It was time. Everything was set according to their plans. Amor's army-trained men had scouted the location with the help of that same tiny, undetectable drone and the men were able to locate important spots and entry into the building.The building was a fancy bungalow situated somewhere along the borders of the city, quite far from the main town. The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou

The room was silent. It had been that way for about three hours. Everyone was present in Bella's living room waiting for Sophia's call. Jeremy has been gone for more than twelve hours and with no where to start, they were earnestly waiting for the kidnapper to call and place their demands."Why won't she call already?" Bella was angry and getting frustrated. She just paced round the living room."I sware, if anything happens to me son, I'll hunt Sophia down" She cursed angrily."Darling, relax" Amor spoke to her from the sofa where she sat. "That woman will not hurt Jeremy since she wants to get Invicta. Maybe she is trying to make a full proof plan before calling. Let's wait for her call""That's what I am waiting for" Bella said and continued pacing."Why don't you sir down?" Amor asked her"I'm okay this way" Bella replied.Time was gradually passing by and Sophia had not still called. Alexander was seriously holding in his anger. A glance at him and one could see his bloody eyes a

Sophia and her father made the plans for Jeremy's abduction that night before Sophia returned home. According to their plan, they would spend the next day, monitoring every move Bella and her son would make and then the day after, Jeremy would be successfully abducted. This was for them to be very sure before launching any attack and endangering themselves. Sophia said nothing to Alexander after she returned home that night. Alexander also ignored her presence. Things seemed to be drawing to the end. Alexander could see a life without the troubles of Sophia and her father drawing near and Sophia could see the whole of Invicta becoming hers. Two antagonizing plans of which only one can emerge victorious. Alexander held onto the faith that good will always triumph over evil and he strongly believed so.Alexander was thinking, as he laid on the bed. He had not told his parents about what was going on and he knew that he had to tell them. The problem was how to tell them without Sophia's

Amor's men were able to crack the accounts and they sent all the findings to Amor. It was during the weekend get together for the family, with Christine that Amor revealed the findings. The Michaels were in fact, the dangerous drug cartel terrorising the country. That was how they were able to sustain their dead empire. Bella was shocked and immediately forwarded the message to Alexander.*****The Grandes were having dinner when Alexander's phone chimed and he picked up his phone to read the message Bella had sent him. Sophia had her suspicious eyes on him. With the shocked expression that lasted on his face for a split second, Sophia knew that he was up to something. That message definitely had something to do with her. She was sensitive to remove her gaze from Alexander the very moment he wanted to look at her, just after he had finished reading the message. That gesture confirmed her suspicion. Alexander had something against her and she was immediately anxious. The paperwork was

Bella was stunned by what she was hearing. Her mother was plagued with cervical cancer and was near her death. Tears rolled down her eyes. Bella was no longer sure if she still hated her mother or was pained that she was suffering in sickness and would soon die."How?" Bella managed asked."I don't know....I think it's a punishment for my wrongs" Amor said.Bella felt very bad. That moment she dropped all her anger and hatred and stood up to sit beside her mother. She gave her a long hug in tears before releasing her."I forgive you mother" Bella said."Thank you sweetheart" Amor said, touching Bella cheek lovingly.After enjoying that affectionate moment, Bella spoke;"I'm sure there's a way to cure this.....this cancer thing. It's just money and I can borrow money from someone....." She quickly looked at her father, then back to her mother, "We'll take you to India, where I hear that they are good in medicine. You'll be fine mother, you won't die" "Hey!" Amor called softly, "I've t

Alexander was relaxing in his favourite place, the garden, with some refreshments. The evening was cool and enticing. As he relaxed, he thought of Bella once again, the times they had spent in the garden. It was very beautiful, every moment he had spent with her. He would have her again, he assured himself and took a bite of his snacks.His phone rang and he answered it;"Hey Duke, what do you have for me?" he asked the caller."Nothing much Alex. These accounts you sent me are very very tight. I can't crack them. I've been trying but all seems futile." Duke replied over the phone.That was not the news Alexander wanted to hear."But there's something you can do, definitely" Alexander pleaded"I really need these accounts to be cracked. It's very urgent and very important for me. Surely you must have a way....I.....I'm ready to pay to get it done." Alexander added."Alright Alex. I'll have it sent to a guy I know....and let's see if he can get through it" Duke replied him."Thanks a l

Lucas settled down with Alice by the pool, he joined her in drinking coffee and just chatting casually and laughing. ".....I can't believe you would do a thing like that" Lucas said, chuckling. "I had to" Alice replied, "the man would have gone straight to my father and I would have been severely punished" "Then you would have known better than to steal someone's fruit" Lucas admonished jokingly. "Oh come on. It wasn't stealing. He was just being stingy. Everyone in my village were liberal people, he was the only different one. And in my defense, I was starving" Alice replied. "Were you always this mischievous back home?" he asked her. "I wasn't. That was just one time" Alice said, "I am a very sweet soul" she smiled at him. He was stunned by her beauty for a brief moment, "You are indeed sweet" he said admiringly. Alice trailed off, "Perhaps too sweet for people to take advantage off" her expression saddened. Lucas noticed, "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked,

The night stretched across the ocean, the sky an endless canvas of inky black with scattered stars blinking like secrets whispered by the universe. The ship glided smoothly over the waves, the soft hum of its engines blending with the gentle rustling of the wind. Alice stood at the railing of the deck that same night after her fight with Kelvin, her fingers gripping the cool metal as she stared at the dark horizon. The salt-kissed breeze lifted the ends of her loose hair, brushing against her skin like a fleeting touch. But it was nothing compared to the lingering warmth on her arm—the place where Kelvin had grabbed her. And then, the way he had looked at her afterward, and tended to the wounds afterwards with his eyes laced with something that almost felt like regret, had left her reeling. It was as if, for the first time, he had seen her. And she didn’t know what to do with that. As she moved to the lounge chair, her heart was a battlefield—one side holding onto the pain Kelvin

That same evening, the dance studio was alive with soft Latin music playing in the background as the instructor led the class through warm-up exercises. Kimberly had finished attending to her business and was with Alice for their usual dance class. They had just finished stretching when the doors swung open, and two familiar figures walked in—Daniel and Kelvin together, though they said nothing to each other. Alice's breath caught in her throat. Of all the times for them to show up, why now? She immediately tensed, her gaze darting between them. Kimberly, standing beside her, nudged her playfully. “Well, well, looks like we’ve got some new students and one of them is your husband.” "What's is he even doing here?" Alice asked rhetorically. Alice forced a small smile, though her mind was racing as they approached her and Kimberly. Daniel’s piercing gaze met hers briefly before he looked away, while Kelvin remained neutral, his usual composed expression in place. "I figured, I'

The next two days, Alice kept herself indoors, watching movies, reading her books and spending an unexpected good time with her husband, Kelvin Sander. It was surprising to Alice how Kelvin was friendly with her in contrast to the disgusting look he would always give her. Kelvin wondered at the ease he had started feeling with Alice. That morning, Alice leaned back against the sofa, a small cup of tea in her hands as she and Kelvin shared a rare, casual conversation. The tension between them felt distant, replaced by a tentative ease that neither dared to fully acknowledge. The knock on the door startled them both. “I’ll get it,” Alice said, placing her cup down on the table. She walked to the door, smoothing her hands down her casual blouse before opening it. Kimberly stood on the other side, dressed in a summery outfit with a broad smile on her face. Her expression, however, quickly shifted to mock disapproval as she placed her hands on her hips. “Alice Sanders, where have

Alice made up her mind to keep herself within the confinement of her luxurious suite that day. She wanted to avoid Daniel by all means. The kiss was an indication of trouble for her. She was married and as customs were concerned, she is to be chaste in her marriage. Kissing Daniel was a taboo and her heart skipped for fear whenever she thought what the society would do should such an act be exposed before them. Still, with all the negativity from Daniel kissing her, was a ray of sweetness. Daniel was her first kiss ever. A part of her wished that she was not tied down in a wicked marriage, then she would have probably enjoyed that moment with Daniel. Perhaps, she and Daniel would have been something more than just casual friends. Alice thought it prudent to stay completely away from Daniel. She was married and Grandma Janet would kill her should she ever indulge in anything romantic with Daniel, not to mention the ostracizing by her village and the taunts by the society. After g

Alice sat on the edge of her bed, a towel wrapped around her damp hair and the soft cotton of her robe warming her freshly showered skin. She had just returned from her dance class that evening, and though the session had been enjoyable, her thoughts weren’t on the lessons or the other participants. Instead, they lingered stubbornly on Daniel. Her mind replayed the scene on the deck—the way he had looked at her, the warmth in his touch. And that dance. It had been silly and awkward at first, but when the music shifted, it became something else entirely. Something that made her heart race in a way she hadn’t expected. Alice exhaled sharply and shook her head, as if that would rid her of the thoughts. No, this isn’t right, she told herself. He’s just a friend… nothing more. Kelvin pushed the suite door open, stepping inside with his usual air of entitlement, startling Alice out of her thoughts. As he entered the bedroom, his presence immediately shifted the atmosphere, and Alice’s
