As soon as Abigail left the house, Declan went to the bedroom where he had kept Samantha. He stepped in very quietly. Her legs were wrapped in bandages that helped to stop the bleeding. She was fast asleep on her side, and he crept up behind her and held her, planting a kiss on her cheek before he held her close to him."You're here," she said in a sleepy voice with her eyes still closed. "I'll always be here, baby," he said to her, snuggling her to himself and closing any iota of distance between them.They lay in silence for a while, listening to each other's heartbeat for a while before Declan finally summoned the courage to break the news to her."I have decided for you to get help," he said to her. She did not move for the first few seconds. Declan checked if she was asleep. Her eyelids quivered, and it suggested that she was still awake."I'll take you there myself the day after tomorrow," he said again. "I'm going to miss you," he added. She stirred and turned around to fac
Daniel had searched the house for the files that contained his business deals. It already had his signature and that of his partner, and he knew that if it got into the wrong hands, he could be in danger.He tried to reminisce about the events of the day he was arrested. Abigail had come into the station shortly after he was arrested, and he knew immediately that she was responsible for hiding away his files. She could easily detect what was in it and use it against him, and he could be in deep trouble if it was found out, not just with the police, but with his business partners.To ensure that their tracks were adequately covered, they would kill him and probably burn him to pieces, or chop his body into tiny bits. He called Abigail immediately, and she picked up on the first ring."I think you have something that is mine," he said to her, without any exchange of pleasantries. He heard her scoff and went silent. He could only hear soft taps on a computer keyboard, and he suggest
Patricia froze as she looked up at Daniel with the gun in his hand. She knew he was a lunatic and would pull the trigger if she disobeyed him and made a sound. She had her hand to her mouth as she pleaded with him to let go of her son.It was his son too but Daniel did not care about the child. If Damian stood in the way of his plan, he would end his life right on the spot without a second thought. It was the extent of his brutality.She silently prayed that someone was watching the CCTV footage at that time, but she knew that the room was empty most of the time because the house was always secure."Is there another exit?" He asked her with the gun still pointed at her. She shook her head in astute confusion."You think I'm here to play?" He asked her in a stern voice. "I'll put a hold through your head if you refuse to tell me what I needed to know," he said, still livid. Damian began to cry out aloud, and Daniel rocked him gently, but he would not keep shut."Show me the door," he
Hannah watched Dante have a blast with her kids as she feigned a smile all along. She wished that she could turn back the hands of the clock and not even introduce him to her kids.They finally slept off and he tucked them in bed nicely, a gesture that was supposed to warm her heart but it did not because she was annoyed at him.He soon came out to meet her at the kitchen counter where she sat down with a cup of coffee."Beautiful kids you have there, Han," he said to her as he planted a kiss on her forehead and took a seat before her. That was when he sensed her rigidity."What's wrong?" He asked her, sipping his cup of coffee. He had wanted no sugar at all but he decided to manage what she had offered him. "Are you married?" Hannah asked, dropping the bombshell immediately. He looked at her in a bit of amazement but she would not budge, would not succumb to his deals this time."Of course, I am married," he replied without batting an eyelid. "But that does not mean that things can
A tinge of guilty conscience had pricked Abigail since the last time she had visited Frank.She had promised him a possible chance for release or a reduced sentence if he have her access to a piece of evidence against Daniel.She had not been to the station to see him since she took the tape recording.She did not know how to face him, as it seemed like she had robbed him of something. She had no idea how he would feel about it.As she sat in her office that day, she could barely get any work done. A plethora of thoughts rummaged through her mind, not only because of Daniel and his schemes, but also because she sought a way to redeem the father of her kids, who had been behind bars for a crime that he wo
Abigail showed Declan the message Daniel had sent to her and he flipped."Who does he think that he is? We have to submit to his bullshit every single time?"He said in a loud voice, and Abigail was sure that her closed office door would be the center of attraction on the other side of it.She had never seen Declan shaken with so much rage."I am dealing with a lot of things right now and this bastard should not have the right to make matters worse," he continued, still in a fit of rage."I'm going to deal with this once and for all," he said as he stormed out of the office with Abigail trailing behind him.
Daniel froze as soon as a squad encircled him, and so did Patricia. She knew that he had made a call to Abigail, but it had taken some days and she did not think that they would come for her, at least not until she was dead and long forgotten, just as Daniel has threatened her.Abigail rushed to her immediately to untie her, first removing the gag that enclosed her mouth, while Declan hurried to pick up his nephew Damian from where he played in the sand."Daddy!" the little boy called out to him excitedly. Since he had been taking care of Patricia and him, she had made her son regard him as his father.Declan did not see so much wrong in that. It was hectic that he had other people's children look up to him as a father, which he had no problem with, but he could not have a child of his own.
Declan thought that it had been a while since he saw Hannah. She had barely spoken to him since he chose to send Samantha to the facility. The day she visited, Samantha had not been in a good position with her, and it had fueled her withdrawal.He had however kept her updated about the ongoings, and when she found out that Samantha was leaving, she was not too happy about it.It was a cool Sunday evening and he knew she would be home. She had asked Doctor Pat to always allow her off work on Sundays because she needed to spend some quality time with her kids for the intense week ahead.He decided to head there, and he got a box of toys on his way for the kids that regarded him as their father.He was not sure if he sti
