“I don't want to repeat myself. Now switch over to video call. I want to see her face,” their boss ordered. He made some threats that got through their thick skin and panicked them. They know too well not to get in his way. Immediately, they switched over to video call to capture Ciara's face. “Where's the captive?” The boss asked. He doesn't want to believe that his eyes were leading him in the right direction. “She's the one, Boss,” Ghost responded in a faint tone, while the tiger stayed calm to observe the situation. He already envisaged the punishment that awaits him should the Boss start asking questions about Ciara's well-being. “I doubt.She can't be the one. What the heck happened?” The boss asked. At that point, Tiger was trying to shy away from the conversation. He was hoping the ground would open and swallow him up.He hasn't messed with the boss before. Countless times, he has witnessed the boss stabbing people like it's nobody's business. Now he's scared that h
“Give me one reason I shouldn't hit her right now,” Tiger confronted the ghost with a daring look. He was already getting closer to Ciara as he prepared his punch. “Honestly, absolutely nothing. I tried my best to protect her from fury. But it seemed like she was a hard nut to crack. I'm just going to let you do your thing,” Ghost surrendered to a defeat. He stepped aside to let Tiger take charge of the situation. After hearing the threat from Tiger, Ghost would rather not step on the toes of their boss. He had a terrible experience in Sweden nearly a decade ago. The last thing he would want for himself is to go through that phase again. “Please don't hurt me. I promise to seal my lips,” Ciara pleaded as she edged backwards to avoid the wavy punch from the tiger. She had to abort the mission of trying to evade Tiger's rage.It didn't occur to Ciara that her movement might have been limited. “Perhaps, you'd get it right the next time,” Tiger roared as he made wicked laughter.
“Where am I?” Ciara asked herself rhetorically as the voice echoed back to her. Her vision became blurry as she opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room all alone. Her hands and legs were tied as she sat on the ground. She could hear those funny sounds emanating from her head. It got to a point where she got scared that her head might explode due to the sharp pain she felt. “Ouch, my head hurts,” she wept. Since her hands were tied together, she found it difficult to caress her head and ease the pain. “Hello, is anyone here? Please come to my rescue. I don't want to die,” Ciara cried her eyes out as she called for help. She racked her head to recall the last thing that happened and how she found herself inside the dark room, but to no avail. She couldn't even think straight to save her life. It was at that point that it dawned on Ciara that she might have been abducted. She screamed, wailed, and did all crazy stuff to get the attention of everyone around, but it wasn
The moment of truth was, however, ruined after the emergence of that doctor and some other nurses. The presence of the doctor thrilled Dexter and Kelly. They had been seeking for means to stop George from spilling the family's history, and they finally found one; the doctor. “Oh my goodness,”George fumed. Immediately, he saw the Doctor. He was starting to believe that Dexter might have alerted the doctor to show up in the ward. It wasn't a coincidence that the doctor showed up shortly after Dexter pleaded with his Father not to speak up "Did I interrupt anything? You seemed so disturbed,' the Doctor asked George. "Apparently, yes. The truth is…' George was about to speak up when Romeo stepped up. “Never mind, doctor. It's nothing for you to worry about.” He drifted the Doctor's attention away from the actual discourse. “If you insist, I'll drop it,” the doctor agreed. “Thank you. Now let's dive into the reasons we are here. How's my son? I want to believe the surgery was
“They're not picking up our calls. Is it something for us to be worried about? What do we do now?” Kelly panicked. It was the third time the kidnapper had refused to respond to the call. This made Kelly more scared. He can't help but think of negative things. “What if they have done something terrible to hurt my daughter?” Kelly asked everyone. He has suddenly forgotten what it feels like to be optimistic. “Please don't say that. How did you even harbour such horrible thoughts in your head?” Romeo quickly stepped in to calm the situation. “That shouldn't be your question right now. Presently, we have to stay positive. Have you forgotten what they said about the power of the tongue?Do I need to also remind you that the wall has ears?" Romeo added. “Oh, please spare me those motivational quotes,” Kelly pulled himself away from George. Despite how relieved George sounded, it didn't seem like it sank into Kelly's mind. “We need to involve the police.” Kelly decided after sulk
“I just got a text that my daughter has been abducted,” Kelly revealed with trembling lips. He had lost total control of himself. He wasn't conscious of what was happening around him anymore. He never felt the same again. It was as though a part of his body had been taken away from him. “Ciara has been abducted? How's that even possible?” George became furious and confused. He didn't even know how to approach the situation. “See this,” Kelly said as he handed the phone to George. His lips were too heavy to be moved. He figured it would make so much sense if George could read the text himself. “We have your daughter. If you want to see her again, you have to cough out fifty thousand dollars,” George read the texts to everyone present in the ward. “This is nonsense. We need to involve the police immediately,” Dexter fumed. That was the first time he ever spoke since Kelly received the disturbing texts. The only people who didn't participate in the discourse were Nancy and R
