CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO Rina took deep breaths as she walked into her parents house. She had been informed by her mother that Danny wanted to see her and although she was not in the mood to see her, she knew she must. As she had already denied her invitation for a meeting for too long. She didn't know if she was here yet, but she knew that punctuality was Danny's best trait. She never missed or came late to a meeting, formal or informal. Her palms were clammy as she tried to wipe them on her pants. She looked like the evil mistress with the way she was dressed, she was putting on a white sexy crop top with plain black baggy denim jeans that had a slit that almost made it to her inner thighs. Her heels made loud sounds as they came in contact with the wooden floor. She got to the front door and she halted a little. She took one last deep breath before she knocked lightly on the door. She waited for a while and in no time, the door was opened from the inside. “Goo
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE Rina and Danny looked at each other with hatred, they were literally shooting lasers at each other through their eyes, if that was possible. “And why the hell are you here? We made a deal, I said I'm on it, which I am. So why the hell are you trying to interfere?” Rina asked “Careful, we don't want your mother finding out about our deal do we?” Danny said as she made way to the door to make sure it was locked tight. Rina followed her with her gaze “So, where were we?” Danny asked with a playful smile dancing at the corner of her lips. She wanted to get Rina all riled up and it seemed like her plans were working fine. “We were at the point where you poke nosed in my business” Rina answered and she chuckled “Well, that is what I have always loved about you, why I wanted you close. That fiery spirit, I want to quench that fire, break that hard girl while you watch me do it” she said and Rina's glare increased. If her eyes could pop
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR Esme was seated with some of her guards, they had managed to get a blueprint of the house where Daniel entered when he left the building. She kept her eyes on the file in front of her as she nodded slowly. She could've let them go as they didn't really cause her son harm in any way, but she couldn't sleep knowing that the people who had her son kidnapped were roaming tge soio freely. She wouldn't be able to live with that. And another reason was the fact that she felt they had insulted her and she wouldn't take such insult lying down. She wanted to make her attack smooth and easy, fast too. So she knew she had to be calm. As the right time would come, and she would strike when the time was right. “The walls are made of granite” she heard one of the men say, he was not talking to her, rather he was talking to another person in the room, but her hearing managed to grab onto it. “Going in there would be a suicide mission. Heck, she wouldn't
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE“Driving, like I did earlier” Rina knew she would be mad. Veeda loved acting like a big sis and she had told her time without number to never make calls when she was driving, but she had never listened and she had just told her to ruffle her feathers. Although she knew she was very unpredictable. “Are you nuts Ri? making calls while driving? How many times have I warned you to not do such?” Veeda screamed in her ears. Rina sighed, Veeda would do well as a mother, she loved nagging. She had already ruffled her feathers, so maybe she could just do more. That was the thought Rina had in mind as she said “And to be precise, I didn't call you, you called me” she waited for Veeda to ay something and it was as if her words created a pause and okay button in Veeda's head because she kept quiet for about five seconds before she finally screamed “ You …” she wanted to curse out but she stopped herself. She had always told Rina not to use curse word
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX ***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 well, it was a planned
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN Mario opened his eyes to see where he was in, but he couldn't see much as the place was dark. He tried to stand up but he felt severe pains on the side of his head and he winced as he touched the affected side of his head. He felt the moistness on his fingers and since he couldn't really see, he brought it to his nose and took a sniff. It was blood, lots of it on the side of his head. He tried to recall what had happened ***Few hours ago*** Jake walked into the room where Mario had been tied up by the guards, Mario sneered when he saw him. “I said I wanted to speak with the master, not the master's cub” Mario said and Jake chuckled “Yeah, I heard. But the master is kinda busy with a little bit of arrangement at the moment, so you'd just have to make do with the cub, your Majesty” Jake said mockingly. “Arrangements? What arrangements?” Mario asked. He didn't like the sound of that. It wasn't a coincidence that Esme was busy with arran
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT Esme had been invited to Owen's birthday party, and she would have loved to honour the invitation as it would even help in taking her mind off things, but for some reason, she didn't attend. She felt the need to stay at home and Katherine had left on her own. She was seat d in her room, going through the pictur frames of she and her sons that were on the wall and she felt dejavu wash over her. Those pictures were pictures of them that were taken when they were still kids and when they were in their early teenage age, she missed those moments. When Jake was still around the both of them would go over those pictures throughout the night, reminiscing old time memories until it was dark and he would sleep in her room because he felt she would be lonely after she lost her husband a few years back. She missed him dearly and it really hurt her because she couldn't really do a thing about it. She hadn't gotten a call or a message from the unknown per
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE 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,
