Leonard groaned when he heard the news. It was Estelle who broke it to him. She couldn't keep on lying to him whenever she visited. He deserved to know what was happening and that was why she told him "I warned her not to dally with this guy. It was something that I could see coming. Didn't you know the man that was terrorizing the neighborhood when we were younger. That was his father. There was every high chance that he would turn out that way because children are perfect emulators." He turned around in search of Ava. "Where is Ava at? I hope she's not with Sophie?" "No, she's not. I'm just trying to let her lay low. She's at Silas' place. Although, I don't think we are still together anymore." Leonard stroked his few days old beard. His sister was the epitome of a self sabotaging queen. She lived for it. "You are the one at fault this time. That man worships the ground you walk on and doesn't ask me how. I see the way he looks at you but you're always thinking that it's the opp
Sophie landed softly at the airport, she was determined to make something out of her life with or without Emma's input. Emma was not yet found so she used this opportunity to run away. By the time she would be found, she would not have to confess anymore. After reading that her confession could earn her some time in jail she ran away. As soon as she got to the checkpoint, she tendered her passport and watched the officer open her back gently. It was termed safe so it went to the other tarmac. She tendered all the other documents and it became a long wait. As they placed the scanner on her forehead, she heard a beep. That made her jump in fright, for all she knew, she wasn't carrying anything that could have warranted it but right now, she was feeling weird.A lot of people on the line also shot her wicked stares which made her feel very ashamed. "Ma'am, please wait over there." She stood her ground, she wasn't going to move an inch, especially not after she had wasted too much time
Emma woke up in a strange room and jumped immediately she saw her arch nemesis sitting on a bench with his leg on a stool. She thought that she had been saved. "H-how did you...?" She stuttered, unable to form words. "You need not to worry, I am happy about your consciousness but I'll wait for a while before I decide what to do with you. Did you think that you could escape me? That's totally impossible. I escaped because they were too weak to know that I was just pulling their legs. I didn't have any gun like I promised but they didn't need to know that though." My heart thumped loudly as I thought of the damage that he must have caused those people. How did someone just determine to be wicked? Was he trying to prove a point or something? "I don't follow. You said that we were going cross country right? Why are we suddenly not doing that anymore?" Rufus shrugged nonchalantly with a small smile playing on his lips. "Well, my darling, we don't always get what we want right? So I thin
Sophie was stupefied when she saw her name printed and labeled a wanted criminal. This wasn't possible at all. She was being set up. "This is a set up. I can't believe that you fall for all of these? Who can't know that this is all a farce? How can I be a wanted criminal and be walking around? Does it even make any sense to you?" She replied and they stared at her morosely. She was feeling a bit agitated but that didn't stop the annoyance that coursed through her veins. "I can't seem to understand why you are all looking for allegations where there are none. Isn't it obvious that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me? If I was a criminal, my goodness I wouldn't be left to roam." She tried to explain but they kept staring at her. The remorse she felt for not abusing that guy suddenly vanished. He was more than deserving of it. The captain stared at her. There was no way that he would accept or allow her to leave without handing over to the proper authorities. "You can't leave
Estelle, along with Silas and the little girl Ava stepped into the hospital, each one including Ava buried in their thoughts regarding Emma who was lying unconscious in the intensive care unit where she had been for some time already. Ava couldn’t help but look around anxiously and with an expression of concern on her face, Silas could only wonder what was going on in her mind, she was too little to be going through any of what was happening, it was not normal or at all okay for any five year old to go through any of that and he wasn’t even glad that he had to be a part of it in any way. But there was not much he could do, the only thing he could do was what he was doing now, he then looked at Estelle, his expression hardened a bit, and even though he felt he had a lot to say, he decided not to say anything and just remained silent until he had met with the doctor who then led them to where they would see Emma. But that was all they could do, see her, they could not go in and talk
Ava, who had eaten as many snacks as she could with the amount given to her, continued playing at the reception for a little while longer, but quickly got bored and went back to where she had left Silas and Estelle. At this point she saw the man having a phone call and moved in closer, by the time she reached him he had ended the call."What is it? " Estelle asked Silas when she saw the worried look on his face, "What happened? " a part of her didn't believe it was anything that concerned hers but another part of her was more concerned that whatever it was it somehow had something to do with Leonard. "It's nothing, there is just something of importance that I need to take care of back at the office, I'll be back soon, I promise I won't stay long at all, the two of you can just wait for me together right here, do not go anywhere until I return, " Silas said hurriedly and then rushed out of the hospital when Estelle had answered him positively. As he rushed out of the hospital, diffe
Antonio exhaled lightly and sank back into his seat when Sophie had left. He couldn't stand her presence anymore and felt suffocated whenever he even stayed in the same room as her. He began to play with a pen on his desk as he continued to wait for the goods that he had bought. As he did so he also thought deeply and hard about what he would tell his people who were beginning to question him, he had put on a bold face in front of Sophie but all that he had said was not necessarily true, his mind was in a mess and all or most of his workers were now expecting money that he knew they would never receive, he didn't plan on giving any of them a single cent. So he had to fix things somehow, the only reason why he had agreed to their terms at that time was that he was in different need of help and was focusing on one thing at a time, but as of this moment, his only real plan was to sever whatever it was that tied him to anything incriminating and at the same time keel all of the possessi
Antonio opened his eyes and yawned. He slowly sat up in his bed and turned to the clock on his bed stand. ‘It isn’t even eight A.M yet. Where is all the noise coming from?’ his sleepy mind thought as he looked around his room, trying to find the source of the sound that had woken him up since it wasn’t his alarm.He was getting frustrated when he noticed his phone on the foot of his bed, buzzing with notifications.“What the hell is going on?” he yawned and stretched out on his bed. “Did I post something last night?” he scratched his head, trying to recall if he had posted a picture before sleeping. From the notification sounds, he knew it could only mean social media. A lot of people were reacting to his posts and probably tagging him, and that was why his phone was blowing up.He let out a sigh and got off his bed. “I’ll just let everyone calm down first. I don’t have the energy to sort this out. My social media manager should figure it out and let me know what’s going on,” he mut
