Chapter 28 Troubles
When Jacob left, I called Sato- the kidnapper.
Hello honey, he said coldly
Sato. Did you got the money?
Yes. The boss was happy.
Now that I completed what you wanted, can you leave my boyfriend now?
Honey that was just the beginning.
What? What do you want from me?
I just followed orders Ms. Kaynes.
Who is your boss?
You will soon to meet him. He said laughing
Listen here, the boss wants you and your boyfriend is just a collateral since he is billionaire. His life depends on you that is why you need to comply on what the boss will say. If that is the cade, then why don't you just kidnap me?
The boss knows that your weakness is your boyfriend. He doesn't care on who will be hurt.
I want to see your boss.
You are not the one to decide on when will you meet the boss because the boss will come to you soon.
I don't-
The line went dead.
Hey Tanya,
I could not make it tonight. I have something to do. I sill see you soon as I am done with my business take care of the baby and yourself. Love you!
Hi Minty,
Is there something wrong? You sound weird?
"everything is fine Tanya." I replied.
"Okay. Get in touch when you need a help or there is something wrong".
I threw my phone on my desk and buried my face on my table.
Minty? Is everything okay?
Yes, do you need anything?
Are you sure? You look pale babe.
I don't want you to work when you are like that. Go home and rest. Maybe you are tired.
Okay. I said as I grabbed my phone and bag. See you later Jacob!
Bye babe. Take care of yourself. I already called Deniss. He will sent you home.
I am keeping my tears from falling I do not want Jacob will see it.
Minty you okay? Asked by Deniss
Yes I'm fine. Thank you for asking.
Well here are then. He said parking outside the house of Jacob. Can you go by yourself or you need a help? Its okay Deniss. Thanks anyway. I said smiling.
Bye Minty.
I rushed going upstairs. I got a large suitcase and put on the bed. I just grabbed clothes and out them inside.
When I opened one of boxes from my apartment, I saw a picture. It was me and Jacob during our official date. You look good together said by the photographer. His hands were placed on my waist and he looked at me with so much love. My eyes become glassy as I reminisce that time. I remembered the words of the old couple who passed by and saw us.
"You look like a lively couple. I know that both of you will grow together just like I am and my husband"
By then, I heard Jasper saying "I hope too".
I can no longer my tears from falling. It is really hard to do this, but I need to. It will keep Jacob safe and unharmed.
I grabbed a pen and paper. Before I will go, I need to make a note to Jacob.
Dear Jacob,

I am sorry. I really am. I do not want to do this to you, but I need to. I cannot do this anymore. There are lots of women who can replace me. This relationship will never work out that is why I am going. You deserve a woman who can give your needs and that is not me. You are a strong man Jacob. You are really great and you deserve only people who are amazing just like you.
I am coward to say that I love you, but there I finally said it. You are the best man in my life Jacob.
Yours truly,
Minty
P. S please do not come and look for me. I love you my man.
With my shaking hands, I folded the paper and put in on the bedside table with his name on top.
With a final glance, I looked around the room. My tears falling and it hard to control if. Finally, I decided to go down and leave the house that gives me comfort and happiness even for a short period of time.
I waited for a taxi to bring me to the airport.
Where to miss?
Airport I said with a shaking voice.
I forced myself not to look back because I am afraid that I will change my mind and go back.
As we headed to the airport, I stayed quiet. I can only hear the horns of the cars. I just stayed there and hummed with the music playing.
Finally, Jacob will now be safe.
