CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

041 CALEB'S POV “Shit!!!” How could I forget that I wanted to give Joana this? I looked at the fruit basket in my car, and I didn't want to make things more awkward between us. But if I should give it to the kids, I may be able to score some points. I took the basket and got down from my car. I saw Joana walking to her car with some suspicious people at her back. The next thing I knew, they threw a black sack over her head. I hurriedly went to her rescue, but they were too quick. I was able to get the plate number of the vehicle. Sending the information to my private investigator, I phoned him, “I want to track this vehicle now.” “Clinton…” I turned, locking eyes with Peter, “where is Joana?” He had the look of terror in his eyes. I walked up to him, “I want you to be strong for the kids. No matter what happens, tell them nothing, I'll get Joanna.” He nodded softly. “Here, take this, do not, I repeat, do not frighten the kids,” I gave him the fruit basket, retu

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

042 JOANA'S POV I gasped hard, forcing my eyes open, breathing hard as my eyes checked my environment. I was home. My door slowly opened, revealing Peter with a bowl of water. “Thank goodness, you're up…” he rushed to me, keeping the bowl of water on the desk. “What happened? Where's Clinton?” “One question at a time: firstly, you were abducted; I'm sure you were aware of that; the drugs that made you unconscious for a while tampered with your nerves, and the fright made you faint.” “Clinton was the one who saved you and brought you back…” My eyes widened, “he did not bring you back to the house but to the hospital. Caleb was the one who brought you home.” I sighed softly. This was getting more intense, I really don't want to keep getting drugged. “Are you…” Caleb came in and ran to hug me. “I'll leave you to your business,” Peter said softly and left the room. “I can't… breathe,” I was choking over the tight hug. “I'm sorry, I just couldn't bring myself to

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE

043 JOANA'S POV His gaze was soft and passionate. I walked gently to the chair, far from Caleb and Clinton, who were boring holes into their bodies. “How are you feeling now?” Clinton asked softly. “I'm feeling much better. Thanks for asking.” I took a sip of water. The thick silence clouded the room. “Peter, I think it's time to take the kids inside, I, Caleb and Clinton, need to have to talk.” Peter nodded softly, taking the three kids inside the room. “Bye, Daddy…” The three of them waved their father goodbye. The room became silent for some while, no one daring to make a sound. I sighed softly. “Clinton, how did you get to find her immediately?” Caleb started with his interrogation. “I followed the vehicle that abducted her,” he said blankly. “Why didn't you stop them before she was abducted?” Caleb shot. “I could have, but I was too far from them, so I had to follow her with my car and contact the police before things worsened.” “But-” “Aren't you gl

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR

044 JOANA'S POV I went back to my cookies as Clinton left the room angrily, “man… this actually tastes nice.” Caleb forcefully took the plate from my hand, I whined, but he kissed me aggressively. He broke it, inches away from my lips, “are you done?” Caleb gritted his teeth angrily and went back to his seat. I took back the cookies, “are you jealous? We aren't a thing yet.” “You fucking kissed him,” Caleb burst out angrily, but I could only laugh. This was the first time I saw Caleb like this, I needed to savor it. “Yeah… and I also kissed you, so…” I grinned hard. “Joana, you can use me however you want but promise me one thing, that you would never go back to that monster.” “And if I do?” I tried to tease him more. “I'll lock you up in a tower where it would just be us and the kids.” “That sounds nice if you think about it,” I joked as Caleb broke out a tiny laugh. “Finally, he laughed, I never knew I would be able to see that side of you, it's more… sexy.”

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

045 CLINTON'S POV I walked into the store with Anita, and as much as I really didn't want to be there, I had promised her that I would assist her. She barely asked for anything, and shopping with her won't be too bad. After all, we were half-siblings. I caught a glimpse of what seemed to look like Joana, I ran out to check if I was seeing things, but there was nobody there. After our conversation this morning, my mind hasn't settled. “Are you okay?” Anita placed her hand softly on mine. “You look pale like you had just seen a ghost,” she brought me to sit nearby. She walked to the receptionist to get a glass of water. “Thank you…” I drank the water in one gulp, “and I'm fine, I thought I saw someone that I knew.” “Joana?…” she asked calmly. I smiled softly, “No, it wasn't, just someone familiar.” I dismissed any other thing before it would lead to any misunderstandings. She didn't know Joana much. “So… Can we continue with our shopping?” Her voice was filled wi

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

046 CLINTON'S POV The room stood still, the officer's face was a bit guilty, “I'm sorry, I asked you that question. “You are just doing your job…” “Thank you for your cooperation,” the officer said softly and left. I returned to my seat, grabbing my phone from where it was. I was about to call someone when Caleb burst in, “seems you are Joana's first suspect.” He chuckled harshly. “And I think I should increase the security since you think you can just barge in here like you own it.” He smiled, taking a seat opposite me. “Do I look like I care? Anyways, let's get down to business. Since we're both businessmen, I thought we could have a business deal.” I raised my brow, suspicious of his word, why would he just come to the office that he swore he would never set foot in. “What business deal are you proposing?” He threw some files on my table, “I know you have been trying to get this bid for a while, but the client is a stubborn one.” I took the file and scan

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

047 JOANA'S POV I kept replaying the CCTV footage during the time of my accident, but it just kept playing the same thing over and over again. No one was ever close to my car during the period I was in the meeting, but it was not possible for the brakes to be tampered with when I was home. I was getting more confused when I got a call; I picked it up without even looking at the caller's name. “Hello…” I said softly, my eyes still glued to the screen. “You're gonna hurt yourself if you keep looking at the screen like that,” I turned to see Peter with a coffee mug in his hand. I ended the call, taking the coffee from him, “thanks.” “Did you find anything?” He asked, still maintaining a clear distance from me. “I honestly found nothing. It feels like I'm going in circles.” I maintained clear eye contact with him while sipping my coffee. “But you know what, I did find something weird,” I quickly noticed his change in demeanour; his pupils flashed with fear. “And that

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

048 JOANA'S POV “Were you expecting me to sleep all day?” I walked to the couch, noticing their every body language. “Of course not, I'm just surprised. It's not just… you,” Caleb laughed, sitting right next to me. “I'll head back to the kids,” Peter said softly, still avoiding my gaze as he made his way back to the kids. “Why are you staring at Peter like that?” Caleb waved his hand over my face. “None of your business,” I rolled my eyes at him. Caleb frowned at the sudden change of my tone. “Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? What's with the attitude?” I shrugged, “I admit I'm cranky. As I said, I didn't get enough sleep, so you better get used to it.” “Sleep, or is it that time of the month? Because this is so not you.” I slowly trailed my finger on his chest, smiling at him until I pinched his skin. He winced in pain. “Don't get on my nerves this morning? I'm as mad as I'll ever be, now tell me why you are here so early in the mornin

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE

049 JOANA'S POV We had clues, but it was not pointing to anyone making things even harder. I sank into my bathtub, letting the water soothe my skin. I really wanted to open my eyes, and the culprit would already be caught and leave me the stress of thinking. My mind went to what happened earlier between me and Caleb. The position he had held me under literally gave me butterflies. I don't know if it was because of the moment,t but lately, I find teasing Caleb fu; II lived for his reaction; he was always cute when he mumbled when he got mad but couldn't do anything. I was falling in love with Caleb, I didn't want it, but I couldn't help it. My heart had been broken too many times for it to start opening up again. But it was Caleb. The man who left everything to be with me, the man who was willing to risk his own life for my well-being. The man who made sure my children felt the warmth of a father. Maybe I was truly falling for his charms. He had been with me for six

CHAPTER FIFTY

050JOANA'S POVThe look in his eyes was clear, but I don't know if I should believe it. It felt like the more I placed my trust in people, the more they would break it.I slowly pushed his hands off me, but he returned to that position.“We are not leaving this place until you finally forgive me,”I scoffed hard, “You went out of line, and you expect me to forgive just like that. It doesn't work that way.”“But-”“But what Caleb? Regardless of anything, you did send someone there to vandalize my office, to scare me, even if the person didn't make it, you still had that thought in your head.”Caleb's face dropped low, and he fell on his knees, “I know an apology would never make you forget the trauma I added to your life, I should have respected your decision but I was blinded by anger and couldn't see the real picture here, you know I can never hurt you and will never hurt you but please I ask you to forgive me this once and…”“And you promise not to let your emotions get the best of
