Shit!Paul clenched his fist in disappointment. That was his chance to get a lot of information about the secret informants in his company working for the Kazitanis. He was quite sure that Ms. Olivia was one of them or else why would she want him to carry out a secret task.He had to finally let her know his real identity and get his investigation started from her.“Ms. Olivia, I am afraid I was never here to find a job. I am actually the owner of this company.”Ms. Olivia snickered, her eyes glittered with malicious humor. “Like I said, I don’t have any task for you anymore. Just leave already and stop making a fool of yourself.”Paul proceeded to show Ms. Olivia his golden identity card. Such identity cards could only be owned by top dignitaries and personalities. “Here, take a look at this. I advice that you don’t press further than this or else you would get yourself in trouble,” Paul warned sternly as he showed Ms. Olivia the identity card.Ms. Olivia had had enough of Paul. She

Back at the Winstons, Sarah got into her family manor after the terrible incident she had with the reporters. She wondered what would have become of her if she had been arrested. She thought about Jude Bournemouth. Perhaps she should never have meddled with any of the Bournemouths - Paul warned her but she didn’t listen.Sarah looked drained, her eyes dull and tired as she got into Lady Winston’s apartment. Her uncle, Thomas Winston and Frank Winston were having a discussion.“Hope your day went well, Mum,” She asked in a weary tune but noticed that they were ignoring her. She wondered what she had done. Maybe she was just overthinking it so she tried to get their attention by sitting close to them.“You shouldn’t be close to us at this time, we are having an important discussion,” Frank Winston sneered before letting out a low sigh.“Why shouldn’t I be here? I belong to this family as much as you do or am I missing something here? I don’t understand why there should be something disc

Lady Winston narrowed her eyes. They were full of contempt as Sarah’s words reached her ears. “Sarah, since you have requested that I tell you what I think. Well, I will tell you.”She paused as if she remembered something. “But not yet…I don’t have time for you now. I have an important assignment for you tomorrow which you will know about when you get to work. When you return, there will be a meeting. We want you present because you are going to be one of the highlights of the meeting.”Sarah could smell trouble looming in the distance. Does she even have a chance with everyone against her?She went to her room and switched off the lights. She wanted to be in the dark because it helped her think better. She savoured the silence as she gazed at the ceiling.For the first time in a long while, there was no one she could talk with. Not Paul, Not Jude, no one! Perhaps she should call Jude, she thought.She picked up her phone and dialled his number but it went into voicemail.“Shit! I kn

At Bivas’ group, Paul had a look of pity on Olivia. Even though they had started off on a poor note, she didn't have to experience her 8-year-old daughter on the brink of being kidnapped.Whoever must have made the phone call must be someone very close to her, he thought. A lot of questions were running through Paul’s mind as they got into his Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600.Olivia was stunned as she got into the vehicle. Goddammit! Was Paul really the owner of such a spectacle? She had never been inside such a vehicle in her life - heck, not even one half as beautiful as the one that she found herself.The leather upholstery was soft and simple, almost luxurious enough to magnet one to it. The lighting was soft and subtle, creating an endearing atmosphere. The carpets were pure velvety and as one walked in, it felt like being welcomed into paradise. Olivia turned her gaze to the controls of the vehicle. She wondered if it was the control of an aircraft or that of a vehicle.There was a gu

Paul and Olivia got to Square Ville’s reception.“Hello Sir, Hello Ma. Please come back. You are not allowed to go in just like that,” the receptionist cautioned Paul and Olivia as they tried to make their way into the school compound.“Ma’am, my name is Ms. Olivia and my daughter schools here. Her name is Tulith and I am here to take her home,” Olivia informed the receptionist.“Just wait a second please,” the receptionist said as she went through her desktop to confirm the name of the kid.“What did you say the name of your kid was again please,” the receptionist asked but Paul cut in. “Ma’am, if you don't mind. We are here because a child could be in danger. Did anyone come in not long ago to take a kid?”Paul was in a hurry - his eyes was fixed ahead at the school premises. There was a chorus of voices as the kids were very lively, their laughter and giggle filling the air.They were buzzing around the playground holding hands and climbing on the jungle gym, their little hands che

“Tulith?” Rebecca called out loudly from outside the little tent.There was a little music playing from inside the tent as Olivia could see their dance teacher teaching them some ballet dance moves.“Tulith!” Rebecca called out again. “Your mum is here to see you.”They waited outside for almost two minutes until a middle aged lady came out of the tent. She was their ballet dance teacher.“How can I help you, Tulith? Or do you want to start learning the ballet dance?” the lady smiled, trying to encourage Rebecca.“No, Ma’am, I am looking for Tulith. Her mother here came in and requested to take her home,” she said pointing toward Olivia.“Oh! Ms. Olivia,” she turned towards Olivia with a welcoming smile on her face. “You are highly welcome. Your daughter is doing very well I tell you. Even in her extra curricular activities, she is impressive. She is one of the best ballet dancers and she only just joined a couple of weeks ago.”Olivia’s ear was itchy. All the compliments would have m

“Listen to me, kid. I am not here to harm you at all. Look at me - I am not a bad guy. In fact, I am only here to help your friend, Tulith. You said she is your friend, isn't she?” Paul spoke in a soothing voice despite being clearly frustrated by the little boy’s antics.“Yes, she is my friend,” the little boy answered but his eyes were still wide with fear.“Alright. It's alright okay? It's alright. I am not here to harm you or anyone else for that matter. I just need to ask you a few questions. Did you see her? Was she taken by someone?” Paul asked, placing a reassuring hand on the boy’s shoulder.“Y-yes..I saw her,” the boy finally admitted, his eyes meeting that of Paul who had an expectant gaze.“I saw her with a man wearing a mask,” he continued, his muscles tight with tension. “He creeped up on her and took her away. I wanted to scream but he warned that he would kill me if I screamed.”Paul was speechless for a moment as he tried to process the information he had heard before

Paul tiptoed towards the assailants. He was now very close and his heart began to beat faster and faster.His adrenaline-fueled energy heightened as he charged toward the masked man, landing a kick to his back. The masked man’s knee popped as he lost control of the little girl he was holding tight. She looked back and Paul could see her face clearly - it was indeed Tulith. The same girl they had been looking for all the while.Seeing that it was Tulith, he was filled with more energy. He coiled himself aggressively ready to unleash his fury as he balled his fist.POW! Paul received a heavy fist to his face before he could launch an attack. The masked lady approached closer, readying to support her counterpart with a punch or kick of her own. She wouldn't let her mate become overpowered by a mere person but he was doing well after all.“POW!” Paul received another blow, causing Tulith to wriggle off the man’s grip - he was trying to fight Paul with only one of his hands while he use

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard.

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h

Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before.

Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi

“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair

Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
