Husband you've abandoned me. Fine, I'll focus on raising my son - Chapter 296: False hope

Chapter 296: False hope

“Yeah?” Louis encouraged me to go on.

” But Tony only drew himself, Marco, and Kolton. He didn’t draw Diana which I find interesting. Now, perhaps I’m overthinking it. Maybe he didn’t have enough time to draw everyone before he could hide the paper. However, if thats the case then he shouldn’t have finished the three drawings he drew together with the names. If he was interrupted wouldn’t there at least be the outline of the fourth figure. ”

“You think Diana isn’t with them?” Louis asked.

“I’m assuming Tony is drawing the people that are with him. He drew Marco and Kolton because thats who is with him. But we know Diana is a part of this conspiracy as well.”

Before suspecting Kolton, Keith and I suspected that Diana, Edward and his girlfriend were all working together. Louis and I more or less figured out what role Edward’s girlfriend played in this but where was Diana?

“It could that Tony didn’t think to draw her but I suppose we’ll find out when we get there,” Louis said.

“You’re right.”

ANTHONY’S POV

STILL IN BASEMENT PARALLEL TIMING WITH JASMINE’S ESCAPE

“We can’t give up yet,” I said to Marco when we woke up the following morning on the mat in the basement. We had failed to hook the rope to the window the previous night.

We got tired, gave up and went to sleep. I really thought it would be so much easier now that I had Marco to help me. The sleeping mat was small and we barely had enough space to sleep on it together.

“I know it was hard last night but we still have one more night okay?” I said to Marco. I was really trying too convince Marco not to give up because we had a hard time the night before. I had to keep him motivated so he could continue help me.

He sat up and leaned against the wall as he looked at me for a moment.

“I have to get out of here Marco,” I said to him.

“Relax, we’ll try again after breakfast,” he then said to me.

My face brightened up at that. He was still going to help me. Yes! Tonight was the last final night. Even if we managed to hook it during the day we could only leave at night when it was safe for us to move around outside.

We waited for breakfast to be delivered and then after eating we tried again. We did the same thing we did last night. We would take turns balancing on each others shoulders before the person on top tried hooking the rope to the window.

When we saw movement outside fromt the window we would immediately stop. Once we thought it was safe again we would resume.

We tried again and again trying to hook the rope. We were really having a hard time swing the rope with the right force and doing it without the person supporting the other on their shoulders not moving whilst throwing the rope.

We took another break when it was time for lunch. “I wish I could take a shower right now,” Marco said.

We sweating from all our efforts from the previous night and all morning. Unfortunately we couldn’t take a shower until we we were let out or escaped. Evening came before we had hooked the rope. I was strating to get worried because we were running out of time.

Later in the evening we had dinner and then prepared for another session of attempting to do it.

My heart was pounding in my chest now. If we got tired again we would have no choice but to give up. I didn’t know what uncle was going to do to me but it wasn’t good. I wouldn’t get another chance.

I was on Marco’s shoulders. I kept balancing and trying to hook the rope.

I missed again. One more time. “You can do it Tony come on!’ I told myself. the hook finally managed to land on the hook.

“We did it!” I said excitedly and my arms went up to celebrate. However, I moved too quickly and Marco stumbled.

“Be careful!” Marco warned me as he struggled to balance me.

“Woah!” i said in fear as Marco almost dropped me. He walked back as we balanced against the wall he caught himself and stopped

I got in the car and told the driver to head for Carrington’s house. I sighed as I looked out the window all Jasmine was doing was delaying and making our efforts to find Anthony more complicated.

When I bring her back things won’t be the same. All freedoms she had will be undone. It’ll all be over. She will watched at all times neither will she receive her phone. For the rest of the week she will be on total lockdown until I find Anthony. She will regret betraying me like this.

Precious time to find Anthony was being wasted by her selfishness. I couldn’t believe this.

I tried to be amicable with her! I didn’t force her. I gave her her phone back because I didn’t want her too feel too trapped. I was patient with her. I let her be angry and slap me. This time around I won’t be so forgiving and lenient. You’ll regret not accepting the conditions. To think she would be so stubborn.

My lips pressed together as the perfect life I had been visualising had fallen apart. I really thought I could do it and was getting closer to it. I thought Jasmine had put aside her anger and had developed feelings for me. That once we found Tony we would be a perfect family together. I could get my second chance

On the way I called one of my men who were on sight at Edward’s property to give them an update on my situation. I wanted them to continue working to find Anthony as I dealt with this jasmine situation.
