Chapter 43

“ I don't know, but one day he just stopped talking about her .I even dared myself to ask him where she was .Her name was Amelia. I had told her what Sean was capable of doing but she said she wasn't afraid that Sean Loved her. I know Sean is not capable of love and then one day she stopped coming. When I asked him where she was all Sean said to me was she was weak and that he had to let her go, then a few days later I saw her picture on the internet and on the news. She was missing but she didn't have anyone. She was an orphan so no one was looking for her, just co-workers and to this day she still hasn't been found .I think Sean killed her and his father helped him hide her body."

“Mrs Johnson, are you aware of what you're saying?”

“I'm aware of what I'm saying and I think I know I may know where they buried her ”.

“Okay then where ?”

“At the back of our property there's this huge lake but it's private . A few weeks after she stopped coming by and I saw the missing report Sean was out there with his father and a few of the security guards. I don't know what they were doing but they were on the water. I think they threw her in the water”

Agent Morrison looked at his partner .“We'll need a damn warrant to search a senators property ”

My dad looked at her,“Mrs Johnson, are you sure?”

“ Yes I am Mr Chase”

“ Okay Agent Morris ,I have a judge that does not stand for any injustice I can make a call right now and see if we can get a warrant ”

“I would really appreciate that ”

“Okay I'll leave you to talk ”

my dad left and i looked at the woman.“Why are you so concerned about Athena?”

“Let me explain to you why, as a matter of fact let me show you”

She stood up and opened her jacket when she raised her shirt up. Her entire body was cut and full of scars. When she turned around her entire back was full of scars. Morris looked at me .

“what the fuck happened to you Lady?”

“He cut you up didn't? the same way Sean cut Athena ?”

“Yes he did ,I've been carrying these Scars for so many years and they keep adding more and more, especially my husband. Every time I didn't do what he wanted , say what he wanted, every time I said something that I shouldn't have said or something that made him angry or something ,he didn't like I earned another cut, another scar".

“The day that you got married to Athena Sean came home to our house and he broke everything. I was scared of him that day. He broke every single thing that he could get his hands .On saying that she belonged to him and that you had no right. But he knew what to do ,he knew how to get her in line. Does she think she loves you all he had to do was get to you, get to her and make her understand that if she doesn't stay away from you. and if she doesn't go back to him he's going to kill all of you".

"He has this crazy obsession with her. When I asked him why . to just let her be ,why she is so important, he said because she could tolerate the pain . She was a fighter. I asked him what he meant and he said she never backed down. she would always go against him ,she would always fight him on what he's doing . Every time he hurt her she would always fight back, she would always try to escape. He said he prizes that and he can't lose her, because he won't ever find someone that strong again. You have to find her and keep her safe. You need to protect yourself and your family". I looked at my mom and that is why she won't come back.

“ she had called me and she told me she's protecting us ”

“I told you Mr Chase there's a reason she hasn't come back and now you know”.

“Mrs chase, Mr Chase if my husband finds out I am here ,there will be hell to pay. I'm going to die”

“You won't Mrs Johnson. we'll take you right now into protective custody”

“ Mrs Johnson would you testify in court against your husband and your son?”

“ Yes I will”

“ Mom you and that are going to be fighting the biggest case of your lives because I'm going to get Athena back And. she's going to do the same in court. The world needs to know what they're capable of ”

“ I agree with you I've suffered silently for many years. I've took the beatings from my husband even my son hit me. I had to tow the line but now I'm just tired”

I left and went back to my office .Cyrus went to the boutique to get Natalie and take her home. My mom was still at the office waiting for my dad. I walked into my office and sat there .she was a fighter she was strong, she's been through so much and her will to live is astonishing. I don't think any other woman would have survived that long ,survive all that she's being through.I was about to call Greg when I saw Brandon the hacker run into my office .

“What do you think you're doing ?”

“I'm sorry Mr Chase, but I think I found her ”

I got up instantly. “ What do you mean? show me ”

He walked over to my desk and put his laptop down.“ So you said she's probably going to change the way she looks ,but she's still going to sound the same .So I've been hiring freelance software engineers. There's one all the way in fort worth Texas . She doesn't have a picture up on her profile but I found her descriptionand information . She has black hair ,black eyes, five six in height . She recently moved to fort worth Texas and she's currently 3 months pregnant”

“ Now I didn't think it could be her so I called her to do a freelance and I have a voice sample and I matched it against yours and it's a perfect fit .So I hacked her camera. She's currently working right now. I can only access her camera when she's using the laptop and she is using it right now. It took me a while to get through because she has a lot of encoding software trying to hide her IP address, so no one would be able to track her”

“I can turn the camera on for you”

“ Turn it on”

He turned it on , and I looked at the person sitting in front of the laptop .

“That's not my wife”

“ Are you sure Mr chase?”

Then I started looking more clearly minus the wig, the shape of her face that was her. “Thank you Brandon, can you leave this laptop here, you're free for the rest of the day you can do whatever you want ”

“Sure Mr Chase”

“ And don't worry you'll be well paid for this ”

“It's no problem Mr Chase , I'm happy i could help you ”

After he left I frosted the glass and I started looking at the computer. Is she wearing a wig ,or did she cut her hair? I called Christine .

“Has Brandon left?”

“No Mr Chase”

“ Get him back in here for me ”

I didn't even look at him when he came in .“ You said she's in fort worth Texas ,do you know exactly where?”

“ In a few minutes I can find her but I'll need to call her do it”

“Find her exact location ”

“Okay Mr Chase, also she has cameras in her house. because I tried pinging for all cameras location and she has cameras stuff all over her house .I think as a precaution ”

“Okay I need you to access all of that and control it .We will be going there and when we get there you're to make sure all her cameras are off so she doesn't see who's showing up”

“ Very well Mr Chase”

I walked out and went to Christine .“Christine get the jet set, we're going to fort worth Texas and call Greg never mind I'll call Greg myself ”

“Mr Chase, may I ask ?”

“Ask what Christine?”

“ Are you going to bring Mrs Chase back home ?”

“Yes I am Christine”

“ Okay sir I'll get on that right away”

I saw the way she smiled god damnit Athena has invaded every aspect of my life. That's just how special she was. I called Greg.
