Henry swallowed hard and reached out for the envelope which was lying on the table, his hands shook in anticipation of what he was going to find inside.

He had been suspicious of Ava, now it was time for him to find out if his suspicions were true.

Henry was about to open the envelope when he remembered that he needed to pick his mother from the airport that day. His eyes moved to the wall clock and he realized that it was almost time for his mother to arrive at the airport and he should have been on his way there a long time ago.

He swallowed hard and folded the envelope into his briefcase. "I will take a look at this later." He said and hurried out of his office.

He knew he could have easily sent one of his drivers or his security men to pick his mother from the airport, but the arrangement had been that he would do it. Besides, they needed the paparazzi to take pictures just for the media. It had all been Madame Gu's idea by the way. According to her, he had just come into the busi

    "How did the meeting go?" Mr Timothy asked Madame Gu who was leaning backwards on her table.They were now sitting in her office and having a conversation which seemed to be serious. To the point that Madame Gu didn't even bother changing her clothes before she went straight to her office. Henry had gone upstairs with a long face because he didn't want to be bothered about the meeting.There were some files in front of them which they both went through occasionally."It went well." Madame Gu said and took a long sip from the glass of wine in front of her. "I was able to get most of the major shareholders over to my side, they were willing to join me. I also found out that a good number of them were loyal to my late husband."Mr Timothy nodded his head and rested back on his seat."At least that is a good start." He cleared his throat."Now we are certain that Henry has a lot of back up." "If only he would just agree to the marriage with the Bay heiress." Madame Gu added. "It would be

    Ava gasped and took a step backwards after Henry flung the envelope towards her and all the contents spilled over to the ground.She was about to ask what had come over him when her eyes caught one of the contents of the envelope. It was a picture of her and Miguel.She swallowed hard as she stared at the open picture while wondering what could be contained in the rest of them.Her breath hitched when she looked up at Henry and saw the fierce look in his eyes. His eyes were burning and she knew that she needed to keep away as much as possible before the fire in his eyes burned her."So you are a traitor." Henry said under his breath and took another step close to Ava who immediately moved back in fright. "All these while you were coming close to me, you have actually been working closely with my enemies to bring me down. I actually thought that you to an extent felt something for me, I didn't know it was just all a ploy to get me to trust you so that you will ruin me."Ava could see p

    Ava stood there watching Henry as he got into his car and swallowed hard.She started to feel a bit hopeful when he didn't drive away immediately, she was wondering what was going through his mind and why he stayed back there. Maybe he would come back to her and give a chance not to explain. She thought to herself as she stood there watching his car while trying to fight the tears that were threatening to burst out of her eyes at any moment.She did not just feel disappointed when he drove away, she felt equally dejected and felt like her life was about to come to an end. If only he had given her the chance to explain.Slowly, she retraced her steps backwards with shaky legs and went over to sit on the bench Henry had been sitting on before she arrived.The corner of her eyes stung, no matter how she tried to hold onto it, it stung even more and burned till she could take it no more. Soon, she was unable to hold back the tears and they began flooding out of her eyes like a volcano of

    Ava strolled around her room with a heavy heart. She soon stopped in front of her mirror and stood there to stare back at her reflection. Her eyes were red as she stared back at them. It seemed like she had been crying for a very long time. She picked up her from the table and stared at the blank screen for a few seconds until her vision blurred out. She sighed deeply and walked towards her bed. She sat there and stared at her screen again. She placed her finger on the fingerprint sensor. She scrolled through the app and tapped on her phone book. Henry's number was the first, second, and third number displayed there. She called him three times about three hours ago, another three times about an hour ago, and once, a few seconds ago. She sighed deeply and dialled Henry's number one more time. She wasn't expecting him to pick up, but she kept calling. She didn't know why she was still calling Henry, even though she was not expecting him to pick up. She had been calling him for the p

    Henry did the last button of his suit at the same time as his phone beeped. He winced and reached out to take the phone which was lying on his table.His face immediately formed into a frown when he unlocked his phone and noticed who the message was from.Ava has texted him for the umpteenth time begging to meet up with him and explain things."Henry, please, can you stop ignoring me? Let's meet up and talk this out. I beg you, I can explain everything that happened. Just give me a listening ear." Henry could read the tone of the message, in fact, he could even read the entire text message in her voice.He scoffed and tossed his phone to a corner and went ahead with his dressing. What exactly was she trying to explain? Why did she come close to him pretending to like and care about him when she was only trying to ruin him? Or why was she working hand in hand with his enemies to ruin his company? What reason is justifiable enough for her to do that? There was a deep frown on Henry's

After that, she touched the side of his face and tugged at it."Make sure you wear a smile on this face when we go out there. It's your big day, and we have to show them what a happy family we are.With that, Madame Gu beckoned to the driver who immediately rushed over to the side to open the door for the both of them and they both stepped down from the car.Immediately, all the reporters and camera men that had been awaiting their arrival went mad, they were falling over each other to make sure they captured the pictures accurately.Henry took a deep sigh and rolled his eyes.Was this all he

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?"

    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.

    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
