THE CEO AND ME!

"I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr Harrington comes to get you."

And the last thing I felt was a big hit on my head, clouding my vision to the darkness as I felt my body falling down, crashing on the floor.

Kian's P.O.V

I was walking back and forth in my office thinking about how to solve this impending crisis as I was losing time second by second.

I had asked Madison to send me the contract between the Herrington and Rutherford and read it word by word.

The contract was the sadist advantage taken by both the families through Tinsley as their scare goat.

I could not even believe how could a father use his own daughter the way this old bastard did like a piece of a pawn in the game of chess.

And I could not come up to believe in what regards Tinsley accepted to the terms and conditions of this contract.

Was the girl blind or deaf??

I was so so angry at her for giving away her future to be played, toyed and ruined by a bunch of old bastards.

But then Madison informed me that the contract was made when Tinsley was just right year's of age and that made sense.

What possibly an eight-year-old would know about freedom then??

I felt for her at that moment...now I was aware of the life she had lived and why she was like how she was.

She was grown up, bought up in that way, moulded to be obedient and submissive in her manner.

It made sense then why she was so afraid of disobeying and feared to give her own opinion.

I asked for my lawyer to get here and explain to me in what terms this contract could be declared void and after hours of going through it, he gave up.

The contract was made in a way that there was no way out. And we all got into thinking deep.

I had asked Madison to cancel all my meetings and appointments for the day. I needed to find a way out of it before Josh claimed the help of law in taking Tinsley away with him and I would not be able to do a thing because he would have the law by his side.

At one point, I thought of taking it to the court, showing how he mistreated Tinsley, the abuse he imposed on her, capturing her by force but then her scars had healed by now so there would not be any evidence to back up our trial.

I even ordered Madison to call all the guests from that party who could stand in the court as a witness against Josh of how he himself declared to break the contract off.

But then none of them was available and the servants serving at the party were all loyal to Herrington...no matter how much I bribed them, they would not open their mouth.

The guests were just out of hand. Unfortunately, they were all that bastard's friends or family members who would not voice out against him.

The rest famous persona that attended were out of the country who could have acted in support of us but it was too late to reach out to them and explain the situation to them.

I urged my lawyer to keep looking for a way out. I needed to protect Tinsley by hook and crook from that man.

I had seen her what had happened after what he did to her. It was the hardest to watch her suffer silently all by herself before opening up to me.

I had seen her face turning pale, dying out in my arms as I rescued her from the pool that night.

I did not want to head back to those moments again. I never ever wanted her to see in that state again...not in this lifetime.

Knowing my aunt, she would do anything to get her hands upon Tinsley and help Josh, the way she promised him to. She never backed away from her promise and so will I.

I had vowed to protect and take care of her after that pool incident, and I shall abide by it till I was alive.

It was then my cell ringed and Madison thrashed inside my office, handing me the phone with a horrified face.

"Sir...sir I have bad news. "

It was Carlos and immediately my mind went to Tinsley. Did something happen to her?? Did she try to harm herself??

I knew that I was rude to her...did not explain to her why I got angry. I got angry only because she chose to believe my aunt over me when she claimed that she would never ever doubt me.

And then when I tried to talk to her, apologies to her, she acted like a whiny brat and denied it when I was only trying to be nice to her.

But now I regret all of it. For bringing my ego before her...not trying harder to make her listen to me. I just hoped that she was fine and everything was alright.

"What is it, Carlos??"

I asked, wishing internally that the bad news was not about Tinsley...not about her at all.

"Ms Rutherford had escaped the condo with the help of someone. A blue dodge took her away and we tracked her down..."

"What the hell?? What were the guards doing huh??"

I blasted out, interrupting Carlos in anger and frustration. She escaped!!!

Goddamnit, it!!!

"But sir...we tracked her down..."

"To where??"

I was harsh in my voice, it roared in the office room and I did not give one fuck about it if I was disturbing the decorum of my own workplace.

"To Mrs Wilson's mansion, sir." Please visit fr𝗲𝙚𝔀e𝙗𝓃oν𝐞𝑙. c𝚘𝘮

He replied, blowing my mind off as I did not know how to react to that.

How was I going to get her back before she handed Tinsley to that scumbag??
