Sarah quickly requested for a bottle of water so she could splash it on Joanna. The moment Joanna came to, she instantly began crying because of the situation they had found themselves in. Mr. and Mrs. Alfredo came into the office and saw Joanna in that state. They quickly helped her up and took her into Damien's office so they could have some time on their own. In a matter of minutes, Joanna was in a messy state.She had not thought something like this would happen and so soon. She kept asking what they were going to do now. Mr Alfredo was making calls to everyone that he knew could help, which also included the police. They needed everyone to help find the CEO of the company. Mrs Alfredo was vested with trying to calm Joanna down, and so did Sarah. After what felt like an hour, Joanna spoke. “I need to call my father,” she said and immediately began searching for her phone. None of them stopped her because they needed everyone. Mr Alfredo did not know who might do this. One person

That action was not something he planned to do. Damien carried it out without thinking of the next step. The moment he pulled the trigger at Mr Blue, he rushed off the chair, heading for nowhere in particular. The warehouse was not completely lit, so he could not see every part of the warehouse except from where he was sitting. He rushed over to the only pillar he saw and then hid behind it. He knew he could not be completely invisible to them, but he had to be sharp in his dealings. He was not going to sign off on everything that his father had worked for to someone who did not know how tough it was to build an empire such as the Alfredo company. Damien peeped out from the pillar, so he could see what was happening. To his surprise, none of them were moving to even come to him. It felt like they did not mind that he was about to leave their crutches. He knew he could not be happy just yet. He dabbed his body, trying to figure out where his phone was. It then occurred to him that hi

No one expected the police to be on them that quickly. Joanna's father was called, as she wanted to get Damien rescued as soon as possible. She was frantic. Ever since she saw that video, it felt like her entire world was spinning. No one had called her to threaten and demand for one thing or the other. She had a guess at which the kidnapper would want to request for, but they were going to find their way around it if it came to it. Unfortunately, no one called. After spending only a few minutes, she knew she had to call her father. He was the one with the resources, and he could get anywhere at any time because he was the president of the country. This kind of things would not be hard for him, most, especially because he had people in every part of the country, especially this city. It only took the special defense team to track those who kidnapped Damien. It wasn't so easy because Damien's phone was in the car, which would have made things easier, but thanks to a particular phone

The doctor nodded. “He is unconscious, but he is responding to treatment,” the doctor replied to Joanna. It was a relief to everyone to hear that news. No one wanted to lose Damien for any reason, especially when it came to the situation with the business. Everyone was aware of the threat that came with him taking on the position of the CEO and they understood that situations like this were going to arise. However, they thought they would be able to handle it if it came to that, but they did not see this attack coming. It will be a great loss to them if Damian died. Joanna surely would not be able to handle his death if it had come to that. They all sighed with relief. “Can we see him?” Joanna asked quickly. “Not right now. The nurses are currently carrying out some final touches,” the doctor said, and they all nodded. Eliza hugged Joanna, who had tears rolling down her eyes. She was relieved to hear that Damien was okay. They stayed in the hospital for some time as they waited fo

She was not just fitted on him but they were having an intimate moment in the office with the door half open.The flower and the letter he had on him fell to the floor. Tears rolled down his eyes. It was weak of him to cry, he knew that. His ego kept telling him not to shed tears but his heart felt like it was being squeezed.That was his wife in their having sex with another man. Intimate actions like that were meant for husband and wife, for both of them.For six months, they had not gotten intimate and they had no children either.

Damien felt his throat turn dry after Rebecca ended the call on him. He stared at the screen for a minute before it dawned on him that his wife had suddenly changed and did not care about him in any way. At least not anymore.He placed his phone in his pocket as he slowly found his way to the kitchen. It took a minute to get there. Opening the fridge, he got out a bottle of water and grabbed a cup. He uncapped it and turned it over to pour the content into the glass. “And who said you could drink our bottle of water?” Justin, Rebecca’s younger brother said“I’m thirsty” he said, not wanting to argue with them“You are thirsty for water and not for wealth” The mother appeared next“I just need water mum” Damien said“Oh, you shut up, fool.

Do you look as miserable as you right now?” she snapped at him“I’ll place it back” he forced a smileHe spun around cocking the bottle. Justin snatch
