Anna's POVI had to think about this for a moment. “But you are at fault…” I told him carefully. “If you didn't have sex with her and got her pregnant, she wouldn't need to have a divorce!” Sam stopped in his tracks and turned back at me. “I don't think I should be blamed in that scenario. I didn't force her to sleep with me. I had no idea she was pregnant until that day when she called me early in the morning to break the news of her pregnancy to me,” Sam told me carefully. “I was single and I was not supposed to be faithful to anyone. She was the married person and she could have stopped me with a single ‘I am married'.” “Exactly!” Smith exclaimed. “Josephine is to be blamed not old Sam!”“Have a seat, please,” Sam told us. I found a seat in the luxurious dining room while Smith did the same. Both of us were facing each other. “You have talked about three kids but I still feel that contraceptives might have saved you the headache,” I told him carefully.“You won't say that if y
Anna’s POVI thought I woke up first but I didn’t. Smith was already beside me and he seemed ready for our conversation. He had already sat up but his eyes were closed. He looked like he was meditating. I watched him and sat up as well. I yawned.“You are up already,” he told me shortly with a smile on his face.“I am,” I replied. “It is rare to see you up so early. I used to be the one to wake you up, remember?”“I do…” he replied. “I have been awake for about three hours. I was bothered about you and about…”“Emily!” I completed.“Yeah!” Smith replied. “I have been thinking about what we should do about her and trust me, it’s been hard on me. I realized that I have been quite inconsiderate. Although she threatened us with a gun, she is still your step-sister whom you lived with for several years!”I sighed.“I have been inconsiderate as well. You made the right decision by getting her locked up. She is still a step-sister and from our past together, she never loved me. I would be a
Anna's POVIt was quite unusual but I was not bothered at all. I believed that Smith would have a solution here. I looked at the cop in question.“Let me see the…” Smith was about saying before another cop came around to disrupt the situation. “Leave!” The new cop told the old cop. Now, he turned to Smith. “I am sorry for the inconveniences. This cop is quite new and he does not know etiquette. The person which you ask for is still here. Please follow me to my office and let's have a talk. You will see her later.” I took a deep breath. The situation was really suspicious but I did not mind. Smith winked at me and both of us followed the cop. He seemed to be the one with the highest rank in the station. The cop took us to his office and made us comfortable. He actually offered us a drink but we declined. I never knew people were offered drinks in a police station. This was the first time I was witnessing something like that. I was not bothered nor was I relieved. “I believe you are
Anna's POV “I think we have diverted from the main cause of coming here…” I touched Smith slightly on the shoulder. “I know, Anna, but things pop up,” Smith replied. “I can see that you are quite uncomfortable. You can step out for a moment. I should be done with this in the next five minutes!” I wanted to see the end of this. I shook my head and sat down instead. I noticed that things seem awkward for Smith afterwards. To me, this was not something to be proud of. It was illegal. Smith continued and in my presence, he sealed a deal with Charles. Their deal was quite simple. Charles was expected to be his informant and he would help him out in turbulent times. For someone running a business like Smith, having someone like Charles would be instrumental. They rounded it up and we were allowed to see Emily. The cops were already processing her release since we dropped charges already. “How has life been in the cell?” I asked her slowly as I entered where she was kept with Smith behi
Anna’s POVThree days after Emily was released, we had an august visitor. I was not expecting him at all. It was Sam, my father. He looked quite unstable but I did not know the reason behind his facial expression. I was informed by one of our maids and I had to step out. Smith was not at home at the moment. He had left for his office early that morning.After the pleasantries, I offered him a cup of water which he drank like he had been thirsty for years. This was enough to tell me that there was more to his visit.“I need your help, Anna,” he told me after he had settled down. This sounded urgent and instantly, I dropped my phone and concentrated on him. I was ready to give him a listening ear.“Go ahead, father,” I replied. Sam took a deep breath before he talked. Perhaps, a chunk of flesh was blocking his throat. Recently, I lost concentration easily and I loved to go straight to the point to save time.“I don’t know if you have heard but…” he was saying but I cut him short. I was
Sam’s POV:“Regardless…” I tried again but bad-mouthed Anna didn’t let me talk. Her mouth has gotten so unbridled after she left my abode. She had forgotten to consider that I harboured and fed her for years.“Do not spew that out, Dad,” she told me carefully. “It is shameless and if I was in your place, I would be so embarrassed. I might have considered your plea for help but you dared to ask for two hundred million dollars. Tell me if your whole business is worth that amount!”I said nothing here. I was hurt by all she had said. I had read about Smith’s business on Forbes magazine and I knew he would have two hundred million dollars. Instantly, I regretted my actions. I should not have started that discussion with Anna in the first place.“I will leave,” I stood up immediately. “But I will never forget this disrespect from you, Anna. Bear in mind that your children would do the same to you!”“That will only happen if I treated my kids the way you treated me. All you say are pointles
Sam’s POV I already knew the result even though I hadn’t asked Smith about the money. To him, it might be a joke but it was so important to me. I took a deep breath and thought of the most honourable way to leave his place since all of my tricks and antics had failed me. “Both of you are always up to date in communication…” I said slowly. “I guess she already knows that I am here. You must have told her before I got inside this office!” “Yeah!” he replied. “I love your daughter so much that I would never keep something for her. I am sure you must be so happy and proud of us. I would be proud as well if I were in your shoes!” “What is the use of being proud if both of you won’t help me? You have enough money but you play with my intelligence all because of a meagre amount!” I exclaimed. I was so hurt since my hopes were high already. The reception he gave me would make anyone think he would give me the money I needed. “Both of us are businessmen!” Smith told me slowly. “Bring a bet
Emily’s POVI wanted to take revenge and get Smith but a few things were necessary. I had to meet with people who had the same motive as me. On the top of my list was Dan.I did not know if he hated either Smith or Anna but it would be quite worthy. He was Anna’s ex-boyfriend and he broke up with her because I was involved. I could still remember how Anna caught me sleeping with him. I never intended to do such but things happened like that. During that period, I was jealous of Anna. Even with the level of maltreatment she faced at home, she was better than me in everything. She beat me in academics, she was a better cook since I could not cook at all. She was a better household manager and luck seemed to be with her always.She attracted people and not mere people. She had people of influence and essence at her fingertips. I was very angry when I heard that she was Dan’s girlfriend. I had known Dan since high school. He was very cute and strikingly rich. Although average in height an
Anna’s POV“Mission complete from Wolf but he is in danger. He has been shot by a hostile,” Hibiscus reported. “He was shot on the stomach but it avoided his vitals. His car has been destroyed by the explosion and he has confirmed the death of Mark and the other guys. However, he has no car and he is still bleeding.”“Send White Shark to help him now!” I exclaimed. “Also, I never thought of this but now is the best time to end this. Send the anonymous tip to our man in the police. Dan needs to be rooted out tonight for sure. Tell them he plans to escape tonight as well.”“I will rush there to provide support instantly,” White Shark reported.I waited for two minutes before Hibiscus gave his latest report.“I have sent the anonymous tip and I have given Dan’s address. They will be there in fifteen minutes,” Hibiscus replied. “Also, Valentine is back at headquarters. He is recuperating for now.”“Where is the nearest seaport from Dan’s place?” I asked her carefully. “I don’t care where
Anna’s POVYes, it was time to end it all and put them to rest as well. This had to be done delicately. Mark had to come by himself.“How do we bring him in, ma’am?” Hibiscus asked me carefully.“Yeah, he had a phone with only three contact numbers. I think sending a photo of his death will connect us with Mr. Anonymous…” I replied carefully.“It probably will but it might also turn chaotic. There will be more than one person to confront and it is nothing good, you know,” White Shark replied carefully. He already knew he would be leading this operation.“That is why we cannot confront them normally. We will put Daniel Locke’s body in the house I was kidnapped and taken to and also, we will have bombs all around. I don’t know where to get bombs but you can, right?” I asked them carefully.“It is illegal but I have a private dealer. I will work things over with him and set things up within two hours,” White Shark told me calmly. “That saying, I am to detonate the bomb when I see Mark en
Anna’s POV“I know him already. He is the captain, Daniel Locke…” I replied. “Hey, White Shark, prepare the interrogation room. I will speak to him when we get to the headquarters. My husband is there too, right?”“He is,” White Shark replied. “Also, he has been strange. He knew before you were attacked so he must have gotten the information from someone else. I asked about the person who told him about the attack but he has been keeping the secret. To avoid matters getting out of hand, I gave no information to him when we were going to rescue you. He will find out when you get back.”I sighed.“Don’t make things too complicated…” I replied. “My husband is not someone that would betray me or any other person. I will find out the truth when I get back so remain calm until then.”----------------When the car stopped at the headquarters, I entered with a classy feeling. I was confident and this topped my personal charts. I entered and I was welcomed by the agents at the headquarters. Hi
Anna’s POVThe men who kidnapped me were all gazing at me. For sure, they would think I was crazy. Truly, a person who was kidnapped should not have such nerve. I would need to show them how different I was from them. I didn’t have to panic because of them. Although I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t get killed, I had faith in Smith and my other men. Surely, White Shark and Hibiscus would be listening to my voice right now. They would save me for sure.“None of these men knows my name!” he told me coldly. “There are four of them but they call me captain and nothing more. Please, stop talking about my name or I’ll be forced to deal with you harshly.”Then I remembered. The most core value of their organisation was secrecy and I could make him do something he would regret if he got angry.“Oh dear!” I exclaimed. “Your captain’s name used to be Daniel Locke but he bears John Locke right now. He is an adult movie star. Go to porn hub and search for his name. He is not too popular but he h
Anna’s POVThe driver with shaky hands turned on outside communication mode. Now, I could talk and those people could hear. Andy took charge now.“Hey, you should stop this now…” Andy told them carefully. “I am sure you know the person I am transporting. If you didn’t know, you won’t bother doing this much. If you want money, we’ll pay. Please, remove the bombs and let’s sort this out properly.”“We came here for a mission and it is to kill the person you badly wish to protect. I have no reason to kill you as well so you can pay a million dollars for your freedom…” the leader of the men outside said carefully. I looked at Andy carefully and he nodded pitifully.“I don’t have that much on my bank account but I have it in a safe in my house. I can only wire two hundred thousand dollars right now. If you want a million dollars, you can go to my house,” Andy said carefully.“Two hundred thousand dollars sounds great!” the leader exclaimed. “However, how about a better deal. You don’t get
Anna’s POV“Oh! That’s nice!” I exclaimed. “Find out the fellow and report to me before any other person. As for Wolf, do you have any requests?”“I need some men on standby,” Wolf replied. “The men in Dan’s mansion do not look friendly at all and if I am found out by any means, I have no means of escaping. It is better I leave now before my identity is uncovered. Please, send some men over.”“I will consider,” I replied.“Please,” Wolf begged over the call. “I have a bad feeling about this. Trust me, I am fearless but I also take my instincts seriously. We can do this some other time. I need to get out of here but without those men catching onto me.”I took a deep breath.“Hey, White Shark! Are you on the call too?” I asked.“I am…” White Shark replied. “I guess you wish to know what I think about Wolf’s request. I am right, aren’t I?”“You are,” I smiled. I do this regularly these days. “Let me know what you think about this. It might influence my decision a great deal so tell me wh
Anna’s POV“We have a problem, boss,” White Shark stormed into my office. The fact that he called me ‘boss’ made me lit up a smile. It was unexpected but it also felt good for him to acknowledge me. He was formerly one of those men that never believed a lady could be good in other things except on the bed and in the kitchen. I must have changed his mindset. Anyway, he said there was a problem and I needed to hear.“What’s the problem? I’m busy, you know,” I told him carefully.“It is related to this current case and I think we have been found out…” White Shark replied. “I was tailing the CEO of AKS Group as you instructed and I made sure I wasn’t noticed by any of his bodyguards. However, he had secret bodyguards. They weren’t normal bodyguards which I could shake off like that. They seemed to be mercenaries from that secret organisation. I have left no traces though. They shot at my car too even though I never attacked them first.”“Spying on their financier is the same thing as atta
Dan’s POV“Hey!” I shouted. “I know you don’t have any regard for me but just shut your lying tongue or I will cut it out. I never put you in danger. Since I shed your identity to the other guys, how many attempted murders has occurred?”“It was only yesterday,” Mark replied calmly. “No one knows if I will be killed tomorrow. You don’t understand how things works here. I can see the reason why your father does not trust you. You might be the end of this organization.”I slapped him. I knew he could have moved before then but he stood there, breathing hard. I was scared he would punch me but he only stood there. I was the one who slapped him but I was the one afraid. Sammie was still in the room and I could not bear to act like a weakling.“Listen up!” I shouted at him. “I am not a perfect human and no one is perfect. If I am lacking, you tell me instead of telling me I am not capable. Do you know how much it hurts? You should know already.”“I fucking know!” Mark shouted in the loudes
Dan’s POV“We have a problem!” Mark told me over the phone. He was formerly known as Anonymous to me before I got to know his true identity. I heaved a sigh now.“You have never called me for something good. It is always a problem. This must be what made my father age so quickly and even fall sick. Some rest and peace would have been so helpful…” I told him carefully over the phone.“But you still need to listen. There is a reason to believe that someone wants to hurt our financier. Do you remember him? The CEO of AKS Group is the person I mean…” Mark told me carefully. “He is a billionaire and he has bodyguards watching over him. However, our organization provided some undercover mercenaries to keep him safe. Today, they discovered someone watching him.”“Did you capture the person?” I asked shortly.“Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the person behind this. Our men managed to capture the plate number and we are currently tracking the owner of the car. We need your directives
