The next day Karol wake up in a better condition than the previous nightmare that she wishes she didn't go through. She then wakes up, takes a long shower wash herself every nook and cranny that she feels dirty then heads out.
Upon exiting her room, she was greeted by Brian; "Your breakfast is ready," as he plated Karol's pancakes neatly next to her cup of coffee before he seat down opposite her site.
Karol walk over towards him, "Thank you Brian but there's no need to do this because it's not in your work scope," as she takes her seat and begins to dig in.
"I know it's not but I want to do it, let's just say that this small thing is my gesture of thank you for being a kind soul to us,"
After breakfast, both Brian and Karol lounge around in the living room while doing their work.
"Karol your phone is ringing and getting messages from the same person do you want me to answer it for you?" asked Brian as he holds Karol phone.
"There's no need for that, just toss that number away. Wait, on the second thought give me that phone and could you go out, get me a new number?"
"Sure, I'll go now and do you want anything?"
Asked Brian as he put his jacket on.
"No thank you, just get back here quickly and be safe,"
Karol then takes a look at the multiple texts yet ignore all of them but as soon as Brian was out of the apartment Karol quickly calls her parents wanting to inform them.
"Hello?"
In an almost burst out crying tone, Karol held in her voice as hard as she can while she call out to her mother; "Mummy,".
The moment Karol call out for her, Anna instantly know something is not right as she asked; "Karol baby what's wrong?" in full alert while William voice; "What's wrong darling?" could be heard in the background.
Karol quickly clear her throat, keeping her tears at bay as she asked; "Mummy are you at?"
"At the mansion why baby girl?"
"Can you please go to grandpa house and bring daddy with you, please?"
"Okay baby girl we going there now,"
Said Anna as she drags her husband with her while Karol can hear her father's puzzled sound from the other side of the line;
"Hey, hey. What's wrong? Where are we going? What's with the rush?"
"Just walk, Karol want to talk to us,"
A clear sound of the house door being unlocked then closed could be heard by Karol before Anna put on the loudspeaker;
"Okay baby girl, we're in the house. Now, tell us what's wrong?"
"Please head over to your room,"
"Okay, give us a minute"
"Okay baby girl we're in the room. Now, tell us"
"I'm telling you two this because I promise to tell you everything but please don't get mad, promise me,"
With a knitted eyebrow Anna said;
"You need to tell us first what is it,"
"I'm going to go incognito mode,"
"Why?"
"I will explain everything when we meet face-to-face but I'm telling you right now that I'll change my number and don't worry I'll give you the new number,"
"Okay baby but why and what did happen until you want to go incognito?"
"Is this about Christian?" asked Anna hitting the bullseye.
"Yes it is because of him," said Karol as she cover her mouth trying her best to silently her unwanted crack voice. She then continues, almost begging her parents to be on her side in this situation.
"But don't go after him, please. I promise you I'll tell you everything as soon as I get my stuff done and if he calls you or message you two or even meet with daddy mummy please tell him that you don't know where am I. Tell him that I didn't tell you anything and I just vanish into thin air"
"We will and baby girl are you alright?"
"Frankly and truthfully daddy mummy, I'm not aright at all. I feel so stupid to the point of questioning my whole existence but I know everything happens for a reason so I'll leave it to the hand of fate"
Anna feeling overprotective and over-thinking suddenly come to her as she said; "Baby girl where are you now? We'll go to you right now" while she hugs her husband seeking comfort as he hugs his wife tightly.
In a reassurance voice Karol said;
"I'm okay mummy daddy, don't worry about me and there's no need to come here because tomorrow I'll move again so I'll keep you up to date,"
"Baby girl we know you'll do that but now you need someone to be by your side not alone,"
"Don't worry daddy I'm not alone, I'm with my subordinate and he's a good lad,"
"Okay baby girl but remember we'll always be here for you and if you call us we'll go to you without hesitating just never think that you're alone because you are never alone," said Anna in her motherly tone.
With a muffled voice she said; "Okay mummy, I'll always keep that in my mind," as her tears pour out before she adds; "I got to go now mummy daddy, talk to you later, I love you two".
Karol quickly hangs up straight the call and cries ugly. The moment Karol brawl her eyes out Brian come over and hug her tightly while rubbing her back in a soothing manner.
This gesture and action encourage Karol to pour everything that she has, she cries and cries over and over again until she passes out from exhaustion.
"I'm here Karol, don't be sad anymore. It breaks my heart to see you like this" said Brian in a whisper as he cradles Karol into her room tucking her in.
A few hours later Karol woke up from her sleep feeling nausea and tired, she then heads over to the living room plop herself next to Brian;
"Sorry I fall asleep,"
"No worries Karol, you need sleeps and also I have already changed your number into the new one and informed your family about the new number,"
"Thank you, Brian, for the help,"
"Oh yea next week we'll travel to another place and every week we'll change location until I feel it's safe to be in one particular location,"
"Okay Karol, I'll follow you till the end,".
The whole day Brian and Karol do their work leisurely without bothering anyone as she tries to bury her messy mind with attending to the workload of her company.
