The missing heiress
1161 Words
Hailey tries to rest her head on the bed, then she falls asleep. She still feels very weak, and she tries to make herself comfortable while she allows the painkillers she had taken to do their work.
She jerks up to the sound of her phone ringing. This time it was Chloe, Hailey's best friend.
She called to ask Hailey about the previous night.
“Hey babes, what's popping” Chloe said with a cheerful voice, but Hailey wasn't in the mood to talk.
“Hey girl.” Hailey said weakly. She just really wanted to recover from the hangover.
“Am sorry I left in a hurry last night. I had an urgent call from my aunt. I had to leave. So you wanna gist with me about last night?” Chloe asked excitedly.
Hailey was too weak to talk about anything, especially what had happened between her and her bodyguard. She reassured Chloe that she was gonna call back immediately when she felt okay.
Chloe reluctantly agrees and ends the call, but Hailey can't go back to sleep.
She kept thinking about the previous night. “He did say I kissed him”, Hailey thought to herself. I wish I could remember what had happened, so I would know if he was a good kisser, she said and smiled.
The thought of being romantically inclined to any man scared Hailey because of her past relationships, so she doesn't get attached to men. The only thing she does normally is a one-night stand.
In the evening, Hailey dressed up looking beautifully.
She adorned herself with golden accessories and wore a red crop top and a black mini leather skirt. She carried a tiny black purse covered with glittering stones.
Her flowing ginger hair really complemented her beautiful blue eyes.
Her phone rang and she immediately picked up. It was Chloe.
“hey babes where you at?” Chloe asked Hailey on the phone.
“I'll be with you in a jiffy I'm kinda waiting for my bodyguard to get the car ready” Hailey replied.
Chloe is upset as she has been waiting for Hailey at their usual bar.
Immediately the phone call ended, Hailey informed Tyler that she was going out to see her friend, and he should get the car ready within five minutes.
Tyler moved immediately to the car park and did as he was instructed. Hailey has never asked him to accompany her as it is his job to protect her and follow her anywhere, and everywhere she's going.
Within five minutes, Tyler immediately informed her that the car was ready.
Getting to the bar, Tyler sees a man taking pictures of Hailey and Tyler tries to attack the man, but he quickly runs away. He ran after the man and caught up with him. He held the man by the neck. He snatched the camera from him and smashed it to the ground. Before he was done, the man had run away with no trace.
Tyler searched around to see if he could find the man, but he didn't, so he returned to Hailey's house but he couldn't find her.
Worried, Tyler immediately calls the police to report a case of a missing person.
He couldn't call her father because he knew that would make him look unprofessional, so he proceeded to check the whole premises but couldn't find Hailey.
He then decided to go home and check if she had come home. He was told by the maids that she hadn't returned home since they left for the bar.
Hailey was in a hotel having fun. While Tyler was in pursuit of the cameraman, Hailey had seen a handsome stranger at the bar.
“Hi I'm Nelson'' the handsome stranger said, walking up to where Chloe and Hailey were seated. Chloe thought he was talking to her, so she extended her hand for a handshake and quickly responded with a broad smile “Hello, I'm Chloe”. But to her dismay, he was actually talking to Hailey.
He shook her hands, smiled politely and turned to Hailey.
“Hi gorgeous, my God, you are breathtaking”, Nelson said to Hailey, extending his hands for a handshake.
Hailey reluctantly shook his hands and rolled her eyes “Yes I know”. She said boastfully.
“Can we go somewhere private and talk better ?” Nelson asked Hailey.
Hailey had just got to the bar, and she hadn't taken enough shots yet, so she declined.
Nelson realizes this and orders rounds of shots on him.
They all drank in stupor.
Hailey raised her head up from the table and saw a man in the midst of his friends smiling mischievously at her.
She was very drunk and her eyes was blurry.
She looked at the slim handsome stranger who was staring at her.
His gaze was fixated on her. He didn't move and inch neither did he blink.
This made Hailey so uncomfortable. She stared back at the stranger.
Damn he was so familiar.
She was too drunk to make out who that was.
She was about to move towards the table where the stranger was sitting with his friends but something held her back.
Her feet felt too heavy to move.
She held Nelson and they both laughed hysterically.
She took another shot and her eyes locked with the stranger's.
She was ice cold as she saw the face clearly.
She finally remembered where she knew him from. The thought of this stranger sent cold shivers down her spine.
She looked around for Tyler but he was no where to be found
Out of fear, she held Nelson with a tight fist.
“damn girl I see you want me so back.” Nelson said with a loud tone.
Him and Chloe were busy having the best time of their lives not knowing that Hailey was in danger.
Hailey drew Nelson closer and whispered to his ears.
“can we continue this in my hotel room?” Hailey said to Nelson.
“i didn't know you this forward. I love forward girls I mean I love girls who knows what they want” Nelson replied with a loud laughter
Nelson and Hailey decided to take the rest of the conversation to the hotel.
On their way to the hotel, the stranger from the bar and his friends kept trailing them.
They entered Nelson's car and drove off to a five star hotel. On their way to the hotel Hailey kept looking at the rare view mirror. She saw a white van steadily moving behind them.
Hailey was extremely frightened.
She kept wondering where Tyler was and why Tyler would leave her unprotected just like that.
In search for Hailey, Tyler became extremely worried and decided to go back to the bar that night to check their security footage.
Getting there, it was already late, and the bar had been closed.
