"He was kidnapped, right?"Atlas would have punched Asher if this weren't in public, and Regina was holding his hand tightly."Your mother worked with someone to kidnap my child?" Regina growled in disgust. "Who was that person?"Asher shook his head. "I don't know. She just said she was entrusted with taking care of your child by the kidnapper. But she'll free your child when the kidnapper is off guard, as long as you pay her.""Asher, has your mother lost her mind?" Regina asked, confused. "She wasn't that bad when I was your wife. She was rude and greedy, but she wasn't this crazy."Asher sighed wearily. He stroked his thigh where the prosthetic leg was attached. It hurt."I don't know," Asher said. "I have to admit that since she was born, she came from a wealthy family, an o
Asher's PoV"Mom?"I opened the door in surprise and saw my mother standing strangely in front of my apartment. I mean, the apartment Janus and Olivia were sharing the rent for, while I was just a lodging.I've been looking for my own apartment, but haven't found a suitable one yet. Given my current situation, I don't need a large apartment; a one-bedroom studio will do, so the price won't be too high.I still have savings, the remnants of my salary from Samuel's company, and some of the money I earned from selling my house, even if it's just a little, after I paid off my mother's debts.But I really need to be frugal because my situation is very different now, after everything I've been through.I've already used my money to buy a prosthetic leg, and it's very expensive because I want the best model, for my comfort in my activities.Now, I'm thinking about starting work again, but not here, in this cursed city, where all my hopes and dreams have been destroyed by myself, my family, S
Regina was shaking so badly, she couldn't support herself and sat weakly on the sofa after hearing the news of Kane's kidnapping."Baby, shhh, don't cry," Atlas said coaxingly, hugging Regina tightly. "I've mobilized my men, the police are already searching, and Trevor has even hired detectives to investigate. Kane will be found soon.""He must be so scared," Regina said sadly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "He must be hungry. That kidnapper, did he torture Kane and take him for granted?"Atlas took a deep breath, trying to shake off the tightness in his own chest.Everyone was moving, joining in the search, doing everything they could to track down Kane and the man who kidnapped him.Tristan didn't leave the hospital, because he wanted Kane to be immediately sent to his hospital for evaluation if he was found.Tristan had even contacted a colleague, a psychiatrist, in case Kane was found traumatized and to manage his mental health post-kidnapping.After nearly ten hours had passed
Regina had just finished reviewing several collaboration proposals sent by one of her marketing staff when her phone rang.She saw an unknown number on the screen. Regina flipped the phone over, automatically disconnecting the call. She hated receiving calls from unknown numbers.After finishing her work, Regina turned off her laptop and picked up her phone. She saw an incoming message from the same number that had called her earlier."Regina, this is Janus. This is my new phone number, and I just want you to save it in case you need my help. I'll always be available."Regina considered Janus's message and, after a moment, decided to save the number.She didn't know what the future would hold, but who knew she might need Janus's help someday.The young man was intelligent and skilled with computers, so perhaps Regina would need his skills someday.Regina didn't want to expect anything from Janus and Olivia, but she believed that, after what they had experienced recently, they had inde
"What's your relationship with Regina Maverick?" Fredy asked, toying with the commando knife in his hand. Its sharp blade glinted in the lamplight. "You've been following her for the past two days."Magie snorted. "How did you know I was following her? Were you spying on me? Who are you? Was Regina the one who told you to catch me?"Fredy squinted, trying to carefully assess the heavily made-up middle-aged woman in front of him.He shrugged and picked up Magie's bag from the dressing table, then poured out its contents. Several lipsticks, two bottles of perfume, a wallet, a cell phone, a coin slot, some business cards, another small bag, and a small pistol lay scattered on the table.Fredy picked up the small pistol and examined it. It was a Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol, well-maintained and fully loaded."Are you planning on shooting anyone lately?" Fredy asked, grinning at Magie. He shook the pistol in his hand as if it were a child's toy.Magie squirmed, trying to untie the knots
Leika didn't know that Darren already knew about his son, whom she had never told him, and Leo's condition, and that Leika was trying to get bush around him.Atlas had already approached Darren and told him everything, prompting him to nearly explode in anger.Atlas promised him freedom and custody of his child if Darren would cooperate in trapping Leika and Samuel.Not only that, Darren was also told about Asher and what he had experienced."He must be in the same boat as me," Darren said bitterly. "Trapped by the same woman, who comes from a crazy family desperate for wealth and power like the Waldens.""You don't have to worry anymore," Atlas said. "My men have moved your mother and sister to a safer home, with 24-hour security, professional nurses on call, the best medical services, and a pension sufficient to keep you comfortable for at least the next twenty years.""I might be rotting in this prison for a mistake I never committed, if it weren't for you, Mr. Sheridan," Darren sa
