We walked around the dim-lit grounds hiding around the bushes and waited for the car to arrive. Rob was hiding just outside the gate and keeping a close watch and he had texted me that no one had arrived yet. After waiting for nearly an hour three cars drove inside the estate and we saw that the guard was smiling at them as if they were his boss. The car drove towards the golf course and the guard did not stop him. I was seething with anger. Even dared to park my car outside. Who were they? I wondered and we started walking slowly after them. Making sure our shadows were not seen. Finally, the car stopped outside the old building and four men came out of the car. They walked behind the car and opened the boot and each of them carried big bags and went inside the building. There were only four guards according to Rob and I had seen all four of them sitting near the gate. How could I have been so careless about the estate? It was my lack of attention that something illegal was happeni
The Red light in the operation theatre was turned off and the doctor came out and looked at the people waiting anxiously. Steffanie got up from her seat and looked came forward towards the doctor. “How is Wanda, doctor?” The doctor shook his hand and spoke. “She is stable, now. The good thing is she had some reaction before blacking out. So, we think she will awake soon. But I am warning you not to pressurize her or she might go back to sleep again. She needs a lot of rest and less stress.” Steffanie grabbed his hand and thanked him and the doctor just smiled and patted her back and went ahead towards his chamber.Hudson came and took her in his arms. Trying to comfort her.“She will be fine aunt Steff, come and sit down.” He made her sit on the chair and sighed with relief.Now that Wanda was out of danger and she might regain her consciousness might, it was a good sign as they would definitely come to know about the killer from her as she had seen him for sure or the killer would
They were all seated around Scarlett was busy reading the emails, which was sent by Callie and Hudson, Jayden and Kay were listening to her. Every email she read made them more and more nervous as it explained each and every situation Emily Clarke had gone through during the last days of her life. Jayden eyes had turned red. He was old enough to know the loss of his parents but when he came to how they were killed his body trembled. It was eight in the evening and still they were unable to find clues but they knew the suspected people so they had already started to track them. The main characters were Jordan Brooke , Henry Adams, Joey Gilbert and Ray Reynolds.Hudson was busy reading along with Jayden and his cell phone started ringing, he saw that it was from Logan, so he picked it up immediately. “Mr. Brown where are you?” Hudson asked quickly and. He was scared that something had happened to him. He saw Jayden was looking at him with confusi
I was eating the porridge brought by hooligans, who were pointing a gun at me and making me eat. I was not scared but felt disgusted at the way they were behaving. I was wondering how long will it take for Hudson to track me. I wanted to delay whatever they were planning, so I cooperated with them and was eating my dinner without any appetite.“You should listen to us or we will kill your brother as well as your lover.” One of them spoke very rudely. I just glared at him. “It’s a pity that Ale has his eyes on you or I would have kept you for myself, after all, you are Emily Clarke’s daughter and it would be an honour to possess your beautiful body. And it would be so much fun as you won’t even object.” The other one mocked me. He then touched my face and I flinched and tried to dodge away. “You are too feisty, no wonder Ale is all over you, just like your mother. Anyways such a pity, you will be his slave from now on and right under your lover’s eyes but he will not be able to do a
The phone was vibrating silently on the bedside table and Emily Clarke saw the caller and picked it up. “The fish is out and is heading towards your house, you better be careful. I am trying to send reinforcement as soon as possible.” After that, the call was disconnected.Emily’s body shivered but she felt a warm hand encircle around her and she heaved a sigh of relief. “Is everything all right?” Richard Clarke whispered. “He knows everything. And has already arrived outside, we are covered from everywhere.” Emily whispered.“Hey, don’t worry everything is going to be all right. I am going to cover up outside, till the reinforcement arrives. You go and take care of Callie.” He said and he hugged her tightly as if it was their last hug. And both walked in a separate direction. ***************************************************Emily's mind raced as she headed down the dimly-lit hallway. The urgency of the call combined with Richard's comforting yet ominous words left her with a si
Authors POVCallie's entrance into the room caused a murmured wave of surprise to wash over the gathering. She carried herself with a certain grace and confidence that immediately demanded attention. Her eyes, an intriguing blend of determination and mystery, scanned the room before landing briefly on Hudson. She offered a slight nod, her professional demeanor firmly in place. "Good morning, everyone," Callie greeted, her voice carrying a hint of authority. "Thank you all for being here. I am grateful for the opportunity to work on this project that was so close to my parents' hearts." Her introduction was met with a mix of polite applause and curious glances. Hudson felt a rush of nostalgia and disbelief. This wasn't the first time Callie had taken him by surprise, but seeing her in this new, powerful role reignited feelings he had long suppressed. As Callie began her presentation, laying out her innovative ideas for the Clarke project, Hudson found it difficult to concentrate on h
It was very late when I reached back to the hotel, where we were staying. It is one of the finest hotels in Seattle and the suite that we were staying in, was located on the topmost floor, so we had a good view of the city.My brother was very furious that I ran off from the office without informing him. Scarlett was with me, so I gestured for her to explain and ran off to my room as I knew I would be lectured again. But he was still shouting behind me.My brother is four years older than me and is very possessive about me, mainly because I cannot speak. I had that problem since I was a child. And now I am used to it.But he gets worried when I go off without informing him, as he thinks something bad might happen to me and I don’t blame him because we lost our parents when we were very young and we just had each other.I sighed heavily and slumped on the bed, as I was very tired and tried to relax, but I
Callie’s POV I was watching “The Simpsons” on N*****x and was so engrossed in it that I did not see that my phone was blinking and after an hour or so when I felt sleepy I went and snuggled under the quilt and checked my phone. I saw a new text from an unknown number. I was curious and I opened the inbox and saw that it was sent by none other than Hudson Ford. “Why are you ignoring me, Ivy? I want to meet you tomorrow; you better decide a time and venue and message me. And no, I will not hear no for an answer as we really need to talk if we must work together as a team.” Hudson had written. I read it twice and did not know what to say but I couldn’t meet him alone, as after today’s confrontation I knew I don’t have any control over my feelings whenever he’s around and I behave like a love-sick teenager. I thought for a while and decided to text him in the morning and keeping my phone aside I closed my eyes but sleep was far away, it was not coming any nearer and I tossed and turned

I took a deep breath and told her. “After my grandfather's death, my dad was too busy expanding his business and he stopped paying attention to it and so it was left just like that, and don’t worry I won’t burn it down. I am just planning to build a small park and would most likely just clear out the old pine trees and keep the new ones. I am very fond of these trees and wouldn’t want to destroy them.” “Oh, it's an excellent idea, Emily. You are doing so much for the community. I am amazed at how generous you and your family are.” Stella said proudly. “It's not about generosity Stella, it's about love for each other, and along these years, I have learned from my ancestors that the more you give, the more you get. And the hospital is a requirement for the needy. The old age home will be a blessing for the old people who don’t have anywhere to go. I hope my children will also learn to appreciate what they have in the future and do something for society.” I said feeling very nostalgic.
It was a very sunny day today and I had driven to the estate with Callie as she was getting bored at home and I was sure if I take her around the golf course. She will be very happy. I had invited my soul sister, Stella to come and join us as I knew even her son Hudson would enjoy it. It's rather boring living in that lakeside residence and her husband was out of town for some business meeting, so I decided to have a small picnic.I told my housekeeper to prepare some lunch for five of us as Scott had told me he would be joining us there.We drove to the estate which was in the heart of the city. And I was really happy thinking that I had taken a good decision to build the hospital there as it would be located in the central area and quite reachable for everyone.As we pulled near the gate the gatekeeper opened the gate and smiled at me. I acknowledged him. And drove inside, Rob has been working here for many years and so I knew him well. Many caretakers cam
18th September 2005, It was just another stressful as early in the morning I received a call from Richard. My phone was switched off last night and he was worried. So I had to tell him about everything that happened the day before. I got a long lecture from him, for not being careful and jeopardizing my life. She wanted me to go out again alone and told me to wait for him till he came back. I am very happy that I have a wonderful husband like him, who is very caring but when it comes to my work, I'm very dedicated to it and if I have a case running in my head, until and unless I get it solved I will not have a Peace of Mind. So after I hung up I started reading the case files again and tried to fix the zig-zaw puzzle that I had. And got distracted when my phone started ringing and I saw that it was a call from an unknown number. My private phone number was not available to many people and I wondered who was calling. I received the call and when I heard the person on the other side
We had studied together in a college and knew each other well. He was shocked to see me as I came out of the chief’s office. I can read anyone’s expression and knew he was not happy. He spoke to me for sometime and asked me about my health and went on to do his work. My husband was not in the bureau at the moment, as he was undercover with my brother, agent Logan Brown. They were a great team. So I started walking out as I had nothing else to do but as I moved out I saw Jordan Brooke seated at his place and was busy going through some case files. I was amazed and shocked that he was working as since the time I had joined the bureau, I had known that he was just a lazy duck who would take someone else’s credit and climb the ladder. He had confessed to me about his feelings when I was in college but I had not reciprocated his feeling because I was going steady with Richard . He had gotten drunk one night and caused a scene outside my apartment where I lived.Richard had solved the mat
Damian Davis was seated in his office and was busy studying the report prepared by his assistant Brain Larson.The file that Jeremy had prepared showed that Logan was actually innocent as when the incident had happened. He was undercover on some case and no one saw him for entirely one month. After Emily Clarke was murdered.The strange part was that even the CIA had not reported about his activities about what had happened as he was a very sincere agent in his team.Davis was shaking his head in distraught as if the suspense will kill him.“Brain, what else have we got here?”“Well I checked the fingerprint of the four people, which we have found at Jeremy’s office and well it turns out there were many people around.” Larson informed him.“So, tell me their names.”“First one is agent Brooke and the second one is Logan Brown but the other two don’t have any record. It looks like someone
