Chris Bolton and Mabel Sanders had been sitted for a while and having a small conversation when Mabel reached out for her drink again with still shaky hands and accidentally knocked Chris' glass over, emptying its contents on him.

"Oh my word! I'm so sorry Chris," she almost yelled as she bolted out of her sit.

"It's fine Mabel. Relax. You've had a terrifying experience" Chris said as he got off his sit and helped her back into hers. "I'll just nip down to the restroom real quick so this doesn't leave a nasty stain. Be safe, OK?" he finished as he held her gaze. She nodded and he left.

Without wasting a second, she poured a powdered substance into what was left of his drink and shook the glass to mix it up, then she poured some of hers into his. Afterwards she quickly grabbed his phone which he had left on the table, hoping against all hopes that he was still the same Chris Bolton who never bothered with phone locks. She powered the phone and swiped at the screen and it immediately

    Michael Bolton cleared his throat and said "Ladies, my only son is missing and I don't like it." He turned away from the window and walked towards the table to stand at the head, but didn't take a sit. "I need solutions ladies and I'm going to start by asking who the hell was with my son today" he asked and made eye contact with them one after the other. When he got to Mrs. Yvonne, she spoke up."A certain Rohas Morello was his assigned guard and driver for the day because today was Ms. Rose' day off and the young master had wanted to go out." she said."Bring me this Rohas Morello, now." Michael said and Mrs. Yvonne nodded and excused herself. "While she gets him, do any of you have any ideas for me?" Michael Bolton asked the other ladies still sitted at the table but none of them said a word and he grunted in frustration. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, there was a slight rap on the door before it was pushed open and Mrs. Yvonne walked in and was followed closely b

    Mabel Sanders and Arthur McDoyle stared daggers at each other as they each tried to stare the other down. As far as Mabel Sanders was concerned, Arthur McDoyle was being a greedy little knucklehead and he was too blinded by his greed to be able to see it, but she was quite fine and she wouldn't let him ruin all her good work so far. She knew Michael Bolton was most certainly not sitting quietly on hoping to hear from some kidnappers especially when he had enemies like Thomas Bolton and his new son Richard. No. The man was most certainly in some room with his best human haunting dogs putting together a plan to begin to sniff his heir out and she wanted to give him the easy way out as soon as possible and be done with the whole affair, but no, the walking sack of bones and meat she had made the foolishly mistake of teaming up with was insistent on demanding an excessively ridiculous amount. She looked at the man opposite her with his jaw set in a stubborn line and his eyes fixed stubbor

    Thomas Bolton's phone rang on his bedside table beside him and he picked it up with a grunt. Who the hell would be calling him at this hour??! He looked at the time before checking the caller ID and saw that it was well past 3am and he frowned and looked at the caller ID; Richard. His frown deepened and he accepted the call."This had better be good or I'm using you as my target for darts the next time I play," he said as soon as he placed the phone on his ear."Oh Thomas, it's good and it's not good; Chris Bolton's missing," Richard said and Thomas slowly sat up in his bed."I'll meet you in my personal lounge in the next ten minutes." he said and hung up. Thomas Bolton flipped over his duvet and got out of bed then after a brief struggle to get his feet into his scuff slippers, he got to his feet and headed to his bathroom, his mind occupied with thoughts all the while. Chris Bolton was missing. Now how had the entitled and privileged simp pulled that off? How did a grown ass man ge

    "Well that went to shit rather fast," Richard said when Thomas silently and calmly dropped his phone beside him on the chair. He had only witnessed Thomas' end of the call but he could tell from what he had heard that the call had in no way achieved the goal he'd had in mind for it to achieve. If anything, things between Thomas Bolton and Michael Bolton had probably just gotten more heated and strained and Michael Bolton was probably ordering his minions to look for anything to tie himself and Thomas to this business of Chris' disappearance and Richard didn't like the thought of it one bit. He looked over at Thomas with irritation. The old fool couldn't just hold back his foul tongue for a few seconds, could he? For Pete's sake!!!!! All he had freaking had to do was bite back his foul tongue for a few seconds and establish both their innocence to Michael Bolton and then offer to give any resources they could to ensure Chris Bolton returned safely, but no! Oh no, Thomas Bolton was too

    Mabel Sanders quickly hung up the call and drew in a shaky breath. Michael Bolton had somehow found out everything. Shit. Shit. Shit. What on Earth was she going to do now? Should she leave the country? Go somewhere else and start afresh with a new identity? That certainly sounded better than whatever twisted punishment that sicko, Michael Bolton, would want to give her for kidnapping his son. Yes, she would probably be on the run for years but at least she would be alive, plus, she was really smart so she could definitely play this game with him. But how on Earth had she been caught so soon? Shit. Shit. Shit. How was she going to contact Arthur and inform him about the situation on ground? For all she knew, her house was already being monitored and Michael Bolton and his minions were probably watching her every move. They could also have found a way to monitor and even listen in on her calls. Shit. Shit. Shit. This was bad. What was she going to do? Should she call her father and con

    Mabel Sanders drove straight to her normal hospital, careful to watch and observe closely if she would see anything out of the ordinary, like a car that had been behind her and stayed on her route for a long time, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. As she drove she tried to come up with an excuse to give the receptionist at the hospital as to why she needed to make use of their phone. She got to the hospital and parked her vehicle at the parking lot then brought out her phone to quickly memorize Arthur's number. She was about to step out of the car when she caught sight of the bag she had packed in the morning. Would she still need it? She was sure no car had tailed her. She would just leave it behind and go about her movement as she was supposed to. She opened the door to step out then as a last minute decision she turned and grabbed the bag. She would just play it safe and go with the other plan. She walked into the hospital and walked up to the receptionist's station with he

    At Rose' words Michael Bolton felt his heart leap. Chris' phone could now be tracked. That was way better than having some smart barbie doll for a lead, although personally, he would have loved to have had Mabel Sanders tailed, but he had decided to let it go when the four ladies had dismissed that as a waste of time, saying that she wouldn't have let herself be seen with Chris the previous day if she had plans to be involved in a plan to kidnap him on that same day. They had said that in their opinion, Mabel Sanders was smarter than that. Personally though, Michael Bolton felt off about Mabel Sanders and he would personally have someone tail her if the lead on Chris' phone didn't bring his son back to him before 12 noon that day. In the meantime, they had to act quick. They had to follow the new lead that the location of Chris' phone had just presented and hope that it would actually take them to him. He was actually beginning to get really worried when they had still not gotten any c

    Sitted impatiently at the bask sit of the speeding cab but also preferring to remain composed, Mabel Sanders tried her best not to betray any signs of nervousness. Something was certainly wrong. She could feel it really deep within her but she couldn't quite place her hands on what it was. Unconsciously, she took her right hand to her mouth and bit down on its thumb nail. This operation had certainly gotten complicated and there was no way it would still go as smoothly as she had planned. She should never have gone home the previous night. If she had just ignored her need for comfort then the money would probably be sitting in beautifully in her account already. There was no need crying over spilled milk now though. She would just have to keep hoping that everything was fine and would turn out fine and this nervousness she was feeling was just a result of the fact that she was late and she knew it could jeopardize the success of the whole operation she had worked hard to put together.

    Thomas Bolton grabbed a dagger and lunged at Richard with a scream and just as he was about to drive it straight through his heart, Richard quickly sidestepped and the dagger grazed his arm slightly and Thomas fell to the ground. As he struggled to get to his feet, he heard a gunshot and felt a pain sear through his left foot. Bloody bastards!! Getting shot in the foot again!! He felt two pair of arms grab him and place him firmly back on his sit. As he sat, Chris grabbed a pistol from the weapons strap on the waist of one of the guards and pointed it at Thomas' head and cocked it and Thomas smiled at him."I don't think your pretty woman's going to like you very much if you kill me now." Thomas said with a smirk. "I mean, I haven't gotten around to telling her about her lost sibling and believe me, she'd really like to know that," he finished and Chris lowered the gun. "What? You know my siblings whereabouts?" Sarah asked and looked at him with teary eyes. "Of course I do. I kep

    Thomas Bolton stared at Richard then looked at the gun in his hand. He felt betrayed. Just when he had shown a little trust in him, he had taken advantage of that trust and stabbed him in the freaking back. He had sold him to his enemies and for how much, he wondered. He looked back up at Richard and could see that his eyes were emotionless, almost like he had sold his soul or something. Thomas wondered if that change had been present in him all week and he had just been too oblivious to notice it or if Richard had actually done a very good job of masking it. What had turned him that way? He turned to look at Chris Bolton and his company. He recognized both ladies well enough. He had held one hostage amd the other, he had killed her father. Well, Chris Bolton had certainly picked his crew right. Between all three of them who seemed to be head of the group, he had certainly caused them a lot of pain and hurt. He tore his eyes away from the three of them and looked at Victor. Now that o

    Chris Bolton was sitted in Michael Bolton's study with his laptop open in front of him but his mind was occupied. He is was in love with Sarah but couldn't confess it and he knew it wasn't because he was scared of being rejected by her or because he was worried about his father not accepting it. The reason he was worried about expressing his feelings for Sarah was because of Monica. He couldn't deny the fact that they had both had some tension between them when they had initially met. He had most certainly had something for her and he felt like she she had also had a thing for him, but he wasn't sure if she still had it. He has tried not to acknowledge his feelings for Sarah for a long time because he had felt like they made him disloyal to Monica, especially if she still had those feelings. What was he going to do? Was he supposed to just ask her? Wasn't that___? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door and just as he opened his mouth to call for whoever it w

  • CHAPTER 179

    Richard aimed his gun at Luke Freeman and cocked it. Like his client Thomas Bolton, the bastard didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and Richard without a doubt had absolutely no issue in giving him what he deserved. Besides, Thomas Bolton had betrayed him and there was no saying that the smart lawyer wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was just that afternoon that Thomas Bolton had reminded him about the possibility and risks of conversations being recorded. There was no saying that the sneaky smart ass hadn't recorded their conversation with plans to have him reported and arrested. Who knew? He really couldn't trust anyone. There was no saying that Luke Freeman wouldn't betray him because when all was said and done, Richard didn't actually have a single soul in the universe he could rely on to look out for him. He thought he had totally gotten rid of his little hopes and expectations of good from Thomas Bolton but apparently he hadn't because he could feel a tear trickle do

  • CHAPTER 178

    Luke Freeman wordlessly took the sit Richard had motioned him into with the gun in his hand. Wasn't he the adopted son of Thomas Bolton? What did he want with him? Had they had an issue earlier in the day? Why was he in his house at such a time of the night and with a freaking handgun in his damned hand? What could he do? Should he try to set off an alarm or something? What warning signal could he send his neighbours that would alert them that he was in danger? His neighbourhood was actually quite a quiet one full of people who minded their business so the chances of anyone actually noticing whatever signal he gave was a pretty slim one and the chances of anyone noticing that signal and actually acting on it was next to non-existent. He was certainly toasted. The young man with handgun which he was freely brandishing at him, could kill him and no one would know. Why on Earth had he given in to his tiredness and not listened to the voice that had told him to stay back at the office and

  • CHAPTER 177

    Richard remained sitted in his position as he replayed the conversation he had just listened to in his head. Well. Well. Well. It seemed like sneakily getting a voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation had most certainly paid off. So Thomas Bolton wanted to make some changes and adjustments to his will now, did he? That had without a doubt been the most - if not the only - important and interesting part of their conversation for Richard. He had to give it to his sixth senses for making him listen to that voice recording till the end of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. What were the present contents of Thomas Bolton's will? What "changes and adjustments" could he possibly want to make? As far as Richard could tell he was the only heir of the old and insufferable bastard. Yes he was adopted but he was quite sure he was the only heir of Thomas Bolton. Didn't that naturally mean he was supposed to be the sole inheritor to all of the annoying geezer's

  • CHAPTER 176

    It had been almost three hours since that annoying brat, Luke Freeman had appeared after being sent straight from hell to disturb Richard's peaceful afternoon and after haven restlessly and absent-mindedly seen a movie, Richard was itching to go get his phone and listen to the voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. He had instructed a maid to immediately inform him about Luke Freeman's departure but she still hadn't shown up. What on Earth could the two men be talking about for so long anyways? As his mind raced with the endless possibilities about the contents of their conversation, he heard a faint knock on his door and he bolted out of his bed and rushed at the door. He opened the door and as soon as he saw the maid standing there he rushed past her without waiting for her to say a word. He headed straight for Thomas Bolton's lounge and he tried his best not to run and only appear like someone who had urgent and important matters to deal with. He soon go

    Chris Bolton stood at the entrance of Sarah's room as the realization that he was in love with her hit him. He had tried to ignore these feelings because they had been trying to get attention at a wrong time, but he couldn't ignore them anymore, not after seeing her sitted on her bed with her hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun and her upper body covered in a big sweater and that innocently welcoming smile on her face. He couldn't say for sure how long he had felt that way but he could say for sure that his feelings were very much there and alive. They actually explained a lot. They explained why he had recently began to feel so drawn to Sarah. He had tried to ignore and not acknowledge them but that hadn't sent them away. If anything, it seemed like ignoring and not acknowledging them had probably only helped them quietly grow stronger. He stood at the door and stared at her even as his discovery opened up a dam of thoughts in his head. Why had he been doing his best to igno

    In Thomas Bolton's lounge, Richard continued to take in the stranger who had walked into the lounge a little under a minute ago. From his rectangular rimless glasses to his suit pants and shirt and down to the black attorneys bag he was carrying, he certainly wasn't their usual type of company and Richard wasn't sure how he felt about him. While he didn't seem to spell danger, Richard also didn't care for his presence in the lounge as he had never really been a fan of strangers, especially when they did what he considered to be an invasion of his comfort space and invade his comfort space, this stranger was. Technically it was Thomas Bolton's but who cared? Thomas had come to accept Richard's constant presence in the lounge and Richard had definitely been enjoying it but at that moment, the stranger was taking away his comfort and Richard didn't like it one bit. He looked at him with his left eyebrow raised but the stranger just kept smiling at him. What was he? A robot? A raised eyeb
