MISTAKE 139

Chapter 139: A back and forth

Anya's mind raced. "Danger? What kind of danger? Where's Daniel?"

Corvino shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I don't have all the details. What I do know is that we need to move quickly. Is your daughter here?"

"She's upstairs," Anya said, still not sure if to trust him. She had guards. Why did she have to leave and with Henry too? "But we're not going anywhere until I speak to my husband." For a moment, Corvino looked like he might argue, but then he nodded. "Of course. Please make the call. But I urge you to be quick about it.

With trembling fingers, Anya pulled out her cell phone and dialed Daniel's private number. Each ring seemed to last an eternity until finally, his gruff voice came through the speaker. "Baby? Are you okay?"

The familiar sound of his voice calmed her down. "Daniel, there are men here. They say they're from Justin and that we're in danger. They want to take us away."

There was a beat of sounds of people talking on the other end, and then Daniel's voice came back, tight with tension. "Listen to me carefully, baby. You need to go with them. Take Henry and leave first. Don't ask questions; just go. Do you understand?" "Daniel, what's happening? Where are you? Is it the president?"

"There's no time to explain; they will bring you to me," he said.

The line went dead, leaving Anya staring at her phone in shock. She looked up at Corvino, who was watching her intently.

"Well?" he asked.

Anya took a deep breath, steeling herself. "We'll go with you. But I need to get my daughter."

Corvino nodded, visibly relieved. "Of course. But please, be quick about it. We don't have much time."

The next few minutes passed in a blur. Anya called for Henry, trying to keep her voice steady as she explained that they were going on a surprise trip.

The little was becoming harder to deceive each day, so it took a while to have him follow. Anyal had not thought of packing at first, but Henry kept asking about their luggage, so she did.

As Anya threw some clothes randomly into a bag, her mind whirled with questions. But unlike when she was ignorant, a lot of her questions had answers now.

She could guess that the president was trying to get to her. Whoever got to her got to Daniel. She had come to understand that now.
