My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 98

After getting off the plane, we ordered a taxi back to Bronzy Condo. Once we reached, Monique locked

all the doors and windows and sat hopelessly at a corner.

A long time had passed before Monique finally looked up with her swollen eyes and said, "Arianna, Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

what should we do?"

I shook my head. The fear had not subsided and I was equally clueless too.

"He may not know that we are in Ucrebury now. Maybe as long as we stay here, well be fine." She

spoke, but it wasn't long before the realization had set in and she said, "But how could we hide? He's

an IT expert so it's not difficult for him to find out where we are!"

I looked at her and felt helpless too!

Aaron wouldn't let us go this time. Monique and I had risked our lives a few years ago to escape from

him. If the same incident was to happen again, I was afraid I would no longer have the courage to save

myself again.

"Find Hendrix!" Monique said abruptly, "Arianna, you should go find Hendrix. He's influential and

powerful so he would surely be able to keep Aaron at bay. What's more, you're also carrying his child

right now. Go tell him what happened, and he'll find a way."

Monique was getting more and more agitated as

she spoke as she grasped my hand, preparing to drag me out with her.

I stopped her as I was overwhelmed by a sense of discomfort. "Monique, we should calm down first

before we think of a way."

Monique shook her head and bit her lips. In the end, she burst into loud wails of tears as she hugged

me tightly. "How can I calm down? It's been five years and I've almost forgotten about all these

nightmares. Why do we still have to bump into him? Why?"

I embraced her in my arms, my heart equally aching as well. I'd once thought that meeting him again

was an impossible occurrence.

That night, Monique and I didn't sleep much. We were constantly frightened by the nightmares we had.

Monique was not in good spirits, but she finally managed to fall asleep when dawn arrived. I still

couldn't fall asleep, so I returned to the villa once the day was bright.

What Monique said had a point, perhaps Hendrix would have some ways of protecting us.

However, what surprised me was that the lock to the villa had been replaced. Previously, Hendrix and I

were able to access the villa in Flora Hill using our fingerprints.

Upon trying it several times, I soon realized that the lock into the villa must have been modified.

I dialed Hendrix's number but I was left hanging. It was obvious that he'd decided to ignore me.

Clueless as to what happened, I had no choice but to head to the company. It was still in the wee hours

of the morning, there weren't many people in the office.

Usually, I would be greeted affectionately by the managers of the Finance Department. However, on

that day, they were whispering to each other while pointing at me when I arrived.

I frowned as I was confused about the overall situation. I went into the office only to see that Kelsey

had still not arrived.

I opened the documents on my desk and signed all the necessary ones. It took about an hour before

Kelsey would arrive. However, she seemed surprised to see me. When she came to her senses, she

smiled and greeted me.

There was something strange to her expression. After she tidied the signed documents on my desk,

she was prepared to leave.

I noticed Kelsey's reaction and I broke the silence, "Do you have something to say?"

She was stunned and said awkwardly, "Director, are you and Mr. Clark for real?"

I was a little confused by her words. "Which Mr. Clark?" I asked.

"Sawyer Clark, of course!" She looked at me and said, "The news has been reporting about you for a

few days now. There was also a leaked image about both of you in an Asherton hotel. But, aren't you

pregnant, Director? Besides, you and Mr. Roberts are still not completely divorced yet! Why did you..."

I listened in the utmost state of confusion and asked, "What exactly happened in the past few days?"
