The bank alert left Damien perplexed; he had never earned a quarter of that amount in his entire life. The most confusing part was the source: the person he had been paid to kidnap. Imagining his daughter strong and healthy again, Damien felt joy and confusion mingling within him.

“Why would you transfer $200,000 to someone hired to kidnap and harm you? It's illogical; who behaves like that?” Damien questioned Michael, guilt evident in his eyes.

“I don’t have any issues with you, Mr. Trust me when I say I know how desperate you must have felt before taking this job. I have a good sense of people, and I can see that you're not a bad person; you're just frustrated at the moment,” Michael calmly replied.

Michael’s response triggered a religious awakening in Damien, making him genuinely question his actions. Unable to meet Michael's gaze, Damien grappled with guilt.

"But what do you really know about me? You only found out about my daughter when you overheard my conversation with my wife.

    “I still can’t believe Frederick will be this ungrateful after all I have done for him. Why must men always backbite?” Mr. Winchester said in annoyance. He couldn’t believe the manager of one of his biggest companies would be behind his son’s abduction.Mr. Charles stood beside him with his arms wrapped around his chest, completely lost in his thoughts. He was excellent at giving business advice to the billionaire, but this was a different case. He knew for a fact that a wrong decision might claim the life of his boss's only son, but he couldn’t let Frederick take away what his master had spent years building.“What do you suggest we do?” Mr. Winchester asked in frustration. Mr. Charles was quiet; this was the first time he could not answer his boss when he usually asked him for an opinion.“Say something, Charles; you can’t remain quiet forever,” Mr. Winchester yelled in disappointment. He knew he had to say something; after all, that is what he was paid for. But he knew his opinion

    Waking up at the majestic Winchester Mansion had never been more exhilarating than it was today. Mr. Winchester had not slept at all; he remained seated beside his son's bed, gazing at him throughout the night. Though Michael insisted he was alright, his father had different doctors examine him before he went to bed. Michael was awakened by Mr. Charles' voice expressing concern, saying, "Sir, you need to get some sleep. It's already morning, and you haven't slept for two nights.""Lower your voice, Charles. You wouldn't want to provoke my anger by disturbing my son," he said calmly but with a menacing look directed at Mr. Charles. “I am already awake, Dad. Good morning to you all,” he said as he slowly stretched himself on the bed.“How are you feeling, son? Should I inform the doctor to come over?” he asked eagerly. “I am alright, Dad, don’t worry about me; I am okay,” he replied, trying to calm his father’s anxiety.“Oh no! I am running late for my morning classes; I slept past the

    The prison corridor felt cold and damp as Mr. Winchester walked down it. The echoing footsteps filled the air, and he finally got to Mr. Frederick's cell. The two guys were like night and day – Mr. Winchester all spiffy, looking like he owned the place, and Mr. Frederick a mess, with this arrogant expression on his face.The cell door creaked open, and Mr. Winchester stepped in. He gave Mr. Frederick a look, not too happy. "Fredrick, you screwed up big time. Trying to hurt my son was a dumb move, and now you're gonna pay for it."Mr. Frederick, laying on his bunk, smirked at Mr. Winchester. "Winchester, you act like your kid is the only one with enemies. There are bigger forces at play, and your precious Michael is in more danger than you think."Getting up close, Mr. Winchester said in a low, serious voice, "Your threats won't help. My son's gonna be safe, and you'll rot in here for what you did."Fredrick chuckled, and it sent a shiver through Mr. Winchester. "You're clueless, Winch

    Mr. Frederick sat silently in the interrogation room, both of his hands cuffed to the chair and his head hung low as two police officers stood over him."Tell us more about what happened to Mary, Mr. Frederick," one of the officers in charge of the investigation asked, but Frederick stayed silent.Mr. Frederick could already tell this wasn't going to end well for him. He had no idea how long he'd been in this room, but he could tell this wouldn't end in his favor if he did not give these men what they wanted. The only problem was that he still did not want to."We need all the information we can get from you regarding this case, Mr. Frederick. This matter is proving to be more complicated than we thought," the second policeman said, his eyes staring down intently at the man sitting before him."I already gave you everything I know. What more do you two want from me?" Mr. Frederick asked, already tired and exhausted from all the interrogation. He could feel his head pounding hard from

    “Charles, I want you to do some real research of the people we have been associated with for the past 25 years and see if you can get any information about a woman named Eva” Mr Winchester instructed as he continued pacing back and front with his arms crossed behind him."On it, sir," Mr. Charles responded as he departed, leaving his boss to the outside."How could she have known that Mr. Frederick was being interrogated and was on the verge of exposing her? Who could she be, and what does she want from Mary and my son?" Mr. Winchester pondered slowly in his deep thoughts..The fact that she got the inspector transferred within few hours really shook the hell out of him. Mr Winchester couldn’t even believe how influential she was that the whole police headquarters turned deaf ears to his request to prevent the Inspector’s transfer.“I am sorry sir, the only Eva i found was a sister to one of your investors. But she passed away 15 years ago,” Mr Charles said out as he returned.That ca

They need to pay for what they've done. Why would the dean of student affairs ask you to forget about it?" Michael asked, upset, and Ezra sighed."Are you seriously asking me that? Isn't it obvious that the dean wants nothing to do with this case because it happens to involve Jack McCoy?" Ezra said, shaking his head in disbelief."Come on, let's go back. He has to hear us out," Michael said, and both Michael and Ezra returned to the Dean's office. Michael did everything he could to convince the dean to reconsider his decision."Sir, this isn't fair to Ezra. Just take a good look at what they did to him. You can't just let them off so easily," Michael said, trying to reason with him, but the dean frowned."Excuse me?! Are you trying to teach me how to do my job, Winchester?

All the members have blended so well that you couldn’t even suspect it."Charles, I need you to reach out to some friends at the Secret Service. Find out everything they know about EVA," Mr. Winchester instructed with a sense of urgency in his voice.“But sir, we can’t do that. What if they are also members of the organisation, remember Christian said we shouldn’t trust anyone. We can’t blow up our lead; by allowing them know we are aware of who they are” Mr Charles retorted respectfully."You're right, Charles. But what's our move now?

It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M

    Arturo Is Arrested

    Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you?

    The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their

The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch

    “Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i

If your boss was truly arrested, then I promise you the police men are not from my station,” the inspector dismissed.“Wow! Impressive I must be mistaking then. What do you take me for, inspector?
