Cade visited Raegan at her house immediately after being discharged from the hospital and taking the trip back to their city. His mother called while he was on the jet and he reassured her that he hadn’t been in his right mind when the video was taken. She asked him to use the evidence of the hospital toxicology report to clear his name immediately but doing so would require press conferences that could take hours. He had to speak to Raegan first because to him, she was the most important person. As long as Raegan believed in his innocence, he didn’t care who hated him. That was why he was standing outside her gate right now, but the security guards refused Cade entrance into the presidential villa. Usually, once they saw his car, he wouldn’t even be searched, the gate would just be opened for him, but the president gave strict orders that he was no longer welcome at the villa.He tried to call Raegan but she wasn’t picking up her phone. She must be ignoring his calls, there was no ot

Weeks later, the Milton Conglomerate in conjunction with Maxwell Jordan began the actualization of the idea that Maxwell brought to the table for Cade. The beginning of the process was quite hectic for Cade. He had meetings with the board members to deliberate on the percentage of payment they were to receive and to pay the workers whom he would hire for the job. But soon enough, the process became quite smooth. Cade opened branches of The Milton subsidiary all over the country, and in no time it became popular across the country and gained massive patronage just as Maxwell had predicted. Cade was so proud of Maxwell's idea, that he decided to throw a party to acknowledge the genius of Maxwell's idea. The party was to take place on a weekend and Maxwell was allowed to invite as many of his friends as he wanted. And Maxwell was going to do just that. He had something up his sleeves and he was thankful to Cade for this opportunity to do whatever he had in mind. And so the day of the pa

Cade's security staff had only assembled and were waiting for his command when his phone rang. He hurriedly picked it up thinking it was Raegan, but his flare was cut short when he remembered that he was holding Raegan's phone in his other hand. It was an unknown number calling and he had a bad feeling about it."Yes?" He said grumpily into the phone. "Baby?" Raegan's shaky voice spoke from the other end of the line."Raegan?! Where are you? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" Cade asked. He was already furrowing his brows from concern. He was angry at whoever dared to take her from him."I'm – I'm..." Her voice went off and the call was cut off. Immediately after that, Cade received a text and a video clip alongside the text, showing Raegan in a room alone, her hands tied to the back of the chair where her legs were also tied. Her mouth, however, was not tied. Her face full of ruined makeup looked swollen, and Cade could tell that she had been crying for a long while now. His ange

Cade was immediately admitted for treatment. He had lost a lot of blood since he was stabbed, and was so close to passing out. Macaulay however, had work to do. He contemplated reporting the case to the president before leaving, or just leaving to get his answers. He chose the last option after a little while of deliberation. Even though he told the president, he could do almost nothing to help other than increase security. Macaulay wanted to step into fire. He left two of his men in charge of Cade before he left early the next morning after making sure Cade’s condition was stable. "Do not take your eyes off him for even a second," he said to them. Then he left. Robin was a man of small build, popularly called Robinhood in his neighborhood because of his name. He lived a pretty normal, boring life on the outskirts of the city, and would only travel when he was needed for a job. No one around him really knew his source of income – not that they cared either – but they assumed that he

Macaulay found Raegan tied to a chair in the fourth room that he checked. He could see that she had been crying and wondered if Maxwell tortured her. "Did he touch you?" Macaulay asked as he untied her. She was still crying and whimpering so she could not speak at that moment. She was relieved to be rescued especially when she knew that Maxwell had planned to hurt her for denying his request. Macaulay was a bit confused by her response, so he assumed that Maxwell had indeed hurt her."What did he do to you?" He asked again. "I’m fine, don’t worry about me. I’m just relieved to see your face here because it means I’m safe now. He just slapped me but it doesn’t hurt so much now that I know I’ve been found." Raegan said, still crying. "Did he do anything else?" Macaulay asked with clenched fists.He wanted to know if Maxwell had sexually assaulted her but he didn’t know how to ask her that directly. But she understood what he was trying to ask even if he didn’t ask the question direct
