Sarah watched him in confusion awaiting his reply, but he merely stared at her with his continuous smirk."Are you by any chance referring to the school girls who were kidnapped not too long ago?" She asked."Yes I mean this is obvious enough, isn't it? The elections are approaching and rival parties have already begun their war on one another. This is just a preview of how dirty and selfish politicians can be in today's world." Will explained with an expression of seriousness on his face."Isn't your Father a politician or perhaps an aspirant?" Sarah asked, watching him closely."Tell me, what do you think of people who are involved in sex trafficking? Men or women who sell young men and women for money?" Will asked, studying her expression as he asked the question."Well, first of all, I think they are despicable human beings, who deserve a punishment worse than death," Sarah replied coldly."Wow, that is harsh. I mean how do they really make you feel? Do they make your skin crawl w

"Good morning Miss Sarah Brown," the butler in the Brown family House greeted her as she walked into the house. Her Father had invited her over for breakfast, and a discussion over some business deals."Hello Father," Sarah said, kissing his head. She took a seat at the left of the table, beside him."How was your night? he asked her and she smiled at him in response."It was splendid." She replied."Need I remind you how much I miss having you around the house? I have told you severally, you are always welcome back home you know? Since that good for nothing Johnson's character chose to suddenly disappear without a trace..."The maid interrupted him, by walking into the room and placing an empty china plate in front of him and Sarah, before picking up the warmers which contained food, and dished out one scoop of white rice onto his plate.Followed by the beef and chicken caserol that had been prepared."Guess someone ordered a hearty breakfast," Sarah said, eyeing him closely."Well,

Sarah waited at the usual spot where she and Williams usually had lunch at exactly two pm. She had been waiting for over thirty minutes, yet, he had not shown up."Hey Dad," she said into the phone."Have you spoken to him yet? How is lunch going?" Mr. Brown asked."Not yet, I have been here for over thirty minutes and he hasn't yet arrived. Have you... Dad, hold on please, I have a call coming in. I will ca you back shortly." Sarah said and cut the call.Sarah checked the number which had called her earlier and found that it belonged to James Johnson. Her face contorted into confusion as she stared at the phone, James had not once called her, since he left.Neither had she called him after receiving his letter about leaving. The phone rang again, startling her. The caller was still James. She was still married to him, and although, it complicated everything for her, he was still legally married to her.She lifted the phone to her ear slowly, unsure of what she was going to say to him

James continued to hold onto William's hand, while he glared into his eyes. Sarah got up in surprise, she had not expected James to show up there."Who is this guy? Let me go....let me go!" Williams yelled in anger, but James was adamant. He knew there was something wrong with Williams Smith, but he was yet to find out what it really was.His finger nails dug deep into his skin, and his grip tightened, as he twisted his wrist. William's eyes began to bulge and his face reddened from the pain he was feeling."Excruciating... Sarah...Sarah..." He called out to her for help.That was when Sarah realized that she had to stop James before he hurt him completely. "James...let go of him. James! Let go of him, you're hurting him!" She yelled at him, but James refused to listen. He continued to hold onto William's hand."James!" Sarah pushed him before he let Williams go."What is wrong with you?! Who gave you the right to come here? What are you even doing here?!" She yelled at him."He was

James waited outside the building, across the street from the restaurant where he had accosted Williams Smith. He watched Sarah walk out of the building along with Williams.He had a white cloth tied to his wrist where James had held him tightly. James watched carefully as he opened up the door for Sarah to get into her car, before he shut the door and waved her goodbye.As Sarah's car drove away, James returned his gaze to Williams. He was not really interested in Sarah's behavior towards him, he was more concerned about the man she thought considered to be honest and respectable.Williams pulled out his phone from his trouser pocket and lifted it to his ear. "I understand what I have to do." He said into the phone."Then call me as soon as it is done." His caller responded.James watched his expressions closely through the telescope he held in his hands. He saw Williams look around his environment suspiciously right before a car came to a stop in front of him."What is he up to now?

Sarah walked into her he roffice, and found that her mother and brother had long been waiting for her there. She was surprised to see them there, knowing quite well that nobody had called her to inform her of their arrival."My goodness Sarah, where have you been?" Her mother scolded her as soon as she walked into the office."I was out having lunch with Mr. Williams Smith," Sarah replied matter of factly. As soon as she said that, her mother's face brightened up and she sat up with interest."You should have said that the moment you walked in through the door..what did he say? And how did it go?" She asked Sarah with a look of keen interest."It went well. Although, James showed up.." Sarah replied coldly.Her mother's smile retreated and was quickly replaced by a straight look. Theodore's face twisted into a tight grimace."What does that fool what again? And what did he do there? I hope he did not ruin things for us?" Mrs Brown asked in fury."Well, he twisted Williams' wrist, almo

William's phone kept ringing consecutively over the sound of the loud music he had asked his driver to turn on as a result of the girl screaming in the trunk.James drove behind him at an insight-able pace. He knew there was always a way to catch up with Williams even when he got out of his sight.Meanwhile, Sarah had been calling Williams forever, but he didn't feel like it was the right time to pick up her call."Turn around here, and move to the next alleyway," Williams instructed his driver. He looked in the rearview mirror and caught sight of a police car in the distance."Slow your pace, and park here." He instructed his driver, as they approached a roadside printing press.As soon as they parked the car, he saw the police car slow down beside them. The officer peered out of his window and stared at William's driver.William could feel his heart thump in his chest. With everything that was going on, he knew that there was every reason to be afraid, even if it was for a second. H

James followed behind Sarah quietly waiting for her to reach her car. Sarah got into the car and waited for William's call.The message came in about five minutes later, while she was waiting in the car for him. It was a popular restaurant, and she instructed her driver to take her there. She got down and walked into the restaurant when they got to the location.James had tapped into her phone earlier that night while she was dressing up. He turned on her location and knew exactly where she was headed as soon as he saw the GPS run.The Pirates restaurant was a popular eatery that everyone knew of. Yet, he knew that it was owned by one of the Smith family business associates."Why choose one that belonged to a family friend?" James asked himself.Williams or sat in the restaurant waiting for Sarah. The minute he saw her walk in, a smile spread across his lips.She looked beautiful and he wished he did not have to hand her over to Peter Causey, and could keep her for himself. She was sm

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
