Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: The fear

I lifted up one of the guns as I inspected it further. It had a silencer at the top

I’ve never had to use guns in my life and never thought I would have to but here we are. Life is full of surprises.

"You use the safety here, and then you can put," the bodyguard informed me.

"This is good," I started. I took the gun, and then shot at the crate box to test it. The silencer ensured that the bullet wouldn’t make a sound. The bullet hit the box and then ricocheted to the side.

I then turned around and looked at the my 5 bodyguards and the 15 new bodyguards I had hired to help Jasmine and I find Tony.

"I want you all to take one weapon and keep it on you at all times. It’s going to important soon," I instructed the men. "Wait on standby for my instruction. We’ll be moving out soon."

"Yes, sir!" They all told me. They went to the crate and picked up a weapon together with the bullets boxes that were beside them. The 15 men then turned away from me leaving the garage and I remained with my 5 bodyguards.

I watched as they left as my lips pressed into a thin line while I contemplated. I hoped Jasmine and I would get through what was coming in the coming days.

My phone message notification sounded. I quickly took it out saw it was a message from Jasmine. "Lets go back to the apartment," I told me men.

I needed a pen and paper to write the messages and make sure I was actually trans

Posing as Megan the ’regular’ messages were about her finals at college.

My bodyguards packed everything up and we made our way to the elevator.

It had three days since we started secretly communicating she was going to escape from Keith.

When I arrived in my office I immediately went to my desk and took I looked outside my window and saw the traffic below. It was late in the night and I had work tomorrow but I couldn’t bring myself to sleep.

I think I know who has Anthony.." Her message read.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Wasn’t Edward the one who had Anthony I thought to myself.

"Who?’’ I replied.

"His half brother."

My eyebrows shot up as I tried to figure out what she was saying. As in Keith’s half brother? He had one? I thought to myself. I don’t recall. To be hair I didn’t know much about the Keith’s family aside from he fact that his parents divorced due to his father’s infidelity. I didn’t realize Keith’s father had put a baby on his mother as well.

I picked up the telephone at my desk and called one of my men.

"Create a file for me on Chairman Aclands’ half brother. I want to know everything about him," I said to him. I needed to everything about him.

’Okay, we’ll investigate together I responded to Jasmine afterwards.

"I have to leave soon then. I’ll keep you updated’

"Okay." I replied.

Two days I thought to myself. In two days I might get to see Jasmine.

About an hour later I received an update on Keith’s half brother Kolton from one of my men. I opened the file and began to read through.

I read about his upbringing with his mother in Yorkshire City in a home Keith’s father had purchased for them to live in. He saw her for a while after his divorce to Keith’s mother and then moved on to other women.

It appears Keith’s father paid Kotlon’s mother child support and even allowed him to work for the Acland Group.

****************

The following day I woke up and prepared for work as usual the day and went to Carrington HQ. It was increasingly getting difficult to focus on work. With Tony and Jasmine to worry about how could I?

Somehow I managed to get the work that needed to be done finished and I ran home waiting for any updates from Jasmine.

’She messaged me late in the night to inform me of her plan.

"I’m coming out tommorow.’

"What time?"

"Afternoon around 2pm."

"i’ll be there."

"Go," she said, and I immediately stepped on the gas.

There was silence in the car as I drove as far as I could from Keith’s estate.

"Do you think they know you’ve escaped?" I asked her.

"Yes, I think they do and are already searching for me," I told him.

I drove and drove, making my way back to my apartment. The rest of the ride was silent. I kept looking behind me making sure we weren’t being followed.

Upon arriving at my apartment building, I helped her out of the car and took her up to my apartment. Upon entering Jasmine walked in for a moment before she suddenly started crying.

"Jasmine," I told her, as i turned to look at her. I pulled her into me then hugged her. Her head rested against my chest, and she broke down in tears. I can only imagine what she went through. I wrapped my arms around her as I let her cry.

"I’m sorry, Louis...I’ve done things I’m ashamed of...I don’t know if you’ll forgive me," she said, her voice breaking and her body trembling.

My arm around her almost faltered as I feared what she was saying. I knew it, I thought to myself. He must have touched her without her consent. So much so that she feels she betrayed me and is trembling like this. My jaw tensed at the thought of what he did to her.

I can only imagine the difficulty she had in hiding the fact that she was contacting me. Formulating an escape must have taken such a massive effort.

"I had no choice, I didn’t know how else I could do—"

"Jasmine, look at me, it’s okay," I reassured her as my hands cupped her face I don’t know the extent of what she’d been through, but the last thing I wanted her to think was that I blamed her or anything.

I kissed her on her forehead and then gently placed my lips on hers. Just a peck, then pulled away from her. I didn’t want to overwhelm her.

"I love you," I told her.

"I love you too," she told me.

"Let’s go find Anthony?" I asked her.

She slowly looked up into my eyes and slowly nodded. "Let’s go."

hat she went through. I wrapped my arms around her as I let her cry.
