“Do you still have feelings for her?” Evelyn asked Xavier, noticing how he played with Dominic, his little boy.“Did you see me talking to her? I was just playing with my son,” he replied.“Listen, Evelyn, he is still the love of my life. Even though he has chosen to be with you, I still have ways to get him back,” Vera said.Vera followed Xavier, her anger boiling over. She tried to pull Dominic from Xavier’s arms, but Dominic clung tightly to his father, refusing to let go. “I want to stay with Daddy,” he insisted.Frustrated and defeated, Vera stormed off. Later that day, she met with her lawyer, Mr. Thompson, in his office.“Mr. Thompson, I need your help,” Vera said, her voice trembling with desperation. “Is there anything I can do to stop Xavier from seeing Dominic? As it stands, Dominic is already living with him.”Mr. Thompson leaned back in his chair, considering her request. “Vera, this is a delicate situation. The courts generally favor arrangements that are in the best int
Vera thought that the guys had him their way. She turned to her son and said, “Dominic, we need to leave here right now.” Dominic smiled at Vera, unaware of what was going on. They reached a junction, and Vera stood to hail a taxi. Unbeknownst to her, the approaching taxi was driven by one of the kidnappers. She told him her destination.“The destination you took is not mine. Please take me to my destination,” she added. The driver looked at her and smiled. “A beautiful lady like you should know that before you get out of this car, you have to see my boss first,” he said.Vera was shocked. “I don’t get you. Am I in the wrong vehicle?” she asked him.“No, my dear, but I think you are in one,” he answered. That was when Vera realized she was really in the wrong place.The taxi drove to a secluded area and stopped in front of an old warehouse. Vera was taken inside and brought before the kidnapper’s leader. He looked at her with admiration. “What a beautiful lady. I’ve always wanted some
Mr. Dickson ran into his house, breathless. “Honey, what is it? Why are you acting like this?” his wife asked, concerned.“She has evidence against our son,” he replied, his voice trembling.“I don’t understand. Can you please explain?” she asked, her worry deepening.Mr. Dickson recounted everything he had discussed with Mrs. Jessica. “So, Thomas did this. How can we be free from the consequences?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper.Mr. Dickson sighed. “I spoke to Mr. Desmond, hoping he could convince Mrs. Jessica not to reveal the evidence, but she insisted on making it known to everyone. She wasn’t in a hurry; she wanted to gather more information first.”Mrs. Jessica was confused and anxious. She couldn’t understand who had taken her phone. As she stood in court, the judge called her to present her evidence.“Mrs. Jessica, please present your evidence,” the judge demanded.She fumbled through her bag, her hands shaking. “I… I had it. It was right here,” she stammered.The judg
“It is high time you tell us where you have hidden Lucas,” Mrs. Jessica demanded, her voice firm and unyielding. Thomas chuckled, a sinister smile playing on his lips. “I can’t do that,” he replied defiantly. “Mr. Man, we have the information at hand,” she retorted, her eyes narrowing.The security team, having secured Thomas’s phone, quickly extracted the kidnapper’s contact number. They immediately began the process of triangulating the signal, using advanced tracking technology to pinpoint the location of the kidnappers. The tension in the room was palpable as the team worked swiftly, their fingers flying over keyboards, eyes glued to screens displaying maps and coordinates.Minutes felt like hours, but finally, a location was identified. The security team mobilized, moving with precision and urgency. They arrived at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, the signal’s source. The team split into groups, surrounding the building to ensure no escape routes were left ung
“I am finally back,” Lucas said to Renee the day she met him in his office.“Didn’t you hear how I supported your rescue? It was my call to Norah that helped out,” she added.“Oh!” he exclaimed. “Thank you for your help.”Renee drew closer to him. “I want my payment,” she said. “Pay me.”Lucas laughed. “You should have told me you needed financial help instead of beating around the bush.”She moved even closer. “Lucas, I still love you,” she said.Lucas looked at her, his expression softening. “Renee, I appreciate everything you’ve done. Your support means a lot to me.” He paused, taking a deep breath. “But I need to be honest with you. I’m deeply in love with Norah. She’s the one who has my heart.”Renee’s eyes filled with a mix of emotions, but she nodded slowly. “I understand, Lucas. I just needed to hear it from you.”Lucas reached out and gently squeezed her hand. “Thank you for understanding, Renee. You’ll always be important to me.”Renee gave him a small, sad smile. “I hope yo

“My experience in the kidnappers’ den was hell, but your image in my heart kept me strong. Darling, I love you with all my heart,” Lucas said to Norah, his hands gently resting on her stomach. “I know this will be a baby girl,” he added with a smile.“Whatever gender it is, it’s okay by me,” Norah replied, her eyes filled with love.Three months later, Xavier returned home to find Evelyn waiting for him. “I should pretend I don’t know where you’ve been spending so much time,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.“It was just a business meeting,” Xavier replied, trying to sound convincing.Evelyn’s eyes narrowed. “A business meeting that took you three days? Do you think I’m a fool, Xavier?”Xavier sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Evelyn, it’s complicated. I can’t explain everything right now, but you have to trust me.”“Trust you?” Evelyn scoffed. “How can I trust you when you’re always hiding things from me?”Before Xavier could respond, his phone buzzed. He glanced at
