The weight of the question from Sandra Douglas hung in the air as she tried to decipher what Alex Waynee really meant by his statement.The situation was intense, each moment pregnant with anticipation and the unspoken promise of impending confrontation.Sandra, still reeling from the audacity of the Louis family's ultimatum, struggled to grasp the depth of Alex Waynee's confidence.Walking closer to Sandra Douglas, Alex Waynee stares more deeply into her eyes.He could feel her heart race at an unprecedented speed."What I meant was do you believe the Louis family, the family that humiliated you all because of me.""The family that humiliated me at their daughter's birthday, the family that just gave you an ultimatum to resign just because of your love for me.""Do you believe that Mr Louis will lose his job tomorrow before noon?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared deeply into the eyes of Sandra Douglas.Sandra Douglas stood there, her eyebrows furrow
At the Louis mansion, Mr Louis is pacing around in his mansion, his face etched with a mixture of concern and anxiety as he stared askance at Kate who had just broken the bad news to him.Kate was sitting on the floor breathing heavily.Tears wells down her eyes as she tried to articulate what really happened at the road."Tell me Kate, what really happened?'"How could this even be?""How were your siblings kidnapped all of a sudden?"Mr Louis asked, his voice was barely above whispers as he paced around the living room.The opulent light of the chandelier had now turned the room into a dark fortress for Mr Louis and Kate Louis.The situation was intense and palpable as Mr Louis stared into the ceiling, tears wells down his eyes profusely hitting the rugged floor."Dad I can't really explain, all I could remember was…"Kate Louis went blank, the tears flowing from eyes were now like a dam raging out of control.Gazing at her daughter, Mr Louis immediately screamed, "The only thing yo
Mr Louis' voice was with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation as he cautiously answered the unknown caller.The seconds stretched like elastic bands, tension mounting with each passing moment."Mr Louis," a low, modulated voice came through the line, deliberate and tinged with an air of ominous certainty. "I believe we need to talk."The speaker's voice was barely above whispers and laced with authority.The hairs on Mr Louis' neck stood on end. "Who is this?"How did you get this number?"The weight of his question hung in the air, echoing through the receiver. Silence stretched, pregnant with unspoken threats."You don't need to know who I am, I don't need to tell you anything about me.""What's imperative is that you follow my instructions precisely if you want to see your children again." The cold and detached voice of Mr Eric Raymond commanded.Mr Louis' mind raced, grappling with fear and determination."I need proof that they're safe. I won't go anywhere until I know my c
Mr Louis's hand was wobbly as he stared at the message."What the hell?""What is this supposed to mean?"Mr Louis asked, his eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment as he and Kate Louis stared at the message on his phone.Kate Louis couldn't believe her eyes, what they were staring at was far from what they were expecting as a term from Jose and Kelly's adopters.Mr Louis walked over to his wine cellar and poured some cognac into a cup that already held ice cubes in it.Taking a gulp, he stared askance into the ceiling.Picking up the phone Mr Louis had left on the table, Kate Louis refreshed the message to make sure that it was really the message they were expecting."Dad, this is just weird and disturbing.""They want you to resign as the Chairman of the Financial union of the region?"Kate Louis asked, her voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and intrigue. They were both taken aback by the unexpected nature of the demand. Mr Louis's mind raced, trying to comprehend the motiv
"Are you guys sure that Mr Louis would really take the bait and tender his resignation all because of his children?""I mean guys, the position of the chairman of the financial union of this particular region is to die for."Alex Waynee said, his voice barely above whispers and laced with reason.He and John Paul were on the first floor of the center where they had taken Jose Louis and his sister Kelly.From the top the both of them gazed down at Eric Raymond and Evans Raymond who were watching Kelly Louis and her brother.They were communicating with each other via wired earset."Definitely.""Mr Louis loves his children so much that he would do anything for them.""It was because of them that he actually met your grandfather, Lord Wayne, to make him the chairman of the financial union of the region."The voice of Eric Raymond was barely above whispers as he narrated everything to Alex Waynee over the wired earset."So you guys believe it would work?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice lac
"Who are we?...Not quite important kiddo.""What matters most is that your father, Mr Louis complies to our request and resigns as the chairman of the financial union of the region immediately."Eric Raymond said, his voice barely was a bit haunty as he stared askance at Alex Waynee and John Paul who were now downstairs with them.The weight of what he just said hit Jose Louis and Kelly Louis like a ton of bricks, their expressions shifting from confusion to a mixture of fear and disbelief.Kelly's eyes widened, darting around as if searching for an escape but the blindfold was really doing a great job blocking her eyesight."What are you talking about?""You mean you want our dad to resign as the chairman of the financial union of this region?""Was that the whole point of this kidnap?"Kelly Louis asked, her voice was a bit vehement as she shook herself vigorously on the chair where she was tied."I'm afraid yes...that is the whole point of this... whatever you call it."Eric Raymon
Alex Waynee's gaze laced with surprise and anxiety almost betrayed him."Well I didn't do anything, I just dreamt and it came to pass." Alex Waynee said, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at Sandra Douglas in a mixture of concern and anxiety.Sandra Douglas stared at Alex Waynee with her face etched with intense skepticism.Sandra Douglas eyes bore into Alex Waynee seemingly searching for any telltale signs of deception."Alex Waynee, this isn't the first time something you've said or 'dreamt' has influenced such a critical event."Sandra remarked, her tone edged with a blend of frustration and concern."Sandra Douglas well you made by right, but you really have to believe me."Alex Waynee said, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at Sandra Douglas.Sandra Douglas placed around the room, her heels clicking against the floor in a rhythmic pattern that echoed the tension in the air."I find it hard to believe that you're merely a spectator in these events, e
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
