THE CEO AND ME!

I directly let it out, not beating around the bush. She hummed from the other side, agreeing to offer her hand in my help.

"So what is the favour you ask of me??"

"Promising to never return here if I help you escape."

And that was something in the line I was expecting but never knew that abiding by my promise would be so hard.

Never promising to return would mean that I would never ever get to see Kian again anymore.

And I felt the most hurtful punch in my chest even at the thought of it...not being able to see him when I had only got to see him after such a long period...waiting for him forever.

But in my heart even though it was crying cats and dogs, I knew that staying away from him was the best for me...not seeing him would be just fine for my survival.

"I give you my word. I will never return if you help me escape."

I said it out loud and a line of tears fell off of my eyes in continuous motion, without any stoppage as I hung the call-up.

I muffled my sobs, pressing my palm hard on my mouth, stopping myself from crying out loud for the pain I feel in my already broken heart.

I did not want the nurse to come running inside again and report it to him, letting him come back here when I should be escaping before he came back.

I gave myself a few moments to get settled to the news that I would never return here in the states anymore as Valeria proposed I step out of the country altogether.

And it was for the best, I could not deny it for it would help me start anew, fresh in the next chapter of my life.

I drew my duffle bag up and rechecked my clothing. I was glad that I had picked one of his shirts with me for it would be the last souvenir of him...I shall ever have.

When I heard the honking of a car on the time Mrs Wilson told me about it, it was my cue to leave my room and sneakily step out of the condo.

I knew that it would not be easy as there were guards and they would never allow me to step out alone unless I have Kian's permission and they too knew about it.

I walked out of my room casually and then crossed the hall without looking at the workers working in it, cleaning, swiping as they gave me the eyes.

I opened the door and got inside the elevator before my nurse could stop me and I was grateful about that as she would not make this easy.

On reaching the downstairs, I saw Carlos drinking coffee, waiting by the gates and I could also see the blue dodge that Valeria told me would be picking me up, parked by the side.

All I needed was to get there without alerting Carlos and then get out of this place for once and for all.

I waited for a while, watching Carlos finishing his cup of coffee and walking away to dispose of it...it was my cue to run and I did.

I hoped that Carlos would not see me, not turn his head back for a goddamn minute but to my bad luck, he did.

"Ms Rutherford??? Ms Rutherford, wait..."

He shouted but I did not oblige and sped my running, looking back and forward. The driver of the dodge opened the passenger door for me and I started running faster than before...before Carlos dragged me back inside.

"Ms Rutherford, wait!!! I would have to report this to Mr Wilson, wait!!!"

I did not and got inside the dodge safely. The driver was quick to drive forward but Carlos ordered the guards to close the gate and I was afraid if we could drive past it in time or not.

But it was a bit late for Carlos to order that out as even before the guard could close one gate, we drove out of it, knocking the other gate off and I breathed out in relief.

_______________________________________________

Throughout the journey, I did not hear one word from the driver. He kept his eyes ahead and kept driving and I was too disturbed to start a conversation as everyone knew how much I hated silence.

But with time people grew to love the things they hated before...they live finding peace in those as they could never have it the other way.

I was a bit taken aback when I saw that instead of driving me to the airport to board my plane to Russia, the driver drove me somewhere else.

I got in my alert mode as millions of disturbing thoughts arrowed inside my head.

"Where are you taking me??"

I asked, leaning forward, hoping that he was not taking me to Josh instead.

"Mrs Wilson told me to take you to her first before heading to the airport. "

He replied and that made me sigh in relief. I nodded my head positively. At least he was not taking me to Josh.

In a few minutes, the dodge stopped before one of the magnificent mansions I had ever seen.

It was way bigger and thrice the size of the mansion I used to call my home. The guards opened the door and we got inside.

The butler led me towards the hall where I was to meet Mrs Wilson. I walked inside timidly, cautious of every step I put forward, looking around...the place was a fortress.

"Mrs Willson see you inside."

The butter said, opening a wooden door for me, I thanked him and then headed inside.

"Glad to see you safely arrive here, Ms Rutherford."

Mrs Wilson muttered as I saw her, coming out of the balcony and inside the room.

"Thanks for all the help, Mrs. Wilson."

I thanked her in my most sincere voice. I really was grateful for the help she was offering me.

"I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr. Harrington comes to get you."
