Patrick came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, and a water droplet still clinging to his skin. The steam from the billowed around him as he entered his bedroom, only to freeze in his tracks.He found his mother, Lovina, standing close to his bed. Clutching the pendant Mr. Benjamin has been desperately searching for.Her eyes blazed with a mix of anger and disappointment, while she stared at her son. “Why did you take it, Patrick?” She said with a serious tone. “How could you be this foolish by stealing from your stepfather.” She questioned with her voice trembling with fury.Patrick was struggling with his words, he was surprised by how his mother found out it was him. He has sneaked into Mr. Benjamin’s home office late at night, without anyone noticing him. His major reason was to take photos of a document, but he found it and couldn’t take his eyes off it.He felt his heart pounding fast in anticipation and disappointment. But he maintained a calm demeanour
“Yes, he did. But now I wouldn’t be getting any because of the golden boy, who ruined the plan. Father was willing to listen and accept the deal, not until Jason showed up with his assistant Elena.” He said with his voice boiling in inner rage.“You should have told me and I would have helped you talk to your father about it.”Patrick curses and continues to spill out words with anger, he allows his hatred to cloud his heart that he didn’t know when he voiced out about hiring an assassin to eliminate Jason.“I hate him so much that was why I hired someone to do.......” he paused.Lovina raised her brow to look at Patrick’s face, “What did you just do, Patrick.” She asked. “Don’t tell me you were behind the attack against him the other day.” Patrick swallowed his saliva, biting his lips. He doesn’t know how his mother would react to his unexpected confession.Lovina walked towards her son and engulfed him in a warm hug, Patrick’s eyes widened in disbelief.“I am happy you took a grea
Elena stood still with a confused facial expression, she had searched the entire drawer for the memo that Jason had asked her to prepare for his next business meeting. She moved towards the second drawer with her face pale.“Where did I keep it? Did I forget it at home?” She stopped with her index finger in her mouth.She ran her hand on her black hair, While the other hand was placed on her waist. Elena raised her head to look at the clock that was standing on the wall.“Oh no,” she said, remembering she had kept it on her desk at home earlier.Elena sighed, she moved to grab her phone and booked a ride that would take her home.“I need to go home and get the document,” she whispered.She stepped out of her office and made her way towards the elevator. It slid open and she found Loki coming out of it. Loki stared at her and could see how tense she was. “Miss Elena, Are you okay?” Loki asked with his voice barely above a whisper.“Yes, I forgot something at home and I need to get th
“No, sir.” She replied.Jason was angry, he scanned around the premises and there was no sign of her. He dialled the number again and was still not reachable.“Where could she be and why is she not picking up my calls,” Jason said with his teeth gritted in anger.He dialled Loki’s number, requesting for him to come to his office.Loki came immediately, he tilted his head slowly.“Young master, what is the problem?” He asked.Jason gazes at Loki with a furrowed brow. “Have you seen, Elena? I have searched her office for her and she is not there and her number is not connected.” He said.Loki inhales softly “Young master, I saw her leaving the office earlier, she was in a hurry.”Jason darted his gaze at Loki. “ Did she tell you where she was going?” He abruptly questioned.Loki tried to remember the event, “Yes, she said she forgot something at home and she was going to get them.” Loki replied smoothly.“She was going home to get something, where is Graham.” “He is downstairs, Master,
“We need to take the back door,” Ruger said hastily.The atmosphere was tense, Patrick and Jonathan rushed behind Ruger. They made their way towards the back door of the house, they could hear a voice from the entrance of the house. They moved into a small house that was behind the main building. Ruger opened a small door that led to a tunnel, and from there they escaped.The policemen surrounded the environment, they moved into a unit as they made their way into the house. They separated themselves into various rooms of the building until they found Elena, she was tied and blindfolded. The men weren’t able to find anything from the kidnappers, Patrick and his friends had made sure they cleared the room before leaving to avoid being tracked by the police.Jason heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Elena, he engulfed her in a warm hug. Elena had tears streaming down her cheeks. She held Jason tightly, and her mind was still engrossed with fear.“You are safe now, I will take you home,
The following morning at the Lewis mansion, Lovina was worried about her son, Patrick came back late the previous night, and she didn’t get to see him before she slept. She had a difficult night, she was thinking about their plan and she had to wake up early to check on her son and find out if everything was successful.Patrick was already awake when he heard a soft knock on the door. He was pissed thinking it was one of the servants as usual. He felt his anger aroused, he was planning on yelling at the servant when he got to the door.He was about to utter a word when his gaze fell on his mother. He swallowed his saliva quickly and walked back into the room with a saddened expression.Lovina could feel something was wrong, but she would like to hear the whole story about her plan from her son’s mouth.“You can’t greet your mother, are we having any issues?” Lovina said.“Good morning, ma. Are you happy now?” Patrick said and he moved back to the bed. Lovina shook her head in disap
Both stared at each other with their mind racing mixed with confusion and disbelief. Jason had his hand placed before his nose after they were hit by a foul odour which made Jason’s stomach churn with dread. He moved towards the man who was lying in a pool of his blood. Jason clenched his jaw in anger. It was clear he had been dead for some time.“He is dead, Master,” Loki said with his voice filled with confusion.Jason shook his head intermittently, he moved towards the door. “We need to call the police,” Jason said.Jason and Loki called the police team immediately and it took them a few minutes before they arrived with an ambulance.He stood back, trying not to disturb the scene any further. Jason was engrossed in thought, “Who killed him and why? Was this connected to Elena’s kidnapping, who could be behind this and what is their motive?” Jason said to himself.Jason and Loki watched as the police secured the scene, yellow tape was used to cover the entrance and not allow people
Jason moved towards the drawer, his hands were covered with a glove already to avoid leaving his fingerprint. Knowing he had limited time to do his search, Jason moved fast, he began searching through the clutter, looking for anything that might provide a clue about Frederico’s associate or his motive.He carefully searched through the drawer, overturning papers and examining a few pieces of furniture. He glanced at his watch, he knew his time was ticking and he needed to be fast. Jason was more determined and focused to find anything that could shed light and lead him to know the person behind what happened to Elena.“Where could this be? How come the house seems empty? Could it be that he wasn’t involved or did the police find anything?” He said to himself.Jason shook his head, he moved towards the desk in the living room. He checked through the desk and found a small card. He stared at the car and placed it into his jacket. He was about to go into the room when he heard a sudden
