The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 66

I was in my office going through Nina's pictures which Andrea had given me earlier. She was smiling and looked so beautiful in that orange dress that I was thankful that I had bought for her even though it cost a million dollars.

John and Don were going through the feeds on the couch, after Don had missed Deborah, the other day, we were only left with a Miracle from both Nina and the taxi driver who took her to Michael.

I came out of my reverie just in time to hear the alarm sounding through the feed. I shot out of my chair and rushed to where John and Don was.

“ What is that?” I asked him straining my eyes to see what was making that sound on the laptop. John ignored me as he continued typing furiously on the laptop with a smile on his face.

I didn't want to get my hope up again and watch it taken away from me. I turned to walk back to my seat but John's voice stopped me.

“ Nina has been found, Mr. Thompson? ” John called out to me. I ran back to see a red arrow making a signal at one spot on the mountains.

“ Quick call Inspector Peller to come right now ” I told Don who nodded and ran outside to put a call through to inspector Peller.

I stood up and grabbed my phone from the table. I needed to call my  parents has they've been more worried about Nina than I was in this past few days.

“ Hello Michael! Any news ” My dad called into the phone as soon as the call connected.

“ Yes dad. We've found their location. The police will be going in there soon ” I told him, I waited as I heard him relaying what I had just told him to someone in the room.

I wanted to ask him if that someone was Mr. Melton but I let it slide. With the wedding this Saturday, he has been pestering me to do my duty right else I forgo all of my properties. Like I'm ever going to allow that.

“ That's good news Michael. I will let your Mom know, she has been worried especially after the Millers threatened to sue Lush Beauty ” Dad called into the phone. 

I couldn't help rolling my eyes at him. I should have gotten used to his antics by now. I keep forgetting that my dad was once a businessman. He's only faking his worry for Nina because he's scared about his company.

“ Allow the police to do their job Michael. Don't follow them_____” I hang up the call. I'm not in the mood to listen to his foolish advice.

I need to go with them to make sure that Nina is okay.

“ How’s the video quality coming? ” I asked John going closer to meet him.

“ It's blurry. I guess she was scared to be found out by Austin” John replied as I nodded.

“ I'm glad she's alive and that confirms that Deborah is working with Austin ” I told him, clenching my fist in annoyance. That bitch! How dare her? 

“ Yes, boss. I hope when Nina returned we'll be able to nap Austin and her once and for all” John replied just as the door opened. Both Don and Inspector Peller walked in dragging a street urchin with them.

“ Who's that with you?” I pointed to the slim, dirty man Don was dragging on my expensive rug.

“ He's the taxi driver, ” Inspector Peller replied, I ran to meet him and punch him on the face. I was about to punch him again when Don and Inspector Peller stopped me.

“Calm down Mr. Thompson. He's not worth your anger. Right now our priority should be finding Nina ” Inspector Peller said, I nodded at him and turned to walk away after seeing blood oozing out of the taxi's driver's face.

“ Where's that place?” Inspector Peller asked pointing the location where the blinking red light from the laptop was.

“ That's in Beacon, ” I replied , causing them to look at me. I knew that place like the back of my hands. why didn't I think of that place before?...

“ Austin, Mia, Deborah and I used to play hide and seek at the cabin which was like an hour journey to the Walkers house” I explained to them Inspector Peller nodded and went to make a phone call.

“ Hello! This is agent Peller. I need enforcement ” He called into his walkie talkies. I watched him as he described the number of people he wanted and a paramedic.

My heart skipped a beat as soon as I heard that. I never want to imagine that Nina could be hurt. Inspector Peller came to tap me lightly on the shoulder trying to reassure “ They will be here in thirty minutes. Get ready, you'll be going with us ” He told me as I nodded and went to prepare and change out of my dress in the next room.

                                   ***

It was very late in the night when we pulled into the cabin. It was dilapidated and doesn't look anything like I had remembered. Some of the policemen rushed into the house, they searched and combed everywhere but there was no signal of Austin nor Nina.

“ Are you sure this is the right place, Mr. Thompson? ” Inspector Peller asked me as I nodded. Though the building was old but this was the very same cabin.

“ Search around the bushes, we need to find them ” Inspector Peller commanded his subordinates just as we heard Austin screamed at Nina.

I ran into the forest ignoring the scream of John and inspector Peller. My woman's life was in danger. I need to help her.

I used my hands to swipe leaves out of the way until I got to a clearing where I saw Austin pointing a gun at Nina.
