ONE MONTH LATER: WAYNE.

A month after thousands of people were interviewed to work in Wayne's car company, only a few were chosen.

Talia was still working as manager, while Ruby also kept her position as P.A. (personal assistant).

Wayne was in his office going through some papers when Ruby walked into his office without knocking. Wayne looked up to see that it was Ruby.

"Did you just barge into my office without knocking?" Wayne asked.

"I'm so sorry sir, I honestly forgot to knock," Ruby muttered.

"But I've seen Talia walk in without knocking before," Ruby muttered in a low tone, but it wasn't low enough because Wayne heard her.

"What did you just say?" Wayne frowned at her.

"No, I..."

"You know what? I want you to hand in your resignation by tomorrow morning, you should know that you're not here for jokes or any kind of competition and more importantly I won't let you disrespect me." Wayne scolded.

"Please boss, I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again, please, don't fire me, pl

    "Ruby, I need you to come over to my office right away," Wayne said into the phone. And within a few minutes Wayne heard a knock at his door, it was Ruby."Come in," Wayne said bluntly."S-sir, you wanted to see me," Ruby mumbled."What does that mean, huh? Tell me," Wayne said assertively, there was seriousness in his voice. Hearing Wayne sound like that, Ruby began to tremble with fear.She stretched her head a little to get a glimpse of what Wayne was showing her, because she was too scared to get close to Wayne. When she saw the papers on Wayne's table, her eyes widened in shock."Sir, I don't know what you're talking about," she lied. Wayne laughed and put his hand to his forehead, then looked up at her."Are you joking with me?" Wayne asked."No, no sir, I swear I don't know what you're talking about." "Well that's fine, I'll remind you. Now, these are the documents I asked you to go through, and looking at these files you knew it would take you weeks to finish going through th

    The man stood in front of Mrs Emilia's front door and motioned for her to wind it down, at first Mrs Emilia hesitated, but when she saw the man pull a gun from his trousers and point it directly at Mrs Emilia, fear gripped her, knowing that with one shot it could penetrate, as her car wasn't bulletproof. She rolled down the glass of her front door as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out a cloud of smoke that blurred Mrs Emilia's vision for a few seconds."You must be Mr Cooper's wife?" The man asked."Y-yes, what do you want? We don't owe anyone any money." Mrs Emilia said in a trembling tone."Well that's not why I'm here old woman, no I want you to get out of your car and come with us, my boss wants to have a word with you," Thean gave a sly grin."A word with me, why?" Mrs Emilia asked badly as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out much more smoke than before, making Mrs Emilia cough and choke."Well, that question would be f

    "I'm sorry you didn't know this before, Nathan, but Amber is your daughter," Mrs Emilia muttered."Daughter?" Mr Nathan muttered."It's a long story son," Mr Cooper said."Well, I still need to know, damn it! It can't be true," Mr Nathan laughed bitterly, as if realising what he had just been told."How? And why are you telling me this now?" Mr Nathan asked."Because we only found out a few days ago," Mr Emilia replied."Amber, do you know about this?" Mr Nathan asked Amber and Amber shrugged her shoulders."I don't even know who I am, not even my name, let alone who my parents are or were. All I know is that I found myself in a hospital, with a man and a woman claiming to be my parents, and now I am sitting in front of a man who has just been told that he is my father, tell me what else to believe?" Amber grumbles."What is she talking about?" Mr Nathan asked."Son, I think you should sit down, I'm fine and I don't have any heart ailments," Mr Cooper managed to sit up, then adjusted

    "Father," Mr Oliver called to his father, who was about to leave. Mr Cooper turned to Mr Oliver."Yes?" Mr Cooper replied, then stood up and waited for Mr Oliver to come to where he was standing."There is something I would like to discuss with you," Mr Oliver muttered, looking back suspiciously as if he were hiding something."What is it?" Mr Cooper asked, this time in a lower tone because he didn't want Mr Oliver to hear him."Where are you going?" Mr Oliver asked."To the hospital of course, I have to go for my check-up," Mr Cooper grumbled."Well, how about I take you instead?""But I already called the driver," Mr Cooper muttered."The driver can go back in, I need to talk to you privately, so why don't I take you for your check-up while we talk about this," Oliver insisted."I hope it's not something that's going to raise my blood pressure, you know I'm old now, I don't entertain bad news any more," "Dad, enough with the rumbling, your blood pressure won't rise, it's just a nor

"I didn't ignore you, I just said I don't know where he is, I didn't see him this morning," Amber explained, her eyes on Mrs Emilia this time. "Why are you always getting on my nerves?" Mrs Emilia asked, glaring at Amber in disgust. "But what have I done wrong?" Amber asked. "Yes, what did she do wrong?" Mrs Laurette interrupted. "Excuse me?" Mrs Emilia asked. "I heard everything she said, she doesn't know where he is, so why are you insulting her?" Mrs Laurette muttered. "Who gave you the idea to interfere? Or have you gone mad?" Mrs Emilia growled at Mrs Laurette. What do you mean, interfere? Don't I have the right to know why you're scolding my daughter?" Mrs Laurette defended herself.

Lucas muttered."About my dad, yeah, is that why you called?" Wayne asked."Yes Master, it was so brutal, we managed to collect the rest of him, can I send you the pictures?" Lucas asked."Are you out of your mind? No, really, tell me, what are you trying to insinuate? You want to send the picture of my father to make me happy, right?

You said it was important,“ Diana said.Bailey cleared her throat.“Yes, I called you because I need a Favour from you,”“And what is that?““I want you to help me lure someone into dating you, I want you to seduce him and all that,” Bailey said.

Wayne giggled bitterly.“So this is really who you are. You were working for them all this while and had the guts to pretend to my face?“ Wayne said. Blake had handed the gun over to Mr Kain. His gun was in his car, so right now he was harmless.Wayne could see how terrified Blake was. And even from the distance between them, Wayne could notice Blake trembling from his head to his toe.“Boss, please,”“Don't fucking call me that, Do you dare call me your Boss,” Wayne said.While Wayne was busy, focused on Blake. Mr Kain felt it was the best opportunity to end Wayne life once and for all.“Bang!!!!“ Talia gasped. Her eyes focused on Mr Kain who was just shot on the head. His eyes opened facing the ceiling as he laid down flat on the floor. He was dead. Gone!Wayne was all focused on Blake, but he wasn

His whole body arched in pain. The last two men who came for him had punched on the spot where he was shot. “Bang! Bang!“ Wayne and the rest of the men heard gunshots coming from inside the warehouse. Wayne's eyes flew open in shock. What if Talia had been shot.Wayne ran towards the door. One of the men ran after him, gripping him on his shoulder.“Where do you think you're going, huh? Bang!“ Wayne heard another Gunshot.With Wayne being distracted again. The man threw an unexpected punch at Wayne's left rib cage. Wayne heard a cracking sound. He groaned in

    Wayne stood firm positioning himself to take the huge guy who was coming for him.The huge guy paused on his track, turning back to face another car that had pulled up behind them. The boss might have called in more of his men.Four men hopped out from the G-wagon, all armed as they advanced towards the order men.They glanced at the ground, gazing at the guns on the floor. They all giggled, turning to themselves. Throwing their own gun to the floor. Because they understood what was going on.Wayne stood alone injured with gun shot all over his body, facing twelve men.Without warning, the first man lunged towards him, fist swinging widely, Wayne dodged, delivering a quick and swift punch to the man's temple.

Tell your men to let her go,” Wayne took a step closer, pointing the gun at Mr Kain.Mr Kain took out a blade from his pocket, he held the knife at Talia's neck. Pressing it tight that it gave Talia a little cut.Dannis attempted to stop Mr Kain, but one of the gang men held him back. “Where do you think you're going?“ The gang man said to Dannis.“I'm sorry but you'll have to go through my men, provide my daughter if you want your girl back. Boys! handle him,” Mr Kain ordered.Wayne turned back because two cars had pulled over behind him. More gang men stepped out of the car. Holding all kinds of weapons.Talia, Dannis and Kelvin were all taken inside while Wayne had to face about a dozen men alone.******“He knew my name, How did he fucking know my name?“ Mr Kain kept rumbling.

    An Explosion..Ruby eyes flew open in shock, what was that noise. It came from outside, immediately Theresa had stepped out. Could it be that Theresa, No! No way!Wayne had planted bombs specifically for Those gang men. In case they would find their way to Theresa and Ruby. Wayne had chained Theresa and Ruby, thinking they wouldn't be able to leave until he was back. He hadn't planted those bombs for Theresa nor did he plant it For Ruby.But it was quite unfortunate that Theresa was a victim. Ruby was scared to death. What if Theresa had released her. What if they both were together. She would have died too. Sometimes good things come in bad ways. And TmRuby had just realized that.TALIA.Talia was being carried because she had been shot on the leg. She was unable to walk and the warehouse was hours away, Dannis and Kelvin were behind, with three other guards who followed behind them.“Move!“ one of the guards pushed Dannis.

We could use it to unlock these locks. If you want to get out of here, we would have to work together,” Theresa mumbled.Ruby stared at the pin. Wondering how a pin was going to help get them out of the situation.“How does this basically work?“ Ruby asked. Theresa rolled her eyes in annoyance..“Just pick up the pin first, i'll tell you what to do next,” Theresa said. Ruby tried to reach for the pin because Theresa spat the pin next to the chained hand, so t

    A few hours later. The boss arrived.“Who would build such a beautiful cabin in the middle of the woods? I almost lost my way here,” The boss said. Two guards were behind him. Talia hadn't seen these guards before. Obviously they were his personal guards and they had no business in the warehouse where Talia was locked. Unlike those filthy, disgusting gang men. These men were dressed in uniforms. They both seemed unaggressive. But not like all these things Talia had noticed about these men would change the fact that she would be dead soon. And the sad part was that she had to bring Dannis and his brother with her.Speaking of Dannis, his bleeding had stopped. He just knelt there, quiet. Kelvin on the other hand couldn't stop mumbling.“If I knew, I would have stayed back, I would have let you face this whole bullshit alone. Now you're going to lose everything, both the company, and soon your life. Oh! God! I wouldn't have come here,” Kelvin kept rumbling until the Boss had arrived.

    Talia took the phone from Dannis, she dialled Wayne's number, and on the last ring, he picked up.Wayne got into his car, he was on his way when his phone rang.“He finally decided to call,” Wayne scuffed. “Hello,” Wayne said.“Hello Boss,” it was a familiar voice, not that of Blake, It was Talia's voice.“Talia, where are you?!“ Wayne said.“Uhmm, I don't know, they kidnapped me, Blake…. Bang! Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!”“He—Hello, Talia! Are you there?“ All Wayne could hear was shooting. But there was something intriguing about the other voice. It sounded so familiar. And why would she mention Blake's name, what was she about to tell Wayne? TALIA.Busy when Talia was about to warn Wayne about Blake. There was a loud noise on the door. “Bang!“ The door fell to the floor. The phone slipped out of Talia's hands.“Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!” Blake walked in pointing the gun at all of them. Behind Blake were about five of the men who had kidnapped Talia.
