Hannah was the happiest on the day she was to go home. Declan had excused himself from work. It had been the longest two months of their lives, waiting for their babies to develop fully.
Declan could count the number of days he had been absent from the hospital in a day. It was his usual run immediately after work and he enjoyed doing it.
The feeling that came with having children to protect created a kind of ego on his part. He loved the feeling. It was fulfilling.
Doctor Pat came in to do the final checkups and confirmed that she was fit as a fiddle. She no longer experienced pain and she could move without the wheelchair.
Everything about it made her happy. She could not wait to get back to her normal life.
Declan paced about the study. The call had unsettled him, and he had quickly withdrawn from the party, and came into the study. At this point, he wished he was still in touch with the police. The FBI had advised him to leave his phone connected to their system so that they would trace Daniel further. He had not paid much heed to the advice. Even if he had left them the access they needed, it may not have helped because it was a private number. But there was something that could be done by their department at least. This was the kind of loose end that Daniel would never let go of. But here he was, regretting that he had not done the needful. Nothing prepared him for this call from Daniel. Al
Declan's thoughts rummaged through his mind. He thought of a hundred and one reasons why he should not go see Micheal, but the most important reason why he should go see him seemed to outweigh those reasons.Samantha had assured him of a new game plan and was already putting a financial team in place to foot that plan.She had been working round the clock with the new team to ensure that the plan was fully effective.He marveled at how much work she had been doing to ensure that the company was secured. But he remembered, she was just like Abigail, making a promise to give back what has been done for them.He always thought that the 'what goes around comes around' proverb was just an ordinary
The ride to the highly secured safehouse was long and Abigail had looked out the window most of the time.Declan was focused on work on his laptop. He was in a zoom meeting with some members of the staff, and their new clients.Samantha was present and she scribbled at intervals. He saw the full concentration she gave in the meeting, her forehead was narrowed, and her thin glass frame suited her face.He wondered how she was so perfect. He kept stealing glances at her, and on one or two occasions, he had forgotten that it was his turn to speak.He was lost in her. He would call her later and tell her about how captivating she looked during the meeting, and how he could not take his eyes off her.
Declan stayed over at the safe house for the next two days. He struggled to figure out who was on the other side of the line. Hannah was in danger, and he knew it.They had agreed that she would return to work. At this point, it did not seem like the best idea. The person that was after her life was out there, and he would not put her life at such risk.The flight back to the island was long, as he had used a chopper. Abigail had stayed back to continue her work and manage her company.She wanted her children to go home with him, but her so-called husband would not allow it to happen. He stated that he did not want his children to be far from where he was.Hannah was the first person he met when he stepp
Ferdinand saw the first sign of wrong timing in Abigail's eyes when she opened the door for him.He knew she was not too pleased to see him at the moment, but he had already come all the way.She had flashed him a fake smile as she let him in"You did not tell me that you were coming," she began as she nervously looked over her shoulders."Is there anybody in there?" He asked her quietly."Does he or she want to hurt you?" He asked again immediately."No, not at all," she said, taking his bag from him and leading him into the house.She offered him a seat and went to get him a drink. The door t
"You should be more careful next time," Daniel barked at him. He was still taken aback by shock, and could not make out what Daniel had just said.When their eyes locked for the second time, Daniel's eyes flickered with recognition, which he quickly brushed off."I am deeply sorry," Ferdinand said, as he helped him with his bag and turned to leave immediately.Daniel did not recognize him, and it was better that way. But Abigail was with him, and if he saw Abigail, then he would not be safe either.As he moved back to the table where he had sat with Abigail, he glanced back at Daniel. He was wearing a hoodie, that had him all covered up.It was probab
Samantha glanced at her wristwatch impatiently as she sat in the living room with the wedding planner. They had finally decided that it was high time they were immersed in their work.The past few weeks had been hectic for them both and they had barely had time to see each other.Samantha wanted to plan the entire wedding herself. She did not want anything elaborate at all but had always looked on the side of extravagance. Declan was in full support. He only wanted her to be happy.Samantha apologized to the petite lady that was the wedding planner as she glanced impatiently at her wristwatch again.She had told him of this meeting earlier in the day, and it was already thirty minutes past the agre
Ferdinand watched Daniel as he made his way to the counter. He took down his hoodie and looked around with wary eyes before he ordered his food.He soon headed to a table at the far end of the restaurant and sat with his back to everyone else. Ferdinand's eyes did not leave him as he ate silently and tapped away on a phone.In a swift movement, Daniel turned and their gaze met for a few seconds. Ferdinand looked away very quickly, and Daniel turned around again.When he was done eating, he stood up immediately and headed for the door. Ferdinand took the last sip of his drink and headed out immediately, following after him quietly.After some long minutes of walking, Daniel dashed into a club. Ferdi
