Sarah turned in her bed, her head hurt really badly and she was not sure what had happened to her after she passed out in the car.

"James..." She sat up quickly and looked around her surroundings. She found that she was sitting in her bed and in her apartment.

The curtains had been drawn slightly, and the sun was lightly streaming into the room. Her head continued to throb as she placed her hand on it.

There was a plaster there, at the back of her head. Had she been injured? She asked herself.

Her phone lay on the bedside table plugged into its charger.

She unplugged it and picked it up, it was off. She turned it on and found that she had several missed calls, from Williams.

"Williams..." She thought. She had seen him get punched in the face after she had become so drowsy she couldn't even walk.

She gasped as she thought that perhaps something may have happened to him.

As she dialed his number to call him and find out how he was doing, the door pushed open, and James walked into the r

But it also made him curious at the same time. Who was this James Johnson Character? And how did he manage to outsmart over ten guards in Peter Causey's house? He picked up his phone as he stared at Sarah's car driving off. A strict, bass voice came over the phone."Yes Boss." The voice said to him."I need you to carry out an indepth background search on a certain itch for me. A certain James Johnson person." He said to the man."James Johnson? Like the one associated to the Brown family? Sir, I already have Intel on him." The man replied.William's brows rose in inquisition. How was that possible?"How is that?And why is that?"

She had not seen anyone following behind her when she walked into the building."Williams!" She exclaimed in shock. He stood by her office doorway with a smile plastered to his face."Come in." She said to him as she took her seat. He sauntered into the office, and sat in the chair across from her. She was dressed in a purple duchess short dress, that hung in folds at band of the dress which was cinched at her waist.Williams slowed his gaze travel down the visible length of the dress."You look beautiful."

    You have few days left to return." Mr. Johnson said to James over the phone."I am aware of that." Came James'slow response."Why do you sound so low? You should be glad, James. That family would always be an ungrateful lot. They would never appreciate your presence in their lives." Mr. Johnson replied."I don't know about that. Things are seemingly better than before and I am not in a haste to leave just yet. Just few more days and I'll be back. Give me two days more." James tried to negotiate."Two days, James? The company is having difficulties and... " A pause rested over the line, as Mister Gregory Johnson held back his words.He knew that it was not yet time to tell James about it. Although he knew that James was stubborn and could do anything without proper reasoning. He knew it was time for a drastic move to be taken."James, you have two more days, and after that, you need to return. You will eventually have to cease the hide and seek game you are playing with everyone." His

    Williams walked into the Brown family House at the expected hour of six pM, just as had been planned by his father. They had planned to discuss the business they had intended to have with the Brown Family.Sarah walked in, wearing a sullen expression on her face. Williams was not surprised at what was happening. He had set the pace running and was glad to see that everything had played out just as he had planned it."It is lovely to meet you in person, Miss Sarah Brown." Mr. Smith said to her. Everyone else was also present at the table. Including Theodore and his mother.Mr. Smith looked around the room and did not see James. He had been looking forward to meeting him in person. He had no idea what Williams had already set in motion."I don't see your son in-law anywhere. Perhaps he would join us later?" He asked Mr. Brown.Mr. Brown, who, like the rest of the family had been clueless about what happened between Sarah and James, turned to Sarah with an equally inquisitive gaze.Sarah

    James followed behind Sarah as she walked outside the Brown mansion."Sarah! Sarah, wait!" He yelled out to her, but she was already stampeding towards her car."What?! What do you want from me?" She asked him. "Youa re lucky to have gotten off with just a reconsideration of this horrible union. And you are darn lucky I did not tell the whole family what you are guilty of. I trusted you, James!" She yelled out.James paused, and rubbed his hand over his lips. This was getting out of hand, and she was getting him all wrong."You are getting this all wrong Sarah, all wrong." He said to her."Am I ? Now, tell me, how did you know how to find me every single time I got kidnapped. How?! Every single time, James! How!" She yelled."I followed you! I followed you darn it! I followed you every single time! Every where you went, I went with you. You really think I would let you elave the house without so much as an escort or bodyguard?" He said to her in a rough voice."The first time you told

    Sarah walked in on James' bag on the bed and his clothes strewn across the bed. She had not expected to come home to his presence.James walked out of the extra bedroom dressed in a t-shirt and a simple jogger. Sarah watched quietly as he packed his things into a bag."He should have left already." She thought to herself.Without saying a word to her, James picked up his and walked out of the apartment. The sound of the door shutting was what pulled her out of her reverie.She turned to watch his retreating back, and wondered whether or not he was telling the truth. Then she shook the thought away. Williams had evidence, strong evidence. Yet, James wanted her to simply believe him based on his words, when she had been unconscious afterwards.Meanwhile, James threw his bag into the red Esquire jeep parked outside the hotel and roared the car to live. He drove the car to a hidden spot behind the trees and parked there.A blue crush metallic Corolla hatchback. He stepped out of the jeep

    Williams pulled the door shut when he saw Sarah leaving her Company building. He made it look as though he had just arrived. Meanwhile, he had been waiting for her at the car park.He approached the steps where she was just coming out of the building."Hey! Let me help you out." Williams said, taking her bag from her."Thank you. Wait, were you coming to see me?" She asked him with a smile."Actually, I was just driving by. I had a meeting with a client some moments ago at the shopping mall not far from here. And so, I decided to stop by and say hi when I saw you walking down." Williams replied.Sarah smiled casually. His hair and movements reminded her of the first time they had met. That alone brought back the thought of her Mr. Knight in shining armor."I see. Well, how thoughtful of you really. I was just on my way to the mall itself. I want to work a survey personally for my staff's wardrobe allowance." She replied.Williams eyed her closely. She was indeed a beautiful woman, and

    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
