Chapter 54

The Apple Knox 54

"What's wrong?" ask Knox again.

Apple was still glued and looked down at his phone that was still on.

He picked up his dropped phone and turned off the phone.

"W-how does he know my phone number? This is impossible!!" apple shook his head.

His hands were still shaking and Knox sidestepped his car and stopped him by the roadside.

"What's wrong?" ask Knox.

Apple gulped his saliva and Knox cupped his face to look at him.

"What's wrong? Who called you and why are you so scared?" ask Knox.

"That man" replied Apple.

"Who is that guy? Tell me," Knox said.

Apple didn't answer and still saw Knox's eyes.

"Apple, tell me who the hell is that guy? You'll always be safe with me, okay?" knox said again.

"Calm down, hmm? Now talk to me what's wrong with that guy?" ask Knox quietly to keep Apple a little quiet.

Apple looked around the car as if someone was following it.

"Hey, look at me! Nobody follows you and you're safe with me" Knox cupped Apple's jaw back.

"That man is my mother's ex-husband. He just got out of jail and found my mom through me. That's why I went to Dubai because my mom didn't want her to find me" Apple finally replied.

"What scared you? Did he ever hurt you?" ask Knox slowly.

Apple nodded quickly.

"What did he do until he went to jail?" ask Knox.

Apple did not answer.

"Tell me to know the situation you're in" Knox said.

Knox hugged Apple and rubbed his back.

"My mom agreed, but she didn't really do it because after that she planned something to put him in jail" Apple said.

"The man was free and he was looking for me and my mother" Apple said in a trembling voice.

"My mom used me to put that guy in jail" Apple continued.

"What did he do to you?" ask Knox.

"D-he locked me in a big house and ..." Apple's words stopped because he couldn't continue.

"Shhh ... No need to say it," Knox said slowly and still hugged Apple.

"I'll take care of it and you won't have to worry anymore" Knox said.

"He knows where I am. He's following me right now" said Apple, who released Knox's arms and looked out of the car again.

"Hey, you're with me. No one can touch you or hurt you" Knox said.

It was visible from Apple's eyes that she was very panicked and tried to hold back her cries.

"Look at me!! Nothing's gonna happen to you. As long as you're with me, then you'll always be safe, okay?" said Knox cupped Apple's cheeks and stared fixed eyes that were glassy.

Apple finally nodded despite the fear in his eyes.

"Who's the guy's name? I'll take care of it" Knox said.

"J-Jorge Marine" replied Apple.

"Well, you'll never see him or talk to him again on the phone" Knox said.

Apple nodded quickly.

After Apple calmed down a little, Knox decided to go home to the mansion because of Apple's unstable mental condition due to the phone from Jorge.

Arriving at the mansion, Apple got out of the car and still looked towards the back of the car to make sure no one was following it.

"Nobody can follow me and this mansion is the safest place for you" said Knox, who reached out to Apple to take him down from the car.
