Chapter: Step ahead Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update? I waited for your call yesterday since you said you were going to call. “Yeah yeah,Lena. I’m on it. I was going to call you yesterday but something came up, my guys suggested we hang out with some hot chick, I came home pretty wasted. Anyways, I just got a lead. But I need to ask you something, thought you said you only have one child?” Lena sighed,” yes,why?” She asked her voice almost a whisper. “Because according to my source,it was two kids that was taken that day,then we kept digging. Some guy named..what’s his name? Oh, right, Jack. Jack something, I don't really give much fuck about his name though. According to him, a lady came to rent the van from his shop, she claimed she needed it to pack her things because she was relocating. We've has been trying to track the lady but

Chapter: The fight The silence was deafening. Lena and her husband, once inseparable, sat across from each other at the dining table, a chasm of unspoken words separating them. The soft glow of the chandelier cast long, eerie shadows on the walls, mirroring the darkness that had crept into their relationship. Lena gazed was fixed on her plate, the untouched meal a stark reflection of her turmoil. Her heart ached with a mix of regret and longing. She missed the days when laughter filled their home, when their love was a beacon of warmth and comfort. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to amplify the silence, each tick a painful reminder of the time slipping away. They had once shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Now, it felt like they were strangers, living under the same roof. Gray,equally lost in thought, kept stealing glance at her. He couldn’t figure why she was so angry at him,he blamed himself for getting drunk that day, all this incident could have been avoided. They finished thei

Chapter: What did he do with the girls?The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Oliv face. She sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the bustling bush outside the window. Yesterdays conversation with Sebastian replayed I her mind, his words stinging like a fresh wound. His sharp tone, his sarcastic words- it had caught her off guard. She thought she'd finally meet someone that will love her without judging her, shed always admired his quick wit and a d easy charm, but yesterday, he’d shown a side of him, to even think it was not his time of saying that to her. Emily glanced at the entrance, her heart pounding. She was hearing Sebastian's voice, he was probably heading in her direction, she wasn't prepared to face him. Instead, she buried herself in her water, pretending to be lost in thought. She could feel his presence, the weight of his eyes on her, but she refused to look up. She wanted to avoid the awkwardness, the tension, the possibility of another bitter truth from him. “The kids w

Chapter: The kids The stale air of the basement hung heavy, thick with the scent of fear and dust. Oliv,her heart a leaden of weight, shuffled forward with a tray of untouched sandwiches. The children, huddled together like a frightened birds,met her gaze with defiance. “Come on, now," she said , her voice barely a whisper. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything since..." She trailed off, the memory of their terrified faces when she'd first dragged them down here too painful to bear. “We don’t like this place, we want to go home.” Garry said his voice barely a whisper. Silence stretched between them, the only sound the ticking of an old grandfather clock in the corner. The sandwiches sat untouched, a stark contrast to the emptiness in their hollowed eyes. “You will soon go home, your dad is only making this complicated,trading your life for wealth, is it even worth it?” Oliv sighed.” You will have to eat something,please just have a bite. It will break your mom heart to see you weak,you need

Chapter: Who should he believe Theo hung up the phone, his heart pounding to his chest. The image of his parents rushing into the operating room flash before his eyes. He couldn't what he'd just heard. Gray knew all these years and kept it from him, his dad was involved. How could he be responsible for his own brothers' deaths? The thought was almost unbearable. Anger surged through him, a hot, consuming fire. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms. How could someone so cold, so calculating, be capable of such a heinous act? He'd always seen Gray's dad as a pillar of the community, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect life. But now, Theo saw a different side of him, a darker, more sinister side. And Gray kept this away from him, was he covering up his father's evil deed? Was he in support? Leo stormed out of his room, his mind racing. He needed to confront Gray, to demand answers. He found Gray in his studying room, lost in thought. Gray looked up, his expression puzzled. “What's

Chapter: A talk with Old manLeo pov I was unsettled, pacing around in his room, Gray was singing the papers today. That shit was supposed to be mine, he was supposed to be handing everything to me today but that old fool decided to outplay and outsmart me. He won't be in that office for long, I will do destroy him. My thought was cut short with call from Peter. “How did it go? Has the papers been signed?” I asked. “No, it was a terrible event.” Peter replied. “What do you mean?” “Old man got pissed,punched Gray on the face, Gray got angry and his men killed almost all old man men. Gray said he had to see his son before any ownership will be transferred.” Peter explained. “And?” I asked “There was no sign of Garry after much wait, only for Sebastian to rush in with bruises that he was ambushed. Guess, old man also have someone that is watching him.” Peter replied. I scoffed,” this is good news,” I said letting out a cold smiling, “at least,no papers were signed and I am sure Gray won’t that s
