A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 34

NATALIE's POV.

"I can explain." I say, as I try to hold my balance. This was it. This was what I feared would happen. He makes his way into the room, but I am unable to make out the expression on his face, heck I can't even look at him. Aunt Ruth is by the corner, shivering with fear.

"I wanted to tell—

"I'm sorry for bringing it here, but it belongs to me, I have a gunroom and there's a bit of a situation, but I've got it handled." He says and I look in confusion. What was he talking about?

"What situation?"

"There's no cause for panic, everything's under control. I've doubled the security."

"What's going on, Luke?"

"Bart's on the run." He says. In a split second, I'm engulfed in fear as horrible memories come flooding back. "His first instinct would probably be to return here."

I gasp, shocked, losing my balance. Luke grabs me on time and helps me sit on the bed. I had forced myself to not think or talk about the incident with Bart because if I did, Luke would find out about how I wanted to run away and that was the last thing I wanted. "He's coming for me, my baby?" I ask, grasping into Luke's arm as though that was my only chance at living. "That man is insane! I've done nothing to him." I state, panicking.

"That's why I brought this." Luke says as he shows me the gun. I look at it, afraid, as bile rises up to my throat. I hold it in. "I've doubled the security, so there's no chance of him getting to you, however, I don't want to take chances so I have to. I'll drop it in the first drawer." He says as he gestures to the side drawer. In a split second, I'm sprinting to the bathroom. I begin to throw up in the sink and I can sense Luke and Aunt Ruth rush in. I can tell Luke is panicking as he holds my waist and left hand. I was glad that Rocky didn't reveal our secret to Luke, but I was too lost in my thoughts, remembering how I suffered in Bart's captivity. I still couldn't place my hands on why he abducted me. I suspected Luke knew and refused to give me details about it. I cough, using the tap water to rinse my mouth and face.
