THE CEO AND ME! Chapter 56 - I FLINCHED BACK!!!!

I waited outside the hall in the back corridor waiting for any sign of Madison.

She did tell that she found Tinsley in the backside as I predicted it in the office.

I could only hope that Tinsley was fine and fed and in a good condition and that Madison would give her the news of coming to rescue her sooner.

"I rember you playing around that garden all day. "

I turned around to see Valeria standing

with a smile on her face and two cups of coffee on her hand.

She walked forward and handed one cup of coffee. I smiled back sipping from the cup.

"Your childhood filled my void of not having any children of my own."

She said, looking down. I could relate that she was grieving and she always did for that fact in particular.

Perhaps that was why she was so possesive about . She was always afraid that I would turn to grow apart from her.

And I always tried to reassure her that I was not going anywhere. Her constant need to control my life was annoying and irritating but I never let her have any objections against it.

I never over crossed her in any situation whether she was right or wrong. I always took her side.

I was grateful for what she did for , raising as her own. Taking in when I turned an orphaned and had no one.

I could recall a few days just after I heard the death of my mother in the orphanage, how cruel and heartless people were to make fun of that.

How much lonely and clueless I felt at that point of my life. I had no one waiting for and that could be scary for anyone.

It was then Valeria who ca to my rescue. Gave shelter, food, clothing and the love of a parent.

I would be always grateful to her for that. I could never repay her back of what she did to .

What she felt for , I felt the sa way for Tinsley. Knowing she had no one anymore, I could feel that.

When I saw her at the party for the first ti with the most beautiful smile I had ever laid my eyes upon and after the party, that smile was nowhere on her face...I had seen the devastated look on her that was so hurtful and aching to look at.

It reminded of myself and that was the pull I felt for her...to save her, give protection.

I never knew that we would be connected in the past and I would warm up to her touch.

It was strange at first and I tried to avoid it but then I realized that ignoring these feelings would cost nothing but frustrations.

So this ti, if it ant to cross Valeria, it would only be because she gave no choice in it.

I did tell her that I would go to every and any length to ensure the protection and safety of Tinsley, be it giving up on my own life and freedom...that much I was duped into her.

"You do know that I love you right?? Kian. And that everything I had done or will be doing is because of your safety and protection."

Valeria implored, staring deep into my eyes. There was a mont of silence and I did not know how to reply to that.

Maybe this ti whatever she thought was doing right by was not right at all. She thought it was but it was not.

I just gave her a minimal nod and looked away. The conversation was getting awkward and I did not know why she was bringing such things up.

"That's all that matters that you know...Over with the talk. Let's go and eat."

She let out, pulling inside. I followed her, giving one last glance at the backyard with no sign of Madison at all.

Madison's P.O.V

I sneaked out of the huge Wilson's garage after the guard parked the car inside it.

It was dark in here and made my way to the backside of the mansion. I knew my way around this place quite well.

I had visited it nurous tis so I volunteered myself to look out for Tinsley...wherever they had held her captive.

Once inside, the guards were quite fewer. Valeria did not like them inside. A few maids and staff working but not all together. So most of the spaces were empty giving a chance to walk around smoothly.

I was dressed in the disguise of a maid so walking around was not difficult. I followed Kian's direction and climbed downstairs to the basent.

He told that it was the most secretive place of the entire mansion. Often he would sneak here whenever he wanted to avoid the outside world.

So no wonder that would be the place where Valeria would also keep soone out of the touch of the outside world.

And when I reached the bottom, I prayed for no guards to be around and luckily there was none.

Perhaps Valeria had a very tight guarding system in the boundary so she did not think of keeping it inside. It made sense, there was no way out without being caught.

There were several rooms and I walked inside each one of them. They were all dark and seed like nobody ca down to check inside very often.

Lots of wooden boxes, old antique staff were stuffed in. Selling those pieces would give millions in the market.

At one point I thought maybe she had not kept Tinsley here as I had checked in almost all of the rooms and the last two were only left.

I was having difficulty in breathing as there was no ventilation system down here, no window or open space.

I ca down to the last room and prayed that this was it. And as if God had heard my prayer...when the door opened, the sight before made flinch back.
