Frozen, Lawton, and Smithson fixed their gaze on the screen as smoke and fire flooded the radio waves. The picture was grainy, distorted by the extreme heat and debris, but the absolute destruction was clear-cut. The warehouse had become a blazing inferno, devouring everything within its bounds.Something moved within the smoke just as Lawton was ready to speak. At first, it was simply a shadow, a hazy figure drifting among the tumult. But the figure grew more distinct as the smoke started to dissipate. Tall and strong, he wore a black tuxedo that, considering the situation, seemed immaculate. His eyes shone a terrible blue, like twin beacons of evil piercing the haze.Lawton and Smithson stared in shock as the man gently emerged from the flames, uninjured. The sheer absurdity of the sight rendered both of them momentarily mute. They had been sure everyone inside would have perished in the explosion. Jack Harper emerged without a scratch while the flames tore behind him, destroying wh

Amanda got into her room tired from the activities of the day, She lay on her bed as she reminisced about her conversation with Barry.Amanda was still surprised at Barry's audacity. The man had just told her to divorce her husband."What makes him think he would tell me to divorce my husband and I will listen to him?" Amanda said to herself."Who does he think he is," Amanda continued."Bold of him to think I would leave my husband for him," She added.Tired of thinking about her previous conversation with Barry, Amanda got up from her bed and decided to shower.She was in the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door."I'm coming," she shouted, as she rushed out of the bathroom.She got downstairs and went straight to the door."Who is it?" She asked."It's Lawton," the voice said.Amanda opened the door and Lawton came inside, smiling softly as he saw his wife."How was your day baby?" Lawton said, hugging Amanda."It was fine baby," Amanda replied."Thank you," Amanda continued.

Lawton couldn't believe what his ears. His mother was poisoned! He didn't know what to say or do at the moment. Lawton was petrified!His eyes widened in frozen terror as he thought of what next to say to the doctor.Lawton finally snapped off it and composed himself."How is she now?" Lawton asked, with a puzzled look."She's stable now Mr Lawton," The head doctor said."Thankfully, the poison was quite a common one and we were able to administer the antidote on time," the lead doctor added."Wow, thank you, doctor," Lawton said, sighing in relief."I will prescribe some drugs for you, you just need to go and get them in the pharmacy," the lead doctor said."Alright, thank you doctor," Lawton said."Will my mother be fine Doctor?" Lawton asked, with a doubtful gaze."Are you sure the poison is completely out of her system?" Lawton continued."Your mother will be fine Mr Lawton," the doctor said."We have carried out all the necessary tests on her," the doctor added.The doctor then

Lawton was in his car when he suddenly got a call from Smithson.He was surprised, as he had just left the Penthouse."Did I forget anything?" Lawton asked as he picked up his call."No, young master," Smithson said."So what is the problem?" Lawton asked."I just wanted to tell you to be careful," Smithson said."You called to tell me that?" Lawton said."Yes, young master," Smithson said."Okay, I will," Lawton said before hanging up the phone.Lawton smiled as he dropped his hanged-up. Although he doesn't show it often, he loves how protective Smithson is.Lawton smiled as he drove, enjoying the quietness and night air that filled his car.He checked his time and he decided to call Amanda to check up on her."Hello Amanda," he said, as she answered."I just wanted to inform you that I am on my way home to pack what you will need at the hospital," Lawton said."Is Mom awake now?" Lawton asked."No, babe," Amanda replied."Okay, baby, see you soon and please take care of yourself," L

Lawton was carried and dropped off in front of his house by Barry's men.His unconscious body was on the floor, lying motionless.Lawton just lay there, pale and vulnerable.Amanda waited for him all night in the hospital and got tired of waiting.She tried to call him but his phone wasn't available. She concluded he might have slept off at home while he was there.She then decided to go home and pack what she needed herself before going back to the hospital.She was still inside packing when Lawton was dropped off by the kidnappers.Amanda showered and put on new clothes, ready for the day.She also ate and packed the food she was going to eat in the hospital."Lawton must have gone back to the penthouse to sleep," Amanda said to herself, as she closed the door.Amanda was on her way back outside, calling her office to inform them she wouldn't be able to make it to the office today when she saw a crowd gathered outside their gate.She was surprised and decided to take a look when she
