As soon as they arrived at what seemed to be a hospital, Mask looked around before he got out of the car and put on his cap to conceal his identity. This wasn’t how they had expected things to turn out. He was sad and hoped the information was legit. “Let’s go.”They walked forward and pushed the door open into the house, and were welcomed by an old man. In the room were several injured victims, some of whom were close to death.The smell of blood filled the air, almost making them want to suffocate.They followed behind towards the room, nothing else crowded their mind aside from finding Asher. When they reached the room, they found a man lying on the bed covered with bandages. The man who brought him said he was rescued from a fire incident on the same day Asher was missing.Mark’s eyes scanned the man, pulled his hands from his pocket, and walked closer to the unconscious man on the bed. Their eyes checked on the man as if they could see beyond the bandages. Mark reached for hi

When they arrived at the man’s store, Fabio and Sergio alighted from the car with straight faces. The man shop sat between a café and a boutique. He owned a bookstore.Both men approached the entrance and found the small signpost closed on the door.But something was off, the light inside was still on, and the door was not locked. When Fabio pressed the doorknob, it opened freely.Usually, the store is closed by seven or eight.As soon as Fabio pushed the door open, the small bell above it chimed.He glanced around the store hoping to find anyone, but the room was quiet. Fabio stared at Sergio and he shrugged.The two men stepped into the bookstore, their eyes scanning around until their gaze fell on something, which left them dumbfounded.Blood!Fabio and Sergio reached for their guns, raised them above their chests, and their eyes scanned around.At this time, as they stepped forward, what Fabio saw next when he looked down made his stomach tighten.Sergio mouthed agape in shock an

Sergio walked through the hallway. He was heading towards his desk, holding a flash drive. Earlier that morning, he had received a call from one of the store owners around the abandoned house. The man had asked him to come take the drive.His expression was mixed, knowing that they would have a clue about the case, and get justice for all those involved.When Sergio walked into the office, he found Fabio going through a file. Sergio shook his head and walked towards him.Ever since Max’s and the old lady’s death, Fabio had been working extra time, just so he could gather evidence on the case.He has worked every single day, and had even refused any advice to rest, he was hell bent on solving the case. He could not abandon his colleague and friend, so he joined, giving his all to the case.“Fabio,” he called.Fabio raised his head and stared at Sergio with a straight face.“What happened, you seem different today.” He asked, as he adjusted from his seat.“I’ve found something.” Fabio

They knew the risk they were taking in doing all of these, but Fabio didn’t seem to care; all he wanted was to find a breakthrough in the case, and also find the murderer of the old lady.The two walked around the building, checking every room, but everything seemed clean like someone had come to clear the premises.Fabio frowned as he walked out of the building, nothing at all, no evidence. But then he spotted something by the side of the door, he leaned forward when he saw a ring, it looked familiar, he had seen it before. At that time he shoved out his phone, scrolled through his gallery and clicked on the image of Gaius. His eyes darted from the picture to the ring.Sergio leaned closer to take a look at what Fabio was focused on.“I think Gaius was here.”Sergio chuckled, “Gaius, why are you so serious about this. Why do you think every crime is related to Gaius?” He asked. “Look at this.”He pulled out his phone and showed him a picture with the same ring. “Here, this ring is

Massimo tapped his chin as he watched Asher, he saw the curiosity and worry in his gaze.He could not help but look at the doctor who gave him a soft nod.“Asher, you see the truth is that I didn’t find you. Claudia did.” He said calmlyAsher’s eyes averted towards Claudia and then back to Massimo.“I was driving home when I saw someone struggling and stepping out of a burnt house. I was so terrified at that moment and wanted to run away until I found out that the person needed my help. You collapsed, and when I came close, I saw it was you. I had to take you to my car. I was planning on taking you to the hospital, then I overheard some men talking about looking for you. I was worried that I had to call my father, and he insisted that I bring you here.”When we brought you here, you had several bruises on your skin, injuries that would have killed you, I am surprised you are even alive. It's a miracle. But there was something, you kept saying one word, Lucio.” “Who is Lucio? And what

Asher was confused about how she got there. Why would Claudia help him? How did she know where to find him? At this moment, to Asher, it could only mean one thing: she saw everything that happened.Perhaps someone else saw her and reported it to her father or herself. He would have preferred to be found by someone else and not her.Claudia noticed the expression on his face, and she took a step forward,“Relax, Asher. You’ll open the stitches, tell me what you want and I will get it for you.”Asher looked at her, still unable to grasp what was happening. “How did I get here and what happened?”“Look Asher, you need to relax. The doctor and my father are on their way here.” She replied.Asher was worried; unease engulfed his body. Where they were, he wasn’t sure of his safety. “You are safe here; no one knows about this place. It’s our secret hideout.”Hearing that Asher felt relief, he still wondered what could be happening outside those walls. He thought about his friends.He kne

Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up

“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his

His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st

“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d

They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c

Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any

At that moment, the cafe felt distant, leaving the other students in awe and disbelief; they couldn’t help but wonder what was happening.It was impossible to see Terry around Jack.Many students kept a curious gaze, and some even tried to lean closer so they could listen in on their conversation.Raphael and his friends exchanged glances, but had mixed feelings.Just as Terry sat down he cleared his throat before leaning forward. He kept an apologetic expression. “Jack, Anna.” He said softly. “I am sorry, I was wrong for how things turned against us. I was arrogant toward you two, and after thinking it through I just realised I made a mistake.”Jack stared at him for a moment, Anna, Raphael and Barbara did the same this time in shock and disbelief. “I have come to ask for your forgiveness, I want to make things right between us if you will let me,” Terry muttered.Terry nudged Claire without hesitation and she spoke out, “I am sorry, Anna. I am sorry for what happened at the contest

Jack wanted to reject but then he remembered he was still hiding his identity. If he refused to accept the money, it would raise a suspicious eyebrow at him. **978 He called out his account details, and she punched in as she listened intently. Sent! “Jack, you should go through it. You know she has a scammer as a boyfriend, you don’t want to receive a fake alert!” “Yes, Jack. Confirm the transaction through the bank application.” Jack smirked, he checked his bank application. “Seen.” He showed the account balance, Jack gave Claire his second bank account details, where he has $2100. He now had a total of $22,100 When Anastasia saw his account details she scoffed. “You are broke, if not for Claire’s money, you wouldn’t have had $5000. What kind of man are you?” “Come off it, Anastasia. I might not have money, but I was able to afford a premium ticket, while you with the money couldn’t take a view of the ambience where Anna was crowned the queen.” His voice was laced

It had been two days after the contest, and neither Claire nor her friends had shown up in school after the humiliation.Students were gathered in groups murmuring, chuckling and whispering. Among their various groups, most talked about the contest, and Claire did not show her face or say anything.Most had sent a notification to know when she was going to post, but not, hence leaving some students worried, knowing the Claire they knew would always post on her social media accounts.The event had turned Claire and her friends into a laughingstock in school. Their videos had been shared and had become the most trending. No one has expected Anna to emerge as the winner despite competing with big names like Vivian Sancho.Crestview University honoured her for being crowned the queen ahead of others. It brought a good reputation to the school despite what Claire did to sabotage her chances.Just as Anna walked into the class, the students gave her a standing ovation as the new queen of t

Barbara trembled slightly, she wouldn’t want to be humiliated by Benedict again. Just as he approached their table, Raphael had plans to confront him since he was sure Anna had promised to pay the money.Benedict’s gaze drifted to Jack, who kept an unreadable expression. He bit his lips, knowing he had no say anymore. His gaze dropped low. The unexpected happened when they saw Benedict drop to his knees slowly.Jack’s friends gasp in shock and disbelief. Barbara was the most surprised among her friends, she was the one who got embarrassed by Benedict.There was a moment of silence as the friends exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.Who would have thought the arrogant Benedict would kneel before the same people he looked down upon?The waitress who stood by the side was stunned, her eyes popped out in disbelief, never had she expected to see Benedict in such a state.Benedict took a deep breath, with his gaze lowered. “I want to apologise,” he said, his voice lighter than earli

“What the hell are you doing here?” Benedict couldn’t hide his anger and frustration when he spotted Jack entering Elliott’s office.“That’s him,” he sneered, “He should be thrown out of these premises this moment, he and his friends don’t need to be seen around.”Jack smiled and shook his head as he stepped forward. “Master Jack,” Elliot said, getting up from his seat and bowing respectfully, “Please, have a seat.” Benedict was taken aback by the sudden change, he froze in disbelief as he watched how Polite Elliot was toward Jack despite everything he had said. What even got him dumbfounded was hearing Elliot calling him master. “Who is he?” He thought to himself.The scene before him looked unreal, not making any sense.“Why is the young man called master? Who is he?”Jack smiled as he watched Benedict’s face. From Benedict’s expression, he could tell that he was confused.“You were saying something before I interrupted. What is it? I am interested in it, come on. Go ahead, I am

“I can see you are becoming stubborn. I know what to do with your type of people,”At that moment, Emma stepped forward, her face contorted in rage. “Mr. Mark, these are my guests, and I think it hasn’t gotten to that. I will meet with the manager to discuss the vase, and whether it will be replaced.”Seeing Emma, Benedict’s mind was mixed. He had always had feelings for Emma, but never gotten the chance to talk to her. His voice softened. “Emma, you are here.” He said, he was angry and didn’t notice Emma was standing closer.“Emma, I can forget about the vase, but this young man slapped me. I will not forgive him until he goes down on his knees and apologises to me.”Emma raised her brow in shock. She wished she could tell him he was playing with fire, but no, she couldn’t.Does Benedict know who he wants to kneel before him?Does he have a death wish?“Mr. Mark, I don’t think we should go that far, but I wouldn’t advise you not to push forward with this. We should forget this ever h
