Derek gulped in fear as he awaited the pain.Martha struggled to free herself from her captor but the grip Philip had on her was just too strong."Where is the chip?" Carmichael hollered in anger , he was beginning to get tired of asking this same question over and over again.Derek exhaled shakily and slowly opened his eyes. " I have told you times and times again, I. Don't. Know." He articulated."Fine." Carmichael sneered. "Have it your way." He stated and position the blunt cutter on his index finger and bagan to drag it to and fro.Derek shouted in pain as his blood splatter everywhere, the pain he was feeling was far greater than the pain he felt when his pinky was cut off, it was like the pain refused to go, sweat was coming out of his body in wave."Stop." Martha cried and looked away from the vicious scene.Carmichael wiped the blood off his face with his white hanky he got from his break pocket and kept the bloody blunt cutter on the table. "This is why I hate this blunt too
"Make sure you hide." Martha said and wrapped her arms round her husband."But..""Go Now!" Derek yelled." I love you.""I love you sweatheart." Martha said trying to hide her tears. "Now go." She said looking at her daughter one more time before facing the window.Lindsey glanced at her parents who held unto themselves before being dragged away by Karen as they ran upstairs through her many series of protest. If only she knew that was the last time she would be seeing her parents alive."Come on we need to hide." Karan said in fright."I can't, I need to go to my mum and dad." Lindsey replied looking towards where her parents are as she shivers in fear ."Am sure your parents will want you to hide." Muttered Karen with tears dripping down her eyes."Do you know a safe place to hide?" She mumble."Yea yeah." Lindsey stutter as she finally moved away from the door,she walked towards her closet with fear as she shakily moved the clothes out of the way revealing a lock door,she quickly ty
"Come on." Alvin stated and dragged Jake as they ventured into the forest.Philip groan in frustration before he moved into the forest. "Where could she be hiding?" He muttered to himself.Lindsey slowly got up from her hiding spot on shaky legs, she calmed her rapidly beating heart and carefully placed her hand on her pendant, her eyes closed as she remembered when her Dad gave her the pandant and said it was a gift from her late Grand Dad."Hello princess." Derek crouched down to his six years old girl."Dad." Lindsey yelled happily as she stretched forth her hand to show him her cute teddy bear. "Bear." She muttered cutely.Derek smile widen and he carefully pat the teddy bear on the head."No.." Lindsey pouted and shook her small head, her beautiful black hair flowing every witch way.Derek eyebrows rose up in confusion. "What is it sweatheart?" He cooed."Take teddy." Lindsey muttered, her eyes glanced over to the teddy in her hand before looking at her Dad.Derek let out a soft
Lindsey kept on running till she found herself in front of a large brown cottage in the woods, she could not believe the luck she had, who would have thought that there would be a cozy house inside all those thick bushes,she let out a relieve sigh and hurriedly made her way to the door.She inhaled and exhaled softly before pressing the doorbell, the doorbell made a long ding sound as Lindsey moved back.She kept on tapping her legs on the wooden floor while at the same time glancing back every second, her breath kept on increasing as more second went by.She let out a disappointed sigh and was about turning when the door swung open to reveal a middle aged man with long hair tied up in a ponytail and bright blue eyes, he was putting on a jean overall with milk long hand shirt."How can I help ya miss?" He asked, his Texas accent clearly audible.Lindsey sighed in relief. "Please help me Sir, I need a place to hide." She rushed out with tears in her eyes.The man looked at her with dou
Lindsey entered inside, the door closing in behind her."Welcome to my house in the woods." The middle age man said as he gestured round his warmly cottage.The cottage was painted white, with scented candles on different shelf, It reminded her of her cottage, she sighed sadly when she remembered that she no longer has a home to go back to talk more of having lovely parent. Lindsey gently sat on the brown cushion , a small smile on her face as she observered her surrounding.She turned to the man. "Thank you for letting me into your house." She said with a smile on her face. "You're welcome." He replied and turned, facing the bright window."May I please know your name?" She added as she stared at his back, though he told her his name ,she till wanted to know who her savior was.He moved away from the window and turned towards her. "My name is Timothy but you can call me Tim." He stated with a grin."Well..." She stated and got up, walking over to him. "Nice to meet you Tim." She add
Lindsey head shot up in surprised, she could not begin to imagine what brought about the question. Her eyebrows raise when she remembered what he asked her. "Trap?" She asked in confusion.Tim stared at her, his eyebrow raise. "Yes Trap." He stated, he could not believe she could asked such a question as if she did not encounter any trap getting here, he sighed in frustration he was hundred percent certain that he set different traps in the east forest so as to prevent anyone from entering his secluded place."I did not see any trap." Lindsey stated, she could not believe she was able to freely past those thick forest without encountering any traps whatsoever. Tim mouth hung open in shock, he could not believe what he was hearing, even him that set the traps was unable to pass freely without falling into his own traps, and now a complete stranger who did not even know that there were traps in the forest was able to pass freely, he search his brain trying to figure out how that was pos

"No no no no no." He yelled as he was pushed back, he groaned in frustration and decided that he would not let one error stop him from freeing himself.Below Alvin kept on moving the knife to and fro till he heard the snap of the ropes. He grinned happily not knowing the dangers that was about to befall them, before he could turned and announced the good news to Jake, he heard the rumbling of stones.Jake who was about to take a second swing for the branch, stopped when he heard a loud rumbling, he focused his ear to hear better just as the rumbling became loud, he groaned in frustration. "Alvin what did you do?" He hollered in anger.Alvin put the knife back into his pocket before looking up. " Nothing, I just cut a couple of ropes." He yelled back, his body trembling in fear."What do you mean by a couple of ropes?" Jake asked in shocked.Alvin scratched his head. "About nine or ten."

As they approached their destination, Alejandro's phone buzzed again, prompting him to glance at the screen with a furrowed brow. "It's Queency," he informed Lindsey before answering the call."Hey, Queency. We're almost there," Alejandro spoke into the phone, his voice turning warm as he conversed with his sister.As the call ended, Alejandro briefly updated Lindsey on their plans for the evening, a sense of warmth settling over them as they approached their home. The prospect of reuniting with loved ones offered a glimmer of hope and comfort after the poignant visit to the cemetery."You ready?" Alejandro asked, his eyes meeting Lindsey's with a reassuring smile.Lindsey nodded, a fleeting sense of peace settling over her. "Yeah, I am. Thank you for being with me today."Alejandro's smile widened, his gaze filled with understanding and unwavering support. "Always."As the Tesla pulled into the driveway, the anticipation of reuniting with family softened the lingering ache in Lindsey
After bidding Mrs. Katherine a tearful farewell, Lindsey made her way to visit Mrs. Amazon, her grandmother, who was surrounded by shadows of disbelief and remorse in her home. When Lindsey entered, Mrs. Amazon looked up at her with eyes clouded by the weight of her emotions."Lindsey," Mrs. Amazon's voice trembled as she spoke, "I am so glad that you are safe and sound. I can't believe that my own son could have been involved in such hurtful actions and I knew nothing about it. I feel so lost and overwhelmed."Lindsey sat beside Mrs. Amazon, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. "Grandma, I understand how hard this is for you, but please know that it's not your fault. You couldn't have known or prevented what happened," Lindsey offered words of comfort, her voice soft and soothing. "These are incredibly difficult circumstances, and you don't have to face them alone. I am here for you, and I want to help in any way I can."Mrs. Amazon nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "I feel so helpl
"Then, I guess it is alright with you if we searched your company." The superintendent stated, his finger firmly tapping the desk. Mr. Carmicheal's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard. He had known the superintendent was persistent, but this was more than he had bargained for. "I... I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that. My company has a lot of proprietary information that could be compromised if you search it. And I'm not even sure if you have the legal authority to do that."The superintendent nodded slowly, as if considering Mr. Carmicheal's words. "I understand your concerns, but we have evidence that suggests otherwise. I am not at liberty to share the details of our evidence, but I can assure you that it is credible and warrants a search of your company. We are not asking for permission, Mr. Carmicheal, we are informing you of what is going to happen." The superintendent's tone was firm and authoritative, leaving no room for debate.Mr. Carmicheal felt his heart sink as he rea
As Alejandro and the group meticulously laid out the evidence, the atmosphere in the room was thick with tension. Alejandro, his brow furrowed, pointed to a series of photographs, his voice strong and commanding as he explained the significance of each piece of evidence. "This photo," he began, gesturing to a grainy image on the projector screen, "was taken at the port during the time of the kidnapped. It provides a crucial timeline of events that led to the incident." As he spoke, the intensity in the room grew palpable, the officials leaning in, absorbing every word.One of the authorities, a stern-looking man in a suit, interjected, "But how can we be certain of the authenticity of these documents and recordings?" His skepticism hung heavy in the air, causing a ripple of unease among the group. Without missing a beat, a member of the team, Emilia stepped forward, her gaze unwavering as she calmly explained the rigorous verification process they had undertaken. "Every document, pho
As Matteo spoke, Carmichael could see the lies in his eyes, his despicable lies palpable in the air. Despite the gravity of his past actions, there was an undeniable determination within him to keep his secret to himself. Carmichael listened attentively, the lines of his face harding slightly as Matteo continued to lie about how he was coerce into betraying his clan and working with the Dragon clan. There was a moment of silence as Carmichael watched Matteo's words, his expression blank and contemplative.Matteo's smile slipped from his face, a pained expression replacing it. It was easy to lie to Carmichael, he realized, all it took was a grieved expression and a pause in his lies. Carmichael drew closer, his fist clenched and ready to strike. With one swift motion, Carmichael struck Matteo in the stomach. The blow knocked the wind out of Matteo, and he collapsed, gasping for breath and coughing up blood.Carmichael leaned down and grabbed Matteo by the collar, hauling him back into
Matteo could sense the tension weighing heavy in the room as Philip's words hung in the air, the gravity of the situation palpable. His inner turmoil was evident from the pained expression etched on his face, his heart heavy with the realization of the consequences of his actions.Standing by Matteo's side, Jake right hand held his shoulder tightly, preventing him from even moving. As Jeff spoke, offering a glimmer of hope for redemption, he could see a flicker of determination igniting within Matteo's eyes."Make sure you tell Carmichael everything, Matteo," Jake whispered softly, his right hand still on his shoulder. "I hope you get punished for betraying the clan all for your selfish interest."Matteo face paled, his resolve to tell the truth hardening, he looked ahead ready to face the difficult road ahead. As they waited for Carmichael to arrive, Jeff prepared a seat for him, knowing that the conversations he was going to have with Matteo's would be long and brutal, and hopefull
Queency and Emilia took turns explaining their situations, while Zandos provided additional details that could help Mrs. Amazon understand the gravity of the situation. "But she is in trouble and the only way we can save her is you telling us everything you know about her parents." Zandos finished.As they spoke, Mrs. Amazon's expression shifted from shock to determination. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will do everything in my power to ensure my granddaughter's safety. Her parents were Derek and Martha Amazon, Derek was my stepson and the heir to Amazonian Tech inc." she said, her voice unwavering.As Mrs. Amazon revealed this information about her late stepson and his wife, the group listened attentively, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Derek was like a son to me, but he and my son were never on good terms," Mrs. Amazon continued, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "He was hard on the outside but warm inside and very hardworking when it came t
Alejandro and his team arrived back at the underground tunnel, their thoughts a jumble of confusion and concern. The revelation of the New President of Amazonian Tech Inc's involvement in the kidnappings of Lindsey had shaken them to the core. And the nagging question of why Lindsey, of all people, had been specifically targeted weighed heavily on their minds.As they trudged through the dimly lit tunnel, they couldn't help but voice their thoughts, hoping to make sense of the situation.Queency furrowed her brows in frustration. "Why would the president of such a big company be involved in this? It just doesn't add up."Alejandro nodded grimly, his mind racing with possibilities. "I don't know, but Lindsey's family must be connected to something significant for her to be targeted like this."As they emerged into their base, the urgency of their mission hung heavy in the air. They knew they couldn't rely on Lindsey to provide answers, as her parents had kept her in the dark about thei
"I was not followed, Sir," the suave voice of Matteo rang out confidently. "This is Dr. Nguyen, a valuable asset to Carmichael. With him, we can finally bring them down and get what we want."Arnold studied Matteo with a piercing gaze, his silence a testament to his astute nature. Matteo continued, choosing his words carefully as he sought to convey his loyalty and the importance of his mission."I assure you, my allegiance to the clan remains unwavering. I have sacrificed a lot to aid your missions. I've siphoned money to you and provided valuable leads and plans that will greatly benefit us. You can trust me on this, Boss," Matteo stated with a persuasive tone, his commitment underscored by a steely resolve.The discussions were intense, with Matteo revealing more secrets about Carmichael and his company and wanting assurances in exchange for his plan to unfold. After the meeting concluded, Matteo left Arnold's office, a sense of subtle triumph played across his features, his clear
