Chapter: CHAPTER 94Detective Jameson's eyes narrowed as he watched Charlie being handcuffed and led away. The confession had come unexpectedly, but the motive was all too familiar. "Revenge," he muttered to his partner. "The oldest motive in the book." Rodriguez, Jameson's partner shook her head. "Family dynamics can be toxic. Brothers, especially." As Charlie was taken into custody, Elisa finally felt a sense of closure. Her daughter, Emily, was safe, and the kidnapper had been caught. But the truth was harder to swallow. Charlie, her husband's brother abd the man whom she had once thought of soending her life with had orchestrated the kidnapping. "It was all about revenge," Charlie spat during the interrogation. " He took everything from me – our parents' attention, the family business... He left me with nothing." Jameson's expression remained stoic. "And you thought kidnapping an innocent child would even the score?" Charlie's eyes flashed with anger. "You don't understand. Russellalways got e

Chapter: CHAPTER 93“What are you doing here?” He asked, composing himself and trying to pretend like he wasn’t affected by my presence but I could see through his charade. He wa spanicking a lot and although he thought that his hideout had been pretty secure, here i was standing right there in the flesh. Still, he couldn't show his fears or he was going to appear guilty.“What do you mean?” I came to see you.” I replied, pretending to play his game.“Cut the crap Russ. What are you doing here and how the fuck did you find me?”“What can i say? I was just passing by. i mean i was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by to say hello to my only brother.”At my words, he huffed and went over to his bedside to put on his shirt, and boxers on pretending to ignore me."Are you going to stand there and watch me get dressed?" He asked probably in a bid to get rid of me."Its nothing i've not seen before so you can relax."Charlie sighed in frustration at my adamancy.“Well, you’ve said hello now so you can

Chapter: CHAPTER 92I had faced a lot of challenges in my life. I mean, that was avoidable considering what i had achieved. No great achievement came without challenges and I was proud to say that I was fairly successful myself. I also prided myself in the knowledge that I was a troubleshooter and a problem solver. I always had an idea on how to get out of complicated situations, and if i couldn't get an answer right away, all i had to do was sleep over it and come morning, I'd have a solution on my hand.But two days had passed and I was yet to discover a solution to my most prominent life problem. My daughter was missing and I had no idea where she was or where to look. With every passing day, I felt as though the very world in which I live d was crumbling in on me and I simply felt suffocated and helpless. The police had no leads and the one sure lead I had; they were not giving me the go ahead to look into. They weren’t looking into it themselves either or at least they weren’t look into it fast eno

Chapter: CHAPTER 91“But according to Miss. Jones’ statement,” The judge continued. “It appears that she told you that she was pregnant but you refused to acknowledge it and rather accused her of lying.”“That’s true your honor.” Charlie agreed. “But in my defense, the first time she told me about her pregnancy, she called me through my brother’s phone. Now prior to the time, she and my brother Russell had never met before. In fact, I had never even told her that I had a brother, so it didn’t make sense to me that she was calling me from his phone. I took it as it was a prank planned by my brother seeing as my brother and I often play such pranks on each other.”Wow, Charlie was really going in for the kill with his calculated lies and fabricated lines. I never knew he had it in him, but then again, he had enough money to hire the best lawyers to give him legal advice. But unfortunately for him, our lawyers were just as good, maybe even better, and that is why he was bound to lose.“You claim that you lo

Chapter: CHAPTER 90As expected, the news that Charlie was suing for custody spread like wildfire. In less than 24 hours, media houses had carried the news. Social media hashtags were eating this up and even my family and friends somehow got a wind of the situation. My phone was constantly pinging with calls and texts and calls and Russell’s phone was honesty not any different. At this point, I had still not gotten around to telling my parents the real story behind how Russell and I met and the circumstances surrounding our marriage so when I received a call from them as well, my anxiety creeped in. I thought about ignoring them for a little while longer, just until I could gather my thoughts and gains dome courage, but with the issue of Emily’s paternity being debated, I knew that there was no more hiding it from them. So the very next day, I got on a flight and flew home. Russell offered to go with me and knowing how much I hated flying, I honestly wished he could accompany me. Him holding my hand duri

Chapter: CHAPTER 89Elisa’s POV“…And you should have seen April’s face. She looked like someone who had swallowed a turtle shell. And Amy, she was so horrified, she couldn’t even bring herself to say hello to me. Apparently, they hadn’t been expecting me to show up as soon as I did. They thought that I’ll take at least a couple of days off, giving them enough time to recuperate and get used to the latest developments.” I said laughing. After the close of work, I decided to use my evening to give Russell a recap of my day and apparently he had some pretty satisfying stories to share as well.“I thought you said Amy was the nicer one?” He asked, fully invested in my story. “How comes she is the one who couldn’t stand to speak to you." “Honestly, she and Amy switch up on most days and I can hardly choose which of them I prefer. I think that they both have their moments.”“Hmmm.” Russell replied thoughtfully. “I Can’t even tell them apart honestly. They look exactly the same to me.”“No they do not.” I rep

Owned by the mafia lord.
You are mine now! The sooner you get used to that fact, the better its gonna be for you."
"I belong to no one but myself." Nicole cried, but the terrifying mafia man only laughed.
"I guess we'll have to see about that."
Nicole Meyer was the only daughter of Christopher Meyer, a heartless and ruthless man whose only concern was fame, wealth and power, and he was willing to sacrifice everything to aquire those things, even at the expense of his own daughter.
He had just decided to marry her off to one of his friends for a business alliance, but Nicole decided that she would rather die than marry that man. She was also tired and frustrated of living like a slave in her own father's house so on the day of her wedding, she escaped in her white dress and tried to end it all, but she was rescued by a man whom she later discovered was the head of a dangerous mafia chain.
"You were going to end it anyway so clearly you didn't have any need to live. I rescued you so now your life belong to me and i'm going to do with it as i damn well please."
"Please don't hurt me." Nicole begged, her lips quivering.
"Hurt you?" The man asked. "And just why would i do that when you are the very thing i've been searching for?"
"I...i..am?" She stamerred in confusion.
"Of course you are darling." He replied, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You are going to be my bride and the one that is going to producd me an heir."

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 The wedding was happening one week earlier than Nicole had expected. Apparently perverted old men didn't take too kindly to being kicked in the balls even though preying on innocent young girls was one of their favourite pastimes. Don Matteo wasn't any different and after Nicole had so painfully "assaulted" him as he elaborately worded it, he went straight to her father to voice his concerns. Like the manipulated bastard that he was, he told Nicole's father that he was no longer sure if he wanted the marriage as his safety and wellbeing was now in question. Obviously her father was quick to beg for his forgiveness on her behalf and also urge him not to give up on his daughter. He even added that Nicole was only acting childish and marriage was the very thing she needed if she was going to grow up and start acting mature and who better to teach his daughter the ways of the world than his long time friend now turned brother. Don Matteo made it seem like he was the one doing Christop

Chapter: CHAPTER 2Nicole was not wrong.Her father wasted no time in bringing up the issue. In fact, for dinner the very next day, he prepared what one would call a mini banquet, consisting of foods fruits, meats and wine of all kinds. Apparently he felt the need to do something grand to commemorate his big announcement and the expansion of his empire that would come about as a result....She was not impressed. To be quie honest, she found the whole situation rather wasteful especially since her appetite was nowhere to be found for obvious reasons. But even if she was hungrier than a starved lion, there was only so much food she could eat and eventually, the rest soul go to waste.While her father excitedly barked out orders to the poor servants who were running helter skelter to make sure that everything was perfect, Nicole sat idly in her chair, tossing her lunch around on her plate. She was yet to take even one bite, neither did she feel motivated to. Moreover, she knew that even if she tried, it wo

Chapter: CHAPTER 1Nicole stood trembling behind the tall double doors that seperated the living room area from the dining area of her father's luxurious mansion. Her breathing had fallen into an uneven rhythm and she feared that her legs might give out from underneath her if she didn't find a way to stabilize herself. "No, no, no...This can't be happening." She lamented to herself, not after everything she had done for him. He couldn't do this to her, not after everything she had sacrificed for him, he simply couldn't. It was simply not fair. And yet here she was. Nicole had realized early in life that she didn't mean much to her father. To him, she was nothing but a sure means to an end and although she had long since reconciled herself with that fact, there were certain things she never assumed her father could do to her, certain lines she never once assumed he could cross and making plans to marry her off to an old bastard who could father her two times over if he damn well tried was one of t
