I strolled down the hallway annoyance visible on my face. What is Michael planning? Why will he involve the police?.
Aurora greeted me as I stepped into the elevator but I ignored her. I need to go see Austin and warn him about the police. Why can't Michael be in love with me? Why does he always choose the hard way which is Nina?
This is all her fault. I need to tell Austin to finish her off before the police find out about us. I stepped out of the elevator and walked down the stairs to the parking lot where my white Formatic Classic Benz was parked.
I got into it and pulled out of the Thompson's Empire with one thought on my mind, how to make Nina pay?
The sound of my phone ringing pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to switch on my earphones. With the earphone fully placed in my ear I answer the call.
“Deborah! Where are you?” My dad's scared voice called out to me from the other line. I guess he had heard the news of Nina's kidnapping and had figured out that we did it.
“I'm just leaving the Thompson's Empire right now. Any problem?” I asked him even though I knew why he was scared.
“Why? What did you go to do there? ” Dad asked in a hushed whisper. I guess he's hiding from mom. She is the only one who isn't in support of us. That's why I hate her the most.
“I just went to there to remind Michael about the prenuptial agreement he signed instead I met him conversing to an inspector”
“What? You mean Michael involved the police just because of that girl” Dad screamed from annoyance. Even I was annoyed. I mean how can he do that?
“You and Austin need to be careful. I know you both have a hand in what's going on” Dad told me as I nodded, my eyes immediately went to the rearview mirror where I noticed a red Sedan car which has been following me for a while now…
“Hello Dad! Let me call you back, I think I'm being followed” I called frantically into the phone. My dad screamed as I hung up the call and quickly dial Austin's number.
The Austin that picked the call wasn't the regular Austin I knew. He was the second personality in DID. He was the one who raped Mia and was also the one responsible in the kidnapped and planned murder of Nina.
The real Austin is kind and caring and would never agree to any of my plans to marry Michael. I'm so thankful that it was the second Austin that picked the call.
“Hello Angel” Austin called into the phone, his voice softening a bit. No matter who was on display, they both loved me unconditionally which is what I'm thankful for. I can manipulate them any way I want.
“Austin, please help, I think I'm being followed” I shouted into the phone scared about what to do?
“Calm down, follow my lead. Nothing will happen to you” Austin said his voice hardening with anger. I could feel the anger in his voice when he directed me on where to go next.
“Take a deep breath. Look around you, is there a turning on the left or right?” Austin asked me as I searched frantically around.
“No, I don't think there's any, maybe at the next twenty miles,” I reply as I turn to look at the car which was following me closely.
“Good. Keep going, make sure there's a car or two between the both of you” He told me, I nodded and pulled out of the back of the car in front of me. I maneuver the car into the front of two more cars in front of me leaving four cars in between us.
“Done” I told Austin, smiling, my eyes caught the rearview mirror to see that my follower was also doing the same. I got scared again.
I stepped on the gas and drove off while listening to Austin's instructions on the phone. I turned to the left as soon as I got to the turning and paused to see my follower. He was also about to turn but was blocked by a truck who was passing through the road, putting on a diversion between the both of us.
“I lost him” I told Austin on the other line with a smile on my face. I can't believe I just did that.
“That's good. I will be expecting you at the site” Austin told me and hung up. I could hear the relief in his voice. I smiled and drove down to the Beacon where the cabin was located.
I pulled into the parking lot of the abandoned cabin where Austin, Michael and I used to play when we were kids. The place wasn't far from Austin's parents house. I'm sure Michael would never have imagined that this is where Nina could be…
Austin rushed out of the door to hug me“ Are you okay? Where you startled?” He asked me, leading me into the house.
I turned to look back to see if I was being followed but no one was there only Xavier was trying to park my car into the garage.
I smiled in Austin's arms as he led into the room“ I'm okay, though I was startled at first but with your help I was able to lose him effortlessly” I told him with a smile on my face.
I sat down on the couch opposite Austin who wouldn't stop glaring at me“ I told you not to come here always, what if something had happened to you?” Austin screamed, I couldn't help rolling my eyes at him. The only man I want worrying about me is Michael and no one else.
