CHAPTER EIGHTY “Where's everyone?” Owen asked when he got home. He had not come home the day before, due to extra paperwork at the office. When he was through with the signings and all, he couldn't go home as it was late already, so he slept at the office and now, he was back, but he couldn't find Mia and some others. The whole place felt empty and it was weird. This was supposed to be the time when they would be making preparations, cleaning and making arrangements. He opened the kitchen in search of Mia, but she wasn't there, and neither were the other maids. He turned and was about to head to his room when he saw one of the maids coming in through the backdoor. “Good morning sir” she greeted “Good morning” Owen replied, placing his hand on his waist, he asked “Where are the others?” “Oh, Mia had taken them out for grocery shopping” she replied and Owen cocked a brow at her. “Grocery shopping?” He asked and the maid nodded her head. “Yeah” “Mia always went gr

CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE Maria had just gotten to the office, she got down from her car and walked into the glass doors. The workers greeted her throughout her journey to her personal office. She didn't even bother to reply to some of them, she just walked past them without even glancing back. The workers were already used to it, and some of them didn't even budge, but others were pretty concerned. She got to her personal office and there standing at the door, she could already see her assistant, holding some files in his hand and shivering at the side. She surmised that whatever he had to tell her was not good news, as that was how he behaved whenever he had bad news for her. Maria hissed and walked past him, leaving the door open behind her and he took that clue to walk in with her. She placed her hand bag on the swivel chair and walked to the windows, opening them wide enough. Her assistant stood on one side, monitoring her movements, but said nothing on it. When she was throug

CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO “I can't believe I totally forgot about it, oh it skipped my mind” Rina shouted over the phone. Owen had just called to inform her about his upcoming birthday and her joy knew no bounds, she had totally forgotten about it and she blamed it on the chain of recent activities that she had been working on. “Yeah me too, I totally forgot about it. Mia was the one who made me remember and she wants me to have a formal celebration. Heck, it's just in three days' time, and I haven't even printed cards nor written the list of guests, this is so gonna be a disaster” Owen said as he smacked himself on his forehead. He had wanted to make it a low key party, but Mia was highly against it. She said she wanted to make this one special for him, by being the event planner and the chef of the day. “There shouldn't be any reason to worry, since I am already aware, we'll plan it well and make sure it doesn't end up as a disaster. It's just a birthday party, there shouldn't be m

CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE Esme had not been able to relax ever since she got the text message from the unknown person. Although she had been warned not to call or text, she had tried contacting the person several times but the line didn't go through. She knew her son would be on the verge of giving up and this really troubled her. When he got abducted, he would have hoped that she would come to his rescue somehow, but after not seeing her for a couple of days, his hope would have reduced or died completely. She couldn't wait to keep her son in a safe zone, and then she would make Jake and his accomplices pay dearly for what they had done. Jake had told her that her son would be with her in no time, but she did know how long he was talking about. She couldn't stand by and do nothing,while waiting for them to return her son back to her, when it was very possible that they might not return him. Katherine walked into the sitting room and the only acknowledgement Esme gave her was a r

CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR The streets were bubbly and all nooks and crannies were illuminated. One would mistake it for a festival, but it was none other than Owen's birthday party. Mai had made sure that the whole city knew of the party. Since she couldn't really decorate the whole city in such a short time, (although she could, but she would end up wasting resources, and she wouldn't want to do that) she decided to pour out her best on the street, since it belonged to Owen in the first place. They had prepared varieties of meals, as they were expecting visitors from different parts of the world, although few had started arriving already. They had planned to start the celebration by 7:00pm, and they would party till 11:00pm. They had prepared as many as possible rooms for their guests that would love to stay the night and return home the next day. Owen had wanted to celebrate it low-key and quietly, but Mia was strongly against it. She had stood strongly on the point that he should

CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE Owen was startled when he heard the voice, the voice was unmistakably the voice of someone he was familiar with. He couldn't possibly forget that voice in this lifetime. He felt a cold chill went down his spine and his heart rate increased as memories began to flood in. Although it's been a few years, it still felt as if it all happened yesterday. He tried to regulate his heart beat, but all his efforts were futile as it only made him more nervous. “Owen” she called again and Owen turned to her slowly. He was less surprised to see a smile on her face, as she had always been a good one, although he knew she had changed due to some happenings, she had always been one to always smile. Owen wanted to smile back at her, but he couldn't find it in himself to do it. He felt uneasy. And instead of smiling, he just gave her a cocky grin. “Long time no see” Owen said, his voice shaky and she chuckled “It's all on you yuuno, I tried calling, many times, but

CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX Owen was exasperated, he had managed to convince Tyla to leave the party and wait for him outside, and right now, he was with Mia. She had noticed the commotion earlier and she had come to know what was really happening. Owen had told her that it was just a minor disturbance and he had assured her that he would take care of Tyla by himself, but what he needed right now was someone to help me look for Rina while he went to deal with Tyla who was waiting patiently outside. “Ok Mia, you'll just help me inform the security, do it cautiously, I do not want to cause unnecessary panic in the building. I'll go deal with Tyla, I'll be back in no time” Owen said and Mia nodded. “She had said she wanted to go take a pee and I am surprised because she wasn't supposed to stay this long, I don't think something is wrong because if it was, then she would have called either I or my Security guards, but she didn't so..” he shrugged “But just to be on the safe side,

CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN 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 person and it
