All her life, Daniel had been her inspiration, her motivation and her love for him was beyond comprehension.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “Go in” Owen heard the voice of someone, most probably their leader as he commanded the others to move in. Just as Owen suspected earlier, the assassins were professionals as they moved swiftly without even as much as a sound on the wooden floor. Owen observed his room, looking for an escape route incase things goes south or if his father didn’t make it on time. He heard them push the first door down and his mind skipped a beat. They wasted some time before breaking down the second door. It seemed like they had thoroughly searched the room. They did this to like three more doors before finally getting to his room door. He was scared out of his wits and the first instinct that kicked into him was to run.

The living room was large enough to contain a thousand people and the floor to ceiling windows made the room more attractive. Maria directed her to one of the seats and she sat down when she was asked to. Maria had not forgotten to remind her that she should only do as she was told and she shouldn’t be faster than her shadows. “What should I offer you dear?” Esme asked facing Kate but Kate shook her head in response “there would be no need for that ma, I had my fill before coming here” Kate declined respectfully and Esme inly smiled in return.
