When Lust Turns to Love [R-18 SPG] COMPLETED✔️

CHAPTER 51

Hannah Towers' POV

I grip my chest in utter shock as I read the text message again. I had hoped it would disappear and maybe my eyes are pulling tricks on me but the large black words showing in my screen are clear as day.

Break up with Justin or die!

Who the hell would send me a message like this? There aren't that many people who knew about my relationship with Justin. Mrs. Royce, Amber and Mark are the only people who knew about us.

Could it be Athalia? But that's impossible. Athalia seemed like a nice delicate girl who wouldn't hurt a fly when we had a small talk the other night.

Oh, right, she lied about one thing but would she go this far?

My hands are already shaking in panic and I curse under my breath. Suddenly, I'm thankful I'm in the comfort of my own apartment and Justin's security men who are outside. Slowly, I calm myself down.

Supposingly, the sender is Athalia. Would she really kill me? Did she mean it literally or what? What if she would harm Justin? I know the message was intended for me but I couldn't help but think what she might do to Justin. What should I do? I have to do something.

With shaking hands, I dial Justin's number. At the second ring, he answers.

"Hi babe!"

"Justin?" I breathe out a sigh of relief from hearing his voice but I frowned when I heard cars beeping in the background. "Where are you, Justin? I thought you're in your office."

"Uh, I forgot some files in my penthouse. I'm just gonna pick them up."

"Is Mark with you?"

"Yeah, he's driving." A relieved sigh escapes my lips. Okay, Hannah. Calm down. His bodyguard is with him so there's nothing to worry about.

"Hannah?"

"Uh, yes?"

"I love you. Always." My heart skips a beat. Normally, I would feel flustered when he declares his love for me but something in his voice bothers me.

"I love you too, Justin. See you later." I hang up and rush to my door. Something is definitely not right. Justin will order someone to get his files for him if ever he forgets them. He should lie better if he wants me to believe him.

As soon as I open my door, one of the men steps forward and blocks me.

"Miss Towers, please go back inside."

I narrow my eyes at him. "Your orders were to guard me and accompany me wherever I wish to go. Now I want to go out. You can accompany me then."

He doesn't budge and instead replies, "There was a sudden change of orders, Ma'am. We're tasked to keep you here and don't let you go out for now until further instructions."

Damn it! I close the door and get back to my living room. Why did Justin change his orders all of a sudden? Why would he not let me go out? I dial Justin's number but it only keeps ringing. Damn it!

My over thinking mind is at work again. Why would Justin lie? Why would he suddenly go back to his penthouse? And why am I not allowed to go out?

I rush to the old storage room for my tutoring stuff. It has a back door leading outside. I can sneak out without the men spotting me. I push and slowly unlock the rusty old door and peek outside.

Damn it! One of the men is standing a few feet away with his back on me. So it seems like they have my apartment surrounded.

I take a deep breath. It's now or never. My instinct is really telling me right now to hurry up and get to Justin's penthouse. Right then, I spot an empty cab driving towards my direction. As quietly as I could, I walk outside and hid myself behind the tree at the side of the road. I quickly hail the cab and get in.
