Liam paced restlessly in the living room as they all waited eagerly for Blake's call. Kyla sat on the couch, with her head between her hands. To think she thought they could have found the children by now. “Sweetheart, you have to eat something,” Amber insisted for the tenth time as she looked at her worriedly. Kyla felt as if her stomach couldn't contain anything.She lifted her head slowly, shaking her head in refusal at Amber's words. “Come on sweetie, they'll be alright soon they'll be able to track his location,” Amber encouraged hoping to get through to her. The look of worry on Kyla's face disheartening her.The doorbell rang, making everyone turn their attention towards the door. Liam walked towards the door, his brows furrowed as he dismissed the person at the door as his father. He opened the door revealing someone he thought he would never see again in his life. “What the hell are you doing here?” Liam asked, his worry turning into anger.The rise of his tone getting Ky
Groaning in pain, she tried to lift her head when she heard movement at the door. Pain throbbed all over her muscles making it impossible for her to move. “Hello babe, I see you're awake,” Blake said, moving nearer towards her.Isabelle tried to focus her sight on looking at him, but he had done a good job on giving her a black eye. In mockery, Blake moved closer to her, licking her cheek as he gripped her chin painfully.“I hope now you're ready to call daddy? You saw what I can do when you anger me, please behave this time, okay?” Blake said talking to her like she was a child.Isabelle gathered her weak strength before spitting on his face in disgust. “Go to hell!” She cursed her eyes wide bared out to him.A blow landed on her face making her feel dizzy as pain circulated to her entire body making her yelp out in pain.Gripping a handful of her hair painfully, Blake pulled her head up so she was looking up to him. “Don't act smart b***h! I need the money, and you'll get it for
Liam couldn't help but feel worried when he couldn't see his father back yet. Nightfall was almost approaching, yet he was nowhere to be found. An ear-piercing scream made his heart skip a beat as he dashed towards the source of the scream. As he walked into Amber's room, he stilled as he saw her eyes fixed on the television. The reporter's words piercing his ears and heart like a sharp knife.‘‘The ISA establishment formerly known as the Storm n Storm empire, is on fire…”Liam felt his breath hitch, making him forget how to breathe as he stood frozen by the door.“Is everything okay? Amber? Sweetie what's wr…” Kyla hastily entered the room, her eyes fixed between the frozen Liam and terrified Amber and back to the television.“Dad, Dad, I'm going to get dad,” Liam said, composing himself as he ran out of the house not waiting for anyone to answer him.Igniting the car quickly, he drove off the compound, his head feeling heavy as he silently prayed his father was okay. He quickly di
The atmosphere felt colder than ever as Kyla cracked her eyes open. Her heart feeling as if it were aching just before her mind brought back everything that had happened.She looked around the room, recognizing the hospital environment. “Ooh dear it's good you're awake,” her aunt's voice came, making her feel herself relax.“What happened? Where is Amber? And Liam?” Kyla asked, looking at the smile on her aunt's face drop.“Amber is not yet awake, as for Liam well he stormed out after he found out that his sister almost lost her pregnancy from grief,” Aunt Liz explained, her eyes lowered in sadness.Kyla blinked her eyes in shock at the revelation. The death of their father definitely was a big hit for both of them.“As for you dear, I want us to talk about something,” Aunt Liz said, looking at her in concern.Kyla knitted her brows in confusion at the seriousness of her tone. “What's wrong Aunt, did something happen?” She asked worriedly.Dr. Liz smiled at her, “it's not my place t
He fluttered his eyes open, only to take in the unfamiliar background around him. Liam groaned as his head throbbed in pain, making him curse mentally for having so many drinks.“You're up,” a female voice said as a woman walked in, looking at him with a mischievous smile plastered on her face.“Who the f***k are you?” Liam asked, irritated by the woman's smile.“Ooh don't worry babe, soon you'll not just know my name, you'll also know my whole self better,” the woman said, letting her tongue lick her upper lip seductively.“Who are you?” Liam asked again, this time, his voice more calm.“What's the hurry, love” the woman said, moving to touch him where he was tied up.Liam felt disgusted as the woman let her hands crawl up his body.As she leaned in to kiss him, Liam turned his head to the side, not willing to entertain her.“What's happening here, Sabrina?” A voice known to them talked behind them.The woman quickly moved away from Liam before lowering her head. “Nothing, Boss,” sh
Immediately his phone went on, notifications flooded in continuously. Liam felt his heart twist at seeing that Kyla had tried multiple times to reach him. She had left him a message telling him she needed to tell him something. Liam didn't know what to do after the deal they had with her dad, maybe she was better off without him. His phone rang, taking him out of his thoughts.“Hello Jus, how's my sister?” Liam asked, his eyes looking into space as he waited to hear of his sister's health.“Where the hell have you been, man? You made us so worried!” Justus yelled through the phone, making Liam move his phone away from his ears.Liam brushed his fingers into his hair, not sure how to answer that question.“How's Amber?” He asked, dismissing his friend's question.“Is that what worries you? Do you even know your wife is out there to get your kids? Do you know it could result in something dangerous!” Justus asked, his face red with anger. He never knew Liam to be that careless, but wha
“Make the damn call again!” Blake's angry voice bellowed out to the hesitant Isabelle who stood beside him.Isabelle bit back her inner cheek to prevent the tears that threatened to pour as Blake gripped on her upper arm painfully. She quickly dialed her father's number once again as Blake instructed. And this time it went straight through. “Hello dad?” Isabelle called, trying to compose her voice.“Hello Isa? What have you done? Where are the children?” Mr. Vane's worried voice came, but the disappointment in his tone was inconcealable.“Dad, it's not that, the company is not my…” just before Isabelle could complete her statement the phone was yanked away from her ears.“Listen here old man, I have the children and your daughter is in danger too, if you don't send me money, I'll kill them all,” Blake threatened, his eyes wide as he looked into space.Isabelle felt shaken by the confidence in his words as he bore out his eyes to her. The murderous expression on his face made her feel
Kyla held on to him as tears rolled down her cheeks freely as she looked at her unconscious son. Luckily, there wasn't much damage done as the driver of the police van managed to stop just in time.The doctor smiled at her reassuringly, “he's just passed out due to shock, he'll wake up soon.” Kyla let out a breath feeling herself relax at the good news.She couldn't understand how Dean was alone running in the forest with Susan chasing him. Kyla didn't want to imagine where the twins could be.As Susan's eyes fluttered open and close, Kyla couldn't help but wonder if Susan was among the kidnappers, or she was kidnapped. The state of her health according to the doctor was not good at all, and the restlessness she had even in her faint state worried herKyla felt the car halt making her feel her stomach fill with butterflies as she knew they had reached the destination. If it weren't for Stella, they wouldn't know the way. Kyla looked at her phone intending to call her dad, but there w
