“That's the shit I'm referring to," I gave him a high five out of excitement. My Joy knew no bounds. I could feel some butterflies in my belly as though I just won the lottery. “You should know your room already. Today has been hectic. Tomorrow promises are even bigger,” Paul said. He's finally come out of his state of confusion. As he was about to leave, my phone rang. I literally exhausted my strength. It took me a while to get to where the phone was. And when I grabbed the phone, I saw Ethan's name popped on my screen Instantly, I had a mood swing. When I thought I'd be going to bed with a happy soul, Ethan's unexpected call ruined the party. Paul said something and I failed to respond. That was the moment he knew something was wrong. “It's Ethan, right?” He returned to me. I tried to deny who the caller was, but it wasn't working. Paul already caught my secret, which made it difficult for me to deny it further. “Fine! It's Ethan, but I don't want to speak to him now. He should know when to call it quit. I am not running away from the marriage,” the frustration in me spoke I couldn't Fathom why Ethan decided to call me instead of Paul. The last time I checked, he contacted Paul because he wanted to speak for me. This time, he decided to try something different. “You need to answer the phone, Suzy. How would he know that you aren't tired of the marriage if you continue to ignore him? Think about it,” Paul advised me. Funny how the table was turned in just a few minutes. It wasn't too long before I was trying to motivate Paul to be strong when he feared Angela. And now, the same Paul is trying to influence my decision-making policy. Out of Paul's request, I answered the phone. I wished that Ethan would never answer the phone just to maintain my bragging rights. Sadly, he responded at the first trial. It made it seem as though he was keeping tabs on me from CCTV camera footage. “Hey, Suzy. Where are you? I've missed you so much. When are you coming home?” Ethan tossed all the questions at me. He probably thought I was going to hang up the phone on him. Listening to how pitiful he sounded on the phone made my heart bleed. The tone of his voice made me feel guilty. I was to abandon my mission and return home to Ethan before he went crazy. “I'll be back, Ethan. You ain't got nothing to worry about. I am still at Paul's. He's helping me out with something critical,” I notified Ethan. It took a while before I could move my lips to speak. “That was the same thing Paul told me. Can you please give me a specific time? I need to get all the necessary assurance. I am losing my mind. I can't breathe without you,” with a teary voice, Ethan begged. That was the first time he pleaded with me in such a manner ever since we got married. It was no way compared to when he asked me to marry him. “Tomorrow morning, Ethan. Tomorrow morning. I promise,” I replied. Although, I wasn't sure of my response. It was just a plot to make him happy. “Okay. I'll be expecting you,” Ethan sighed. I didn't wait for him to speak further before ending the call. “Hey, that was harsh He was about to say something,” Paul berated me for hanging up when the conversation was still alive “That's it. I spoke to him. Goodnight, Paul,” I walked past Paul without addressing what he complained about. I got inside the shower and cried my eyes out. I could barely have a decent bath. A lot occupied my mind to the point where I couldn't even think to save my life. “How would he know you aren't done with the marriage when you keep ignoring him?” The words of Paul echoed in my head. This time, it got even louder than the previous time. I imagined him speaking right in my presence. “What if he's right? Oh, lord. I don't want to regret doing this,” I pondered while stepping out of the shower. I thought about it for a while until I slept off. _______ The morning flickered through my window as I rubbed my blurry eyes and got off the bed. When I checked the wall clock, I realized it was a few minutes past 9 am. I yawned in fatigue and stretched my hands in the air. I had no idea how I slept for too long even when I wasn't drunk last night. I checked my phone and saw the numerous missed calls from Paul. It could only mean one thing; he's ready for our second mission. He probably didn't enter the room because he figured I might be naked. Hurriedly, I had a quick bath and got dressed. As I was about to leave, I bumped Into Paul who was trying to enter my room. He apologized for hitting me and clarified that he'd been trying to reach me for a while, but I wasn't taking my calls. He also explained how he landed several knocks on the door which were left unanswered. So sorry about that. I lost sleep last night thinking about today. Can we go now?" I apologized. Without speaking further on the issue, Paul led me outside to the car. He took out his phone and said, “Now it's the time,” He brought out Angela's card and called the number that was written on it. Immediately after the call went through, Paul had to put in on a loudspeaker to ensure I didn't miss out on the conversation. “Am I onto Angela Woods over the phone?” Like a perfect gentleman, Paul asked. He spoke in the most sublime words ever. That was the first time I would hear him speak like that With so much romantic tone, I don't see Angela knowing our plans against her.

I needed to be certain that I wasn't imagining things that weren't real.In a delicate situation like that, the last thing I'll consent to is jokes or pranks.“Of course, I did, Tony.

Let's listen to what the son of a bitch has to say,”Marcus replied.I was relieved by his utterances. It confirmed that I wasn't losing my mind after all.Patrick stepped forward. He stood before everyone to ensure he was closer to Sean than any of us. “Start talking now! This is your chance to make it right again. Tell us what you know about Angela's whereabouts. And don't you dare miss out on any details,” Patrick ordered Sean.For a moment, I was impressed by his moves. That was the only sensible thing that has been done over the last couple of hours.

Tony Woods' POV “Stop that man.Don't let him get an inch close to the interrogation room. He's going to do something crazy," Officer Patrick instructed his other officers.Instantly, they stood before me and formed a shield to block my exit.Soon, Patrick joined me as he panted heavily. I gave him the run of his life that he would never forget rushing. “What's the meaning of this madness, Patrick? Have you suddenly lost your manners? Is this how you treat a man of my age?Tell them to get the fuck out of my way before someone gets hurt," I demanded.I used my age as an advantage to get past the officers, but I failed.The officers in front of me were ruthless. It was as though Patrick had cast a spell on them, that made them obey his command without grudges.“This ain't got nothing to do with ageYou brought this upon yourself.

Chapter 55Tony Wood's POV“Wait a minute, did you just hear that?” I called Patrick's attention to the tiny voice I heard. “Heard what? What are you talking about? Are you starting to hear things that aren't real?” Patrick mocked me. He didn't think I was telling the truth. “Have you forgotten the reason we are here? Let's go inside quickly before she escapes,” he urged me, but I refused. I was resilient and focused on my instincts. “I might be old, but certainly not dumb or stupid. I knew what I heard. That was Kelly's voice,” I challenged Patrick.I didn't allow him to control my thoughts. I left the doorway and strolled around my mansion, trying to trace the voice I heard. “Papa, please come,”I heard the voice calling me for the second time. I traced the voice to the garage and saw Angela and Kelly seated inside the car. I tried to get closer to them, but she drove off. I didn't try to run after the car, knowing it would be pointless to do that. For the second consecut

Tony Wood's POV“Where's Angela?Where's Kelly?” I popped the question without a direct lead. I was hoping that someone would sacrifice themselves to speak up.“Oh, shit. She fucking escaped. How did this happen? Where are the fucking nurses?” The doctor screamed. He slammed the wall to demonstrate his rage. He was about to leave when I held him back. “Where the heck are you going?”“What the heck is this? Let go of me,” he requested.“I want to summon all the nurses to know who was on duty,” he explained.I was ruthless!I refused to let him go, knowing that he was the reason for Angela's escape. If he hadn't hesitated when I called for her arrest, Angela would be sleeping behind bars already.“Oh, come on, Tony.You know I have nothing to do with this. I was only trying to protect the image of my hospital,” he claimed.That was the lamest excuse I've ever heard. The excuse made me even more angry. I wasn't conscious of my act anymore. And the next minute, I was already draggi

Why did you invite the police to my hospital?” The Doctor asked me in a faint tone. He was panting heavily after running to m

Tony Woods POV“Are you sure you are ready for this moment, Mr. Woods? I want you to take your time and reflect on it before coming up with a decision. What I'm about to disclose might sound partially devastating and heartbreaking to you. And I am sure you wouldn't want that for yourself. Remember your health status. I don't want to be the one to escalate your blood pressure,” The doctor retreated just when he was on the verge of disclosing my son's test results. It wasn't a question I found quite intriguing. But somehow, I was able to control my rage. “Really? Are we going to do this all day? Come on, Doctor. I am not interested in any of your jokes. Just hit the nail on the head. Doctor, if I weren't ready, I wouldn't be here. As we speak, I am involved in an ongoing police investigation,” I revealed.What Ignorance!If only he knew what I've been through in the last 48 hours. “Oh, shit.
