KACE’S POVI sighed and placed my hands on Akimbo. But just when I wanted to walk to my car and drive home. I heard Drake's voice behind me.“ Ace. Where were you throughout the meeting? “ Drake asked as I turned to see him standing behind me with my foster mother. I decided to refer to her as my foster mother after the act she put up today. A real woman with the heart of motherhood would never do that to a child she raised and called her own.“ It doesn’t concern you. Now let’s go “ My foster mom said and glared at me before walking towards Drake's car.It didn't bother me because I wasn’t gonna explain myself to them anyway. My eyes trailed her as she walked away and I caught a glimpse of the new car that she got into.Wow, they even came in the same car and I noticed that the car was brand new. Well, that’s not bad because Drake had finally gotten a new car like he always desired.But before Drake would walk away following my foster mother, I saw a look of regret on his face and h

KACE’S POV“ Anyway I have news that would lighten your moods, because I’m sure the reason that brought you all here like Mrs. Adele just said, is a good mood spoiler, “ Brandon said and we all curiously looked at him waiting for the good news he had to tell us. “ Well, go on with it “ Tess was the one who spoke this time around, urging Brandon to speak. She took this matter seriously because she knew it would redeem her company's image and name.“ I'm very close to finding out the name of the account holder that all the money that has been embezzled is being kept. At first, I was able to hack into it, but was met with a strong firewall that I have never seen or heard of before. The firewall must have been built specially for that particular purpose. Now I have got a way to breach the firewall “ Brandon said with a grin on his face as he looked at us.“ Really? That's great news. So how long do we have to wait? “ I asked him and he grinned more.“ That's the interesting part. Normall

TESSA’S POV“ If you want to get your mom alive, do as I say. Feel free to contact the police if you wish, but they’ll never find us. So it's your choice “ The message read.I gasped when I read the message and began crying again. What I dreaded the most was to ever experience a kidnap. That shit is so scary and now my mom was a victim.“ What the fuck!! These kidnappers are getting bold nowadays. How can they say we should feel to inform the police '' Brandon complained and Kace's face hardened as he clenched his fists.“ You all have to calm down and let's find a possible solution to this or better still less negotiate with them, “ Brandon said.“ Babe, reply to the text and ask them how much they want. I'll pay any amount they mention. Even though it means I'll have to sell our house and we'll move back into the manor “ Kace said as he used his palm to clean the tears on my face.I sobered up when it dawned on me that if I continued acting weak and wallowing in guilt, that wouldn't

KACE’S POV“ I don't understand, how were you the last person that saw him? “ I asked curiously.“ Okay let me explain it to you from the beginning, “ Mr Black said and cleared his throat before he began to speak.“ William Montgomery was my friend from college days. Although we didn't hang out together more often because I was from a poor background and ashamed to be seen with a rich kid like him. But he often told me his secret and things bothering him “ He said and paused, adjusting his seating posture before he continued.“ Even when he wanted to ask Adele out, he came to me telling me he couldn't because William was naturally a shy person. I urged him to do so. We graduated from college and they got married, he took over his family company. “ Mr. Black paused and took a sip of coffee that was on the table before continuing.“ One day William called me and told me that someone had been stealing from his company and they couldn't trace the person. I told him to come and report the

TESSA’S POVWhen I entered the hospital room expecting to see my mother-in-law, Drake, and Triss seated in the room watching my father-in-law. I found out that they weren't there.“ Wait, Even his wife could not come and stay with him? “ Eliana asked as she looked at my father-in-law with pity.“ I’m as surprised as you are, “ I said as I looked at my father-in-law lying in the bed still in a vegetative state. I felt sorry for him because he was a very nice man. He didn’t deserve to be treated like this.A nurse walked in at that moment with some liquid drugs and began to inject them into the IV fluid that was connected to his arms.“ Excuse me nurse “ I called out to her to get her attention and she looked at me.“ Has anyone been with him since last night? “ I asked her wanting to find out the truth because she was assigned to him, she’ll know if someone had been here or not.“ No one has been here. I was beginning to wonder where his family members are “ The nurse replied and left
