It has been two days since the meeting and everything was going fine. There was no troubles or paparazzi sneaking around trying to gain information concerning Christel's kidnap."Ah! This is the type of fresh air I like!" Vera exclaimed excitedly as she alighted from the black Benz. "What about you Ezra? Do you like it here?" She turned her head to the direction Ezra was, and with a slight smile on her face, Ezra replied. "I love it here, Vera," She smiled, almost having an issue pronouncing Vera's name. A few hours ago, Vera had told Ezra not to call her mistress or speak with her in formalities, instead, she should call her by her name, and although Ezra didn't like that idea... she had no other choice than to do what she was asked to do. "That is great! Now let's rush in and unpack our clothes!" She beamed joyfully as she rushed towards the building before him that had three names imprinted on it.' Lush Rose Beach ' A day ago, Evan told that they would be going to the beach t
An intense atmosphere greeted the viewers as Evan, Claus, William, and Vera sat quietly in the living room. The so-called Vacation was cut short because of the news as Evan asked them to return home. Davis might need someplace to stay when he returns. However, on getting home they realized that he wasn't at the gate like they expected and they were confused by it …Until Davis called and said that he was heading to the so-called military base. He wanted to save his sister before Evan gathered his forces! “What should we do?” Vera asked breaking the intense atmosphere. She had stubbornly stayed back to discuss with them how to resolve the issue, and even when Evan asked that she leave with Ezra, Vera stood her ground. “We must contact Davis and ask that he return home. He can't go there alone and he might get himself arrested, or worse killed before he opens his mouth!” Claus said, clearly shocked at the fact that Davis was heading to the military base. That was the same place Ezra
Later at the end of the day, Evan refused his offer and instead decided to do things in his ways.But this time… He must find out how Amar got the information about him heading towards the military base. Evan took out his phone and scrolled through the contacts until he saw Claus's. “Hello sir, I was just about to call you,” Claus said hurriedly, and this caused a slight frown to appear on Evan's face. “Did something happen after I left?” Even asked but Claus gave a negative answer.“I called to remind you that the products the three companies had been working on with us, would be in testing tomorrow, and we would want you to show yourself to the consumers… and many other business people,” Claus reminded as Evan mouthed an ‘Oh’. He had already forgotten about it! So much trouble lately. “It's okay. I will be there, and do make sure you remind me again tonight,” Evan said and Claus replied with a ‘Yes, sir,’ and then hung up the call. After the call, Evan sunk back in his car wi
A slight crease appeared in her brows as Christel watched her mother walk past her for the tenth time. Her mother had been pacing the room for so long Christel had sunk in her own thoughts, even forgetting that she was there. Now that her mother just walked right past her, she was drawn back to the restless action. Her eyes followed the woman for some more time before she sighed. This was her fault. Actually, it was everyone's fault, but her mother would never own up to hers. Across the room, Jane sunk further in her seat the more their mother paced around. Suddenly, the golden haired woman stopped her restless action and shot a glare at Christel and her sister in turns. Jane shrunk further in her seat, and Christel lowered her eyes to avoid meeting her mother's. "I can't take it!" the sharp, almost anguished voice of their mother cut through the thick silence that had enveloped the room for a long time now. Christel sucked in a sharp breath. This was it. Finally, her mother would
Evan's Office….Evan had just come into office. He looked around the neat space appreciatively, not something he did every day, before walking to his seat behind his desk to sit down. As usual, Claus had already arranged documents he needed to peruse that day for him. Once again, the families that would be coming to see him that day topped the stack. But now, the files contained additional information on the people that would be coming. It seems that Claus had somehow managed to gather the specific people that would be coming from most families, as well as the relevant data on each individual. Evan, however, noted that there was no additional information about lady Tamelia from the Orbelt aristocrat family. But that was only to be expected. After making sure that Nathan from the Nol family's file was not among the stack, Evan settled back in his seat and linked his fingers together, thinking. The message from the mysterious number yesterday was really an issue for concern. He was
Please pick it up! It is about Ezra! Ever since Evan saw that message from Vera his heart hasn't been at ease. He stepped out of the car towards the restaurant before him and started to march towards it. His hands dug inside his pockets as his eyes darted around in search of Vera. "Evan," Her calm voice sounded from his left and he slowly turned towards where the voice came from. Vera was seen waving at him and gesturing for him to come over. Evan walked towards her and took a seat beside her. "Hey, what happened to Ezra? And why can't it be discussed on the phone?" Even asked as he adjusted on his seat. Vera smiled softly and she moved her phone towards him. "I am sorry that I had to ask you to move over here. I was in a hurry and couldn't talk much," Evan glanced at her and nodded without saying much. His eyes fixed intensely on the video before him as he wondered what Vera wanted to show him. "I was at home yesterday after a busy day at work when I noticed something was ami
“W-what?”Ezra's eyes widened in shock as her face went pale in fright. She glanced at Evan as her mind raced on what she was going to say next. Evan on the other hand had a calm expression on his face as he studied her expressions, but on seeing that she was refusing to speak or continue the subject. He decided to ignore her. “I won't be around for some days. Do make sure to get along with Vera,” Evan said as he turned his back on her and started to make his way upstairs. After he had walked away, a heavy sigh escaped Ezra's lips as she stood there in silence, but one could still see the beards of sweets that formed on her forehead. ***The faint click sound of the door being locked sounded in the calm and dimly lit room. Evan looked around and sighed lightly. He was just about to head to the bed when a soft beep sounded from his phone. He dug his hand inside his pocket and took out his phone to see that Claus had messaged him. (Davis needs your help, sir. I've been able to trac
A few days later it was time for the event! The event hall was spacious as table stands were arranged neatly in rows, and the place was well-brightened with magnificent chandelier lighting. One could tell it was an event made for the elite and big names in the country. Everyone at the gala event was in groups of two and some three or more as they chatted and made side talks with one other. Some just sipped on their glasses of champagne and wine as they waited for the chairperson to address them. "Attention everyone" the presenter called the attention of the crowd and they directed their focus to him. While some just continued their discussions."Ladies and gentlemen the moment we have all been waiting for, the person assistant of Sir Evan, Sir Claus." He announced, there was a brief applause as Claus walked majestically to the podium. "Good day ladies and gentlemen, I am Claus the secretary of Sir Evan who unfortunately won't be able to attend this event and is representing him
