Daughter-in-law to be.Henry's parents walked straight to the doorstep, and pushed the door open. It wasn't even locked!They sauntered into the living room with a smile plastered on their faces. They were finally going to see Quinn Stones!As they walked in, they directly walked over to the couch and made themselves comfortable.Quinn walked downstairs, and she was surprised to see the people seated in the living room."Good day." She nodded at them politely.Parker was displeased by her attitude, but he says nothing. After all, the girl standing in front of them was the foster daughter of the Stones, and their potential daughter-in-law!"Take a sit... We are Henry's parents." Parker introduced."Oh, welcome. But Henry isn't around..." Quinn was puzzled.Why would they visit by this time? She was sure they knew that Henry would be at work by that time of the day.So why did they visit?Unless of course, they had other intentions.."Oh... We are aware of that.." Matilda smiled.Quinn
Jayden sighed, as he watched the scenery through the window. He just landed in Washington DC.'It's been a while.'He sighed to himself again.........................Khloe was startled, when she heard the doorbell ring. She raced to the door, and opened the door.However, when she opened the door, she was surprised by who was standing at her doorstep.But, the surprise didn't last for long,"Jayden?" Her voice was slightly emotional as she pounced on him.How long had it been since she had seen this friend of hers??"Khloe." Jayden said in an emotion laden voice.He had missed all of them so much."Hey... Stop it. We aren't acting a tragic drama here." Khloe smiled, although her eyes were reddened."You started it." Jayden shrugged."Let's go in." She opened the door widely and both of them went inside."What do I serve you? Brandy, or whiskey?" She smiled.Jayden didn't respond. He got up and directly walked over to Khloe's mini bar."I'm not a stranger, why are you treating me lik
Henry parked his car directly at the parking lot of the Stones mansion.He sat inside his car for a while, even after turning off the ignition. How would they receive him?Finally, he got out of the car, and approached the doorstep.Guards weren't even stationed at the entrance. Well, it wasn't as if they needed one anyway.Who in his right mind, would dare initiate an attack on the most powerful family in Washington DC?He went over and rang the doorbell. He then waited for a while.Soon, a maid came over and opened the door,"Good day." She smiled politely."I'm here to see Mrs Stone." Henry announced his intention directly."And how may I address you?" She asked still smiling."Henry Andrews." He said simply."Alright hold on for a while." She dashed back into the mansion, and left Henry standing at the doorstep.Soon, she returned, and ushered him in,"You may come in." She pulled the door back, and allowed Henry inside.Henry nodded and went inside.As he approached the living ro
Stephen hunged up, and placed the phone on the table. "Let's see how you can continue being with that bastard, Quinn." He smirked and waited for the drama to unfold.===================Emelda's school.The school was quite noisy, as it was closing time already. Different cars were parked at the entrance.A security guard stood at the entrance. Before each parent could pick his or her child, they had to confirm if the child was truly theirs.And so, everything went on. The bustle continued.There were also children waiting for their parents to come and pick them.Among these children was Emelda.She frowned when after few hours, her driver was no where to be seen. She was puzzled. He was never late like this...So, what could be keeping him?"Hey Emelda, see you tomorrow." Her friend, Ashely waved at her as her mother clutched her hands and led her towards their car."See you Ashely." She muttered beneath her breath.Soon, a black limousine pulled up at the entrance of the school. Th
"What?!!" Quinn threw the phone on the floor as she yelled."What is it?" Henry hurried down the stairs. His upper body was bare and water dripped down from his hair.Quinn was visibly shaken as she knelt on the floor.Henry ran over to her in alarm."What is wrong?" He asked again."Emel...da." She managed to voice out.Henry's heart skipped a beat when he heard her call his daughter's name."What about her?" He pulled her closer to him as he ran his hands over hers."Kidnapped... She has been kidnapped." Quinn broke down in tears.Henry felt his surrounding go still as he heard her say 'kidnapped'. Her words kept reverberating in her ears."Henry, I'm going to Washington DC now... I can't bear this anxiety. What if, what if..." She choked on her tears."Hey, calm down... Nothing is going to happen to our daughter... Nothing." He hugged her and patted her back.However, his mind was a mess.His daughter.... His poor daughter.He hadn't even gotten to know her well. He had just discov
Henry was restless as he sat on his swivel chair in his office. That had been the case ever since Emelda was kidnapped a week ago.Yes, it was already a week since she got kidnapped.Just then his phone rang,'Ringg.... ringggg'He glanced at the caller ID, and hissed.It was an anonymous number.Who was it?He picked the call, and put it on handsfree.However, he tapped the 'start recording' button.He didn't want to take chances."Hello?" A deep baritone boomed from the other line.Henry remained silent."Hahaha... I know you can hear me. Well, how are you coping?" The voice mocked.Henry clenched his fists, as he became alert,"Who are you?" Who was this person?How did he know that something happened to him?"Well... You don't deserve to know who I am.... But I want this to serve as a warning to you." The man at the other end, snarled."A warning?!" Henry sprang up."Stay away from Quinn, and you can have your daughter. Else.." He let his words hang."Don't try anything stupid." H
At nightfall, Henry drove into his mansion's parking lot. Taking a deep breath, he got out of his car, and approached the doorstep.He rang the doorbell, and waited for Quinn to open the door for him.After a few minutes, he heard footsteps, from within.The door clicked open, and Henry walked inside.Quinn didn't even say a word of welcome to him. She walked back to the sofa where she had been lying on, and lowered herself on it.Henry looked at her, as she sulked.He decided to have the conversation with her later.He headed upstairs to freshen up. He already had his dinner at the office.On second thoughts, he came back again,"Have you eaten?" He asked. He was sure she hadn't.Confirming his suspicion, she shook her head."Why? Do you want to starve yourself to death?" He asked exasperatedly.Quinn raised her head to look at him. Henry could see large drops of tears in her eyes. She was hurt..."How can I have the appetite to eat? Tell me.... My daughter is somewhere, in an unkno
"So you didn't think it would be nice to check up on me?" Quinn tried to stabilize her emotions, as she spoke to Henry.Seated on the couch in the front of her were her friends; Khloe and Arianna.They looked at her intently as she continued speaking with Stephen.Khloe gestured at her to place the call on handsfree.Quinn obliged, and placed the phone on the table."Well, you forgot about me first." Stephen said at the end of the line."Did I? I'm I obliged to call you? Let's set that aside for now. Didn't you hear about my daughter's disappearance?" Quinn probed."I didn't... What happened?" Stephen asked in pretence."You know what, Stephen? Before I continue, I would like to tell you something." Quinn smirked even though he couldn't see her." "And what is it?" Stephen asked casually."You are still an amateur in this game of wits." Quinn said sneeringly.At the other end, Stephen was silent."You aren't saying anything?" Quinn chuckled."You haven't said much yourself." Stephen s
