“What do you mean by Sydney is now missing?” I asked, terrified at what I'm hearing from Lydia.“I went to the restroom and saw her purse on the floor with her phone inside,” Lydia said.“How is that even possible? If someone had taken her, wouldn't they have to pass through here in order to get to the gate?” I asked curiously.Aiden shook his head, “No. There is a back gate that is closer to the restroom but it has not been used for years. It should be rusted by now and covered with creeping grasses.”“There is only one way to find out. Aiden, you will have to show us this back gate,” I said.Aiden nodded without hesitation. He too looked concerned about Sydney's sudden disappearance. My heart was beating fast as I followed Aiden to wherever the back gate was. We reached there and to our horror, it was broken. The kidnappers must have escaped from there.Lydia broke down in tears. “How could this happen again? I promised to always keep my eyes on her and I failed!”I helped Lydia up.

** Max **“Jordan, get the team ready. We have a more important task to get done,” I said sternly.“What's going on?” Jordan asked.“Sydney Talker has been kidnapped again right under our noses,” I replied.“This is becoming serious. We have to do something about it but what is the next step that you want to take? I and the team are ready to cover any expenses,” Jordan said.“We are going to storm the Talker's mansion and interrogate every household in that family. Anyone who is susceptible to the events that happened to Sydney Talker will be arrested immediately and tortured until he or she spills the tea about Sydney's whereabouts,” I said.It was not only Spencer that was in rage about what happened to Sydney. I am also angry at whoever that tried to pull this game up for the second time, it was absurd and annoying. But this time, I'm determined to get to the root of the matter. Sydney is a woman with a good heart, no matter the outcome of the things that she has been through in l

“Spencer, what the hell is wrong with you?” Max asked when he had pulled me out of there.I wiped off the beads of sweat on my face. It was as if I was trying to recollect my thoughts back. When I was inside there, I had absolutely lost control and didn't know what I was doing. I can't even believe that I hurt Andrea to that extent, it wasn't intentional but I was not in control of myself.“Max, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't understand why I lost control earlier,” I replied honestly.I had never seen myself in such a rage before and this was because of Sydney's Kidnapping… What would happen if I eventually lost her?. There will be chaos and burning hell in this city.“You have to learn how to control your emotions especially when you are in rage. What you did to Andrea was terrible and might give people a different perspective about who you truly are. I know that you are angry because Sydney was kidnapped but you have to remember that if you're not calm, you are nowhere cl

I clenched my fists in anger as I entered the empty building where Sydney was being kept in the meantime. This was supposed to be the best time to lure Spencer here and complete the mission but I'm beginning to doubt that doing that immediately would be the best thing to do.My phone rang, it was old man Lee that was calling me. He was damn thirsty for blood and torture that's why he wants me to hurt Sydney so that Spencer's emotional side will be triggered badly.But Sydney is not just any woman, she's pregnant with a child, and hurting her would be the most inhumane thing to do. Spencer would surely kill me if he found out that I hurt Sydney or I was the one behind the kidnap.“Well, are you going to pick up the call or not?” Tessa asked me.My anger increased as her annoying voice rang in my head but I had to suppress it because it wasn't the right time yet. I have to get the power that I long for first before getting her out of my way. In the meantime, I have to tolerate her annoy

I watched from a dark corner as Joyceline waited for Alan in the hallway. My phone was already on sound recording so that the evidence of Alan's confession would be recorded. I don't know how Joyceline wants to pull this off, but I'm hoping that it is going to work out. I needed my mother to be free and also Sydney too. And if it turns out that Alan was truly the one who helped them, I would make sure that he is punished severely for what he did.Few minutes after we waited for him to come along, Alan showed up. He was probably on his way to his room. He stopped a few steps away from Joyceline and folded his arms.“What are you doing here?” He asked.“I'm here to reason with you about something important,” Joyceline replied.Alan scoffed, ‘’And what could that be?”“What else is it going to be about? I want to hear from you how you saw Andrea making unusual calls in this house,” she said.“I don't have time for this banter with you. I've already explained it to them and I'm not going
