Throughout, the kids were restless since they have no idea what was going on. They haven't seen their mom and their dad since he saved them from the wicked men."I'm pretty sure everything is going to be fine," Joseph spoke out, shaking his head at their brooding expressions as he came out of the kitchen."Don't talk to us, Joseph." Damien shunned him in a bad mood.Joseph took a seat on the couch by their left. "I understand you guys detest me, but I'm sure you've understood why. I'm not a bad person, you know."Damien scoffed. "Whatever.""He's right." James chimed in, coming out of his room. He closed his door shut and walked closer to the kids. "He's also a victim." He made known, sitting down on the couch opposite Joseph.The kids kept quiet wanting him to talk further."He's a kid without parents. Homeless. He saw an opportunity and grabbed it.

He couldn't believe it. His... His wife got shot. "Alexa." It came out with a shaky breath.Her breathing was heavy, she was finding it hard to even say anything to him."We need an ambulance." Leo's voice came out shaky once again, but the war was still going on."This shouldn't have happened." The boss's voice was filled with regret."I'm sorry, boss. She came in the way." Mason apologized.Leo sighted Harrison and his goon hiding and immediately knew they were the ones who shot his wife. He knew they were hiding, but he thought it was just to save themselves from being shot.Fury tore through him. He didn't wanna kill anyone, but he was not ready for that man to go scot

(November 3rd. Wednesday)Leo stopped his car and came out of it arriving at the place Harrison Lewis said they should meet. It was like an isolated express where people and cars don't really pass through.His eyes were fixated on the old man and the other guy standing next to him and behind them was their car.It was obvious the old man was Harrison Lewis and it made him realize he actually never met him til now."It's an honor to meet you, Leonard Hodge. I'm honest." Harrison said with a smile.Leo looked around the old man since there was just one thing on his mind and that was saving his precious kids."Where are my kids?" Leo asked really wanting to see them.Harrison nodded. "Yeah." He looked at Mason. "Bring them out."Mason nodded walked to the car and opened it. He urged the kids to come out which they immediately did since they saw their father.Leo's eyes softened as he saw his kids.

The boss looked around the whole room, nodding his head and showing how pleased he was with it. "I didn't know you bought a house here, Mason."Mason nodded. "Yes, boss. It was actually for a reason, though."The boss looked at him. "I'm thankful you came back, but I've been having this burning question. How did you know?"Mason sighed. "It's Carmen, boss.""Carmen? Don't understand.""You said I should trail her on which I did. I was shocked when I heard her speaking to Leo via voicemail about what she's done for him. She was...she was the traitor, boss."The boss blinked and stumbled back a little due to missing his steps. "No. No way."Mason nodded. "It shocked and angered me. It was through her I know of the raid."The boss let out a shaky breath, finding it unbelievable. "Can't believe this. Where's she now?"Mason looked away. "I had no choice.""No choice on what?" The boss asked inquisitively."My...my anger got the best of me, boss. I shot her on the spot." Mason dropped hopi

Leonard's heart felt like it was put on a stake as he kept pacing on the porch of his house, looking worried and extremely restless.It's been hours since the mission to get his kids safe and sound, but he hasn't gotten anything. All he could get was a stupid voicemail from Carmen making him wonder how much senseless she can be.His phone began ringing making him stop in his tracks. He looked to see it was Emily and for some reason, he just felt there was bad news coming and he could only hope he was wrong."Emily..." He said after taking a calm breath. He heard her clear her throat making him sigh. "Don't tell me it's bad news.""I'm sorry, Leo. We had it all covered thinking everyone was where they were meant to be, but we were taken by surprise. Harrison Lewis and one other together with your kids escaped."Leo rubbed his head in frustration, feeling so annoyed and knowing the choice he was now left with. "We failed then. We lost our only chance.""Leo, there could be another way."

"Boss, just give me the go-ahead and I'll kill Andrew this instant," Jaguar stated with a sneer formed on his face.The boss shook his head in disagreement before looking up at Jaguar. "I've told you, Jaguar, bring him to me instead. How hard could that be?""Well, boss, it wouldn't be due to friendly conversation. If I'm gonna bring him here, it will be out of duress. I just wanna be sure if that's what you want."The boss gave him a blank look, his mind going to different places as he pondered on the statement, then he let out a wry chuckle. "I need information from him, Jaguar. He's the only way right now to know what's going on out there. I hate the fact that I know nothing.""We can force things out of him..."The door suddenly opened, causing the boss to look and Jaguar to turn toward it. They were both surprised at who decided to visit."You don't have to," Andrew noted with a smirk written on his face.The boss furrowed his brows in confusion. "And what does that mean, Andrew?

It was late at night, Alex and Elena were lying on the bed with Alex facing the ceiling and Elena's head and hand placed on his body. It was quiet for a while, especially since he has things to think about.Not just their impending problem but there is also work. He just couldn't wait to clear the danger out of his family so they can just peacefully live."Are you awake?" He asked."No," Elena answered, her head still on his chest, counting the steady beats of his heart."There's something important I want to talk to you about."Elena furrowed her brows in curiosity and rose her head up to look at him. "About what?""He looked at her. " I uh, I found your dad."Her eyes widened and she sat up. "What?"He nodded and equally sat up. "Yeah. I found him.""Who...who is he?" She quickly asked, needing an urgent answer."My godfather, Brian Jordan. I'm sure you've met him."Elena blinked and looked away, remembering the man. She swallowed as she kept thinking about him like his image was go

Brian entered the coffee shop and spotted Alex so focused on his tablet. He's been wondering what serious conversation Alex wanted to lay on the table. He knew everything with Alex was serious.He walked toward the table and sat down. "So, I'm here."Alex dropped the tablet on the table and looked at him. He wanted to hit the nail on the head. "The last time we talked, I told you about someone who seems to be after your daughters. I told you I know you know who is after them."Brian grimaced, looking confused. "Yeah, but I didn't get it.""Who took your girls away from you?" Alex questioned.Brian sighed. "It was someone I know who has a vendetta against me. Although there was no evidence to prove it, I know he kidnapped my children.""Who is he then?" Alex inquired."Jacob Jefferson. Once a friend, then he became an enemy."Alex bobbed his head, digesting his words. "Jacob Jefferson. He's the boss.""What boss?""The mastermind. The reason why everything happened. You must have thoug

Alex alighted out of his car and hurriedly walked toward his porch since he knows Elena was there waiting for her. As he arrived, she immediately pulled him into a hug. "You're here at last. I've been waiting."Alex nodded, caressing her back. "I know." He pulled her away a little so he could look at her. "Are you okay, though?""I'm terrified, Alex. They said those people were after me. Someone died, why the hell are these things happening?" She anxiously replied.Alex shook his head. "Still figuring things out, really. It had to have been the main mastermind behind it. I just don't know why he's after you. Soon I will though."Elena sighed. "Okay. Let's...let's go in. You should freshen up too. The kids will soon be back from school."Alex nodded. "Okay." They walked in, holding hands, then his phone buzzed.He stopped in his tracks as he saw it was a message from his brother."What's it?" Elena asked him."Andrew sent me a message. He's been trying to talk to me for a while now." A

Elena smiled at the cashier as her goods were given to her. "Thanks." She said, taking it and leaving the grocery store.The bags were immediately taken by the guards Alex placed for her protection. "Let's hold them for you." One of them said and the other took them.Elena smiled and nodded.A call on her phone made her stop and she took it. "Hello, who's this?""It's your assistant, ma'am. I'm wondering how long you'll be back with the groceries. You could have just let me do the job."Elena chuckled, taking slow steps. "I guess. That will be after I slowly get used to getting someone to buy my groceries. I'm already out though, I'm just going to my car.""Okay."Elena nodded and hung the call-up. She looked at one of the guards. "The car?""Henry is bringing it." The guard informed.Elena nodded and stood as she waited.Just as immediately, she instinctively ducked and yelped at the sound of a gunshot hitting the glass doors. "Oh, God." She gasped as the gunshot kept coming."Ma'am,

Cora phoned Brian excessively but nothing and it bothered her. She wondered why he was ignoring her and it infuriated her.She sucked from a straw the coffee she ordered and leaned back against the chair. Looking at the door at any sudden chime of the bell expecting Brian to walk in.She sighed since deep down she knew he won't come. She messaged him too but of course, he should also not give a damn about her messages.She shudder to wonder why he was being that way toward her or did he find out things about her. Did he investigate who she is and ended up left in the lurch? It had to have been the circumstance.She groaned realizing she was failing. It's not as if she lied that much. What rotten thing is there to dig up about her?Or did he get tired? Did he get fed up or he just doesn't want to involve himself with another woman since according to him, his heart is forever for his wife? She cringed at that thought.She's gonna have to come up with something else and this time, she ca
