Part twenty one

Michy's POV

I had to see her, I really had to. After hearing what happened on Saturday, I felt the need to see her face even if it was just from a distance. I was happy as long as I saw for myself if she was perfectly okay like Alex had informed me.

Indeed she was but not perfectly, I went to her house that Saturday after my angry steam had blown off, only to see her crying. She looked grief stricken and that made my heart fall to be honest, I knew beyond doubt those Winchesters had caused it, particularly the Mrs.

I could feel her pain and it gives me more reasons to take her away from the house as soon as possible. Only, I don't know how I'm going to do that without making my intentions known to Monae.

Taking her from the house will be a great relief for not only them but Monae and I'm willing to do anything to make sure of that.

But for the time being, I have my men watching her every hour of the day to make sure she's okay and so when I was told she was at that ice cream shop near Winchester Mining, I went there to see her, making it look like a coincidence but I knew she didn't believe me after telling her my tale.

I had a great time with her, sitting there and making conversations felt so much like the first time we met, only, this was longer and intense.

Although I want us to meet and hangout more times, I'll have to make do with texting her. Her school schedules and my workload at the office won't make it possible.

So we've been texting for some days now and it's pretty cool. Monae is in fact a funny person, it was weird because all this while, I pictured her as a feisty, strict and reserved person who knows no humour and she has gradually changed my perception about her.

It was cute seeing her blush at the least compliment, physical contact and intense stare back at the ice cream shop. She mostly couldn't hold my gaze and make conversations because of her shyness, I've realised in the course of our daily chatting, she has warmed up to me and even initiates conversations like this morning.

She sent me a good morning text which brought a smile to my face, I stared at the message smiling sheepishly and wondering all the while how it would feel like having her with me and waking up beside her each and every morning.

However, I'm worried. I sent a text to her three ago, I've gotten no reply from her since then and that is so unlike her. It hasn't been a long time since we stared this texting thing but every time we do for this short while, Monae replies back quickly, so this feels kinda strange.

And this uneasy feeling I'm having right now isn't helping matters. I feel within something must have happened or is happening that is preventing her from texting back and reaching out to me.

I picked my phone from beside me on the bed, unlocking it and checked my inbox for the umpteenth time since this afternoon, to see if she had replied.

And I felt bad, there was none. I had to talk to her or message her, there's something I wanna tell her.

Instead of putting the phone down, I exit my inbox and go on Instagram. We follow each other and have chatted there a couple of times, maybe I can reach out to her there, who knows.

Going to my direct messages, I tapped on Moane's and her last seen was yesterday, around 10pm. That means she hasn't been online today and looking at the time on my phone, it's 10:45pm, it doesn't look like she will be coming here, she just be asleep by now.

I want to call her and I don't want to ruin her sleep either. Sighing, I pressed the end button and tossed the phone on the bed.

Something isn't right here and I feel it, only I don't know what is it but it has to do with the lady of my dreams, Monae.

I took off the tank top singlet I was wearing with the sweatpants, I'm going to take a warm shower, it always sets me at ease and calms my nerves when I'm stressed or tensed like I am now.

I went into the bathroom and prepared the bath. I allowed the warm water to flow on my body, closing my eyes, I felt it calm me down a bit. In the middle of the shower, I heard my phone ring yet I ignored it.

Whoever he or she is gotta wait. It rang again and this time, I turned off the shower thinking it must be Monae calling, since we haven't done that today.

I grabbed a towel from the rack and hurriedly left to the bedroom, the phone still ringing. I picked it up, the caller wasn't Monae but Alex. Why is he calling me at this time of the night?

"Boss, we have a problem."

When is there never a problem in this world?

"Can't you take care of it? I have to catch some sleep before my flight tomorrow." Why do I pay this guy anyway? When I end up doing his work by solving problems like he should?

"It's Monae Bo—"

Hearing her name stopped me from scolding him, I cut him off immediately.

"What's with her? Tell me and fast!"

"She has been thrown out of the house. One of the security personnels at their house is a very good friend of mine and he called to inform me of the latest development."

"Why was she thrown out by this time of the night, couldn't they wait till morning?"

What better reason do they have to do that to her by this time when world is more dangerous than ever? What is wrong with these ruthless people? Have they no sympathy for her, couldn't they wait till morning? What grave crime did she commit to warrant such a cruelty?

"Boss I think she has been framed, he said something about she stealing from them and they even called the cops, I don't know what happened and she was rather thrown out."

Why I'm I not surprised hearing that? Framing and breaking people is what they are good at, it's their speciality! But calling the cops and later throwing her out, man that's relentlessly malevolent and I promise them, they're going to pay, forget vengeance is the Lord's, I will do something!

"So where is she now? Where is she!!? I asked, balling my fingers into a fist. They had better not thrown her out of the estate too or what is going to come at them is twice the intensity of what they have done to her.

"Hans is keeping her company without her knowing at the entrance of the estate—"

Hans with Monae? I don't trust that guy and especially not with my girl, that guy thinks with his dick, what was Alex thinking!? "I trust her safety better with you than Hans, Alex! Meet me there in ten minutes or you're done for."

I hastily hanged up the call, my body was till wet from the shower but that wasn't my problem. The love of my life is out there and not even catching cold will stop me from going to her without drying my body.

Getting into my previous clothing, I grabbed my car keys and rushed out the bedroom, into the elevator because I was in a hurry and went into the garage.

I got into the car and drove away at a top speed. I was driven by anger and increased distaste for those people, once again, they have managed to have their way and hurt my heart. Just the thought of it sends my blood boiling in rage,I bang my clenched fist on the steering wheel. I despise them!

I arrived at the entrance of the estate in less than ten minutes, given the rate of the speed at which I drove. The guys let me through without any questioning, I've been here more than I can count and they know me here in New York too as a very reputable business man who's life is scandal less.

I pulled up beside the gate, getting out of the car. I rushed over to where they were and inquired, "where's the girl?"

"She's over there with two of your men Mr Krupp." The chief guard replied, pointing to the sitting area.

I immediately spotted Alex sitting beside Monae who was crouched on the bench in the sitting area, I couldn't get a glimpse of her face, she has covered it with her hands but I did see her chest heaving, indicating she was crying and Alex was looking at her in worry. Only that jerk of a guy, Hans was standing behind her and staring at her lustfully, he licked his lips and widen his eyes when he caught me looking at him.

I nodded my head at the chief, making my way to the sitting area. Alex instantly sensed my presence and got up from his seat. With his hands behind his back, showing respect to me, he said lowly, "she keeps crying and I don't know what to do Boss so I allowed her cry."

He said before I reprimanded him for making her cry when he should have made her stop. I understood him, he wasn't a stone hearted person, he was just someone who didn't know how to show affection and especially towards women.

"I understand, don't worry." I told him, squeezing his shoulder.

Monae must have heard my voice, she brought her hands away from her face and turned to look at me in surprise. "Michele?"

I looked at Alex and gestures towards the security post with my eyes. He understood and did same to Hans, together, they both left Monae and I alone. I could have talked in their presence but I don't know for Monae, what she needs now is someone she can trust and she only met them today though Alex saved her.

I was at lost as to what to do, I didn't know if I should smile in acknowledgment to my name being called or just nod. I only nodded, walking closer to her and sitting beside her on the bench.

She has rising from lying down, that was when I realised she was in a pale blue night dress, a little bit short one too. So that was why that jerk was staring at her and licking her lips.

I couldn't blame her, Monae must have been getting ready for bed before everything happened. She flung her arms around me the minute I sat down, "finally." I heard her whisper lowly to herself before resuming her sobbing.

I badly wanted to comfort her but I didn't know what to do. I slowly rested my hand on her back then rubbed her back, that was the closet thing I knew to comforting someone who was crying. "It's okay Monae, everything is fine now, don't cry anymore."

********************************************

Finally, Monae has left the Winchester household for good? Yeah, looking at Michy, I don't think he will ever allow her to go back, not only because of his personal dislike towards them but what they've just done to her.

This brings us to the question, what really happened for her to get thrown out of the house?

Should the best chapter unveil it? Or two chapters more?🐣
