Loving Winter Black || ✔️Completed

7.

Inside the big mahogany room, a very tensed air filled the atmosphere because of the presence of the man who lay resting on his chair with a drink on his hand.
He gulps his drink in one swig and rests his head on the chair again.

Staring at the ceiling, he spins his chair round and round laughing out like a maniac.
When the room fell silent, the phone rang.

"Its Abbadon." Says the man on the phone cutting straight to the chase.

A roar of laughter erupted again filling the whole room. He rose from his seat and walked towards an abstract painting that was hung on the wall.

"My lord?"

"Get me every little detail on them. I want it all on my desk before midnight, Joe."

"Understood."

Joe keeps the phone and makes haste to get on with his new assigned work. He needed to make it before the deadline if he valued his life.
Now, knowing that it was Abbadon that they are dealing with, it wouldn't be easy to get any information especially their data at that too. The fight this time was going to be dark and lethal. Thinking about it only made him shiver.

Still staring at the painting, Theo folds his knuckles into a fist; his whole demeanour intensified radiating off an evil aura and his green eyes burned with rage and fury.

"Simon...Simon...Simon" he shakes his head chuckling.

"Tsk tsk.....we cross paths this time."
He smiles demonically walking over to his chair again.

He laughs again amused at the fact that his suspicion turned out to be true.

That night when he went back to check on his Winter, he wasn't sure if he had heard her correctly. But when he listened to her attentively crying for Simon, his eyes itself showed that he was taken aback. He couldn't believe his ears.
There was only one man who he could think of at that point.

Simon Abandon.

The young Master of the Royal family; the sole heir of the Royals who was feared by many and so powerful was he that many cowered at his feet. Even he himself acknowledged him but of course he was not intimidated by him for they were on the same league.
They had never interfered in one another's business. Not that they avoided each other but there never was a time where they collided. No such situation aroused till date.

Theo felt betrayed and hurt at the sight of her Winter calling for another man in his presence at first which then turned into uneasiness.

Leaving her under Maria's care after making sure she was okay, he left that night itself afraid that he would do something he'd regret later.

When he returned to his headquarters, he couldn't shake of the bad feeling. It couldn't possibly be him, could it? He questioned himself but the more he thought back of the incidents and joined the dots, it all became clearer.
Why they couldn't get anything on Winter.
Why someone was able to hack into one of their securities.
Why someone was keeping an eye on his move.
And why the last few times Winter was out, she was being followed.

All these inquisitions, it made sense now. Only someone powerful enough could have through his tight-knit securities, block all access to Winter's data, to keep track on his movements which nobody could even the Interpol and that was Simon Abbadon who was not to be underestimated under any circumstances at all.

"Maria?"

"Yes dear...do you need anything?"

"Was Theo here last night?"

"Good lord!" Maria laughed out. "You miss him so much, don't you? He's only been gone for a few hours....he'll be back soon don't worry."
"He left in a hurry last night...tell me, would he have come back again to miss out his important meeting?"

Winter stood confused. She definitely did see a figure last night but before she could sneak a peek her eyes gave out.

Maria cleared her throat looking at her doubtful innocent face. She felt really bad lying to her but she couldn't evade her lord's command. She was ordered not to inform her of his arrival last night.

"Go sit down....lunch will be ready in five."

"Okay." "Oh and Maria? Did Theo call?"

"I don't recall dear."

That's strange, she thought. Theo should've called her to check up on her by now.
She felt her heart squeeze at the thought of being disregarded.
However she quickly pushed off her silly thoughts and smiled brightly when she thought of giving him a call herself instead of waiting for him to call.
