Natasha had just finished getting ready for work, she was standing in front of the mirror and studying her face with a bright smile. She noticed that there was a kind of unusual glow on her face. She knew she had always been beautiful, she knew she was a beautiful woman but recently, she could not help but notice that she was glowing differently.

She knew within herself that it was for a reason, all the glow was because of a reason, especially because of the fact that she was a lot happier now than she had been in the past few days, and she knew it was because of Henry. No matter how she tried to deny it or shove it off to a corner, she knew that that was the fact.

For example, she could not help the smile that always appeared on her face whenever she received his texts or whenever she thought of him. Just like now.

"Stop it." She exclaimed and slapped her face when she noticed the colour that was rising on her face.

How did she go so fast from hating him so much to blushing whenever

    Henry thought of asking Ava why she took the documents from his office and what she intended to do with it. He even wished that she was standing right in front of him instead. It would be easier to confront her that way. He quickly decided not to ask her over the phone. She could easily deny it if he did. He wanted to see her facial reaction whenever he would ask her about it. He wanted to watch her struggling to deny it. He'd directly into her and monitor her heartbeat. "Henry, are you still there?" Ava asked.Henry was immediately drawn back to his conscious state. He quickly wiped his face and nodded his head. "I am still here, just dozing off a bit."Ava sucked her teeth."Okay, then. I'll just leave you to sleep.""Thank you so much for being so considerate. Thank you also for calling me and helping me out of the sleepless night I had. I still have a lot to do at the office tomorrow."After Henry hung up, he sighed deeply and leaned back on the bed frame. He knew that he was s

    Ava left the house as early as five o'clock in the morning so that she would be able to catch up with Benedict before he left for work. She also had a few things to do in the office later that morning. She only had about three hours of sleep if not less. She knew she would end up dosing off the whole time at the office, but she didn't care.When she got to his house, Miguel was the one who opened the door for her. He smiled deeply when he saw her. He could not tell why he was excited about the fact that she was the one behind the door. He remembered that he had hissed when she rang the doorbell. He thought someone had come to disturb them so early in the morning. "Hello, Ava," he greeted her with the smiles still playing all over his face. "Where is your dad?" She asked in a hurry. He lowered his eyes and sighed sadly. "I was a fool to think you'd have come to see me."He was teasing though. They didn't book any appointment so he wouldn't think that she came to see him. But he w

    Natasha's lips were tightly pulsed together as she read the name displayed at the top of the text. She did not know which was more annoying as she read the text over and over again, whether it was the fact that she felt disappointed that it wasn't Henry calling, or whether it was the fact that her ex boyfriend had the guts to text her even after she warned him repeatedly to never try to reach out to her again.Her fist tightened around the phone and her teeth clattered together until she felt like her flexed muscles were about to burst open. Letting out a deep breath, she released her muscles and sighed deeply.Why was she getting herself worked up over nothing in the first place anyway? She was simply going to ignore his text.She thought to herself as she opened her car door and walked into her car."No!" She said out aloud as soon as she got into the car and was about to take the wheel.She didn't need to simply ignore him. She scoffed and brought out her phone which she had earlie

    "I want you to find out everything about Ava. Her movements, her friends, and every other thing you could think of. Just let me know whatever you find out, okay?" Harrison nodded. His brows were a bit furrowed, and his eyes slightly narrowed. Henry knew what was going through his mind at that point. He must be wondering if Henry had fallen for her already. Or maybe Henry was wrong about his thoughts. He didn't want Harrison to make findings with the wrong illusion in his head. He may end up finding out things that he didn't need and tossing the ones that were needed. "Every single thing you find out during your spying on her, I need to know. Even the most tiny and most useless information could be useful at some point. "Harrison nodded his head again. "Don't leave any stones unturned. Find out everything."He nodded again without saying anything. Henry was seated behind his desk while Harrison was standing in front of him. He had come to the office that morning to inform Henry of

    Henry got home holding his briefcase in his hand limply while he walked into the house to meet his mother in a celebratory mood. She was sitting on the dinning table with a bottle of wine in front of her and a glass cup which was already half empty."Sweetheart, come this way, come on." She said as soon as her eyes met Henry and gestured on him to come towards her.Henry started walking towards her with his brows raised."Mom, what's going on?" He asked to study the bottle of wine in front of his mother.Just as he got close to the dinning room which was adjacent to the kitchen, the sweet aroma of cooking wafted through his nose and caused him to almost start salivating. He gulped down saliva and looked back at his mom who had already walked towards the wine cellar to bring an additional bottle of wine and another glass cup."What's with the celebration?" Henry asked, looking at his mother and the wine in her hand.His mother merrily drank the wine, and the smell of special cooking go

    Ava walked into the kitchen, ignoring Miguel. She went straight to the coffee mixer to mix and pour some coffee for herself. She noticed that there were no maids in the kitchen or around the kitchen. She picked up a glass as she waited for the coffee to hit up. She was about to turn the coffee into the glass when she felt someone behind her. The hands wrapped around her and grabbed the glass. She already knew who it was, even before he revealed himself. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Ava asked as she turned around quickly to face him. "You don't use that glass for coffee," he told her. He picked up another glass and pushed it towards her direction. She stared down at the glass without taking it from him. Miguel turned the coffee from the mixer into the glass and handed it over to her. "Here you go," he informed her as he stretched his hands to give her the coffee. "Thank you," she grudgingly appreciated and took the glass from him.Miguel grinned. He expected her to grab the

    Henry scoffed, he could not believe that his mother was yet to get over this thought."Mum, I've told you that I no longer have feelings for Linda, we are already divorced and we are really over now." Henry said and shrugged his shoulders. He had no idea why he sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince his mother that he no longer had any feelings for Linda. What if he still did? Why did he get excited when he thought about the board meeting that was coming up soon just before the ball which would mark the official launching of his company.Henry slapped himself on his forehead to stop the thoughts, but it was already too late because he heard his mother clear her throat, by the time he looked up, it was to find her staring at him with her lips pressed tightly together."I knew it." She said amidst gritted teeth and scoffed."What is it about that woman that is so hard to get over? Despite everything she did to you? Now you want to put your wh

    Benedict walked into his friend's house. He was already waiting for him before he got there. The two exchanged pleasantries before they settled to discuss. "Can we talk here?" Benedict asked as he looked around the sitting room. "I live alone, remember?" Jason reminded Benedict. He was still looking around the sitting room as he searched the place with his eyes. He was searching for any sign of another person in the house. He was also searching for the maid, too. When he didn't find anything, he turned back to face Jason. "Where's the maid?" He asked Jason. Jason hissed loudly. "What do you think?" He asked. "That she would be around, and I would call you all the way here? Of course, not. I would have come to see you instead."Benedict nodded in sudden realisation. He didn't even think about that. "My maid has gone to see her family," Jason informed Benedict. "I gave her a two day break. She has been complaining about the fact that her mom has been sick for a while. I decided

    Every other person in the ballroom went numb and stared at the center of the room like they had seen a ghost. In fact, they had indeed seen a ghost because everyone initially believed that Henry was dead.Yes! Henry Floater was standing in the middle of the room.Miguel was quick to regain his composure immediately, he was the first to speak."What are you doing here? How did you escape?" He asked under his breath, pointing at Henry. "Shouldn't you be in prison? How did you show up here without fear of being thrown back in jail?"It was finally Madame Gu's turn to speak as she turned towards Miguel and cast him an angry glance."Don't you dare speak about my son like that." Madame Gu said and finally ran towards Henry. "Where have you been, my son? What happened to you?" She stood from afar, unsure if she should touch him or not.She swallowed hard as she studied his face, it was really Henry.Henry reached out for his mother and hugged her.

    Madame Gu slipped the ring into her middle finger while standing in front of the mirror. It was finally the day for the much awaited ball.She stared at her reflection in the mirror. This was not her, this was not what she used to look like. But everything that had happened within the past few days had reduced her into a shadow of herself.Natasha had also been invited to the ball and Madame Gu wondered why.

    Natasha woke up that morning to an open window which she had intentionally forgotten to lock the previous night, maybe because she enjoyed the natural breeze that was coming in through the window.It felt so..."Soothing." Natasha said, staring out of the window before she got out of bed. She went to sit in front of her dressing mirror and stared into it. Looking at her reflection now made her realize how much weight she had lost and how neglected she was looking over the last few months. She had practically become a shadow of herself ever since Henry got missing and had been presumed dead. She had found herself unable to live with his absence ever since then.She had gone to bed with her mother banging on her door the previous night, trying to find out what was wrong with her and trying to get her to come downstairs and have something to eat.Even though she felt bad for her mother who was obviously worried about her, she still could not bring herself to go outside, nor could she eve

    Linda rolled her eyes and tried to avoid Richard, but she did not have my luck because he had already blocked her by the time she arrived at her car."What do you want?" She fired at him as he blocked the entrance to her car.She gave him a once over in a condescending manner, the kind of manner which would have him rethinking his life for the next few moments."What do you think you are doing, Linda? I hope you know the part you chose isn't the best for you? Instead of coming to me and let's resolve our issue together, you went ahead to cast me away just like that, just because you felt like I would not be useful to you." Richard pressed and Natasha rolled her eyes and let out a heavy scoff."You?" She said in the most condescending manner he had even seen and eyed him viciously. "Who exactly are you?" She asked amused and almost burst into a loud laughter. "And of what use are we supposed to be to me?" She questioned, watching him from head to toe while remembering how he had lied t

    Two people were seen on a bed, involved in a steamy, raunchy romance.The two people were eventually revealed to be Miguel and Linda. After a while, Linda broke away from the kiss and slightly pushed Miguel backwards."What?" He questioned, looking deeply into her eyes. "Why did you stop? I was starting to get lost in the moment and you suddenly pulled away." They were both sitting on the bed, facing each other in an intimate position. Their faces were only inches apart, it would not be difficult for things to get steamy between them and for them to get intimidate one more time, Miguel would have easily pulled her into his arms and they would go into another steamy round of romance, but he noticed that she had something important to say, so he just let her speak."You wanted to say something?" He asked, lowering his head to meet hers."I... I actually don't know how you will feel about what I am about to say to you now." Linda began, playing with her fingers. She had her eyes lowered

    Henry was seated beside the friendly military personnel who had been showing him around since he showed up there and had been equally trying to help him.He was promised by the military personnels that they were going to help him redeem himself and equally take back his company from his uncles. "Because your father had been very nice to us while he was alive, we are going to do everything within our power to help his son." The military man said to him while tapping his shoulder lightly.There were now in the underground office which Henry had been surprised that existed there in the first place when he was first led there. It was more like a tech room because it was lined with several computers and laptops and equally a strong Internet connection."I've been trying to track down Mr Pierson." The man who was sitting beside Henry said, his eyes were focused on the screen of the computer in front of him. "The person protecting him must be a very powerful person. It seems hard to be able

    "You know you can't continue like this," Natasha's mom tried to persuade her. "You haven't eaten anything in days. You have been crying all day... you stopped going to work. Do you want to kill yourself?" "See how lean you look," her father lamented. Natasha just sat there, staring blindly at her parents. They were all seated on her bed. She sat in between her parents. "Natasha," her mom called as she pulled her close and hugged her. "You've done so much to get the company to where it is now. Why do you want to ruin everything?" "Just when I realised that I loved him, mom. They didn't even give me the chance to say it to him. They didn't give me the chance to have the last conversation with him, and they took him away from me." Her mom kept rubbing her shoulder while patting her back. Her parents knew she would ruin the company if she continued with the way she was going. Her father's phone began to ring, and he quickly picked it up. He stood up and walked towards the window to

    SIX MONTHS LATER Henry's eyes were fixed on the blue Mercedes as it drove into the military training ground. He didn't shift his gaze from the car for a second. For some reason, he was attracted to the blue Mercedes. It finally stopped at a corner of the training ground, and the door opened. Henry's eyes first caught the silver heels as it alighted from the car, and his heart sank. He rarely saw women since he was brought into the training ground. He only saw them whenever he was outside, which was very rare. The men didn't allow him to go out. Other men were training at the training ground, while Henry was seated at a corner, thinking about his mother and Natasha. He wondered if they were looking for him. He didn't want to disobey the orders of not calling his mother."By the time she realises you're safe and stops searching for you. The police would become suspicious. "He would not forget the words. He sighed deeply as he removed his mind from the thought. The next time he look

    It's been two weeks already, and Madam Gu had not been able to figure out where her son was talking to. The police had searched everywhere in the country, and they could not find Henry. There was also no record of Henry leaving the country. Madame Gu told herself that she was going to press charges against Henry's uncles and all of her relatives if Henry was not found. The police would also have to provide her son. If they didn't arrest him for a crime he knew nothing about, then he wouldn't be missing by now. "On what grounds are you going to press charges against them?" Madam Gu's lawyer asked her. "You have no evidence that they have him. Mere assumptions can not even win in the courtroom." Madame Gu sighed deeply. She was deeply worried. She felt that the earlier she started acting, then the better for her and her son. Since no one had called her for ransom yet, then it was not a kidnap to raise funds or something. They kept her son so that they could kill him. It was better t
