Two days after Drake was abducted, Anna fell sick. The absence of her son was killing her, she was unable to attend to several things, all her focus was to know how her son was fairing. Despite the calls from Reid to check on her, she wasn't still herself.“Mr Richard never called.” Miriam brought up a discussion and she shook her head. “I got his text, he fell sick as well, but i can't believe that. He must be dodging because he can't come up with a remedy, and I already put the blame on him that he's responsible for the abduction of my son.” Anna uttered, that was all she knows about Richard for the moment, and she doesn't care to know more.As time goes by, she panics more. The anxiety in her was getting worse…her heart skips every second. She already sent a message to her manager about her absence until further notice—at that point, her company seemed meaningless to her.“Get me some chilled water, and then my cell phone so I can reach Reid.” she ordered Miriam who left the sitti
“I've found the location sir, what should we do next?” one of the bounty hunters said to Reid. he took the piece of paper he was holding and went through it, the address was similar. He could recall when Lilian went to see Felix in an isolated area years ago, now it happened that it was the same place Anna and her child was, but in a building some miles away from there.“He must have bought this house a long time ago, knowing that he will be playing games with it.” he thought and handed the paper back to the hunter. “I'll go meet my Lawyer and take the documents from him, then we will head to the Location.” he stood up and took his jacket hung at the handle of the chair he was sitting on.He hasn't visited his company since all these dramas began. He entrusted everything in the hands of his manager, knowing that even if he's present at work, he will never concentrate.They drove to his lawyer's chamber and the young man handed over the whole document.“Are you sure you want to do this
Anna woke up to find herself in the hospital, beside her was Reid, Miriam and Drake who was asleep on Reids arms. She tapped his thighs. “For how long?” she asked, her voice shaky. He smiled at her, so happy to see her awake again. “Two days, I've been waiting patiently for you to wake up since the doctor assured us that you're okay and will be awake soon.”Miriam carried Drake from him and laid him on the other bed opposite the one Anna was lying, while Reid helped him sit up.“How do you feel now?” he asked her, showing concern.She forced a smile on her face, recollecting everything that happened before she became unconscious. “I'm very strong.”He handed an envelope to her. “You lied to me.”She exhaled a deep breath and took the envelope from him. She disclosed it and went through it, it was a reminder from Felix about her marriage with Richard. She sniffed and contorted her face, then turned to Miriam. “Have you heard from Richard?”“Yes Ma’am. He's preparing for your wedding….”
Just like Anna instructed the driver, he drove off, heading to the location that she had handed over to him. It was a very distant place from her residence and as well as Richard’s, she had to choose that area because she was sure that no one would have such a place in mind to go.Seated in the car, she was busy with her cell phone. “I have to disconnect the CCTV and racker in this car, or Richard might get me here.” she thought and began trying to do it but it was difficult, so she put a call to her hacker. “I'll send you my car’s plate number and every detail you need, hack the camera and tracker in it instantly—” she instructed and hung up the call. At that moment, she sent everything to the hacker.“Ma’am, can you stay there all alone? It's a very lonely place…” the driver interrupted. He's one of his men and must obey her order without questioning. “Focus on obeying the instructions given to you, and make sure you don't disclose any information to anyone no matter who the person
The driver called after a few minutes and alerted him that the address had been gotten, then he drove to Anna’s residence where his men were still waiting for him. “Where's the housekeeper? I need to ask her some certain questions….” he referred to no one in particular. Miriam walked out when she heard his voice and bowed to him. “Drake was taken away about an hour after my mistress left…” she uttered without being asked.Looking at her, she looked scared, which means something above taking Drake happened as well. Reid looked into her eyes, it was teary. “Did he point a gun at you?” he asked curiously. He wants to know everything that happened.Miriam nodded. “He did, but that was when I insisted that he wasn't going to leave with Drake, he swore to kill me if I didn't let him take her since my mistress disrupted the wedding,” she revealed.He gasped and stepped back, then turned to his men. “Let's head to his residence, I only need to make sure that he's safe there.”“Won't you take
In a bungalow surrounded by men in suits, inside the building was Felix seated on the cushion with a stick of cigarette in his hand. He does this whenever he's so glad about a situation, but likely hates it when he's sad. He pulled out the gun in his pocket and dropped it on the cushion after taking a good look at it.A smile appeared on her face. “He was finally jailed, now I see no reason to let that company still be his…” he laughed and dropped the cigarette on the little ceramic plate on the sized stool beside the cushion. “Father won't hesitate right? He shouldn't, a murderer can't be the CEO of Babel’s Group, even the government won't accept that—it's a taboo.”“He only attempted murder, so the charges are different….” one of his men cut in.He glared at him. “Shut that crap! Whether attempted or not, he's a murderer. Only a murderer will commit murder and be caught, I'll just make sure he doesn't have a witness.” he fell back and relaxed. “That dickhead! He thinks he has power
It's been five days since Anna was hospitalized yet there was no response from her. Reid had pleaded to go visit her in the hospital, and the DOP allowed him to go with the sergeants, he was bittered when he saw Anna still lying lifeless on the hospital bed, the tears that gathered in his eyes were uncontrollable.He knelt beside the bed and held her palm, staring at her face. “You have to wake up Anna, you've slept a lot. You need to wake up so I won't be life imprisoned, you're the only witness that I have now—so open your eyes and spare me these accusations,” he muttered, hoping to get a reply from her, but he heard nothing, not even her finger moved.The electrocardiogram began making sounds that attracted the attention of everyone in the room, he rushed out of the hospital and alerted the doctor who rushed in with other doctors to check on her.“Conduct CPR!” the senior doctor ordered and one of them began it immediately. It looked like nothing was done, the vital signs were beco
“No one should mention my name until I get this file.” he barked at one of his men through the phone. His mother already left, and he aimed to find the adoption file and take it to the orphanage that his mother had directed him to. He wants to do this because he believes that it's the only way for him to put down his brother and get everything to himself. “Once the adoption is dissolved, you'll have no right over my father's properties again.” he grinned.The sound of the door made him turn to face his father, he released a loud annoying hiss and went back searching for it again.“Can't you just give up? This is getting out of hand and I hate it….” his father complained. He glared at him and continued, there was no time to reply to his father, all he wanted was to see the file, yet after searching almost all the files he had come across—it was yet to be found. “Just tell me where it is. I'm trying to avoid anything that will bring you down through that bastard.” he screeched at his fa
EPILOGUE“It was an order for the both of you to get married, yet you sat back and watched your fellow man take Anna from you,” Lyra screamed at Richard while he was standing before her with his palms dipped into his pocket. “Now, their divorce has been terminated and they will get married soon. What are you going to do?”He scoffed and exhaled a hot breath. “I'll wish them a happy marriage, that's all. We aren't meant to be from the beginning—and there's no way I'll drag her with my brother.” Richard stated.Her eyes grew wide. “Brother? You mean, Reid is your brother?” she walked closer to him. “Are you going to leave this state with him? His father built a company for him and he will be leaving with Anna after their wedding.”“Don't you want me to follow him there? Why do you look anxious all of a sudden?” he grinned and stepped back a bit, but she came closer again and held his hands. “Don't go with him ... you already have your own business here and it's doing well.”He arched hi

Richard was coming out of the shopping mall when he stumbled on a lady, he lifted his face and was shocked at who he was seeing. She was a total stranger to him, and her looks were scary. “I'm sorry about that..” he pleaded, there was nothing to drag when he wasn't with his men. He made a move only for him to get a terrible hit that sent him to the ground.“My name is Lyra. plan A didn't work, I think Plan B will work smoothly,” she uttered and dragged him to his car despite the looks of people. After she left Anna's residence, she visited the nearest hacker with the help of the cab driver who drove her. Anna's cell phone was hacked and she took Richard's number and then began tracking him.She must bring an end to the reunion of Reid and Anna no matter what. She drove the car herself to Richard's residence, and when his men came forward, she faked being a helper to him and would love to stay by him until he was awake. After so much contemplation, she was allowed to do so and that was
It was the first time Lyra met with Anna, and she hated it. There was nothing good about seeing the woman that made Reid stay away from her all these years, she wanted to snap her neck, but that wouldn't help, instead, it would cause more issues. She heard everything about Reid and decided to visit his father thinking that he would help out—at least, Reid should take the national company for himself ...but it looked like Anna came for the same reason as well because she overheard a little of their conversations. Now, the bitter part of it isn't that Anna visited for the same reason, she's scared that Anna will make the old man love her again and want her back to Reid and that she wouldn't want. “They are already divorced, so there's much to think about—still I'm scared that they may come back together. Anna is wealthy and famous, she has a company and can easily build Reid again...then I'll be the loser because I offered nothing.” she let out a hot breath. Her eyes caught with the c
After Anna ended her conversation with the lawyer, she decided to go visit Mr Wilson like she had said. Since the distance was a bit far and it was running late, she booked an urgent flight which took her to their town, and then she boarded a taxi that drove her to their compound.She wished not to see Mrs Wilson, the sight of her still irritates her especially when she recalls that the elderly woman had never loved her. “Greetings Sir!'' She greeted Mr Wilson who was standing at the veranda taking a look around. It's nice to see him stand on his feet without quivering, he was improving faster.“Anna!” he was shocked to see her. He threw his arms around her in an embrace. “It's been a while, how have you been?”She smiled widely. That was unexpected. “Im okay Sir…”“Come on, drop the formalities. Let's go in.” he led the way into the sitting room and offered her a seat. He also ordered the chef to prepare something for her to take which she didn't reject. It's been a while, so everyth
Anna visited Richard, knowing that her son had been there and Richard would never let her take him back, she decided to see how he was fairing. At least, she was glad that Reid was released, that way she wouldn't feel guilty anytime she recalled him. She didn't want to drive, so her driver took the car key and they drove off. Immediately she arrived at Richard’s residence and stepped into the building, Drake ran towards him like he knew she was coming. She glanced around but Richard wasn't in the sitting room—Drake was the only one in there watching the cartoon that was playing.“Where's uncle?” she asked him and he pointed towards the stairs. “In his room, he only came down once and fed me, then he went back to his room saying that he had a lot to do. He was deaf when I talked about going home to see you.” Drake narrated.She pinched her lips. “Your uncle isn't deaf, he is busy and I already told him that i'll be coming that's why.” she cautioned him and he nodded.She walked upsta
Reid hugged Anna and bid her goodbye, he went into the car and his lawyer drove off. They were heading to see his parents, that was the only way to know if what they read online was true or just a rumor. His heart wasn't in a place, he wished that it would be all a lie. Not that being their adopted child is a crime or because he feels leaving the company will be the end of his life—but the relationship is what he does not wish to see end.If this is true, then he won't have a family again, no one to talk to or call a family.His parents were having dinner when he arrived at home. They headed to meet them there. Even if they will lose their appetite because of the issue, then there's no issue.“Dad!” He hugged him from behind but he didn't respond. He wasn't shocked, that was also a way of knowing if everything was true or not. He took a seat and signaled the lawyer to do as well. “I am out because I'm innocent,” he uttered only to get a heavy glare from his mother.“Who asked you and
