Like a flash, it was the fifth day since Liliana's kidnap, and no one had been able to successfully track down Liliana or the kidnapper.It had been five days of mental torture for all her loved ones, including Nichola, who did not know how she was faring.He thought he would go crazy. How could she just have seemingly vanished into thin air?All the resources he had sent out in search of her had failed. He walked into his company briskly, trying hard not to frustration tell in his walking. Oliver came in after him to give him the update again."If you don't have any positive news, I don't want to hear it, Oliver."He sighed. Truly, he had no leading news. "Okay, young master. "Nichola toyed with a pen as he reclined into his seat and closed his eyes.He wished Liliana would just appear and massage his shoulders, telling him he should relax, and that she was there."I'm here! Nichola", he heard a feminine voice call from the entrance door.Heels clinked on his tiles as she strutted
Catherine ended her revelation with a sigh as she stared at Nichola's unreadable expression.The sound of his ringing phone permeated the silent office. "What is it."He answered it and Catherine observed the obvious darkening of his expression as he heard whatever the caller said."I'll be there in a moment"He picked up his suit jacket and walked out of his office. Catherine, oblivious to the reason of his reaction stood as well.He walked out of the office and she followed suit."I'm coming with you"He did not give her a response. He just kept walking and she took it as an affirmative for her to follow.As he entered his car and revved the engine, when Oliver rushed over to him."Oliver""Young master, we have the guy who tried to attack Liliana"Nichola's eyes darkened dangerously."My men got the man after trailing part of the attack that day to him. He refused to talk till he was tortured and nowhere is ready to confess"Nichola caressed his chin, boiling within but trying to
"Please, help me Steven", Sandra pleaded after explaining all that had happened to Stephen Grey.He smiled as he listened to her recount all that he was already aware of.He was silent on the line as he listened to her sob pitifully. "For the sake of partnership at least," she pleaded, and he sighed as though he bad just thought very hard about the subject.Sandra waited, her heart beating rapidly as she anticipated what Steven might say. She stared at Dane, who just stared at the television in front of him, obviously ignoring her."Okay, fine. I will do my best"She let out a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Thank you so much, Steven. Thank you. "The call ended, and she hugged her husband, who did not even look in her direction to see the smug look on her face."I have the assurance of help from Steven Grey," she boasted to her husband, who did not act like he heard her.She sighed. He really did not care.*Mark and Lisa went over their plan on how to extort as much money in Mark'
Liliana's face was swollen. She had cried herself to sleep since Scar had told her of his intentions and adamantly refused to change his mind.He had walked out on her, telling her to deal with her emotions and just face the reality that she would never see Nichola again.Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She stared at nothing in particular, sitting still on the chair she had sat for a long time, thinking.She wondered how worried Nichola, her parents, and friends would be. She had been gone for so long without a trace, and it did not seem like she would be found anytime soon because Scar seemed to be very meticulous in his planning.She had overheard him talking to someone Ln the phone about covering up his tracks to avoid being tailed by the police and all who had been sent to find Liliana.At the thought of Nicholw, her heart throbbed. All she had to do was trust him. She beat herself mentally for not even giving him a benefit of the doubt and just throwing him out of
"That is because there has been nothing to be worried Andrea. I think you should be more worried about Liliana's disappearance and how to get her back for your son""That is none of your business. Just make sure that Nichola is not out to get Liliana again. I can not risk Liliana going back to that son of a bitch""He won't. Trust me. He is busy with other things." Andrea narrowed her eyes at her suspiciously and said nothing anymore on that aspect. Suddenly, she questioned, " Where is your father? I promised to take care of his bills but I can't even find him at the hospital anymore. Have you taken him to somewhere else?" Catherine had already planned on hearing this and how to face this question so it didn't astound her when she heard this. Rather, she shook her head and maintained a straight face. " I just changed the hospital because I managed to get a contact with the divine healer who said he was going to heal my dad." She responded seriously, which resulted into
" During that time when I wanted to save you, I managed to saw a crescent shape on the chest of those strange people who attacked us but I couldn't decipher it so I didn't bother. It's just right now, I think the shape means something even though I don't know what it is." As she narrated this, the atmosphere dropped down to a nth degree.....With this, Nichola deliberated more on the issue. " There is more to it." He voiced out, pressing his hands together. " Yes, there is but I think we all know what's more important right now." Emilia looked at Nichola knowingly. Leonard sighed even more and moved closer to Emilia, holding her hand. " Your mother is right. We can wait. The family can wait but we have to save your family first." Something instantly tugged Nichola's heart but he coincided. " Oliver, investigate who Peter is and tell me why Andrea is so adamant to engage Liliana with his son." He ordered instantly. " Yes, young master." Oliver didn't waste a time and quick
Catherine was filled with so much joy that she could mot express in words as she left the hospital She had had a memorable time with her father, who was quickly recovering.She had talked with him about so many things. He had not lost his humour despite his long-term illness.They had joked and laughed and shared memories. She had also told him about Nichola and all that had been happening in her life. She also talked to him about the current news in the city as her father was someone who loved to be current with the news.She left out the parts of her being attacked and the job she had done for Andrea. She knew he would not be proud of it.She smiled as she pulled out of the hospital smiling as she recalled his now warm face that had glowed. He would be out of the hospital very soon and she could not wait to walk with him as he took his first steps out of the hospital after being in there for so long.She hit the road to her condominium. A hooded figure watched her leave the hospi
The resentment in her for Nichola grew with each passing second as Lisa sat in the room she had been confined in. "When the hell will Oliver be back?", she snapped at the men who held her hostage. They gave her nlank stare but did not respond. "I'm talking to you" Still no response. "You can't keep me locked up here without letting me know how long I'll be here" She groaned, still sulking. She could not wait to see Oliver she wished she could just devise a means to get out of the hospital. "At least let me know when I can go on a toilet break", she said. The men glared at her but refused to say anything. She hissed and turned her head to the other side in sheer anger and resentment. Who did these men think they were to hold her down against her wish? What did the company even think of themselves? She rolled her eyes when she saw through the corner of her eyes, one of the men who turned to look at her when she had gotten quiet and gave a satisfactory smile. She bit back a s
