Madame Gu walked into one of the most luxurious restaurants around. She had two of her guards with her, but they didn't go into the restaurant with her. She had asked them to wait by the car since she was sure of her security in the restaurant.

She looked around and noticed the table she reserved at a corner. She smiled as she walked ahead and went to sit there. Natasha wasn't there yet, and it was because Madame Gu was a bit too early.

She could not stop thinking about how Henry reluctantly agreed to marry Natasha. She was excited about how things were turning out.

She didn't need to put in any effort to take Linda out of her son's life. Madame Gu never liked Linda or the idea of her son getting married to her. She wanted some who were powerful, and Natasha came into the picture from heaven.

Imagine how powerful they would be with Natasha as a part of the family. She was smiling sheepishly when she saw Natasha walk into the restaurant. She checked the time and smiled even more de

    Natash tapped her table continuously as she tried to take in everything Madame Gu had said to her. She didn't think she would be able to seduce Henry. How would she even do that? Natasha thought that it was an impossible task for her. Henry should be the one trying to reach out to her and not the other way round. She had never chased a man before, but now she was expected to chase after Henry. If he was one of these men flocking around her, it wouldn't have been a problem. But Henry was something else, and Natasha could not explain it. Her office door opened without a knock, and she lifted her head quickly to see Simon standing there with flowers in his hands. Her heart sank when she saw him. She tightened her fist and gritted her teeth. Simon was the last person Natasha wanted to see. What was he doing here? "What do you want with me?" Natasha demanded. "I clearly told you that I do not want to see you again."She moved her gaze from him and picked up a file. She fixed her gaze

    Cassandra finished dressing up and drove straight to the Floater's family house. She met Henry walking out of the house when she was walking in. "Henry," she greeted him with a smile. He flashed a faint smile at her and walked away from the place. She watched as he got into his car and drove off. She sighed deeply and shook her head before walking forward. He wasn't any different from Natasha. He is such an ungrateful man. Cassandra knew how many men would kill to have her daughter, yet Henry was getting angry that he was being given to her on her platter of gold. Madame Gu was happy to see Cassandra. She took her into her secret chamber and asked the maid to serve them. They exchanged greetings and talked on a lighter note for a few minutes before Madame Gu decided to go straight to the point. "I called you here because I need you to help me with a few things," Madame Gu said. "We would start with racking our brains on ways to move the relationship between our children forward.

    Ava's heart was pounding in her chest as she sat in Mr Benedict's study, waiting for him to join her. She had been waiting there for the past ten minutes, when he told her he was only going to take a few seconds. She shut her eyes tightly and inhaled deeply. After taking in enough air, she exhaled sharply, releasing all the air she took in. "Why are you nervous, Ava?" She asked herself. "You know you can do this, right?"The door slowly opened, and again, Ava sighed deeply. Mr Benedict walked into his study with a smirk on his lips. "I am sorry for keeping you waiting," he apologized. "Not when you are wearing a smirk like that one. Apology is not accepted."Mr Benedict smiled deeply as he grabbed another chair by the wall and moved it closer to the couch where Ava was seated. He sat on the chair and faced Ava. "You are such a smart kid," he told her. "What were you doing in your room?" She demanded. He shook his head and sucked his teeth. "Nothing!" He replied. Her eyes narro

    Ava drove back home as speedily as she could. She ended up breaking the traffic rules without realizing it. She was pulled up by the cops and she had to pay her way out. "I'm so sorry," she apologized before leaving. She tried to reduce her speed and watch the road so she wouldn't fall into another trap. When she finally got home, she met her dad alone at home. He noticed how his daughter was boiling in anger as she walked into the house. "I can see that you already met with Benedict," he told her. She stopped abruptly and faced him. Her eyes opened in sudden realization. Her dad was Benedict's informant. He was the one who told Benedict about the dinner with Henry. She should have thought about that earlier because who else will? "Of course," she replied and walked away into her room. "Ava, you have to hasten up with the plans, though. Delay would not help us."She ignored her father's remark and continued towards the stairs. She met her mom walking downstairs. Her mom had a w

    "Here's the list, sir," Harrison said as he handed Henry a note.Henry took the note from him and placed it on the table. "Go through it, sir, so that preparations can begin...""Henry," Henry corrected him. He smiled slightly and nodded. "I would take it back to the headquarters before evening," he told Henry. "I'll go through it after I'm done with this. Also, try to make another copy for me before you return so that I can distribute it to everyone on the team who would help. "Harrison nodded and walked away from the office. Henry finished up with what he was doing and picked up the note that was handed over to him. He went through the names and was about to sign when he suddenly realized something and paused. He read the heading again, aloud this time. "Top twenty richest, camp." He began to check through the names once again, but this time more carefully. While he read the names, he stopped at number four. It was the name of Natasha's family. He smiled, but he didn't know

    "Honey, sometimes you need to take a break from work and have fun, too."Natasha rolled her eyes. Her mom had said this countless times, yet it never sank into her head. She wished sometimes that she could take a break as promised, but it was almost impossible. There was a lot that she needed to do to keep the company going. "But mom..." She argued. "I am not overworking myself. I would know if I am, and I will stop."Cassandra sighed deeply and took her daughter's hands. "You lose weight every single day, and I am very sure you have noticed that, too."Natasha smiled. "I haven't lost a pound in two weeks. Mom, I need to maintain my body shape. I have not lost or added weight. You and Dad are just getting worked up and overthinking this thing. I am fine."Jerry stared at his wife and gave her a calm-down expression. She nodded, and he smiled at her. "What about Henry?" Jerry asked her. "I know you have too much to worry about, and Henry is another issue you don't want us to bring

    "So he's not even rich?" "No, just that he's not one of the top twenty richest as he claims to be."The light whispers, giggles, and chuckles that were being heard from the cleaners downstairs made Linda stop. She had just finished working at her company and was on her way home. She wondered why the cleaners were gathered at that corner of the company by that time of the night. It was already past ten in the night. She stood by the side and decided to wait and know who they were talking about, but they kept talking without mentioning any names, and it was getting annoying. "I heard he's with Linda now," one of them said and giggled. "Linda, who?" Another asked. One of the staff noticed Linda standing behind and paused quickly. The one who was about to reply realized that her colleague was staring at something in shock, and immediately after she turned around, the other three followed. Five of them walked away quickly without saying anything to Linda after they saw her. "That wa

    Linda was shocked when James mentioned Richard. She had been stopping herself from thinking to that extent all along. She opened her mouth to speak but ended up shutting herself up without saying anything. How could this be? It was impossible, right? Richard was not the person the women were referring to back there. While she was trying to create other thoughts in her head, James leaned forward and dropped his spoon on his plate. Linda fixed her eyes on him. He pushed the plate away slightly so that he could rest his hand on the table. "Guess what else," he asked. Nobody replied to him. Catherine was the most confused person at the table. She still had no clue as to what was going on, but she knew it had something to do with Linda's mood earlier. No wonder she asked her if she heard anything. There she was, thinking it was Henry when it was very far from having anything at all to do with him in the first place. "What is this all about, James?" She scolded. "This is not time to

In fact, they had indeed seen a ghost because everyone initially believed that Henry was dead.Yes!

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."

    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
