He shouted after me as I marched into the car, fuming. “What the hell was that in there all about, Jane?” He was Henry, my husband, my new husband, the man who loved me and supported me. He had brought some of his men with him as backup. He had a plan to negotiate with Rick and get our son back.

But I didn’t want to negotiate.

I wanted to take him back by force.

I didn’t even want to look back at him or even entertain any of the questions he was asking me. Obviously, he didn’t know exactly how I felt and he probably was doing all of this for his own selfish reasons. I don’t know, but I smelled a stinky fish. I smelled something very fishy. I couldn’t place my finger on it yet, but I knew I would in a matter of time. I didn’t have to give up my properties for that idiot.

I got into the car and slammed the door. He soon joined me in the car and slammed it too. He glared at me with a very angry expression. His blue eyes were cold and hard. His jaw was clenched and his lips were thin. He

    “Alright, whatever you say. I guess we’ll be heading back home now. Let me let my men know that we’re not coming back,” I said calmly. I could hear the defeat in his voice and a hint of something else. Maybe anger, maybe frustration, maybe disappointment. But at that point, I didn’t care enough to even ask him what was going on. I just knew that I had one thing in mind, which was not giving in to whatever it was Rick was going to say or come up with.“Is it me or you sound so cold?” I said finally, breaking the silence. We were in the car, driving away from Rick’s house.He just kissed his teeth and ignored me. He faced the other side of the car, looking out the window. He seemed to be lost in thoughts. Why wouldn’t he be lost in thoughts anyway? We were in the middle of a shit hole, in the middle of some crazy-ass bullshit. And I was already starting to feel that it was my fault.Why would you think it’s your fault? He asked me one of these days when I was at home, sitting in the kit

    “You need to get some rest, hon. You’ve been out for a long time. Come, let me take your suitcase off and run you a warm bath,” I said, trying to divert his attention from what he had just asked me.Johnson was one of my investigators, one of the ones I hired secretly to look for my son. Henry had found a lead and called the police for a raid. But the police didn’t show up. They said they had orders from above not to interfere.And the orders came from me.But Henry didn’t know that.But of course, it was a futile attempt because I knew my husband way too well. He was not going to relent until he got an answer from me. He looked at me with suspicion and frustration in his eyes. His voice was tense and harsh.“Excuse me, do you want me to repeat myself or do you want to be in big trouble right now?” he asked me sternly as I looked at him with wide eyes. He had never threatened me that way before. To be in big trouble. This must have been very serious for him to speak to me this way. I

    I was kept on edge as I waited impatiently for any news about my son from my investigators. I got none.I kept glancing at my phone every now and then and with every ding I heard, I rushed quickly to check if it was my investigators.They found a lead. A very strong one and I sent them on a mission to go and abduct my son.I prayed fervently so that everything would run smoothly and safely. I wasn’t in talking terms with Henry so I didn’t even bother telling him anything about it. Hell, I even slept in a different room than the master’s bedroom last night.But when I woke up, he was gone. It’s not like I cared too much. Okay, maybe I cared just a little but I was too engrossed with finding my son, it was barely noticeable.I picked up my phone and decided to distract myself.I decided to text him for where he was.“Hey, good morning. You left this morning without a kiss. Where are you?” I typed and hesitantly pressed send.It was immediately delivered and it was immediately marked se

    I made my way to the kitchen counter, feeling his gaze on my back. He was still standing there, in the living room, like a statue. He had been following me everywhere I went since he arrived at the door. I was a little bit skeptical because I had never seen his face before. He had introduced himself as David, my husband’s bodyguard. But why did I need a bodyguard? And why didn’t my husband tell me anything about him?I instantly got scared and reached out for my phone in my back pocket. I pretended to get some water from the fridge so he wouldn’t follow me into the kitchen. I texted my husband urgently: “Hey, there’s somebody here I don’t know. He’s really tall and he looks really scary. Did you ask him to come around or what’s going on? I’m really scared.”I sent the text message and put my phone back into my pocket quickly, waiting to hear a beep sound. I glanced at the living room and saw that he was still there, staring at me with his dark eyes. He was wearing a black suit and a b

    “So, um, permit me to ask. I know that I’m not supposed to ask such things, especially when I’m trying to keep a professional relationship with my clients,” David started to speak and I paused drinking the coffee I was drinking and paid attention to what he had to say. He looked kind of uneasy and I was just anticipating the worst from him.“Oh, go on. I mean, you can say anything to me,” I said, “but only if you’re comfortable with me. And we can just chat, yeah? I’m sorry, I’m probably talking too much,” I said, fumbling. My heart was already racing with how close he was to me at that point. I was heated up from the inside. I wasn’t sure if I had felt that way with anyone before, not even with Henry. But I wanted to embrace it and act like an adult, so he wouldn’t feel like I was crushing on him. Because I really was. And I really hoped that I wasn’t blushing at the time, because it would be an epic disaster. I would die of embarrassment, literally.“I know I’m not even in the right

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get you upset,” He said, wiping my tears while I held his hand.“And I didn’t mean to let you see me cry. It’s crazy how…” I said and let out a fry and painful laugh.“Take it easy,” he said squeezing my chin lightly while I forced a smile.I didn’t know what it was but I felt at ease while he was comforting me. It was the first time I felt like I had to be myself. Plain me and feel good about it.“It’s fine,” I said sniffling while I gently pushed his hands away from mine then fake a smile.I used my palm to wipe my tears from my face picked up my cup of coffee and took a sip from it.“This is really good don’t you think?” I asked trying to change the topic and lighten the mood.He understood the assignment picked up his own glass took a sip then nodded in appreciation.“It tastes lovely. Just like gold. Just like you,” he said and it made me blush.“Hey, are you flirting with me?” I asked nudging his shoulder while he chuckled.“No, I’m not. I promise,”

    “Yes, but it still feels really weird to have him leave like that, especially after how hard I’ve worked on this marriage. It’s just not fair on my part, honestly. But I guess it’s just my fault, you know. Because I actually did something terrible and I guess it’s just karma trying to pay me back or something like that.” I said sadly, looking down at my toes. I was fidgeting with my fingers while I felt his keys on me. He was silent. He probably didn’t know exactly what to say. He didn’t really understand the whole story, so I decided to continue.He cleared his throat and said, “Oh, you know there’s no such thing as karma, right?”I rolled my eyes with a laugh. “Oh, please. Karma is definitely real and it’s the reason why I’m going through all of this. You don’t understand. I’m not sure you ever will.” I said to him and he just kept a straight face, staring at me while I looked back into his eyes. We stayed like that for what seemed like a couple of minutes, but of course it must’ve b

    “It’s a good thing you’ve done with him now,” he says with a chuckle. I smiled at him but I was truly happy. Some part of me was still in love with Rick, I can’t lie but at the same time, I couldn’t admit it.“So you are opposing your husband in this search for your son?” He asked and I was surprised as I looked at him with my mouth wide open.“What do you mean?” I asked and he shrugged.“You are running your own search team while your husband has his. I think it’s really weird if you two have the same goal in mind,” he said and I laughed out loud, nervously.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I denied, throwing my face away but still looking at him from the corner of my eye. How did he get that information?“You know… that only means that one person has ulterior motives. One person out of you two. Who could that be?” He asked again and I cleared my throat nervously. I was interested in that conversation no matter what.“Uhm… I need to use the bathroom,” I said and got down from

    “Well! Now, we’re going to have to make a new round of chicken,” I said, groaning angrily while he chuckled and pointed toward the store room.“At least we have a whole island of them,” he joked and I nodded, slightly feeling guilty about wasting food.I had grown up to know that wasting food was not an option and here I was, abusing the gift of abundance. I needed to retrace my steps.“Why don’t we just order takeout?” I suggested and he pondered a while over it before he shrugged and looked me in the eyes.“What?” I asked and he shrugged. “Well, why do you want takeout?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. He was literally impossible.“Don’t give me that look! I just want to know why. I can cook the food if that is what it’s about,” he pressured but I was already having a headache as he kept going on and on.“I didn't know men talk a lot,” I spat and he looked at me with a surprised expression.“Okay, I’m only talking this much because I want you to be comfortable with me. I don’t want

    “Oh, I see. Well, it is hard for a guy to pass by you and not stare at you with his eyes or even make a passing comment. But that’s not what we’re trying to talk about here,” he said, noticing my uncomfortable look. “I’m sorry, okay? I just want to keep letting you know how beautiful you are and how lucky I feel to have you over. How lucky I feel that both of us are sharing the same house at the moment. How lucky I feel that I’m helping you with whatever it is that you need, okay? I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable near me. I want you to feel very comfortable because it’s going to be a long ride in the long run. But I need to remind you once in a while how crazy you drive me,” he said and I blushed again.“Okay, I’ve heard you. I’ve heard everything you said. Now, I guess it’s time to go and have dinner. Maybe. I’m starving,” I said to him as he nodded in agreement. “Of course, yeah, dinner. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed since I stayed with you. You make time go

    “Alright then, we can drive there right now,” David said with a mischievous grin. I looked outside and saw that it was already getting dark. I just wanted to smile and relax and wait, because obviously he couldn’t penetrate that safe. And I made sure that it was a high-quality safe that I laid my hands on while I was at UNI. You know, that woman who first gave me those original documents? She also gave me that safe. Nobody could crack it open, not even the best programmer in the world. It couldn’t even be blown up by a bomb. It was just a safe, just the way it was. So I was less bothered about that, but what I was a little bit bothered about was the fact that he would go in there and probably start taking all the furniture and all his clothes and all that.“Don’t worry, there’s no rush. Revenge, especially the sweet ones, take time. We’re going to go tomorrow. It’s already getting late. We should make something to eat and go to bed,” I said to him with a smile. He smiled back

    “Jane, Jane, relax.” David said, as he rushed towards me. He tried to hold my shoulders, because I looked like I was going crazy. Like I was going mad. And he was probably very afraid at that point, because I was acting batshit crazy. That I was going to injure myself or him. So he held me firmly in his arms and made me look at his eyes. His caring eyes.I said to him, with tears in my eyes, “All the assets, everything I worked my ass off for, everything is gone. I have searched everywhere. I have checked everything. Maybe I misplaced it. But no. Henry has betrayed me.” I said in the most heartbreaking voice you could ever imagine.I was so heartbroken, because I never would have done the same to Henry. But why did he do this to me? He had stolen from me. And I would not stop until I had stolen back from him.“I always knew Henry was shady for that thing he did. Of course, it had nothing to do with getting married to you or you being a terrible person to get married to. There were alw

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said, with a very nervous chuckle, as I tucked my hair behind my ears and faced forward, avoiding his gaze. But deep down, I knew he was right about what he was saying. I was just very afraid to admit the truth. He asked again, “Jane, look at me. We need all the information we can get if we’re going to get to the bottom of this. You don’t have to be afraid to release any information. You don’t have to be reluctant to do that, OK? I’m here, standing by your side. I’m always by your side and I will forever be by your side. Right now, we need all the information we can get. You’re the only one who can give us that information. Do you understand, Jane?” He asked, looking at me intently. I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed by emotions. I didn’t know how to feel at that point, because he was right. I knew so many things that could have made Henry make this decision of his. Or whatever it was. I knew quite a few things about why he may have lef

    “OK, so I have some detective friends who could also help out in your case, but I need your consent with everything. I promise you it’s not an affiliation with anybody, not your ex-husband, not your fiancé. You know I just really want to help, just in case you need backup. Is that OK with you?” He asked, his voice gentle and reassuring.I looked at him, feeling a surge of gratitude and affection.His eyes met mine, and I saw a flicker of something else in them. Something warm and tender, something that made my heart skip a beat.I almost wanted to jump up and hug him, but I had to comport myself because I was a lady. Oh, fuck it, I thought, and jumped up and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.“What was that for?” He asked, sounding surprised but pleased.I smiled shyly and pulled away slightly. “Well, you care about me more than anyone else cared about me ever since I lost my child. So I think you deserve more than that.” I said softly.He took my ja

    “Why don’t you call them to know what’s up?” He asked, looking at me with concern. I shook my head.“No, no, no, no. We already spoke about this. We discussed it. It’s OK. They will have to be the one to call me after the mission is complete. I can’t call them now. It would be destroying something in the mission.” I said, biting my lip nervously. I was already tapping my feet fast on the ground and grinding my teeth anxiously. Just remembering everything already brought a knot to my stomach and a lump to my throat. And I guess he noticed, because he reached out to my hands and took them in his. He rubbed them gently and gave me a reassuring smile.“It’s OK. I’m sure you’re going to get the text soon. But I need to ask you some questions. I don’t know if it will be OK for you to answer them for me.” He said and I looked at him. I hesitated a little bit, because I didn’t say I was going to trust anyone with the information that I had. But I was willing to give him a small chance. May

    “Oh, not so fast, David,” I said, holding up my hand. “Not so fast. You have to take it easy with all this flattery. I’m very quick to fall in love, haven’t you noticed that?” I teased him and he looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes. His smile matched his eyes, bright and warm. It was one of the most brilliant features about him. Was I falling in love again? I had just promised myself that I wouldn’t fall in love so quickly, but I couldn’t help it. This man was amazing. So good looking… Even more good looking than Henry and Rick combined. And I had a very high affinity for very good looking men. And to be honest, at that point, I didn’t really care. I just felt that I should live life and just be who I wanted to be, when I wanted to be, and how I wanted to be.“Oh, I have noticed,” he said, leaning closer to me. “We did have quite the chemistry there when I first walked into the room. When I got coffee with you, you know… I felt it. It was kind of obvious. But I didn’t think anyth

    I felt dizzy for a while because I was so confused. I was usually the one who said I love you first in all my relationships. I was usually the one who made the first move, probably because of my desperation. I hoped so much that this man wouldn’t see through my desperation, that he wouldn’t see how desperate I was to find somebody to love. But obviously, I was wrong because he saw it. Why would a man be telling me that he loved me on the very first day we met? And given the circumstances surrounding it, it was a big lie, at least in my ears. What did he mean by love at first sight?“Jane, Jane, did you hear what I said?” David’s voice woke me up from my little mini trance right there. I didn’t even realize that I had drifted off from the normal conversation that we were having. But in truth, I didn’t know what to reply to that because obviously, I didn’t love him. But I did have a little bit of liking for him. And if there’s anything I’ve learned over the past few months, it’
