Without hesitation, Felix lunged forward, wrapping his hand around Elsa and pulling her down behind a table, just as gunfire erupted in the small room. Bullets ricocheted off the furniture, sending splinters flying from it. “Get down!” Felix yelled, pulling Elsa closer, feeling her body press against his. He could feel her reaching into his pockets as he returned fire, the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears. “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring me a spare gun! What am I going to use?!” Elsa shot at him when she noticed his pocket empty, her eyebrow raised in disbelief and a hint of frustration on her face. She felt like slapping him for forgetting something so important, her annoyance mixed with adrenaline. Felix glanced at her, guilt and exasperation on his face. He wanted to kick himself for not being more prepared. “Never mind,” she waved her hand sharply and began looking around the cluttered room for something that could help. The guards shouted commands to each other, tryin

Felix smirked as the heat washed over him. But the smirk vanished immediately; he didn’t have time to celebrate. He dashed down the corridor, taking the stairs two at a time, heading toward the floor where he suspected Elsa might be held.Reaching the upper level, he paused, his breath coming in sharp bursts. His eyes fell on a door marked “Staff Only.” He approached cautiously and leaned in closer, straining to listen for any signs of life on the other side. The silence was deafening.He placed his ear against the door, concentrating hard to hear anything on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hall. Felix's pulse quickened. He had to get inside, now. With a swift kick, he forced the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind him.The room was dimly lit and filled with old furniture and dusty boxes. There was a table in the center of the room. His eyes scanned the space, everywhere, searching for any clue that Elsa was there. She had

“Shit!” Panic flooded him.He promised Felix he would ensure to keep anyone away from that area because he would be there. His mind raced as he quickly walked to him, blocking his view.As he got closer, he noticed the guard stiffen and frown in confusion. The guard paused and glanced behind Vito, looking sharp and on edge, as if he sensed something was wrong. He had heard the noise.“Is something wrong?” Vito asked, trying to sound casual and composed.The guard turned to him, his face darkening as he squinted. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. Vito noticed the guard's hand moving toward his weapon, fingers twitching as he assessed the situation.Vito stood up straight. “I’m the managing director of Vasley Group,” Vito said, keeping his voice calm and confident. A small smirk appeared on his lips.The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly relaxed, bowing his head. Fear and respect flickered across his face.“I'll ask again: is something wro

Felix walked down a grand flight of stairs, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly in the hallway as he headed for the backdoor. “Vito?” He called into the airpod, keeping his voice low but clear.“Yes, Boss,” he replied through the receiver.Felix paused for a moment and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching him closely. “The floor opposite the rear exit. Guard that area. Ensure no one goes closer, if anything seems wrong, alert me right away.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded.Felix took a deep breath and began to move, continuing down the stairs. He took long strides towards the rear exit, ensuring to avoid any guards around him.He decided to go on this mission alone to not raise suspicion so he let Jake attend the event in place of him. As he opened the door, he spotted a CCTV above, on the wall. Immediately, he grabbed a plank and swung it against it, hitting it several times.The lens shattered, sending bits of plastic flying.With the camera out of the way, he

They drifted to the edge of the ballroom.“Where's Elsa now?” Jen asked in a hushed tone once they were out of earshot, feeling nervous.Jake shook his head grimly. “Felix is still looking, but no word yet.” Vito looked around the ballroom, carefully observing everyone mingling and discussing. He didn't see any sign of Diane Fox among the wealthy and glamorous guests. He frowned slightly and discreetly waved over one of the nearest Vasley employees.He leaned in close so he could be heard over music. “Excuse me, have you seen Miss Diane? I didn't notice her with the Fox family earlier.”The worker shrugged without much interest. “Last I saw, she ran off the moment she got in. Probably hiding and crying in one of the empty sitting rooms, if you ask me.”Vito frowned in thought. He quickly sent a short message to Felix:“Diane is missing from the main event. Employee thinks she's hiding alone in an empty room. Let me know what you want to do next.”After sending the message, Vito put

“It would take a while to recover from this hit,” Jake remarked as they sat in the car, watching the hectic scene happening on the red carpet through the tinted windows.Jen looked out at the flashing lights and swarming paparazzi. She turned to him. “Even worse since Glitz and Glamour is leading now.” She had a satisfied smile on her face. Jake glanced over at her. "Are you ready to step out?" he asked. "The attention might be overwhelming."Jen took a slow, deep breath to calm her nerves. Being at the center of attention was scary. “As long as it's for Ma'am Elsa. So, yeah,” she said, arranging her dress and clutching her purse. Jake gave a subtle nod and got out of the car, then hurried around to open her door, offering his hand. Jen grabbed it gratefully with a smile as she stepped out.She held a confident smile, allowing her aura to radiate as she headed to the red carpet.A reporter in the front spotted her and did a double take, shocked to recognize her. "Isn't that the P.A

She collected her phone, as she began changing the name then handed it over to him to look at it. "Hubby...I think this is nice" She rolled her eyes as she took it from him then put it inside her bag, she stood up from the car, as he gave her a bye. She smiled at him as he zoomed off, her smile widened as she walked into the gate of the mansion, she looked at the ring again and smiled, she was so happy with it and she knew about it.Now it's time to tell her dad the good news, immediately she opened the parlor door, she saw him sitting down on the couch watching a film. As she ran to him and hugged him with a smile on her face, he jerked up because of how she jumped on him as he looked at her confused. "What's making you this happy?" He asked out of curiosity."Guess what dad" she said as he tried to understand what she was trying to talk about and also he couldn't guess it as he shook his head.Suddenly she stretched her hands showing him the ring as he took her hands and remove

Harley was so shocked that she believed what her eyes were seeing or was she hallucinating?.Of course not, it was Alex at her front on knees with a ring in his hands, she couldn't help but feel that it was a mystery. "Alex, are you serious right now?" She asked trying to know whether it was a prank or not but hopefully it wasn't, she could see it in his eyes the way he glared at her with so much love. Alex was waiting for her response he could feel his hands aching as his hands were stretched forth holding the ring. He smiled widely as she brought her fingers nearer to him, he quickly wore the ring on her finger. "Is..is that a yes?" He stammered as she nodded her head covering her mouth with her hands.She glanced at the ring spreading her fingers as she saw the name written on it, so she was finally going to get married to him. He stood up on the floor as he spread his arms and she wrapped her hands round his shoulders with a smile of excitement on her face.She wouldn't lie b

Harley was done with work preparations as she left the company already tired, it was five o'clock as she yawned feeling sleepy, she booked a taxi as she zoomed off going back home, when suddenly she saw a missed call from Vivian, she sighed as she called her back then she picked up. "Harley, are you ignoring me? Even you? Because I'm a murderer's Wife?" Vivian rudely spoke as she rolled her eyes, she didn't know why she called back."I was busy, and I don't judge like your fake friends do, if they want to leave they can leave but you are my sister, you get it?" She assured her. "Please I need you to come help me pack my things, I'm finally moving back to my father's house" "Alright, buy why...?"Before she could finish talking she had already cut the call. "Hey! Please take me to the Robert Mansion, at the other street" He nodded as he began to take a U turn. "Long time to see Harley" the driver said with a smile on his face as she squeezed her forehead and gazed at him, she ro

Alex reached the house as he came down from the car, he strolled inside as the maid bowed his head, he smiled at her. "Where is Rockson?" "I really don't know sir but either at the rooftop or in his room" she responded with her head bowed as he strolled upstairs, he knocked on his door like three times but he didn't open it, so that will mean that he is at the rooftop. He opened his door as he saw a medium box on his bed, he smirked as he went to it, he sat down on the bed and began unboxing it. After removing the box, he saw that another box was placed to cover it, he removed like three boxes before he could get the ring. He opened the Blue Ring Box, which was so small in his hands he smiled when he saw the first letter of his name and her name merged together. He couldn't express just how much this made his day. The red ruby Ring was so glittering and attractive, he was about to insert it into his fingers as he shook his head and dropped it back. It was meant for Harley's fin

Alex turned to look at him as he gave him a nod that all will be alright if he leaves. He stood up as he walked past the room door,he saw Vivian standing with a paper in her hands, she smiled at him. "Please don't give him troubles so that Nothing bad would happen to him and it won't complicates his health issues the more"Alex warned, whispering as she nodded. Though she was surprised at his behavior towards him she knew how they hated each other a lot, so she wasn't expecting this. "Don't worry Alex, just a formalities that needs to be done and that's all" She said as Alex sighed as he strolled out of the hospital, he entered his car, as he began to think what she meant by that, suddenly his phone began to ring as he picked it up when the ID showed Rockson. "Any problem Rockson?" "No sir, it's just a delivery box from Mrs. Zoe, she said I should hand it over to you when you return, is that okay by you or I should give it back to her?" He asked for his permission as Alex smirke

"Alex it's you?" He muttered with a shaky voice as he slightly nodded his head, who was he expecting apart from him, was it Vivian?"I don't have much time left Alex" Even though he wasn't dead yet Alex felt like he was already dead, he just tried to control the tears that were about to fall down. "I could swear that I tried but no lawyer was able to take up your case, even top lawyers said that your case as already been ended before it started because of the evidence placed on you" He explained to him as he couldn't imagine that it was the same Person whom he ridiculed so much and planned to kill for his lover was here with him. He held onto his tight and a little smile showed on his lips. "It's okay Alex, at least you knew that everything they accused me of and I'm going to jail for, was a pure lie and it's too obvious" he muttered as his breath was shaking, because of the pain but he couldn't get up at least sit on the bed, he couldn't do that. Not only because of the pain in

Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed. "You can throw a

"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec

He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat
