Natasha simply laughed, her amusement echoing through the line. "Oh, they're safe for now," she replied cryptically. "But whether they stay that way depends entirely on you."Natasha's voice dripped with malice as she spoke, her words cutting through the air like a knife. "I know you'll try to act smart, Nelson," she sneered, her tone dripping with contempt. "But the smarter you think you are, the more your children will suffer."A chill ran down Nelson's spine as Natasha described the potent poison she claimed to have administered to Kyle and Kelly. His heart pounded with fear at the thought of losing his beloved children.Natasha's laughter echoed through the room as she declared that the children wanted to speak with him. Nelson's hands trembled as he took the phone, his heart breaking at the sound of Kelly's tearful cries."Daddy, please save us," Kelly sobbed, her voice choked with emotion.

As the sun rose the next day, Nelson paced restlessly, his nerves frayed with anticipation. With each passing minute, the weight of Natasha's startling call bore down on him like a heavy burden.Finally, the phone rang, jolting Nelson from his thoughts. With trembling hands, he answered, his heart pounding in his chest."Miss me, Nelson?" Natasha's voice was like a venomous serpent, slithering through the line with a chilling edge.Nelson gritted his teeth, suppressing the surge of anger that threatened to consume him. "Cut the games, Natasha," he growled, his voice tight with frustration.With a sinister laugh, Natasha relayed her location, her tone dripping with malice. "Be there in an hour," she warned, her voice a dangerous whisper. "And remember, no police. I won't hesitate to make good on my threats."Nelson hung up the phone, his jaw clenched in determination. He turned to Valerie, his expression grim. "It's time," he said, his voice heavy with resolve.Together, they climbed i
Natasha's mood turned serious as she reached out to grab a gun from one of her men, her expression cold and calculating. The children struggled against the gags in their mouths, their eyes wide with fear as Kelly's sobs filled the air. Nelson's voice cracked with desperation as he shouted at Natasha to stop, his hands trembling with fear and rage. Valerie's screams echoed through the room, her cries filled with anguish as she begged Natasha not to do it. But Natasha's eyes glinted with determination as she raised the gun, her finger tightening on the trigger.Just as Natasha's finger tightened on the trigger, the sharp sound of gunshots echoed through the room, causing everyone to freeze in shock. The door burst open, and a team of police officers stormed into the hideout, their weapons drawn and ready.Her men were quickly subdued and disarmed, their masks ripped off to reveal their faces.

Valerie crossed her legs against each other, sipping from her wine. It was really becoming late, and she was getting tired of waiting for Sam's arrival. She raised her hands and looked at her watch, "Jeez, where the hell is Sam?" She cursed, and took another sip from the drink.The atmosphere was really awkward for her alone, when other ladies had their boyfriend, or finance with them all enjoying a blissful afternoon and here she was waiting for her boyfriend's arrival.She wore a long white shirt, with tight red jeans that brought out her shape really well. At the back of her shirt, a red big heart shape was drawn with a word boldly screaming Valentine's day underneath it. Her long blonde almost white hair was packed neatly in a ponytail style. Valerie was a young lady gifted with round small lips, pointed nose which fitted her face well, long eyelashes which didn't need the artificial one again, and lovely deep blue eyes that fitted her round small face properly. Her hips were prac
"He said it's over… and he vanished into thin hair just like that " Valerie continued, and drank yet another glass of the alcohol she was holding. She raised her eyes to look at the bartender again but the young man gave her the look that he wasn't going to release more."Ma'am, seems you look really drunk" He suggested."Give her more if she needs more" The man seated beside Valerie ordered and immediately the bartender rushed to get Valerie as much drink as she needed.Valerie looked back at the man seated beside her, and wondered why the bartender suddenly had such scary look on his face when the man had ordered him to get her what she wanted.Well, it wasn't any of her business as she still had a lot to think about and not somebody else's. "He says I'm too clingy" Valerie stated, raising her hands above her head, and roughing her hair.The man dropped the full glass of Pina colada on the counter and stared at Valerie. "He must be insane for looking down on such a beauty""Hahaha
"You're fired." That word repeatedly played in her head as her feet remained rooted on the ground while still in his office."But," She tried to give an explanation, but instead he raised his hand to keep hey shut."I said to leave this instant." He repeated.Tears rushed down her eyes immediately. Valerie was only an orphan who lost her parents when she was 10, and being raised in an orphanage, she was never loved by another.She had promised herself to grow up fast, and get a quick job to stand on her own since no one wanted to associate with her until she met Maya who later became her best friend. Earning a living was still quite hard for both of them, but at least, they were both still surviving and it was all that mattered.She cleaned up the tears on her cheek and turned to leave his office like he had instructed. Sam was to blame for everything happening to her. In just one night and one morning, he completely ruined her life.As she closed the door behind herself, more salty t

Back at home, the tension was palpable as Nelson gathered his family in the living room. Their expressions ranged from confusion to concern, each of them processing the events of the day in their own way.Before Nelson could speak, Kyle spoke up, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Dad, how come Natasha was at the auction?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.Nelson took a deep breath, his mind racing with the weight of the truth he was about to reveal. "I was just as shocked as you were," he admitted, his voice grave. "But it seems Natasha has been plotting with Kelvin to bring me down."The room fell silent, the only sound the creaking of the floorboards beneath their feet. Eyes widened in shock as Nelson recounted Natasha's involvement with Kelvin, her betrayal hitting them like a punch to the gut.Valerie's voice shook as she spoke, her eyes clouded with memories of past hurts. "I still can't forget what Natasha did to us years ago," she confessed, her words heavy with the wei
As Nelson addressed the crowd and media, he felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through him. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the media," he began, his voice steady but tinged with intensity. "I have something important to reveal."The room grew silent as Nelson took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. "Kelvin," He gestured towards his stepbrother, his tone heavy with disdain, "has been my stepbrother for years. But what you don't know is that our relationship has been fraught with animosity. I've never trusted him, and for good reason."Gasps and murmurs erupted from the crowd as Nelson's revelation hit home. Meanwhile, Michael, one of Nelson's senior board members, was spotted attempting to flee the scene. With swift coordination, Nelson's team members intercepted him, ensuring he couldn't escape justice."Now, let me show you the truth," Nelson declared, as his team played audio recordings and videos exposing Kelvin and Michael's fraudulent transaction
As Nelson and his team waited anxiously, they eyed the room for any chance to catch Michael and Kelvin red-handed. Tension hung thick in the air, each member of the team poised for action, their senses heightened.Suddenly, the room fell silent as Kelvin made his grand entrance, his presence commanding attention. But what caught Nelson off guard was the figure at his side, Natasha. A sinister smile curled her lips as she whispered something into Kelvin's ear.Nelson's heart skipped a beat as his eyes locked onto the pair, disbelief washing over him like a wave. Natasha, the woman with a vendetta against his family, standing beside Kelvin, his own step-brother, in a twisted alliance that threatened to crack everything he held dear.Clenching his teeth, Nelson muttered to himself, cursing his own folly for underestimating Natasha's potential for betrayal after her stint in prison. He couldn't shake the gnawing question of how Natasha and Kelvin had formed an alliance after her relea
The following day, Nelson arrived at work with a heavy heart, his mind preoccupied with the task ahead. Despite his outward appearance of composure, a sense of unease gnawed at him, knowing the weight of his decision could shape the company's future.As he settled into his office, Nelson discreetly observed Michael's movements, noting the subtle shifts in his demeanor. With a calculated move, he subtly arranged for an AI detector to be installed on Michael's phone, a precautionary measure to uncover any potential deception.Later that day, Nelson convened a meeting with the board members, his expression grave as he broached the subject of selling the company. "After much consideration, I've decided to entertain the idea of selling the company," he announced, his voice tinged with resignation.The board members exchanged surprised glances, taken aback by Nelson's unexpected declaration. Sensing their uncertainty, Nelson pressed on, outlining his plan to sell the company as a strateg
