Prologue
Hey, honey. Where are you? I'm on my way home. Just give me twenty minutes. Liar! You're a da*n liar! I have been following you for five straight days, Yuri. You're lying every time I check on you, b*****d. I will leave you and you won't dare hold me. I hate you", then she hung up.
I'm so fooled Yuri, after all this time, I've trusted you. I will never forgive you. She drove fast then crossed to the next corner and waited for Yuri's car to pass, then pulled on. She's here, she followed us for five straight days, we're done here. Leave my company at once and my wife and kids. If something bad happens to them, I'll k*** you all!. Get out! Get out!
I'm sorry Sir, you know this is not my fault. Tell them to stay away from my wife and kids. And keep yourself out of this or you will all be put in jail and make your life miserable. Get out, he's pushing her out of the car. When she was out, he said, Jenny," this is the last favor I will give you. Take your whole family away from my sight or they will all be buried in a grave. If they act now, I'm no longer in control. You know what I mean. Sir please, don't involve my family in this. Please, I beg you.
I have no choice. They blackmailed me. I don't know what to do. If you told me about it as early as possible, this would not have happened but you would have helped them instead. If I knew you were a leech, I would rather throw you in the street when you are in need. You should think that twice before you betrayed me. He then left, drove fast to reach Abbey on the road.
She cries a lot, almost losing air. She keeps on following him when she catches him red-handed. She even let her dad and mom see them cheating on her, even Bernard and Jonar. They saw what Yuri did. Her decision is final. She will leave him tonight. When she gets home, she goes straight to their room and packs their things, then puts them in the wardrobe. He called Jonar. Can we talk in the back? Okay, I'm here, Abbey what? I caught him and Jenny in her apartment. She burst into crying, sobbing a lot, the pain was irresistible. Why? Why. Why did he do that? He has lied to me since then. Okay, I understand, he can't console her because this is what they planned. When are you leaving? Tonight. Okay, don't tell mom and dad. Then she goes back to their room and takes all their important documents and puts them in her bag.
Yuri was at the office drinking. He was in agony but he needed to stick to the plan, let them go for their safety, but it stabbed his heart deeply.
After dinner, Abbey went back to their room. She prepared the twins' clothes and hers. She never talked to Yuri or to anybody in the house, she just exchanged glances with Jonar. She couldn't hold her tears, she laid on bed besides Yuri facing the other side she doesn't want Yuri to see her crying. When she felt Yuri's sound sleeping, she rose up and opened her computer. She messaged Yuge and let him know her plan.
Yuge, meet me at the Kernel. I can't handle the kids with me alone. I told Jonar to just drop us off there so you must pick us up.
Be sure to come in advance and don't show up. I won't wait long or else you will never see us anymore. Whoah we... wait okay fine Abbey. I'll be there in advance. Just don't go anywhere, okay! We leave here at 2 am. By 4 am, we were in Kernel. Okay fine, don't let Yuri know. I will call him as soon as we are on the way. Okay, take care. Thank you! Be strong. Okay, I will talk to Brother about what really happens, Okay bye!
When she gets back to bed, Yuri is awake looking at the ceiling. He couldn't say anything because if he did he would not let them go. He embraces her and starts kissing her passionately. Then Abbey gave in. He's baring her intimately, caressing every part of her. He will miss her so much. He made love to her thrice, memorizing every part of her. He will miss her so much. His fear of not knowing where they would go consumed his being. He's enraged, but he will not stop her from leaving. This is what Daniel tricked, to hurt him through his family and he would not allow them to involve his wife, not any one from his family, in their fight. Now that his wife is leaving, he will face him at all costs.
Yuge arrives at 3 am in the airport lobby. He asked JC to pick him up with their driver. He's in Kernel's condo at exactly 3:30 am. Just parked the car on the side, ten minutes later, he saw Jonar drop Abbey and the twins. Go to the lobby and quickly, yes Sir. He got out of the car and took Luke from Avvy's right arm and Lora to her left, took them into the car.
Ma'am, shall we open the suites? No, I'm leaving in a minute, alright ma'am, anything we can offer, uhm just three bottled water, yes ma'am just a minute please. Abbey. Let's go, yeah wait, I am here. Okay, if Yuri calls tell him we have already left, yes ma'am, I'll
help you with your luggage ma'am. Okay in that car, thank you. Get inside, okay, hold Lora. Let Luke lie down. Lets go. Where to Sir? Airport. Okay Sir.
Hey Abbey, are you alright? No I'm not. Put this on Luke's head, okay thank you. I will call mom. Yeah, go ahead. He's looking at her from the front mirror. He had no idea what was happening but he needed to help and protect them for his brother's sake.
Yuri never stops pacing back and forth, clutching his fist as soon as Abbey leaves. Even his dad and mom are worried-death. What am I going to do, dad? I don't even know where on earth they're going. Relax, son, call the Kernel and ask if they went there. Come on son, she knows what she's doing. For five days she kept on following you. She told us and we even went with her to Jenny's apartment. She has been making her plans all along. Calm down, let's wait for her call. Take it easy. Dad, I love her so much, yeah, we know that. He hugged Greg tight and cried on his shoulder. Dad, she's not well, she can't make it with the twins. She's strong. You know her very well.
Phone rang. Greg, Yuri, it's Abbey. Mom, Claire turned on the loud speaker. Abbey, where are you now? I'm fine mom, honey. I know your listening. I don't know what comes to your mind why you do this but please don't take Jenny to that house, especially in our bedroom. Get her her own house. I don't care where, just not there. That is mine please. I will call you back when we get to our place to stay. I love you so much. Take care of yourself please, daddy and mommy, we'll be fine. Don't worry about us, I'll take care of the twins. You take care, Abbey. Okay, did you take your medicines with you, Yes daddy, okay, call us back, promise, yes dad, Hang up.
Yuri burst into crying, sobbing and punching the wall hard. Son, please stop it, it won't help you. Call Jonar Claire. Jonar, where are you? Momma. I'm on the way back. Where are they? Yuri asked. I dropped them at Kernel, then Abbey told me to leave, so I left without complaining. Okay, I called them, he hung up. Good evening Sir Yuri, where's Abbey? Sir, they leave in a hurry. Ma'am Abbey told us if you were to ask, tell you that they had already left. Whose with them? I didn't see it Sir, just a white cadellac Sir waiting for them in the lobby, then left. okay, thank you.
Abbey, that's enough, you might collapse. He told the driver to pull over to the side, then he transferred onto the back seat, he consoled her, he put his arms around her shoulder and let her lean on him. I know how my brother is hurting right now. I can't imagine what happened, but after I settled you down, and the kids. I'll talk to my brother about this. Yeah thank you, don't mention it. Fixed yourself were near the airport. Let's go, yes Sir.
Dad, they left. Where did they go? Whose with them? Daddy, I'd go insane if I didn't know where they were going. She's not well. We know that and with the twins it's too risky for her. She can't do it alone. Did you give her money? Yeah, I put all her credit cards, ATM cards, all the currency and cash in her bag. She doesn't know. That's good enough. Okay, stop that and will you calm down for once, Yuri, he yelled! Greg, stop it. Okay, I'm sorry. Please son, she said she would call as soon as they reach the place where they will stay. Lets wait for her call. Okay, get some rest.
For the meantime, call Santillan first thing in the morning and send people to look at their place. And let Yuge know so he will plan what to do. He knows nothing about our plans, and explains to him how this got worse. He's more trained in these kinds of tactics and he knows whose people are able to do this job. Informed the headquarters, told them to locate and monitor Abbey's location and put in security measures. Calm down, get to work. Don't let Daniel Tan over power Yuri Lee Tanichi. They will be fine. Stand your ground or you may lose in this fight.
