Owen saw that she was on the verge of giving in, so he made a solemn expression and Rina sighed before giving in. “Ok, but you'll promise to call me if you get lonely” she said and Rose chuckled “Oh, yes I will” she said as she gave her a tight hug. “I'll be on my way now, the guards are waiting for me” she told Rina who nodded her head and let go of her hand. She watched Rose leave the hallway and when she was gone, she walked into her room, leaving the door ajar. Owen saw the way she left the door and he took that as an invitation. He let himself in and his eyes searched the room where he saw her shadow, she stood at the balcony and he could see the way the cool air carried her hair around. He walked to her and stood about a few feets away from her. He didn't know where to start from, he knew the image she saw earlier was clear enough and he didn't know how to have a decent conversation with he

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE Maria had just finished speaking with Kate on the phone, she had managed to calm her down after some time and now, she knew she had to do something. She dialed Esme's number and it didn't go through at first, she sighed before trying again and it went through the second time, she was relieved. “Good evening Esme, hope I'm not disturbing?” Maria asked and Esme replied “No you're not, I was even having trouble sleeping, I could use the company” Esme lied through her teeth “You're having trouble sleeping, why?” Maria asked, trying to act concerned even though she was not interested in whatever it was. “Well, stuff and stuffs “ she chuckled lightly “But I do not think you actually called to know if I was asleep or not, so what's it? Why did you call?” Esme asked and Maria took that as a cue to stop asking questions and go straight to business. “Uhmm, Is Jake with you?

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO “Wake up” Jake heard someone say. His sight was blurry and the sounds came in huge waves. He wondered where he was as his brain couldn't gather enough details to match with his current situation. He couldn't feel his legs and his hands felt as if they were tied or something. He struggled to free his hands but his efforts were in vain because it felt as if the more he struggled, the more the hands tightened. “He's waking up” He heard someone say, But he couldn't see who was talking. The whole place was dark, he shut his eyes and opened them again, but it was still the same thing. Slowly, he became fully conscious and the memories started to pour in. He remembered how he was with Kate when his mother called him, down to where the stupid guard knocked him out. He cursed under his breath, he knew Kate would be worried about him. He realized the weight of his situation. The real Jake was back and now, they ha

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREE “Arghhhh” Mario screamed as he felt the hot iron on his chest for the umpteenth time. ‘These people were demons’ he thought in his mind. He had given them every piece of information that would have been important to him, but they were still hellbent on knowing who he was working with, and he was not ready to tell them anytime soon. His chest hurt, but he wasn't going to give them the satisfaction they needed. He knew it wouldn't be long again, they would let him go as they wouldn't want to kill him. “Who do you work with? I ask again” the man asked again and Jaje smirked “Is that all you got?” He asked the man with a cock of his brows and the man sighed. He had tried all means possible to hear an answer from Mario's mouth, but it seemed like the guy was not willing to give him any more information. “Just one simple answer and we wouldn't have to go through all these processes. But you are t

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOUROwen rolled on his back with a sigh. He opened his eyes to see the tiny rays of sun filtering into the room from the side of the curtains. He turned to look at Rina who was still sleeping soundly by his side. He smiled after a while, she looked like a kid when she was asleep. He brought his legs down from the bed and on the bed table, he picked up his phone to look at the time. He was surprised to see that it was just a few minutes past seven. He thought he would oversleep due to the tiredness from yesterday's event and the time he went to bed. It seemed his body was already used to waking up early. He walked straight into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and took his bathe. He came out of the bathroom clad in only his waist towel and he had a brush in his hand. He could have brushed his hair in the bathroom but he decided to do it out here. “Good morning” he heard from the side and he turned to see Rina sitti

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE “You see, although no one would caution me if I go late, but I think I have about twenty four minutes more before my arrival be regarded as late, so let's make good use of our time, what do you think?” Owen asked and from the look of excitement in her eyes, he needed no soothsayer to tell him that she was fully in. “Shall we?” He asked, just to be sure and she nodded her head slowly to show affirmation. Owen smiled as he took off the towel which was the only piece of clothing on his body while Rina just raised the nightgown she was putting on up her thighs, and they got to work immediately. ************ “Did you find anything mum?” Kate asked her mother for the umpteenth time. Maria sighed as she dropped the phone on the bedside table. Kate had asked her this after every single call she had made since her arrival and it was beginning to bug her now. She had not expected Kate to arrive that early

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE Maria and Kate had just gotten to Kate's and Jake's home, There they could already see him standing outside the house. He stood close to his car, tapping his leg continuously on the locked floors. He seemed uneasy and Kate watched him carefully, she felt there was something wrong. She turned to look at her mother and she could see that Maria felt the same way. “Jake” she called and he turned to her almost immediately. It seemed he had been oblivious to her arrival all the while. She ran into his arms and hugged him tight. He stood there for a minute, unmoving and Kate thought she had done something wrong. She thought they bonded well the day before and that was why she hugged him, it seemed they were back to square one. She felt her heart sink as she slowly released her arms around him, in an attempt to let go of him but he drew her back in, enveloping her in a tight hug while Kate's face broke into a relaxed smile. He looked up at once and he

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN************* ***Two days later*** “What the hell are you trying to say, where the hell is my son?” Tamara barked on the phone. Her palms were sweaty and her throat hurt from shouting continuously. Daniel had left home for work early this morning and a few minutes later, his guards were telling her that they were attacked on their way and he was taken. She had sent messages to her ground workers and many had called to relay the same information, ‘he was nowhere to be found’ “I'm sorry ma'am, we tried our best but we can't seem to find him. It seems he was taken directly out of the city because if he wasn't, we would have seen him by now” the man answered over the phone “You're so incompetent, how many places did you check? Was there not a CCTV camera where he was taken? Can't you start the search from there?” She barked for the umpteenth time. “There were no CCTV’s there ma’am, it was a blind spot, the perpetrators knew the place

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHT Maria had left and it was just Jake and Kate in their room. He sat on one of the couches deep in thought while she sat at the edge of the bed, cautiously observing him. He had been acting weird since he returned and she had wanted to ask if something was wrong but she couldn't muster the courage to do so. She tried to remember if she had offended him in any way before he left, but she couldn't come up with anything. They were cool before his disappearance and now, he was acting all cold and it troubled her. On the other hand, Jake was patiently waiting for Kate to fall asleep so he could call his mum to ask about any new developments. They were on tenterhooks as they were sure that Mario's accomplices would likely retaliate if they found out he had been kidnapped. He didn't want to leave his mum alone in the middle of all this, but Maria and Kate were close to finding out his location and the only way to stop them would be to show his face to them, s

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX “I shouldn't have fought with her” Kate said, as she lay in bed with Mario in her room. She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE They had been standing for the past ten minutes and Danny had not said a word to them even after everything Tyla had said. The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR Rina sat on the floor in the bathroom, she had left the shower on so she could cry and shout without anyone outside noticing even though she knew they wouldn't notice since the walls were soundproof and she had shut the door damn tight. She couldn't take Tyla's voice off her mind, the statement repeated itself severally in her ears and she tried to shut it off, but it wasn't working out. Of all the times, now that she had finally fallen for him, now that she had decided to be good, live a good life and make kids with him. She laughed warily. It seems fate has its own way of making decisions. She had finally become a first wife without even asking for it. Never in her wildest dreams would she think that something like this would actually happen. She didn't grow up in a polygamous family so she wouldn't want her kid to grow up in one as she knew about the issues that always resulted. She got under the running shower with her clothes on

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes. She came out after a little time and she went downstairs to see Gabriel. He came with his assistant, his handbag as she addressed him before. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” She asked as she walked down the stairs majestically. Gabriel and the man raised their heads up simultaneously to look at her. “Tamara” Gabriel called and she cocked a brow at him. “What is it Mr man?” She asked “How's Daniel?” He asked and she chuckled loudly. “Oh, you remembered to ask of him today. That's weird, did something happen to Owen? Huh? Best father of the year” She said, her voi

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocked

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE “Unfortunately, I can't. You have to listen to me” Mario yelled back and that earned him a glare from Kate. “I do not regret it because no matter how many times I look at it, all I can see is the day you walked through that door and then the moment you agreed to marry me” he paused for a while. “At first, I had decided that I would just play along until it was time to leave, but after spending a day with you, here in this house, I fell without second thoughts. I do not know what you have done or what you are doing to me Kate, heck I didn't even marry you out of love, but I can gladly tell you that this man right here is on a leash and you Kate, are the one who holds that leash” he paused again. He could see she was literally struggling with the tears that were threatening to pour out any minute. “I understand why you're acting this way, but I just want you to know that I am very sorry and I wish you would actually forgive me and we can go b

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE Owen had his arms wrapped around Tyla as they lay on the bed. He knew Rina would probably scream her head out if she came in and saw them in this position. But he had to do what was important and getting Tyla to sleep was very important at this moment. He ran his hand across her back and she relaxed against his touch. They lay side to side, her back pressed closely against his chest, while his arm was wrapped around her waist. “Owen” she called, her voice a little bit groggy. He could tell that she was almost falling asleep. “Hmm” he replied and she was silent for a while, the beeping sound of the machines in the room being the only sound audible. She sighed loudly before she finally spoke up. “Do you think bad people deserve to be loved too?” She asked and he was taken back by her question. He didn't think she would actually ask him something like this. “Yeah” he answered sincerely “Everybody deserves to be loved” he added. She wanted
