Harrison felt dizzy. His body felt so weak, yet he felt like there were deep cuts on his body. After waking, he remembered exactly what happened and quickly wanted to take a stance to defend himself but after so much struggle he remained unmoving at a spot.Looking down at himself, he found a rope tied around him, restraining his movements. He tried and tried but to no avail. The rope was too strong for him to break free from.That aside, he looked around to examine where he was only to see he was in an abandoned warehouse. The place was so dark, but there was a little lamp hung up on the wall that was providing light to the place.The stench of rotten food filled the place, making his nose pungent.“Ahh, damn it!” Harrison cursed as the smell was so putridUnknown to him that his movement had alerted the figures who abducted him, and they came barging into the place thinking he had escaped. When they saw he was still bound to the chair but was awake, they quickly rushed to call their
Harrison couldn’t believe what his ears were hearing. He could have sworn that Ramon would never lie to him, so why was he hearing the latter did?Ramon promised to show Harrison his father when the time was right, but this man was telling him that his father was dead. How? Did Ramon lie, so Harrison would accept the company? Harrison felt so lost in his thoughts.“Well, that doesn't concern me. Our father left all his property in your name. Part of it should be mine. I suggest you know what that means?” The man grumbled.Harrison could now tell what his main intentions were. The man before him wasn't seeking revenge but wealth. He wanted part of Sterling Corporation but if so, why not confront Ramon himself?“Why don’t you meet Ramon and leave me out of this?” Harrison sneered.“What?” The man was baffled by Harrison's reply. Why was the lad looking like he wasn’t affected by what he said, or did he not care or what?“Are you telling me you aren't concerned about your property? The
On the outskirts of the city, Caroline woke up shoved beside a massive trash can while rotten food and booze poured on her. People passing, saw her as a drunk who was misled and ended up sleeping there instead of going home. No one tries to offer her care or find out why she was there. Rather, if they had the chance, they might even toss her into the trash can, so she could just be there.Waking up, Caroline found herself in a mystery. The surroundings didn't look clear to her at first so she wiped her eyes to see properly.Just after wiping, she caught an awful smell which made her choke on her spit and was made to cough. That aside, she noticed she wasn’t wearing the Chanel dress but rather some shaggy clothes.The cloth was torn in most parts and was short, exposing her thighs. Caroline felt bitter as she realized she must have exposed everything to the public eye.Then again, she remembered what happened last night. How she and Harrison were knocked out. Quickly, she looked aroun
“I never thought things would turn out to be like this. Those fools walked out on us!” Stephen kept grumbling as he paced around the room painting hard after he was being put on the run by Whitney’s men.He didn’t try to explain what happened, as what was bothering the whole family was more. Grandmother had shut herself in a room and chased them away.Now they were left with figuring out what to do or grandmother promised to punish them. Rachel, who was the cause of it, was lost and bothered among all of them since the fault was centered on her.She sat down just beside Linda thinking thoroughly about what to do when suddenly the door came open and the person who they never expected showed up.“Caroline?” All of them gasped, standing up on their feet like they had seen their worst nightmare.Caroline, who walked in, was in tears. She didn’t even bother about what they were thinking or what they would do to her. After all, she was the one who was shunned so even if they wouldn't apolog
Having no choice but to leave, Caroline walked on the street thinking of where to go next. If her family wouldn’t offer her money to get Harrison back, then who would?Who would be able to offer her a whopping sum of a hundred million dollars? That money was way too much and the period given to her was very short.How could she raise that amount of money in less than twenty-four hours?Just then, she thought about Ramon. Since he offered them help that day, maybe he could lend her some money. But now the real problem would be how to contact him. Getting to see him was impossible, and contacting him was even worse.Still trying to conclude, she figured the only way to see or get a clue about where he could be was to go to Sterling Corporation.Quickly, she boarded a taxi and drove off to the company.——Caroline alighted the cab and walked into the company hurriedly. Her hair was such a mess giving out a bad impression of her, yet she wasn't concerned about that.When she was seen runn
The car pulled over and Whitman went into the company with Caroline. Everyone was shocked to see the mad woman who they sent away walking back into the company with not just anyone but Whitman.They didn’t fail to see how Whitman was cowering in fear, signifying that the woman was someone significant. The guards and the receptionist especially knew their jobs would be put on the line for what they had done.“Ooh, I know this woman,” the receptionist said, shivering. Just now she remembered that Caroline was the same woman who came in weeks to apply for a contract. That same woman was welcomed by Ramon himself with full hands.Ramon even went to extra lengths to warn her that in any circumstance, if Caroline came to the company, she should be let in, but then the receptionist did the opposite. She even worsened everything by asking the guards to send her out.“What do you mean you know her?” The guards were overwhelmed at first and after hearing what she said felt like a giant boulder
“Hundred million dollars? If I may ask, what do you need such an amount of money for?” Whitman asked. Even though it was just a little amount to him, it shouldn't be the amount needed by someone like her. What would she use it for?On the other hand, Ramon also shook his head, waiting to hear the answer she was going to give. Though he dared not ask any further questions as he thought it must be a test from Harrison, even at that he couldn't help but be shocked.“I am sorry if that came out too sudden, but I require it to save my husband,” Caroline said after reading their reactions. It was expected. No one would hear that amount of money and wouldn't gasp in shock.Hearing what she said made both men curious. Help her husband? What is going on?“Can you be specific? What is going on with your husband?” Ramon asked, running impatiently as he could smell something was wrong.“He has been kidnapped,” Caroline said quickly.“What? Young-” Whitman swallowed the remaining words back after
“Where is the location?” Ramon asked.“Laver Hotel. I think it's almost time” Caroline replied.“Yes, it is. I will get my men. Also, Whitman will be here soon” Ramon replied and quickly swiped out his phone. After surfing through for a few seconds, the sounds of footsteps started approaching.Towards the door, ten men in suits stormed the place and went down on their knees in the presence of Ramon.“We came as soon as we received your text” among them, Lucas spoke.“Good. Now get the car ready. We are going to tail Caroline as she is heading towards Laver Hotel” Ramon said.“Right on it sir” Lucas stood up and ordered his men to do just as they were told. He could have gone alone with them, but Ramon called him back.“You wait… you are going to help Caroline find a taxi and also carry down the cash into the car” Ramon ordered.“Yes sir. Your wish is my command” Lucas replied looking so serious. Ramon had given all the details in the short text, and it was more than enough to get both
