RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SCANDAL!!
His phone beeped with a notification from Daryl who thanked him and asked if he had time so they could see anytime soon. He didn't reply to the message, not because he didn't want to or because he didn't want any sort of meeting with Daryl, but because it soon skipped his mind. Nothing seemed to make sense to him any longer. He felt like an empty, hollow shell of a man.The lonely feeling continued to engulf him over the days. He couldn't shake off the weight of her absence no matter how much he tried. Her presence seemed to haunt his thoughts like a relentless ghost. Yes, he had told him that he would stop thinking about her but it was harder than he thought. Every corner of his mind seemed to echo memories of her and every single one was a painful reminder of what they had lost. He hoped that somehow they would have the chance to make things better but that didn't look like it was going to happen. He still wondered if she was still going to send over the papers. He couldn't even im
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE "FBI, OPEN UP!!"
"I never expected something like this would ever happen." His secretary added, still shocked. "It's been long she actually said anything of this magnitude and last time it was against another company we had problems with. Zo was still representing you back then." "And." "And of course, we won. She came up with a lot of facts. She's very intelligent. I just hope she's sorely mistaken even though it doesn't look like it. We just need to figure out where this is coming from and tackle it as soon as possible. Just do your thing and get a lawyer very soon." She added before she walked to the seat and sat across from him, running her hand over her head. She was already feeling tired from the kind of work she'd been doing. She wanted to desperately get home now and have some rest. But it didn't look like it was going to happen anytime soon, at least until they were done sorting it all out. Cage was still seething. "You were there when we bought the company fair and square! This is all fa
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SURPRISES
Cage was already far from his house when he got the shocking news. His heart was pounding as he stared at the news article, after pulling over into an unfamiliar neighbourhood to know why his phone kept ringing persistently with another news. He was shocked by how things were going right now. And if unchecked, it could get worse very soon. The headline blared. "FBI Raids Cage's Home; Suspect on the run!" His stomach chucked. It looked like he was running from the law when he actually wasn't. It was just the perfect description of the universe being against you, he thought. Everything was moving against him now and he was happy that the cops hadn't been alerted because they would have surely had him apprehended and arrested. All he had to do not was to get to his lawyer's office and do what needed to be done. He knew ghat explaining himself would be futile now and there was no need doing so. He needed to act quickly and decisively else his life would be fucked. He dialled his lawyer'
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SO CAUGHT UP
He met with his lawyer the next morning and he was still angry. His fury kept rising because they had already released another fake news about him, something he wasn't going to take lightly. It was getting too much at this point and he wondered how long it would be before they finally tried to make up even worse lies. He knew that it was because the person behind this had surely gained the upper hand. That was why they were saying anything they wanted just to get the views, the supporters and garner more trust from the people. It was very devious, but there was nothing he could do about it now. The latest headline read. "Witness Claims Cage tried to Bribe her to Retract Statement." He slammed the laptop shut and ran his hand through his hair in another bolt of anger. When would all this end? He thought, still confused about what the future held for him. As a matter of fact, it could go very wrong and nobody would care. They would all be there to cheer and support the woman. His law
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE SURROUNDED BUT ALONE
That evening, he returned home and made his way to the living room. The events of the past few days were still taking a toll on him and he couldn't for the whole thing to end. He had just finished talking with Mark about their next move. Plopping down on the couch, he rubbed his temples while trying to ease the headache that was slowly starting to throb in his skull. He shut his eyes for some time, until he heard something. He opened them immediately and wondered where the sound had come from. It sounded like something had fallen but it was closer to a thud than a loud crash. He was the only person in the house and that made him very confused. He didn't expect that anybody would try to attack him, so he pushed off the thought. But the foreboding returned and he decided to check it out. He turned off the television and slowly made his way to the window. Once he got there, he slowly opened the blinds and peered into the distance. The room was very very now and it was only the soft hum
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE A CONFESSION
My hands gripped the edge of the table as I looked at Marcia who sat across from me. Her eyes were wide with fear, darting around the room like a trapped animal. I was so angry at her because she had no idea how close she was to being dragged to court if she didn't start talking and confessing about what she had done. She thought it was going to be easy for her to deal with my reputation and just get away with it like nothing happened."We've got all your calls and recordings, Marcia," I said as Mark and Dave settled on the seats beside me. I didn't want to scare her more than necessary, but she needed to understand the gravity of the situation. "You need to tell us who you were talking to, or you'll be facing serious charges." I said, trying to sound normal even though I was more than angry with her deep down. Given another choice, I would have hit her until she bled. She shook her head as the tears spilled down her cheeks. "You're assaulting me!" She cried. I chuckled when I saw h
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE EVERYTHING IS GONE!
The fact that she was still fidgety despite my attempts to calm her down was a very clear message that she was still very worried and didn't trust us to say what she had to say. But at the same time, her proposition was a very tough one. In one way or the other, she was still going to be dragged into this case no matter what. She had to pay for what she did, but since that was what she wanted before she could give me the answer, then I would do my best to help get her name out of the case as soon as I'd found the mastermind behind this whole scheme. I nodded before replying."No problem, Marcia. Just give us a name and we will be good to go. All you have to do is to tell us who made you do this and we will take care of the rest from here. I'm sure you don't want to suffer for nothing. Is that what you want?" I asked, but she gave me an unsure look. I chuckled internally, knowing that it wouldn't be bad if she went to jail for what she did. She deserved to suffer but there wasn't an
RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE REDEMPTION ASHORE
Cage felt like the ground had been pulled out under him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What? How did this happen?" He asked in pure shock as he scanned his mind, wondering if he had misheard her. He blinked twice subsequently and pinched himself to make sure that this wasn't a dream and he wasn't living a nightmare. But none of the things he did convinced him that the nightmare was real. His assistant took a deep breath on the other end before she continued. She was conflicted deep down and couldn't help it at all. "We don't know yet. It was a targeted attack from the things I've seen. We are trying to beg more information, but right now, all we know is that the shipment was completely destroyed. Nothing survived the attack." Cage clenched his teeth as the rest of the words sank in. He was the only person who felt truly hurt and pained because he knew how many millions that had just gone to waste. He couldn't believe that this was happening to him. The people were now

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
