“Hello?” Derek said on the other end then Byron turned to Sucre. They had thought Sophia was the one calling them back but that bitch!She gave Derek the phone.“I can talk to them myself, Derek… It's fine.”Byron remained silent, not uttering a word as the call connected. He wasn't sure if Sophia had told Derek: he was the one calling her but still, he had to make sure.“Whatever… and why isn't the person saying anything?” Derek handed the phone back to Sophia who forced an awkward smile and said, “It might have disconnected or it's probably poor service.” She said out loud that Derek and Byron heard it.Then Byron was convinced she hadn't said anything to Derek just yet.“I'd just go call them.” She said to Derek. Though the line was still connected and Byron was able to hear what she was saying to Derek as she was yet to hang up.“Why step out… to call them, when…you can just… call them… here.” Derek said in-between kisses.Byron raised a brow as he realized Derek was kissing Sophi
Sucre heard their conversation and when Byron dropped the call, he said, “So… what now? I need my girl as much as you need yours.”“We have to take this one step at a time. After getting Sara, we get rest…she's going to explain the exact place where your girl is.” Byron explained.“Yeah… listen, I'm sorry, man. I had no idea Sara was pregnant.” Sucre apologized again. If only he was aware, he wouldn't have said anything to Sophia.Byron waved his hand, “It's cool. There's no point regretting. She's going to be with me in the next…” He looked at his watch, “10 minutes or less…. Sophia should be on her way by now.”Sucre smiled, “But come to think of it though… I had no idea you were doing it with the doctor… hahaha.” He laughed.Byron couldn't help but laugh, “Shut up, man…” He smiled recalling that moment. Never in his wildest dreams did he think their one time romance was going to lead to Sara being pregnant. Meanwhile, Derek looked over his window and watched Sophia right from whe
It took about a week for Sara to recover from her traumatic experience with Derek and his team. Throughout her medications, Byron didn't leave her side.He helped her with her drugs and whatever she needed. Though she was now okay, Byron still insisted she took some rest.“I'm okay, really. You don't have to worry.” She smiled as he caressed her hair.“Tell me where it hurts…” He smiled back at her as he scanned her body and noticed her bruises were healing fast, thanks to the ointment he got from a local heeler.When they left Green valley, he had drove himself, Sara and Sucre back to the warehouse where they currently live.It was a 6 hour drive from the city and it was an hidden place where neither of them would be caught. Byron placed his hands on her stomach and his lips curved into a smile. He had felt this way before. When Maggi was pregnant with Ava. But knowing his actual child was growing in the woman he loves most gave him this joy he couldn't hide.“Byron, you have to see
“I'm in position.” Sara said as she walked into the Emerald Hill park. She packed her hair into a ponytail, wore jean shorts, a black top and a black shade...This way, she wouldn't be noticed that easily. She gently sat close to a few people who were also around the pack before crossing her legs and her hands, looking straight at a particular building. She had a glass on, so no one knew exactly where her gaze was fixed. “Be careful.” Byron replied on the other end then the call ended. It was 1pm and he, Tbaj and the rest had been able to sneak into the particular office close to where the vault was kept. They were now in position, so was Sara after Byron explained what she was to do since she insisted she wasn't going to stay behind without helping them get what they wanted. Byron placed his bags on the table and scanned the room they were in. It was an abandoned office and it was off limits for the employees of the company. “Alright, this is it.” He said to Sucre, L
Sucre on the other hand was already taking a step back as Derek and Byron were now staring each other in the eye. Byron's gaze didn't leave Derek and so did Derek's gaze. Just then, Sucre pulled his gun from his pocket and pointed it behind Derek's head. Suddenly, the men who pointed their guns at Byron, felt something at the back of their heads. When the turned, they saw Tbaj and Lincoln pointing their guns at them. “Drop it!” Sucre barked at Derek's men who turned around to point their guns back at Lincoln and Tbaj who were also pointing theirs at them. It was now Aura For Aura! May this the best gun holder shoot. “I said, drop your guns or I blow your boss’ head off his neck!” Sucre barked again, his gun still pointed at Derek's head. Derek parted his mouth but words didn't come out. His gaze shifted from Byron who had an unfazed look, to Lincoln and Tbaj who were pointing at his men. But was pleased that his men were pointing back at them. “Put that down!” Lincoln
Outside the building, Derek's men surrounded the area. They brought out their weapons and alerted the security officers.They pressed their laptops and the doors all over the company were locked automatically. Most of them tried to open it to see if it was locked and fortunately, it was. The front door, the gate, and back door.They trooped in with their guns. And in less than minutes, the whole building was shut down. Then, they took the elevator and arrived at the room where Derek, Byron and the rest were.They all pointed their guns at the door; Prepared to shoot once the door is opened and Sucre or any of Byron's followers try to leave. “Don't hesitate to pull that trigger. It's Madam Beatrice's orders.”“Everybody get in position. They walk out, you know what to do.” The leader said to the ten men behind him before bringing a bomb out of his pocket.“All that security for cards and signed documents that's not even yours?” Lincoln asked Derek, scanning the cards and files in his
Hahaha! Sucre and the rest laughed at the frustrated look on Derek.“Alex, where are you and where's Becca bei….”Before Derek could even finish, Byron grabbed the phone and ended the call.“What did you do that for?! Get them back on the phone! You bastard!” How on earth did they get his daughter? This is outrageous!“You can talk to your daughter and Alex after we've left with the cards.” Lincoln added from where he stood.Derek smirked, “I know Sara. That doctor would never hurt my baby. She can't even hurt a fly.”Haha!Byron laughed, “Maybe, two months ago. But not Sara now. Not after the torture your team inflicted on her throughout the time she was captured.”He picked up the piece of paper he had been writing on and handed it over to Derek. “This is the list of everyone you've killed. Friends, fathers, assistants, bodyguards, sons and daughters… Do you think your daughter's life is worth any more than theirs?”As Derek scanned the list, Byron continued, “One of two things is g
As Sara walked out of the restaurant, she immediately placed her black shade back on and approached a particular corner.She dropped her 200 bucks on the table then the waiter from earlier picked and slid it into his pocket before walking away to serve other customers like nothing happened.Sara ran as fast as she could. She hid herself at a corner as she noticed Alex's men had seen her and were now tailing her.They pointed their guns in her direction and walked carefully to where she was hiding.She used her bag to cover her stomach, then she placed her hands over her mouth as they shot at her direction.Then it dawned on her that she had been caught. She lowered herself to take cover as she tiptoed to a dark corner to hide herself from them.She heard their footsteps then her heart started racing. if they got hold of her, they were definitely going to get rid of her.“We know you're around here, somewhere!” She heard their voices then she frowned with fear.Taking a deep breath, s
