Derek could barely recognize Joseph Jonathan, his dad’s brother, the man had shaved off all of his hair and was now entirely bald, but Derek had been with Jonathan since he was kid so there was no way he wouldn’t recognize him. Jonathan smiled, shifting his gaze to the woman that stood next to Derek. He was wearing a white T shirt and a blue Jean with brown boots, looking like a cowboy. The lady looked familiar, like he had seen her somewhere before but he couldn’t place it. Elena smiled when she saw how surprised Derek was to see his uncle, this was the special guest she had told him about and today was the day she’d reveal all the secrets to Derek. “Good to see you again, Derek. It’s been a long while,” Jonathan walked towards the dinning and pulled one of the chairs, he sat on it without waiting for any instructions. Today, he would have to put all of his trust on Derek. The butler left them and returned to his duties. “I never knew you were the special guest mum talked about,
Amelia sat on the bed, after some few minutes she stood up and started pacing the large room; she was restless, but there was no way for her to eavesdrop, the glass rovers that led to the veranda would sell her out if one of them mistakenly looked back. The rovers were so wide that there were no walls to hide behind, what could they be keeping from her, Amelia thought. She went back and sat on the bed, telling herself that she’d ask Derek when he came up. Many things had happened in one day and they were all happening so fast, from disobeying her mother to Derek changing his mind about the abortion and now Derek and his mum were having a secret meeting. Amelia knew that Derek and Sam had a fight over inheritance ongoing but she had no idea how she was part of the plan and why Derek had told her to keep the baby and she was only going to find out when the baby was born. However, this secret meeting with his mother; Derek was going to tell about it tonight, no matter what. …..“So
Derek was certain of what he heard, he stared at Jonathan like someone who just heard a joke. He knew something was fishy since Jonathan came in, but he never expected that it would be of this magnitude. “Is this all a joke or what?” Derek asked, he had a half smile and a half serious expression. Jonathan glanced at Elena, he knew this wouldn’t be an easy task; naturally he didn’t expect Derek to accept this request instantly, it was a very surprising thing, no one would expect Jonathan of all people to seek for Ethan’s inheritance, especially when he’s about to die. It was a big blow to the Cole’s family if Ethan were to find out. “It isn’t a joke, Derek. Jonathan has the connections and resources to make our plan work; all he’s asking for his a compensation in return,” Elena tried to clear the tensed air, but Derek wasn’t having any of it, “I’ve known you for decades uncle Jonathan, if you wanted a part of my fathers wealth or properties, why didn’t you just ask him directly?”
Charity's heart felt like it hit the body of her chest, someone was trying to kidnap her in blood day light? Was it because of the type of car she now drives? Was this the type of vulnerability the rich had? Charity thought as she slowly crawled into the vehicle, putting her hands in the air. She moved into the passenger’s side while the burglar hopped into the driver’s seat. They had been waiting for her, Charity thought, because the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence. “Just face the other way and place your hands on the door, if you do everything I tell you, Miss Charity, I promise not to hurt you, but if you try to play smart,” Charity heard the back doors opening and it seemed like two other burglars entered the vehicle. “They’d blow your fucking brains all over your car,” the man concluded, then Charity felt the metallic object leaving her waist, but she dared not move. She was trembling so badly, and beads of sweat had gathered around her forehead, who could possibl
“Wait, what does Sam have to do with this?” Charity was confused, as she kept blinking her eyes severally because of the bright light. She had been thinking about Sam all day and now she was kidnapped and the man who seemed to be the kidnapper was referring to Sam. The chuckle was light and sarcastic, and it echoed around the small room. Charity anticipated the words that would come out of his mouth, anything at all; she really wanted to know exactly how Sam was connected to this kidnapping. “You’ll see, be patient.” The man stood up and started walking towards where Charity couldn’t see because of the light. “Tell me how Sam is connected to this!!” Charity yelled, breathing heavily.Her heart was beating abnormally, what was really going on? The fact that she had no details as to what was going on was making her feel more traumatized. Charity started giving sobbing sounds as she heard the creaking of a door being shut close, the light still flashing on her eyes. Then, in an ins
Sam dropped the phone on his desk as if he didn’t need the use of it anymore, his heart was beating faster than normal and he didn’t know exactly why. Maybe because he was a good person or because of the pity he had developed for Charity after he rejected her love. But why would Amelia kidnap Charity just to see him, or wasn’t it Amelia? Sam thought, breathing heavily as he brooded about all what just happened within the last five minutes. After some few minutes, he found himself lost in thoughts again and didn’t know when Victoria Blunt, his new secretary, came into his office. “Mr. Sam, there’s someone here to see you.” Victoria announced, holding her hands together in front of her like an innocent child. She was wearing the usual secretary dress, a white blouse and a tight short skirt. Her boobs was bigger making some of her buttons struggle to hold the blouse together, and she had a nice round ass. Victoria Blunt was everything that could make Sam do something he wouldn’t want
“The same number is calling again,” Sam's eyes widened as he stared at his phone screen. Emily was too shocked to speak, she froze; gazing at Sam, stunned at what he just said.Sam slowly picked up the call, and placed it on speaker; so Emily would be able to hear the conversations between him and the kidnapper. “Hello, Mr. Sam, I’ve something to tell you. You might want to take drastic measures in protecting your fiancée, Emily Rosenberg, but it doesn’t mean if we wanted her, we wouldn’t get her. It’s just a word of advice not a threat,” The caller hung up immediately after speaking without giving Sam a chance to say anything. Sam didn’t know how to react, it was as if the guy read his mind totally; how could this be? A moment ago, it was Emily who was speechless but now, it was his turn. His heartbeat rose dramatically, he was so confused and shocked at the same time. And worst of all, he was afraid. “How did he know my name?” Those were the first words that came out from a wo
At Sam’s Villa, (A few minutes before 9pm.)Emily paced their large bedroom back and forth, she hadn’t removed the dress she wore to Sam’s office that morning; she still had it on even with the heels. She was so restless and dangerous thoughts kept running around inside her head. What if Sam didn’t come back? What if this was really a trap like she had thought? Where does that leave her? If Sam died, Derek would surely inherit all of his properties and even Ethan’s corporation, she would be back to square one because she currently had no job. Apart from that fact, Emily wasn’t ready to lose the lovely relationship she was building with Sam, it was really difficult to find a man of Sam’s caliber to love you so genuinely as he was doing to her and just the thought of that was making her love for him increase every single day. Emily couldn’t hold back herself anymore, she walked out of the room and hurried down the stairs. ….In less than two minutes, Emily was on the road in one of
