“What is really happening, son? Where is my daughter?” Mr. Williams asked Lucas with a trace of curiosity.“That’s what I can’t explain. Not even her contact is reachable. Why exactly has this happened to us?” Lucas asked Mr. Williams.“You don’t have to ask me such things. You should understand that you are surrounded by multiple enemies, same with my daughter. She shouldn’t have gone out unprotected. I’m just finished,” Mr. Williams said, with his hands on the desk.“One thing I believe is that Norah won’t be hurt. Whoever has done this will face the consequences,” Lucas assured Mr. Williams.“I am not after the consequences, as you have said. What I need now is my daughter. Lucas, make an urgent trace of where my daughter is,” Mr. Williams said with a worried face.“Don’t worry, Mr. Williams. I know she is your daughter, but as her husband, I feel her disappearance more than you. I am doing my best to get information on where she is,” Lucas added.“Norah can’t act so stupidly. What
"Oh shit.!" Evelyn's exclaimed the moment Anna had left her house. "She is just a witch. How did she get to know that I have had Norah kidnapped.?" She asks herself. "I said it's first that she wasn't never a real human." Evelyn added.Evelyn got ready to meet with the kidnapper. "Norah, I believe you are enjoying your day in the kidnappers den.?" She asked Norah, rotating around and making fun of her."You are such a desperate bitch, and I bet you, you won't go court free." Norah said to her. "Honestly, even when I had you at the palms of my hands, do you know what that means?" It signified that your life is in my hands." Evelyn spoke, smiling as well."You don't have right over me, nitevn for once." Norah challenges her. "I will definitely get out of this place, and by the time I do, I will make sure you suffer for this." "Oh, hold it there. Have you forgotten how stupid you acted on me the very time? You thought I would never hurt you. Or take your man away from you." "Evelyn, y
"I think this is my worst time on earth, losing my woman for an unknowable event. I can't tell what and how it all happened, but what I know currently is that my life is a mess." Lucas complains to Xavier."The investigators team is really working on it. And I strongly believe that they will come up with something else. Bet me." Xavier assured him."You don't know how I want to see my wife; I want her back to me all the time. I miss her, so do my kids." Lucas added."You have to understand that; she will be back." Xavuer said when Lucas stood with anger."Stop saying this. It is not sounding right in my ear. You have your woman with you right at your house; she makes you happy every time you look into her eye and see her hug you. This is going to be a month; I haven't set my eye on my wife; here you are saying this. Do you know how I feel right now? I feel like throwing you out of this office." Lucas reacted.Xavuer stood, and despite the fact he was the one Lucas was shouting at, he
"So Shee brought you here.?" Anna asked Norah, feeling pains as she almost struggled to free herself from the rope. "Quiet and stop reacting like a bitch you are." One of the kidnappers shouted at them.Anna was shocked as she heard a foot match; looking further was someone on black. Who matched more closely to her?"Anna, the sturborn bitch." The voice sounds like Evelyn." Evelyn!" Anna called in Surprise. "You are shocked, I guess?" She asked Anna."I don't expect this from you, but know quite well that you are capable of doing anything." Anna challenges her "Here you are suffering for your sin." She replied. Norah at the other side sat shivering as she almost gave up."I was told you are sick. I will do you the favor of calling a doctor for your help, and this will be done may be after your death. Evelyn said to her, with a bidding look."You can do whatever you want to do. All I know is this: you can't kill me." Norah struggled with her. Evelyn smiles, walking around Norah as
Evelyn, after a long thoughie about where to hide herself, decided to return home. Lucas, on the other hand, went on in search of her. When she saw him from afar, she said. "I know he will come for me; I know she must have told him that I have been the one holding her down. but am not scared. I have to call Xavur to come pick up his son while I prepare to end in jail," she said within herself. She then dialed Xavier's number. Xavier, seeing her call, got surprised. "She called the troublesome," he said to Vera. after pressing the green button and picking up her call. "Hello, Xavier, I would like you to come pick up your son. I can't continue anymore. Do that in a hurry" she hung the phine without him saying a word. This got Xavuer confused that he had to relate that to Vera. "Hurry to have your son. She must have been hot to something." Vera said to him. Xavier quickly pocked his car key from the table as he hurried to Evelyn's house; right there is Lucas standing with her. "I though
Mr. Dickson and Liam are still deliberating on their new plan for Lucas. "We have to trap him to death." Mr. Liam said to Mr. Dickson."How possible will that be?" Dickson asked. "I have once tried that with his secretary, but she ended up exposing me and my wife. In fact, she is the reason I can't be trusted by William anymore." Dickson Answered."Let use Abigail." Mr Liam suggested."Abigail.?" He asked."Yes, Abigail the nurse might not fail us this time. Let go with her." He added."We can't, reason being that Abigail also misbehaved last time." Dickson Answered."Why do you think we do.?" Mr. Liam asked.Dickson shocked his head, losing hope immediately."I have lost hope. There is no means to hurt him back. He is surrounded with those who can easily trace our way about." Mr Liam Dickson lamented."That is obviously to speak of. Nevertheless, I will advise that you, on your own part, go home and think of what to do." Mr. Liam said to him."I am not satisfied with this." Dickson
Renee and Thomas kept their pretense to themselves while in prison. It was then told about their closeness. "What did I hear from the officer? Have you both fallen in love in the prison.?" She was asked by her mother.Renee smiled and replied to her."Mother, that's the only way we can be free from here. His case might seem unbreakable or unattended to; nevertheless, this is the only way we could get out of the place." "That is not the main point here. News has been flying around about Norah's disappearance, which means that she might have been hurt somewhere. Possibly killed as well." Isabella, revealed.Renee got her mouth opened."What happened to her guard? Didn't she go with any.?" Renee asked."You don't think so. Perhaps she decided to stroll the city with her new car; that was where she was captured." Isabella added."That means I have a closer chance to win Lucas love for myself than before. A very close chance as that." Renee said to Isabella."Yes, you have a closer chanc
"I have much to say on this." Lucas lamented to Norah his wife."Darling, just play along. I know how much it could hurt you, yet I believed there was hope to deal with her in return. Please, let's be calm." Norah added. Mr. Williams, sitting beside his daughter, became happier, as he almost thought about what to do."There is a lot to do next time. Let's watch her. Let see how it goes." Mr. Williams sounded. "He was so ready to fight Evelyn.Evelyn is still in search of how to fetch Norah and Anna out. She met with the kidnapper again."How did it go.?" She asked.The kidnapper nodded his head and replied. "They ran away; I don't think they are around. Anna and Norah have escaped the plan." He answered. "What, that is not possible. Lucas was at my house two days ago, requesting for his wife and Anna. How then do you think she is in town?" She is still hiding in the den with Anna." Evelyn said as she almost forced them to speak."We will fight them. We will try all we can to get them
"Finally, we have won at last. I have made my revenge, and thus called for celebration," said Lucas as he looked at Norah and all he had achieved so far.The victory party was a grand affair. The hall was adorned with shimmering lights and vibrant decorations, reflecting the joy and triumph of the occasion. Friends and allies gathered, their faces beaming with pride and happiness. Music filled the air, a lively tune that had everyone tapping their feet and swaying to the rhythm.Lucas stood at the center, receiving congratulations and heartfelt words from those who had supported him. Norah, by his side, couldn't help but smile, her eyes shining with admiration and love. The tables were laden with a feast fit for royalty, with dishes from every corner of the land, each more delicious than the last.As the night progressed, stories of bravery and camaraderie were shared, laughter echoed through the hall, and the bond between the celebrants grew stronger. Lucas raised a toast, his voice f
Roxanne felt a deep sense of dread as she discussed leaving the country with Rebecca. "Our husbands have been held, and our children too," Rebecca said, her voice trembling. "And you want to flee the country?"Roxanne sighed, her eyes filled with tears. "What do you expect from Lucas, whom you and I have treated badly?" she replied. "He has to do something about it."Rebecca shook her head. "Lucas is our only hope now. We need to trust him."Days passed, and the situation grew more dire. The streets were filled with chaos, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the night. Roxanne knew she had to make a decision. One night, under the cover of darkness, she packed her belongings and left a note for Lucas. She couldn't bear to say goodbye in person.As she crossed the border, her heart ached with the weight of leaving her family behind. She knew Lucas would search for her, but she hoped he would understand why she had to go.Lucas, upon finding the note, felt a mix of anger and determin
---Anna stood in the bustling airport, her heart pounding in her chest. She had come to pick up her friend Norah, but fate had other plans. As she scanned the crowd, her eyes locked onto a familiar face. It was him—James, the father of her child, the man who had left her years ago.James looked different, more mature, but there was no mistaking those eyes. He seemed equally stunned, his gaze fixed on Anna. She had changed too. She was no longer the young, uncertain girl he had left behind. She was a confident, beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but admire her.As they walked towards each other, the noise of the airport faded into the background. They stopped a few feet apart, the air thick with unspoken words. James was the first to break the silence."Anna," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "You look amazing.""James," she replied, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of feelings inside her. "It's been a long time."He nodded, his eyes never leaving hers. "Too long. I...
"I don't think it will be necessary if we keep going in this manner. This group of individuals has a high reputation and will do anything in their power to hold you down, Lucas. Meanwhile, the only thing to consider is your sincerity. You can't continue to be hurt daily. I suggest you look for a solution quickly," Xavier spoke to him."Whatever has made them regard me this way must have come from their collective idea and nothing more than that. I think that's where it should be considered necessary as well," Lucas replied."Yes, that's where we should focus more," Xavier agreed.Lucas met with his lawyer, Ms. Jessica, over the case against him. This time, she approached the courtroom with compelling reasons that proved Lucas's innocence. She presented new evidence and testimonies that dismantled the accusations against him. The judge and jury listened intently as Ms. Jessica laid out the facts, showing that Lucas had been wrongfully accused. Her arguments were clear and persuasive, l
"All I see in this is the act of jealousy," Lucas said to Ms. Jessica, his lawyer, as he sat with Xavier, speaking right in front of her. "I think what you need to know is that we are fighting multiple wars, and this could be the last. How they came to team up against you is something I can't really comprehend, but I think there's much more to this as well.""Yes, there is much more to this, as you have said, which is why I need to be careful. I have done that with everything in me. We need to confront one of the business partners," she said to him."Who on earth among them will give me the actual reason for fighting me? Is it the association or the IT head as well? I'm just confused, Ms. Jessica," Lucas breathed out.Ms. Jessica nodded thoughtfully. "We need to approach this strategically. Let's start by meeting with the association head. He might have some answers."Xavier, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "I agree with Jessica. We need to get to the bottom of this.
"Deniel, who must have paid you to hurt me and cause me tears?" Lucas asked, catching the vibe of the situation."No one paid me, Lucas. The truth remains that we had a deal," Deniel replied."What deal is that? When on Earth did I know you? I have no business with you. Why must you go this far to blaspheme me?" Lucas added.Deniel laughed. "Hahahahaha. You think you are the most intelligent businessman. The same man who treated me, Liam, and the Dickson family like a mess. You think you won't have to share what you have done?" he asked Lucas.Lucas stood looking at him, even as the whole world started believing Deniel. Unknown to Deniel, Lucas had a little recorder in his pocket connected to the officer outside. The conversation was ongoing."Now listen to me. You can only be free from this if you release the one under your custody. That's the only way I will release you," Deniel said."Please, I am ready to do everything in my power to release them. I have seen that you are stronger
“I don’t really get it. Lucas involved in fraud. Do you know what that means? The great shock it has caused me as well,” Lucas said to Mr. Williams. “We need to do something fast about it, unless we lose it all. But I still don’t believe you, Lucas,” Mr. Williams replied.“I don’t understand you, Mr. Williams,” Lucas said as Norah walked in.“Lucas, what is going on? I thought you had inherited all that your father made for you. Why are you involved in fraud?” she asked him.“Norah, are you the one saying this to me? The same Norah that promised to fight the challenge with me?” Lucas asked her.“I have made deep research on this. There is no difference from this. It all contains your signature and name, even the date and time. Everything you did illegally,” she paused and began to sob. “I thought you were responsible. That was why I had kids with you. I didn’t know you were a pretender.”“Norah, what has gotten into you? Do you know that it is your husband, Lucas, you are talking to i
"The battle is over," Xavier said to Lucas."Not yet, not until I have seen both Dickson and Mr. Liam end up in prison," Lucas replied. Unknown to Lucas, Roxanne had gone on with the most dangerous fight in him. He was surprised to hear from his lawyer, Ms. Jessica."What am I hearing from you? This should have come to you before now, but there's a lot going on in my head that I'm about to sort out," she said to him."Please, I don't really understand you. Did you call me to your office to tell me how busy you are?" he asked her."Not really, Mr. Lucas. Please, what is this?" she asked him, handing over a file.Lucas looked into the file. "I don't understand," he said."This was brought to my table. I was able to snatch it from the accusers. This is your signature on an illegal business deal with Mr. Francis," she said.Lucas stood up. "I don't understand you. Where and how did I get to know Mr. Francis? I don't know a name like that. I think there is a mistake somewhere," he answered
Bianca still felt love for Mark. "There is a birthday I would like you to attend with me," Mark said to her. "Really?" she asked him. "Yes," he answered with a smile. Bianca accepted the offer. Meanwhile, it was a setup with Xavier to get her down. The plan commenced. Bianca, who had felt uneasy, left the child with his new nanny and went to dine with Mark. As she walked into the birthday event, there was the sound of music playing. She asked, "Are you sure this is the birthday event?" Mark smiled and answered her, "Yes, this is the birthday event, and soon the celebrant will be out to have a handshake with me as well.""How would the celebrant have a handshake with you here outside when there are so many people to attend to?" she asked him. "You don't need to worry," Mark replied. Before Bianca could say another word, she was already surrounded by a group of police officers. "What is going on here?" she asked, raising her head to the other side of her right hand. "What is the meaning
