Evan stood in front of the bar calmly with his two hands inside his pockets. His gaze lingered on the chained woman in front of him, whose body had some bruises and marks of wipings on her skin.“Lydia…” Evan's voice trailed off as he tried to make sense of what was before him. “Sir, is everything alright?” Worried, Claus asked. Davis stared at the two confused by their awkwardness. “What's going on? Who's over there?” He muttered as he continued to stretch his neck to see who it was, but due to Evan's height, he couldn't see who the woman was.“Nothing Claus,” Evan sighed lightly as he slowly closed his eyes to hide the confusion that was in them. Lydia Ackmar was Christel's cousin and was rumored to be bedridden due to an accident that took place 10 years ago when her family went out on a vacation. Ever since that day, the Ackmar family's business went down the drain and her family lost all the support they could get. And as though that wasn't enough, her mother had an affair
"Ahhhhhh!!!" A scream echoed throughout the cell causing all the prisoners( those who offended Evan and are being held captive and tortured to get information) in different cells to wake up with a start and glance at the direction the noise came from. "Sir Evan!" Claus's worried voice rang outside as he stepped forward to witness the gruesome scene in front of him. "Sir," He called out worriedly. Evan's left hand raised her and signaled to him that everything was okay, which prompted Claus to stop and step back with fear written boldly on his face."What was that noise?" Davis asked but Claus ignored his inquiries.Back in the cell, Evan roughly pulled off the arrow-like metal from the flesh burning beside him and glanced at Lydia's fearful expression."I will ask again... Why did you do that?" His cold voice sipped through her ears like invisible arrows.If the first time he asked the questions they didn't come with an effect, this time around... She was feeling the dread and te
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
