2133

2.16 Tunnel

-A/N I decided to add another chapter (2 chaps) to this story.-

"Who is that Theo you were talking about?" Mr. Tomlinson asked me.

"He... He came to me while you were with your wife for three days. He told me that you sent him," I explained. "Then I asked him for help when you were drunk."

"But you were the only one there when I was drunk," Mr. Tomlinson stated.

"So you remember what you said?" I asked.

"That is not the point, Pearl. Did you see that guy again after that?" he asked me sincerely.

"Theo came to my room today. He wanted to comfort me after what happened. He saw me entering my room agitated," I answered. I was embarassed about the rest of the story, but I was not going to lie about it. "I was so shaken that I did not realise he was making a move on me. Theo kissed my neck and touched me, but I stopped him."

"He WHAT?"

"Nothing else happened. He left afterwards. I have not seen him ever since," I quickly continued. Our conversation was held in a low tone.

"He almost raped you and you did not come to me?" Mr. Tomlinson asked. He seemed furious.

"First of all, he did not rape me. He probably thought I was suggesting it, I mean, I was the one falling into his embrace like a mad girl," I said. I was defending Theo. Tomlinson did not like that. "And... I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I grew up on my own with my sister. I know how to get myself out of situations, I do not need you to help me like I am some damsel in distress."

"But you are a virgin, right?" He shook his head. I was bewildered. "We are losing focus. Do you think he could be the one behind all of this?"

"I do not know whether he would be capable of something so terrible. He seemed to know you, I trusted him," I told Mr. Tomlinson. "Are you sure there aren't any Theos in your staff?"

"I know every single member of my staff and not a single one has that name. In first name, or surname," he uttered. I looked around the place we were in. It was dark, and we could still see the hallway.

"Are we going to stay here?"

"No. We are closing the door and we are following the tunnels," he revealed.

"What tunnels?" Mr. Tomlinson pushed us deeper into the 'tunnel' and closed the door. I could officially not see a thing.

Then he clapped and the light went on. It was a straight trace showing us the path of the tunnel.

"How did you come up with all of this?" I asked him. My voice echoed.

"The Tomlinson name is a brand. I have enemies, a lot of them. They always try to find ways to drain me of my money. I had this system installed ages ago," he explained. Mr. Tomlinson started walking and I followed him.

"Where is your wife? Does she know about this?"

"Nobody knows about this but me and the people who installed it. Although they think it is some sort of bowling alley," he said. "My wife is in the bedroom."

"Why did you not take her with you?"

He answered, "Take her with me where? To your room? Are you in the mood for a threesome now?"

"So you admit that you were coming to my room earlier," I said.

"Yes, I was. Are you satisfied?" I nodded.

"Aren't we going to get your wife?" I asked him.

"That is what we are going to do now. This tunnel leads to the bedroom."

We followed the tunnel to another door. Mr. Tomlinson turned the lights off and opened the door with his hand. I saw him open his mouth to say something, but he stopped when we heard voices from their bedroom.

"What do you mean she is not there?" his wife asked annoyed.

A familiar voice replied, "I checked her room and she is not in there, Ashley."

"Theo, you had one job! I told you to find the wh.ore and kill her. She has feelings for him. She is dangerous," she uttered.

Mr. Tomlinson took my hand, suprising me with his gesture.

"I searched the entire house. She is nowhere to be found. Plus there was this weird sound coming out of the speakers," Theo said. "Where is your husband?"

"I do not care about where he is. Louis is probably in his office somewhere," she uttered, not really bothered about Mr. Tomlinson. "Did you check the security cameras, you idiot?"

Theo and Mr. Tomlinson said at the same time, "Sh.it."

-2133 is such a fun universe to write in. I do not want it to end, seriously. I could write a couple more stories in this universe.
I hinted at the wives of the families sleeping with the orders, would you be interested in that?
So far we have had only men as love interests.
But there are more types of men to discover.
My leading ladies will remain strong and unsuitable for the agency. I don't want to explore the barbies' heads yet.-
