HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME ABDUCTING OF JOSH
***The morning air was crisp and tinged with anticipation as Nathan waited to receive the delivery of the face mask that he bought online. After taking delivery of the face mask, he got ready as he rushed over to the spot where he asked his subordinates to meet him.Nathan and his subordinates crouched in the shadows outside Josh's small condo. They had been waiting for hours; their senses heightened, and every muscle taut with readiness. The mission was clear: kidnap Josh by any means necessary. Nathan wanted to make sure he got to the bottom of who knew that he was alive and who came after him.Nathan and his subordinates were all dressed in black overall outfits and had masks on. They had guns ready with other weapons to ensure that they got the job done. They knew that Josh was going to be around some guards, and they were ready to kill anyone beside Josh to abduct him."We've been waiting long enough," Nathan muttered, his voice low but steely with determination. "Keep your eyes
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME ABDUCTING OF JOSH 2
The wounded man gasped as the magic took hold, his muscles tensing with the shock of the healing process. But Nathan's grip remained firm, his determination unyielding.Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the wound began to close. The torn flesh knitted itself back together, the jagged edges smoothing into seamless skin. The pain faded, replaced by a sense of warmth and vitality.And then, with a final surge of energy, the wound vanished entirely, leaving behind only a faint scar as a testament to the ordeal. The wounded man's eyes fluttered open; his gaze was clouded with confusion."You're going to be alright," Nathan said, his voice soft but reassuring. "We've got work to do."As the wounded man struggled to sit up, Nathan turned his attention to Josh. With a sense of grim satisfaction, he approached Josh, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the clearing.Josh stirred, his eyelids fluttering as consciousness began to return. His eyes flickered open, wide with fear and confusion, as h

“You are lying!” Nathan yelled. Nathan just confirmed that Josh knew that he was alive because for him to reply that he has no idea where Nathan was in the first place instead of just telling them that Nathan died meant that Josh knew that he was alive and probably just realized that the question was a setup and replied in this way to keep himself on a safe side.“Y’all should beat him up!” Nathan commanded, looking at his subordinates. As his subordinates approached Josh, Nathan spoke. “If Nathan was dead, then why did you answer in the first place that you had no idea where you were? You think we are a bunch of fools?”The men started punching Josh in the stomach nonstop as he begged at the top of his lungs. “Please, I am telling the truth: Nathan is dead; the answer I gave in the first place was a slip of the tongue!”“You are lying!” Nathan yelled with a lot of aggression in his voice. “Beat him up properly after that, untie him, and go drop him on the side of the street somewhere
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME REJECTED PROPOSAL
***Later that night, Nathan got home conflicted as he laid on his bed with his gaze on the ceiling. On one hand, he felt that Josh knew that he was alive; on the other, he doubted it. He felt he needed to keep an eye on Josh. That would be the only way for him to truly know whether Josh knows that he’s alive or not.Nathan picked up his phone as he called one of the subordinates that went on the operation with him. After a few rings, the subordinate answered the call. “Raymond, I want you to follow Josh around, follow him even to the hospital that he would be taken to, and make sure you find out something useful for me. I feel like he knows that I am alive but is acting like a fool. Please keep an eye on him and give me an update. Is that clear?”"Yes, sir, I am on it.” After that, Nathan ended the call. He knew he could trust all his subordinates and knew how useful they all were.Now that he has someone to keep an eye on Josh, it was time for him to start thinking of a strategy he

Alex hoped that Karina would accept his proposal; he didn’t want to wait anymore to get married to her so that he could take over her company from under her. Alex was tired of playing the long game with her, as it wasn’t yielding any results.***Meanwhile, at the Blackwood mansion, the golden ray from the morning sun cast a warm glow over the entire hallways. Mrs. Blackwood stormed down the hallway with a furious look on her face. She was so disappointed in Karina and wondered why she would turn down Alex’s proposal. She arrived at her bedroom as she barged in without knocking.She saw Karina sitting on the edge of her bed. Karina was shocked as she wondered why her mom would barge into her bedroom like that. “What happened, mom?” Karina was curious to know what she wanted.Mrs. Blackwood asked in fury, her eyes flaring up. “Why didn’t you accept Alex’s marriage proposal?!”Karina now understood where her mom’s anger was coming from. It was no secret that her mom has always wanted he

“Mom, I don’t think now was the right time for him to ask me to get married to him; I still need some time; I am still getting to know him,” Karina hoped that her mom would understand her now.“For how long, Karina? For how long?” Mrs. Blackwood sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed next to Karina.“What do you mean for how long, mom? I still need time to get to know Alex more; we don’t get to see that often; marriage is a lifelong commitment; I wouldn’t want to divorce him down the line just like I did with Nathan.”Hearing this, Mrs. Blackwood now felt that she understood Karina’s worries a bit better. “So what are you going to do now? Because Alex told me that he’s willing to give you one last chance to accept his proposal,”Karina felt that this was the perfect way to find a way to get more time. “Why don’t you ask Alex to give me some time to consider his proposal?”"Alright, baby, I will do that for you.” After that, Mrs. Blackwood got up from the edge of the bed and went out
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME JOSH AWAKEN
***The late afternoon sun filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the sterile hospital room. Josh lay on the bed, his face contorted with pain and his body still bearing the marks of the recent attack. Mike sat beside him, his jaw clenched with anger and his eyes blazing with fury at the thought of someone daring to harm his brother and partner in crime. Josh was still unconscious, receiving all the treatment that he was receiving. Mike was patiently waiting for him to wake up so that he could question him about the person who attacked him and go after them.Moments later, Mike groaned as he opened his eyes.“Where am I?” Josh asked in a state of confusion.“You were beaten up badly and left at a roadside; you got brought into the hospital for proper treatment." Josh quickly recalled everything that happened to him, including where he was left on the street by those mysterious men."Who attacked you, Josh? Who were they?" Mike's voice was low and dangerous.Josh winc
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME MIKE'S CLEARED SUSPICION
Mike stroked his chin. "Who else would know he's alive except for us and our men?"“I think Nathan was the one that abducted you.”Josh nodded; his expression grim. "That's what I thought too, Mike. It has to be Nathan behind this, because apart from us, and our men no one else knows that he’s alive."A dark cloud of anger descended upon Mike's features. His mind raced with thoughts of revenge, but he wanted to be thorough with the whole thing, he first of all wanted to know if their men were the ones who perhaps told anybody outside that Nathan was alive before concluding that Nathan himself was the one behind the attack. "I'll summon our men," he declared, his voice a steely promise. "We'll find out if anyone leaked the secret if anyone dared to betray us to outsiders or Nathan himself."Josh's hands curled into fists at his sides, his fury matching Mike's. "I can't wait to get my hands on him," he growled, his voice thick with rage. Josh was looking forward to killing Nathan and wh

***Nathan sat in his dimly lit motel room, the events of the past few days weighing heavily on his mind. With Josh gone and his quest for revenge fulfilled, he felt a strange sense of emptiness gnawing at him. He knew he needed to leave the city for a while, to clear his head and find some semblance of peace to be able to think of his next move.As he pondered his options, an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning. He reached for his phone and dialed Andrei's number, his heart pounding with anticipation."Hello?" came Andrei's voice on the other end of the line."Andrei, it's Nathan," he said, his tone earnest. "I was wondering if I could come and spend some time with you in Romania."There was a brief pause before Andrei responded, his voice tinged with caution. "Nathan, are you sure that's a good idea? After all, you're the one responsible for Andrew's death. It might not be safe for you here."Nathan's heart sank at Andrei's words, the reality of his situation crashing down on h
REVENGE SERVED
***Nathan leaned forward in his chair, his expression serious as he addressed his subordinates through the group call. "Alright, listen up," he began, his voice low and commanding. "We've got a job to do, and we need to do it right."The faces of his subordinates appeared on the screen, their expressions reflecting a mixture of determination and anticipation as they awaited his instructions."We're going after Josh," Nathan continued, his tone unwavering. "But we're going to do it on our own terms. We can't afford any mistakes, so we need to be smart about this."One of the subordinates, a burly man with a stern expression, nodded in agreement. "Understood, boss," he said, his voice gruff. "What's the plan?"Nathan leaned back in his chair, his mind racing as he formulated his strategy. "We'll split into teams and approach from different angles," he explained, his voice steady. "I'll give each of you a specific location to rendezvous with Josh, and from there, we'll move in and take

Karina's smile faltered slightly at Gwen's words, her gaze dropping to her hands folded in her lap. "I know, Gwen. It was terrifying," she admitted quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.Gwen reached out, gently placing a hand on Karina's arm in a gesture of comfort. "Karina, you don't have to pretend with me. If something happened, if there's anything you need to talk about…" she trailed off, her voice filled with genuine concern.Karina's gaze lifted to meet Gwen's, her eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and apprehension. "Thank you, Gwen. I appreciate that," she replied softly, offering a grateful smile.Gwen squeezed Karina's arm gently before withdrawing her hand, her gaze lingering on her friend's face. "So, do you know who the men were? How did you manage to escape?" she pressed, her curiosity getting the better of her.Karina hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickering with uncertainty.

ALMOST CAPTURED
As he pressed forward, Nathan heard his name being called out from behind him. Instinctively, he quickened his pace, his heart hammering in his chest. He glanced over his shoulder and caught sight of a figure approaching rapidly."Keep moving," Nathan muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts of danger. He didn't recognize the person trailing him, and in that moment, his instincts screamed at him to flee.Before he could react, the figure lunged forward, arms outstretched in an attempt to embrace him. Nathan's reflexes kicked in, and with a swift motion of his hand, he conjured a spell that sent the assailant hurtling backward through the air.The man crashed to the ground with a thud, groaning in pain as Nathan wasted no time in putting distance between them.

GEORGINA'S PAIN
Karina's heart ached at Nathan's words, her mind flooded with a mixture of emotions.

"I love you, no matter what."There was a brief moment of silence between them, as the weight of Karina's words hung in the air. Then, Nathan spoke, his voice filled with gratitude and relief."Thank you, Karina," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you for understanding."Karina smiled, her heart overflowing with love and gratitude for the man she loved. "You saved my life, Nathan. I owe you everything."As they bid each other farewell, Karina couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over her.

KARINA BACK SAFE
***Meanwhile, Nathan's mind raced, the adrenaline still coursing through his veins. Despite the relief of having saved Karina and eliminated the immediate threat of Andrew, he knew that they were not out of danger yet. Andrew's men were still out there, and they needed to be dealt with before they could pose any further harm."Stop the car," Nathan commanded, his voice firm and resolute.The subordinate glanced at him, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "But sir, shouldn't we keep moving? We need to get you and Miss Karina to safety."Nathan shook his head, his expression determined. "We can't just leave those men behind. They're dangerous, and they need to be stopped."Without hesitation, the subordinate complied, pulling the car to a halt by the side of the road. Nathan wasted no time in reaching for his phone, his fingers flying over the screen as he dialed the emergency number for the police.As the call connected, Nathan quickly relayed the situation to the operator, providing the
ANDREW'S OPERATION 3
As Josh delved deeper into Andrew's background, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping over him. There was something about Andrew that didn't sit right with him, something dark and sinister lurking beneath the surface.But despite his misgivings, Josh knew that he couldn't afford to ignore the connection between Nathan and Andrew. If Nathan had sought refuge in Andrew's house, there had to be a reason. And Josh was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.With a heavy sigh, Josh made arrangements for a private jet that would take him and his men back to Belloberg city.

ANDREW'S OPERATION 2
Andrei sighed, the weight of their predicament evident in his voice. "Just promise me you'll be careful, Nathan," he implored. "I don't want to lose you."Nathan's throat tightened with emotion at Andrei's words. "I promise," he vowed, his voice unwavering. "I'll do whatever it takes to come out of this alive."With a final exchange of well-wishes, Nathan ended the call, his mind buzzing with a newfound sense of purpose.
