Chasing After My Wife Chapter 46
Advertisement
Jillyanna arrived at the place where she visited just a week ago. Her feelings were complicated but one thing was sure. Travis won't harm her for a moment. It's possible that he wanted to get her child before getting rid of her, so Jillyanna wanted to escape before that happens.
Travis followed her to the room with the best view, the same room that Jillyanna entered before. "Travis, why don't you just give up on us? I can't really see myself being with you."
"What about our child?"
"What about MY child?" she gave emphasis to ownership to put a stake on her claim, "My child will grow up with me."
"You don't want me to father our child?" Travis asked with a dull pain pricking his heart. He couldn't imagine a life without her.
"I'm sorry. It's just...Things right now are messy. Can we talk tomorrow? I am tired. I want to be alone and think this through." she sat on the bed with tired and confused expression.
'I am just as good as you in acting!' Jillyanna commented in her heart. She had her mind fixed with the idea that Travis was just acting.
Left with no other choice, Travis left her alone inside her room. He went back to work after leaving Savannah with her. He can't afford to let her go.
"Whatever she wants, as long as it's good, just ask someone to get it for her. If she wants to go somewhere, make sure to accompany her. Make sure to put someone patrol the area below her balcony, that's where she escaped last time." Savannah smiled while listening to him give instructions. It was clear as day how much Travis likes the woman.
Too bad, Jillyanna wasn't willing to open her heart for him.

Jillyanna watched several men come and go while patrolling the area. She felt an oncoming headache from trying to find a chance in escaping once again.
Suddenly, an idea popped out of her mind. She flashed her beautiful smile and walked out of the room with her bag.
Savannah was sitting on the couch while typing something on her laptop. She was a pretty woman with a Japanese or Chinese beauty in her. At one glance, you would think she's just an ordinary girl but after sparring with her over a month ago, Jillyanna knew that she's someone strong and might be a cop working undercover.
"Hi." Jillyanna greeted her softly.
"Hello. Do you need anything?" Savannah retorted back in question as well.
"I was just wondering if I can go out? I don't think Travis would just let me go after what happened. Originally, I was supposed to visit my mother at the cemetery today. Can you come and go with me?" Her voice was soft and Savannah could see the sincere pleas in her eyes. How can she say no to a pregnant woman?
"Do you need to prepare or something? Or we can head out now?"
"Let's go now while the day is bright." Jillyanna responded with her smile. Savannah smiled, too and walked her out of the house.
She asked for two more people to come out with them. Jillyanna didn't mind it and was happy because she can execute her escape plan at the cemetery.
They stopped in front of a flower shop and bought a bouquet of red flowers which was her mother's favorite.
"I want some alone time with my mother. Can you stop a few meters away from me?" Jillyanna requested which also made sense so Savannah stopped in front of Venus' grave. It's about ten meters away from where Jillyanna was going and she can still see Jillyanna from where she stood.

"That grave looks a bit familiar." Savannah mumbled to herself while watching Jillyanna from afar but she didn't dare approach her as per request.
Jillyanna was observing the flow of visitors while trying to formulate an escape route in her mind.
"Mom, sorry if I'm a bit distracted today. I'm a bit upset and busy at the same time. However, Cielo mentioned that Lucian received a new evidence regarding your case. Do you think it's RV who sent it? Or was it Uncle Thomas? You know what mom..."
Jillyanna talked to her late mother for few minutes. When she saw a big wave of people coming in, she lowered her head and hid in the middle of the crowd.
Savannah's heart lurched in her throat. She couldn't spot Jillyanna at all within the crowd. "Watched out for anyone who would exit from the gate! I lost sight of the young madam! Repeat, watched out for anyone who would exit from the gate! I lost sight of the young madam!"
Savannah was getting more anxious as she called out for Jillyanna's name! Her voice was getting hoarser after few minutes of calling.
The men waiting outside were also getting nervous. They already asked for a back up to look for Jillyanna but there was no result yet.
In her disappearance, she caused quite a stir within the people's heart. Travis heard the news as well and threw a tantrum inside his office.
Documents and pen were scattered on the floor. His name plate was broken and shards of glasses had some blood stains from his fist.
"The boss was angry! He is definitely angry this time!" one of the employees who saw some shards of glasses coming out on the slit of the door whispered to his colleagues.
"Something must have happened to the young madam. I heard him gave orders to find his wife immediately. Our boss is actually married? I didn't expect that!" another employee answered him.
"Are you sure you heard it right? You might be mistaken!" another one warned but also joined their conversation.
"I am right. It wasn't just once. This past week, I heard the boss mentioned about finding his wife almost everytime he answered a call." the woman answered again.
When the door opened, everybody dispersed from the circle and went back to work as their boss with bleeding hands walked out of his office.
At the cemetery, Savannah was still running around when she found a single shoe on the ground. It was what Jillyanna wore when they left the house.
Her face was drained with colors when a thought flashed across her mind. With trembling hands, she pulled out her phone and called Travis directly.
"RV, I think Jillyanna didn't escape. I think she was kidnapped."
