The news of Becca's arrest made the best headline on social outlets that week, creating awareness of the troubles going on in the family.

“Good evening, Mr Woodluck. How may I help you?” A middle-sized policeman greeted him.

“I'd like to see my Mom, right away." He said, and the man frowned with a confused gaze.

"I'm sorry Mr Kelvin, but I can't…"

    “Has the money been delivered?" Uncle Theo inquired over the phone. Finally, the Woodluck family had agreed with the unknown spokesperson of the kidnappers, and a ransom of 500 billion dollars had been reached. The same amount of money that had gone missing from the Silverwood Associates. It was the second day after the payment, and Pamela would be returning home in the next 5 hours. “Yeah, everything's in place,” Kelvin's deep voice responded over the phone. “Good. I can't wait to hold my baby girl I'm my arms. Thank you very much, Kelvin, you've done a lot to ensure that your sister comes back to us safely." "There's nothing to thank me for, Uncle. I did what every big brother would do for his little sister. By the way, how are you holding up? To be honest, I feel like our family is falling apart, Uncle, and it breaks me.” Uncle Theo sighed heavily, he was sitting in the garden inside the Woodluck home back in Boston with a bottle of Champagne sitting on the little table befor

    24 hours later, Pamela was yet to return home. Uncle Theo had reached out to the number that called earlier, but all efforts to reach them failed.

The meeting was short and brief, and a conclusion was reached within 3 hours. As he stepped out of the building dressed in his expensive white suit, a fleet of luxury cars waited in the compound to drive him back home. He walked down the path with anger hanging on his face.“Mr Theophilus," a familiar voice called from behind, and he turned around and saw a magnificent curvy mature woman walking towards him. Of course, he recognized her at first sight. “Juliana?" He called, staring at her with a fake smile on his face.“What do you want? Are you following me around now?” He asked curiously, and she sighed and narrowed her gaze. “Damn Christ! You're beginning to bore me, Theophilus. I think you should b

She held onto the pics across her chest and raised her face to the ceiling. “Kelvin, I'm sorry. I should've listened to you. I don't want to die here," she lamented with a broken voice. The door flung open, and Elias entered the room with a plate of sandwiches in his hands.He noticed her tears that had found their way out of her eyes, and he sighed deeply.“Not again, Pamela. Listen, I already told you. You will be safe as long as your family does what's expected of them.” He said to her. She scoffed and narrowed her eyes.“And what is that if I may ask? What is expected of them?" She asked. He shrugged off and placed the plate on the table beside her. “You should eat," he sa

Mariana swallowed nervously, her eyes darted around the room as she thought of the best way to say what she had in mind. Mark was someone she knew to be impatient and arrogant, his temper issues were something to be concerned about. She exhaled, darting her eyes around the room.“What is it? I don't have all day." He roared, and she flinched. She swallowed hard and pouted slowly."Uhm… there is a problem," she said. Sitting on his sofa inside his sitting room, he raised his brow, showing his concern for what she had to say. " Spit it out,” he commanded, and she swallowed.Fear engulfed her, thinking about what he would do when she told him the situation."It's Gregory. It happened just like you said.

He was panting heavily, after a long day at the police department, he had failed to convince the police that Mark Muller was behind the sudden death of Frank. Given the situation, it became obvious that Mark must be monitoring his movement, somehow, he managed to find out whatever he did or discussed with anyone. “Maybe he knows about Juliana already, or maybe he doesn't." Kelvin thought. He paced around the sitting room, thinking of the next move now that Frank was dead. His phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. It was a call from Dead Target.
