They talked for some more time in his office. Him telling her and asking her time and time again for her to tell him about the people that wanted him dead.

But the woman refused to review their identity.

All he could make of it, and the people he could think of, were his in-laws. After what he just did to them, they were out to get him and will do about anything for them to get their hands on his money and everything he had now.

“Listen, Natalia, I appreciate what you are doing here. But they wanted me dead because they didn’t want me to attend the party. Because of what I have now. So, they are not expecting me there. And I need to be aware of them when I show my face there. Just tell me who they are?” He pleaded.

But the woman just looked at him and smiled. Took another sip from the wine and slapped the bottle on the table. “We talked about being confidential. You almost refused to take this offer because I betrayed the people that hired me first. And besides, what will be the fun o

    He looked at her as he repeated the question, “what do you mean by the one I’m not expecting will be the one that hired you?”She smiled, looking at him, “nothing. I was just telling you to keep an eye open. And speaking of eye opening, your wife has been looking at us all this time. Actually, a lot of people are looking at us. I think she is jealous,” she spoke and tapped his shoulder as she walked past him.He stood there, thinking about what she just said to him. People were canning, that is one thing he knew. But what she said about him trusting people was something he really needed to put into consideration. What if as Natalia said the one his not expecting to hire Natalia was the one that hired her? That will give the person way too many chances to eat away with everything because he or she is not on the suspect list.Just as he turned to Natalia, Eliza called. “Trevor, can you come here please,” she gestured to where she was standing with three men that looked to be in their ea

    He looked at her with rage burning in his eyes when he asked again, “what the hell are you doing here, Natalia? I thought I made it clear that you need to leave this place,” he spoke and finally allowed Eliza to get out of his grip.“Well, I thought about everything. Your offer of me allowing you to be safe,” she spoke and walked past him, then locked the door and put the keys in her pants. “And I reached a conclusion dear,” she spoke and looked at Eliza. “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out between us, but it was nice doing business with you,” she spoke.Trevor stood there dumbfounded, trying to grasp what she was saying. What does she mean it was nice doing business with her? Was she saying that to him or to his wife?And if to his wife, when did Eliza and Natalia meet and began doing business together?“Oh, you didn’t tell him? Whoops,” she spoke and slapped a hand on her mouth. “I thought that is the reason his dragging you up here like a mad person,” she smiled at Eliza.“Natal

    He looked at them again, waiting for them to say what they wanted at his house. Why they would even show up and block him from going to work? But they just stood there. Watching him.“Aren’t you supposed to say something or anything? What do you want here?” He finally asked.Then one of the police officers spoke, “Sorry, sir, but someone reported you to us that you kidnapped their sister or something. So, we need to take you in, if you don’t mind.”He smiled, trying to be sane in all this madness that was going on in his life. As if messing with his company was not enough, they have gone to this extent.First, his wife hired some messed up assassin to take him down. When all he has ever done was love her. All he ever wanted was for her to love him back. Nothing more. But that is what she repays him with.And then they messed with his company and now this.“Listen, sir. I think they have been a misunderstanding here.....” before he could finish up the tall dark one spoke.“Anything you

    “What do you think you are doing?” Eliza asked as Natalia locked her up. “I thought you were just messing with me and playing along. Like part of the plan for you to do what I asked you to do. What the hell is the meaning of this, Natalia?” She scolded.“Oh, precious lady. Seriously, woman. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you get involved with an assassin? I kill people for a leaving, woman,” she spoke and turned her back on her. “I need money or I will go hungry to bed. And I can never do that to my beautiful self,” she spoke.“But made you think Trevor will show? What I did to him was worse than everything I have ever said or done to him. He will not show up here to save me. And much less spend money on someone who wanted him died,” she spoke as she looked down.Natalia turned with a smile on her face. “That is what you think. Because sadly, you never got to learn to say what is inside your husband’s heart. How did he ever end up marrying you in the first place?

    He sat in a rather dim place. With only one source of light. And they seemed to be no hope inside. But he was trying to hold on to the little hope he was left with.He looked from left to right. Pupils a bit dilated even though he was trying to pretend all was okay. That he got this.But the truth of the matter this was beyond anything he could have ever thought of. This was something he never imagined to happen to him.One day, he was excited that he was now rich and could afford anything he wanted. That no one will ever look down on him. And the next day he was locked up. How was that even possible?Was it a curse or what? Destined to be poor. The moment you have money, some messed up crap happens.Before he could lose himself in thoughts even more, the same police officers that took him in walked in. Smiling.He looked from one to the other. Putting on a rather determined face.“So, here is what will happen. We will ask questions and I expect you to be truthful. This will save both

    “Wait, back up a little. You said Mr. Noah helped you to marry her?” Micheal asked.Trevor smiled and took a sip from his coffee. “Yes..” he began. He then went on and told Micheal all about what happened. How he was treated by the family after Mr. Noah died.All the humiliation he went through by his wife’s friends and all her workmates. How Jackson never missed a chance to make sure he felt like he was a good-for-nothing person.How his brothers-in-law treated him and how they beat him up when he went to the company. All he went through he explained to Micheal.The man was just in awe the all time. At some point, his eyes even got watery.Trevor smiled again, “man, it is really nothing. And I need you to be strong for me. I didn’t hire you to break down in court.”“I’m not crying,” he argued.“Whatever. Should I continue or the little miss would want to take a quick break,” he spoke and laughed lightly.Michael’s face actually turned red. “Trevor, I’m happy you are having fun despit

    They sat in the living room of the mansion. All are in-laws looking at him. In surprise and in shame. But not grandmother. The woman was just hell bent on accusing him of kidnapping his wife.But the rest seemed to be okay at the moment. Well, not completely, but they didn’t accuse him as she did.“He could have kidnapped her and after seeing we are giving him a hard time, told that mistress of his to bring my granddaughter back,” she spoke, pacing up and down with her stick.He just sat there, not daring to say anything. And he could have done whatever he wanted at this moment. Chase them out of his mansion because, after all, they have done nothing but bother him.But again, they refused to drop the charges. Said they will not believe a word he was telling him. And they will do about anything for him to pay for everything they were accusing him to have done.Micheal looked at him from where he was standing. Silently asking him again why he was tolerating this ungrateful family. But

    All of them at the table were in panic and suit. He looked at Mubanga and she just went and took her seat to the side. What could the woman do about it? She was just a secretary.“Trevor, you need to see what you do about this. We can’t just sit here waiting for things to go well. We need to find out what happened. You have lost one of your customers, more will be lost,” James spoke.He sighed, looking at the article that Mubanga just handed me. It was the opening of a new wine company in town. And the damn place looked very elegant and pleasing to the eyes.“I’m sure they will be getting wine from that new company,” she spoke, looking at all of us at the table. “I will go there to find out more about it. Their annual opening is tonight,” she spoke.“I’m coming with you. We need to know who and what we are dealing with here. We just can’t sit here and forget about this. They knew our customer, and they knew how to best beat us to get that customer. Someone knows something,” He spoke.

    The whole thing seemed way too good to be true. Not that the news all together was okay, but the fact of him finding out the person that kidnapped his wife. Bad that too, the person he has been telling them was not good.He turned to look at his wife, and she was lost in thoughts. He just rested his hands on her things and smiled at her as he drove them back home again.“Trevor, what if mother is right about Alexander? He is still my brother, and I was the one who brought him to you guys,” she said.He just kept his smile on for good measure, “Elizabeth, you don’t have to worry about that. You have just been through some major trauma and I don’t want you to start worrying about your half brother. Yes, he is your brother, but that will not change the fact that he tried to kill you,” he pauses as he takes a breath. “Listen, if it turns out it’s him, I will take care of it. You just worry about being calm for that baby. We do want that baby to be safe innit?” He said,She sighed, “alrigh

    “What are you doing here, Eliza? And with him,” her mother said glaring at Trevor. “You know how we feel about him. And mother is not feeling too well, him being here will only worsen her condition. I would leave if I were you,” she added and took her seat. Eliza just sighed as she looked at Trevor then walked over to sit next to her mother, “I’m fine thank you and how are you, mother,” she said, smiling at her for good measure. She never wanted what happened to them to happen. But things just happened and there was nothing she could have done about it. She tried helping them but they made things worse for themselves. Even Trevor didn’t want to chase them out of his house, but he had no choice after what they did to him. They were not his favorite people in the world, but for the fact that they were his wife’s family and that Mr. Noah wouldn’t have liked for his family to be elsewhere, he wanted to help them. But fate happened. “Mother I will be having your grandchild for the lov

    She wanted him to remain outside because she knew what her mother and grandmother felt about him. But again, she might need him inside. He might be the person she needed to keep her company and make things make sense. She hoped. They walked into the elevator in silence and it went up. He wanted to open up, he wanted to tell her why exactly he wanted to come and talk to her mother and grandmother so badly. But again, he didn’t want to ruin this. And besides, he wasn’t even sure of what he was thinking might have happened and might be going on. But he just wanted to conform and get them out of the picture. Make sure they were not involved in any of this. Or else everything will be ruined for him and her. They got out of the elevator and walked to the room in total silence. “Again, are you sure about what you are doing? You don’t have to do this, Trevor. Don’t be stupid. You can wait for me outside or anywhere I can find you. I know them and it’s better if I talk to them alone,” she

    “Finally, you are leaving this place brother-in-law,” Mateo said as he helped Trevor out of bed. “You know, I knew you were going to be fine. I knew she was stressed for no reason. I know how stubborn you can be. You made our lives hell with grandfather. And that's all because of your stubbornness, brother,” he said, smiling at his sister. “See, your husband is fine.” They just smiled at him as well. He was happy to see that Mateo was here to help. Something about him being here just made things that were going through his head easier for him. And that he had someone in Eliza’s family might be good.But also because he wanted to prove to himself that none of them were involved in his wife’s kidnapping. That was all he wanted and he was happy to find out none of his family members were involved. But again, thinking about everything and what kind of people his in-laws are, they can do anything for money and pretend as if nothing bad happened. But kidnapping the daughter of the family

    “What are you planning to do Moses? It has been weeks and you haven’t said anything about what happened. We can’t just let them get away with this because you can’t think straight. What should we do?” She asked as she walked to sit next to him. “I love you and I don’t want to force you to do things. But I’m just willing to do more for my kids. They can’t come into this world without us doing something about their lives. We can’t even take care of ourselves, how will we take care of our kids? You wanted one, didn't you?” She asked, playing with his hands. He just smiled at her and looked down again. He didn’t know what to do or say. He thought about what would happen but nothing came to him. He knew he had to do something about this. He knew if he didn’t act smart and listen to his wife it won’t be things at his place. He loved her and wanted to do what she told him. But what could he do about what happened? He didn’t want to do something that would upset his mother. His mother neve

    “Mr. Mwansa, we need to find those people. We can’t just leave them after they kidnapped one of the richest people in the city. Try to remember anything about them sir, please,” a police officer asked with his note book in his hands. Trevor thought about everything for a while, but nothing. All he could remember was that the man was tall and well built. Anything other than that he didn’t know. And that the man seemed to have been forced to do what he was doing. He didn’t remember anything else about the people that kidnapped his wife. “I have already told you what I know about those people. I didn’t see them clearly. I went there during the night and that too in the forest. The only source of light there was the moon. I’m sorry, but there is nothing I remember,” he said, holding Eliza’s hand even more tightly. “And you miss,” he said, turning to look at Eliza. “Did you ever see the people that kidnapped you? Your husband speaks of a woman? But when we talked earlier you didn’t men

    After a while Micheal finally left and went home because he also wanted to get a shower and he had some things he needed to do for the company. And Trevor just told him that he needed him to be careful because none of them knew what those people would do next. “I was really scared when that man shot you, Trevor. I thought we have lost you,” she said, holding his hands. “I love you. And never do that ever again. Do I make myself clear?” She scolded and rested on his chest. He sighed and kissed her hair, “very clear.” Then he added as an afterthought, “where is Mubanga? She came to visit didn’t she? And does she know that I’m awake?” He asked. Eliza got up from his chest, “yes she knows. Trevor it was on the news and newspapers. Everyone in this city knows you, so she did find out about it. And I talked to her, she has been meaning to come and see you. Even when I was coming here she called me to say that she would come. It’s just that she has been the one running the company. Holdi

    “I don’t even know, Micheal. All I know is that they kidnapped my wife and wanted my company and money. Who they are and what motives they might have apart from wanting money from me and my company I have no idea,” Trevor explained finally sitting up straight on the bed. Micheal thought about it for a while then spoke, “we need to figure it out before they show up. They haven’t come yet and I’m sure they are planning something big. They have the papers and the money, they might be waiting for something big. I just don’t know what it is,” he said looking at Trevor. Trevor sighed and then smiled. “What?” Micheal asked. “I didn’t do it,” he said, looking away for a second before turning to look at him again. “What do you mean you didn’t do it? What didn’t you do?” He asked, looking at Trevor questionably. “I didn’t give them anything. I didn’t give up the money nor the company. Those papers were fake. And most of the money was fake as well,” he said but again added before Micheal c

    He sat in the living room alone, trying to think of a better way to deal with what was happening in his life. Just when he thought he had done it and finally was leaving this life it turned out he was played. Knowing Trevor and what he had heard about him, he should have expected that but he thought because of Eliza Trevor was desperate and would do about anything without thinking, but he was proved wrong. The place was dim, the only source of light being a candle that sat on the table. The place didn’t look that bad though, but it didn’t look that good either. The man and his wife ran a bar and it seemed not to have been making a lot of money for them. All his life he wanted to get what his family had. He lived with his mother all his life and she never wanted him to do what he was doing. She tried by all means to keep him far away from Eliza’s family and their drama. But after the poor woman died, his mission had been to get back at the family and get what rightfully belonged to
