Abigail’s POV

“Who is she on the phone with?” I muttered as I watched my laptop screen closely, trying to understand whatever conversation she had going on.

“Who are they talking about?”

“Abby..Cyrus’ here to see you” Charlie said from downstairs.

“I’ll be down soon” I answered, whilst looking at the startled Jenna, her face perplexed.

‘I’ll find your truth Jenna’ I thought to myself as I turned off my computer and went downstairs.

“Hey babe..” I said, with a smile on my lips.

“I’ve missed you” he said, pulling me close, my face buried in the thickness of his chest.

“But it’s only been a day” I said, pulling away from him a little to give my face some space so I could breathe as my arms were still wrapped on his waist.

“Well then love birds, I’ll leave you to it” Charlie said, walking out the front door.

“Thanks Charlie!” He said.

“So..did you get it?” I asked the moment Charlie had left.

“Yeah, it’s a chip that can be hardly detected but why are you keeping it a secret from Charlie

    My body felt numb, I could feel my hands tied up behind my back, my eyes felt heavy, yet, I struggled to have them open.“Wakey wakey..dear cousin” Charlie said“W..what’s going on?” I asked in a hoarse voice.“You’ve got to wake up” she said again.I felt a slap across my face, my eyes shot open. “Charlie?” I struggled to speak.“Hey Abby, you’re finally awake” she said, a smile on her lips as she took off the hoodie from her head, crouching down to meet my gaze.“What are you doing?” I asked, noticing the blood dripping from my head.“I’m just reclaiming what’s mine, the Conner Empire, Cyrus, it’s all mine and you dared to take it from me, I can’t let you have what I’m supposed to have, you’ve been stealing from me way too much” she started, standing up.“What does Cyrus have to do with all this” I asked, wincing in pain.“I’ve loved him from the very beginning but you always have to have things your own way” she said, anger in her eyes.“Why didn’t you say something? You could’ve

    “Just try to run to the bathroom, I’ll quickly close up the door” I whispered to her.The moment I unwrapped my arms around her, I rushed to the door, forcing it shut as she rushed into the bathroom.“What’s going on?” I muttered, forcing my back to the door to keep it closed.“Who on earth called reporters to our home?” I muttered under my breath.“Jenna! No wonder the house was empty when we walked in..it was indeed a trap” I said, quickly rushing to the bathroom door as I lightly tapped on the door.“Abigail, how are you coping?” I asked, I could hear light sobbing.“I’m so sorry about that..please just get some clothes and I’ll drive you home” I said, rushing back to the closet to get her some dry clothes.I took up some clothes from the closet and knocked on the door.“Abigail, I have some clothes..” I said “I’ll look away, please wear some clothes so I can take you home” I said, looking away from the door.Then I heard the door open and my hands went empty, she had taken the clo

    Abigail’s POVIt’s been weeks since I had gotten a whiff of the rumor that started years ago, I searched through the database and all records, and they all came back with the same result, the Conners being the rightful owners of the empire.‘I think I should call up Charlie and clear up the misunderstanding,’ I thought to myself when I heard her voice from my phone.I noticed it was coming from the camera set up done by Cyrus.“I’m going to make her lose Conner Empire..once she falls right into our trap” she said onto her phone.I couldn’t phantom who she could be speaking to but I had a pretty good guess.After what Damien had told me about Jenna and her plot, it had become obvious that she was in fact in cohorts with.“You need to let her get into your home, I’ll make sure she walks right into our trap” she repeated into the phone, using the voice changer which made me confirm my suspicions, Jenna had no idea who she was.“Abigail’s going to stay at your fiancé’s house, you are to o

    Damien’s POV‘Why on earth would she send a message to me like this?’ I thought to myself as I sat behind my desk.‘If she was having a fallout with her cousin, why would it affect me?’ My mind had been restless since the moment I had opened the envelope and what if she was right about us being under surveillance, then it would truly be a very disaster.I looked around the room, there was nothing that seemed out of place, the more I scanned the room, the more I doubted her words.For the whole day, I sat restless for fear of being watched but most importantly, I feared that this would cause our collaboration to take a drastic turn, she may not be as available as she was to come around and handle the work with me.After working hours, I took up my bag as it was time to get home, I wasn’t even able to accomplish much as my mind kept wandering back to Abigail and her safety.Taking my car key into my hand, I immediately got a call on my mobile, in an attempt to take my phone together wit

    I looked at the picture and the newspaper in front of me.“She forgot to burn these, didn’t she?” I muttered under my breath.“If that’s all, you can leave” Cyrus said to the staff as she quickly scurried away.I stared at the evidence that showed more of the truth. She must have hidden them and completely forgotten about it.“That was taken in spring break, years ago” Cyrus muttered, holding onto a picture of the three of us smiling together and rustled up news papers that were wrapped close to the pictures with a carving of the headline ‘THE CONNERS ARE NOT THE TRUE OWNERS OF THE EMPIRE, GIVE BACK THE COMPANY TO ELIZAR’ it read.The paper dated back to twenty years ago, I stood there, frozen, unable to understand what was happening.“My parents stole the empire?” I muttered.“Let’s not jump into conclusions Abby…it may be something else, this happened twenty years ago, it may not even be real” Cyrus said, taking the paper off my hands.“I mean we don’t know that..this may be what’s

    Jenna’s POVI had done as C had instructed, I put in a listening device in Damien’s car key very early this morning. I didn’t understand how C had gotten the package so fast and so late at night and how he knew my address but I didn’t care, if he was able to get the number on my new phone, he definitely had his means that I couldn’t question.“Ma’am” the helper called out, snapping me back to reality.“Yes” I shot her a nasty glare.“Your phone’s been ringing..I brought it down for you” she said, handing me the phone, the caller ID was unknown.I quickly dismissed her with a signal as I answered the phone call.“Have you done what I’ve asked?” C asked.“Yes” I paused to look around me, the living room was empty.“Although I haven’t been able to get any sounds from him since after I heard his car move but it seems that your fiancé has started to lose interest in you” he said.“Wh..what do you mean? What did he say?” I asked, even when deep down I knew the truth, he wasn’t as attracted
