Vince’s POV
Her face tightens with pain as he continues to kick her, a sob threatening to escape her mouth.
Then, she loses consciousness as a scream pierces Tessa’s lip.
I shut my eyes as I hang up the call and clench the phone tightly.
Anger burns in my veins.
Hurt blooms into my chest.
They are hurting her. That silly Mark is hurting my baby. I'm going to fucking shoot his brains out.
“Vince, what's the meaning of what you just did?!” Fernando barks at me. I throw him a scathing glare before marching past him to the tech guy.
I installed a chip in Annette’s body because I knew something like this would happen someday. I just didn't expect Isaac to be the one to have her, though.
I knew something was up when Tessa called, so I alerted the tech guy.
Everything they were doing. Everything they were saying. We saw and heard them.
I saw Tessa trembling with fear and how brave Annette was trying to be. The way she told me not to come was daunting.
I was tempted to bark at her for telling me that, but I knew I had to be smart. Isaac is brilliant.
He wouldn't ask me to come if he didn't have a plan to get both Ann and me.
This is why I planned to tell him I was not coming. That way, they would not see what hit them.
Focusing on the unconscious Ann, I grip the seat of the tech guy, Mathew, just as Fernando taps me again.
“Vince?!” This time, his voice is softer. I can't tell if he is this mad because I am risking Ann’s life by telling them to get rid of her or if this is because of Tessa.
I shouldn't have let them go away like I did. I should have insisted on talking more to Ann.
I should have grabbed her against her will, threw her into the car, and drove off home.
Maybe all of this shit wouldn't have happened.
I knew Mark was acting fishy and suspicious, but I didn't expect to find out he was Isaac’s second son.
Fernando called me after Annette left to inform me about that. Isaac had a secret son doing what Carter was responsible for before his death.
We were trying to figure out who it was when the call came in.
“Trust me,” I say to him, my gaze not leaving Annette’s from the screen.
Wake up, girl!
Suddenly, her leg jerks, and she moves.
“That's my girl,” I mutter with pride. Signalling to Luca and Fernando, we move out quietly.
The tech guy follows.We need him to come with us to know what is happening inside.
Now that Annette is conscious, it is time to strike. If she were still unconscious, they wouldn't be able to do whatever they wanted to do to her, but now that she was conscious, there was no time to waste before they hurt both women more.
“I told Tessa to go straight home,” Fernando mutters beside me, confirming my suspicion about his worry.
To be honest, I am worried about both women, but I can't deny that I think more of Ann than Tessa, so I wouldn't blame Fernando for doing the same.
That is what happens when you care so much about someone.
They will always come first and this has confirmed Kyra’s statement and fueled my confidence about my feelings for Annette.
