Cage sprinted back to his car as soon as he began to understand what was going on. He drove back home as fast as he could with his thoughts racing madly. He didn't know what to believe or think about. The fact that she had left an hour ago made him so worried and no matter how he tried to push the dangerous possibilities off and tell himself that she was OK, he couldn't. He knew that something was very wrong when he arrived home and rushed inside, calling out her name with a very panic-filled voice. "Chloe! Chloe!, are you here?" The house was eerily silent and he went to check the cameras after that. He found out that nobody had been there the whole time he was away. He had a very bad feeling in his gut at this point as he wondered what could have happened to her and where she might be at this point. Just for good measure, he checked every room, every corner, but there was no sign of her. The panic set in as he realised she was truly missing. He decided to wait, hoping she would wa
"What happened?" He asked, the concern in his voice was as silent as a summer afternoon. Cage took a deep breath and answered. "Chloe has been kidnapped. And they want me to sign all my properties over to the Gedans Family in exchange for her release. I never saw anything of this sort coming but it looks like they have been planning it all along for a long time. I won't be surprised if I find out that they are connected to the problems we have been facing lately, especially with Marcia. They could be the ones who told her to do what she did and now that their plans won't work, they opted immediately to abduct my wife. Those bastards, once I have my hands on them I'm going to make sure they regret whatever they are doing right now." Cage said, growling and punching the table with his clenched fist. A day ago he was happy that he had been able to curtail the situation but right now, everything had just gotten worse and probably gone back to square one. There was a big silence, after
That night was the longest night in his life. While the rest had gone to sleep, he stayed awake, restless and shaken. Even with the thought that she was not hurt at the moment, he couldn't risk the dread that had already engulfed him. Nothing made sense to him him anymore. He just wanted to see her safe and he knew he was going to pull off something extra to get this done. He was back home and no longer at his office now, but the Gedan family was still out here, and they had to be stopped. That was if the abductors weren't just trying to implicate them as the real suspects when they weren't. Cage was so angry and wondered how they had been unable to see that something like this could happen. Well, he didn't blame himself. There were no leads, no suspicious events that had led up to the kidnapping. It just happened out of nowhere, sending him crashing back into the world of hurt and pain and worries that he thought he would gone past now. He had to stop them and that was what he was a
The night was dark and silent and the moon cast an eerie glow over the old warehouse. It was the perfect time to attack and that was why they had chosen this time to do it. The two couldn't wait to finish what was started not long before now. Chloe sat on a cold, hard chair. Her hands were tied and her heart was pounding furiously in her chest. She hadn't hadn't gotten a blink of sleep since she was apprehended because of how scared she was. She had never been more scared than she was at the moment. Be thoughts were filled with worry for her un or child and for Cage. She knew he would come for her, but she had no idea how or when. She only wanted to hope and kept looking out that he would come for her one day. She knew he would but normally he should have already come for her, but he hadn't yet. And that worried her so much. That was the moment the sound of gunfire suddenly erupted outside the warehouse. Her heart skipped a beat as her fear intensified immediately. She didn't know w
Cage stood outside his house, pacing back and forth like a caged beast. He had been very worried, ever since he got the call from the agents some minutes before now. He trusted their abilities, but hearing that Chloe had been rescued was everything he could ask for. He couldn't wait to see her come back to him again. As soon as this was done, the Gedan Family would be shooting themselves in the foot. They had made a very big mistake the moment they decided to take her away from him so they could manipulate him into giving her up. He was going to make sure they suffered and got what they deserved. There was no mercy here. The silence was heavy where he stood and it was only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. He couldn't shake the images of Chloe's terrified face haunting his mind. He continued to stand there, patiently waiting. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of an approaching car. It pulled him from his thoughts as he walked to the direction. A black S
It was a hot sunny afternoon, and Cage was the happiest man alive. His eyes glowed as he stared at the box in his hands.It was his mother's gift to his lovely wife.His mother had taken him from the orphanage, and he loved herShe had given him the gift before she passed on. "I hope Carmen will love this. I wish she would leave school and come home with me. I miss her." Cage said to himself, letting out a heavy sigh.He had met Carmen three years ago, and he loved her a lot. "It's a good thing the boss wasn't around today so I could leave work early." Cage muttered.He would work day and night to ensure that he could continuously provide for Carmen's rent and her school expenses.It was evening when Cage arrived at the apartment.He knocked on the door, waiting for his wife to open the door."Carmen? Are you home?" He called out.His eyes moved down. The door wasn't locked. "Why didn't she lock the door?" He murmured. He walked in.The sight of clothes scattered in the living room
"Are you sure you want to do this, Young Master?" Zo asked with a glance at Cage, who lay on his bed."Yes, Zo. I need to put them in their place." Cage stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.Zo bowed and left the room. He had to prepare for his Young Master's announced arrival tomorrow. Cage came out of the bathroom. Tomorrow, he will make his arrival known in the company.The following day arrived too quickly, but Cage had work to do.Zo came to pick him up from the hotel room.He escorted Cage to his car."Don't worry, Zo, I'll take the public bus. I want to check a few things out," Cage uttered with a small smile."Okay, sir," Zo said, climbing into the car.Cage thought as he took a taxi to the Marines and Shares company.It was a vast company with a magnificent front design and a large garden.Cage smoothened his roughened shirt. He had gotten used to dressing in such a way, and he had forgotten to ask Zo to get a tailored dress for him."Who are you, please?" A la
Cage looked at Chloe, waiting for her to speak."I… I'd get them right away." Chloe couldn't believe Cage's request, but she trusted him."This will blow up in your face." The doctor glared at Cage, but the man turned his face away.Cage wouldn't be doing this, but he couldn't bear to see Chloe suffer.In two minutes, Chloe appeared with all the ingredients and handed them over to Cage, along with a bowl. Cage mixed the hot charcoal and honey. He dipped the garlic into the mixture and allowed it to cool down for a few seconds."This is just trash." The doctor said in morbid disgust."Shut up, Doctor Matthias. I don't need your voice ruining the preparation." Chloe snarled in annoyance. Cage ignored the banters and applied the mix to the grandfather's body."I'll be back, Chloe. I want to get something. Please watch your grandpa after the fifth minute when he wakes up. The first thing you must do is feed him with this mixture."Cage uttered and stood up to go."Wait, Cage. Would he w
