Oliver was still pacing around his office, he wouldn’t stop calling Megan but her phone kept repeating the same thing.It was switched off.The door to his office opened and his secretary walked in, Oliver already knew that it wasn’t good news that his secretary was bearing.“There has been no sight of her anywhere, Sir,” his secretary started, “the police have searched everywhere and…”“Then they need to search harder!” He roared, “get my private jet ready, I’m flying to New Jersey.” He ordered as he started to walk out.“I swear if it turns out to be that son of a bitch, Keith, he is going to hate the day he was born!” He threatened as he kept walking.“But Sir, you can’t leave the city, it’s risky,” his secretary reminded him but that fell on deaf ears.“The city needs you, protecting it is one of the reasons you are here.” He added, Oliver pinched the bridge of his nose as he made his way into the elevator.“The city doesn't seem to be in any shambles,” Oliver responded, “Megan ne
Oliver’s eyes widened and it felt like he didn’t hear her clearly due to the bells that rang in his head, “what?” He asked.Megan’s mouth opened and she wanted to repeat her words and tell him that she’s been kidnapped when the strange man took the phone away from her ear and brought it to his.“Jackson Moore,” the man said into the phone and Oliver stiffened, he knew that he recognized the voice but he couldn’t really put a face to it.“What do you say, we settle the rift between us and get to decide who is stronger.” The man added.“Jonathan,” Oliver immediately thought, pinching down hard on the bridge of his nose. He knew that something like this was going to happen.“Are you really this much of a coward, Jonathan?” Oliver asked, trapping the phone between his ear and shoulder as he opened his laptop.He knew how to track the location, all he had to do was make sure that he kept talking, “let her go.” He added.“You really are bold, Jackson,” Jonathan smirked, “what on earth makes
Sienna got to her house fuming and in rage as she sunk in one of the couches. Alexa was surprised to see her and she’d wanted to talk about her travel but she kept it to herself first.“What’s the matter? You don’t look like you’re in a good mood?” Delilah asked and Alexa handed her a glass of water before sitting down beside her.Sienna sighed as she stared away, she knew that she was never going to be satisfied until she’s living the life that she has always wanted.A life just like Oliver’s and if she couldn’t live it as Oliver’s wife, she was just going to think of another way to get herself the kind of lifestyle that she thinks she deserves.She thought about Oliver and something about him seemed weird to her, he looked like he was in a hurry and the Jackson Moore that she knew would love to see her suffer but Oliver just gave her money and drove away.On second thought, thinking about it caused her to get a little bit angry and she couldn’t help but question the universe.She br
“Who the hell had the fucking nerve to take my money?!” She yelled as she stomped back into the sitting room to see her mother and Austin eating the chicken and chips that her mother had prepared.“Where did you get the money for this? How were you able to afford all of this?” She asked her mother.Delilah only ignored her daughter and focused more on her chicken as she continued the conversation she was having with Austin.“You know what, I’m done!” Sienna yelled, “I am done trying my best and doing everything that I can to bring us out of the gutter.” She spat.“Oh yeah?” Delilah finally spoke, “and how do you intend to do that? By being selfish and stuffing all the money in your bag and hiding it under the bed?” Delilah snapped at her daughter.Rage washed through Sienna, she had a lot of things planned for the money, she had things that she wanted to do with the money but as usual her mother had ruined it all.“If you wanted to spend that much money, why don’t you go out there and
“It will take a whole lot more than machine guns to kill me, Jonathan and you of all people should know that already.” Oliver sneered back.He adjusted his suit, his eyes glaring around and looking for ways to get Megan out of the place she’s been tied to.Jonathan dashed at him and he swerved before burying his elbow in Jonathan’s back. Megan couldn’t do anything other than watch in awe as Oliver fought Jonathan.She’d thought that she had known everything that she was supposed to about Oliver but she hadn’t seen him in such a serious mood before.Oliver pressed what seemed like an AirPod that he had on and men started trooping in. Megan thought that they came to help Oliver and it wasn’t until they started untying her rope that she eventually got to realize that they came for her.“Take her to my suite, stay with her and I’ll join in approximately….” He checked his wrist watch, “thirty minutes.” He finished.The men wanted to move Megan but she didn’t budge and Jonathan started laug
Sienna eventually got to the bus stop and she sat on the chair she found there before crying her eyes out. She doesn’t get why life is being horrible to her and she thought that it was probably her own bad karma.“Still crying?” Alexa’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she turned with teary eyes to look at Alexa who smiled at her.“What are you doing here?” Sienna asked as she sniffled, “did you follow me?” She asked and Alexa nodded.“I guess you could say that,” Alexa smiled, she was waiting for the perfect time to break the news of her departure to her best friend but after what just happened, she had managed to push her flight forward till the next week.“Look, Sienna, you’re a really good person,” Alexa started and Sienna raised an eyebrow, part of her already knew where the conversation was leading to.“You just have to pick yourself back up and move on and forget about your personal vendetta with Oliver.” She added as she took Sienna’s hand in hers.“It’s just so not fa
Her mind wasn’t in one piece, she couldn’t help but feel bad for lying to her best friend and for also aiding someone that she was supposed to turn in for Oliver.The taxi came to an abrupt stop and she looked at the venue in front of her, it was an incomplete building and it was already getting dark too.Fear gripped her as she looked around and there was no sight of anyone, she brought out her phone but it wasn’t until she tried to turn it on that she realized that her phone had been dead.Sighing, she summoned her courage and made her way into the building but the sound of a gun firing caused her to stop right in her tracks as she found somewhere to hide.Are these men really Oliver’s men or just some other people that were after Keith.She placed her palm on her mouth and closed her eyes until she couldn’t hear any gunshot anymore although she was still scared.“There’s no one in here,” one of the men said, his frustration obvious in his voice and it was that moment that Sienna st
“Where am I?” Megan groaned, holding her head as she opened her eyes in a strange area. She tried to look around but her vision was still blurry.She couldn’t remember much from yesterday aside from the fact that Jonathan had knocked Oliver down.“Oliver!” She almost yelled in realization as she tried to stand but her body was still weak so she had no other choice than to remain in bed.Her world was spinning, questions ran through her mind but she had no answers to them because the only thing she could think of was if Oliver was safe.“What is the academy’s decision about Jonathan?” Oliver asked as he took his seat on one of the couches. He’d decided not to disturb Megan so he just left her there until she was awake.“It hasn’t been decided yet, the twelve great grandmasters have been summoned and do you know that Jonathan is a convict?” Lord Tate’s voice resonated from over the phone.“I know.” Oliver sighed, it’s hard for someone like Jonathan to not be a convict but what he didn’t
