SAMANTHA'S POVI allowed George to walk me home but all I could actually think about was my home and what had become of it. I had no idea when we arrived as I kept spacing out. However, true to his words, George had not said a single word to me as we walked home and I appreciated the silence. We got to my lawn and I needed to stop him right there as I suddenly stood still not knowing actually what I was going to tell him right now. I turned to look at him as he flashed me a smile reassuringly."We're here." He said to me,"Yes. We are here." I said without emotion."Guess I would be seeing you around?" He asked, scratching his hair nervously."Perish that idea because I guess not. Goodnight, George." I said as I turned away to the walkway."Goodnight, Sam. I'll see you around regardless." He called after me."That would never happen." I stated vehemently."Never say never." He said and I continued walking away.I was tempted to actually stop and look at him but I had both my pride and
ZARA'S POVPerhaps it was time that I go check in at the hospital by myself as I could not get anything useful from across the phone. The only things being made known to the public were things the police allowed to the press which was not far from he was being taken care of and the state of his health was not going to be discussed publicly at the moment.I figured Samantha would want to know more and decided that I would dig in deeper for her sake. I made my way this morning straight to the hospital and I went to the reception.The nurse there seemed quite friendly and I smiled at her."How may we help you, ma'am?" She asked me.I feigned a pained face."I just arrived from the airport and came straight here." I began.She looked really worried for me and I was glad. Did I mention that I used to pursue the Hollywood dream?"Oh, I'm sorry about that, ma'am. What seems to be the problem? Are you okay?" She asked me."How can I be okay when mi Querida lies here and I cannot reach him. I
EMILIO'S POVI know it, everyone thinks that I am definitely the bad guy which is why I got to live to the expectations.I had actually been thinking of a way to acquire Zara from her home without having to do all the dang things in front of her kids. I could not really do that recalling what had happened back in my childhood with my mom when my father's gambling creditors had come for him. I mean, I was only six and they took all the time with my old woman but far from it would I let another kid be subjected to what I had been through.I had woken up that morning after I had smashed my phone actually and then my security personnels had something for me. Apparently, one of them had links to the airport and had deemed it fit and wise. I must commend to let a friend of his working at an airport know that my wife was being searched for. The guy handled the CCTV camera right outside the airport and he had eventually reached out to my guy. He had been promised a cash reward which my guy ha
SAMANTHA'S POVHaving the two women with me was really bringing up old memories as I watched them do their hilarious display."Seriously, you were going to kill him, Jacqueline?" Lady Florence had to ask, looking really surprised."Yes. I would have killed that bugger and buried him myself." Ma'am Jacqueline responded.Every part of her was raving with so much anger as she still was caught looking around like I could actually hide George away."Um, Auntie Jacqueline. You do realize that I'm married now and cannot play such games?" I asked her."Aye. Married to that ghost we never got to see." She said angrily as she dropped the shovel with a really loud noise and went to sit on the couch.Lady Florence of Coi followed her to reprimand her over her words."Oh, come on. You of all persons know he's probably busy. We heard he is a busy businessman." Lady Florence added."And yet, Samantha looks so unhappy." Ma'am Jacqueline could not resist dropping off the bombshell."And now you've done
EMILIO'S POV We had taken her to my boat house at the outskirts of the city where we had her all tied up. I could see the fear in her eyes as she watched me move around her from the corner of her eyes and sincerely speaking, I was amused. If she knew she would have been so afraid after being caught, what was the morale behind her aiding my wife to run away from me? I clicked my tongue at the bodyguard standing there to pass me over the chair and he brought it over to me as I unbuttoned the suit jacket and spread it out as I sat. Cannot have myself walking around with rumpled clothing now, can I? "Emilio, please let me go." She said as tears slid down her cheeks. "Let you go, that easily? Zara you stole from me and you must either return what you stole or I will make you pay for it the hard way." I said to her, "But I didn't steal....oh, Samantha." She said, realizing it. "Now, all you have to do is tell me where my wife is and we would forget we ever met up in this old annoying place.
TOM'S POV I could not understand. This was totally unlike Zara not to take her calls. It was her turn to pick the kids up from school and yet, she had not shown up. The teacher had to call me from work because she was tired of waiting for the mother and had to pull my number from the children's file and call me. I was at the office and busy with work but took permission from my boss to go see them. Upon arrival at the school, it was deserted already. I walked in through the corridors until I reached my daughter's classroom. There I met them seated together with the teacher. "Daddy!!!" They called out to me simultaneously as they ran to me. "Mr. Zaragoza." The teacher greeted me. "Thank you so much, ma'am." I said to her, "Please, you both should always come pick them up on time or have them use the school bus. What if I had left already?" She asked me. "I'm really sorry. Something came up with their mother and I totally forgot. It will not happen again." I apologized dearly although I
CAB DRIVER'S POV (Josiah) I could not believe what had happened to the lady. Clearly, she was in distress and needed help. I mean, I had just witnessed a kidnapping where my passenger had been forcefully removed from the car but then I could do nothing or say nothing. The man that had taken her away seemed to me like a very dangerous man that would not hesitate to hurt me just to put me in my place. He was dangerous and I needed no one to tell me that he would actually make use of his threat. The moment they had left, I drove away and turned into the other lane heading backwards as I found myself a spot to park in. I could not even think straight as my entire body rocked from so much fear. I sat down there and then I noticed a cop standing outside in front of the burger shop I was parked near. He had probably got his lunch there and I felt the urge and temptation to get down and tell him what had happened. I reached for the car lock and would have opened it to do the right thing. "Jos
EMILIO'S POV How had I not thought of this all along? She must have communicated Samantha with her phone and there was no way in the world that Samantha would not pick her best friend's call. Not to mention but say the least, return because she was being held captive and in distress. Zara had fainted after I had angrily smacked her across the face and I had to take her to the hospital and demand for a private ward from the doctor. It was easy to get as I had already won him over with the sob story of her being a spy of sorts and an assassin. He bought my tale hook, line and sinker as I placed my men in front of her ward also. I might have had her closely watched but I could not turn away. Knowing for a fact that she would spill the truth and find a way out of this hospital. Even if I wanted to leave, there was something else that I could not leave for and it was news from the doctor. He had brought me aside to speak to me. "What is it, doctor?" I asked him impatiently. "It's your frie
