“Look, Lucas, this is where you’ll stay until I spend the rest of my life with Norah, the one you stole from me,” Thomas sneered.“Listen to me, even in my death, I will not allow you to have Norah,” Lucas retorted, his voice filled with defiance.Thomas’s eyes darkened with anger. He turned to the kidnappers. “Teach him a lesson,” he ordered before leaving the room. As Lucas endured the brutal beating, Thomas took the next available flight to Serangoon.Upon arriving, Thomas drove straight to Norah’s house. He was stopped by the guards at the gate, but Norah soon appeared, her face pale and drawn with worry.“What are you doing here, Thomas? Have you come to mock me?” Norah’s voice was sharp, her eyes filled with suspicion.Thomas put on his most sincere expression. “Norah, I’m here to help. I heard about Lucas, and I want to do everything I can to find him.”Norah’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t need your help, Thomas. Stay away from me.”Thomas raised his hands in a placating gesture. “I

Vera met with her lawyer. “I think you need to be careful with Xavier, knowing that he once had an evil history. I will do all I can to see that you do not co-parent your son with him,” Mr. Thompson said to her. Little did Vera know that Xavier was already prepared to take responsibility for his son.“I can’t share my son’s happiness with anyone, not even with Xavier, his father, who betrayed me,” Vera answered.Mr. Thompson nodded, understanding the depth of her pain. “I understand, Vera. But we need to be strategic. Document everything, keep records of his past actions, and ensure you have a strong case. I’ll work on the legal front, but you need to stay strong and focused.”Vera threw herself into the task, determined to protect her son. She gathered evidence, attended every court hearing, and made sure to be the best mother she could be. She enrolled her son in various activities, hoping to fill the void left by his father’s absence.Despite her efforts, the little boy began to fe

Vera thought that the guys had him their way. She turned to her son and said, “Dominic, we need to leave here right now.” Dominic smiled at Vera, unaware of what was going on. They reached a junction, and Vera stood to hail a taxi. Unbeknownst to her, the approaching taxi was driven by one of the kidnappers. She told him her destination.“The destination you took is not mine. Please take me to my destination,” she added. The driver looked at her and smiled. “A beautiful lady like you should know that before you get out of this car, you have to see my boss first,” he said.Vera was shocked. “I don’t get you. Am I in the wrong vehicle?” she asked him.“No, my dear, but I think you are in one,” he answered. That was when Vera realized she was really in the wrong place.The taxi drove to a secluded area and stopped in front of an old warehouse. Vera was taken inside and brought before the kidnapper’s leader. He looked at her with admiration. “What a beautiful lady. I’ve always wanted some

“It is high time you tell us where you have hidden Lucas,” Mrs. Jessica demanded, her voice firm and unyielding. Thomas chuckled, a sinister smile playing on his lips. “I can’t do that,” he replied defiantly. “Mr. Man, we have the information at hand,” she retorted, her eyes narrowing.The security team, having secured Thomas’s phone, quickly extracted the kidnapper’s contact number. They immediately began the process of triangulating the signal, using advanced tracking technology to pinpoint the location of the kidnappers. The tension in the room was palpable as the team worked swiftly, their fingers flying over keyboards, eyes glued to screens displaying maps and coordinates.Minutes felt like hours, but finally, a location was identified. The security team mobilized, moving with precision and urgency. They arrived at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, the signal’s source. The team split into groups, surrounding the building to ensure no escape routes were left ung

“I am finally back,” Lucas said to Renee the day she met him in his office.“Didn’t you hear how I supported your rescue? It was my call to Norah that helped out,” she added.“Oh!” he exclaimed. “Thank you for your help.”Renee drew closer to him. “I want my payment,” she said. “Pay me.”Lucas laughed. “You should have told me you needed financial help instead of beating around the bush.”She moved even closer. “Lucas, I still love you,” she said.Lucas looked at her, his expression softening. “Renee, I appreciate everything you’ve done. Your support means a lot to me.” He paused, taking a deep breath. “But I need to be honest with you. I’m deeply in love with Norah. She’s the one who has my heart.”Renee’s eyes filled with a mix of emotions, but she nodded slowly. “I understand, Lucas. I just needed to hear it from you.”Lucas reached out and gently squeezed her hand. “Thank you for understanding, Renee. You’ll always be important to me.”Renee gave him a small, sad smile. “I hope yo
