365 Days To Love-Chapter 159 - ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE:Taken Away From Her.
The constant ringing of Zaiden’s phone the next morning woke him up,while he cursed loudly at who it was that was disturbing his sleep with Hazel.
She kicked him, and groaned annoyingly at the disturbance of his phone to her, who hadn’t gotten a fill of her sleep after last night’s events.
Zaiden should have known by now that his secretary, Andrew, don’t call him this early unless there was an emergency at work which urgently needed his attention.
He took the call after Hazel had sighed again when the ringing didn’t stop,so he went out of their room to the verandah to pick up the call.
"Sir,have you watched the news?’’Andrew asked in a haste,while looking outside the company to see the flock of Reporters, which were storming the front of the company.
while waiting for someone to give them any definite answer to the problem at hand.
This was definitely bad news,regarding the fact that they had nothing to do with what was going on,but Arianna’s agency was not thinking in the same direction.
"That’s a good morning Andrew,what exactly is going on?"Zaiden asked,looking at the time,it was still early.
Something didn’t sit right for Andrew to ask him this question at this time,and also he could tell through his voice too.
"Arianna has gone missing,"Andrew announced.
"What do you mean she’s gone missing?,how did you even get to hear such rumours?"Zaiden asked,not believing what Andrew said.
Was he so gullible to believe such rumours?
It’s not a new thing everyday, that bloggers tend to bring up fake news about celebrities and about Anna,it’s not a new thing.
"Her company filed a lawsuit against us for having something to do with her gone missing,it was reportedly said that after the contract was over,she was seen with you"
"That’s absolute bullshit!"Zaiden said, cutting the call on Andrew , rendering him speechless at his action because he knew he wouldn’t take it lightly either with her agency.
Zaiden put a call through to Anna,this was the first time he was contacting her after numerous times of avoiding her.
His suspicion went to her boyfriend, when she didn’t pick up after three countless calls that went to voicemail.
At first,Zaiden didn’t want to believe what Andrew had said,there was no way her company would think of doing that when he had not in any way been in close contact with Anna.
Until,he went online to see the latest news about him and the alleged missing model,just like Andrew had said that he was the last person to be with Anna.
His suspicion about her boyfriend, what’s his name again? Had something to do with this was heightened, when the photo of him talking with Anna in the dressing room was online.
Who took the picture?
There was no one in that room on that day,aside from her boyfriend who had walked in on them.
So how did the picture come about?
Where exactly was Anna?
As he was still in thoughts over this,a new video was uploaded at that very moment and it was Anna’s boyfriend,the supermodel.
He was in the hospital and badly injured,which he couldn’t think of any other assumption about all of this happening,except for the fact that he had a fight with Anna.
He’s involved with Anna missing?
But what he thought about the reason, for him being in the hospital wasn’t the same with others, because the headlines were boldly written that he was attacked by Zaiden.
What bullshit!
His fans had gone into an angry mood,and took actions by accusing him for beating up Micheal to the point of death,and the proof had been the picture of Micheal walking in on them in that dressing room.
What the hell?
"Arianna suspected of cheating on Micheal,with boyfriend,Zaiden Knights"
"Zaiden Knights accused of cheating on his fianceè"
’’Zaiden Knights is a not who everything thinks he is,he’s a monster and an unfaithful fiance"
"Arrest him at once!"
"Where exactly is Arianna?"
"Micheal needs to be avenged,this is pure barbaric,Zaiden is a gangster! Take him in!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Zaiden was too shocked, reading the comments and watching everything unfolding in front of him,until he heard the sound of a commotion downstairs,before the breaking of something and his mother’s loud voice.
"Babe,"Hazel called,jerking up from her sleep when she heard the sound of something breaking and turned to find the bed empty.
"Precious"He called to her,entering into their room while trying to keep up his normal face,he didn’t know exactly how to explain this to her.
How is she going to react?
Suddenly everything and everyone was against him for no good reason,there’s not a single solid proof that he had anything to do with Anna’s disappearance.
Micheal was a big liar who was trying to pin down every blame on him,when he’s the monster who’s been beating up Anna.
He made a huge mistake, and that was not alerting the cops earlier about Anna’s situation.
What if she’s dead?
What if Micheal had killed her and threw her body?
Would Hazel believe him if he told her what was going on?
He didn’t know why everything has turned worse ever since he accepted Hazel,who exactly is trying to make him react?
Zaiden was not concerned about himself, even after it’s clear to him that things were not good.
He’s much more worried about Hazel.
Another crash downstairs made Hazel stand up from the bed with another worried look on her face.
"Something is wrong?
"Stay here princess,"Zaiden walked up to sit her down on the bed,he didn’t want her going downstairs.
Taking a top from his closet and putting it on,he went out of the room to find his mother fisting the collar of the detectives while his dad was pulling her away.
"You can’t take my son,he had nothing to do with that cheapskate"She yelled,while Ezekiel pulled her away.
"You can’t just walk in without a warrant officer,..’’Elijah Interfered in the situation, trying to act nice when he was enjoying this show at the moment.
Grand was not in the country at the moment,and his precious grandson had added to their problems by having a scandal with his ex.
Not just any scandal,but a huge one that’s requiring him to be locked up for questioning over her disappearance.
Was life not good?
"Here it is,you are interfering with our duties by not bringing out the suspect"Detective John strictly reminds them of the consequences of what they were doing.
Not only does he still havean on going investigations with the family over the murder,another case which he’s incharge just came up,and surprisingly still the same family.
He knew there was a lot more going on in this household,he would do the old man,William Knights, the honors of figuring out everything because of their relationship.
But as of now,this was a state order and he could lose his job if he doesn’t do as he was instructed, Zaiden Knights have to come in for questioning regardless of who he was.
"He’s not taking my son Ezekiel,I don’t c.."Avery stood her ground,which her statement was cut short by who she was trying to save.
"I’m here officer"Zaiden announced his arrival, climbing down the stairs as his mother shouted at him for what he was trying to do, but his dad prevented her from getting out of his hold.
It was hard for Ezekeil,but he knew there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Things were getting complicated day by day, and this time,it was about Zaiden, his son.
Zaidek couldn’t bear to look at his mother, as she was shouting at Ezekiel to let go of her.
With his hands stretched out towards Detective John,who took out his cuff,"you are under arrest for the sudden disappearance of Arianna Walter and the assault on Micheal Cole"
"Get that shit off his hands"Avery screamed.
"You have the right to remain silent, because anything you say would be used against you in the law court.you have the right to an attorney,if you don’t have one.The state would provide one for.."
Detective John was interrupted again,but this time it was not his mother, but someone else who meant a lot to the man in front of him.
"What’s going on here?"Hazel asked,watching from the stairs at the scene in the sitting room.
Zaiden was getting his hands cuffed,for what reasons?
"Can i have a minute?"Zaiden asked Detective John who nodded his head,he was already feeling bad for what was going on.
So,this was the Knight’s Princess.
He remembered he still had to question her for the murder,but they had forbidded him from doing so countless times.
"Precious"Zaiden called to Hazel,his voice wavering when he saw the despicable look on her face.
Shaking her head in denial over what it is,she thinks it is that was happening.
"What’s wrong, Zaid? "she asked,finally standing in front of him,her eyes were on the verge of crying.’’ Why are you in cuffs? Why is there a cop?"
"You trust me right?"Zaiden asked,his voice came out cracky,he too was finding it hard to explain just by seeing her face.
"I trust you babe,but wh..y is everyone,what’s..a..ll th..is,what’s going.."
"Hey babe,look at me ,"He said,cupping her face in his hands,while cleaning her tears"I’m fine,I just had a little issue but i will be fine"
"No! Don’t try to lie to me,you are not fine, what’s going ...on?"She cried but was pulled into his embrace,while he patted her hair.
"I will be back soon,you don’t have to worry about this okay?,it’s nothing"He assured her,as she shaked her head in denial.
"You are lying again"she hit lightly on his back,not understanding at all what the hell was going on.
First,it’s the murder.
Then,the threat,and now, Zaiden’s being cuffed.
"It’s time to leave, ’’Detective John said, walking up to touch Zaiden’s back, but Hazel wasn’t planning on letting go,just like her mother-in-law.
"Babe listen,I will be back sooner than you think, okay?"Zaiden said lastly,breaking away from the hug,as Detective John dragged him away from Hazel who shouted.
She ran after him, but Nathan appeared out of nowhere to stop her from hurting herself, if she tried stopping the cops from doing their duties.
Trying to tug her hand from Nathan’s hold,who felt bad seeing her cry,he was feeling too much emotion at that moment seeing her this way.
But it was much worse for Zaiden,who saw hell when Nathan touched Hazel,for the very first time he felt helpless,he had no power to do anything at that moment.
It hurts watching Hazel Cry, as he was taken away from her,this was not about him being Zaiden Knights, this was about a man who was hurt ,watching as he is being taken away from what he treasured most.
He will come back.
He definitely has to.for Hazel.
