Chapter 71
Mr Gabriel was currently in the living room watching the 10 pm news when suddenly the reporter relayed the breaking news. At first, he didn't want to pay attention but after the reporter began elaborating on the issue, he began having his doubts.“Max max!” He called his son who was sulking in the room because his Dad chased him away to read his books. “Now he needs my help after scolding me.” Max grumbled as he walked slowly to the living room.” Here I am.” He spoke nonchalantly.“Come over here, come take a look at this…” Mr Gabriel summoned his son who reluctantly sat beside him.Max watched the News and glanced at his Father in confusion. How was he supposed to understand what they were talking about?“Terrorists are currently in a hotel. They're holding everyone hostage.” Mr Gabriel explained. “Ohh, That's scary. What's the government doing about it?” Max asked absentmindedly.“Why are you acting this way? The hotel belongs to the Robinsons… and Jake and Zara went to one of th

Mr Osman and Mrs Rosalie paced outside the hotel room waiting for the army to rescue the hostages. Suddenly, they sighted the terrorist being bundled and handcuffed by the cops as they led them to their van. Mrs Rosalie sighed in Victory and anticipated her children to come out. Truthfully, she had been quite relieved that it was Jake who was the only casualty and not any of her kids. When she couldn't wait any longer, she decided to go inside and confirm for herself and Mr Osman held her back.“One more thing.” He began and Mrs Rosalie looked at him in confusion.” If anyone asked where you were, tell them you were tied in the kitchen together with the stewards. And if they asked you what you were doing there, tell them you wanted to get a drink and you guys were suddenly attacked.” Mr Osman concluded and Mrs Rosalie smiled.“You're such a smart sweetheart.” She spoke sweetly to him and Mr Osman smiled before releasing her hands. He watched her go and sighed deeply. Now he just had t

Jake had gained consciousness a few hours before Zara arrived. Although, when he opened his eyes, there was no one in his room nor did the nurses come to check on him. His hands were weak and his throat was dry making it difficult to speak or do anything. At first, he was confused about his environment but when the scenes of last night Chao played in his head, he realized why he was in the hospital. His eyes stayed on his chest as he looked at it. He felt that area tightened by bandages and couldn't see it clearly due to the hospital gown he was wearing. Not only that but his hands were too heavy to be lifted. After a while of darting his eyes around, he fell asleep due to the Anesthesia administered to him before the surgery. The moment Zara came in, he felt her presence but couldn't open his eyes since his body was still asleep. He had waited for a while for his body to stand, and what we call good timing was when Zara confessed how much she loved him

Chapter 74
In Osman Robinson's residence…Mr Osman Robinson was currently in his study sitting on his chair. His eyes focused on the tiny bottle in his hands as he rolled, reading the brand slowly. “Did it work?” He mumbled as he shook the half-empty liquid bottle. Furthermore, he was placed down and punched on his system. “A few months of paralysis? They didn't give a specific month.” He noted with a frown on his face.” At least he's going to stay there for a month or two.” He chuckled.Suddenly, he poured the liquid into a bin and threw the bottle too. But not before removing the brand. No one must know what he had done. Not even Rosalie.Initially, Mr Osman went to visit Jake immediately after he got home. This was the opportunity and chance for him to completely wipe anything that would remind him of his late brother. Although he didn't have the intention of killing Jake, he wanted him to stay unconscious for a long time. At Least, o

Zara glanced at him in shock as she stepped back. Not only that but Jake chuckled at her expression and folded his arms together on his chest.Bathe? What was Jake getting into? There was no way she'd get into the bathroom with Jake. Things got awkward the last time they got very close and now he was suggesting they bathe together?"You don't want to bathe with me?" Jake asked intently."N..no.. it's not like that, I mean..." Zara stuttered in confusion."Or you think I'm going to touch you inappropriately? Is that what was going through your head when I said we could bathe together?" Jake asked seriously and Zara looked at him, trying to understand his expression."That's not the case... Don't get me wrong... I..." Zara's voice trailed off and her eyes darted left and right. She wished the floor would open up and swallow her at this instant because she didn't understand what Jake wanted to do."Well, I was joking." Jake started as he picked his face towel from the hanger." I was just

It's been a week now since the incident and as expected, the media didn't release or spread any rumors concerning Jake's health. Although people were worried and were dying to know how he was doing there was no way they could know the truth. Moreso, Jake had told his secretary to fix a schedule for him to have a meeting with the media. At least, to announce to the world that he was still alive. Even though the entire Robinson family didn't visit him apart from his uncle who always stood by him. Jake couldn't be bothered because he didn't need Their fake care and support in the first place. Also, he knows they'd wished he was dead so what's the point of visiting him?Jake sighed for the umpteenth time this morning as he prepared for work. Zara had gone back to her Father's house yesterday evening because Mr Gabriel wanted her to come back. At least, Jake was better now and he wasn't mourning the death of his Father again. Not only that, but Mr Gabriel felt it wasn't right for them t

Mrs. Rosalie walked briskly down a dark aisle, there was evident fear on her face as she turned back occasionally to be sure no one was following her. Likewise, she held her bag tightly as she kept on moving.Strausser had given her this address and she found everything odd with it. But she couldn't complain, she wanted to let Jake down, and she was going to do it at all cost.Suddenly, she saw a shadow coming towards her, and she stopped walking abruptly. “Gbim Gbim!” Her heartbeat was louder than her hitched breath. Who was coming closer to her? Should she run or wait? What if it was Strausser? Well, thank God I have a pepper spray with me. At least, I'd be able to protect myself.These thoughts occupied Mrs. Rosalie's mind as she stepped back a little. The shadow kept coming closer until she was able to decipher who it was. The shadow was of a man whose hoody cap was covering his face. Not only that, but he fixed his hands in his hoodie pocket as he walked closer to Mrs. Rosalie.“

Zara had got off from work and decided to pick up some groceries from the store nearby Before booking a cab home. Just before she got to the store, she felt someone was following her and when she turned to look back, she found no one.“I thought someone was behind me,” Zara mumbled slowly as she held her bag tightly. She was having an unusual feeling already. She glanced at the store ahead of her and sighed in relief.“Thank goodness I am almost there.” She stated before walking briskly on the lonely road. Just as she was about to look back again, she suddenly felt a strong arm grip her hand and fixed a handkerchief on her nose before dragging her to the corner.Zara struggled forcefully with all her might, but it seemed the man was more powerful. Not only that but she felt herself going drowsy and weak every second. Tears filled her eyes as she couldn't struggle again, she was good as paralyzed and was losing consciousness, slowly and painfully, Zara closed her eyes and fell into th

It has gotten to a point where Mr. Gabriel begged the search team to find the body of his daughter since he felt Zara would have fallen into the cold hands of death.The painful part of everything was that there was no clue or evidence left behind.

“900 Billion!” Jake exclaimed in shock and the inspector widened his eyes in bewilderment. Ever since he started taking cases involving kidnapping, never had he heard of a Ransom as huge as this. The highest was about millions none has ever asked for!Strausser chuckled at Jake's reaction and walked closer to Zara whose expression was epic as she glared at him. Before he began the call, he had taped her mouth so she wouldn't bluff out where they were, that's if she knew the place.“Isn't your beloved woman more than billions huh? And besides, you're wealthy, your stocks are more than a trillion, 900 billion won't be huge huh?” Strausser spoke rhetorically.Suddenly, the police made signs with Jake and he covered his speaker.“How do we trust he is with her? Ask him if you want to speak with her.” The inspector whispered and Jake nodded.“ How am I sure Zara is with you? you could be a scammer.” Jake asked and the inspector gave him a thumbs up
