“Good morning sir!” The receptionist greeted Damien as he walked into the office for the first time that morning. “Good morning. How are you?” He asked her but did not stop to get his reply as he walked hastily out of sight to his office. It was very obvious that he was worried about something, and his employees at the office could only observe him. He got to his office with a troubled heart, he did not seem to be prepared to carry out the day's activity in the office as he could not think straight at all. Sitting on his swirling chair and heaving a sigh, his phone suddenly began to buzz, and he looked to see who was calling. He picked up the call and placed the phone over his, inhaling deeply before he talked. “Hello, sir!” The person said, and Damien leaned backward to rest his back on the chair, taking a deep breath before he responded. “Yeah. Hello, what is going on? Any update on the assignment that I gave you?” Damien asked rapidly, as he could not wait to hear the response t
“I need to find a way to talk to her. She might know a thing about Eric.” Damien thought as he watched Master Chadwick eat his food. “May I excuse myself, master?” He said in a low tone, and Master Chadwick gave a nod as he concentrated on his food, not uttering a single word in response. He stood up from his chair and walked over to where Emily was seated. “Good day, ma'am.” Damien greeted in a low tone as he approached Emily at her table, and she immediately tilted her head to look at who was greeting her. “Good day.” She replied in a cracking tone as she made a scrunching face as if she were trying to recall if she had met him before, but his face did not seem to ring a bell in her head. “Sorry, may I sit,” Damien asked, pointing to the empty seat in front of her, she tilted her head to look at the chair before she nodded her head, clearing her throat slightly before she talked. “I am sorry, but do I know you from somewhere?” She asked and Damien exhaled heavily as he sat on t
It’s been over a week since Eric had been kidnapped. He could not help but wonder what was going on outside the house where he was being kept.“Who is there?” He asked in a loud tone as he demanded a reply from whoever was outside the locked door. The only difference from the first day after today was that he had been untied and moved to another room where there was a bed.He paced up and down inside the room, as he did not know what else to do at this moment. “The most surprising and annoying is that Lydia had the effrontery to switch sides against me. How dare she?” He asked himself as he took a deep breath and walked back to his bed to sit, heaving a sigh as he sat down.“How do I get from this mess? I need to find a way out of this place as fast as I can. What could Samantha be going through?” He asked himself as he slowly tilted his head around the whole room before he took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He leaned backward to rest his back on the pillow but felt uncomfor
Micheal rolled to the other side of the bed as he slowly opened his eyes but squinted in response to the light that came in through the window. “It's been over a week now, and I keep forgetting that I am back in my house.” He said to himself as he rolled back to the other side before opening his eyes completely. He sat up on the bed, heaving a sigh while he did so, looking at the whole place for a moment before taking a deep to stand up from the bed. “So, what is it for today?” He asked himself as he walked into the bathroom.Not long after, he came out of the bathroom and headed straight to the bedroom. His mind suddenly wandered off to a thought as he heaved a sigh and leaned against the wall. “The house is feeling too empty. Should I call mother to come back home?” He thought for a while but could not come up with a decision. He was jolted from his reverie by the buzzing sound of his ringing phone. He walked over to the side of the bed where his phone was, and he picked it up to se
Damien suddenly got a call, and he tilted his head to look at his phone to see who was calling. An unknown number appeared on his screen, and he contemplated whether to pick up the call or not. He shook his head before picking up the phone to take the call.“Hello!” He said, almost inaudible, as he placed the phone over his ears. “Good day, Mr. Damien.” The lady said over the phone, and he made a puzzled face instantly as he brought the phone from his ears to see the number again before placing it back over his ears.“Good day. Who am I unto please?” Damien asked in a low tone as he cleared his throat slightly.“My name is Lydia.” She said, but the name did not ring a bell in his head as he tilted his head to look at the ceiling, trying to remember if he had heard that name once before.“Who are you and how did you get my contact?” Damien asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone as he leaned backward to relax his back, waiting to hear her talk.“Eric gave me your number. I don't wa
Samantha woke up with a slight headache. She heaved a sigh as she sat up on the bed, tilting her head around the whole room. She placed a palm on her forehead and winced as the pain intensified, causing her to take a deep breath as if it could help subdue the pain, but it changed nothing.“Who is there?” She managed to say as she grunted, standing up from the bed and walking to the door to knock from inside. She got no response immediately, and she scoffed, walking back to the bed. “Why am I feeling such an intense headache?” She asked herself as she sat down on the edge of the bed, while her mind wandered off to Eric. She wondered how Eric was fairing wherever he was kept. After a while, she was jolted from her reverie by the sudden spike in the pain in her head.Just then, she heard the clinging sound of the door, and she tilted her head almost immediately to look at who walked in. Her gaze fell on Bryan as he walked slowly towards her with his hands held behind his back as he only
“I am sick and tired of all this! What are you doing to get back my grandson?” Master Chadwick asked in a harsh tone as he placed around the space of Damien's office. Damien could not utter a single word, as he did not know what to say. “I have the best technology in the vicinity, yet you cannot use it to find out the place where he is being kept? What kind of manager are you? You had only one job when you found out he was the one we had been looking for. And that was to keep him in check until I arrived.” He said, and Damien heaved a sigh as he tried to arrange the thoughts in his head before he talked.“Master Chadwick, it was not entirely my fault. I could not hold him down. He asked me not to interfere in his private life. I tried hard to get him to stay, but he said he wanted to put some things in place before he finally moved into the mansion. I told him that you will be coming to check on him. He asked me to tell you not to announce that he was your grandson. I was meant to se
Samantha paced around her room slowly, trying hard not to think about the threats that were issued to her by Bryan just a few moments ago. She took a deep breath, completely ignoring her headache as he thought of a way out of the mess. “I regret ever going out that day to look for a job before walking right into the hands of this psychopath.” She thought, heaving a sigh as she slowly leaned against the wall. Her heart raced faster and pondered harder as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. “I just hope Eric is safe wherever he is.” She said to herself. She came off the wall and walked slowly to the bed as Bryan's words reverberated in her mind constantly. “I won't touch you sexually or physically until you agree to be mine.” His words played out in her head and she could not shake it off immediately. She sat slowly on the bed and tilted her head to look at the ceiling, taking a deep breath before she lay down. Her eyes became heavy as she did not know what else to do. “There is no
