"So, what have the board members decided?" Henry asked one of his executives present in the conference room.

He leaned back on his seat and observed carefully as he watched all the members of my executives making their respective suggestions.

He was having a meeting with his board members on how they were going to start running the company. Given that it was one of the phases of his heir test, he had a little help from his mum even though she trusted him so much to be able to pull this through, after all he accomplished the first one successfully without any problems.

"And we were also supposed to have this meeting with the Guild family, but we received a message from them that they would not be available for the meeting." Mr Boniface cut in after a while.

"Well, then we would schedule another meeting where we would have a proper discussion with them on how to start the company." Henry retorted and adjusted his tie.

Linda's face appeared in his head and once again, he remembered what

    Linda and her family were about to start having their dinner when a knock was heard on the door. She stood up and went to open the door while her mom and James continued talking.Linda opened the door, and a weak smile appeared on her face. It was one of her coworkers. She flashed a smile at Linda, too, as she spread her arms open to hug her. Linda fell into Mary's arms, and Mary hugged her for a few seconds before letting her go. She pecked her both chin. "I've missed you so much, so I decided to come over and check up on you," Mary told Linda. Linda smiled. She knew that Mary didn't just show up to check up on her. Mary would only visit whenever she was bored and wanted to join James and Linda's mom to make a joke of Henry. Henry was no longer here, but Linda was still sure there was something else that made Mary show up there by that time of the night. "That's thoughtful of you, Mary. When did you become so nice?" Linda teased Mary. She let her in and locked the door after.

    Henry's eyes were wide open and his eyes twitched as soon as his ears got wind of the rest of her words."It's nothing big, I mean..." Her voice trailed off and she simply shrugged her shoulders. Henry held her gaze as different kinds of words began to run through his head at the same time. She already knew he was the Floater heir. She was probably some lowlife gold digger who intentionally ran into him just so she could milk him and take advantage of him.Henry furrowed his brows in disgust as his fists began to clench under the table."I wonder what a pretty lady such as you could be asking of me," Henry said and swallowed hard while he awaited for her cringe worthy answer."Don't worry," she said in a somewhat amused tone and leaned forward. "I'm not asking for too much, it's something you can easily pull off."Henry almost hated her guts and the audacity with which she made the request, he could not believe that this was the same lady he had spent a lot of time thinking about and

    Henry was dumbstruck for the first few minutes and his brows raised, of course it would have been normal for him to have a visitor in his office at that time, but what caused his uneasiness was the concerned look on Harrison's face when he informed him about the visitor."Who is he?" Henry asked under his breath, his voice was a bit shaky no matter how much he tried to compose himself."He..." Harrison stuttered. Henry ran out of patience and quickly walked into his office to see who the surprise guest was.Henry rolled his eyes the moment he got into his office and his heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the back of the man who was sitting in his office. What did he want from him anyway?Henry's fists were clenched as he walked towards his seat while bracing himself up for the tough time he was about to have."I've waited for you for a while," the man said as soon as he sighted Henry.Henry swallowed hard as he pulled out a chair to have a seat. After he sat down, he straightened

    Henry was bored at home and was tired of going through his phone. He looked around the room and decided that since he wasn't doing anything at home at the moment, he decided to get a few things from the grocery store. He would easily ask a maid to get them for him, but he was already used to doing a few things by himself. He stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He dressed up and walked out of his room with his cell phone. "Sir," one of the maids stopped him on his way out of the house. Henry stopped and turned around to face the maid. "I'm sorry for intruding, sir," she continued. "You have been quiet since you moved in. Just in case you need anything, sir. I am the assistant head maid, and I will be here to help in any way that you wish."Henry smiled and nodded his head. "Of course, thank you for the offer."Henry walked out of his house, got into his car, and drove straight to the mall. He walked into the mall and began to stroll around in searc

    Linda walked out of the mall after shopping. She didn't get to pick everything she wanted to pick from the mall because she didn't want Henry to drive too far before she got out of the mall. She wanted to see Henry, even though it was only the back of his car driving off. She was relieved when she walked out and saw his car still packed outside the mall. She thought that she should approach him now and just apologize as advised by Mary. She took a few steps closer with her heavy legs, but before she could get to sight, Henry started his car engine and zoomed off. Linda folded her fist and gulped saliva. She was shocked that Henry would leave just like that. She replayed how Henry was in the past. He worshiped her. He treated her like she was a demigod. He didn't let her out of his sight. He was so scared to lose her. Henry didn't just tell her that he would not be able to breathe properly without her in his life. He didn't just tell her that he needed her. She showed her that he lo

    Ava was standing in front of the sitting room. She was about to open the door and walk into the house, but she was undecided as to when she would do that since she wasn't sure of where her father was at the moment. She decided not to take chances. She walked towards the small door leading to the hallway. It was the only way she could sneak into the house without being seen by her father. Once she walked into the house, she first sighted her father seated in the sitting room. Her heart sank into her stomach immediately when she saw her father seated there in the sitting room. She sighed deeply when she looked closer, and realized that he was already asleep. She thought that he must have slept off while watching the show that was being shown on the large screen. She stared at the screen for a while. It was a boring show to her and she wondered why her father found the show interesting. She began to tiptoe into the house through the hallway when her mom suddenly bumped into her. Ava

    Ava stood in front of her mirror as she admired her beauty. She applied a dark red lipstick and a black eye pencil around her eyes. She smiled in front of her mirror and winked. She was not satisfied yet with her looks. She felt like she needed a change of dress. She walked back to her dressing room and began to check through the dresses. She looked down at herself and tried to convince herself that her look was okay. She walked back to her dressing mirror and reapplied her lipstick. She picked up the perfume and sprayed around her dress. Ava knew that the scent was okay because she already applied body sprays and perfumes earlier, yet she still felt like they were not enough. Ava sat down in front of her dressing table and placed her face in her palm. She began to wonder why she was putting in so much effort to dress up for her meeting with Henry. She didn't like him, and there was actually nothing real going on with them, so why was she trying so hard to look good? Ava knew that

    Henry checked his wristwatch for the umpteenth time, and Ava was not there yet. He tapped the table continuously using his finger. He kept staring at the door and back at the table. Someone walked into the open building at a beautiful spot in the park. There were a few people seated at different tables, but she ignored them all and walked straight to where Henry sat. He lifted his head immediately when she approached, and a smile curved on his lips, but the smile disappeared immediately when he realized that she wasn't Ava. She was smiling down at Henry, and Henry didn't recognise her from anywhere. "Who are you, and what do you want?" He demanded with a scorn. She sighed and tried to sit on the empty chair opposite Henry, but he quickly stuck his chair under the table and pulled the chair in. "Someone would join me soon, and I am sure she would not want to see you here," Henry told her. She hissed and walked away from the table. She found another table with a single man and joi

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

"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."

    "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.

    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
