Ryan

It was late at night, and Mother still hadn’t come home. I had asked her to make sure she was back early. Just because she went on a date with some man she met online doesn’t mean she should stay out late.

What if something happens to her? Or what if he turns out to be a kidnapper? This is accurately why Amber goes out, parties to her heart’s content, gets wasted, and stays out late.

It’s been over two hours since I got back, and I have been waiting for her in the living room, but there’s still no sign of her. Mother should do better, she needs to. If not for herself, then for my sister’s sake.

A tap on my hand snapped me back to reality. Looking to my side, I saw Amber standing next to me.

"You should have dinner. After you eat, you can keep waiting for her until she returns."

"She’s not picking up my calls. How do you expect me to eat? What if something’s happened to her?" I asked, getting up from the couch.

"You just worry too much, brother Ryan. Her phone’s probably in

    "Stop getting involved with her. Just let her move on with her life. Who cares who she dates? You are not a couple." Alex scolded me as he treated the wound on my head. He's been doing it over the phone, and now that he's here, he's still not letting up. It was my fault for calling him to come and treat me. I should be grateful Jasper was there in time, along with the guys who showed up within minutes. He's been doing his job since I assigned him to watch her from a distance. "I'm talking to you. I hope you are listening. Move on with your life, there are other women out there you could date." He said, his tone louder than before. "Are you forgetting how I treated her over the past four years? The only time I reached out to her was when I needed her for blood." I responded, maybe he's forgotten how he kept taking blood from her to transfuse to Zara. He fixed the bandage on my head, then took a seat on the couch next to me. "How is that supposed to be your fault? I have known you t

    "Don't you touch me, Ryan." She said, halting my hand before I could reach her face. She looked away briefly, then back at me, her expression darker. I grew even more perplexed, I hadn’t done anything to offend her. I was just fortunate to be there to save her from whatever they had planned. Where did she expect me to take her? I had also passed out, and when I woke up, we were already near the mansion. Calling Alex over was for her, not because of the injury on my head. "Do you have a problem with me, Emily? All I did was save you. I couldn’t even catch the idiot who did that to you." "Fine, you saved me, but didn’t you think you should have just taken me home? You brought me here and made my parents panic?" She said, though it sounded more like she was questioning me for doing something good. It dawned on me, she was right; I hadn’t thought about her family. Everything that happened yesterday was out of my control, from the argument with my mom to finding her at the restaurant, b

    EmilyWhen I got home, the house was empty except for Lisa who I met, and she couldn’t stop crying; she thought I had been kidnapped. Honestly, I almost was, if Ryan hadn’t shown up. I was in the restroom washing my hands at the sink when I suddenly heard a scream. Before I could turn, I felt something sharp pierce my neck. That’s when I blacked out.Since I woke up at Ryan’s house, he must have been the one who found me. But what was he doing there? Did someone tell him I was with Anderson? I hadn’t even mentioned going out to Biggy. He had called earlier asking if he should come over, but I had turned him down. So how did he know where I was there with Anderson?Lisa explained how father nearly lost it on Anderson for returning home without me; my mother had to step in to stop him. She’s the only reason Anderson avoided a beating. I understand why father was upset, he had specifically warned Anderson not to go anywhere without my guard. My mother, however, assured him it was fine,

    Father had a good conversation with Anderson, and he took the time to apologize for his behavior last night. I don’t blame Father; I would probably react the same way if it were my child. After clearing things up, Father walked Anderson out to his car so he could head back to work. It was funny, in a way, though I understood how they must have felt when I was missing. As we waited for Father’s return, the office door suddenly swung open, and Ethan strode into the room, with Father following closely behind. Mother stood up, moving next to Ethan. "Hey, how did it go?" She asked. Since he left the room, his just returning. "We found them." Ethan said, "I hacked into their security system and tracked them down using the car they drove." "Who are they?" Father asked, and silence fell over the room. Ethan hesitated, clearly reluctant to reveal their identities. "I think they are working for Adams. They have connections with him, and he’s likely the one who put them up to it." Ethan fina

    Ryan"Here are the test results." Alex said, handing the report to me. "As suspected, she was injected with a substance that made her black out. Luckily, you saved her in time; otherwise, she would have..." He paused, then took a seat across from me.I raised my eyebrows, waiting for him to finish his sentence, but he remained silent, simply staring at me with his hands crossed.The report I held was informative, but some medical terminology was beyond my understanding. I wasn’t trained in this field, especially not in something as specialized as medicine. Doctors are supposed to explain these things, but Alex was holding back."I'm listening, dude. What aren’t you telling me?" I pressed, unable to hold back. I needed to know everything he suspected.He sat up straighter, placing his hands on the desk, and looked at me intently. "You might not want to know what happens next.""What do you mean? Just tell me. I wouldn't be here if I didn’t want to find out."He took a deep breath. "She

    We arrived at the office a few minutes later, parking in the lot. As I stepped out of the car, I noticed the guys waiting near the entrance. The moment they spotted me, they began moving in my direction, looking tense."Is everything okay?" I asked, heading toward the reception and making my way to the office. Their expressions told me there was something urgent."We have a huge problem." They said in unison. It was as if their words hit a nerve, making me freeze as the severity of the situation sank in."A problem? A huge problem?" I repeated, their tone clarifying that something serious was wrong."We can’t find him. He’s no longer at the safe house where we had him locked up." I glanced at them briefly as I continued walking into my office."You can't find him? Who are you talking about? The last person you were holding is Anderson's accomplice. So, who exactly are you referring to?""We can't find him there. I think he escaped. The place was open when we arrived. We checked the wh

    Seeing the note in his hands, boldly written that I killed him, I couldn’t move. I stood there, sweat forming on my face. How could I leave when there was a note with my name on it? He mentioned the police—that meant he’d sent them proof. No way. What proof could he possibly have to hold me responsible? I wasn’t there when it happened. None of my men were there. So how could this be proof? "Do you still want to leave?" He asked. "You can, but when you do, the police will be here for his body. This note, it will ruin you." He raised it up. Was this the reason he left the hospital for his house? "It’s just a note. Do you really think the police will hold me for it? It was found in your mansion. The police will see it as a setup. You were there the day of the gunshot, and now this, don’t you think you will be brought in for questioning?" The sinister smile on his face fell flat. He couldn’t respond. The police wouldn’t believe a word he said when the body was found in his house. I h

    Saying I wasn’t hurt by his death would be a lie. I'm hurt beyond what I can imagine, and I don’t even understand why I'm so affected by what happened to him. If only I had let him go sooner, this wouldn’t have been his fate. I’m not sure if he has a family, but if he does, they have lost him forever. How will they cope without him? He could be their everything.If anyone is to blame here, it’s Anderson. I had no intention of killing him. I was going to inflict pain in him just to get the truth out of him, but I didn’t want him dead. I will have to investigate if he left behind any family members."Boss, we are done digging the ground. Should we proceed?" I looked at the figure one last time and nodded.I can’t keep his body, not with the police investigating. After giving instructions, I turned and headed back to the car. There’s no way to bring him back, no matter how much I wish I could."Are you sure no one followed us here?" I asked, glancing around the cemetery. If someone is wa

    EmilyIt’s been two weeks since everything unfolded, and today the primary election was being held. Father went to the venue alongside Mother to keep him company. Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t go there to support the Mayor. In fact, he believes there’s no chance the Mayor would be among the winners of the primary election. So there’s no guarantee he will even make it to the general election.I had visited the hospital earlier to check on the well-being of my child before heading back home to watch the election updates unfold on the screen.Father had spoken to Ryan about letting his mother have her freedom now that my father had been caught. Though, they’re still going back and forth because Ryan believes she might try to visit him in prison.To make things final, Father advised Ryan to visit the penitentiary and instruct them to deny her any visitation rights. He left for the prison about an hour ago and has yet to return.Since everything was over, I finally had nothing to worry abo

    Screeching the car to a halt, I turned off the engine and stepped out. This was the same place where he had once admitted to orchestrating all the tragedies. Why bring me here again? I scanned my surroundings, my eyes darting to every corner. The area was eerily quiet, too quiet. Not a car, not a soul in sight. He knew what he was doing, using this secluded place to his advantage. The sharp tone of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out and saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen. Great. What now? Ethan had a knack for calling whenever he felt like it, speaking to me like I was beneath him, and then cutting the call before I could say a word. I answered, bringing the phone to my ear while my eyes continued scanning the vicinity. If he brought me here, he could be watching. I had to stay alert. "What the hell did you get involved in? Is this how you plan to take care of my sister?" Ethan's voice boomed through the phone. My jaw clenched. His tone was grating

    Ryan I couldn’t believe he ended the call. He’s still as rude as ever. I knew he didn’t just call me; he’s only working with me because that’s what Emily wants. I stood up abruptly, unable to sit still while she was missing. "Where do you think you are going?" Mother asked, preparing to stand up. She’d been indoors ever since I ordered the guards not to let her leave the house. The maid had called earlier to inform me that she hadn’t been eating. That was the only reason I came to see her. She could starve for all I cared, I wouldn’t mind. Amber is gone because of her carelessness, and honestly, I wouldn’t care if something happened to her too. "I'm heading out. I’ll see you later." "You can’t leave me here! I need to step out of this house; I can’t stay locked in forever." She demanded. "I only came here because you’re my mother and because of what the maid told me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see me here." I paused before adding coldly, "A new maid will be here later to keep yo

    Ethan It’s been more than thirty minutes, and we still can’t find Emily. The certifications have been issued to the graduates, and they have taken their oaths, but there’s still no sign of Emily. She can’t just leave without informing anyone. At this point, I blame her guard for giving her the keys without asking questions. How do we find her? People are already leaving. We want to take a family picture, but we can’t find her. If only I had insisted on coming with her. If I had waited, we would have gotten here together. She wouldn’t have left without me knowing where she was headed. She knows I wouldn’t allow her to leave if she didn’t inform me where she was going. "We can’t keep waiting for her. I believe she will come home." Father said, obviously tired of waiting. He’s been seeing guests come to congratulate him on Lisa’s graduation, and has even gotten tired. He should be at home resting, not here when he still has stitches on his body. "She's old enough to take care of hers

    It’s been such a busy morning since I woke up. I’ve been helping the maids prepare food for the guests who showed up even before the day had begun. It’s Lisa’s day, and everyone is happy, coming to congratulate and celebrate with her. Finally, we’ve got a neurologist at home. I’ve been wondering how she intends to go after her business.She’ll be resuming work at the hospital a few days later before flying out to her desired place, which Father is still working on. I’m going to miss her; she’s been the most supportive sister and friend I’ve had since I lost my other friends.Everything has happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe I’ve been married before, and now I’m pregnant. I should inform Ryan about it instead of keeping it from him."Hey, what are you thinking?" I looked at the figure. It was Lisa, all dressed up, looking stunning. She was wearing a lace-trim off-shoulder slim dress, with elegant long sleeves and a back cut into a heart shape. Her hair was styled

    It was a hectic evening with Lisa. We finally managed to get her something to wear for her graduation. I’m not the one graduating, but I’m so happy she’s signing out of school.When we arrived home, Biggy helped carry the clothes from the car boot while we made our way into the living room.Father hadn’t come with us because he said the Mayor was coming over to see him. I guess he finally agreed to meet him, especially since the scandal he’s caught up in has been spread by bloggers.I’m certain that Ethan had something to do with it, but he feigned ignorance when Father asked him. Speaking of Ethan, I haven’t seen him since he left the office with Freya, who has refused to return despite his requests.We marched into the living room and found Father seated with the Mayor. Their expressions didn’t seem lighthearted.I quietly marched past them and ascended the stairs."Good day, Mayor." Lisa greeted, clearly seated close to Father, as I heard her plop onto the couch."Hello, Lisa! Cong

    EmilyIt has been more than ten days since we uncovered the truth that my birth father was the mastermind behind all the chaos that has unfolded. Since Ryan lost track of him that night, there have been no further leads to locate him. My adopted father was livid when he found out, ready to take matters into his hands, but his friend Liam managed to calm him down.There’s a reason I deeply respect Liam. He has a knack for stepping in at the right moment, offering advice that’s both timely and wise. He convinced my father to let Ryan and Ethan handle the situation, especially Ryan, who has been enduring threats and even narrowly escaped death, all because of me.In four years of marriage, I had no idea Ryan was hiding such a burden from me. None of this made sense at first, but after my birth father admitted to all his crimes, I couldn’t deny the truth. He never truly liked me, not even as a child. If not for my mother standing up for me, I might have ended up in an orphanage, far remov

    It took me a few minutes to bring Emily back to her senses. She was losing it and needed someone to ground her. We couldn’t fight her father here, he came prepared, determined to take her away with him. "Don’t say a word." I warned her, turning to face the man standing in front of us. He doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s father. How could Jasper not find anything substantial on him when I asked him to investigate? "I’m disappointed in you." I began, my voice steady and sharp, "not just as Emily’s father but as a so-called boss who can’t even protect his men from danger." He furrowed his brows, clearly confused, as if he didn’t understand what I had just said. "You must remember when I told you that only a fool hides while his world crumbles around him. Your men were kidnapped, yet all you could think to do was chase someone you’ll never catch." "Is this your attempt to provoke me?" He retorted, his tone calm but laced with disdain. "You’ve failed. Your words mean nothing to me." "Ca

    I made sure all the plans were in place before stepping out, fully prepared. He’s coming to get Emily, while the twins and their boss are coming for their friends body, and that of his brother. I will finally uncover who wanted Emily dead and went so far as to plant a bomb in her car. The anonymous figure who’s been tormenting me for years, forcing me to divorce her, needs to be unmasked. I need answers. Why has he been doing all this? Once I was ready, I got into the car, buckled my seatbelt, and drove off. We’re out to catch two people today. "Hey, is everything set? Any movement yet?" I asked, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I exited the parking lot. My nerves were shot, not because of the plan itself, but because Ethan kept giving us problems. I could only hope he wouldn’t jeopardize this operation. "Nothing yet, but that doesn’t mean no one will show up. You’ve seen the twin brother. He’s not just starving, he’s like that because he’s been separated from his brother." K
