Chapter 284: The Kidnap
"Where is my father?"
"He's having his breakfast," the maid supplied.
Caramel nodded briefly and walked past the maid to the dining. Her father was truly having his
breakfast.
"Hello father," she moved closer and gave him a peck."
Good morning."
"Good morning Hunny," her father stared at her for a moment. "Are you ok? You look pale."
Caramel nodded briefly and pulled out a seat for herself. "I am. I just need space. I'm leaving
Jacksonville," she announced to her father's surprise.
"Why, Caramel?"
Caramel stared down at the food that have been placed in front of her. "Nothing, really.'
"Nothing? You stopped working at my company and you said nothing. Now, you are leaving and you
are still telling me it's nothing?"
Caramel sighed. "I'm really ok. I just need to clear my head. I will be fine when I return, I promise," she
said with a smile.
Her father nodded in acceptance. He had always been understanding anyways.
"So, when am I seeing him?" He asked all of a sudden.
Caramel gave her father a puzzled look. "See who?"
"Your boyfriend! The one that has been making you happy all this while. I have to thank him," he
teased.
Caramel smiled. "I will, soon."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaramel was about to enter the car when her phone rang all of a sudden. It was her mother. She had
already booked a flight the previous night after she was done talking to Grey.
"Hello, mom."
"Where are you?" Beatrice demanded.
Caramel sighed. "On the way to the airport. It will be taking up in less than two hours," she revealed.
"Alright but you could have informed me and I would have had some men follow you to the airport,"
Beatrice scolded.
Caramel sighed. "It's no big deal, mom. As I said, the enmity between Grey and Alex will be put to rest
after I'm gone. And Alex wouldn't have my time. I would be safe. I don't even think he knows I'm
leaving."
Beatrice let out a sigh. "Alright but I'm coming over soon. I just need to sort out some things. I will
definitely be there."
"Why? I mean you need to be with Grey."
"Hercules was the one that gave me the permission to come around," Beatrice revealed.
Caramel groaned inwardly. "Can we just refer to him as Grey?"
"Well, you can't hide the fact that he's Hercules and he's my boss and a boss to a lot of people,"
Beatrice voiced out.
"Alright," Caramel sighed. "I'm just not used to it. It's ok. Just let me know when you will be coming, and
I will let you know about the address."
"Alright, that will do then. Call me when you arrive."
"Alright, I will. Take care," Caramel finished and hung up.
She sighed. She wasn't only confused and shocked about Grey but she was angry. Grey kept such a
secret from her and he wouldn't even reveal it until she took it seriously.
The whole shit was starting to get her fed up with everything. That was why she was willing to give up
everything just to stay away from trouble.
After getting checked in, her phone started ringing. It was an unknown. So, she didn't want to pick it up.
That stopped only for her phone to start ringing again. This time, it was Grey. Caramel has a second
thoughts about picking up his call.
But she wanted to say goodbye for the last time. She loved Grey anyways.
She stepped out and tried to find a secure place to pick up the call. The plane won't be taking off until
thirty minutes later which meant she had the time.
She was about to pick up when she saw two strange men walking towards her slowly. They had this
dark frown on their faces and they were in suits.
Caramel gathered her forehead as she regarded them for another moment before she realized they
were actually coming towards her.
Caramel turned around quickly, to leavejnstinct.
When she turned left, the guys also turned left. She hurried towards the entrance of the plane but found
another two strange-looking men standing and waiting for her. She knew that instant that she had no
chance. She might even have to miss her flight.
She turned to her right quickly. They almost caught up with her and so she started to run. These men
ran after her. They multiplied along the way.
It was at this moment that she realized she had to call Grey. But when she looked down at her hands,
she realized she wasn't holding her phone anymore. She must have dropped it on the run.
"Shit!" She cursed.
Three men showed up in front of her suddenly and she was forced to a sudden stop, her breath coming
out so fast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was nowhere to turn to, it was a dead end.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Before she could ask more questions, there was a handkerchief being held to her nose tightly.
Before she would black out, she saw Grey from a distance and made to reach out to him. She
struggled with the men but she was no match.
Grey was the last picture on her mind before she fell into the darkness.
Grey had been trying Caramel's number but she wouldn't pick up. He figured that she must still be mad
at him.
Well, Beatrice told him the time of Caramel's flight which was why he was at the airport at that time. He
just wanted to make sure that Caramel got to her destination safely.
There was an announcement ongoing about the departure. Grey tried Caramel's number again but she
didn't pick up. So, he decided to call Beatrice's number.
She picked it up immediately. "Hello Grey, is anything the matter?"
"I can't get across to Caramel. Can you call her for me and confirm she's doing fine?"
"Sure, I will do that immediately. I will call you back quickly," she said and hung up.
Grey sighed. He didn't believe he was missing work because of Caramel. Caramel could have been
alright. He didn’t know why he was bothering himself.
He turned to leave when Beatrice's call came through. He picked it up immediately.
"Hello, Grey! I can't get to Caramel. I spoke to her this morning. She wouldn't ignore me. And the
phone is still ringing but she's just not picking up!" Her voice was filled with anxiety and fear.
Grey gathered his brows. "The plane is just about to depart. Her number shouldn't be ringing anymore.
I will try to call her again," he didn't wait for a reply before he hung up.
He placed a call to Caramel. It rang but no one picked it up. Definitely, something was really
happening.
