The ceremony took off immediately. Cage was led to the altar by Grandpa Richland while Chloe was led by her father. All eyes were on them and the media couldn't get enough of the event. There was a lot of live coverage going on outside. They both exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to cherish and support each other through life's trials and triumphs. Everyone applauded as they were done taking the marital vows. After that, they exchanged rings and sealed their commitment to one another. Their happiness was so bright and infectious that everybody in the large church got a taste of it. Another cheer erupted from the crowd as soon as they were pronounced husband and wife. They went on with the rest of the event after that and headed sure to stay close to her, not leaving her for anything whatsoever. As soon as the festivities came to a close, it was time for the newlyweds to depart for their honeymoon. A sleek, luxurious Mercedes-Benz was now waiting for them at the entrance. The press
The impact of the car on the water shattered the glass instantly, and the car began to fill up with water, causing them to sink in even further. Cage didn't hesitate for a moment before he turned to Chloe who was clawing at the air. She couldn't swim, nor could Rochelle. He grabbed her arm and put his strong arm around her waist before he forced the door open and tried to pull her out of the car but that's when he felt something grab his leg. Fear seized him, as he felt they had been attacked by a sea creature. He tried to shake it off, despite carrying Chloe and being so tense but it remained. He turned back sharply to see Rochelle holding onto him tightly, refusing to let go. With a quick, fluid motion, he reached down for her and gave her a quick punch before grabbing her arm. Despite the terrifying darkness that had enveloped them, the only thing that gave him hope where the lights ahead. He could see the lights above the water, and he knew they weren't far from the surface. Bu
Cage continued to watch after Chloe, making sure that she was OK. The sound of the helicopter up above was getting louder as it gently dropped to the ground to rescue them. And that was the moment Rochelle made a break for it. She tried to run and escape the law but Cage was ready to make sure she faced punishment and suffered for all that she had done. He couldn't let her escape, no matter what. With a burst of speed, he lunged forward and grabbed her by the arm. His finger dug into her skin as he held on tight. He tried pulling her back despite the ache in his arms but she was strong. It seemed as if the near-peril experience they had just gone through didn't affect her as much, which was why she seemed so strong. Cage was beginning to regret why he hadn't kicked her away to die inside the sea. He growled as he held her back, locking his legs around hers as well. She continued to struggle against his grip, and her eyes were wild with panic as she saw the helicopter getting closer
Grandpa Richalnd was sitting in his lavish living room in an armchair, sipping on the glass of whiskey he had in his hand as he watched the evening news on the large flat screen television mounted on the wall.The room was beautified with opulent furnishing and expensive artwork, which showed how wealthy and powerful the Richland family was. He had been very glad after he heard the news about what had happened at the bridge and couldn't wait to confirm the rest of the news, he was waiting to hear exactly what he wanted. Could this be the end of it? He wondered, laughing at the thought that he couldn't have been able to finish off Cage all these years, despite hiring the best assassins, yet a woman was going to do that. It surprised him so much, but there was nothing he could actually do about it. He just had to sit back and watch, and smile when the confirmation came. He couldn't wait, and his tingling nerves were a testament to that. As he took another sip of his drink, the breaki
Cage could feel his gut churn as he waited for the detective to say it. He heard the man take a long sigh, as if preparing to drop the most unbelievable news he had ever heard and that made him even more impatient. "Are you not going to say anything?" He asked, hearing the line crack. He could feel his heart pounding yet again, eager to hear the latest development in the ongoing investigation. He was happy, at least, to hear that they had struck some luck. Before now, they hadn't been able to do anything other than hitting and missing. They had been trying to get somewhere but they kept failing. At last, they had some good news. "You won't believe it." The voice of the detective crackled through the line. "But I think the whole thing was being sponsored by your wife's grandfather. He is the one who had been after you indirectly, all this while." Cage's stomach churned with apprehension. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had never imagined ghT his own grandfather would ev
They both waited and after a little while, the doctor returned to the room. He had suggested she stayed till the next morning but Cage already wanted to leave and go back home with her. It was shocking to say the least, that they hadn't gone back to their house since their wedding. The doctor was left with no other option than to acquiesce to their request since letting her leave wouldn't be too bad. Getting home he opened the door for her and lifted her. She giggled happily as she was being carried inside but she wasn't feeling too well and was asked to be put down. "Can you put me down, I felt nauseous." She said to him before he hesitatingly agreed. He had wanted her not to stress herself until she was fully recovered. "Are you sure you can walk right now?" He asked her. She chuckled, surprised by the question. "You sound like I fractured my feet. I'm good!" She said. He smiled and watched her carefully as she began to walk towards thr entrance, and just as she had told him, s
Cage was filled with trepidation as he walked into the building. He was unsure of what to find out about his grandfather's involvement in the evil plot against him. He wondered if the detective really had very concrete evidence against him or if it was just a pointer. If it was the former then that would be very shocking, indeed more shocking than he had felt the first time he was told about it. The officers greeted him as he walked in with a smile on his face, trying to keep out the trepidation he had his heart hammering. He was met by the detective outside. The detective's face lit the moment he saw Cage. "Hey, Cage," the detective greeted him, gesturing for him to follow him. "Thanks for coming in." He nodded, as he felt his heart beat even faster. "I need to know the truth." His voice was trembling with emotion. "Whatever it is, I can handle it." The detective smiled again before he walked Cage into the small interrogation room. He recognised it instantly. It was the same room
When Cage walked into the reliving room that evening, he felt utterly empty because he had no idea if she was going to ask him what they had discussed over there and if he would be forced to tell her everything that had just happened. He also remembered that he had forgotten to ask the detective which other member of the family was involved in the whole scheme. He hoped he would find out soon enough, after Grandpa Richland had been apprehended and taken care of. He still found it very hard to believe the old man would ever have any hand in the problems he was facing. It was just unbelievable, utterly disturbing but there was nothing he could change about it. It had happened, and everyone who took part would surely suffer the consequences of their evil acts. He had already devised a plan on how they would be able to catch the old man and expose him in front of everyone before taking him to the cell to face the law after that. But as much as he was angry that the man was involved, he
