"What will we do?" Sean asked Riley, who sat without any sign of concern. "Won't you say anything? The boss is in danger right now." "And why should I care? Should we sacrifice ourselves for him? I'm sure he will find a way to save himself," she said nonchalantly. Sean groaned in anger as the door flung open and Baroan entered. Sean quickly explained things to her. "Then we have to swing into action, Riley," Allison called to her. She didn't reply. "She said it's none of her concern. We have to find a way out by ourselves." "Why was he abducted?" Allison asked. "In front of his house," he said. "I'm sure you can track them with the nearby CCTV. I will call a reliable police officer for backup." Sean nods, "Okay, I will."

Tom's POV As the night draped itself in a cloak of darkness, I remained on my knees, enduring the searing pain and the crimson stains of blood. Cradled in my arms, my son, Liam slept soundly, oblivious to the turmoil unfolding around him. My determination held strong—I refused to rise until they reconsidered their decision. "You're still here, but this changes nothing. The verdict has been passed," Ariana uttered with a mix of frustration and resignation. "How could you do this? I placed my trust in you, and yet you... you abandoned our son," I mustered the last remnants of energy within me to speak. "You are despicable. You are poor. My love for you remains, unchangeable. But I cannot bear being dragged down into the mud," she responded, tears streaming down her face. "Can't you plead with your father on my behalf? I'm certain he will listen to you," I implored, desperately grasping at any sliver of hope. "Listen, you just don't understand. My father has already forced me to ch

With impeccable poise, he gracefully alighted from the vehicle, effortlessly gliding into his surroundings. In a gesture of trust, he handed me a stack of files to hold, and together, we ventured into the company premises, my presence subtly shadowing his every move. Whispers danced through the air as we made our entrance, their purposeful volume exposing their intention to be heard. "Have you heard? He's been reduced to nothing more than a mere driver," one staff member declared, ensuring their words reached my ears. The subsequent murmurs cascaded like a waterfall, each drop laden with judgments and opinions. "Just a parasite," a voice sneered, venom dripping from each syllable. The atmosphere grew heavy with disdain, suffocating the space we occupied. "Stay nearby," he instructed, his voice laced with authority, and o

Determined to find a temporary refuge, we continued walking towards the bus terminal, our only hope of escaping the encroaching darkness that would soon cloak the city.
