That day, the couple had just left the cozy cafe and went straight to the car that was parked in the parking area of the cafe. As Vere and Mira settled in the car still they could see from a distance in the mirror of the cafe of Mr. Perry's eyes looking at them as its gaze lingered on them, making them both uneasy. "Do you think he's just being friendly or is there something more to it?" Mira whispered, her voice filled with concern. As they are heading home while on the road Vere's eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, where he caught a glimpse of a dark car trailing them a little too closely. His heart quickened. "Vere there's a car behind us”, Mira said. "Yeah, I noticed it too. It's strange. We must be careful", Vere added. As they continued along the winding road leading to their mansion, the dark car maintained its relentless pursuit. Vere's knuckles turned white as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. They exchanged worried glances, anxiety gnawing at their nerves.

That day, after Vere and James had their conversation at the office, he quickly headed home to the mansion where his wife, Mira, awaited his return. Upon arriving at the mansion, Vere made his way straight to the living room, where Mira and Vere's mother were engrossed in watching television. "Are you ready, Mira?" Vere asked. Mira looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and responded, "Oh, Vere, you're back so soon?" Vere nodded and smiled, keeping his tone casual. He didn't want to let them know what was going on that James had shared some sensitive information with him, especially with his mother present. "Yeah, James and I just had a quick conversation at the office," Vere replied, choosing his words carefully. Mira, sensing that something might be amiss, decided to play along. "Oh, alright then, wait and I have to prepare myself," she said, with her excited tone to see her parents. While Vere waited for Mira, he took the opportunity to speak with his mother. "Mom,

When Vere arrived at the mansion where his mother was engrossed in watching a show, he greeted her, saying, "Hello, Mom, I'm back." His mother inquired, "Where's Mira?" Vere responded, "I need to leave her with her parents, Mom, so she can spend quality time with her family. While I am taking care of some things," Vere answered. At that moment, Vere informs his mom to increase the security at their home. He carefully explained the reason, considering his mother's health, and assured her not to worry. He mentioned that he believed it was necessary to enhance security due to their changed circumstances and his newfound fame as a billionaire. He emphasized that was the only reason, keeping the real purpose involving Mr. Perry a secret from his mother. After a few conversations with his mother, Vere says goodbye to his mother and goes to his room to rest. Suddenly while he was lying in his bed, he felt the chill-filled air in the room, and it sent shivers down his spine. During th

On that fateful day, Vere was stunned by the unexpected turn of events. His heart weighed heavy with remorse for what had happened to Mira. Nevertheless, amid the turmoil, both he and Red were steadfast in their commitment to keep searching the dense, overgrown terrain. They made the difficult decision to split up briefly, thinking it might improve their chances of finding Mira sooner. Vere wasted no time and suddenly he heard Red shouting “She here”. Vere hurried in the direction of Red's voice. When he reached the place where Mira lay, his heart sank at the sight before him. Mira was unconscious; her injuries were extensive. Tears welled up in Vere's eyes as he rushed to his wife's side, desperately trying to rouse her. "Mira, please wake up.", but Mira remained unresponsive. Though she still had a pulse, her condition was critical. With no cell phone signal in the area, Red took it upon himself to rush to a nearby station center in search of help. The minutes seemed to drag on en

Vere was once again staying at the majestic Fuentez Family Mansion, three months after his previous business trip. A vast and beautiful home, the mansion was a blatant indication of the family's riches and prestige. Vere's wife, Mira, embraced him tenderly as he exited his car and moved toward the front door. The lines of worry on her face have progressively faded since she was hurt on the island. "Welcome home, my love I have missed you so much," Mira whispered, her eyes filled with affection as she held Vere tightly. Vere smiled down at her, his heart swelling with love for the woman who had been through so much. "I missed you, Mira." Their lives had become peaceful since they had returned from that ill-fated trip. And the specter of Mr. Perry, who had once plagued their every move, had seemingly vanished into thin air. It was a welcome relief, and Vere had grown complacent about traveling alone without his usual contingent of bodyguards. As they entered the mansion
