Scott finally arrived in front of the office and he pushed the door open and walked in. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMON!" Scott shouted at the top of his lungs. His words caught the attention of everyone there in the office, and they all shifted their gazes towards him in disdain.Simon rose from where he sat gleefully and made his way towards Scott."Thanks, man." Simon appreciated as they both shook hands."Where do you want us to celebrate your birthday, bro? Name it and we'll go there after work hours." Scott offered with a smile."Really? It's fine I don't want you spending all your life savings in one day." Simon interjected."It's fine, Simon. It's your birthday for crying out loud. We've all been through hell these past few days, and there's no telling how tomorrow might be. We need a break to get our mind off things and relax." Scott remarked.Simon nodded his head with understanding after hearing the words of Scott."Alright, then. I already have a place in mind. Don't say I didn't
"Is everything okay, Miss?" Mr. Leeray questioned, his voice extremely deep and menacing, and with every word he spoke smoke oozed out from his mouth."It's truly him..." Mrs. Charlotte gulped down hard. "It's. Mr fucking Leeray." She pondered internally, her heart racing with both anger and fear as she glanced at Mr. Leeray."Charlotte, what's the matter?" Mr. Dominic questioned right where he sat after noticing the way Mrs. Charlotte glared at Mr. Leeray.Hearing the words of Mr. Dominic, Mrs. Charlotte got snapped out of her thoughts and shifted his gaze towards him."Oh, uh, I'm sorry. I'm just surprised that a man like Mr. Leeray is here in the headquarters." Mrs. Charlotte answered back. "What brings you here, sir?" She inquired."I came here to talk business." Mr. Leeray informed as he blew out smoke from his mouth."Business? What business?" Mrs. Charlotte questioned."I have already informed Dominic about what I want and the deal has been stuck. But since you arrived late I d
"Let's forget about that for now. Tell me, why are you back so early?" Mr. Dominic inquired."It's about Barry...he's missing and we will need the advanced tracker to locate him." Mrs. Charlotte answered back."Sergeant Barry is missing? Since when?" Mr. Dominic questioned with a slight look of puzzle."I have been trying to call him but he hasn't been answering, neither is he returning any of my texts. It's been more than twenty four hours now and still nothing...meaning something is definitely wrong." Mrs. Charlotte replied sharply."That's strange. Sergeant Barry isn't a kid, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. He's probably wasted in a club or hotel somewhere with women, don't worry about him." Mr. Dominic remarked with a less concerned look as he returned back to his desk.Hearing the words of Mr. Dominic, Mrs. Charlotte's heart skipped a beat and she gulped down saliva. The idea of Barry cheating on her with whores in a hotel made her blood boil in anger, but she couldn't just ju
"You and me, Tonia, it would never work." Scott spoke coldly, and Tonia's heart sunk instantly. "You deserve better." He added before letting her go and walked towards Simon after noticing him stepping out of the building.Tonia was dumbstruck after hearing the words of Scott, and she just stood there speechless as she watched him leave. She couldn't deny the fact that she already fell in love with Scott after the little time they spent in her mansion.Scott was able to make her smile and laugh even though it has been a long time she laughed. She once had a crush on Jordan, but after realizing Jordan was only playing with her feelings and only using her, she lost every bit of affection she had towards him and was now interested in Scott.But now, it seems she would have to lose Scott too after hearing the words he just said. She couldn't quite understand what he meant by she deserves better.Was it because he was only a cleaner and she was the daughter of a wealthy mayor? Tonia wasn'
"Of course. Why would I miss my best friend's 24th birthday." Tori replied, hugging him back.Scott just stood there with his expression darkening as he glared at Tori's face in disdain.They both hugged for a few more minutes before Tori finally pulled away."So, where are we going?" Tori asked."Sunshade Fun and games park. We would play different games, eat at the restaurant there, and after that we can go see a movie or something." Simon informed. "Are you sure you can pay for all that, Scott?" Simon then shifted his gaze towards Scott who had been in silence the whole time."Yeah, don't worry." Scott affirmed."What's with both of you? Are you two fighting?" Simon noticed the way Scott and Tori has been glaring at each other ever since she arrived, and he couldn't help but suspect something must have happened between them."No, we are not fighting, Simon." Tori responded with a smile."Well, aren't you gonna hug each other or something?" Simon questioned."Nope, I'll pass." Scott
"Who's there?!" Tori questioned, and her words echoed throughout the dark street.She glanced around the dimly lit deserted street after asking the question but didn't receive any answer. She concluded it was only her mind playing tricks on her so she continued walking forward.While advancing forward, she heard the footsteps once more but this time around she chose not to turn around as she kept walking forward hastily with her heart racing.Tori kept walking forward as fast as her legs could carry her, and as she moved forward she heard the footsteps closing in on her at an incredible speed. Her heart began to race in fear as the footsteps got closer and louder.She finally halted her steps and turn around to see just who was following her. Turning around swiftly, Tori caught sight of a figure directly in front of her, and before she could identify the person she blacked out and fell on the floor.The figure picked her up and placed her on its shoulder before vanishing into the shad
"We just received an order from the boss that we should throw every single person in this place outside except Simon. Your money shall be returned to you shortly!" The security man voiced out."I don't understand." Gary muttered."Please leave here, all of you, or I will be forced to drag you all out!" The man shouted. The families around began to lament, but they had no other choice than to comply and leave.Gary on the other hand remained adamant and chose to stay."I am not leaving here! I am a VIP in this place! You can't just ask me to leave?!" Gary voiced out in anger."This is your last warning, leave here now!" The security man retorted.Gary still remained adamant about leaving. He knew his friends and girlfriend he invited were watching and if he should leave it would be a huge disgrace for him.Gary already boasted about the fact that his father had some sort of connection with the owner of the park, so getting kicked out would make them all see that it was a lie and his Fa
"It looks like a handbag." Simon replied with a slight look of puzzle as they made their way closer to it.Scott bent down beside the bag and picked it up to take a closer look."Not just any bag, this is Tori's bag." Scott informed in a serious tone. Hearing the words of Scott, Simon's heart began to race and sweat began to trickle down his face. "What's her bag doing over here?" Simon gulped as he moved closer to Scott with a worrisome look etched on his face."No idea. But by the looks of things it seems like she was taken." Scott spoke, causing Simon to panic the more. "What makes you say that?" Simon blurted out."Why else will her handbag be lying down in the middle of the road? She has definitely been kidnapped, and we can't call her because her phone is right here in the bag." Scott responded as he opened the bag and took out Tori's phone."Who could be responsible for this? What do they want?" Simon questioned, trying his best to stay calm just like Scott but no matter how
