SAMANTHA'S POV I was still reeling from the shock of Manuel's discovery. I had never planned to hide the truth from him but it was something I had to do. His memories was back now so it seemed. And it was only a matter of time before he would find out about the kids. I had to do something but the only thing that came to mind was telling him.I didn't want his life to be disrupted and I didn't want my kids to feel rejected. I thought as I paced the full length of my office twiddling with my fingers. I tried to come up with a solution but none came to mind. The rest of the day, I couldn't concentrate either.Standing outside the office at the end of the day,I frowned as I massaged the kinks from my neck from overworking myself just to get the worry off my mind. I called Martha earlier in the day to inform her that I would be late tonight. I wanted her to tuck in the kids for me.As I stood on the sidewalk, waiting for a cab. A black SUV zoomed past. With heightened eyesight, I read
MANUEL'S POVWhen the call had come in and I saw it was from Samantha, I had been reluctant to pick it up. But something kept nagging me at the back of my mind.Tapping on the message. I read it through the Capitalized contents."HELP ME. TRACK MY LOCATION "I tried dialing her over and over again but it was unavailable. My heart picked up a few beats. I felt my breathing hitch at the thought of something happening to Samantha. I tracked her location on the map and found her at the far end of the city . I frowned.What was Samantha doing in an abandoned part of town and that too at this time of the day?What confirmed my doubts was the call from an unknown number."Hello "I answered hesitantly. There was a long pause."Manuel, It's me Rick"the male voice finally spoke."Rick?"I said unable to hide the disbelief in my voice."Yeah, I know it's not ideal but let's not make it any more awkward than it has to be."Why..."I began."I think there's something wrong with Sama
SAMANTHA'S POV"You want me to do what?"I asked in disbelief hoping that I had heard it wrong. "You heard me "he responded.I let out a chuckle.You can't expect me to take you seriously. How the heck would I be able to get that huge sum of money?"I told him."Come on,6 million cannot be that much to you "he joked."Wel,l don't have that kind of money and even if I did, do you think that I would be able to release them to you?"I responded.He chuckled, getting up from his chair he turned to leave."Well,you'll have to come up with that money if you do not want anything bad to happen to you" he threatened giving me a smile that exposed his gold-plated teeth.I felt goosebumps trail my skin at the sound of the imminent threat in his tone. I knew he meant it. After he walked out, Two men walked in and strapped me to a titanium chair. They pulled out their sheers and one by one they picked at my fingernails as the sounds of my screams resounded all around the metal room beggin
MANUEL'S POVI had stood frozen as the little girl whispered the words 'daddy'.I looked her straight in the eye to catch the childish smile she had that brightened all her features."Nova?"Rick called out to her,extending his arms out which she ran into."Baby,do you know where your mum is?"he asked.She hesitated.Her brothers turned to look at her."Is mummy in trouble?"she asked frightened as she fidgeted with her doll.I observed that It was one of her habits that must have been learnt from her mother.I reached for her."Nothing is wrong with your mom. She just went somewhere without telling us so we want to know where she would be.She told us that you would be able to find her" I comforted."Baby,do you remember the gam..trick that your mother might have shown you?"Rick asked skeptically. She nodded hesitantly. We let out a sigh of relief."Okay,can you show us?"I asked.She ran out of the room and rushed back into the room holding a tablet in her hand."What is thi
SAMANTHA'S POVWhen I awoke again I was surrounded by white walls,the marble titles smelt of antiseptic.I struggled to sit up but was quickly held down by Rick."You need to rest"he ordered.I looked up at him,about to protest but the look in his eyes said it all.I allowed him to tuck me back in bed."Where I am?"I groaned as I felt my belly hurt."Careful,you got hurt badly.It will take sometime to heal"he said."You're in a hospital."he addedI nodded.That much I had guessed."Where's Manuel?"I croaked reaching for the glass jug that was placed on the bedside drawer.He reached out to help me,pouring me a glass which I gratef
