“RAD? Is that you?” Herveaux freaked out. "Brandon, are you pulling some nasty tricks? Who the hell are you?” he exclaimed.“I thought you were the smart one?”“I will go straight to the point; there's no need to waste precious time, Herveaux; it’s RAD,” the caller responded. Herveaux laughed out loud. “I’m impressed, or should I say honored?” Herveaux asked. “You should be honored; everyone’s looking for RAD,” the caller responded.“Enough playing around; I have Olvido, and I need something in exchange for him,” the caller responded. “Really? You know what? You sound like some amateur kidnapper or something; you should get a life and stop bugging me; if you really are RAD, then show up; we’ve got business,” Herveaux responded.“His life is in your hands; I need you to come save him yourself; that’s all. The location would be sent to your mail; come alone,” he ended the call, “This is crazy, no ransom?" "No, please, no valid threats. Just inviting me over to some location? So
"I know you have her, Brandon; I need not guess a thing," Fdelin responded. "Don’t get too comfortable with me, Fidelin," Brandon uttered sternly. He moved closer to Fidelin and passed him a cup of wine. "I am not interested," Fidelin retorted. "Bring me Fredrick, and I'll give you your sister," Brandon responded. "How on earth do you think I can do that? Fredrick is no kid I can lure here or drag in here just like that, if anything happens to Vanesssa, I will kill you myself!" Fidelin threatened. "I don’t care how you do it, Fidelin; you are my key to finding Fredrick, and I urge that you do that the earlier the better!" Brandon smutted. He jacked Fidellin up from his seat and threw him in. Brandon’s phone rang immediately, and he had to let go of Fiddelin. He looked at the phone’s screen and turned it off. "Can I at least see her?" Fidelin asked. "No, I need something on Fredrick, anything, at least," Brandon responded. "All I know was that after striking a deal wi
AT THE RESORT.“Who was that on the phone?” Madrigal asked Esmeralda softly. He grabbed a bottle of water for himself. ”Just work, don’t need to bug yourself, go back to bed; I need to be at a place tonight,” Esmeralda responded. “I am coming with you Esmeralda,” Madrigal objected. “You haven’t healed, I don’t want you stressed out. Don’t worry, I will be fine and be back in a jiffy,”“Fine, just play it safe; can I get a cellphone or something, I need to speak to a few people, and I can't figure out where mine is,” Madrigal requested. “Sure,” Esmeralda responded. She changed from her nightgown to a casual dress. “I am not sure if this is good enough,” Esmeralda handed a cellphone to Madrigal. “I used it for a while, I would get you a new one when I return,” she smiled. Madrigal hugged her, and she left in a hurry. “What are you up to this time, Esmeralda. Why won’t you tell me?” Madrigal asked himself.“Didn't you follow her?” Madrigal asked her bodyguard when he stum
AT THE MANSION.Brandon and his men had left the hospital after confirming that RAD was there, and he slipped off without them knowing."Boss, do you think he will be at the location Herveaux was referring to?" Nathalie asked. "Think we should involve ourselves?" "It’s a matter between them; if they need me, I will make sure they beg," Brandon responded. "Hailey is planning on leaving the country soon; she is closing in on some of her assets," Estrellia reported. "That’s an interesting update, when is the next meeting with the five?" Brandon responded. "It's in a week’s time, sir.""Don’t you think it’s not a coincidence that the protector chose to arrive at this same time?" Randall asked. "I have been thinking about it; what’s the result? I know my father doesn't have a twin; at worst, it would be a dopper Langer," Brandon responded. "You’re right, Sir Brandon; it might be a dopper-langer," Randall replied. "Drive faster," Brandon commanded. "The helicopter and the b
AT THE GLASS HOUSE.Gwendolyn had arrived at the glass house, and Grandma Pilar wouldn’t see her until Andallio got to the glass house. Andallio walked in, and within seconds, they allowed Gwendolyn inside the mansion. Gwendolyn was sad and in tears. "Just say nothing. Can you do that, sister-in-law?" Andalio ordered. "All things wouldn’t get solved unless we worked with her," Naallio encouraged. "It took you almost the whole day to arrive here." "Where were you, Andalio?" Gwendolyn questioned him. "At least I am here; where is Herveaux? All he did was call!" Andallio mumbled. "I am hungry; what did your maids cook?" Andallio asked one of them. "I am not working in the kitchen, sir, but I could make a run for you,’ she said, bowing and leaving. Andalio sank into the chair. He farted shamelessly and smiled. "You all dont' mind right?' he asked mokingly. "I hate everything about you all!" Gwendolyn shouted angrily. "It didn’t have a bad odor; don’t shout; Grandma Pilar
AT THE MANSION.Esmeralda got to Brandon’s house very late. The rain was falling heavily, and she had to be helped indoors with an umbrella. "You should have told me you were coming, I must have made extra preparations, you’re lucky Nanny Carlortta is still around, and that’s because of Junior," Brandon said as he welcomed her in. He hugged her and placed a kiss on her cheek. "I want you to go back to the resort; I will be fine alone here," Esmeralda commanded Sylvester. "Yes, ma’am," he responded. "Yeah, there was a bridge in our communication, and I didn’t hear anything from your reply, " Brandon asked. "That’s true, I guess it’s the rain, isn’t it about the resort? What message did you receive about it?" Esmeralda asked. She pulled off her coat and hung it on the wall. "I am really frustrated," she hussed. Madrigal’s thoughts flashed in her mind, and she waved them off. He would have cooked for her. "I can make you something again if you don’t mind," Brandon reques
AT THE RESORT.“What is between you and Esmeralda?” Madrigal asked Torillio. “We just striked a deal, if you want a chit chat then that would be some other day,” Torillio responded. “Keep to your own side of the deal and I will do mine,” he responded. “Who is the protector? Don’t ignore my question, or is that also until our chitchat?” Madrigal pestered. “How else would I explain young man, you lover is angry won’t you pacify her?” “I understand, until our chitchat, thanks,” Madrigal stretched out his hand for a shake. “No, until the deal is completed, the protector would be revealed, and your boss, would be the first to meet with him.” Torillio responded. “Why?”“I can’t see any other valid reason that the fact that he’s now a member of the five, if there is any other, you and your team would be the first to know, I don’t trust Esmeralda though,” Torillio responded. “Get the car ready!” Torillio commanded as he was about to leave. “Can you drop me off somewhere?
AT THE MANSION. Madrigal got inside Brandon’s mansion. He was surprised to see everyone there. They welcomed him gladly, and he shelled in. "What would you like to take, It’s almost dawn and you're just hungry?" Nanny Carlortta asked Madrigal. "I am fine, ma'am; thank you."Madrigal joined Nathalie and Marcellus at the table. "What’s the update, you all? I feel like I have been out for too long," "Relax, man, and get healed, it’s just a few days," Marcellus responded. "Yes, I know, I don’t know what’s going on," he responded. "Where is boss Brandon?" Madrigal asked. "I haven’t seen him since I arrived," Madrigal added. Nathalie and Marcellus were silent. They had a worried expression on their faces. "He’s indoors," Marcellus utterd and paused. "Olvido was kidnapped and he’s helping them in rescuing him," Marcellus spoke up. "Damn, can I go in to see him?" Madrigal asked intently. "No, I think he has a visitor in there, and it might be personal," Marcellus la
