I almost collapsed to the floor when we heard their trucks starting up outside.My legs shook.Kan pulled me up and held me to himself tightly, “Oliver is OK.”“He is not here. I don’t know where he is.”“Your father took him. He could not call you since you were with the officers, so he called me.”“Kan.” I said in distress, stepping out of his arms and just then a knock came on the door. Kan’s assistant, Ren, politely poked his head around the door, “Should I bring them in now?”“Who?” I asked anxiously. “Is Oliver around the mansion?”“No,” Kan said, looking at Ren. "Wait sometime, you don’t know who might still be lurking around.” “No. I cannot have our son exposed like that outside,” I was already headed toward the door. “If he cannot come in yet, I will go to him.”“Ariel!” Kan said with force and gripped my hand. Ren bowed quickly, moving away and closing the door behind him.“You can’t keep acting this way if you want Oliver safe. You are logical, but that goes out the wind

I was impatient to discuss in private now with Kan. Now that I knew she had not kidnapped her baby, I was in no hurry to send her away anymore.My eyes looked round and settled on the housekeeper who remained there the whole time. From the way she stood, it was clear she had been expecting an order from us to kick Elora out at any point.“Please take her to one of the guest rooms upstairs.” The housekeeper looked like she was about to protest, perhaps saying any of the bunk beds in the maids' quarters were just as fine, but she must have seen the look in my eyes because she maintained silence and bowed.“And get anything you need for yourself and the baby; milk, clothes.” I looked at the child who was falling asleep in her hand, who I feared was malnourished and may fall ill anytime now. “Charge our expense card.”I glanced at Kan, and he looked up and nodded, “Yes. Have my chauffeur take you to the mall. It should still be open by this time.” He waved his hand at Elora dismissively

I stared at Blaine, shocked. He knew. He knew Oliver was not dead as I had claimed. Could Kan have been right after all?Did Blaine send those men to raid our house?“What the hell are you talking about?” I said, calling his bluff.He smiled that bright smile I remembered well, the one that has become even clearer since my long dream at the hospital. He flashed that smile at me, shaking his head as he undid his top shirt buttons.I looked away. The place was really becoming hot, and I somehow chose today of all day to wear a long-sleeve shirt. It was a gorgeous white and gold dress shirt with complementing white pants, but now I regret wearing it.“We cannot stay here forever.” I looked up at him again, trying to make him see sense since there was nothing else I could do. There was no connection here, so I could not call or text. I glanced at Summer and she was sweating now.Blaine really got me with this. I would have been way more stubborn if it was just him and me, but I could

“Where are we going?” Eleanor stared out the window as the cars branched away from the route that should have led them to Môshon.“The police station,” Kan said calmly.“What?” She turned her wide eyes to him.He laughed at her surprised expression, “You don’t think I am going to turn myself in, do you?”She gave him an angry look, and looked away, “You’ve got jokes, Chairman Sullivan.” and that transported him back to Ariel, saying ~yes chairman~ last night. He exhaled, blood rushing down to his groin.“When did you become so feisty?” he said quietly.“Since I realized that is the exact type you like.” “What?”“Your wife is one fireball, and you fell in love with her in under two years. I am serving and quiet and submissive and have been in this..” She trailed off, her lips puckering like she just tasted something bad. “This situation for over a decade.”Kan laughed, and she stared at him with wide eyes, perhaps shocked that he would find this funny.“Ariel is no fireball. She is

Kan felt his phone vibrating, cutting his recording off. He frowned, maybe he had gotten enough anyway.“Ren?” “We have him. Some of the men are leading the VIP to the guest house now.”“That’s fast work.” Kan smiled, totally pleased. He ended the call still smiling. Ariel would have a lot of pleasant surprises waiting for her when she got off work today.Maybe he could directly take her to the guest house. If she had enjoyed her session with Akira so much, she might just enjoy this even more.When he looked up again though, the European man was gone. He turned to Eleanor,“Where did he go? When did he leave?”She shrugged, her eyes pinned on her computer tablet now. He looked away. He really did not have the patience for her sulking right now.He opened the door and stepped out just as Tucker's wife walked out the discreet corner, and began to fix her hair and her outfit.She noticed him, and stopped, so suddenly she nearly tripped. Kan raised one hand in a wave as he smiled br
