KAYLA POV

Reminding myself about yesterday's dinner will be a salt added to my injury. Hunter has been a great friend which I would move forward with. But, I can't realize the secret affairs and relationship with Lucas.

To me, I couldn't imagine that Hunter would take the step to further this relationship. I see why he acts with demure when I am around with him. My inner tingling couldn't detect that move. I have been through a lot in terms of love or romance.

While swimming in the world of thoughts, I had to snap out to reality to prepare for work. After preparation, I ordered an Uber which transported me to Benta's & co. As usual, my colleagues are busy setting up as the business day is about to commence.

I didn't expect someone I declined to be at his usual spot.

"Good morning Her Royal Highness", Hunter began his usual teasing as I was surprised that my mood was at as usual instead of being sad at yesterday's scenario.

"Good morning to you, Hunter", I responded

    LUCAS POV After the call, I was thrown into deep confusion as I didn't know what to do. The first option for me was to cuddle Naomi and make sure she's alright before any other actions. I was confused that my face muscle was in a short term war with each other. "It's gonna be alright", I tried to comfort Naomi as I held her to my side. "But how is it gonna be ok? The call has said it all and determines the outcome of the dice", she said while amidst sobs which felt uncontrollably."They might have the upper hand but I'll make sure that the hands will be brought down and cut off entirely", I whispered to her as I held her close to me. She was getting calm as the minutes passed by. Honestly, it wasn't easy for me but the emotions of a man have to be controlled by himself. "Since my daughter isn't returned by these culprits, then how about the ransom paid?" She said and I remembered the arrangements of her dark alleys and the signs I was given there. With that, I left the car and pro

    LUCAS POV My alarm has a job to do and it executes it perfectly. At the designated time, it rang and it woke me up gradually.The morning came in exposing its twilight. I had a mission to carry out before 5am; paying the ransom and rescuing Kayla. I decided to do it the civil way to maintain my status in the business world. After the mysterious call from the kidnappers we had yesterday, I have to abide by the rules so that I can get Kayla back. But, Naomi and Zack insisted that I should be with the security agencies as backup and executioner of the final plan. For me, I didn't want to do it that way but I had to let my guard down because of the duo.Then, I got the money ready and alerted the cops about the mission. Since they were deployed to the compound a day before, they had to prepare for the operation. With that, I instantly dressed up and left the room I was given only to see Naomi and Zack already dressed up. "What are y'all doing here. I thought I was the only person to exe

    KAYLA POV After eating the supply they brought since I was desperately hungry, I sat back on the bed feeling clueless. How can I escape this lonely and boring room? Different plans began to hatch in my head but it was all fantasy because I couldn't see the possibilities. The door and window are perfectly shut and sealed. Access to the cellular network and social media has been cut off from this room leaving me with a bed, table and some other offline accessories. The noticeable one is the TV which is just programmed to one channel only. It felt depressing as the minutes and hours went by. I don't know if it was a deliberate act meant to bore me until death. I tried sleeping but my peace of mind couldn't give me such freedom. As such, I had no option to fix my eyes on that TV. While staring emotionless at that screen, my mind drifted back to my last experience with my mum. Immediately, a deep sense of guilt and regret flows me and it manifests as tears. Even if I was distant from h

    NAOMI POVLeaving them there was something I think I should do at that moment. The suppressing weight of that silence tried to bring back my past to me as it was being recorded. Strolling down to the kitchen, I realized I was clueless about what I was supposed to cook. The sense of uneasiness rushed down on me, that I was visibly shaking and sweating. My mind took me back to the last day I saw them after that misunderstanding. "Was that the last sight of her?" "Will I ever see her again in this life?" These thoughts and many others were just flowing like a river. I snapped back to reality when someone touched my shoulder. On looking back, I realized it was Lucas who had walked in but I didn't hear his movement due to deep thoughts. "I don't need to ask you if you are alright. Pls I won't risk losing you at this critical time", he said as he moved closer to me. At that moment, I decided to let it all out. With that, I buried my face on his shoulders and let out my emotions in tears.

    KAYLA POV If I can recall anything, it was being caged into this room. After being locked up here, the abductors came in to play their dirty game and still outsmarted me. The environment still had the resemblance of what I saw before falling asleep. I slowly stood up and sat on the bed trying to think afresh. "If this wasn't a mistake, then why are these abductors acting weird around me?" "Or was I just here to serve a cruel punishment or ...?" These questions keep rushing in like an enraged flood. If this was anything I didn't think of, I think it should be an escape. Hence, I surveyed the room quickly to find out it only has a door and no window for ventilation. Good enough, the artificial ventilation in the room was still running normally. I slowly rise up from the bed to my feet. I moved towards the door. I yanked it with my reserving energy but it didn't move. At a point, I was just disappointed at myself for bringing up such an idea. I went back dejected and sat on the bed.

    ZACK POV Noticing the empty office of the active admins, I knew something was wrong. From inception, before I was brought on board in this company, a record was shown that Kayla is one of the active admins so far. I immediately reached out to my phone and dialed Kayla. After a try, her phone was switched off. Having a dead battery, especially for someone like her, is just weird. Since my father was present at his table, I called him and he responded after a few seconds. "Hello, Dad", I opened the conversation after he responded from the other end. "Zack, what's the issue over there?" "I didn't see you or Kayla in the office. I The thing I wanted to submit the report meant for my department, I explained as he was still from the other side. I heard sobs from the other end, which made me alert that something had gone wrong. "I just heard sobs in the background. What's going on, Dad?" My curiosity kicked in and was at its peak at that moment. A brief hesitation was between us, which
