The question stunned not just Eric Raymond but everyone in the private lounge.Eric Raymond's face was etched with a mixture of concern and anxiety."Sire, it's not that I don't want to initiate the total annihilation of the Louis family. I hate them as much as you do, but for now, we really can't take the risk of putting them on ice."Eric Raymond's voice resonated with reason, each word carefully chosen to convey the gravity of their situation.As he spoke the whole team, Alex Waynee, Evans Raymond, Nicole and John Paul stared at him in bewilderment.Alex Waynee's furrowed brow relaxed slightly as he absorbed Eric Raymond's words. He knew Eric wasn't one to advocate restraint without a valid reason."Explain what you mean."Alex demanded, his tone softer but still tinged with the edge of his frustration.Eric Raymond glanced around the room, meeting the gaze of each person present. The weight of their gazes mirrored the weight of the situation at hand."We're on thin ice here, Lor

The weight of the question from Sandra Douglas hung in the air as she tried to decipher what Alex Waynee really meant by his statement.The situation was intense, each moment pregnant with anticipation and the unspoken promise of impending confrontation.Sandra, still reeling from the audacity of the Louis family's ultimatum, struggled to grasp the depth of Alex Waynee's confidence.Walking closer to Sandra Douglas, Alex Waynee stares more deeply into her eyes.He could feel her heart race at an unprecedented speed."What I meant was do you believe the Louis family, the family that humiliated you all because of me.""The family that humiliated me at their daughter's birthday, the family that just gave you an ultimatum to resign just because of your love for me.""Do you believe that Mr Louis will lose his job tomorrow before noon?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared deeply into the eyes of Sandra Douglas.Sandra Douglas stood there, her eyebrows furrow

Mr Louis' voice was with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation as he cautiously answered the unknown caller.The seconds stretched like elastic bands, tension mounting with each passing moment."Mr Louis," a low, modulated voice came through the line, deliberate and tinged with an air of ominous certainty. "I believe we need to talk."The speaker's voice was barely above whispers and laced with authority.The hairs on Mr Louis' neck stood on end. "Who is this?"How did you get this number?"The weight of his question hung in the air, echoing through the receiver. Silence stretched, pregnant with unspoken threats."You don't need to know who I am, I don't need to tell you anything about me.""What's imperative is that you follow my instructions precisely if you want to see your children again." The cold and detached voice of Mr Eric Raymond commanded.Mr Louis' mind raced, grappling with fear and determination."I need proof that they're safe. I won't go anywhere until I know my c

"Are you guys sure that Mr Louis would really take the bait and tender his resignation all because of his children?""I mean guys, the position of the chairman of the financial union of this particular region is to die for."Alex Waynee said, his voice barely above whispers and laced with reason.He and John Paul were on the first floor of the center where they had taken Jose Louis and his sister Kelly.From the top the both of them gazed down at Eric Raymond and Evans Raymond who were watching Kelly Louis and her brother.They were communicating with each other via wired earset."Definitely.""Mr Louis loves his children so much that he would do anything for them.""It was because of them that he actually met your grandfather, Lord Wayne, to make him the chairman of the financial union of the region."The voice of Eric Raymond was barely above whispers as he narrated everything to Alex Waynee over the wired earset."So you guys believe it would work?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice lac

Alex Waynee's gaze laced with surprise and anxiety almost betrayed him."Well I didn't do anything, I just dreamt and it came to pass." Alex Waynee said, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at Sandra Douglas in a mixture of concern and anxiety.Sandra Douglas stared at Alex Waynee with her face etched with intense skepticism.Sandra Douglas eyes bore into Alex Waynee seemingly searching for any telltale signs of deception."Alex Waynee, this isn't the first time something you've said or 'dreamt' has influenced such a critical event."Sandra remarked, her tone edged with a blend of frustration and concern."Sandra Douglas well you made by right, but you really have to believe me."Alex Waynee said, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at Sandra Douglas.Sandra Douglas placed around the room, her heels clicking against the floor in a rhythmic pattern that echoed the tension in the air."I find it hard to believe that you're merely a spectator in these events, e
