They all smiled upon hearing what Pearl's father just said.“Who wouldn't be happy when his daughter just introduced his rich boyfriend to them, and everyone was focused on him and his friend when they entered the hall?Without being told they know they're not ordinary men?”said one of the ladies, while the other added.“The gifts and the manner in which he presented himself says a lot; they dealt with Elvis as if his family were nobody, not to measure their jobs; they are definitely from a top second-class family or even first-class family, which is why I don't know any of them.”Both of them started praying. Their daughter opened their eyes to see what a fellow young lady just did. She is getting married to a man of her dreams, capable husband material, not a poor bastard who pretends to love their daughter just to marry into the family and later run away with their money.Benjamin walked closer to Marcus. He knows it's because of him he made it this far, but he's worried he doesn
Elvis' father couldn't believe he was in this condition. He looks like someone who had an accident. The doctor said he was lucky not to have broken his spinal cord.By the look of things, he does not have any bruises on his body. Someone did this to him, and he wants to know.“Elvis, who did this to you?”Elvis managed to use his hands to wipe his face.“Pearl's parents, they have been lying to us, they never told us she has a boyfriend. You know, today was supposed to be my engagement party, but I was surprised when she introduced her boyfriend to her parents, and they accepted him with open hands and evil threats to keep me out. When I tried to confront them, the useless boyfriend of his friends pounds on me with the help of the manager of MZK, they threatened me and said I should inform every member of my family not to step their feet inside MZK again. That is the last thing I can remember.”Elvis couldn't stop his tears.“Father, you need to see how I was humiliated and treated as
Samuel at that moment couldn't say anything but nod at what his father just said: he's definitely going to succeed; he's sure of it, this kind of plan can't fail, soon Hazel will be his; however, he was curious, wanting to know if his father also has a plan for that useless husband of hers.With a low voice, he utters.“Father, what about that useless husband hers? What are we going to do with him now?”Gregory responded.“Don't worry about it; according to the information I gathered, he's the one who goes pick her daughter off from school, so my guys are already waiting for her as we speak. When they close from school, they will go get her even before the bastard arrives, and then they will call him and send the bastard to a different location. He needs to die for Hazel to look our way.That is what they are going to do?”Samuel's body vibrated a little when he heard they were going to kill Marcus, but he shook it off immediately. If the bastard has to die for him to succeed, he's fi
Marcus's lips started shaking. The principal must be lying. How can Ivy be kidnapped?His voice was shaking as he spoke.“Tell me you're kidding; it's not true, right?”The principal bowed her head, and she knows how Marcus feels at that moment.“Yes, it's true your daughter has been kidnapped.”Marcus's legs failed him immediately, and the principal words shattered his heart.He went on his knees and words refused to come out.Who could have done this to Ivy when she doesn't go looking for trouble? If anyone has issues with him, they should come for him, but not his little daughter, not her.Cold tears dropped down Marcus's cheeks.His head was full of thoughts. He didn't know what to do at that moment. How was he going to explain it to Hazel? If he had come early, none of this would have happened.Ivy will be so scared, and it's because of him, he failed her again.At that moment, his phone rings, and he immediately brings it out to see who is calling, but the number has no name.Re
The bright sunlight of the peaceful day, confusion, and curiosity swirled within the minds of those who stood witness to the scene unfolding before them.They had never seen police vehicles this many before, and to their surprise, the special team vehicle so many of them were also seen. Summerville has been so peaceful that they hardly see more than two police cars at a time.The chorus of unanswered questions played like a constant drumbeat as eyes followed the police cars and the flying helicopter moving with purpose through the streets.The outsiders, caught off guard by the sudden intrusion into their mundane lives, furrowed their brows and exchanged baffled glances. Some speculated about a movie being filmed.Others, more intuitive, sensed an underlying urgency in the air, detecting a real-life drama unfolding right before their eyes.One of them said, “Is this a terrorist attack or a hostage situation? From what I'm seeing, it's definitely one of them. After so many years in S
Marcus' heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard what the man just said: he wants him to leave the car he had come with and drive to another location.He started panicking at that moment. Couldn't it be they knew someone came with him? If that were the case, he wouldn't have asked him to drive the car to another location. It seems they want to destroy any trace of him just in case someone is following him. These people are not ordinary; they are professionals. He can't disobey, knowing Hazel and Ivy are with them.However, he decided to waste some time to see if Zachary was around.“I'm sorry for asking before I get inside this car. I want to know if my family is alright. I would like to see them first. Let me hear their voice.”Even though Marcus wanted to waste time, that is what was on his mind. He wanted to know how Ivy was feeling; he knows she must be scared to the bone. And it seems they are not after them, but him. If they want him to enter the car, he needs to see
Hazel tried to get herself free, but she couldn't. She was helpless.Hazel continued begging.“If I have done anything wrong, please punish me alone; don't involve my daughter; let her go, please.”Hazel's heart was heavy at that moment, she never imagined something like this would happen to them.Kane will see Hazel is broken already. It's the perfect opportunity to strike. She is now vulnerable, which is what he wants.With a calm voice, he utters.“Your daughter is fine for now, but I can't promise you that later.”Hazel's ears wide open when she hears ivy is find. For now, she wants her release, she said.“Please, I want her released. Please let her go. She is just a child. She knows nothing I can–.”Kane interrupted Hazel.“ Hazel, I want you to be peaceful and calm so you and your daughter can go home peacefully without anyone getting hurt. The ball is in your court, and you will be determining if your daughter leaves here or both of you leave.Hazel was curious. He keeps sayin
Samuel smiled brightly as Kane untied the rope he used to tie down Hazel.Kane uses his hand to hold Hazel by the shoulder and utters.“I'm removing this rope off your hands and legs so you won't feel any pain; however, if you try to play smart and remove the head bag covering your face and resist, I will cut off ivy finger. Just put that in the back of your mind.”Hazel's entire body vibrated in fear as her tears increased; she couldn't help but nod.“I have heard you.”Kane nods“Now stand up and walk to your left.”Hazel's legs vibrated immediately as she couldn't do anything but obey. Ivy can't get hurt.She slowly walked to her left, but when her leg came into contact with the bed frame, she had her stop.Kane nodded.“Hazel, you know what to do from here. Do you want him to undress you or do it yourself?”words refused to come out of Hazel's mouth if this was a dream, she wants to wake up from it, all this is too much for her to handle; it's just too much. How is she going to lo
