Sarah was surprised to hear that Viola had already finalized things with the event center when she was not even aware of it."Oh! I see. Then there wa really no need to discuss it with us, now was there?" She joked. Viola took the biting comment personal and retorted quickly."We just thought to keep everyone updated. We were equally surprised to not have received information about the said event center outside town. I guess we have all been event center hunting then." "That is fine. We can all agree to disagree, to agree again that this is the best option for us all. Anyway, what is left on the agenda should be run by Viola in my absence. Let us not have diverse opinions.""There is little time for diversities to set in when the event is already approaching at a fast pace." Mr. Rizzo inputed.Sarah nodded her head dutifully. It was not really going to be an issue for her. She was also partially being offensive because of hormones."I'm sorry If I was out of line, my nerves are all o

Sarah woke up to the sound of fhe machine whirring beside her. The nurse was running a scanner over her arm. The nurse smiled at her."How are you feeling today, Miss Brown?" She asked her with a smile."I feel weak. What happened to me?" Sarah asked the pretty nurse."You digested a harmful substances that could have harmed you and your baby." The nurse replied.Sarah's eyes widened "What? How's my baby?" She asked the nurse."The baby is fine, Ma'am. Do not worry. Your husband brought you here at the right time. We were able to get the poison out before it did any damages to your baby." Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her belly lightly."Where is my husband?" Sarah asked her. The nurse looked up at her charts and then looked out the open curtain."He was right outside when I got in here, but I think he has left. Is there anything you need me ti get for you, Miss Brown?" She asked her."No, not at all. I would simply like to see my husband. Thank you." She replied.James

Mrs Brown walked into the hospital room and pulled Sarah into a hug."Are you okay? How's the baby?" She asked her, looking extremely concerned."The baby is fine, mum." Sarah replied. Mr. Brown was right behind her.She pulled a seat. "Who could have done this to you? I mean, that is a very outrageous thing to do! Poison?? But why?"Sarah eyed her mother closely. She did not know what to make of her current attitude towards the situation. Was it possible she was pretending?"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mrs Brown asked Sarah. She caught the way Sarah watched her."Nothing mother, i was just wondering, you know." Sarah replied. "What were you wondering, Sarah?" She asked her."How come you came to my house with the cupcake guy and then I end up in the hospital." Sarah said."You went to see Sarah? I thought you said you were at the nursing home?" Mr. Brown asked her.Mrs Brown became nervous."Y-y-yes, I was at the nursing home before I went to see Sarah. But my goodnes

James walked into the Company building. Opening his office door, he was surprised to find his grandfather seated there."What is going on?" He asked his grand father. Mr. Johnson gave him a stern appraisal before venturing to give him an answer."What does it look like? For weeks I have been coming in to checkout the progress you have made with our pending projects so far. But I am surprised to hear that you have been busy with other businesses, James." "Those other businesses are my family and the US Military. A promotion you are very well aware of." James replied his grand father."This same family you are talking about is the same one that treated you like crap for years! The same one I saved many times over and over. You would not have been able to help them if it were not for the revenues which came from this very company. Now, you think they deserve your attention and care??""I don't hold grudges grand father. I love my wife and I fought for her like any good husband would." J

James phone began to ring and he pressed it to his ear as he walked out of the office. "Yes General." "We found the car which almost ran you over the other day. Perhaps you could come over to the base and check it out." The General said over the phone."Yes Sir, I'll be right there." James replied. In a matter of thirty minutes, he was at the military base. Striding into the General's office, he found the Captain seated there with him."The man of the hour finally bothered to show up. I'll call the coast guard in." The Captain said and walked out of the office. James took the seat he had left vacant."I'm sorry, I ran into a bit of traffic on my way here. How did you manage to find the car? What about the driver, Sir?" James asked the General."This is not the way I thought the investigation would go, but, we ended up seeking eye witnesses. The CCTV on the street was damaged. We tried hacking into the satellite system to get a view of what happened but we didn't have much luck in th

James returned to the hospital to pick Sarah up, so he could take her back home. Mr. Brown was still with her but Mrs Brown had stepped outside." James." Mr. Brown said and shook his hand.James looked around the room in search of Mrs Brown. He knew that if Mr. Brown was there, then she would be there as well."How are you feeling now?" He asked Sarah finally. She nodded at him weakly."I need to rest a bit." She replied."That's fine, you can do that when we get back home.""I'm safe here, James. As much as I don't want to be here, I feel too weak to go back home today. The doctors will assign a nurse and you can station two guards outside or something.""Sure, I'll do that. It's fine. But I'll be back to spend the night with you so that the nurse can take a break." James said and touched her hand.The door opened again and Mrs Brown walked back inside the room. James turned to her with a glare on his face, and Sarah immediately gripped his hand tightly.He looked at her and she ple

"Dad, I don't think that is right. Mum has the right to know about the decisions you make with her family's properties, okay? Please." Sarah said to him.Mr. Brown turned to look at Mrs Brown who was now rocking back and forth on the couch at the end of the room next to the door."I'll call Jasmine now. But do not listen to Williams or believe a word he says." As soon as Mr. Brown left, Sarah watched her mother's silence for a while before turning around to face the window.Mrs Brown stared into space completely shocked at how things had turned out.As Mr. Brown stepped out to make the call, another call entered his phone. It was Mr. Curtly."What is going on?? You asked your staff not to attend to me or let me into the bank. Why?" Mr. Brown asked him."I only did that because suspicions have arisen, Mr. Brown. We are on the verge of being caught and don't forget we are dealing with Causey here. We can't take any risks." Mr. Curtly said to him."I received an interesting call that mor

James handed her the cupcake to eat, and she politely declined them."I'm on a no sugar diet. Thank you." James smiled at her and put the tray of cupcakes down ."You really serious about this? A no sugar diet?" He asked her with a smile on his face."Yeah, I decided to do a no sugar diet. It helps cleanse my system towards the end of the month." She said to him. James nodded and put his phone on the table."So, I heard your father is set for the charity event. Is he trying to get back in society or what is the aim of this charity event?" James asked her.Viola gave him q suspiscious side glance and turned back to the drink he had kept on the tray. "I'll take this." She said and drank a little of the juice."Sure, take as much as you please." He said to her. "My father wants to build a charity home for children with autism and special problems. He is trying to get back in society, and he feels like the Inauguration event center will create just the right amount of publicity for his c

James went to his car and pulled out his box of rifles and set them on his lap."What are you doing?" The General asked him. James continued to rack through his weapons, pulling out a knife, a gun and a couple of other things."Where's the Captain?" James asked him. Suddenly realizing. "What? I don't know. Wasn't he inside the hall?" The General replied.James cocked his gun and handed it to the General. " He wasn't." James replied. His eyes remained pinned across the street.The charity event was probably still goin on."Listen. I have a strong feeling he is a part of this. When you find him, put a bullet in his shoulder for me. Some officers are back at the barracks. Stefan is one of them.“"The Lieutenant? You made a lieutenant stay back, James?" The General asles looking at him surprise."That is the least of our worries. Call him, call the cops too. Get men on the roofs. These bastards are amateurs anyway." He referred to the guards."What do you mean?" The General asked." They

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife? She is supposed to be seated there. She was, but, she is no longer there." James replied."I haven't seen her. But I will ask the other officials if you want." The woman offered."Please do." James replied, but that was not enough. He still felt a strange feeling beneath his chest. He knew something wasn't right.Suddenly, his phone be

The doorbell dinged, drawing the attention of the maid. She unlocked the door and took the uniform from the drycleaner.James was upstairs getting changed, while Sarah sat at her dressing table putting on her make up. His designed uniform had arrived, and he took it from the maid at the door.He turned to Sarah as soon as he was done putting on his clothes. They had not spoken since their last argument.Sarah noticed his struggle with a button. Everything accused her of what she was about to do. The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile. He just stared, his eyes on hersnwere apologetic. And just like that, they both silently agreed that it was cool.He pressed his lips to hers, and kissed her. "I love you." He murmured against h

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??" James asked, looking at her in amazement."This is not about where I get my ideas from. It is if those ideas are true or not. James, I need this charity event. It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then? And then what, Sarah? What next?" James asked her."What do you mean by that? It is all I really need!" She replied angrily."You are not going for that event. And if I have to lock yo

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems. Sort out the security issues before anymore problems ensue." The General murmured."Yes General." James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures. How else can one explain the idea of class, luxury and a gracious ambience if not this office?" The Editorial representative of Forbes whom she had met at the rehearsal for the Charity event complimented her."Thank you so much, Miss Brianne." Sarah smiled."I must say that

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce." Mrs Brown said in a snide manner.Without waiting for a response, she got up and walked out of the restaurant. Sarah woke up that morning to find James gone. It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked! I told you this would be a huge opportunity turn around for you." Viola said to Sarah when they met each other later that day."I couldn't agree more. Just one connect. I can't believe I haven't even done the interview yet and six people have already messaged me to handle their event security and organization.""In no time I would have

"Yes ma'am." The guard replied."Sarah! Oh my goodness, I did not believe you would actually show up!" Viola squealed as soon as she saw Sarah walk into the hall."I love your dress. It is exquisite." Sarah complimented her, before kissing the air beside her cheeks."I can't believe he allowed you to come out at this hour. Are you good? Are you sure?" Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne. Brianne is one of the formal Editorial representatives for Forbes magazine. She had a lot of business contacts and event opportunities that could fly your brand in one second.""Wow, it is an

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted. "Then again I suppose you would not have called me here if you didn't trust me to listen to you first.""I just want their reign of terror to end! First it was my wife and now, me! We are all trapped in this circle of use! We are indebted to that man and he ahs made us his slaves!" The man cried."Let me guess, Causey? Peter Causey?" James asked him."Peter Causey and someone else. I don't know his name, but I know he has a daughter, and he even hired this popular man who ran the great Chen heist." The man responded.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
