Soon we were done eating then the door opened we both look towards the door oh crap its Emma."Niki back so soon... Stevie? What the hell are you doing here?" she asks in shock.

Chapter 23 – The Rivers family…Niklaus JacobsPOVIt has been two months and Lina and I were finally back in the States. Being away has been amazing being just the two of us.In the two months I’ve instructed my employees to start buying shares in the Rivers shipping company and also robbing them or their clients but I've heard nothing from them or even from Kaylah I've just arrived back into the country Zelina and I spent these two months in France, Laon on our honeymoon, it was amazing not having to care about people seeing us... I had to rush back to the office for an important Board meeting… My father would not attend that for me, so I had no choice but to return to work two hours after my jet landed.After the board meeting, I went to my office. I have not been in the office for two months and it showed. No one was allowed in my office, not even the cleaning staff while I was gone. The staff were still busy cleaning out my office I let them. I phoned my wife and heard if she got
Chapter 24 – Melina GreenZelina JacobsPOVWe arrived in LA this morning, Niklaus went to the office, and I came straight home. I took a quick nap, Niklaus woke me when he called to check on me. when he told me he was staying at work to catch up on all the things he missed while being away I came up with an idea. I still have a week off work so I have nothing to do at home so I decided I should cook him something for lunch... I wanted to surprise him, so I did not tell him I will surprise him... I checked what was in the fridge..."Madam what are you doing?"I looked up Butler Wilson was standing there with two of the Chefs"Oh urh... I want to cook some lunch for Mr. Jacobs" I inform them before going back to looking what we had."Madam, let us cook for him... Master won't be happy if you cook." The chef said hurrying over to me."No, it’s okay... I want to cook for my husband!" I shake my head"But Madam, Master..." The chef looked at me scared.I roll my eyes. They act as if Nikla
Chapter 25 – Zelina is missingNiklaus JacobsPOVThe next day“Bruce, we need set up a meet with the Wilsons they have been sending in the wrong material for months. It is a waste of my damn time and money.” I say frustratedly when I see the complaint from one of my employees.The Wilson’s provide building material for us and for the last three months we are had to send back the material they have delivered because it is not up to code. I have given them time to fix whatever issues they have been dealing with, but it is delaying my employees and working on my damn nerves. After the morning I have had with the board I am not in the mood to be messed with.“Yes sir. Mr. Rivers has called he wants to meet with you to come up with a partnership.” Bruce informs meI shake my head. “I am not interested. Ignore all future calls from that family. Not one of them are allowed in the building do you hear me?” I narrow my eyes at himHe nods. “Of course, sir. Moving on you have a meeting with Mr
Chapter 26 - TakenZelina JacobsPOVThis morning I woke up Niklaus was gone I asked the chefs to prepare lunch for him, I want to surprise him by showing up and spending an hour with him before I go to work next week.The chefs prepared Niklaus’s favorites, and I am so excited for him to try them. I have recently realized how much having Niklaus means to me. I seek out his comfort during tough times. I do not know if I love Niklaus, but I know I have strong feelings for him. I know I want to be a good wife for him, I want to better myself to be the wife he needs.I called an Uber. During the drive I could not help recalling all the good memories Klaus and I have shared since we have been married. I have shared a lot of my firsts with him. I have never felt this way about anyone before. My head starts spinning, I run my hand over my face to keep myself from falling over. I feel exhausted all of a sudden. I am struggling to keep my eyes open. I somehow dosed off.When I woke up, I look
Chapter 27 – Looking for ZelinaOn the other side of town in the GreathouseNiklaus JacobsPOV"Niki found something" Catherine said"What?" I turn to her."It seems like the money came from an offshore account it leads back to a Henry Gold" Catherine says. I lean over her shoulder to see what she is found.I sigh closing my eyes. I was hoping he would not do this. "Dammit I didn't think he would actually be this stupid..." I open my eyes. I narrow them in the distance. I pick up my phone from the table and call Bruce"Sir?" he answers on the first ring."I want to see Gold Corp bankrupt by the morning!" I put the phone down... I bite my lip, thinking. Bruce could do it. GC is a small company it could take him two hours if he really tried."I can try and see where the Uber driver is now then let second uncle handle the rest?" Catherine suggests"Yes... If the time comes, I might need a fake name to save her... I need you to set that up as well. One more thing I need you to check who
Chapter 28 – Finding her"Wait I think I found where they might be holding her. I narrowed it down to one place. I have calculated the distance from the airport, and the café. I found a place they might be hiding her; it is near the airport and also near the cafe" I said..."Where? Get uncle to go over at once..." Alexis asks"It’s an abandoned motel called Jump it... It is a three-story building" I turn my laptop so she could see.Catherine looks at the screen before narrowing her eyes at me. "You want to go by yourself?"I sigh, she knows me so well. I nod. "I need to make sure she's safe Catherine""Nick its dangerous" Catherine sighsI shake my head. There was no way I was going to let anyone but me get my wife. "I have to make sure she's safe..." I stress"Second Uncle will make sure she's safe, he's done this a million times..." Catherine says"I don't care if he has done this a million times, I want to see my wife safe, and she'll be safe when I'm there"She shakes her head, pi
