Isaac felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. "What do you want from me? I'll do anything, just leave them out of this."Robert's tone turned cold. "You know what I want. Return to where you belong, and maybe, just maybe, I'll consider sparing them. But defy me, and you'll watch as everything you care about crumbles before your eyes."Isaac swallowed hard, his hands trembling. "I... I need time to think."Robert's laughter echoed through the phone. "Oh, take all the time you need. But remember, the clock is ticking, Isaac. Tick-tock, tick-tock."As the call ended, Isaac felt a surge of determination rising within him. He knew he had to act fast to protect his family, but the weight of Robert's threats hung heavy over him.He turned to Noah, who had been listening in with a furrowed brow. "I don't know what to do. Robert is ruthless, and I can't risk my Evelyn safety. But I can't go back to that life. I just can't."He placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Isaac, we'll figure

Isaac sat across the table from the potential investor in the luxurious hotel lobby. The middle aged man sat opposite Isaac with a glass of wine in his hand. His eyes pierced Isaac before he began.“Look Mr. Isaac, I will have to go straight to the point, I am withdrawing my investment, your company has been going through series of crises lately, and with such crises comes the downfall of the company, I don't think that I will be able to deal with all this drama at Anderson group”Isaac remained composed, trying to keep his cool despite the devastating news. "But why?" he finally managed to ask, his voice betraying a hint of desperation.The investor leaned back in his chair, a smug look on his face. "Your company is dead in the water, Isaac. There's no coming back from this," he stated firmly, crossing his arms.Isaac knew he had a situation at hand and yet he held firmly to his glass of wine calmly like he had the entire situation at hand.“You have profited quiet a lot from Ander

Evelyn sat in the dark room, her eyes filled with tears as she stared blankly at the untouched plate of food in front of her. She had been there for a while now and had refused to touch all the food served to her for fear that it might be poison considering that she was abducted and could not tell why.Liam stood outside the room, a blank expression on his face as he watched her through the small window.After staring at her for a while through the window, he twisted the door knob and stepped in, but she pretended not to have noticed his presence."Evelyn, can you hear me?"Evelyn sits on a wooden chair, her eyes staring blankly at the wall. She hears Liam's voice but doesn't respond.“How long do you intend to starve yourself, you do realize that you are going to be here for a while right, and doing this to yourself won't be of any help to you” there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he spoke but he tried to maintain his posture.Evelyn looked up, her eyes filled with fear and de

Isaac seemed to have grown thinner over the last few days of joggling with finding his wife and putting the company back in shape. He was at his office tapping frivolously on his desk while thinking of the next room at to go when his phone rang.He felt his heart skipped thinking that it could be his father and his numerous demands, but rather it was different.“Good day! I believe that I have Mr. Isaac on the phone?”“Yes please proceed”“I am Mr. Argent, the managing director of RENEWD COMPANY, a very close friend of mine gave out your number to me and I was assured of your capability to handle a long term construction project”He went ahead to speak and Isaac was stunned for moment, this was the first time since all this crises started that he was getting a new contract and it kind of felt strange to him.“Sure, how about you come to the office so that we can discuss more on the business arrangements and what kind of construction that you will be needing”“I would have loved to do

After the meeting was over, Isaac went ahead to shock hands with Mr. Argent before he watched him leave and he turned around to Lilian. “Why are you here, are you still playing your mind games?”“I am playing no mind games here, I told you about my feelings, I have nothing wrong by loving a man, the only thing I did was loving the wrong man”“Is that why you are here?”“I am here because I wanted to be sure that you secure the contract! I have seen what your company is going through and I still stand by what I told you last time at your office, I can help you turn the tides around, this contract is just a tip of an iceberg. There are so many others from where this came from that could help your company stand back that the investors will be begging to come back!”“If there is anything at all that involves betraying my wife, I will never go ahead with no matter how good that might sound, thanks for this deal, but I am never getting in bed with you”“Fine! I understand and all I can do

As soon as Isaac arrived at the office the next day, he called Noah to come over to the office, and Noah did not hesitate in arriving.“Boss! You wanted to see me!”“Yeah, I met with Lilian yesterday…”“Lilian again?”“I did not know that she was the one involve because I received a call who wanted to talk about business but when I went over to the venue that he wanted us meet, it turns out that it was Lilian who set up the meeting”“Oh I see, so why did you want to see me?”“She talked about Liam been involve and asked that we monitor him, there is a particular venue that he has been visiting lately, do you think that you can check it out and set up a footage to monitor it?”“Sure!” Noah replied as he sat in the computer and started typing on the computer. “How about you try confronting Liam about it and see if he shakes up, that will give us an idea if he knows about it!”“I think that you have a poin

Evelyn was fast asleep in the room where she had been locked up when she had the door clicked open and Liam was standing right at the door with another man whom she wasn't familiar with.“Hi Evelyn” He called out but she tried to pretend like she was asleep because she did not want to have a conversation with him.“I met with that wretched husband of yours, he had so much to say to me and what made me furious the most was the fact that he wasn't even searching for you, because he is so busy having fun with his new found girlfriend who is also a CEO and I am sure that you must know her, what is that her name again, was it Lilian!”He called and the name mentioned forced Evelyn to open her eyes as she sat upright. “What did Isaac say about Lilian?”“He had so much to say about her and how sweet she was and all that, like he had erased you completely from his memory.” Liam went ahead to sit next to her on the bed as his hand trail around her face, but Evelyn did not refuse this time bec

No matter how hard she kept screaming at the top of her voice, the men were stronger than her as they forced her up to the surgical table and tied her up.She was immediately sedated and at that moment, she could not longer scream as she stared blankly at them, filled with pain and regret at what they were about the do to her as she vowed to take her revenge on them no matter how long it takes.“Doctor you can proceed with the surgery and make sure that she survives, but if she doesn't, it won't be much of a problem, it can be considered as casualty in war”Robert expressed but Liam immediately stepped forward. “No, please you can't let her die, she needs to survive this, please I beg you” Liam sounded so desperate but all the doctor could do was nod his head.

Robert began pacing around as sweat began to drip from his forehead, no doubt that he was nervous and was trying all his possible best not to let it show. “You are bluffing Isaac, there has never been any fraudulent case between the senator and I. You have a record on and you are hoping to see me bluff out a crime that I did not commit, I am sorry, but it is not going to happen. Not today, I am not going to fall for your tricks!”He exclaimed but Isaac signals to one of his men who handed out a file to Robert. Robert felt a rush of adrenaline as soon as he glanced through the file and he knew for a certain that he had lost.Cold shiver ran down his spine, and for the first time ever, Isaac could see the fear in his eyes.

Isaac glanced at the screen of his phone and realized that it was Noah on the other end. “Hello Noah!”“Boss! I just got an information right now that Robert is about leaving the country through a shipment, you should hurry now or we might never get the opportunity to catch up with him”“That is strange, for someone like him, I thought that he was going to settle his score wit me first before leaving, if he is leaving now, then that means that there is definitely something wrong”“Then what do you suggest that we do at a moment like this?”“Mobilize the boys, but first we need to o find out his routine and how many of his men that are on the ship with him, the last thing that we need is making another mistake like the previous time. We lost a lot of men and I do not want that to repeat itself”“Alright Boss, I will work on that and get back to you” Noah responded before the call ended.

Regarding the loan that you collected from the bank and the effort to pay it back, I was thinking, how about we sell off one of our subsidiaries”“What! We can't do that, all the subsidiaries do have their functions”“Yes they do, but there are some of them that we can survive without untill we are able to stand back on our feet else this company might lose it foot”He suggested as

Robert lowered his head and after a while, he spoke again. “I am not certain that all you have said right now is true, but even if it was, it does not change the fact that Isaac was there and watched his sister drown. It was his job to protect her, his only job and he failed woefully at it, no matter what you chose to say, I can't forgive him that easily”“So what do you want to do, carry that burden of hatred for the rest of your life, are you not tired of this war with your son. His death isnt going to bring back Jessica and you know it, why going through all this.

Robert widened his eyes so hard because he could not believe what just happened right now.“Clara! How dare you raised your hand at me, do you realize what you just did?”“I should be the one asking you that, how dare you try to murder my son, he is my only son and I think that I have had enough of yo
