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
He gets In his car and makes his way to one of his villas at the edge of the city. No one knew he owned it, not even his lawyer. It was his hideout for whenever he wanted to be alone. He got to the villa and went straight up to his room. The entire villa was maintained by one woman, and she did a great job of keeping the house clean. Arriving at his room, Antonio tried to call his lawyer, trying to assess the damage, but his line had been barred.“What the hell? Barred? But it was functioning just a while ago,” he muttered angrily and tried another line but the same result. Out of anger, he flung the phone across the room, and it fell, breaking upon impact.“Fuck!” he frowned and paced about his room for a while, and his maid quickly rushed into the room, hearing the sound of something breaking.“Sir Antonio, are you alright?” the matured lady, Rosa, asked as she rushed in.“Yeah, yeah,” Antonio sighed and looked at his damaged phone.“You know what? Can you do me a favor and get
In the city’s penitentiary, Ava and Estelle sat on a bench, with a thick glass in front of them, waiting for Leonard, and soon enough, he came, dressed in his orange coverall.“Daddy!” Ava exclaimed immediately she saw him.“Hey Pumpkin, how are you?” Leonard smiled as he sat down and turned on the mic on his side. “I’m not fine Daddy,” the little girl said and tears began rolling down her face.“I hate it out here without you. I want you to come back home daddy, I miss you,” she cried.Leonard felt a pain in his heart at the sight of his crying five year old daughter, and tears found their way down his cheeks.“Don’t worry Pumpkin, I’ll be home with you soon, sooner than you expect,” he said, trying to cheer her up, but it was not working.“You say that every time Daddy,” Ava sobbed. “Are you going to be here forever?” “No Pumpkin, don’t think that way,” Leonard quickly said. “I promise, I promise I’ll be home soon, and I mean it this time,” he said with a smile. “Cross your heart
In the boardroomThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with anticipation. Silas, a commanding presence with an air of authority, stood at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the faces of the gathered board members.“Thank you all for coming,” Silas began, his voice steady and firm. “Today, we address the matter of the DNA test results.”He looked over at the corner where the police officers he was here with today stood. And with a flicker of his wrist, one police officer came forward, handing him over a brown envelope.Silas took the brown envelope, bringing out the documents within, lifting it up in the air so everyone present in the boardroom could see so there'd be no chances of anyone accusing him that he'd slip anything in.“May a neutral person come forward?” Silas announced and a junior officer appeared before him from the crowd. He hands the documents over to him. “Distribute them.” With that the junior officer nodded, beginning from the first person, he went one aft
