My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel 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, 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.
