Chapter 24: Retrieving my child

Chapter 24: Retrieving my child

Imogen closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep.

“I can’t see her. I can’t see her. I can’t see her,” she repeated to herself.

But her trembling body betrayed her true emotions.

The man’s footsteps drew nearer and nearer, approaching the bed.

Imogen’s heart pounded in her throat.

Suddenly, she felt a chill, and the blanket was pulled off her.

Imogen froze in fear, keeping her eyes shut tight and her legs straight. She told herself, “I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping.”

As long as she couldn’t see his face, he wouldn’t harm her.

The man whispered in her ear, “I know you’re awake. Open your eyes and look at me, or I’ll rape you and then kill you.”

Her mind went blank, and she opened her eyes in terror, shaking and pleading, “I’m awake, please don’t kill me.”

When she saw the man’s face halfway through, she recognized him – it was Troy.

Imogen’s face froze, showing a mix of fear, confusion, and awkwardness.

She had forgotten that Troy was still at home and that the house was secure, so no intruder could have entered.

“Why did you come over?” Imogen averted her gaze and blinked.

“It’s thundering outside, and I thought you might have trouble sleeping.”

He didn’t know that Director Imogen, who seemed tough and determined, was afraid of thunder after they got married.

Imogen pursed her lips and replied, “I’m not having trouble sleeping.”

“Really? Oh.”

“Really,” Imogen insisted.

“I’ll leave then.” Troy made a gesture and got up from the bed.

Imogen’s eyes widened, but she didn’t say anything.

She turned over, curling up and muttering in a low voice, “As you wish.”

She heard footsteps leaving, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.
