Mr Louis was just returning from the international TV station where he had gone to tender his resignation as the chairman of the financial union of whistling meadows.As Mr. Louis opened the door, his face was etched with a mixture of surprise and sheer disbelief.His steps faltered for a moment, his mind struggling to comprehend the sight before him."Kelly? Jose?" Mr Louis uttered, his voice laden with astonishment and a hint of concern.The siblings turned toward their father, their expressions a blend of relief and apprehension. Kelly's eyes were red from tears shed in captivity, while Jose's jaw was set in a determined manner, a mix of frustration and defiance apparent in his gaze."Dad!"Jose screamed, his voice carrying the weight of the recent ordeal."They wanted you to resign as the chairman of the financial union."Jose immediately said, his voice was barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of trepidation and sorrows.Mr. Louis stood rooted to the spot, his mind rac
"Dad, we were blindfolded and we really didn't recall all that happened."Jose Louis said as they entered the living room.His father stared askance at him as they all plopped into the sofa in the living room."I don't mean what happened at the place where your adopters took you to.""I meant before you guys were adopted, how did it happen?""Did you guys notice anything suspicious, like anyone on the road or anything that can really help us out in finding the people behind this shenanigan, the people who pulled this hard one on us?"Mr Louis asked, his voice laced with a mixture of frustration and concern.His gaze was intense, almost probing, as if seeking any small detail that could really help him out.Kelly Louis hesitated for a moment, her mind racing through the chaotic moments before their abduction.The whole event was now hazy in her face.The pain of her blindfold was still evident as she dabbed her eyes with an ice pack her personal nanny just handed her."Dad, it was all
Mr Louis asked, his voice laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety."Yes big brother, what do you mean by that?"Kate Louis who was just entering now immediately asked her brother."I really don't understand what you mean by that.""Are you trying to tell us that the poor brat called Alex Waynee that I and Kelly embarrassed at our birthday party was the one who pulled off your kidnap?"Kate Louis asked, her eyebrows furrowed in a mix of shock and disbelief. Her voice trembled slightly, unable to fathom the idea that someone they knew from such a different background could orchestrate such a sophisticated operation."How is it even possible for him to do that?" Kelly Louis asked as she stared back and forth between her father and her brother Jose Louis.Jose's gaze shifted between his sister and father, sensing their skepticism."I know it sounds improbable, but there was something in that voice.""Something familiar that struck a chord. And the timing, right after Dad stepped dow
The next day was Tuesday the sun was really doing a great job flooding Sandra's opulent office with its natural amber light.Sandra Douglas was listening to 'Before you go' by Lewis Capaldi.Sandra Douglas was engrossed in the music as if it were weaving an emotional tapestry around her.Each note a thread stitching together memories, aspirations, and the present moment. The haunting melody filled the room, creating an atmosphere that seemed to transcend time, transporting her to a realm where lyrics resonated with her experiences, evoking a cascade of emotions.Just then a knock came on her door, but the headset she had on was really loud preventing her from hearing the knock on the door.Despite the demands of her opulent office, the music provided a brief sanctuary, where her thoughts danced to the rhythm, momentarily detached from the hustle and bustle of her professional world."Mrs Sandra!" The voice of Lisa, her new personal assistant, was now vehement, causing Sandra Douglas
'Why is Emily calling me back again?'Sandra Douglas's thought raced as she stared at her phone and back to the windshield.The sky was no longer looking any more friendly.Staring at the phone as it continued to ring out loud inside the car.Sandra Douglas wondered if and why she should pick up the call.After some minutes of continuous ringing, Sandra Douglas immediately decided to pick up the call."Hello Emily, what is it?""I thought I told you that I would be coming to pick up the package myself?"Sandra Douglas asked, her voice was a bit vehement.Her face etched with a mixture of suspicion and bewilderment as she began considering the possibilities of what Lisa said to be true."Sorry ma, I was just checking up on you to make sure you are actually coming to pick up the delivery."The voice of Emily was barely above whispers."Yes of course, I'm on my way to the post office as we speak."Sandra Douglas replied as she immediately ignited her car."One more thing ma." Emily inter
The black leather Oxford shoe of a tall Chubby man on black suit landed on the floor.A black pasotti umbrella was immediately raised over his head as he lit his Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigar and puffed a smoke in the air.The weather is now getting ominous, the sky graying as thick clouds roll in, casting an eerie shadow over the scene."Are you sure we got the right person?"The cold and detached voice of the chubby man broke through the intense situation.Just then the other hench man nodded."Yes boss, it's her, Sandra Douglas."The voice of the hench man was cold and detached.The pitter-patter of raindrops began to drum against the pavement, the sound growing steadily louder, masking any other noise in the vicinity. The air crackled with tension, a palpable sense of foreboding hanging like a heavy cloak."I hope you secured the line before receiving the call earlier today?"The chubby man asked as he puffed more smoke into the air.The weight of his question was heavy upon his
Immediately Lisa walked into Mr Mark's office.The tension in the air was already heavy enough to make Lisa understand what was really happening."You are the one who told me that Mrs Sandra Douglas was stepping out to go grab a package at the post office right?"Mr Mark asked as he continued pacing around his office, his eyebrows furrowed in a mixture of bewilderment and frustration."Yes sir, a package came in this morning for her at the post office, the call sounded weird.""I actually warned her not to go alone to the post office but she insisted on embarking on the journey alone.""Is there an issue Mr Mark?" Lisa asked as she stared askance at Mr Mark who had his face etched with intense concern."Yes, Lisa, there is a big issue."Mr Mark said, his voice laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety."Sandra is not answering her phone, and she's not back yet.""This is highly unusual, and I have a bad feeling about it."Mr Mark's voice conveyed a sense of urgency as he continued t
"Sorry you said you want to talk to Mr Mark, is there an issue?"Lisa asked as Mr Mark leaned in to hear the ongoing conversation, his eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment as he listened to their conversation."Can you put it on loud speaker?"Mr Mark whispered silently to Lisa as he plopped into the table in front of her.Just then Lisa placed the phone on the table and turned on the loudspeaker.As Lisa placed the phone on the table, the weight of the man's words was like a heavy storm cloud looming over the room, casting a shadow that seemed to swallow the very air.The mysterious caller's voice reverberated, chilling the atmosphere with an icy touch that left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone present."Yes, put Mr Mark on the phone immediately."The voice was even more detached.Mr Mark immediately leaned."Hello, this is Mr Mark, what can I do you for?"Mr Mark asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety."We have Mrs Sandra Douglas, and if you wan
