spit in it.
I started eating my food and sipping my wine. I used to be the most faithful believer of never keep yourself hungry but so many things changed in my life.
My phone started ringing and I saw that it was a call from Liam. I'd have to call him back when I'm done eating. I don't like talking when I'm eating.
The phone continued ringing about five times so I had no choice but to pick it up.
“ Liam, what is it?” I asked,
" Where are you? There's something I need to tell you right now,” he said with an edge of urgency.
“ You can tell me now," I said,
“ No, it's important, just tell me where you are," he said,
“ I'm eating at a restaurant, at the Fearing’s,” I said,
" Okay, I'm on my way,” he said before he ended the call.
I wonder what it was, could it be about my son? I picked up my phone again as I called him but he didn't pick up. The waitress came and I paid for my food, leaving her a generous tip before I stood up and walked out.
If whatever Liam wanted to discuss with me was important I don't think we should talk about it in the restaurant. I tried his number again but he didn't pick up.
Didn't he just call me?
I walked to the car as I tapped on the window. My driver should get something to eat while I wait for Liam.
“ Michael, you must be hungry," I said as I tapped on the window for him to roll it down but he didn't.
“ Are you asleep?" I said before I opened the passenger's door and entered the car and I immediately gasped when I saw the awkward position Michael was in but before I could make any sound or go for help.
A handkerchief covered my nose and in the process of fighting I breathed in and I started feeling dizzy. The last thing I heard before darkness took me was.
“ You shouldn't have come back, you should have just stayed where you are,"

I was in my office when the door suddenly burst open and an angry looking man entered, my assistant following behind him.
Before I could speak, a punch landed on my face.
" Where is she?! Where the fuck is she?!" he said as he held my collar.
“ Hey, stop, what are you doing?" My assistant said as he tried to get him off me.
I pushed the dude away as I glared at him.
“ It's okay Stanley, I've got this," I said to my assistant and he looked at me in worry but I told him everything was alright and he nodded before he left.
“ What the fuck is wrong with you? What are you talking about?" I asked in confusion as I adjusted my shirt.
“ You stand in front of me and act innocent like you don't know what I'm talking about?" he said as he took a threatening step towards me but I didn't move an inch.
“ For the last time, where is she?” he asked me,
" I don't know what you're…" he punched me again but I was done taking his rubbish so I punched him back and he moved backward at the impact.
“ Anna has been unreachable for over three hours now, I was supposed to fucking meet her in the restaurant but on reaching there she's not where she told me she'll be. And there isn't any fucking sign of the car that she's waiting for me and you pretend not to know where she is when I know your family is the only one that could possibly want to hurt her,” he said and I narrowed my eyes at him.
" What do you mean?” I asked and he scoffed before he threw a file at me and I caught it.
“ Did you know that your fucking wife can't have babies?"
