Madame Gu was in her office when Henry got home tired from all the work he did in the office. He had a lot of meetings to attend that day.

"I can see you came in very early from the office today." He heard his mother call from her office.

Henry stopped in his tracks and turned to face the direction of his mother's office where he heard her voice come from.

"Mom," he said and walked towards her. "You seem busy." He said looking at the piles of paper on her table.

"I am going through some documents of the company." Madame Gu said and looked up at Henry who was standing there and looking down at her.

"Why did you suddenly get back early today?" Madame Gu demanded.

"I feel very tired from all the work in the office, so I decided to come back earlier and have some rest. Besides, I closed a deal today." Henry said and pulled out the seat opposite his mother's table.

"I can see..." Madame Gu said and took a long pause while looking at the documents still on her table. "You are doing very we

He had been informed about this deal sometime ago and finally decided to give it a try.Harrison was already in the office by the tune Henry arrived and he could not help but feel impressed about how dedicated he was."Pray tell me, did you sleep in the office?" Henry asked with his brows raised.Harrison laughed and shook his head. "I woke up earlier than usual just to be early to the office because I knew that you were going to come early." Harrison said with a smile on his face.With that, he took Henry's briefcase from him and they both walked to Henry's office together."I'm supposed to meet up with a new business associate today, we need to finalize a deal and finally get the contract signed." Henry told Harrison who nodded his head."Do you need anything, sir?" Harrison asked when he was about to leave the office and Henry gave him a cornere

    "Long day?" Henry heard in the dark as soon he got into the house. He paused in his tracks and turned on the light to see his mother sitting on the couch with her laptop in front of her. She also had a mug of coffee on the table in front of her."Mom? You are still up?" He asked and walked towards her."Yes." She said and took a long sip from her cup of coffee. "I decided to do a little survey on the company."Henry ran his hand over his head and sighed deeply. He knew his mother was worried about him, he knew she wanted to keep tabs on the company and make sure he did not make any mistakes. But he wished she would not worry so much.He thought of telling her that he had found the financial glitch she talked about, he wanted to tell her how he thought it was someone close by and had to be a close member of the Floater family.But he immediately decided against it. It was something he could handle on his own."Don't stay up too late, mom." He told her instead.He leaned downwards to ki

    "What do you mean by my company standing a risk of getting kicked out of the market?" Henry asked amidst gritted teeth.He was already ruled up as a result of the issue with Natasha and the traffic he had to face, coupled with the fact that he had to drive back here because of some stupid investigations."I'm so sorry that we had to bring you back here, but it is very important that we attend to this."The bald pot bellied man with his suit barely fitted into his clothes, whom Henry suspected was the most superior, stepped forward and handed a printed paper to Henry."We got information about some shady businesses that you may be involved in, we have power from the government to conduct a search in your company."Henry scoffed and ran his hand through his hair."What do you mean by shady businesses? Where did such an Information come from? We only deal with legit businesses here." Henry defended while trying to avoid the paper that was being handed over to him."I told them the same t

    Natasha fumed as soon as the call ended with Henry and tossed her phone carelessly inside her drawer. She ran her thumb over her eyes to get rid of the tears that were starting to gather around her eyes.Why did he have to call her and pretend like he cared when he was just in the arms of his ex wife a few days ago. Was he taking her for a fool or what?Natasha tried to get rid of the thought of Henry from her head and concentrate on her work but she just couldn't since flashes of their time together kept coming into her head and interrupting her work.But why did he call anyway? She asked herself as she leaned backwards on her chair, staring into space and tapping her fingers rhythmically on the table.She was gradually drifting away from reality and letting her thoughts get the better part of her as she went by. Only the gentle swooshing sounds made by the air conditioner which hung over her chair, and the gentle sounds made by her fingers as she tapped them on the table.What if he

    Henry had no idea why his heart skipped the way it did when the question was thrown to the uniformed men who had gone to conduct the search on his premises. There was nothing to worry about right? He didn't have what they were looking for right?Henry's eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the uniformed men who were trooping into his office with stern looks on their faces. He fixed his gaze on the face of the man who spoke."We did a thorough search around the premises just as you instructed..." The man started and Henry almost heaved a sigh of relief."You see?" Henry cut in, stepping forward. "You are just being unnecessarily dramatic," "Let him finish," the pot bellied man who had been in Henry's office cut Henry short.The uniformed man cast Henry a glance and continued. "He seems to be very crafty in hiding his dirt and covering his tracks." The man added."What the hell are you talking about?" Henry barked. "I have nothing to hide, that is why I gave you access to search.""I

    Madame Gu held her phone close to her ear as she paced the office. The clanging of her heels against the marbled floor could be heard. "How did this happen?" She asked in a loud tone. The thrombin veins in her neck were evident of her anger. She was sweating lightly, even though the AC in the office was turned on. She wiped her forehead as she listened quietly to the person on the other end of the phone. "Then find out who's trying to fuck with my son!" She commanded. "It's not just him, but the company as well. They are trying so hard to bring my son down, and thereby putting the company in jeopardy." She paused again and sighed deeply. She listened for a few more seconds before speaking again. "Then get to work immediately! Nothing must happen to my son or the company. I mean, nothing!"She slowly turned to a corner of the office. Henry was seated on the couch with his head bowed and his jaw in his palm. He was in deep thoughts. He was trying to figure out how he got into this

    "I think this is our chance, why don't we just take it now that it's still open?" The loud authoritative female voice called, pulling the attention of all the people gathered around the conference table to herself. It was very obvious that not just her voice, but her appearance was enough to pull anybody's attention towards her."I think this chance is going to be open for a very long time, maybe, forever." Mr Benedict's voice rang from across the table. He had a very cocky smile on his face as he leaned back on his seat with his hand on the table.The conference room where the meeting was being held was a large conference room with a large table in the middle where all the participants of the meeting were seated in a perfect circle.It happened that they managed to get a glimpse of what happened with Henry at the company, in fact, they should be aware of it by this time because the news had already spread around time like wildfire.They had quickly called for a meeting amongst thems

    Every other member of the Floater group had received the email message at about the same time as Madame Gu's phone dinged with the notification, Henry also would have gotten the message at about that time if he was not sulking on the couch and getting drowned in alcohol which he hoped would equally drown his pains.The other members of the company who received the at the same time as he did equally knew why the board meeting was being called for, they had all seen it in the news."I hope nothing happens to our shares." Were the words on some of their lips as they read through.Although most people were sad about receiving the news of what was about to happen to Henry's company, it was entirely different in Fred's house.Fred was sitting on a bench in his garden and receiving some evening breeze while scrolling through his phone with a stick of cigarette in his hand when the news came up on his phone.He pulled the cigarette away from his mouth and puffed a mouthful of smoke."This cal

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.

    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
