As the car pulled into the Storm's mansion, none of them uttered a word. What happened at the Vane's remained imprinted in their minds, none of them daring to say it out loud.“What are you going to do Li?” Amber asked, her voice soft and calm.Liam huffed, shrugging his shoulders still feeling hurt at what had happened. It appeared Mr. Vane was hell-bent on making Kyla think the worst of him.“Let's first get inside, I already have my men on it, we'll find them,” Liam answered as he turned the running car engine.Amber nodded in understanding, feeling her heart become heavy at all that was happening. What was supposed to be a happy day has turned out to be terrible.As Amber alighted the car, she looked at the once jovial and lively compound. It now looked cold with the high concrete wall turning a greenish color showing just how long it was abandoned. The quietness in the compound making her tense, thinking maybe her father moved or even worse… She quickly pushed the horrible thoug
She bit her lip hard to try to contain her anger as she paced around the room. “That bi**h! She said she'll have the kids here by now!” Isabelle cursed out, smashing the glass that she held in her hand. The shattering sound of the glass echoing in this dump, cold and old room.“Calm down babe, it'll be alright, she said she'll be here before 9pm,” Blake said, rubbing her shoulders to calm her down.“I told you we shouldn't trust that other b***h, she was my best friend once, but she's nothing but weak!” Isabelle cursed, pulling out her phone to make a call.Blake heard his phone vibrate making him freeze at what he saw. He hurriedly went out of the room, glad that Isabelle was occupied by her phone calls.Blake quickly called a number, his hands feeling shaky. He had been awaiting the biggest deal of his life. The deal which would free him of the clutches of Isabelle and let him survive on his own. Nothing could go wrong, nothing was supposed to go wrong!“Matteo! What the hell did y
Liam looked at the woman in his arms, making his lips curl up in a smile. He couldn't have enough admiring how peacefully she slept against his chest. The passionate kiss they shared made his heart beat hard, making him fear he would make her up in his excitement. The longing and emotions they shared in the kiss didn't need any explanation. Shuffling at the doorknob made Kyla stir in her sleep. Liam looked up, knitting his brows at whoever finally thought of unlocking the kitchen door. His numb shoulder felt immobile as he tried to position Kyla properly. Kyla felt the bed move below her making her moan softly, rubbing her head harder on the hard…pillow?She struggled to crack her eyes open, but her heavy lids protested against it. Her mind flipped like a coin when she heard the door click open. Everything that happened last night flooded inside her head as she sat up. “Good morning, love,” Liam mumbled, his deep voice making her insides shudder.“Oooh my god! Did you two spend t
As the breaking news hit the headline on every social media, Daniel couldn't help but feel breathless. Everything he had worked to build all his years appeared to have run down the drain. ‘The ISA establishment, formerly known as the Storm n Storm empire, is subject to investigation following the belief that it is involved in illegal mafia activity.’As Daniel Storm read through the headline again, he felt his heart constrict painfully. He knew giving Isabelle the company was not a good idea and that she would run it down at some point. But he couldn't have ever believed that it would go down so shamefully.“Dad? Have you seen the… oh my god, dad, don't hurt yourself by following up on the news, it's not your fault,” Liam said moving to his dad, whose face was pale making him look sick?“All my life, I built that company, I lived that company, it is a part of me, I feel as if I'm going down with it,” Daniel Storm lamented a lone tear escaping through the corner of his eye.Liam of al
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
