"Miss Eleanor, Miss Eleanor, hello," Bright called out several times and finally realized the call was hung up. "Shit," he cursed and quickly drove to the company.

When he got to the company, Jerome was still at the meeting. Knowing how important Eleanor was to his boss, Bright didn't waste much time and whispered in his ear. Jerome's expression turned cold, and his chilly eyes made the workers shiver.

"The meeting is adjourned," he said, standing up. Judging by their boss's expression, the workers sensed an emergency and wondered what could have happened.

"What did you say?" Jerome asked.

"Boss, I went to the mansion and couldn't find Miss Eleanor. I was about to call her when she called and said I should save her. The call was hung up, and I couldn't reach her."

"How could this happen? Let's go to the mansion. I will personally check the footage myself," Jerome said, heading out, with Bright following.

At the mansion, Jerome went to the control room and checked what happened. Eleano

    "Sir, please, I know nothing about this. Spare us, please," Mr. Morgan bowed his head and pleaded. He knew how ruthless this man was, capable of bankrupting three great companies in a short time. He was someone he couldn't afford to offend."Mr. Morgan, I'm not interested in your miserable cries. Just tell me where Eleanor is, or else, I don't mind feeding you to the fish," his words made them tremble; they could hear the dangerous threat in his voice."What a scary person. How did my useless sister meet such a man?" Winnifred thought and admired Jerome more."Wife, where is Eleanor?" Mr. Morgan turned to his wife and asked in a gentle tone. He had always doted on his wife and treated her with care."Honey, how can you be threatened by a stranger? I don't know what they are talking about, nor do I know where Eleanor is," she wasn't ready to talk. The money she received from the other party was huge, and she had started spending it. There was no way she would let go of such an amount.'

    "Eleanor!" Jerome shouted, his voice shaking with fear. The night was silent, except for the soft rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant chirping of crickets. Jerome's heart was racing as he ran toward Eleanor, who lay crumpled on the ground. He saw the blood pooling around her and his stomach clenched with fear. He yelled her name, his voice hoarse and trembling.As Mrs Jackson turned at the sound of his voice, the knife clattered to the ground. Let me try again, this time with more detail:Jerome rounded the corner and froze. There was Eleanor, on the ground, blood pooling around her. And there was Mrs Jackson, standing over her, knife in hand."No!" Jerome shouted, unable to contain his fear and horror. He took off running toward Mrs Jackson.As he drew closer, Mrs Jackson turned toward him, her eyes wide. She dropped the knife. It clattered to the ground, and Jerome heard the echo of the metal on concrete. He didn't stop. He plowed into Mrs Jackson, knocking her off balanc

    An hour later, the doctor came to inform Jerome that Eleanor was awake. He went to her ward and saw her staring at the ceiling."Thank God, you are finally awake." He sat beside her bed and held her hands happily."Jerome," Eleanor called out. Her complexion was better, and her tone wasn't that weak."Yes," Jerome responded in a gentle tone."Even after leaving that house, they still wouldn't let me be. Because I was sold to them, they don't think of me as human. Why is it that way?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she complained bitterly. To them, she was nothing but an object that could be bought with money."Don't worry, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you again. They will pay for it. And who said you belong to them? You are on your own. You belong to only God and nothing else, okay." Jerome's tone made her feel better."Thank you very much. Thank you for always saving me." She held his hands and said sincerely."Don't thank me. This is nothing. All thanks be to God.""So how am I going t

    Elidad went to his study room. He walked to his filing cabinet, which had three drawers. He pulled the middle one and picked a gun that was fully loaded. "Mia, Cambridge, you have stepped in the lion's den. It was around one o'clock when he drove to the Cambridge mansion. He stepped out of his car and rang the bell. The security personnel was surprised to see him there. "Sir, is there an emergency?" He yawned. "Shut up and let me in," Elidad said in an impatient tone. Since he was no stranger and was the young mistress' fiance, he had no choice but to open the gate for him. "Weird, why would he come here at this hour?" The security man was puzzled. "Anyway, who am I to interfere in the love life of my madam?" He shrugged his shoulders and went back to his tiny room. Since there was a security personnel in the mansion, the hall of the mansion wasn't locked. He walked to the hall and walked upstairs to Mia's room. The servants were all asleep and so he wasn't questioned by any of

    It was Wednesday, and Jerome was sitting in his office going through his files. After he was done, he checked his time and saw it was three o'clock p.m. Since he didn't have much work, he decided to pay a visit to his guest. "Bright, drive me to the basement. It is time to visit the guest." He said with a playful tone. Bright could feel his skin prickling. It seems the guest would suffer today. He followed his boss who was walking towards the garage. When they got to the garage, he entered the car with his boss and drove to the basement. "When they got to the basement, he took him to where Mrs Jackson was tied. " Long time no see, Mrs Jackson." Jerome clapped his hands to grab his attention. "You, how dare you kidnap me." Mrs Cambridge said with arrogance in her tone. " Aww, you are still dreaming. You think they will be able to save you. It's been three days since you have been, has anyone found you? No, let me ask it this way, do they even have time for you?" Jerome sat on his

The Jackson family will announce bankruptcy tonight," Bright replied."Good, release her tonight," Jerome said."Boss, you have a meeting with Miss Ruth.""Okay, let's go," he said and followed, while Bright trailed behind.... At Jackson's family...Elidad paced back and forth in his room while Mr. Jackson sat on the couch with his hands on his mouth. His wife was missing, his mafia group was destroyed, and his company was now bankrupt. Just what crime did he commit to deserve this?"Elidad, whom did you offend?" Mrs. Jackson asked. He was sure they had offended some bigshot. Someone more powerful than them. "Father, I haven't offended anyone. I don't know what is happening." He too couldn't understand what was happening. He would have known if he had offended anyone but no, he hasn't.

    "All eyes fell on James, somehow they were happy he was here because he was the only one who could handle Stanley's madness.""Have you gone nuts? Do you want to kill your grandpa, someone who cared for you as an infant even though he has never liked existence? He did his best by giving you capital to start a new life. You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore. I will advise you to clear my way, or do you want to die in his place?" Stanley glared a

    "How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow

    Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?"

He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the

    There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
