Jamie spent the next few hours playing with her son although her mind was still filled with worry. Late into the afternoon, Kelvin was fast asleep and Jamie forced herself to get downstairs and have something to eat. Usually, Milton was the one who prepared breakfast and she'd been off the kitchen since she began living with him. He handled most of the chores and he was an excellent cook too. However, today would be the first time he left without inquiring after her breakfast. It was already past lunch time too and as she stared at the clock she thought that he was supposed to be back by now. She climbed down the stairs and stopped midway surprised to see the hustling and bustling activities in the small living room. Men and women moved from kitchen to dinning and vice-versa. Jamie wondered what was going on. The whole place was decorated. The dinner table was filled with exquisite wine and mouth-watering foods. Jamie smiled as she instinctively thought that this was perhaps Milton's
Be Careful With My Heart   Hello, son
The answer to her question soon arrived.After Jamie watched, from her window, Milton pulling an angry Michelle out of the house and into his car he drove off. A huge smile appeared on Jamie's face as excitement flooded into her heart.She walked quietly, her cheeks rosy and her face bright, and then shut the door to her room. She stood there for a while, images of Milton kissing her playing and re-playing in her head. Jamie didn't know when she felt this happy and she knew her happiness just began and has not ended. She wanted to look best for Milton, perhaps they might continue their own dinner date. With this in mind, Jamie changed out of her black dress. As she searched for one of her dresses that would make Milton go weak in his knees, she felt like a high school who just fell in love. It felt brand new like she'd never gotten her heart broken in the first place.At last she picked out a red dress. Judging from their numerous conversations, red was his favorite. She put it on imm

He tightened his grip on her,"And no matter what you say, nothing can change the fact that you're the mother of my son. We are stuck to each other in this lifetime, after all I still married you despite being in love with Diana. It's your turn. Diana is no longer within my reach, so you will fill in for her.""You're crazy, Jake! Now, let go off me, it hurts!" she screamed but he didn't let her go. Just then his guards walked in and they communicated with their eyes which Jamie could not understand. She wondered if they were talking about her son, so she pulled on Jake's collar."Where's Kelvin?! Give me back my son, you cannot take him away!" The guards came and stood behind her while she screamed and hauled insults at Jake. She didn't notice them."I'm not taking him away," he said "You're coming with." after that he began to walk towards the door and before Jamie could realize anything, a hanky was stuffed on her nose......Milton drove the car carefully, thoughts of Jamie rumin
Be Careful With My Heart   That torture
Milton had stormed out of the house in rage. His drive back to his house was like the speed of light and only when he saw the reflection of light from Jamie's room did he gain his sanity back. He took in a deep breath because he didn't want Jamie to see him mad and therefore change her mood. He pushed the Steinfields and the consequences of his actions to the back of his mind and focused on what this night had in store for him. He hooted severally for the security to open up the gate. However, there was no response. After a while, he got down from his car and with great difficulty, pulled the gate open from behind.His eyes widened at the sight before him. His guards were lying injured-shot on leg, others tied down and some shot on the thigh. Luckily, no one died. "What's going on here?!" he barked, fury consuming him. He pulled out his phone and immediately dialed the emergency number. After that he untied the guards and demanded an answer."S-sir..Mr..B-bryan. He came here with som

He pushed his long hair backwards and tilted his head."The Don wants to see me?" he asked again, just to be sure."Yes" replied his colleague. With a straight face, he put down his weapons and headed for the Don's. He was directed to Beverly's room and for a second his heart skipped a beat. The Don had never sent for him since he began working with him. He felt that this was in a way connected to Beverly.He walked into the room and found the Don seated opposite Beverly with a wine glass in his hand, the two were playing a game of chess. When Beverly looked up, their eyes met, securing a contact of few seconds before the Don turned around to see him."Mike.. hurry over here!" he said with a husky voice and Mike obeyed, standing between the Don and Beverly."What were you doing before I sent for you?""I was down at the field." he answered, Don Anderson lifted his head and stared at him."

"It's just not possible," concluded Edward "Someone must have tampered with it and got it off the footage!"Mr Conor sighed as he leaned back on the office chair and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Supposing that's the case, it will be very difficult to find her Mr Collins. Are you sure she's not hiding somewhere here in Chicago?""No. I am very sure.""We'll continue looking." Mr Conor replied and Edward scoffed."You have said that for exactly a month and some weeks!" he fumed "It's my wife we're speaking of!""I and my team are trying our best, Mr Collins. If, like you had said, the footages at the airports have been wiped out, then the chances of finding her is slim. We're in a world with thousands of countries and sub-countries and apparently, no clue to find your wife.""Just leave!" said an angry Edward.Mr Conor got up on his feet after finishing his coffee. He straightened his suit, gazed at Edward before walking out. "Shit, Diana.." he whispered with his eyes shut. The soun
