“What did you say?” The words barely escaped Mr Tyler’s lips.

He stared at Henna, his daughter. Her face was now pale, her eyes wide with a terror he’d never seen.

“I… I said I did it,” she repeated, her voice cracking.

“I had her kidnapped…..I hated her for taking my place. For taking over the company that was supposed to be mine. She was supposed to be nobody but you… You ended up giving her everything,” Henna lamented.

“That’s not true,” Mr Tyler insisted, his voice rising with desperation.

“I did not give her anything!…….you were the one too weak to have it snatched from her!” Mr Tyler said angrily.

“I am the victim!” Henna cried out, her composure finally shattering.

“I am your first daughter… the company is my birthright, Dad, mine. She just had to go……I wanted her gone so I could take over, so I could finally prove to you that I was capable, that I was worthy,” Henna said.

Just then, the sound of sirens, distant at first, then growing louder, cut through their argument. Mr.

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR

    Ren was standing next to the couch where Jane sat; she had a look of calm, almost serene, acceptance on her face. A half-empty glass of champagne sat on the table in front of her. Ren kept a firm look on his face.“Jane,” the detective called out, his weapon still raised, but his voice was softer. “It’s over,” he said.Jane met his gaze directly, a small, knowing smile on her lips. She gently stood up, her movements graceful and unhurried.“I know,” she said, her voice clear and steady. She didn’t resist as the officers cuffed her. Ren was also taken into custody; his loyalty to Jane remained unwavering, even in the face of their impending arrest.*************************************************Back at the precinct, the full story began to unravel. Jane, now seated in an interrogation room, looked like a woman who had finally found peace after a long, arduous journey.“I was involved in everything,” she began, her voice devoid of emotion. “Six years ago, I had Sophia kidnapped

    “Find a way to get in touch with Tom,” Jane ordered.“Are you really going to get him involved?” Ren asked.“I wasn’t asking…..I want you to put a call through to Tom,” Jane insisted.Ren came forward. “Jane, listen to me. Tom isn’t who you think he is…I know he’s your husband, I know you still want to believe he’s going to help you out of this—but he won’t. Because he hadn't already,” Ren spoke out for the first time, and this left Jane surprised.Her jaw tightened. “All these years, now you choose to finally speak your mind…..You don’t know him,” Jane stated.Ren exhaled, then signalled Mr Frank, and he excused them.“You are right, I have always followed your orders without arguing, but this time it is different…..I do know what the cops did. They had Mr Tom arrested, and he spilled everything—every single thing… even the one from six years ago,” Ren said.Jane’s face froze.“He cracked….he cut a deal and threw you under,” Ren continued.Her voice dropped to a whisper. "That’s n

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER NINETY-TWO

    *BRAN’S POV*The convoy of police cars, sirens silent but lights flashing, sped through the deserted industrial district. They spread out, their flashlights cutting through the darkness, lighting their paths.The two detectives, their guns drawn, led the way and I, who had somehow managed to convince them to let me tag along, followed from behind, my heart in my throat.The police breached the warehouse, their footsteps echoing in the space. Dust particles danced in the rays of their flashlights. The air was cold and stale, a place long forgotten.Then, a sound. A faint, muffled whimpering was coming from a corner of the warehouse, where a small, isolated room sat.They approached with caution, their guns still raised. The door was open, a ray of light escaping from within. The detective kicked it open, and the sight that greeted them was a relief.Sophia was there. Strapped to a hospital bed and a gag in her mouth, her eyes wide with terror, but she was alive.One of the detectives r

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER NINETY-ONE

    *BRAN’S POV*The lights of the precinct hummed and did little to soothe my nerves. I paced the length of the room. It had been hours since Sophia vanished, and the detectives were hitting dead ends. No ransom calls, no eyewitnesses, nothing. The detectives sat across from a desk, their faces etched with a familiar weariness.“We’ve checked her social media, her bank accounts, and her phone records,” he said, his voice in a low tone. “Zero activity since yesterday afternoon. Her car was found in a parking garage downtown. It’s a clean slate, Mr Bran. It’s like she just… vanished,” the other detective said.I stopped pacing, the words hitting me with the force of a physical blow. A clean slate, the phrase echoed the emptiness I felt inside. I ran a hand through my hair, my mind racing, desperately searching for some forgotten detail, some insignificant clue I might have overlooked.Then, a flicker. A memory, so small and ridiculous, had been buried beneath my panic.An act out of fea

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE

    *BRAN’S POV*I didn’t know what else to do, but then I remembered that Tessa mentioned Sophia was going to meet up with Henna. I immediately brought out my phone and dialled Henna’s and it rang the first time, second, and she picked up on the third.“Bran!…… I didn’t think you would call me,” Henna said, a smile playing on her lips.“Where is Sophia? Where is my wife!?” I said, the tone on the last words rose.“I don’t understand… why would you be asking me about your wife’s whereabouts? She is a full-grown adult, call her and ask her where she is,” Henna said over the phone.“She was supposed to meet with you, you sent her a message saying you wanted to make up with her, and now she is nowhere to be found……where is Sophia!? Where did you take her!?” I yelled over the phone.“Funny how she goes missing and all fingers are pointing at me… she said she wanted nothing to do with me or our father, so why would I send her a message and tell her I wanted to make up?” Henna continued to lie.
