The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 608

"Honey, your phone is ringing. It has been for sometime. Can't you hear it? Why don't you answer it?" George casually and absent mindedly told Holley.

"Oh, I didn't hear it. Sorry!" she mumbled and stiffly straightened her back. She told George reluctantly,"Please give me a moment to answer this call."

She hurriedly got off the car and walked away as she picked up the call. She heard a cheery greeting as soon as she answered. Her hair stood on end in fright at the sound of the voice coming over her phone. She could never forget that voice her entire life. She was often frightened awake by the sound of that voice in her dreams at night.

"Hey, long time no see, Yvonne," the man on the other side of the phone greeted her. At once, her unsavoury past, which she had tried hard to forget in the past three years, overwhelmed her mind. Holley held her phone in a firm grip so as not to drop it.

The voice was the reason for her many nightmares.

"Why are you calling? How did you get my number?" Holley asked in a quivering voice. She pressed the phone nervously and tightly against her ear.

She was scared of the man and hated him deeply from the very depths of her heart.

"Hey, that's a silly question. I am missing you so much. It has been a long time since we met each other. So, I'm just calling to catch up," the man replied drowsily. It was none other than Ferry. Three years ago he took Charlie away from Autumn. Thereafter he went abroad and hid himself on a small, remote island. Even though Charles had tried every means to seek him, he would not have found any trace of Ferry.

The small island had been located and chosen by him as his hideout much in advance of his flight. Everything he needed for a comfortable living was available there. He had lived a good, carefree life for the past three years.

"Listen carefully to me, Ferry! I'm no longer the same person I was three years ago!" Holley nastily hissed between clenched teeth,"And I don't want to receive any calls from you. Please leave me alone! Or, I'll..."

Abruptly, she stopped talking.

She just realized that she was on shaky ground. Much as she wanted to warn him and threaten him not to call her, she was at his mercy.

Ferry knew all her secrets and shortcomings. She couldn't do anything but only follow his instruction like a puppet. She was helpless and bound to him.

Apparently, Ferry knew he had her in his grasp. He burst into laughter upon her reaction and said in a leisurely manner,"Relax! I just called to catch up with you. To tell you the truth, I'm actually offering you my help."

"Help?" Holley murmured with a cold smile on her face. She recalled with bitterness all she had gone through because of him. He had done his best to torture her before throwing her to an unknown county. He never helped her and instead had vanished from the surface of the earth.

Today, she cherished everything she had. God knew how hard she had worked to get here. She felt proud to achieve her dreams all by herself. Also, she was close to victoriously tramping Autumn beneath her heels. To her immense surprise, Ferry called and offered to help her at this point. It was so ridiculous and could she ever believe him again?

Holley tried hard to hold back her bitterness and said lightly,"You know what Ferry, I think you are not in your full senses just now. Listen, I don't need any help and especially not your help. Please leave me alone and never call me again. This is the only help I need from you!"

After living a stable and carefree life, she was very afraid of losing what she had now. The more she worried, the more she hated Autumn and held her responsible for it. George had been great to her ever since they were together. He was so sweet and she felt she was really lucky to have him in her life.
