The news about Paulina's capture and release spread throughout the whole company. Many well-wishers came to greet her and console her. While some who have been envious of us said she deserved it, Most of them thought Paulina had sent Henrietta out of the organization by making Alex pick her over Henrietta. Alex was in his office when Paulina walked in. Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see her standing in front of him. "What are you doing here?" Alex asked, looking worried. "I thought I gave you some time to rest. I can handle things over here, so take your time to rest." "I am fine, Alex. Besides, my mind would always be here, with you. Can you please not send me back home?" She pleaded Alex looked at her and didn't know what to say. "Fine, but promise me you are going to take things easy." "I will," Paulina replied, raising her left palm to swear. Alex chuckled, seeing the look on her face. "Alright, and make sure you take your medications." Alex's phone rang, and he picked
Clare and Henry took over Ruby's properties since he had no one to take over them. "We are finally the leaders of this great mining company." Henry said it with a smile.They finally had the life they had wanted thanks to Rubby, who left behind a fortune. "We haven't heard from him, and it has been three weeks now. Do you think he is coming back?" Claire asked with a worried face. "You worry too much over nothing. I said we would continue the way we have been handling the business and see what becomes of us in the coming days. If Rubby were alive, he would have reached us.. Either he is in hiding or he has been caught by the FBI." Henry replied."Then why haven't the police come to raid his office and home?" Claire looked a Henry "If you were an agent, where do you think your suspect would go first?" Claire looked at Henry and said, "Home?" "Yes, home. That is the first place he would think of, and that is the only reason why the FBI hasn't raided his home." "Let's just relax and
The next morning, Ethan Walsh arrived at Alex’s office at exactly 9 a.m. He was a tall man with sharp features, exuding an air of quiet confidence. Paulina met him at the entrance and led him to the conference room where Alex was waiting."Alex, this is Ethan Walsh," Paulina introduced them.Alex extended his hand. "Thank you for coming on such short notice, Ethan. We need your help."Ethan shook Alex's hand firmly. "I'm happy to help. Paulina briefed already on why I am here, but I’d like to hear the details from you."They sat around the conference table, and Alex began outlining the situation. "Xavier Richmond is a dangerous man. He's behind several criminal activities, including the murder of my parents and the recent kidnapping of my fiancée, Paulina. We believe he's hiding someone named Rubby, who can provide crucial information to bring Xavier down."Ethan nodded, taking notes. "Do you have evidence linking Xavier to these crimes, or any leads on Rubby’s whereabouts?"Alex shoo
Alex’s heart pounded as he followed the young doctor through the sterile hallways of the hospital. The smell of antiseptic was overpowering, and the fluorescent lights cast a harsh glow on the white walls. Paulina walked beside him, her face pale with worry. They had arrived at the hospital minutes earlier, desperate for news about Ethan."Mr. Davis, right?" The doctor had approached them in the lobby, adjusting his spectacles."Yes," Alex replied, urgency in his voice. "How is Ethan Walsh?"The doctor led them to a private room at the end of the corridor. "He's stable but in critical condition. He sustained a significant head injury and smoke inhalation. We're monitoring him closely and have him on a ventilator to help with his breathing."As they entered the room, Alex saw Ethan lying motionless on the hospital bed, tubes and wires connected to various machines that beeped and hummed. His head was bandaged, and his face was pale.Paulina gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. "Oh
Agent Miller kept digging more about Xavier Richmond and what vendetta would be for keeping Rubby under his roof. He also had on his wall the murder and death of Anthony Bailey, and everything was not making sense. Something was missing, and he couldn't place his fingers on it. Rubby has no motive for killing Anthony Bailey. But he had all the reasons to have Paulina and Roseine kidnapped. He was doing that for the gold. Miller's door burst open, and Agent Alice walked up and saw the wall decorated with many pictures and fliers. "Wow! You have a lot of big investigations going on. I thought you were told to stay clear of the Richmonds." Alice looked at him as she walked to the fridge to get herself a bottle of soda. "Does this make any sense?" Miller looked at Alice and continued, "Rubby has no motive to kill Anthony Bailey. Yes, they needed a distraction to have Roseine take from Alex's side, but don't you think killing Anthony Bailey was too much?" Alice opened her bottle of drink
Xavier, on the other hand, was weary of everything. The death of Rubby and the god brought along with him. "Don't you think spending a lot of cash right now will cause a stir, and the more might just have a reason to reinvest in us?" He looked at Sandra, who was lusting after the gold right in front of him. "We are rich, honey, and I am sure no one would care if we were two times richer." She replied, grabbing one of the golds."All we have to do is pay Lawyer Maxwell a good amount of money and have him defend us. What do you think about buying Rubby's mining mansion?" Sandra chipped in, and Xavier looked at her. "Oh my god! Why haven't I thought about all of this? Alex Davis had terminated the contract he had with us. We might as well have Rubby's company take iver, and then we can target taking the mines from Alex, along with any hidden treasures in the land." Xavier smiled, seeing that the plan was brilliant."Do you think Henry and Claire would give up the mining industry? I hea
Jacob Allison had become a crucial part of Xavier and Sandra's world. His charisma and clever humor made him popular at their parties, and his sincere fascination with the mining sector earned him a position as a trusted advisor. Nevertheless, Xavier's paranoia never decreased. He had established his empire through distrust and deception, and he understood the importance of not dropping his guard entirely. While Jacob wandered through the lavish hallways of the Richmond mansion at a luxurious party, Xavier and Sandra started to question their newfound friend.In the dark corner of the ballroom, Xavier quietly expressed to Sandra, "There's something about Jacob that doesn't feel right to me." He is excessively flawless. I don't want to believe he has our best interests at heart."Sandra, looking around at the crowd, responded, "I've had similar thoughts. His timing and his story align perfectly. There is more to him than meets the eye, but I want to believe he is legit."Xavier gave a
On the other side of Rochester City Alex and Paulina were trying to make sure Ethan was well taken care of. Walking into the hospital, they met him up and about. "Won't you be in bed?" Alex asked, walking closer to him with a smile. "I think I have been resting for a while now, and I need to get back in the game," Ethan replied. "You should take some time off. Try and relax and get back your strength." Paulina advised "Of course, I will do that when I am done with the irk at hand. I know how important catching the culprit is, and I am going to try my best to help you solve this case." Ethan said with a stern face. The door was slightly pushed open, and the door walked in. "Mr. Ethan, I can see you are fine now." He said it with a smile. "When will I be discharged, doctor?" Ethan asked "Today, of course, you have shown a significant improvement, and you are free to go home." Ethan looked at their faces and smiled. "See, I am all healed up now." "Not so fast; you need to take you
