My One And Only

“What is it, Carlos??”

I asked, wishing internally that the bad news was not about Tinsley…not about her at all.

“Ms Rutherford had escaped the condo with the help of someone. A blue dodge took her away and we tracked her down…”

“What the hell?? What were the guards doing huh??”

I blasted out, interrupting Carlos in anger and frustration. She escaped!!!

Goddamnit, it!!!

“But sir…we tracked her down…”

“To where??”

I was harsh in my voice, it roared in the office room and I did not give one fuck about it if I was disturbing the decorum of my own workplace.

“To Mrs Wilson’s mansion, sir.”

He replied, blowing my mind off as I did not know how to react to that.

How was I going to get her back before she handed Tinsley to that scumbag??

After that news, my body, mind and soul were both restless and I could not do a thing right away that burned me internally and externally.

I had dismissed my lawyer to find a way to breach the contract and then inform me about it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, I was pacing back and forth in my office all alone. I had no one to whom I could disclose the news and as if anybody would care.

The thing was she had no one but me and I had failed her. It pained me every time I recall our last encounter to be fighting with each other so bitterly rather than finding peace in each other’s arms.

She must be so scared as naturally she was a scared kitten who needed protection…her innocence was something that the cruel world took advantage of.

When my cell phone rang, I was quick to answer it without wasting a single time.

“Carlos, did you see her??”

There were noises from the other side and it was getting a bit uneasy to keep the phone intact on my ears.

“No sir. We are standing by just outside Mrs Wilson’s mansion but nobody came out or went inside it yet. I presume Ms Rutherford is still in there with your aunt. ”

Carlos said. I had ordered my men to keep an eye on Valeria’s place for if that bastard Josh made an entry, my men could take care of him before he could get closer to Tinsley.

I vowed to protect her, to look after her and that that bastard could never ever get close to her so I was going to do everything in my ability to keep her away from even his shadow.

“Good. Keep a close eye. I will inform you what to do next later. Do not let that scumbag near the mansion in any way. ”

I commanded after hearing him out. Carlos gave a brief yes and that he and the five men would not allow Josh to be even near the road that led to the main gates.

When the call was over, I turned to see a shocked faced Madison standing by the threshold of the door.

She was not meant to hear this news and I had no idea whether she heard it all or just walked in when the call was over.

“Did you..??”

“I did. ”

Madison replied immediately, interrupting me. She let herself inside, closing the door behind her.

“How did this happen??”

She asked, walking up to where I was standing, eyeing me anxiously.

I did not know how to explain her or where and why it led to that. How Tinsley got so desperate to seek help from my aunt rather than asking me first??

The most astonishing fact was that this time she was seeking help from Valeria to escape not from Josh…but me.

And the very thought caused a pang in my heart…an uneasy feeling that crawled deep within my chest and I could not get rid of it unless I had her here before me and she would have forgiven me for all that I argued with her.

“We…we fought.”

I started, looking away from Madison and strode near the glass wall, gazing over the sky and the skyscrapers.

“Then???”

“I do not know what happened next but I found out that my own aunt was planning to hand her back to that doucebag.”

“Say what???”

Madison gasped, not expecting at all to hear that. She was close to Valeria as close to me.

Having been working for more than five years, she was quite familiar with Valeria and my entire family on her side.

“How.. how could Valeria do that?? And what did you guys fight about??”

Madison fired me with her questions and I gave her a look that conveyed a clear message to her…one question at a time.

“It does not matter what we fought about. What matters is that Valeria has her captive till Josh motherfucking Herrington comes to get her and I could never let that happen now could Tinsley try to escape because Valeria has the tight security all around the place…”

I went on blurting when Madison got closer and patted me on my shoulder, trying to calm my nerves.

“We can get her out of there before that bastard makes an entry.”

She suggested. Well, I was thinking the same too if she did not know.

“But what after that?? They will take this the court and we cannot do a thing as per the contract. ”

I let out. That was the only thing eating me out all this time and I could not arrive at a plan yet.

It did not matter if even after freeing Tinsley from Valeria’s place that Josh could still come after her.

“Didn’t the lawyer find out a way yet??”

“Nope. Not yet. ”

“Well, eventually he will. Do not worry. But for now, did you think about how to approach your aunt without making her suspicious about that you know??”

She implored. And that was something I had been thinking too all along.
