LOGINAdrain stared at the bracelet in the evidence bag.His eyes immediately shifted towards the mansion.“Elara”.Without uttering another word, Adrain ran towards where Elara had been.Alex followed behind closely and the guards spread across the estate.The front door burst open, Adrain took the first staircase, two steps at a time.“Elara”. But there wasn't any response.His heartbeat quickened immediately.He reached the study room and pushed the door opened violently but there was no one in the room.His breathing practically stopped.The chair where she had been sitting had been knocked over.“Sir! One of the guards pointed outside. “There”.A man's figure was seen running towards the garden with someone over his shoulder.Elara.Adrain eyes darkened. The intruder had wrapped one arm around her waist while the other tightly held a folded clothes on her mouth to stop her from yelling.She struggled kicking her legs as she tried to free herself but the man's grip was too strong for he
The SUV remained parked at the corner,it's car light were off and the engine too was turn off.The man inside the car just turn on the binoculars and waited. Few seconds later his phone vibrated.“I'm watching the estate”. He spoke immediately he picked up the call.The person from the other end spoke for few minutes.He nodded . “I understand,no mistakes”.He looked back toward the mansion.The bedroom light on the second floor was still on.His lips curved into a faint smile."Let's see how long your bodyguards can protect you.”Inside the vale estate Elara couldn't sleep she has tried to but still couldn't.She closed her eyes several times but anytime she does. Unclear images appears. Unfamiliar dreams flashes through her mind.Rain, a pair of hands, someone calling her name them darkness.She sighed and threw the blanket aside.The clock on the bedside table read 11: 47pm.Too restless to remain in bed,she slipped on a cardigan and went towards the hallway.The mansion was almost
Lydia lowered the phone slowly and a satisfying smile appeared on her lips and it disappeared just as quickly.The doctor had told her to avoid anything stressful that period since the coming of her baby is near,so she had resolved to using people instead.She really wants to quickly have her baby so she can really fight for what she claims belongs to her.She's already also planning on how to deal with Victor's parents over the property that was supposed to be transferred to her son.But since everything is becoming too dangerous for a new born baby which will soon come to the world and fighting two battles were too much for a heavily pregnant woman.She didn't mind at first until she started having complications before she decided to wait until she delivered her baby.She didn't want to ask Denver for help because she already knows how he is with things like that so she decided to handle it herself.She must get everything,she desired that was her goal. Elara seems to be always fla
The smell of smoke lingered long after the flames had been extinguished.Adrian stood behind the yellow barricade, his black coat soaked by the water firefighters had sprayed across the ruins. The three-story apartment building was nothing but a charred skeleton now. Smoke still curled lazily into the gray afternoon sky.Alex walked over with a firefighter."They've searched the entire building."Adrian didn't take his eyes off the wreckage. "And?"The firefighter removed his helmet and sighed. "We recovered four bodies."Adrian finally looked at him."But none can be identified until the forensic team finishes their work. The fire destroyed almost everything.""What caused it?""We can't say yet,but...the firefighter paused."It doesn't look accidental."Adrian's jaw hardened.Someone had gotten here first.Someone had erased the evidence.He looked at the burned building one last time before turning away. "Let's go.”The hospital was unusuay quiet when Adrain returned.The afternoo

Alex's words hung in the air. "It belongs to Carlos Osei."Adrian stared at him.For a moment,neither of them spoke."The driver?"Alex nodded."The forensic report came in a few minutes ago."Adrian took the phone from Alex's hand and read through every message himself.Blood type.DNA match.Identity confirmed.Carlos Osei."So he was there.""Yes.""And someone injured him."Alex nodded."Which means he didn't simply disappear,He was taken."Adrian's eyes grew darker. "Or rescued."...Back in Elara's room, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed.Her thoughts refused to calm down.She replayed everything that had happened since she woke up.Jeremy.The doctors.Lydia.Adrian.Each of them told her pieces of a life she couldn't remember.But only one person made her heart restless.Adrian.She sighed softly. "Who are you..."The question escaped her lips again,this time no one answered.A gentle knock came from the door.Jeremy entered carrying a small paper bag. "I brought fruit.""You
The cafe Lydia chose was small and quiet. Lydia was already there when she arrived,seated at a corner with her coat still on and a coffee in front of her.Her face was carefully composed and her eyes lit up immediately she sighted Elera across the room.She stood as Elara walked up to her.“Thank y
In his armsShe was almost asleep.She was warm and comfortable with her head on his shoulder and his hands over hers.The evening had been long and she was drifting away slowly towards the edge of sleep.She felt him shift.Not much.Just slightly.His shoulder moved under her head,and she stayed
They got home by past ten.The house was quiet and calm.Elara slipped off her shoes at the entrance,and carried it inside. Her feet were finally free.Her dress was worth it,but the shoes made it a long evening.Adrain came in after her,and took off his jacket hanging it by the door.Then rolling
It started with a phone call.Elara was in the hallway putting on her shoes when she heard Adrian's voice from behind his office door.Low and even, the way it always was when he was talking about business. She didn't pay it much attention. His work calls were frequent and she had learned not to
