The Contract

Chapter 86-The Workaholic

TRAVIS'S P.O.V

"Trent has been in LA ever since, there's a convention this evening. He sent an invite, I don't know what he's playing at Travis but I've been keeping an eye on him"

"Thank you, Abel"

"You told me to look into Aiden Miller"

"And?"

"He might be a member of the society" I paused and looked up. "He might show up today, he's a slippery guy. He can't be trusted"

"I know that" I replied. "Anything else?"

"I'll get back to you when there is" with that I ended the call and took a gulp of the drink. I knew that bastard can't be trusted, what does he want from her?

I have to dig this up, I have to attend the convention.

A message dropped in from Adrian, reminding me I had to catch a flight to Washington today.

I placed down the glass and got up, walking to the window, I put on the black blazer unto the blue ensemble with the ring in my finger.

I grabbed the suitcase and headed out of the study, I need a smoke. I walked down the hallway, my phone ringing in my blazer pocket.

I stopped and pulled it out, it was Adrian. I answered and he went straight to business.

I paused when I heard a groan coming from her room, I turned to the door and heard clattering coming from in there. "... I'm on my way" I ended the call and walked to the door.

I heard her groan, so i reached for the door knob. I stopped myself, what would be my explanation if nothing was wrong?

I moved away and immediately the door got pulled open and there she was, she straightened up once she saw me. "What?" She spat, irritation in her tone.

I moved away and she stepped out fully, I noticed she had her hand on the lower part of her stomach. "Is everything okay?"

"Why do you care?"

She was snappy this morning, something was up.

She shut her eyes, groaning a little, she wouldn't tell me what it was, "shouldn't you be heading out?"

"I was about to" I replied.

She sighed and walked past me, walking down the stairs. I was right behind her, she winced once in a while. "Good morning, Mr and Mrs Ferrari, breakfast is—"

"Don't worry Evelyn, I'll grab some warm water to go" she replied. "Okay" Evelyn walked out and she turned back to me, shooting me a look.

Probably wondering why I wasn't leaving.

I headed out to the car, Williams pulling the door open for me but I paused and turned back to the house.

I know how stubborn she could be, even though she was going through shits, she won't give anything.

I lingered at that spot waiting, she finally got out, sipping from a can. I watched her walk to her car as Jeffrey waited for her.

She stopped half away, hands over her stomach. That's it!

"Jeffrey, I'll take her" I called out, walking to them. Her eyes shot to me, "What?!"

I grabbed her hand and began pulling her to my car. "What are you doing? Where are we going, Travis?!" She questioned.

I took the keys from Williams and led her into the passengers seat before I took the driver's seat.

"Travis!"
