CHAPTER 33

HENDRICK BLACK'S POV:-


TWO WEEKS AGO:-


I was into my mansion, working on a project that was pending. Of course, no one was able to capture me. It was near to impossible. Her father, agent Wolf came twice but he failed to arrest me both times. I thought he would take his lesson and would never come back again. But he was as stubborn as his daughter Cassandra was. He did not stop his stupidity. He annoyed me very much but I was bearing him just because he was the father of Cassandra.


The door of my study opened and I looked up. It was none other than my personal assistant, Quinn. He hesitantly walked towards my desk. I rolled my eyes over his fear and shut the file that I was working on.


Hendrick Black: What is wrong with you now? Why are you all pale like you are ill or something?


I asked him in an annoyed tone while looking straight into his eyes. He was looking everywhere but into my eyes. That made me suspicious. He did that only when he was sure I would be mad at him. I snapped my fingers twice in front of his eyes. He took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face. But the fear in his eyes was still there.


Quinn: Boss! There is something you need to know. As you had sent me for the conference, I was not able to keep my eyes and ears everywhere. I also just came to know right now and came straight to inform you either.



He started explaining himself. I inhaled deeply and gave him my annoyed look. I knew how dramatic Quinn was. So I decided to get back to work. I signalled him to keep on going while I picked up the file again and started reading it.


Quinn: Boss! Miss Wolf is getting married. In fact, today is her wedding.


He said those words and the world around me froze for a good minute. I slammed my file on the desk and stood up. I grabbed his collar and pulled him close to me.


Hendrick Black: What the fuck are you talking about, Quinn? When did that all happen? Why did you not come to know earlier? Where the fuck were you?


I roared all these questions on his face. He started shaking in fear. I could see he was already sweaty. I pushed him backwards and he fell abruptly on the chair he was sitting on.


Quinn: Boss! I would have told you before if I would have known as well. They are already married. No one knows when but they got married. Nobody was there, not even their families. Only Mr Hunt with Miss Wolf. They got married in Miss Wolf's apartment. I came to know when the new owners shifted into that apartment.


He said that all in one breath. He did not bother to look at me. He knew I would not be just mad but furious as well. He had made the biggest mistake of his life. And he knew that could cost him just not a few months but his whole life. But at that time, I was not in the mood to talk to him. I grabbed my mobile and my car keys. I ran towards my car and quickly drove off.


A WEEK AGO, In Perth:-


I stepped out of the apartment door of my twin brother and went towards the elevator. I visited him to get his help as I knew no one in Perth. But as he was the most stubborn person in the whole family, he said he would never help a rapist like me. If he would just understand, I did everything for Cassandra. She can never imagine how much I loved her.


Of course, I was not the only child of my parents. I had a twin brother, an identical twin actually. And my parents named him as Kendrick. He was younger than me. But he did not live with us in New York.


About fourteen years ago, my mom caught my alcoholic dad cheating on her. Instead of going to her brother's city, my mom decided to go to London. Her sister like friend Erica, lived there. When everything got sorted and we were coming back home, Kendrick made his decision to stay with aunt Erica's family. Mom tried her best but Kendrick was stubborn. He said he can't break a heart.



PRESENT TIME:-


As he had refused to help me, I needed to make a plan of my own. So I decided to follow them day and night. I knew I would get a chance to abduct her again. And I did. She stepped out of that house all alone that day. Taking the advantage, I went to her and made her inhale the chloroform. She lost consciousness and I abducted her. Some old people from the neighborhood came to save her but I stopped them as well. I took her to an abandoned factory that we still owned.



I was standing by the window and was looking at the sky. She was still out cold. I was waiting for her to wake up. Soon I heard some noises. I looked back at her. She was sitting on the ground, hugging her stomach like she was protecting something precious.


CASSIE'S POV:-


Hendrick Black: Finally, you are awake!


I heard the voice of the devil and my heart almost jumped out of my rib cage because of the fear I was feeling inside my chest.


Cassie: You, you did that again? Why have you brought me here? Where am I?


I asked him all these questions. I tried to keep myself as strong as I could.


Hendrick Black: You are in a factory I own. And this time, I didn't make that mistake again to hire someone. So no one here to help you. You and I are all alone here again. Who is going to help you this time? I can do anything to you and no one would even hear your calls.


He replied and my heart stopped for a second. I took a deep breath to control my nerves and my fear as well. I couldn't just show him my weakness.


Cassie: Do whatever you want. But I swear to God, I will never give you whatever you want. You will never have me. You destroyed my life before and now you are back to destroy it again. I will kill myself right here.


I yelled at Hendrick Black angrily but instead of stepping away from me, he started laughing hysterically. I balled my fists in anger seeing his reaction.


Hendrick Black: Go ahead, kill yourself. Once you will be dead, I will kill myself as well, then we both will be together forever, buried in the ground.


He replied in a relaxed tone. He threw a gun in front of me and I picked it up. The gun was already loaded. At that moment I was only thinking about Chris. But the knew I had no other choice but to kill myself. I pointed the gun onto my throat.


A woman's voice: Don't kill yourself for someone as useless as him.


I heard a woman yelling. I looked around and found a woman stepping out of the shadows. A hopeful smile made its way to my lips as I looked at the woman. She was the same woman who had come to my house before my wedding.


Hendrick Black: Who the hell are you?

Hendrick asked her then launched himself at that woman. She didn't move an inch away from her place. As he was about a foot away from her, she blocked his punch by her left arm. Then she turned around and elbowed his stomach hard. He groaned in pain and knelt on the ground. She then punched the back of his head hard enough to make him out cold for a while. He fell on the ground as her punch collided with Hendrick's head. Once he was down, she stripped off my shirt and my scarf. She tied his hands and his legs with her shirt and her scarf. She wasn't just brave but also very smart.


Once he was secured, she called someone to come and get us. I went to her and pulled her in a bear hug. She rubbed my back to make me feel better. I was shaking with fear, fear of losing everything I had worked hard to build. She broke the hug and took me towards the table. We both sat on the table and she squeezed my hand a bit.


Unknown woman: You are safe now, Mrs Hunt. Soon, Harris will be here. He will take you to your husband. You are safe now. But what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Have you ever thought about why he attempted to abduct you again?


She asked me and I shook my head with teary eyes.


Unknown woman: It's because he knows that you are afraid of him.


She replied and I looked at me with my mouth agape. I didn't know how she learned all that about me. Maybe my dad told her.
