Chereads / She's a rose with thorns / Chapter 11 - CH-11

Chapter 11 - CH-11

Hannah hadn't gotten a wink of sleep for the whole night.After getting home,she had seen the pictures online that exposed her adulterous relationship.Her face could be seen clearly snuggling and being kissed by a man whose face was blurred.The blurred man was none other than James,but the public didn't know.They only focused on the fact that Hannah cheated and didn't care with who it was.During situations like this,the woman was always the main target whether she was a public figure or not compared to the man.A world known supermodel and fashion icon was caught on a cheating scandal.How could the public let this go?Now she undersood why Noemie Dubois dared to be so cold to her in public.

She had tried calling Gael many times,but his phone had been off and he was nowhere to be found.Giving up she had tried calling James,but he had only said he would take care of it and didn't coax her much.

At first,Hannah had been calmed down by James,but after seeing that the photos didn't disappear for hours and her phone number getting leaked she was starting to get scared.The hundreds of texts and unknown calls cussing at her,had forced Hannah to turn off her phone.Now she was alone in her apartment,waiting in silence for someone to help and save her.

Suddenly she couldn't take it anymore and tried calling James with her second number that she only used with him.This time the call didn't take to long to be picked up and a deep annoyed voice was heard from the other side.

"What?"

"What?You have the nerve to ask me what?!Why haven't you taken the pics down yet?It's been hours,James!Hours!"

"I said I would take care of it.The media it was posted on isn't within my zone of control,but looking at it they seem to fear me so they didn't dare disclose my identity.You stay low for awhile until the heat goes down."

"Stay low?Stay low!"Hannah shrieked.

"Calm down,Hannah."

"James my career is over!I can get killed if I go out now!My whole life is over!And you tell me to calm down?!You do something James,don't forget that if I go down,you're going down with me!"Hannah had been psychologicaly tourted all night with all cusses and threats by millions of people,she had completely lost all cool and reason.She didn't care if James would get angry with this direct threat.

James knew her head wasn't in the right because of fear and panic so he didn't reprimand her.

"Without the day ending,those pics will completely disappear from the internet."

This time Hannah slightly comforted so her tone lowered. "Okay."

After ending the call with Hannah,James called his most trusted aide and started yelling at him.

"Why hasn't anything been solved yet?It has been several hours since those pics were released and the media still keeps writing articles about them!What am I paying you all if not for solving problems like this?"

"We're trying our best sir but-"

"No buts!I don't care how much it takes or costs!I want those pics to disappear from the internet before the sun goes down today!If not,you're all dead!"

"But sir-" the call was ended.

James then threw the phone aggressively,turning it into pieces.He wasn't as calm as he seemed .Inside he was also in caos and fear.What if Isabel saw those pics?What if she managed to recognise him?His face was blurred,but his body wasn't.A person with sharp eyes would be able to tell after thinking for a while,that was the main reason he wanted those pics to disappear quickly,not to calm Hannah.He seemed to have a new enemy in the dark and one that he should fear.Isabel finding out everything would be game over.He had worked hard to get close to her in the last few years,he would never let all that hard work go to waste.His plan should be sped up.He can't wait anymore.

James went to the big shelf on the side of his desk.He pushed a few books to the side and when the section was empty,he pushed the upper half of the wood reveling a hidden safe.He entered the code and opened it.Inside the shelf were a few documents and a small old phone.James took the phone and made a call.

After a while someone finally picked up.A mans serious and cold voice was heard.

"Hello."

"It's me.I need to take out someone.Pick up the best you have."

He heard a sudden knock and the voice of his secretary."Mr.Williams?May I come in?"

James panicked and whispered "I call you later to explain."

He hid the safe quicky and pushed the books back in place.He sat down and cleared his throat.

"Come in."

The secretary entered.

"Theres a few documents that need to be checked by you."

"Give them to me."
