Chapter 20

Nathaniel Lachlan

As I furiously walked towards my house, I recalled my earlier conversation with the bodyguard I had assigned to keep Elizabeth safe in case Michael decides to do something stupid. The only reason I didn’t tell her about this is that she can be a bit pedantic about this entire circumstance. Also, I didn’t want to worry her about anything.

When I realized Elizabeth hadn’t arrived at the office yet, I called her thrice, but she didn’t answer which made me anxious. So thinking about the worst, I called the bodyguard to ask him about Elizabeth’s whereabouts.

“Hey Jake, do you know where Elizabeth is? She is safe right?” I asked with concern evident in my voice.

“Yes boss, she is completely fine, but I don’t think you are going to like hearing what happened.” He says in a nervous voice.

“What happened?” I say, I could feel my shoulders getting tense.

Don’t say, Michael.

Don’t say, Michael.
