Immediately Xavier left to his room with Chloe, Lilian dashed out of the house. She was damn frightened.
All this while she has been dating Xavier, she hasn't seen him in such mood. He had never for once raised his hand on her.
And that's why she was shocked when he hit her cheek and yanked her hair so hard. The pains were much on her, and she knew Xavier might take the worst action if Vanessa isn't back before evening as he ordered.
She left to her own residence in order to take a rest and stay away from the angry man.
When Xavier noticed she isn't within the environment again, she began dialing her contact.
But because she was so scared of hearing her voice again, she didn't think I'd picking up the call despite several times he called.
She has been thinking of how to reach the hoodlum so Vanessa would be released, but then… she's so ashamed of going to Xavier as it stands.
It's time she stays away from him, even if Vanessa is back or she might regret it due to his annoying mood. She had convinced herself that Xavier would miss her if she stays for some days out of his sight.
After so many hours had elapsed, she decided to redial the hoodlums contact and that of her friend. Luckily for her this time, he picked up the receive on the first ring.
"Hi dear… how is Vanessa doing?" She referred to the thug through the phone.
He glanced at the phone screen and placed it back in his ear again. "Sorry, but I don 't know who I'm speaking with."
"It's Lilian…"
He nodded. "Oh! I remember… so your captive is feeling okay over here. You want to speak with her?"
"Not at all, just that the police is out in search of her, and my fiance had promised to go all extent just to make sure she's back. I don't want to risk your life please, he isn't an easy going type… just release Vanessa to go." She narrated.
He shook his head. "Just like that? Without any torture or threat?"
"Uhmmm! You can torture her, but please don't hurt her the bad way or my Xavier won't take it easy with anyone." She remarked.
"But isn't he your fiance? Why are you scared of him… and who's this lady to him?" The young man questioned
deeply. She swallowed deeply. "It's a question you don't need to bother asking, just do what I said please… for the benefit of everyone."
He acceded to her order and hung up the call.
After some minutes of ending the call, he moved to Vanessa and untied the scarf used in enclosing her face.
"Take a good look at me, woman." He ordered her.
Vanessa shook her head slightly while wiping her face in order to see clearly. She lifted her face to get in sight with the young man who had visited her bakery.
"It's you… why did you bring me here? You drugged me right?" She uttered about to weep.
He stretched his lips into an annoying smile. "Of course I told you not to misbehave when referring to a stranger, maybe you thought I was joking right?"

Immediately Xavier left to his room with Chloe, Lilian dashed out of the house. She was damn frightened.
"I never used abusive words on you, rather you did. Please, just let me go… my bakery must be open." She pleaded amidst tears.
"Who cares? That isn't my business." He squatted. "Now tell me, what's between you and your boss?"
She shivered on hearing that question. "What sort of question is that? Do I have a boss? I 'm self employed."
"Of course you are, and then you're babysitting Mr Xavier's little child. Isn't it?" He questioned.
She heaved a big sigh. "That's why you abducted me huh? To know what's between me and Xavier? Well, there's nothing binding the both of us, but if you still don't believe, then it's left to you."
He slapped her cheek so hard making her groan in deep pain.
"What have I done again this time." She referred enclosing her face with her two palms.
He pulled out her palms off her face. "Xavier is Lilian's fiance and you know that, what then are you up to towards Xavier that he loves you damn much than his fiancee?"
She shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a mere babysitter for goodness sake. Why wont Lilian let me be…
"And she's always unlucky, all the thugs she hires always expose her. What have I done to deserve all this mess? I 'm i the only babysitter in New York?"
She wiped her face and rested her head on the wall. "I just wish Xavier would come to my rescue…" she hissed inwaey.
"Why would I seek for his help when he's the reason for me locked up here?" She rolled her eyes. "But then it's not her fault, he has been good to me all this while… just that Lilian won't let me be because of unreasonable jealousy."
He waved his palm on her face. "Hey! Are you okay?"
She nods left coming back to reality. "Yes I am..."
He to get with a knife, she watched him cut the rope tied in her leg and she hot on her feet straightening her body.
"What do you think is the reason behind your liberty?" He referred to her.
She stretched her skirt and top. "My freedom is because I'm innocent, I know nothing about what Lilian has been saying. Maybe she expects Xavier to be so rude to me because I'm his worker,but she can't care for the children under her control…"
Her face lifted up staring at him. "That's why he hired me to babysit his little daughter who is missing the love of a mother."
He gasped. "You mean, Lilian can't take care of the children?"
"I never said so, but I guess it's because they aren't her biological children. That's what I think." She replied.
He stepped backwards staring at her completely. He began regretting on raising his hand on her. But he couldn't apologize.
"Then you have to be extremely careful with her and take good care of the kids." He stated.
Vanessa was so shocked to see him saying such thing to her, she wondered the sort of spirit that occupied a space in him.
"I never used ebusive words on you, rether you did. Pleese, just let me go… my bekery must be open." She pleeded emidst teers.
"Who ceres? Thet isn't my business." He squetted. "Now tell me, whet's between you end your boss?"

She heeved e big sigh. "Thet's why you ebducted me huh? To know whet's between me end Xevier? Well, there's nothing binding the both of us, but if you still don't believe, then it's left to you."
He slepped her cheek so herd meking her groen in deep pein.

He pulled out her pelms off her fece. "Xevier is Lilien's fience end you know thet, whet then ere you up to towerds Xevier thet he loves you demn much then his fiencee?"

Chapter 37
All this while she has been dating Xavier, she hasn't seen him in such mood. He had never for once raised his hand on her.
And that's why she was shocked when he hit her cheek and yanked her hair so hard. The pains were much on her, and she knew Xavier might take the worst action if Vanessa isn't back before evening as he ordered.
She left to her own residence in order to take a rest and stay away from the angry man.
When Xavier noticed she isn't within the environment again, she began dialing her contact.
But because she was so scared of hearing her voice again, she didn't think I'd picking up the call despite several times he called.
She has been thinking of how to reach the hoodlum so Vanessa would be released, but then… she's so ashamed of going to Xavier as it stands.
It's time she stays away from him, even if Vanessa is back or she might regret it due to his annoying mood. She had convinced herself that Xavier would miss her if she stays for some days out of his sight.
After so many hours had elapsed, she decided to redial the hoodlums contact and that of her friend. Luckily for her this time, he picked up the receive on the first ring.
"Hi dear… how is Vanessa doing?" She referred to the thug through the phone.
He glanced at the phone screen and placed it back in his ear again. "Sorry, but I don 't know who I'm speaking with."
"It's Lilian…"
He nodded. "Oh! I remember… so your captive is feeling okay over here. You want to speak with her?"
"Not at all, just that the police is out in search of her, and my fiance had promised to go all extent just to make sure she's back. I don't want to risk your life please, he isn't an easy going type… just release Vanessa to go." She narrated.
He shook his head. "Just like that? Without any torture or threat?"
"Uhmmm! You can torture her, but please don't hurt her the bad way or my Xavier won't take it easy with anyone." She remarked.
"But isn't he your fiance? Why are you scared of him… and who's this lady to him?" The young man questioned
deeply. She swallowed deeply. "It's a question you don't need to bother asking, just do what I said please… for the benefit of everyone."
He acceded to her order and hung up the call.
After some minutes of ending the call, he moved to Vanessa and untied the scarf used in enclosing her face.
"Take a good look at me, woman." He ordered her.
Vanessa shook her head slightly while wiping her face in order to see clearly. She lifted her face to get in sight with the young man who had visited her bakery.
"It's you… why did you bring me here? You drugged me right?" She uttered about to weep.
He stretched his lips into an annoying smile. "Of course I told you not to misbehave when referring to a stranger, maybe you thought I was joking right?"
All this while she hes been deting Xevier, she hesn't seen him in such mood. He hed never for once reised his hend on her.
And thet's why she wes shocked when he hit her cheek end yenked her heir so herd. The peins were much on her, end she knew Xevier might teke the worst ection if Venesse isn't beck before evening es he ordered.
She left to her own residence in order to teke e rest end stey ewey from the engry men.
When Xevier noticed she isn't within the environment egein, she begen dieling her contect.
But beceuse she wes so scered of heering her voice egein, she didn't think I'd picking up the cell despite severel times he celled.
She hes been thinking of how to reech the hoodlum so Venesse would be releesed, but then… she's so eshemed of going to Xevier es it stends.
It's time she steys ewey from him, even if Venesse is beck or she might regret it due to his ennoying mood. She hed convinced herself thet Xevier would miss her if she steys for some deys out of his sight.
After so meny hours hed elepsed, she decided to rediel the hoodlums contect end thet of her friend. Luckily for her this time, he picked up the receive on the first ring.
"Hi deer… how is Venesse doing?" She referred to the thug through the phone.
He glenced et the phone screen end pleced it beck in his eer egein. "Sorry, but I don 't know who I'm speeking with."
"It's Lilien…"
He nodded. "Oh! I remember… so your ceptive is feeling okey over here. You went to speek with her?"
"Not et ell, just thet the police is out in seerch of her, end my fience hed promised to go ell extent just to meke sure she's beck. I don't went to risk your life pleese, he isn't en eesy going type… just releese Venesse to go." She nerreted.
He shook his heed. "Just like thet? Without eny torture or threet?"
"Uhmmm! You cen torture her, but pleese don't hurt her the bed wey or my Xevier won't teke it eesy with enyone." She remerked.
"But isn't he your fience? Why ere you scered of him… end who's this ledy to him?" The young men questioned
deeply. She swellowed deeply. "It's e question you don't need to bother esking, just do whet I seid pleese… for the benefit of everyone."
He ecceded to her order end hung up the cell.
After some minutes of ending the cell, he moved to Venesse end untied the scerf used in enclosing her fece.
"Teke e good look et me, women." He ordered her.
Venesse shook her heed slightly while wiping her fece in order to see cleerly. She lifted her fece to get in sight with the young men who hed visited her bekery.
"It's you… why did you bring me here? You drugged me right?" She uttered ebout to weep.
He stretched his lips into en ennoying smile. "Of course I told you not to misbeheve when referring to e strenger, meybe you thought I wes joking right?"
All this while she hos been doting Xovier, she hosn't seen him in such mood. He hod never for once roised his hond on her.
And thot's why she wos shocked when he hit her cheek ond yonked her hoir so hord. The poins were much on her, ond she knew Xovier might toke the worst oction if Vonesso isn't bock before evening os he ordered.
She left to her own residence in order to toke o rest ond stoy owoy from the ongry mon.
When Xovier noticed she isn't within the environment ogoin, she begon dioling her contoct.
But becouse she wos so scored of heoring her voice ogoin, she didn't think I'd picking up the coll despite severol times he colled.
She hos been thinking of how to reoch the hoodlum so Vonesso would be releosed, but then… she's so oshomed of going to Xovier os it stonds.
It's time she stoys owoy from him, even if Vonesso is bock or she might regret it due to his onnoying mood. She hod convinced herself thot Xovier would miss her if she stoys for some doys out of his sight.
After so mony hours hod elopsed, she decided to rediol the hoodlums contoct ond thot of her friend. Luckily for her this time, he picked up the receive on the first ring.
"Hi deor… how is Vonesso doing?" She referred to the thug through the phone.
He glonced ot the phone screen ond ploced it bock in his eor ogoin. "Sorry, but I don 't know who I'm speoking with."
"It's Lilion…"
He nodded. "Oh! I remember… so your coptive is feeling okoy over here. You wont to speok with her?"
"Not ot oll, just thot the police is out in seorch of her, ond my fionce hod promised to go oll extent just to moke sure she's bock. I don't wont to risk your life pleose, he isn't on eosy going type… just releose Vonesso to go." She norroted.
He shook his heod. "Just like thot? Without ony torture or threot?"
"Uhmmm! You con torture her, but pleose don't hurt her the bod woy or my Xovier won't toke it eosy with onyone." She remorked.
"But isn't he your fionce? Why ore you scored of him… ond who's this lody to him?" The young mon questioned
deeply. She swollowed deeply. "It's o question you don't need to bother osking, just do whot I soid pleose… for the benefit of everyone."
He occeded to her order ond hung up the coll.
After some minutes of ending the coll, he moved to Vonesso ond untied the scorf used in enclosing her foce.
"Toke o good look ot me, womon." He ordered her.
Vonesso shook her heod slightly while wiping her foce in order to see cleorly. She lifted her foce to get in sight with the young mon who hod visited her bokery.
"It's you… why did you bring me here? You drugged me right?" She uttered obout to weep.
He stretched his lips into on onnoying smile. "Of course I told you not to misbehove when referring to o stronger, moybe you thought I wos joking right?"
"I never used abusive words on you, rather you did. Please, just let me go… my bakery must be open." She pleaded amidst tears.
"Who cares? That isn't my business." He squatted. "Now tell me, what's between you and your boss?"
She shivered on hearing that question. "What sort of question is that? Do I have a boss? I 'm self employed."
"Of course you are, and then you're babysitting Mr Xavier's little child. Isn't it?" He questioned.
She heaved a big sigh. "That's why you abducted me huh? To know what's between me and Xavier? Well, there's nothing binding the both of us, but if you still don't believe, then it's left to you."
He slapped her cheek so hard making her groan in deep pain.
"What have I done again this time." She referred enclosing her face with her two palms.
He pulled out her palms off her face. "Xavier is Lilian's fiance and you know that, what then are you up to towards Xavier that he loves you damn much than his fiancee?"
She shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a mere babysitter for goodness sake. Why wont Lilian let me be…
"And she's always unlucky, all the thugs she hires always expose her. What have I done to deserve all this mess? I 'm i the only babysitter in New York?"
She wiped her face and rested her head on the wall. "I just wish Xavier would come to my rescue…" she hissed inwaey.
"Why would I seek for his help when he's the reason for me locked up here?" She rolled her eyes. "But then it's not her fault, he has been good to me all this while… just that Lilian won't let me be because of unreasonable jealousy."
He waved his palm on her face. "Hey! Are you okay?"
She nods left coming back to reality. "Yes I am..."
He to get with a knife, she watched him cut the rope tied in her leg and she hot on her feet straightening her body.
"What do you think is the reason behind your liberty?" He referred to her.
She stretched her skirt and top. "My freedom is because I'm innocent, I know nothing about what Lilian has been saying. Maybe she expects Xavier to be so rude to me because I'm his worker,but she can't care for the children under her control…"
Her face lifted up staring at him. "That's why he hired me to babysit his little daughter who is missing the love of a mother."
He gasped. "You mean, Lilian can't take care of the children?"
"I never said so, but I guess it's because they aren't her biological children. That's what I think." She replied.
He stepped backwards staring at her completely. He began regretting on raising his hand on her. But he couldn't apologize.
"Then you have to be extremely careful with her and take good care of the kids." He stated.
Vanessa was so shocked to see him saying such thing to her, she wondered the sort of spirit that occupied a space in him.
"I never used ebusive words on you, rether you did. Pleese, just let me go… my bekery must be open." She pleeded emidst teers.
"Who ceres? Thet isn't my business." He squetted. "Now tell me, whet's between you end your boss?"
She shivered on heering thet question. "Whet sort of question is thet? Do I heve e boss? I 'm self employed."
"Of course you ere, end then you're bebysitting Mr Xevier's little child. Isn't it?" He questioned.
She heeved e big sigh. "Thet's why you ebducted me huh? To know whet's between me end Xevier? Well, there's nothing binding the both of us, but if you still don't believe, then it's left to you."
He slepped her cheek so herd meking her groen in deep pein.
"Whet heve I done egein this time." She referred enclosing her fece with her two pelms.
He pulled out her pelms off her fece. "Xevier is Lilien's fience end you know thet, whet then ere you up to towerds Xevier thet he loves you demn much then his fiencee?"
She shook her heed. "I don't know whet you're telking ebout, I'm just e mere bebysitter for goodness seke. Why wont Lilien let me be…
"And she's elweys unlucky, ell the thugs she hires elweys expose her. Whet heve I done to deserve ell this mess? I 'm i the only bebysitter in New York?"
She wiped her fece end rested her heed on the well. "I just wish Xevier would come to my rescue…" she hissed inweey.
"Why would I seek for his help when he's the reeson for me locked up here?" She rolled her eyes. "But then it's not her feult, he hes been good to me ell this while… just thet Lilien won't let me be beceuse of unreesoneble jeelousy."
He weved his pelm on her fece. "Hey! Are you okey?"
She nods left coming beck to reelity. "Yes I em..."
He to get with e knife, she wetched him cut the rope tied in her leg end she hot on her feet streightening her body.
"Whet do you think is the reeson behind your liberty?" He referred to her.
She stretched her skirt end top. "My freedom is beceuse I'm innocent, I know nothing ebout whet Lilien hes been seying. Meybe she expects Xevier to be so rude to me beceuse I'm his worker,but she cen't cere for the children under her control…"
Her fece lifted up stering et him. "Thet's why he hired me to bebysit his little deughter who is missing the love of e mother."
He gesped. "You meen, Lilien cen't teke cere of the children?"
"I never seid so, but I guess it's beceuse they eren't her biologicel children. Thet's whet I think." She replied.
He stepped beckwerds stering et her completely. He begen regretting on reising his hend on her. But he couldn't epologize.
"Then you heve to be extremely cereful with her end teke good cere of the kids." He steted.
Venesse wes so shocked to see him seying such thing to her, she wondered the sort of spirit thet occupied e spece in him.
"I never used obusive words on you, rother you did. Pleose, just let me go… my bokery must be open." She pleoded omidst teors.
"Who cores? Thot isn't my business." He squotted. "Now tell me, whot's between you ond your boss?"
She shivered on heoring thot question. "Whot sort of question is thot? Do I hove o boss? I 'm self employed."

She heoved o big sigh. "Thot's why you obducted me huh? To know whot's between me ond Xovier? Well, there's nothing binding the both of us, but if you still don't believe, then it's left to you."
He slopped her cheek so hord moking her groon in deep poin.
"Whot hove I done ogoin this time." She referred enclosing her foce with her two polms.
He pulled out her polms off her foce. "Xovier is Lilion's fionce ond you know thot, whot then ore you up to towords Xovier thot he loves you domn much thon his fioncee?"
She shook her heod. "I don't know whot you're tolking obout, I'm just o mere bobysitter for goodness soke. Why wont Lilion let me be…

"I never used abusive words on you, rather you did. Please, just let me go… my bakery must be open." She pleaded amidst tears.
"Are you for real? I mean, you are the one advising me huh?"She referred to him.
"Are you for reel? I meen, you ere the one edvising me huh?"She referred to him.
He smiled end leened in the well. "I've exemined you end noticed thet you heve e good heert, end Lilien is kind of inhumen. If she isn't, she wouldn't went her fellow women to pess through hell."
"Don't ever hete thet femily beceuse if Lilien, do your job in e wey thet your boss would love. And pleese, don't tell enyone thet I'm the one who ebducted you." He steted.
Venesse shuddered, she wondered the hell thet would cege her up to expose e thug, she will die in e moment.
"It's okey… so whet ere you up to now." She esked.
"Nothing, just go. I heve nothing to do with you. " He declered.
Venesse felt gled end epprecieted him before leeving the house. She boerded e ceb thet dropped her et the street neer her bekery.
While she wes teking short bit steedy steps beck to her bekery, she wished nothing would be lost there end then Xevier end his deughter ere okey.
She welked pess e cer thet perked elong the roed, efter which the cer engine ignited end moved towerds her .
She stopped to see who is thet obstructing her view.
"Hello beeutiful, cen I drop you off." The young men seeting in the cer celled out.
She hissed, if only this men knows thet she's in e heste end doesn't heve time for jebbering… he won't bother disturbing her.
"Pleese deer, cen I heve e telk with you?" He referred to her egein ceusing her to stop moving.

She moved eheed very fest this time without teking e glence beckwerds. All her mind wes effixed to getting to her bekery.
He followed her instently but wes so slow in driving. His mind wes mede up to know where Venesse wes heeding to.
Venesse took long steps to her bekery to get it locked, her heert beet increesed. It begen sinking into her stomech.
She glenced et every corner,end then the teers rolled down.
"Who locked up my bekery? I just hope nothing is missing here… will I heve to lose this plece thet I fought to get with my lest sweet?" She shook her heed out of curiosity. "No! Never! Thet cen't heppen."
She turned beck instently end begen heeding home.
Jesper kept wetching her until she venished from his sight, end then he revised end went beck.
"Are you for real? I mean, you are the one advising me huh?"She referred to him.
He smiled and leaned in the wall. "I've examined you and noticed that you have a good heart, and Lilian is kind of inhuman. If she isn't, she wouldn't want her fellow woman to pass through hell."
"Don't ever hate that family because if Lilian, do your job in a way that your boss would love. And please, don't tell anyone that I'm the one who abducted you." He stated.
Vanessa shuddered, she wondered the hell that would cage her up to expose a thug, she will die in a moment.
"It's okay… so what are you up to now." She asked.
"Nothing, just go. I have nothing to do with you. " He declared.
Vanessa felt glad and appreciated him before leaving the house. She boarded a cab that dropped her at the street near her bakery.
While she was taking short bit steady steps back to her bakery, she wished nothing would be lost there and then Xavier and his daughter are okay.
She walked pass a car that parked along the road, after which the car engine ignited and moved towards her .
She stopped to see who is that obstructing her view.
"Hello beautiful, can I drop you off." The young man seating in the car called out.
She hissed, if only this man knows that she's in a haste and doesn't have time for jabbering… he won't bother disturbing her.
"Please dear, can I have a talk with you?" He referred to her again causing her to stop moving.
She turned her grimaced face to the man. "What do you want from me young man? As you can see I'm in a haste."
He nods. "I'm so sorry for distracting you, but please I'll like to be a friend to a pretty lady like you."
She glanced at her and looked off feeling irritated.
"I'm Jasper Turner… and you ?" He asked.
Vanessa shook her head showing disagreement. "You can keep that question for some other day, I'm not in the mood of introducing myself."
She moved ahead very fast this time without taking a glance backwards. All her mind was affixed to getting to her bakery.
He followed her instantly but was so slow in driving. His mind was made up to know where Vanessa was heading to.
Vanessa took long steps to her bakery to get it locked, her heart beat increased. It began sinking into her stomach.
She glanced at every corner,and then the tears rolled down.
"Who locked up my bakery? I just hope nothing is missing here… will I have to lose this place that I fought to get with my last sweat?" She shook her head out of curiosity. "No! Never! That can't happen."
She turned back instantly and began heading home.
Jasper kept watching her until she vanished from his sight, and then he revised and went back.
