Chapter 19 - Where is She?

He couldn't believe that was the lady he married. She was the one standing right in front of him. Claire turned back after she saw that there was no response from Ann. "What the hell are you doing here?" She screamed at seeing Joshua, and then ran into the closet in embarrassment. Joshua smirked at the way that she reacted.It was a win for him this time around. He had found something that he was going to use to torment her. He was still finding it challenging to get the images out of his head.He sat right on his bed while he waited for her to come out of the closet. Claire's face was completely red. "Oh no! Did Ann plan all of this? Where is she right now? How would I be able to face him after this?" Different questions crossed her mind.She peeped through the little gold that was there and then saw him sitting right on his bed with no expression on his face. She changed her clothes and then kept her lingerie somewhere else.She took out her box alongside her and took up the courage to walk out of the walk-in closet. "When are we going? There are just a few minutes left. Have you packed your luggage?" Things were so awkward for her at that moment. The only thing that she could think of doing was bombarding him with a lot of questions."Oh! Cut whatever you are trying to do. Don't act like you care about me right now. What's the deal with what you put in earlier? Were you trying to seduce me? You shouldn't feel shy about it. Both of us are married." He changed the topic."You know that you didn't have to bring that up, right? What do you gain by mentioning this? I just wore it because..." She was struggling to come up with an excuse that was reasonable enough."Ann told me to try it on and check how it looked on me." She finally told him, and they chuckled."It doesn't look like you were forced to put on the dress. You look beaming in it. Ann went out. You could have told her that the dress looked amazing on you. Who are you trying to impress so badly?" He winked at her. She was really annoyed with the way he was acting towards her."Oh! Do you actually think I would wear that to impress you? Your impotent self? Do you think I am like some ladies out there? Don't be so delusional, thinking every lady would want you to be messing with them." Claire said all that was on her mind.He felt hurt by those words again, and he chuckled slightly at the statement that she made. "If you are ready to go to the airport, just let me know. I would be waiting in the other room." She walked out of the room while Joshua was still in disbelief at the way that she had reacted. After a few minutes,.Both of them were right on the airplane. Claire was a little bit scared of heights, but she did her best to hide it as much as she could. She wished she wasn't that scared of heights. That was why she decided not to stay right beside the window.They were seated right inside Joshua's private jet. She stared at him since she was sitting at the back, and he was sitting right at the front.She felt a sharp pain right in her belly and tried so hard not to make it so obvious. It happened again, and it was a little obvious. "If you are feeling any form of discomfort, you can let me know about it, and our medical team will do as much as possible to help you." There was a nurse right on the board. She noticed the way she was acting.That distracted Joshua. He stared at her, and she stared at him. "Yes, I am okay." She was able to say this while staring at him."I would just go to the restroom." She stood up and walked to the airplane. She didn't know what was wrong with her. The pain got worse. She squatted while her hands were right on her tummy.She bit her lips in pain, with tears flowing down her eyes. It had been a long time since she had been in that toilet, but she didn't want to come out. She just wanted it to be hidden that way.She didn't want to look pathetic to anyone. Joshua noticed that she had been used to thirty minutes in the toilet already. He came from one of the attendants who was right on the jet."What about her? You should check on her right in the toilet." He told the attendant, and then she nodded. She walked to the toilet and kept on knocking."Miss! Are you there? Are you okay?" The attendant kept on knocking, but Claire was too weak to answer. The attendant rushed to meet Joshua as soon as possible."She isn't replying. The door is also locked." She went to report Joshua. Joshua stood up from where he was sitting and walked up to the bathroom.He didn't hesitate before he broke the door, but it was with his eyes closed. "Check her." His eyes were still covered immediately after he broke the door."Sir! She is not well!" the attendant shouted. Joshua rushed into the toilet and then carried her out of the toilet back to the room that was right on the plane.The medical workers immediately rushed to the room, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.After the doctor gave her some medicine to use, she stopped sweating for a while. "What happened to her?" Joshua might not like her, but that doesn't mean he doesn't give a damn about her."We can't figure out anything for now. We would get to the key, you know, once we could find something for her. She is okay now." The doctor assured Joshua. Joshua didn't want anything to happen to her, no matter what.
