Chapter 89- Heartbeats

Michelle didn’t move in with Tessa and her family despite how insistent Tessa was. Even though the penthouse was quiet and lonely, she wanted to live there and wait for her husband.

She didn’t want him to find an empty house when he returned.

The days went by and her nausea was reducing. She swore she could already see a tiny bump on her belly. Deep down, she wished she could experience her pregnancy with her husband. She missed him so much.

She was in her office when she suddenly felt thirsty and decided to grab herself a drink. However, when she opened the door, she came face to face with two military personnel.

Right there and then, a bad feeling crept into her. Her stomach twisted and turned and her mind reeled with thoughts..

‘Why are these men here?’

‘Are they looking for Graham?’

‘Did something bad happen to him?”

She didn’t mean to think of anything bad, however, Graham’s quietness had worried her.

Her fears came true when one of the military men told her that they had lost contact with Graham and he was feared dead.

Her eyes widened into saucers. She stuttered as she asked, “What do you mean you lost contact with him? What does that entail?”

“He may have been captured by terrorists and there’s a possibility of him being killed. We are here to tell you to prepare yourself for any outcome,” one of the military men announced.

Alarm bells went off in Michelle’s mind. Her heart clenched and suddenly, she rolled her eyes to the back of her head, falling backwards.

“Michelle!”

Tessa squeaked and reached out for Michelle. The military men also acted out of instinct and prevented her fall.

“She’s fainted! Let’s take her to the hospital!” Tessa screamed.

Her screaming attracted the employees in the company. While Lisa, her assistant quickly took out her phone to call an ambulance, Celia rushed over, her eyes becoming rounder.

“What happened? Let me do first aid as we wait for the ambulance,” she offered.

Michelle was lay down on the floor where Cella checked her breathing and performed CPR.

However, she did not come to. So, when the ambulance arrived, Tessa left Celia in charge of the company and hopped into the ambulance.

A few minutes later, they arrived and Michelle was rushed into the emergency room. As Tessa remained outside, she called Aaron and informed him, “Babe, Michelle collapsed! Graham is missing.”

“What?!” Aaron’s deep voice could be heard on the phone.
