On her way back home, Natasha asked the driver to stop by the cosmetic shop so that she could get some cosmetics for herself. She knew she would have asked one of her maids to get it for her later, but she chose to get it since she was passing by that way anyway.

When she was done shopping, she went over to the cashier to pay when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

She turned around to see the unfamiliar face of a guy staring back at her with a smile on his face.

'Who could he be?' Natasha asked herself inwardly since she could not recognise him.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Natasha asked with her brows raised.

The young man shook his head slowly, he still had a bright smile on his face.

"Actually, we've not met and I wasn't expecting you to know me. It's just that, I had been watching you from a distance all the while when you were shopping. I must confess that you are really beautiful and I thought that I needed to get familiar with you." He muttered.

Natasha rolled her eyes.

    "Coffee or tea?" Henry asked Ava, who was seated at the front seat of his car. She turned to him with a smile. "I'd rather we eat something slightly heavy. I don't want to drink," she responded. He nodded his head and continued driving. They stopped at a small restaurant that was not too far from Henry's office. When they alighted from the car, Ava looked around the place as though she wasn't comfortable. "They have very nice food here," he told her to make her feel relaxed. He didn't want to go to a fancy restaurant with Ava because he was scared that they would bump into Natasha there. He didn't know why he was thinking too much about her, and also considering her feelings. He wouldn't have agreed to eat out with Ava if he hadn't promised her earlier. Henry was not someone who played with his promises. I again had to remind myself that there was nothing serious going on with either of them, so it was pointless for him to feel this way. They got into the restaurant, and they b

    Benedict and Miguel sat in different couches facing each other. The large screen of their television was turned on, but none of them concentrated on what was being displayed on the screen. Miguel's attention was on his phone while his father's gaze was fixed on a newspaper. Miguel was going through photos from Natasha's birthday when he suddenly stopped. He saw Natasha stealing glances at Henry. He also noticed the way Henry stared at her in most of the photos. "Dad," he called as he suddenly sat up and moved to the edge of the chair.Benedict, who was also leaning on the couch, moved the newspaper to a corner. "What?" Benedict asked. He wondered why the kid was bothering him. "I just got a few pictures from Natasha's birthday," Miguel told his dad. "From?""From someone, look!""Come on, Miguel, those pictures are not even important."Miguel groaned as he stood up from the couch and went to sit beside his dad. "Have you seen the pictures yet?

    Henry sat behind his office desk, checking his wristwatch every single minute. He hadn't done anything productive the whole day. "Cancel the meeting," he told Harrison earlier when he came to remind him about a meeting with some shareholders. Henry wished he could go home earlier, but he would end up sitting around his bed and doing nothing. The door opened, and Harrison walked into the room. Henry raised an eyebrow at him. It's more of a questioning eyebrow. "I knocked," Harrison explained to Henry. "I knocked more than thrice, and there was no response. I wanted to make sure you were fine here." Henry shook his head. "I scared you for no reason. I am very okay. Just that I've been thinking about too many things lately."Harrison sighed as he walked further into the office. "You don't seem okay," Harrison said. "You've been acting a bit weird since this morning."Henry shook his head again. "I'm okay. I am just stressed, but I'll be fine. I just need a little rest."Harrison

    Natasha knew that what she had just said was a lie, it was more than her trying to get friendly with Henry, it was equally more than her trying to get along with him.

No matter how much she tried to make dinner or lie to herself, she still couldn't erase the fact that she may be falling for that arrogant man."Oh! Dear." Cassandra suddenly exclaimed as her eyes moved to the wall clock. "You must be running late for your date, I'm sorry for keeping you." Natasha rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders."It's not a date, mom." She quickly jumped into her defense. "We just had dinner together." Natasha said with a frown."Oh! Whatever." Mrs Bay exclaimed and waved her hand. "You can leave for your dinner now, we don't want to keep Henry waiting." Natasha rolled her eyes again and started walking out of the room."Wait," she suddenly heard her mother call and turned around."What, mom?

Madame Gu inquired from my son.He paused for a while and stared up at his mom. He didn't know how to narrate what happened to her.

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.

    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

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

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."

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?"

    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
