Chapter 67

“Rosalie..”
“Rosalie!!!!” Tyler called in fear as he heard her screaming and struggling.
“Leonard.” He finally heard her say before the call was disconnected.
He called her again but the call went straight to voicemail. He tried again and again but it was still the same result.
His heart couldn’t stop beating fast as different scenarios of what might have happened started playing in his head.
“Who would dare to attack my woman?!?!” He asked himself angrily.
He couldn’t take the anger anymore so he smashed a vase on the wall. A splinter pierced his leg but he didn’t care. He had more things to worry about.
The sound of the smashed vase attracted Mrs. Hermsworth so she rushed to his room. When she saw him bleeding, she panicked.
“What happened in here??” She asked taking cautious steps towards him so she wouldn’t be injured by the broken vase.
“Something bad has happened to Rosalie.” Tyler said as fear flashed through his face for a split moment.
“What do you mean by that???” Mrs. Hermsworth asked in surprise.
“I called her just now and she told me that she was on her way… Suddenly, I heard a gunshot and she screamed..” Mrs. Hermsworth covered her mouth in shock as she listened to Tyler’s explanation.
“I asked her what was wrong and she said they were under attack. Then she said a name… Leonard before the call was cut off.” Tyler said in a panicked state.
“Oh my God.. I hope she’s alright?” Mrs. Hermsworth asked.
“I don’t know mum. I’ve been trying to call her but she isn’t picking her calls. I think she has been kidnapped.” Tyler croaked out as he blinked his alreasy glassy eyes.
“But.. who would dare kidnap her, from what I know, her step mother is dead and her father is in prison. Wait, is it her step sister??” Mrs
Hermsworth asked.
“I don’t think so. Right before the call was disconnected, she mentioned a name..” Tyler muttered.
“Yes yes, I remember…. Leonard.” Mrs. Hermsworth said.
“Yeah, it’s a guy’s name and it seems like she’s familiar with that guy.” Tyler said.
“Do you know him??” Mrs. Hermsworth asked.
“No. Let me ask Jasmine, she should know him.” Tyler said and brought out his phone.
“Who’s Jasmine??” Mrs. Hermsworth asked in curiousity.
“A friend of Rosalie.” Tyler muttered and dailed Carl’s number. He picked up at the first ring.
“What’s up??” Carl’s cheerful voice could be heard.
“I’m fine. Is Jasmine and Alex there with you??” He asked.
“Uhm yeah. What’s wrong??” Carl asked when he noticed that Tyler’s tone was moody.
“Just give the phone to Jasmine. I’ll explain later.” Tyler said.
“Okay.” Carl muttered and gave the phone to Jasmine.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Hello. Is everything alright?” Jasmine asked worriedly.
“No….. I wanted to ask a question.” Tyler said.
“Shoot..”
“Do you know any Leonard??” Tyler asked.
“Uhm yes.” Jasmine replied.
“Who is he to Rosalie??” Tyler asked again.
“A friend? What’s with all the questions Tyler?? Did something happen??” Jasmine asked in fear as she thinks Leonard might have gone to J city to cause a scene.
“Do you have a picture of him?” Tyler asked instead.
“Yes. I’ll send it to you.” Jasmine said and ended the call.
Few minutes later, his phone beeped indicating he wss sent a message. He clicked on the message and was very shocked to see who it was.
“Let me see.” Mrs. Hermsworth said when she noticed his blazing eyes.
Her eyes widened when she saw the picture.
“Isn’t this…”
“Francis.” Tyler said in anger.
***********************************
Rosalie’s eyes finally fluttered open. The first thing she noticed was that she was in a very beautifully decorated large room.
A type of room that was befitting for a queen. It was decorated in pink and silver. The room screamed wealth.
She assessed herself and noticed that someone had changed her clothes. She was now claded in a very short floral gown.
She tried to stand up, but that was when she noticed her hands were chained upwards to the bed. She struggled hard but wasn’t able to free herself.
That was when she recalled that she had been kidnapped. Her heart thumped against her chest repeated.
Fear was beginning to resurface in her emotions.
The door to the room was suddenly open and a tall man entered the room. Her eyes widened when she finally saw his face.
“Leonard..” She called in shock.
Leonard smiled when he heard her call him and took long strides towards her.
He bent towards her till their faces were almost touching and stroked her face happily.
“What am I doing here Leonard? Why did you kidnap me??” She asked angrily.
“You should mind the way you talk to me since you’re under my custody now.” He said angrily as he pinched her chin.
Her beautiful face scrunched in pain aa a reaction to his hold on her. That made him smile the more.
“My dear Rosalie. I missed you so much.” He muttered as he placed a peck at the corner of her lips while she whimpered in fear.
