Chapter 7

Kelvin walked out of the room where he met the old maid standing just next to the door. She bowed her head a little and stood in front of him.

"Arrange for new clothes for her. And also make sure she has her breakfast. Dr Sammy will be here shortly."

"Yes boss."

He walked past her heading down the stairs where an univited guest was said to have been waiting for him. It was no new thing that whatever he does doesn't miss the eyes and ears of his old man.

"Where is she?"

Kelvin placed both hands into his pants pockets as he approached the older man sitting on a sofa. A strange aura filling the room. Their pair of blue orbs met in an unfriendly way.

"I have no idea of what you're talking about," He responded in a dry tone.

The old man rose up to his feet with a sharp glare directed at his grandson. "You and I know very well what this is all about Kelvin! Jessica almost lost her life yesterday and you never showed up at the hospital. She lost the baby!"

Kelvin didn't act surprised at the news. Infact neither he or Jessica wanted the baby she had lost and he found absolutely no reason to be next to a woman carrying another man's child.

"I'm running late. Is there anything else you have to say?"

Elder Sinclair stepped forward in a threatening stance, his brows furrowed and his eyes slightly widened at the response he got.

"She's your fiancee! Your wedding is coming up soon and you're -"

"I'm afraid there's not gonna be a wedding. Whatever deal you had with the Herring's has nothing to do with me. And also, you know how much I hate uninvited guests," Kelvin flashed a stiff smile at his grandfather before he stepped out of the living room.

Maya paced around the room in frustration. There was absolutely no way out of this room, there were guards stationed outside and she couldn't possibly jump out through the window because this was the second floor.

She might break a bone and die. The thought of dying terrified her.

"How do I reach Cameron? He must be so worried about me," She lamented taking a seat on the bed after a long while of pacing around.

There was a brief knock on the door which made her stand up to her feet in an instant. Maya tiptoed to the door and stood behind it. It opened afterwards.

She watched the maid from earlier step into the room with a tray in her hands. The maid placed the tray on the bed and scanned the room in search of Maya.

"She's gone!"

Immediately, the floor vibrated as a few numbers of the guards stationed outside rushed in at the maid's scream. Suddenly, they heard the door close behind them followed by a click.

Maya pounded the door with her fist. A victorious smile at the corner of her lips at her brilliant move.

"Serves you all right! That's what you get for locking me up in there! And also tell your boss that he should get a life! His arrogance won't take him anywhere!" She ran her fingers through her hair and turned around to leave.

But, a sudden collision with a body made her halt her step. She bumped her head hard on a chest and that was the moment she perceived the familiar cologne from a certain someone.

"Going somewhere?"

Maya swallowed. She raised her head slowly to meet his eyes which was filled with nothing but mockery. Her eyes darted around where nobody but them stood. His guards were all locked up inside the room and it gave her the next idea.

She made an attempt to run but was caught back effortlessly by Kelvin who already predicted her next move.

"Let me go! How long do you think you can keep me locked up?!"

Kelvin ignored her tantrums and swiped her off her feet taking her away with him. He didn't bother to open the door for his guards because they indeed deserved to be locked up in there.

If Maya could fool them that way, that means her chance of escaping just rose up from zero percent to fifty percent. If he hadn't gotten here on time, who knew how far she would have gone?

"Ah it hurts! Gently," Cameron complained moving back from the lady attending to his bruises. He looked really battered and was in a bad state.

Half of his face was covered with bruises and his eye bags turned purple due to a hit right on his eyes.

"You look awful right now Cameron. You need a doctor and also painkillers," Shelly murmured dabbing the cotton swab on a particular spot on his chin.

She dropped the bloody swab on the table next to a few others and faced him with a worried face. "Who did this to you? You look almost dead."

"Now isn't the time to remind me of all that Shelly! I'm in serious pains!" Cameron yelled and stood up to his feet only to wince in pain holding the side of his belly.

"Well..you're in my house and I demand to know what happened. It was almost impossible to get you a bail but I had to convince my dad to do so and you dare give me an attitude?"

A knock fell on the door gaining their attention, an older lady stepped in with a smile on her face but as soon as her eyes fell on Cameron she twitched her face into a worried look.

"Goodness! What happened to you Cameron? Did you get into a street fight?"

Cameron clenched his teeth in anger. How could he tell them that a fellow man like him inflicted these bruises on him? He'd surely lose face before them.

Kelvin Sinclair stopped at nothing to deal with him and after that, he sent him to the police station where he received more beatings. Thankfully, he didn't lose his life. And according to what he heard from a friend, Maya was currently with him.
