PROLOGUE
"You better open this door Jane, I know you're in there", the rough male voice screamed as he banged on the door violently. Jane was white with fright as she stared at the door, wondering just how long it would hold against the man's renewed assault.
She slowly crept away from the door into her daughter's room, she was used to the drill by now, all the curtains in the house had been let down and both entrances were locked and secured with the bolts she had installed a few days prior, she hoped that this would be enough to keep them out.
She found little Stephanie seated on the bed with her headphones on full blast as she enjoyed her kid's show. Jane had made sure that this was the case as soon as she had seen the suspicious looking men approaching through the window. The little girl smiled back at her mother totally unaware of what was going on, she was never going to turn down the chance to watch her favourite show and Jane knew this.
" Jane!", the voice shouted once more as its owner struggled with the door handle in a vain bid to get it open and gain access to the house. Jane exited the room, leaving her daughter alone now that she was sure that the girl couldn't hear any of the commotion, she shut the door behind her and went to her kitchen, she picked up a pair of knives and walked to the living room waiting for the door to give way as the men outside repeatedly pounded on it.
With each hit, Jane's heart quaked. She knew she didn't stand a chance against the men who were trying to break into her house but she was determined to put her life on the line to ensure none of them got close to her daughter.
"Hey! If you guys don't leave the premises, I'm calling the cops", a voice called from the other compound. All the racket was undoubtedly beginning to disturb the neighbors and Susan, a sweet old woman who lived beside Jane was the first to object.
The pounding had stopped and Jane heard the shuffle of their feet walking away. She could still see a pair of shadows in her doorway; she knew it was him, he didn't give up that easily.
" You best thank your stars young lady", he whispered maniacally.
"This is a long way from over though, I'll be back and trust me, it will take more than your nosy neighbors to stop me from getting my hands on you bitch", he threatened angrily, giving the door one final shove before walking away. In a short while, the engines of their respective vehicles revved as they drove away.
Jane sank to the floor, letting both knives fall from her hands as she hit the ground. She was living her worst nightmare, she was alone in all this with a young child to take care of, and from the look of things, there was no end in sight.

A Slice Of Love Coincidence?
Jane's heart raced as she stood there, her gaze shifting between the two men in the room. The atmosphere felt charged, an unspoken tension hung in the air, and she found herself momentarily lost for words. She cleared her throat, gathering her composure, and met the gaze of the man who had asked the question."I... I'm sorry for interrupting," she began, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "Margaret told me to come here. I have a note from her."She held out the piece of paper she had received, noticing that both men exchanged a quick, almost imperceptible glance before focusing their attention back on her. The man who had offered her the job took the note and glanced at it briefly, his face betraying no emotion."Please, have a seat," he gestured to the chair in front of his desk. Jane hesitated for a moment before complying, her eyes never leaving his face. The other man, who was seated to the side, leaned back in his chair, studying her with an intensity that sent a shiver do

"Hey Mandy," Jane called into her phone as she readied herself for the uncomfortable task of asking her friend if she was going to be able to watch stephanie today while she worked. "You do know you don't have to be so polite when you want to bring Stephanie over," Mandy teased as she heard her friend's pleading voice over the phone. Jane always felt like the little girl was inconveniencing the ladies and was increasingly skeptical about leaving Stephanie there. "I'm going to have to bother you one more time Mandy," She squeaked into the phone. "It's alright Silly, but you have to bring her by in the afternoon, I have to go pick up supplies this morning and I don't know how long I'm going to be there. You can hang onto her for a little while till I'm back, I'll call you," Mandy informed her. Jane knew better than to express her dipleasure at the fact that Mandy was not going to be around, She was already doing her a huge favor watching over Stephanie while she worked. She turned h

You don't seem very scared Jane," Adrian scoffed as they both settled down inside his car. She could tell that they weren't the only ones in the vehicle as a faint cloud of smoke kept rising from behind them, the backseat was undoubtedly occupied. The only information Jane did not have was how many people were sitting there."I must be losing my powers, it's either that or you"re getting attracted to me Jane," he continued shamelessly as she stretched his hand across the space between their seats and brushed aside the strand of hair that fell across her face.Jane jolted backwards away from his hand in repulsion as laughter came from the back seat at the drama happening in front of them. From the sound of their voices, Jane could tell that there were two of them. She wondered why they were here so soon after giving her time to raise the money she owed them."I bet you're wondering why we're here Janie," Adrian's shrill voice came yet again as he smirked in her direction. Jane was tryi

Jane was a bit nervous, it was going to be her first day on the job and to be frank, she really didn't know what to expect yet. She panicked for the first time today after dropping Stephanie off with her friend Mandy. Mandy owned a hair salon not too far from the white lotus and she had been quite keen to take Stephanie off her hands upon hearing that she had gotten a job at the white lotus, the news of the new and luxury establishment had no doubt gotten to her ears as her clientele in the highbrow area had no doubt visited the place at least once. The restaurant was the talk of the town, this made it so much easier for Mandy to agree to taking care of stephanie for the period that Jane would be at work. Stephanie was a curious little girl and seeing how women walked into the shop with very unruly and disorganized hair but leaving with beautifully styled ones seemed to intrigue her, enough not to even notice when her mother left the shop. As Jane stepped into the restaurant that mor

Andre had decided to make this trip alone, he had decided not to take his chauffeur or any of his bodyguards along and that decision even though it had been hard to make, was necessary as he didn't need anyone to know the specifics of what he had come here to do. It was difficult enough to be able to bear the fact that his mother had kept her worsened health condition from him, it would be far worse that gossip about the situation and how he intended to remedy it got out.All the staff who worked under the Fernandez' employ knew better than to divulge any secrets that they came across while working for the family, but this in particular was something that Andre couldn't risk getting out. He had also reasoned that his uncle had a far better chance of reasoning with him if he came on his own and not as some spoiled heir with a convoy of employees following him to the establishment.Right now, it did not matter how he had come to see the man, his request had been turned down and for the

Jane sighed as she recognized the neighborhood of the restaurant, she had hoped that the cab ride would be longer as she had grown quite comfortable in the seat of the cab, sleepy even. So much that she had been unaware of what was happening around her for a huge chunk of the trip from the traphouse till they had arrived here, in proximity now to her destination. She peered at the inner rearview mirror and found the driver looking at her, he had kind eyes and grey hair and seemed to understand how tired she was. " Do you need me to make a detour?", he asked, still looking at her through the mirror. She was caught off guard by the question and the more she thought about it, she saw the kindness behind the man's words. " Oh no! Thank you for offering sir", she responded quickly as she didn't know if she would be able to afford the fare if he did what he was offering. The old man nodded in understanding and turned his eyes back towards the road. In the next few minutes, the cab slowed
