Who Is The Real Boss?

Rupert fell silent.He opened the bedside table drawer, selected a cigar, and then lit it with a lighter.

As he sat and smoked, a cloud of smoke gathered around him.His expression was cold, and there was a touch of sadness in his frown.He continued to smoke until the cigar was entirely spent.

"Candy...She was with me when I was kidnapped as a child."

Kidnapped? Annabel frowned.

If she remembered correctly, Rupert had mentioned kidnapping several times before.

"Annabel, have you ever been kidnapped?"

At the time, Annabel had thought the questions were strange and rude.

But now, she wondered if he thought as Candy or a substitute for Candy.

Rupert's expression turned dark as he remembered what had happened when he was young.

"The kidnappers wanted me, and Candy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.We were locked up in a cabin somewhere.We spent a few days in the dark together."

"How did you escape?" Annabel asked in a voice that was deep with emotion.

For some reason, she wanted to know what Rupert and Candy shared.

Rupert's handsome face crumpled as he answered, "Candy fell off a cliff to save me."

He didn't want to recall the past.It was too painful.He had been powerless to save Candy.

All he could do was watch as she disappeared into the abyss.

Candy was never heard from again, but he hadn't given up hope that she had survived.He had been looking for her ever since but found nothing.

Annabel fell silent.

Rupert's past with Candy was more tragic than she had imagined.

Candy had fallen off a cliff to save him.

Maybe she was dead.
