RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE A SAD HOMECOMING
Her grandfather's eyes softened with regret as he thought about it again. The memories stung him, remembering every single action he had taken. He couldn't just help it. "I know, my dear," he said. His voice was barely above a whisper as he replied. "but sometimes we must face the consequences because of our actions, no matter how painful they may be. I have anticipated this for a long time. I knew it when I figured out they didn't..." He stopped himself, nearly saying that he figured it out when they didn't kill Cage. She cocked her head to the side to look at his crestfallen face but he tried to hide it and shook his head as another sting of regret hit him. "Forget it Chloe. It's nothing you should hear." "What? Is there something you want to tell me?" She asked, clearly worried and equally curious. "No, just don't ask me. I would appreciate it if you didn't ask." He said to her, gritting his his in pain. She looked perplexed as she tried to figure out what he must have wanted t
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE REAL?
Cage's eyes flew open when he heard a groan right beside him, startlingly close. He jumped out of sleep immediately and looked beside him to see Chloe holding wincing in pain as her hands flew to her abdomen. His mind raced with a million questions as to what was going on at that moment. He thought about when she was expecting. It was still two months early. He prayed that this wasn't it before he wiped the bead of sweat that had already gathered in his forehead and attended to her immediately. "Are you okay?" He asked her, as the concern got into his features. Chloe shook her head as the grimace of pain crossed her face when her stomach hit her with another pain. She hissed again before turning over to her side. "I don't know, I'm having some abdominal pain." She said, her eyes tightened close. She couldn't open them. His heart leaped out of his throat and without another word, he immediately took care of the situation, fearing for the worst. He prayed that this shouldn't be bad.
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SECRET RENDEZVOUS
As soon as Cage walked out of the hospital that morning, he went straight to a Café to unwind. He felt so tired, and he knew he needed a bolster of energy if he was going to survive the day. He had to be active and alert, especially now that Chloe needed his care and attention so much. He couldn't just wait for the remaining two months to be over and done with. He ordered his coffee and sat at an empty seat where he could see what was going on inside. The Cafe was nearly empty, safe for two couples who were talking to themselves in the distance. That was the moment he had to think about it again, to think about what he had suspected earlier if they both were really sick or if this was some kind of ploy to get him to give up on the conviction of her grandfather. He had no idea but he suspected that something was at play here. It couldn't just be a coincidence, he knew there was something to it. The waiter brought his Café and handed it to him with a smile. He paid for it immediately
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SECRET NEGOTIATIONS
He felt his anger explode as he read it. He was stung by regret as he blamed himself for not tackling those boys. The whole thing was a setup! Perhaps he should have apprehended them with the help of the security officer but it was too late now. "Shit!" He hissed, clenching his fist ramming it at the wall in anger. But it seemed to have sounded so loud because when he turned, he saw Chloe stirring. He regretted his action immediately and walked back quietly and stood beside her, making sure that she went back to sleep peacefully. He heavily regretted what he had done both now and then. He regretted that he hadn't done anything to the boys and regretted he nearly woke her up from sleep. He took up his phone as soon as she went back to sleep and stared at the damning photo. His mind was racing with pure anger and frustration. But he chose to calm himself in the end, he took a deep breath and forced himself to push aside the unwanted intrusion so he could focus on Chloe instead. He had
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE DARK ROOM
Everyone in the darkened room could feel the weight of the mission that they were tasked with. For the past few days they had spent a lot of time meticulously planning to get things done once and for all. The only illumination in the room was coming from a single dimly lit lamp that was placed at a corner of the room, so that any detectors would be noticed but so far they hadn't seen any and their boss reasoned that this was the best time to start the meeting and be done with it. There were three figures huddled around the table, and the grim, Grace looks on their faces mirrored the situation of the room. They were in for business, and there was no form of light-hearted feeling in the air. They were in for business and nothing was going to stop them. They were about to risk their lives for what they believed in, for what they had been waiting for for many decades now. They weren't wrong. Their claim for revenge was just, and this was the time to get it done. Nobody gave them a prob
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE MISSION 1
The night was dark, and so was the intent of the men who were now creeping stealthily towards the person gates. They had successfully evaded the police checkpoint and this was their last chance to get this done. There was no turning back now. It was a do or die affair. Their movements were very well calculated as they continued to move, while making sure they turned around to see if they were being followed or if anybody had detected who they were and what they were here for. They had to be very careful, almost silent, if there was any chance they would pull this off. The last thing they wanted was to be seen because there were a lot of them. The job required a lot of people because there were a lot of officers to take down. And they weren't just any people. They were the best, they were handpicked and were handsomely compensated for the operation. Clad in the dark clothing and mask, they gradually started to approach the station gate. It was a large compound, so there were many othe
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE STRONG WOMAN
"Hey, have you thought about what we should name our baby?" He asked, running his hand across her belly. He was very happy that her cheerful mood hadn't just stopped the day before. She had carried into the new day and the light was slowly coming back to her face. She seemed so happy now and that was the exact thing he wanted. Aside from the fact that she was being taken care of at the moment, he knew damn well that her positive attitude and mood would also help to make her recover faster from her ailment. She chuckled when he said it. She had actually thought about it some time in the past but it was only a fleeting thought. Those were the times when they had a lot to face and therefore had a lot of things to think about. "Oh, I've been thinking about it." She said with another smile. "But I'm not sure yet. What about you?" He cocked his brow to the side and shook his head as he thought about it. "Hmmm, I haven't decided either. But I was thinking maybe something meaningful , you
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE BANISHED
When Zo's name flashed on his phone screen, Cage took a deep breath before answering the call. He had no idea why Zo would be calling him at a time like this but he suspected immediately that the man wanted to commiserate with him on the loss of Grandpa Richland which he barely thought about now. His mind had been on Chloe since she decided to leave. The past few days had been very hard for him and he was doing his best not to think about her because the thought of her made everything in him weep. He couldn't couldn't help it. "Hey, Zo," he greeted, sounding so sad. The man noticed it right away but didn't ask any questions about it. His job was simple and that was what he was here to do. "Hey, I heard about the death of Mr. Richland. I'm really sorry, man." He said, sounding so sad. Cage was happy that the man had neglected the formal greetings and behaviour now. This wasn't the time for any of that. He was deeply wounded, not by the death but by what she had done. In fact, he h

PLAYING FOR KEEPS
Trevor couldn't believe that this was happening. He'd gotten off the call with hopes that Cage wouldn't do anything, but when he had gotten off the phone with Cage, he couldn't believe it. It was still very hard to assimilate the words he had heard. They were devastating, utterly devastating. The threat and the calmness in his voice, he was still finding it very hard to believe a single word of it. "It's a fucking bluff," he said under his breath as he kept pacing the entire room. There was a lot more to this. "There is no way he's going to be able to freeze my accounts. That's not going to happen without a court order." So far he had been able to stay under the radar because of the palms he had to grease. It had saved him a lot and hearing what was about to happen meant a lot of things. It meant there was no way he could report to the authorities because they would find out what he had been doing and there wouldn't be a way to cover up the skeleton he'd been hiding in his cupboard

NOTHING CAN STOP ME!
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

YOU'RE WELCOME
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

BEFORE THE DAY ENDS
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

FOOLPROOF
"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

A VERY BIG ONE
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

A CHILL OF DREAD
Cage felt so relieved and carefree as he drove down the familiar route to Chloe's family home. He was very happy because the problem had been solved at least and he just had to find out the main person behind the fake rumours. That wasn't a pain in the ass since whoever it was would be kept at bay as soon as he knew that he was wanted and a lot of people were looking for him. He had made a mental note earlier to call Dave to know if he'd found anything about the voice of the man who had spoken with Marcia over the phone. He was snapped out of his thoughts when someone honked at me from behind. He matched the accelerator and the car began to race down the tarmac. The later afternoon sun had already cast shadows on the earth but he barely noticed. He couldn't wait to get to the house and finally meet her. He was worried about what their conversation was going to sound like. He wondered if it would be awkward or emotional, considering what had happened between them before now. He remin

TRACK A VOICE
Cage didn't still safe despite the measures that had already been taken to bring down the allegations. He knew that something was still out there, searching and waiting for him to slip so they could strike. And he knew that he had to make sure that he didn't. The next day, he decided to call his lawyer again. He had decided that there was no need to rest anymore until he had gotten the whole problem sorted out. He felt uneasy when he picked up the phone and called his lawyer, Mark. The feeling was there with him, and it refused to leave him no matter how much he tried to. "Mark, I need to talk to you." He said, sounding tense even though he was trying everything possible not to sound that way. Yes, they had taken care of Marcia and her lies but that wasn't just working for him. It wasn't enough motivation because what faced them was bigger than Marcia, and even more deadly. He still remembered the attack of the assassins who had been sent to end his life. The thought made his gut

BREAKING NEWS!!
Two days later, Cage was in his house, particularly sitting at his desk in his study. The last few days had been a whirlwind of confusion and anxiety. The cops were still outside the estate where he was leaving, so he hadn't been able to leave the house since then, until he had been proven to be innocent. It was a very tiresome time for him and he couldn't wait to be done with it. That was the moment that his phone suddenly rang. He thought it was from his assistant or Mark but when he peered into the phone it was a strange number. It was strange because he didn't know who it was and because the caller ID was only composed of very short numbers that nobody in the state used. It almost looked foreign, and he prayed that it was the government house so he could be done with this. But on a second thought, he wondered what it would be if it wasn't really the government house but instead the perpetrator. His heart pounded as he picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Cage. " He said, doing e
