Connel felt drained, “I should have protected her, I shouldn't have let her leave the mansion. I should have kept her close.” he kept blaming himself.Watson watched, he knew and understood Connel was possessive and would go extra mile to protect what belongs to him. He knew he was secretive, Connel wasn't the kind of man to lose, especially when it came to people challenging him. “Who ever abducted Ariel, did this to get to him.” Watson thought.Connel turned the clickers around, moving it like it was a stress relief tool. “I knew bringing her to my world will cause threat, I knew she won't be safe and yet I did it.” Connel whispered.“Master Connel, should I place a call to him?” Watson asked.“No, I'll handle this myself.” Connel replied calmly.He kept staring at the message, “I still can't wrap my head around this. I know I have taken things away, which they certainly didn't deserve but this seems recent.” he muttered as he kept staring at his phone. “The sender was wise enough t

Nico's words lingered like a knife sheathed too close to the skin.“Whatever this is, whoever took her, it's deeper than you even know.” He said, placing his hands on Connel's shoulder.“I didn't ask for a sermon,” Connel muttered.“You didn't need to. You think this is just about her?” Ariels a crack in the foundation. Trust me, there's more to come and she's just the opening."Connel's jaw tensed. “Then what do you suggest I do?”Nico turned to Connel, “You're a man who buried many men, sewed mouths shut, Crippled many bastards and still ruled an empire, you're a king.”Connel stood at the edge of the jet, staring intensely at Nico.“Keep Ariel close, Watch your back. Watch who you trust. You're a king many want to dethrone.” He continued. “And remember you're not the only one who knows how to play pretend.”The car tore through the quiet countryside roads like a bullet loose from steel.Connel sat in the backseat, his usually composed expression cracked - jaw tightened, one hand gr

Days had passed, Ariel looked and felt stronger but she still couldn't give a clear detail of what happened, her mind remained a fog of fragments. It was fine, Connel didn't want to stress or overwhelm her, he wanted her to come to him when she was ready. He refused to be the storm to her still recovering calm.Outside, the rain fell heavily and endlessly, and hadn't stopped since morning. It tapped against the mansion's tall windows like impatient fingers that were relentless and restless to get in.Connel stood in his office, dressed in a black tailored two-piece that clung to his frame like shadow. He stood staring at the investigation board he'd mounted on the wall. It had Photos, maps, pins, red threads connecting timelines, faces and theories.But something didn't add up.“She was missing for exactly less than forty-eight hours,”he muttered to himself. “No ransom, No calls, no message, no demands.”He paced, frustration simmering under the surface.Watson entered, wiping the rai

The morning after the rain held a tranquil charm, with the world bathed in soft glow and illumination. The ambiance was refreshing and cool, filled with the fragrance of moist soil and the promise of renewal. Raindrops clung to the leaves and flowers, sparkling like little diamonds in the morning light. The sky reflected a gentle shade of blue, with delicate clouds leisurely floating across it. He knew his world wasn't as refreshing as nature and it didn't come in admiration.Connel stood on the balcony enjoying the gift of nature, the melody of birds chirping filled the air around him, their tunes a joyful tribute to a new day. The world seemed fresh and rejuvenated as if the rain had washed away all his concerns and troubles he had, leaving behind a sense of hope and possibility, but deep down he knew that this was the picture of his life.“A feeling of new beginnings, I wish the day stays like this.” Connel murmured to himself.Connel stepped out the balcony, fully dressed in black

Connel's eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”Nico didn't respond. Only the distant sound of waves could be heard, then he replied, slow and firm. “We’ve got intruders”“Intruders!” Connel exclaimed.Ethan looked surprised and then he mouthed words to Connel. “How did that happen?”Connel raised his hands towards Ethan, signaling him to be quiet. At the other end of the phone, Connel could hear strong unfamiliar sounds.“What’s that?” He paused, “That sound, what's going on?”“The warehouse down the eastern blocks was set on fire.” Nico paused to catch a breath. “I got a call and I rushed here as fast as I could.”“What?” Connel's voice dropped sharply. “How?”“I rushed here as fast as I could after I got the call,” Nico said. “There were no alarms but whoever it was knew the blueprint.”“Could you save anything?”Nico sighed, “Yes. But the whole back of the warehouse is burnt, we could only save the front.” Connel and Ethan's eyes flickered towards each other “Meaning whoever set the
