Michael's hands gripped his steering tightly as he drove away from the dark path with great speed. He only breathed properly when he was kilometers away. If he had said just one wrong word, he would have been dead by now. 

He raised his hands to rub on his face as his whole body was overridden with shock; now he would be careful on how he spoke with Diana. What if they were tracking his phone too?

His knuckles turned white as rammed his thoughts on what to do. Thankfully he had a spare phone at home, and there were no CCTV cameras in the bas.e.m.e.nt, so in case she hacked his CCTV, she won't be able to know what he was doing in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Michael's heart pounded louder; things were going to be bad real soon and he needed to very careful.

He pulled up in his garage and walked into his house quietly; taking his CCTV remote, he disconnected the cameras and took his spare phone to the bas.e.m.e.nt and then connected the cameras back;

Quickly he switched the phone on, and dialed Diana's number;

''Hello? It is Michael. ''

''Hey, been calling you, your phone has been switched off, what happened? ''

Diana asked worriedly; there was a sound of water as though she was in the bathroom.

''Diana, Catherine kidnapped me. ''

''What! ''

Diana's eyes widened in shock;

''yeah, I would have been dead now if I had taken a wrong move.'' Michael turned on the light to the bas.e.m.e.nt and sat down on a chair;

''when? How? When? '' Diana could not even process her thoughts properly. She just left him some hours ago, how did he get kidnapped?

''As soon as I got into my car, a gun was pointed at my head and I was taken to her hideout. I was so lucky to escape with my life. I'm being seriously monitored. Right now, I'm in the bas.e.m.e.nt calling you with another phone in case my phone is monitored too. ''

Diana felt chills in her body and she turned off the tap; ''this is getting serious. '' although she knew how serious it was, she didn't think anything would happen soon. ''    

'' don't meet with Nicklaus for now, I think they'll be on alert. I wanted to get guards but I don't want it to seem very suspicious, it would seem as though I know something. I made her believe I'm ignorant of everything, so she let me go, but I know she would still be on the lookout. ''

Diana felt goosebumps wash her skin. She had never been this scared all her life.

''I'm so sorry for getting you into this mess. '' Michael walked to the end of the room, brushing his hair with his fingers in frustration;

Diana took in a deep breath; she couldn't even bring herself to move from a spot, she was scared to her wits.

''It's okay, it's not your fault, and now is really not time to blame yourself, we need to be very cautious and smart. ''

''yeah, just be on the low for now, if you wanna tell me anything, text this number okay? I'll be leaving it in the bas.e.m.e.nt, I'm not sure if my CCTV is not hacked, I can't take chances. I'm sorry that we would not be communicating frequently; ''

Diana shook her head; ''oh, it's fine. Just stay safe, okay? ''

''Yeah, you too ''

''goodnight; ''

''Yeah, goodnight… ''



Tiana lay on Nicklaus's chest, listening to his heartbeat. She didn't know why she was feeling sad today. In the next two days was his birthday, yet she was so sad. She tried to make herself happy but she couldn't. She had been awake since three am in the morning, and she had been staring at him. She hated these instincts of hers, but today the feeling was too overwhelming to ignore.

''Good morning; '' Nicklaus whispered, kissing her hair and turning to the side such that he wrapped her in his arms.

Tiana raised her head from his hold and peeked at him;

''How was your night? '' He didn't like when she got unnecessarily worried so she tried to keep the thoughts to herself;

''Beautiful; '' He said and she smiled;

''let's stay like this for a while before I prepare for work; '' Nicklaus groaned not wanting to leave her soon;

Tiana bit her lower lip at his words, she didn't know why but she did not want him to go to work today;

Her hands gripped the back of his shirt but she did not say a word.

They stayed like that for a while chatting about random things before Nicklaus finally stood up to shower. Tiana felt dryness in her throat as she watched him walk into the bathroom; she wanted to ignore the pang but she couldn't.

Standing up, she paced about the room in frustration, how would she make him not go to work today?

She bit her finger as she thought of a way to make him stay home. After a moment, a thought flashed through her mind and she sat on the bed.

A few minutes later, Nicklaus walked out of the bathroom, with a towel around his waists; his eyes glanced at Tiana on the bed and he was about to say something when he noticed she was crying;

Nicklaus froze for a second and walked to her immediately, squatting in front of her, he asked with shock on his face;

''Beautiful? What's wrong? ''

Tiana raised her eyes to look at him, and when her eyes met his, she could not help but cry the more.

His heart wrenched when he saw her weep and he held her chin, wiping her tears with his thumb;

''beautiful, please, I can't bear to see you cry, what is it, please talk to me? '' He could not understand how someone who was chatting a few minutes ago would be crying this minute, did anyone die?

''Did anyone die? ''

He asked and she shook her head;

''Are you on your period? '' She shook her head. He was helpless; he stared at her for a moment, and then pulled her into his arms.
