Marcus had almost lost his mind these past few days. He had been sitting at the head of a long conference table, surrounded by his most trusted associates, when his phone buzzed insistently. He ignored it at first, focused on the presentation in front of him.The phone buzzed again. And again."Excuse me," Marcus said, holding up his hand to pause the meeting. He picked up his phone and saw multiple missed calls from Harold, his butler. That was unusual. Harold knew never to interrupt his meetings unless it was truly urgent.Marcus answered the call. "Harold, this better be important.""Sir," Harold's voice came through, shaky and worried. "It's Master Jason. He's been taken."Everything else in the room seemed to disappear. Marcus stood up so quickly that his chair fell backward."What did you just say?" Marcus asked, his voice dangerously quiet."Master Jason was attacked at the private airstrip," Harold explained. "Roberts and Martinez tried to protect him, but they were overwhel

Kayla had rushed into the Kingston building in fear.Her heart raced as they blocked her way, her panic rose and her palms growing clammy with nerves. The receptionist, a stern-faced woman with perfectly coiffed hair and sharp, assessing eyes, regarded Kayla with a hint of skepticism.“Do you have an appointment, Madam?” the receptionist inquired, her tone cool and professional.“No, yes, I need to see Henri,” Kayla replied, her voice filled with panic. She looked behind her in fear to find that the driver of the sedan was walking in, but was stopped by the second doorman. She noticed that the man in the leather jacket had paused at the door.The receptionist raised an eyebrow, her expression unyielding. “Do you have an appointment?” she asked, her tone bordering on indifferent. She did not understand where this woman came from. No matter how they stood in her way, she only kept inching forward.Kayla shook her head, her nerves escalating with each passing second. “No, but it’s urgent

Jessie just spelled out of the bathroom when Leon called."Hey, I heard Jason has been found and is okay," Leon said and Jessie sighed in relief. Eric had told her that Marcus would find him and she could not calm down all these while."Thank God. Now I can let loose a bi this night," She answered and Leon raised a brow."You are going somewhere?" He asked."My...in laws..." She started to say, then recalled she had not informed the boys she was married because she really had been considering divorcing a long time ago."That's right, the August family gala is today," Leon said and she paused."You...""You think I did not know you were Eric August's wife? How is that possible with my family's like I work? Since you were acting as though it never happened and worst of all, the bastard did not even give you a wedding ceremony, then I pretended he did not happen too..." Leon said and Jessie broke into a smile."But, should you be out at all? Evan would not even let me..." Leon started to

Jessie slowly regained consciousness, her eyes fluttering open into near total darkness. She blinked rapidly, trying to get her bearings as her head throbbed painfully. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was greeting guests at the hotel ballroom with Eric before everything went black.As her senses readjusted, she realized she was tightly bound and lying on a hard floor. Her heart started racing with fear. She could make out the faint sounds of voices nearby, two people seemingly arguing in harsh whispers."...can't believe they already know she's missing! The whole place is on lockdown," one voice hissed, the tone vaguely familiar to Jessie.Another voice responded gruffly. "Well of course her rich husband is going to pull out all the stops. He'll have his goons tearing this place apart to find her."Jessie felt her blood run cold. It was slowly dawning on her that she had been abducted, certainly from the ball, and her captors were now panicking at Eric's inevitable aggres

Jason frowned when he heard what the person on the phone said. "You are my mother's brother?" he asked and Leon and the rest behind him instantly became alert."What do you want?" Jason asked."I heard of what happened to your friends lately," Lory said and Jason's face darkened."Was that your doing?" he asked Lory."How is that relevant? what is relevant is knowing what your grandmother has planned for you. Aren't you curious?" Lory asked. "No, not at all," Jason sneered.To these words, Lory chuckled lightly as though he did not believe a words he said."Alright, you don't want to know. But for the sake of this call, make a deal with me, Jason," Lory said and Jason had a thought. Why would he call? Was it possible he may not have harmed Kayla, but was the one behind Jessie's attempted abduction?if so, then it made sense. This uncle of his, probably does not speak for his entire maternal family. After all, it did not feel as though that family cared about his feelings when they
