She bent to pick a document that had just fallen from her hands, and the hitman muttered a string of unpleasant words.Catherine's head popped up after picking the document and entered into her car and began to pull out of the parking lot.He sat on his motorbike and put on his helmet. Lowly, he revved the engine.Exhaust fumes escaped from its rear as he pulled out of the area, trailing Catherine's car. He gave a distance between them to avoid being suspected.Catherine's slender fingers drummed against the steering of the car as she maneuvered to the next lane.She took a glance at her side mirror and narrowed her eyes.She swerved into a street nearby sharply, putting her foot down on the accelerator and letting off a light exhaust.The hit man, not expecting her sudden change in direction, made a turn also into the street she had entered and frowned under his helmet as he could not spot her car again for a moment.He eyes darted around the dusty road frantically and relaxed when
"Okay?"Suddenly, Nina's phone rang. Lisa huffed at the interruption and hissed silently. Nina just ignored her and glanced at her phone. It was Nichola.Seeing the caller ID, Nina didn't hesitate to pick the call. " Nichola?" " Yes." Then Nichola informed her of what had happened at the hospital. Nina pulled her brows together, perplexed and stunned. " Are you serious?! How could that happened? Aren't there securities?!" She couldn't help but ask. " I don't know but I am going to find out now." Nichola responded to her in a bass tone. Nina sighed and nodded. " I will be there now." She told him and the call was hung up. Then, she turned to Lisa. " You should get going. I have to leave now." Lisa stood up immediately. " Why? You haven't answered my question and you expect me to leave? How is that possible?"She scowled and shook her head. " I can't leave unless you give me an answer." Nina glared at Lisa instantly. However, she didn't say anything and just walk
Liliana stared into space. She felt like she had just been dropped in a bucket of ice cold water and then abandoned in a freezer.She was too shocked to move.Scar laughed at her bewildered expression."Guess your hobby didn't tell you that. Too bad. It's too late for you to ask Him about it anyway... you know, considering the fact that you won't see him again", he laughed and raised her to a standing position.She was so weakened by the news that she could not object. She just kept him move her like a luggage."Come on. At least put a smile on this pretty face of yours", Scar jested, pulling her chin up but she pulled her head away from his palms.He mocked her resistance and then proceeded to press a cold lip towards her neck and she shuddered in disgust."Let's get going, princess. We have quite a lot of things to do"*"I suspect someone has been out to get her for a long time now", Catherine said lowly to Nichola outside the ward.Mia had a scowl on her face as she stood in the d
Almost immediately after she lifted her head from her father's chest, she heard a loud beeping sound from the machine that was connected to her father.She frantically looked around, lost for a moment on what to do before running out to get the doctor.The doctor upon examining the situation shook his head."Please tell me what is going on doctor", she said in a rush but he did not give her a reply.She watched him as he hurried out, making a call.Catherine thought she would go crazy. She did not know what to do. She thought of calling Nichola again but thought against it. She did not want to appear insensitive. She cried as she watched her father remain unmoving, yet the machine continued to beep.She cried as she held unto his hands, wishing he would just wake up with a smile on his face. She wished that some miracle would happen.She remained in that position for over thirty minutes, her tears staining her cheeks and the bed.Some minutes later, she suddenly felt a presenc
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
