He walked into the bedroom.Annabelle was not in there. He could see a new cloth spread on the bed.A noise coming in from the shower prompted him that Annabelle was in the bathroom.He took a glance at the wall clock.There was just an hour left to party.Hea heaved a sigh and sat on the bed, his phone in his hands.He placed a call and spoke with the person for over three minutes.Immediately, he ended the call, and Reuben dropped the call, Annabelle walked in with a towel wrapped around her body."

THE KIDNAP II" How do you mean they will?" Annabelle asked." I know they will because sooner or later, they will begin to suffer." Reuben replied"And what was it about the kidnapping you said about?". Annabelles asked again.She seemed more concerned about what they were discussing than what lay ahead of them.Reuben realized Annabelle wanted to know about everything that was going on with the Anderson family; he was willing to tell her everything she really needed to know .But not the part about their revenge.He knew, of course, that Annabelle was a very understanding and soft woman. Therefore, if she heard about the revenge, she would plead with them to forgo it so that there would be peace.But Reuben was keen on getting his revenge, just like his grandfather.He heaved a sigh when Annabelle asked the question and narrated to her." Well, the stalking started when you helped me get the job as a delivery captain in the company.I was asked to deliver an item to address, and

I NEVER KNEW YOUReuben continued his speech." The manager apologized grossly and said we should wait for the police to arrive so we could solve the situation and then arrest the culprits, including the one who made the order.The police came around and took the delivery address and the na.e of the person who ordered the parcel.On getting the information, they communicated with their office and found out that the address was the hub of one of the notorious criminals in the city.The police had tried arresting him so many times, but it had been very hard.He told me point blank that I was very lucky to have survived out of the place. And even without the bruises, it was a miracle on its own.They explained that they would be investigating the case and that they would give me protection for some time, just in case the group comes back for me.The manager apologized once again and gave me the day and the next off from work.That was when I realized that the manager knew nothing abo

A LOVE FOR LIFEMonday MorningAnnabelle opened her eyes and scanned around the room. She stretched lazily on the bed and looked around.She looked beside her, Reuben was not there, glancing at the wall clock. It was already a few minutes to 8 am.She stretched lazily and sat up on the bed.The sound of running water coming from the bathroom prompted her that reuben was in there.She sat leaned against the wall and heaved a sigh with a sleepy eye.She was tired from the previous day, and because of that, she had slept longer than usual.The previous evening had been a happy and tiring one. She really had fun with Reuben and his family, regardless of the fact that she was new to the family. She felt at home, and everyone accepted her with joy.Now, all that seemed like a dream, to her, had now turned into a reality.

You literally look like a new university student reporting to school for the first time," Annabelle said amidst.Reuben joined her in the laugh.He faced the mirror and looked at himself in it, and realized Annabelle was right.However, he was cool with the way he was looking.
