Loving You Too Long

“Wh-who are you?!” Loretta asked in the midst of her pain. “Ramon! Ramon! Where are you, you bastard!” she shouted loudly. Loretta looked at the darkened cabin where Ramon should have been behind the ship’s wheel. She trusted the man who had tormented Nathan all day to be the captain of the ship they were on.

“We’ve neutralized Brother Ramon from the beginning!” said the uniformed man, walking closer to Loretta, who had turned pale and looked in pain, taking handcuffs out of his pocket. The other two men working for Loretta had already been instructed to kneel, and the two other men in black uniforms handcuffed their hands behind their backs.

“How did you get here?” Loretta asked, trying to buy time as the police put handcuffs on her. Unlike her two henchmen, Loretta’s handcuffs were placed in front, allowing her to still hold her bleeding leg.

“You’ll know the chronology later,” the policeman said, pulling Loretta’s arm to make her stand.

Unbeknownst to Loretta, the ship they had been on since earlier was now approaching the shore. She hadn’t noticed the dock just a hundred meters ahead because there was no light at all.

“You!” The woman glared at Nathan. “You and your whore wife!” Loretta couldn’t utter another word. Her eyes darted around, looking for the figure she suddenly believed had survived the plunge. But she didn’t find the woman. “Where is that slut?!” She roared as the man in black uniform dragged her farther away from the deck.

” Haisley is fine. You don’t need to worry about her,” said the man in black with a mocking smile on his face, making Loretta shout her frustration into the wind.

A few hours earlier.

“This won’t be easy.” Abigail tried to talk to Haisley face to face. She asked Flavia to go to the kitchen with a few excuses so that her friend wouldn’t hear what she and Haisley were discussing. “Stop crying and listen to me, Haisley!” Abigail said, shaking Haisley’s arm. The woman in front of her wiped away tears with the backs of her hands and looked at Abigail with red eyes.

“Listen to me carefully.” Abigail said, nodded to by Haisley. “Uncle Antony has planned all this with me, and now I’m going to tell you. Listen and understand, then act on it.” She said, once again nodded to by Haisley. “There’s a good chance Loretta won’t contact Nathan’s family because she doesn’t need anything from them. But she will contact you.” Abigail said, making Haisley look at her in disbelief. “When that happens. Give me a code.”

Haisley furrowed her brow in confusion. Shouldn’t she tell her family if Loretta contacts her? It seemed like Haisley voiced that thought unintentionally because Abigail shook her head and said,

“Uncle Antony asked us not to trust too much in Loretta’s father’s henchmen.” Abigail whispered, making Haisley’s eyes widen. “Even if he says he’s hands-off on this case, Uncle Antony isn’t entirely sure. So now we can only trust Uncle Antony’s people.” Abigail said, answered with a hesitant nod from Haisley. “If he sends you a message, look at me, blink twice, then raise your eyebrow. The number of fingers you raise must be equal to the number of messages he sent. Do you understand?” Abigail asked, once again nodded to by Haisley.

“I’m sure she’ll ask you not to tell anyone. And it’s possible that if you say you got a message from us, Loretta’s father’s people will be the messengers. Whether it’s for Loretta or for her father. But if that happens, it means you have to be prepared to lose Nathan.” “So, if she says she’ll meet you with Nathan and tells you to sneak out of this villa. Give me a code if you want to sleep and don’t want to be disturbed. Understand?” Haisley nodded again. “The reason Flavia shouldn’t know is that you know she’ll panic. When she panics, she won’t think clearly, and I don’t want Uncle Antony’s efforts to fail.”

“When we leave the room later, I’ll keep Flavia and the people in this house away from this room. You then go to the security post, tell him to come in. He’ll know what that means because I’ve given him instructions. After you leave, I’ll take them to the CCTV room so everyone is convinced that you left of your own accord. Understand?”

“T-then, what happens after that?” Haisley asked, panicked.

“After that, there will be further instructions. You just need to do what they tell you.” Abigail said, and Haisley could only nod silently.

Haisley followed all the instructions Abigail gave without missing a single one. When she raised her fingers to Abigail, her friend just looked at her and gave a faint nod.

As she pretended to sleep, Abigail then invited Flavia to leave her alone.

Haisley then crept out of the room and headed to the security post. She informed the male guard at the post as Abigail had instructed. She then left after the guard left his post and got into the waiting car.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Hello, dear. Ready to go?” The driver asked Haisley while the other man got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Haisley to get in.

“Don’t worry, we won’t do anything dirty outside the job assigned to us.” The second man said with a grin as he saw Haisley hesitating to get into the car. The car then drove off, and the man suddenly reached into his pocket, took out a phone, and made a call. “Yes, Boss, she’s with us now.” The man said. Haisley suspected the call was from Loretta, but she was wrong. The man then switched the call to loudspeaker and handed it to Haisley.

“Hello, Haisley. It’s Uncle Antony, remember me?” The deep voice of a man on the other end made Haisley stunned. Somehow, Haisley felt like crying at that very moment, but she held herself back. “Listen carefully, my dear. These two are now working with me.” He said, making Haisley look at the two men alternately.

“We work for anyone who pays us.” The man behind the wheel said.
