Ricardo hailed a cab and made his way to the local police station. The police were taken aback when they saw him, but they sent him to the interrogation room, not as a suspect but as a witness. A few hours later, after answering all of their questions and without leaving any stone unturned, he walked out the door of the police station and headed straight to his apartment, which was cordoned off by yellow police tapes.
He stepped into their bedroom, avoided glancing at their bed, and then picked up his phone and debit card before walking to his garage.He slipped into one of his cars and sped out, all the while dialing a phone number."Hello." Into the phone, a feminine voice said."I'm Ricardo." He stated, his voice as icy as ever.For a few seconds, there was a long, awkward pause before the feminine voice replied. "Yes?""Your friend is sick. She's at a hospital." He answered."What have you done to her?" The feminine voice asked, her loathing foTwo days later, Lisa sluggishly opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings to ascertain her whereabouts, and Summer's face began to take shape in her vision.When she saw Summer, she immediately thought to herself, "I'm dreaming." Because the last time she and Summer had seen or talked to each other was the day she and Summer had clashed over Ricardo's true identity."Summer?" She spoke gently to the laughing figure in her vision."Yeah." Summer replied, heavinga relived sigh. "It's me, Lisa. How are you feeling? Let me go get the doctor."She grabbed Summer's wrist before she could walk away and asked weakly. "What is going on? Where am I?""It's a long story but thank Heavens you're alive. Let me go and get the doctor.""Doctor? Where am I?" She questioned again, looking around the room."In a hospital." Summer replied while attempting to walk away."Am I about to give birth?"Summer's heart sank when she heard this, and she had t
Standing in front of room 304, Lisa breathed a deep sigh, not trying to grimace in pain as she did.She took a few seconds to read the number on the door before deciding to knock.Knock. Knock.No one answered, but she got a strong feeling that someone was inside the room, so she knocked again.Ricardo walked up to the door and peered through the peep hole to see who was knocking. When he realized who it was, a wave of rage swept through him, and he opened the door."What are you doing here?" As soon as he stepped through the door, he asked coldly.Lisa flinched as Ricardo's cold blue eyes met hers, and she immediately summoned her stubborn side to take control.Her stubborn side suddenly took over, shrugging away all the coldness in Ricardo's eyes."To talk to you Mr. CEO." She replied."I don't want to talk to you.""However," she said, raising the envelope in her hand, "I want to talk to you about this.""You still need to be
When Timothy arrived at the port, he quickly packed his truck, grabbed his small bag, and got out of the car, praying that he hadn't made a mistake.After completing all boarding procedures, he began walking towards the ship, completely unaware that a man in black was keeping an eye on him.With lightning speed, the man in black went closer to Timothy and pulled a small, sharp knife that looked like a pen, cutting through his stomach in a single motion.Timothy Freeman felt a searing pain in his stomach, and he immediately put his hands on it, attempting to figure out what was wrong."Blood," he mumbled as he looked down at his hands, which were covered in his own blood.His legs began to shake and his vision grew blurry as he looked around, attempting to figure out who had done this to him while wincing in pain.Within seconds, he was on his knees, grasping his stomach, and he couldn't make out any more images.No! In fear of dying, he thought. Tr
Ricardo connected his chilly, melancholy, and curious eyes with Mr. Wu's as he entered his hotel room and said. "What exactly were you talking about?"Getting to his feet, Mr. Adrian Wu headed toward the corner of his room where a board had been set up with many photographs pinned to it and numerous drawn arrows connecting one picture to the next.He pointed to a picture of a man with an extremely flat jawline, beady eyes, and a straight mouthache and said, "Him."Ricardo looked at the man with a look of complete incredulity on his face and said, "Go straight to the point, Adrian.""This investigation is just as important to you as it is to me. I've been working nonstop on this case, depriving myself of sleep, food, and the pleasures of women. I've been working on this case for 10 years in the hopes of discovering what I've been missing, and just a few months ago, I began an even more thorough investigation into him.""Kim?"Mr. Wu replied with a nod of
Timothy Freeman slid open the van door, nodded to his colleagues, who were still seated in the car, put on a wireless earpiece, and closed the van after getting a text from Mr. Kim a few minutes earlier.One of Timothy Freeman's coworkers had already hacked the neighborhood's CCTV cameras, and they all watched as Timothy Freeman, with the help of Mr. Kim, entered the Kincaid's property.Two minutes later, Timothy Freeman was in front of Ricardo's apartment, and cracking Ricardo's password was not a difficult task for him.He walked in and went right to the kitchen, taking out all the cups and putting two drops of an unknown drug into each one before putting them back in their places.Then he went into the dining room, where he placed a camera in a flower vase that was strategically placed in one corner of the room before heading out the door.He and his team had been waiting all day and were overjoyed when Ricardo and Ellen started eating, but they stopped s
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Lisa questioned, her brows raised in concern."Susan is at the hospital," he said as he turned to face her. "I'm sure the news came as a shock to her."Lisa sighed, gently pushed herself out of bed, and said. "I'll go with you.""But...""Shhhh...I've got this." With a shrug of her shoulder, "I'm strong enough to even go back home. I'm not sure why they haven't discharged me yet."She walked up to Summer and gave her a bear embrace. "Thank you for everything you've done. I love you."Summer wrapped her in a bear hug, tears welling up in her eyes as she did. "I love you as well.""You should go home right now; I'll come around when I'm strong enough."Summer smiled cautiously and nodded.≈"I'm here to see Susan Kincaid." To the nurse in charge, Ricardo said.The nurse looked down at the computer in front of her, typed in a few letters, then looked up.Ricardo and Lisa hurriedly board
Ricardo opened his mouth as he focused his hard gaze on Susan and stated, "Apologies, baby sister, but I'm afraid I can't let this go. I can't fucking let this go!"He walked out of the room without looking back and neither was he aware of Lisa running after him. He slid inside his car and as he was ready to start his car, the passenger's door opened and Lisa slipped inside the car."You should have stayed with her." He said as he started the car and accelerated out of the parking lot."I... I want..." Lisa stumbled over her words, unsure of what to say."You don't trust me?""I trust you but... you are upset right now and I'm afraid you might hurt him.""No one, not even you, can stop me from hurting him.""Ricardo.""Now is not the time to Ricardo me.""No one, including you and Susan, will benefit from your being imprisoned. Neither Susan nor I want that for you, and I'm sure you don't want that for yourself either."Ricardo said as he slowed his car
"Ell...Ell" he stammered as he felt the cold metal on his wrists, and before he could say anything else, he was roughly pushed out of his apartment into the cold night and into one of their cars. * Lisa Thompson sluggishly sat up on her bed and turned on her laptop. She clicked on her G***l app and went through her emails. All of a sudden, her eyes caught a message, and she hurriedly clicked on the message with her heart beating hard."Yes" she said happily with her eyes closed tight, her fists clenched and her elbows bent.Lisa was beyond happy, and she still found it unbelievable that Megabiz Inc. had chosen her out of all the applicants that had applied for the post of managing director's secretaryship.She opened her eyes a few seconds later and went through the message again in order to confirm that her eyes hadn't played her.After going through the message again, she jumped out of her bed and ran to the room next to hers."Summer!" She shouted a
