章 10: His love
Christopher was in shock. Who would dare break his door open?
He got down from the bed. Walking towards the door. A punch sent him to the floor.
Christian marched in, his whole face was red with fury..
"How dare you Christopher? You dare touch Annie?"!" He yelled and punched him again.
*******
Christian was unsually worried that day, he was too restless that day. He dialled Annie's number but it was switched off.
He even drove to her house to check up on her but was informed she had left that morning.
Something was not right somewhere. He thought of Christine and wondered how she was. He felt so bad as he couldn't save her. He felt he had failed as a father.
His half brother actually threatened him!
"Any news Kim?"
"No sir, we haven't found her." He shook his head.
He was getting more worried. Where could Annie be?
"You have to search harder Kim. You have to find her.* He said.
"Yes sir."
A few hours later he was informed that Annie was in Christopher's house.
Rage filled his heart. That bastard! What was he doing with her?
"When did she go there?"
"About 2 hours ago sir."
He looked at the wall clock, it was 1.15 PM.
Hia heart raced. He knew Christopher always liked Annie but Annie never liked him. Now he had the opportunity, he would definitely take advantage of her. He knew what Christopher was like.
His head was entertaining different imaginations, what if Christopher r*ped her? He'd never forgive himself.
'Stop thinking and start acting!' His inner voice shouted.
He stood up and walked out. He wasn't gonna allow anything happen to Annie.
He got to his car and entered.
"Drive." He told the driver.
The drive to Annie's house was tensed.
He was too troubled to think properly. Though he was not a religious guy, he actually prayed that day.
He arrived at the Villa. He got out of the car and stared at the Villa. He hates this place with everything in him.
He heaved and walked briskly towards the gate. He got in but was stopped by Christopher's guards.
"Sir gave us orders not to allow you in." One of them said
He narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "You are stopping me from going in?"
He dropped his gaze, "I'm sorry sir. But he gave us his orders."
"You know I can make you lose your job right?"
He didn't say anything.
"Now get out of my way. " He said cooly but angry.
"I can't..."
"Now." He narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The guard reluctantly got out of the way.
Christian walked in with an air of authority. He got to the large parlor. He looked around but didn't see anyone.
There was a glass on the table. He walked towards it and picked it up. He put it to his nose and sniffed. He arched his brows and looked around. 'Was Annie drugged? Where is she?' All these questions ran in his head.
He heard a scream upstairs, it sounded a lot like Annie's voice.
Panicky, he ran upstairs. He could hear her screams louder and he followed its sound. The screaming died down. He was confused and panicked when more.
He got to the room he thought he heard the screaming from and broke it open.
*********
"You son of a bitch! How dare you?" He yelled kicking and punching him.
Christopher pushed him hard. He rushed to him and punched him severally.
Christian pushed him, he fell. He grabbed him by his collar.
"How dare you?" He punched his face, "You dare touch Annie huh?" He punched him again.
"She's not yours Christian. She never was, isn't and will never be." He released his self from Christian's hold.
Christian was enraged. He wanted to get Christopher when he sighted Annie.
She lay down on the bed unconscious in her underwear. He felt so embarrassed and angry seeing her that way.
He walked to the bed, "Annie! Can you hear me?" He touched her forehead.
Christopher hit him from behind. He groaned in pain holding his head.
He turned to face him.
Christopher punched him again and he fell on the bed.
"You... You took everything from me. Complete everything. You took away father's love, his property, my mother and wvwn my love. Why did you leave her if you loved her alot five years ago huh?" He asked.
Christian bit his lips, he wouldn't have left her if he had an option.
"Today I want to finally have her to myself and you come out from nowhere, think you're a hero?"
He came closer to Christian on the bed, he was about to punch him when a guard came in.
"Sir she ran away." He said
Christopher groaned, "How did she run away?" He roared.
Christian smirked, "That's my daughter."
Christopher looked at him irritated and left the room.
He groaned silently on the bed. He remembered Annie was on the bed too. He turned to face her.
,"I'm so sorry I came late Annie. I didn't imagine he'd do something this despicable. I'm sorry." He caressed her face and sighed.
Rage filled him on seeing her half naked. He helped her into her dress.
"I promise I won't let Christopher hurt you." He whispered and smiled.
He carried her from the bed in bridal style and went downstairs. No one was there and he wondered where Christine was.
He dropped Annie on the couch and looked around. He ran outside but couldn't see anyone.
Where in the world would a five year old run to?
Christopher must have left the Villa.
He quickly dialled Kim's number.
"Kim she ran away. Christopher must be looking for her and I want you to find her before he does." He ordered.
"Yes sir." He said over the phone.
He went back in. He carried Annie to his car.
"C'mon drive."
The driver ignited the ignition key and the engine coughed to life. He revved the engine and drove out of he place.
*******
Annie woke up her eyes blurry. Her head still pained.
"Ahh."
Her vision began to get cleared. She noticed she was not in her room. Fear and confusion gripped her.
The walls were painted with very high-ends paints. There were be framed art on the walls, and it was very expensive too and well-known. The bedroom had large, floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of a city skyline. There were custom drapes on the windows, made from high-quality fabric. The floor was marble with an area.
In the center of the room, there was a king-sized bed with a high-end mattress and luxury linens. There were a number of pillows on the bed, all perfectly plumped. There was a large, flat-screen TV on the wall and a sound system as well. On one side of the room, there was a sitting area with a comfortable couch and a coffee table. There was a desk with a computer and printer. There was
e a walk-in closet with custom shelving and drawers.
"Where am I?" She looked around.
"In my house." Christian walked in.
Annie felt her heart drop.
