How evil. Using the innocent girl for his nefarious plans
Raegan nearly fainted when she discovered that her son had been taken from school. She called Cade in tears and he immediately left work. Cade used all his connections to make the police issue a city wide search for Noah. But before they could set up roadblocks, Grey had already crossed to another city and went into hiding with Noah and his men. The search continued as the days passed by, Cade extended the search into other cities. Every lead they chased led to disappointment because they were only fragments of their speculations. Flyers with their child's innocent face covered the walls around the city, but the elusive truth remained hidden from Case and Raegan. They were at the police station almost every hour with no news and what made it even worse was the fact that no one had called to demand ransom for Noah yet so they didn’t even know if he was alive. Their journey took them through the darkest corners of despair. Sleepless nights were spent scanning missing persons databases
The aftermath of the car accident had left Cade battered, bruised and unconscious. He looked peaceful even with the bruises that were plastered on his body, as he slept in oblivion. Day after day, Raegan sat beside him, hoping and praying that he would wake up again.As two weeks passed, Cade gradually emerged from the cocoon of unconsciousness, opening his eyes and taking note of a presence beside him — Raegan. Soon enough, he was fully conscious and widely awake. His bruises however, still needed more time to heal. On the day that Cade was to be discharged, the attending physician, a bearer of news both heavy and irrevocable, entered the room where Cade and Raegan were. "How are you doing, Mr Milton?" The doctor smiled at Cade. "Getting better," Cade smiled back at him. "That, I can see. And you, Mrs Milton?" "My husband is alive so I am well, doc," Raegan nodded at the doctor. The doctor, Mr Wills, was a tall, lanky man. He had a smile plastered to his face, that only made way
Meanwhile Grey had gone into hiding with Noah and his men after the police began their search. They were hidden in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. They moved only at night, hidden inside cargo boxes mixed with the supplies in a delivery truck heading to Mexico which was why the police hadn’t found them yet. It took them several weeks to be able to get safe passage to cross the border illegally. Each of them were put into separate boxes, even Noah, though Noah was sedated so he wouldn’t scream for help. But the delivery truck had a fatal accident after crossing the border. Only a few of the boxes survived the collision. Grey and his men were among the boxes that went up in flames. Noah’s box was among those that fell out of the truck because he had been kept close to the top so he had survived. The company sent another delivery truck to gather up the remaining boxes that could be salvaged and transported to the warehouse in Mexico, but because the original driver was d
Once more the couple embarked on the journey of parenthood, but this time, with more care and fear. They were so careful because they could not afford to lose this child this time around. Cade made sure to increase the security of the whole family, because he did not want to take any chances. Cade increased his bodyguards because he too was obligated to take care of the child. He also hired a new, and more efficient security staff who had military training. He reinstalled all CCTV cameras and increased their number, by even installing them in the most unlikely of places. Cade did not stop there, he connected the cameras to his room, so that he and Raegan could see what was happening inside and outside of their compound. He would not want to hear that his child was kidnapped or taken again. As for Raegan, he never let her out of his sight. The first few years of the child's life was indeed rigid with security. Soon, it was time for William to be enrolled in school. Cade and Raegan had
The green fields of the multi crop farm were made beautiful by the rays of sun that cast their golden hues on the tips of the leaves. As the wind blew and the leaves that received light from the sun danced, a handsome young man raised his head up from his work to look at the beauty around him. The outline of his face was sharp and gave a firm edge to his looks. His body, quite muscular for a person who did not work out, glistened under the sun. These muscles weren’t built in a gym but by hard labour on the fields. His skin was tanned due to long hours working under the sun. His mother was too old to join him with the rigorous farm activities so she waited for him at home. He looked towards the oak tree where his father had been buried two years ago and sighed. Days like these, he missed working alongside his late father."Mi vida," Rosa Gonzalez, Carlson's mother, called for him from the house. “Come and eat. You’ve been working for hours. “Just a few minutes, Ma. I have to take my t
Morris saw this as his way of returning the favour that Carlson had once shown him in school. Even though now, Carlson may have forgotten what he did for Morris, Morris could still remember Carlson teaching him a maths problem in class one day. That maths problem was so important to Morris because his grades were dependent on that problem which he had always failed in his exams. So, Carlson teaching him that problem was basically Carlson saving his entire grades and even though it was years ago, Morris decided to use this opportunity to show his gratitude for Carlson's good deed at that time. Soon after, Morris left, and Carlson also returned home. His mother noticed that he wasn’t in a great mood but she waited until he had eaten and taken a shower that evening before trying to talk to him. She knew her son so well that she could guess there was something wrong just from his facial expression and also knew that pestering him about it wasn’t the best way to get answers from him.“Wil
The day for the scholarship examination that Carlson and his friends had registered for was coming close. Carlson, though very intelligent, began to prepare. He had to stop farm work, just so that he could have maximum time to study for the forthcoming examination. Morris focused on chemistry and Carlson studied more of economics and finance related topics, while Robin pored over law related subjects. After they were done for each day, Rosa would have their meals waiting for them, even though they protested by saying they were not children anymore and tried to get her to rest. She even insisted they each take a glass of milk daily."It helps the brain," she would say, and the boys, wanting to please her, would gulp it all down. The boy's continued in their reading and studying for days until it was time for the examination. On the day of the examination, Carlson and his two friends made their way to the examination centre approved by the Milton College examination board. The location
“So I’ve got good news and bad news, which do you both want to hear first?” Morris asked the two of them.“Definitely good news first, then the bad news after that so it won’t seem so terrible.” Robin said.“Well then, the good news is that we all got scholarships.”Carlson just smiled but Robin was already jumping and celebrating.“But wait! How can there be bad news? Getting the scholarship is all that matteres right?” Robin paused suddenly and asked with a wary expression.It was Carlson that got the nuance on Morris’ statement.“He said we all got scholarships, not that we all got ‘THE SCHOLARSHIP. You didn’t listen properly.” Carlson said.“I still don’t get what that means.” Robin said with a frown and Morris laughed.“It means we all got scholarships but not all of us got the MILTON COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP. This is why Carlson is the brain of this group and why he’s the only one who got into Milton.” Morris said and Carlson’s eyes widened.“I got in to Milton College?”Carlson asked
