BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247 - Take Me To Him
\'\'Alright, let\'s have breakfast now. \'\' Tiana nodded and they went to the dining. After eating she followed him outside and waved him goodbye as he left.
The next day was his birthday, she didn\'t know what she would give him as a birthday gift; he had almost everything money could buy. She figured she would just bake a cake and organize a little party in the house with the workers and the guards for a surprise and get him his favorite perfume brand.
Tiana nodded to herself and went back into the house, she called the chef and told him her plans, thankfully there were cake items in the house and she accompanied him as they did the baking. She told him what to write on it and when they were done, it looked wonderful. They put it in the fridge, after which she cleaned up and went upstairs to order the perfume.
When she was done she logged in to WhatsApp and texted Nicklaus; it was past two, so she wanted to know what he was doing.
\'I\'m in a meeting now, will call you when I\'m done.\' Tiana stared at the text then she threw her phone across the bed. She was disturbed a while ago but seeing his text now, she knew he was safe.
She wanted to go get the decorations herself but it wasn\'t very safe now and she didn\'t want to trouble the guards to accompany her, so she sent the workers. After eating lunch, she lay on the bed, watching Netflix for a while before she fell asleep. She didn\'t know how long she slept but suddenly she flung up from the bed with a scream. She was sweating all over and her heart was beating fast.
Something was wrong…
Tiana looked around the bed in panic and she grabbed her phone immediately, there about five missed calls from Nicklaus, she quickly dialed his number, her hands shaky.
God… please pick up… please pick up…
Tears rolled down her eyes as she shook fervently, she felt something really bad has happened;
Sorry, the number you\'re trying to call is currently switched off…
Tiana panted heavily, no, this was not happening; he said he was going to be back early… he said he was going to be safe;
She stumbled up from her bed, dialing his number again.
"Please baby, I beg you, pick up your phone… \'\' She was already crying out loud, this was not happening, right? Nothing bad has happened, right?
Her throat felt dry and she quickly called grandma; she was not the best option to call right now but she didn\'t know what to do.
\'\'Grandma… \'\' Her voice quaked and she continued without pleasantries; \'\'I\'m trying to call Nicklaus but his phone is not reachable, do you know his whereabouts? \'\'
\'\'No dear, it\'s still past five, maybe he\'s in a meeting, that\'s why he\'s not picking up, just wait a few more minutes, then you can call him back, you know how busy work can get. \'\'
Tiana gulped and nodded; \'\'Yeah, okay; \'\' she said ended the call, slumping on the couch. Even when he was in a meeting, Nicklaus never missed her calls. They spoke about an hour ago and he said he was going to call her when he was done, but now his phone was switched off?
Tiana breathed in and out repeatedly to calm herself.
No, maybe the battery was low and got switched off. She was just overthinking, he was going to be back soon. She nodded to herself, standing up; she walked to the window and peeked outside; everywhere was quiet as though nothing was happening, so it was all good right?
Everything was good. Tiana nodded to herself, trying to be positive. Her eyes flashed on the television and she was tempted to put it on but she decided against it. She would just sit here and wait for him to walk through that door and tell her his battery died and he didn\'t have the time to charge it.
Tiana sat on the couch, staring at the clock fixedly, watching the time tick by, suddenly, she heard a ruckus downstairs and she jumped and quickly ran downstairs;
Her heart pounded when she saw a number of guards running out of the house;
\'\'What is going on? \'\' She asked, as she approached them, she wanted to look calm, but she couldn\'t hide the frightening look in her eyes. The guards paused in their steps as they turned to look at one another, as though contemplating on what to tell her.
\'\'Did you not hear me? I asked, what is going on? \'\'
Tears fell from her eyes as she watched them, even if they didn\'t want to tell her, the sad look on their faces already told her something bad had happened to him,
\'\'Ma\'am, Boss was in an accident.\'\'
Tiana froze at a spot as she stared at the men in front of her for a whole minute. They were afraid of how quiet she was.
\'\'take me to him… \'\' she said and started walking to the car. The guards cast worried look at themselves as pain-filled their eyes, none of them could bring themselves to tell her…
…
2 hours ago.
Nicklaus walked out of the company, his phone in his hand. He\'s been calling Tiana, but she was not picking. Putting his phone back into his pocket, he entered the car.
They had just gone a few meters when the driver started racing too fast. Nicklaus creased his brows and turned to him;
\'\'What\'s wrong? \'\'
\'\'Boss, I don\'t know, the brakes… they don\'t seem to be working and the car is accelerating on its own; \'\' the driver said in a panic as he tried avoiding hitting the cars in front of them. Nicklaus sat up on the seat immediately;
The car was indeed driving on its own, it was obvious that it had been hacked but their cars were guarded even in the garage, so how did it get hacked?
Nicklaus didn\'t want to be tensed, being tensed at that moment wasn\'t going to solve anything; he needed to concentrate;
\'\'Move to the passenger\'s seat! \'\'
