Yvonne arrived at the meeting place. She wondered why the restaurant didn't have a single customer. "You can wait outside." Yvonne said. "Are you sure ma'am? I mean I wonder why there's no customer here." Her guard said. "I guess it's not a very popular restaurant." Yvonne replied. "Miss what would you like to order?" A waitress asked. "Just water, I'm waiting for someone." Yvonne replied. "Okay ma'am." "You can wait outside, I'll be fine really." Yvonne said and the guard decided to go outside. Only for him to be knocked out. The restaurant was actually owned by Cohen. "Take him to the back." Cohen ordered. "Yes boss." Cohen was glad Yvonne sent the guard outside; it just made their job easier. 'I'm in the back of the restaurant. Can you come out to see me?' Sarah texted. 'Dad, why do you want to meet in the back of the restaurant? Just come in, I'm sure my bodyguard won't let me go to the back.' Yvonne replied. "Boss, I think we got a problem. Leonard ac
Reece arrived at the scene and saw Leonard seated with a dejected look. "Mr Cooper." He called out. "Reece you're here." He said sadly "What happened, where is Yvonne?" Reece asked. "Her mother kidnapped her." Leonard replied. "What?" Reece asked. "Yeah Sarah was behind the texts. I just hope my baby is okay." Leonard said. "And what did the police say?" Reece asked. "They're finding a way to track them." Leonard said. "This cannot be happening." Reece said. "Uncle, why are you calling?" Annabelle asked. "It's..." Leonard stammered. "What happened?" "Annabelle, Yvonne's been taken." Leonard replied. "What? What happened to Yvonne?" Annabelle asked. "Sarah kidnapped her and they're in the wind." "And the police?" Annabelle asked. "They haven't been able to track them... Annabelle, I'm worried. She held a knife to Yvonne's neck. What if Yvonne upsets her and she decides to kill her." Leonard said. "Calm down. I'm sure that wouldn't happen, no matter what, a
Yvonne looked around the room she was in. Sarah locked her in the room and she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Even if Annabelle asked her to. She remembered the structure wasn't a multi story so she can actually climb out right. She decided she was going to jump out the window. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt, she just wants to go home. And since Annabelle was on her way she should go meet them. Yvonne began bringing everything in the room together and she was determined to get herself out of the room. **** "Are you sure there would be high security there?" Reece asked. "I'm sure I'm telling you, you need to be careful it's Sarah after all." Leonard said. "So I already called for backup..." Annabelle said. "Some of my guards are on standby." Reece said as well. "I just hope Sarah doesn't figure this out before we get there." Leonard said. "Do you really think she can hurt Yvonne?" Reece asked. "She might use her as a hostage again." Annabelle said.
Deep down Arthur was a lot more nervous than Charlotte but he didn't want to show it. Harold would definitely call him a coward after this. And he didn't want that. Besides, he has to be brave for Charlotte's sake. His employees were surprised to see their boss with that lady from the other day. They all did gossip about it but they didn't think it was so serious. They wondered who the pretty lady was, or if she had anything to do with their boss. They always wondered if he was gay but kept it to themselves of course. But seeing Charlotte now kinda reminded them of someone or something. "Good evening everyone." Arthur said, "Well first I would like to thank you all for your dedication and the sacrifices you've made. Our success wouldn't have been possible if you all didn't put in your best to our latest game launch. And now we have many more investor's wanting to partner with us and that's all because of your dedication." Everyone available applauded. "Well to our fut
Yvonne had just jumped out the window successfully when she heard Sarah calling for her. She sprained her ankle on her way down and found it hard to move. She stayed there for a while and finally began walking away slowly. She couldn't afford to make a sound and get caught again. Yvonne heard the sound of a car pullover and thought maybe it was Annabelle and her team. She decided to go see what's going on and soon saw the building was on fire. Yvonne panicked and began running toward Annabelle and her dad because she didn't want to get burnt but she saw her mom not giving herself up she guessed they were arguing over her. "No Yvonne." She heard Reece yell. He was there too? "How dare you burn the building when you know your daughter is still in there you witch." Leonard glared and almost went to slap Sarah across the face. "Are you nuts Leonard, I am holding a gun here and if you don't go back I will shoot you without batting an eye." Sarah threatened. Yvonne hastened
Cleopatra stayed with Jordan till he finally stopped crying. "Come let's go to your room." Cleopatra said. She felt it was a good thing she waited up for him else he might wallow up in his pain without anyone knowing about it. Cleopatra watched Jordan sleep and sighed. It was one of the rarest moments she saw him cry. She wondered what happened to him. She decided to go to her room and get some rest herself. It's been a long day. **** Arthur took Charlotte home with a bright smile on his face. "Thanks for dropping me off." Charlotte said. "Why would you even say such a thing? It's my duty as your fiance to drop you home." Arthur said. "Okay thanks fiance for doing your job." Charlotte said and Arthur laughed. "I still can't believe we're engaged." Arthur smiled. "I know I'm finding it hard to believe it myself. Which is why sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you." Charlotte said. "Charlotte don't you ever say that." Arthur said and added; "I promise I'll nev
Lucian walked into the house and saw that almost everyone had arrived except Lily and her family. He was really hoping she would be here already. "Good evening." Lucian greeted with a smile. "Lucian, it's good to see you." Aiden Stark said. "Likewise." Lucian said. "Hi, Uncle Peterson." Lucian greeted his host. "Hey little man, how are you?" Peterson asked. "I'm good." Lucian replied. "Aunt Claudia, my mom asked me to give you this." Lucian said, handing the box to her. "Oh she didn't need to give me anything." Claudia said. "Well she loves making it up to people, that's just how my mom is. So please accept it or she will blame me." Lucian said. "Relay my thanks to her." Claudia said, collecting it from him. "I will." Lucian replied. Lilly and her parents walked in and Lucian sighed at least he wouldn't be the only young one in here. "Sorry we're late." Brenda said. "Evening grandpa." Lily greeted with a smile. "Hi, my pretty princess." Aiden smiled at L
"What? Why?" Claudia asked Peterson. "Yeah Peterson why?" Mr Preston asked. "I... just don't want to and besides Claudia is supposed to be your company's heir not me." Peterson said. "Dad, I'll talk to Peterson about this,you and mom can go home." Claudia said with a smile. "Okay dear." Mr Preston said, pecking his daughter. "Peterson, think about it." Mr Preston said before walking away. "Uncle Peterson, take care of aunt Claudia for me okay?" Lily said with a smile. "Of course I will, she's my wife." Peterson said, pecking Lily and added, "Bye beautiful." "Good night uncle, I'll see you soon. Bye Aunt Claudia." Lily said. "Bye." Claudia waved. Lily hurriedly went to Lucian who was about to leave. "Hey." She called. "Oh Lily." "You're leaving with saying goodbye to me?" Lily pouted. "Sorry." Lucian apologized. "Do you want to come visit me tomorrow since your parents are away?" Lily asked. "Actually I have plans tomorrow." Lucian said. "What plans?" L
