As Natasha dressed up, her mind kept flashing back to Henry. She could not believe that she was mad at him the whole time for not giving her intention. She never knew he was in this kind of mess. She finished dressing up, picked up her car key, and walked away from the room. She got into her car and drove straight to Madame Gu's house. "You're here," Madame Gu said. She was walking down the stairs when she saw Natasha walking into the house. Natasha sighed when she saw Madame Gu fully dressed and ready to go. One of the maids walked into the sitting room from the kitchen. She approached Madame Gu, and bowed in front of her."Breakfast is ready, ma'am," the maid informed. "I am not hungry," Madame Gu replied and continued walking. She walked towards Natasha and hugged her. Natasha forced a smile as they pulled away from the hug. "You haven't eaten anything since...""Enough!" Madame Gu quickly stopped the maid from arguing. Natasha signalled the maid to leave while she handled
Henry was pulled into the van, and it began driving down the road. He watched the handcuffs placed around his hands as his heart chattered. He tried to stop himself from shedding tears. Henry could not believe the fact that he got arrested. His mom couldn't even save him from the arrest. He wondered how his life would become more difficult when he was finally placed wherever he would be taken to. What if his mother was unable to save him? His heart sank deep into his stomach immediately when he thought about that. "I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail for something I know nothing about. No, I can't." Henry kept crying in his heart. He had been too careless and allowed the enemies to get too close. Now they have something against him. They won already. How did he let this happen? He had been so loose because he didn't listen to his mother. He hated the fact that he didn't listen to her, and he allowed this to happen. He wondered if she was disappointed in him as much as he was
Miguel stopped by the entrance of the company and looked around. He could not get over being the new CEO of the company. He noticed the stains around the stairs of the company's entrance and called the cleaner who had cleaned that spot to come forward. "Who cleaned this place?" He asked her. "I didn't, " she replied innocently. "My colleague did.""Go get her!" He ordered. The maid walked away, and Miguel stayed back waiting for her to come back. She returned with her colleague, and the two bowed in front of him. "What took you so long?" Miguel shouted at them.The two trembled in fear. "I... we... I didn't find her in time," the first cleaner responded. Miguel pulled her ear and dragged her closer. She whimpered in pain as she tried to stop herself from pulling his hands. "Next time, do not take ages before responding to me. Understood?" "Yes, sir!" She responded. He let go of her ear and grabbed her colleague. He pulled her closer and pushed her towards the stairs. "Hav
Natasha's eyes were all red, as tears dropped freely down her cheeks. She wished that she could stop her tears from falling. She lifted her head that had been resting on her car stirring and looked into the restaurant. Memories of the times she spent there with Henry came running through her head. She began to sob even more as she stared at the building. She saw couples walking in and out of the place happily. Her attention was majorly focused on the couples. She wished that she was given the opportunity to see Henry once more before they took him away from her."Will he ever come back?" Natasha asked herself.She wiped her tears and whined her glasses up. She would have gone to another restaurant to eat lunch, but she thought it would be just fine to get something from this place. She had already lost her appetite, but she still thought it was necessary to get something. She would package the food and take it to the office. Who knows when she would get hungry or begin to crave som
Henry heard voices from the background, talking in low tones and having a good laugh. The voices sounded very deep, and it seemed as though the people talking were very far from him. He remained calm for a few seconds before slowly opening his eyes to reality. His head was still aching badly. Henry was grateful that he didn't die. He thought he was dead and was in another word. Even when he heard those voices from his dream. But opening his eyes made him realise that he was still on earth and alive. He tried to lift his hand to rub his eyes but realised that he was unable to move any part of his body. He panicked at first. How was that even possible? He tried to lift his other hand but still was unable to. He looked around. It was a bit dark, and the lights in the room were dim. He stared at his hands, only to notice that there were chains around his arm, restricting him to the chair he was seated on. It was then that he also realised he was seated on a chair with multiple chain
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
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
"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
