Who are you talking about?""Jonah." "You can't be serious, that brat has been hiding for months and I pray he continues hiding." Michael stood there staring at him, he was on his way out of the company when he saw someone who looks like Jonah pass him, and that was when the reality of things hit him."George you know we can't take chances, it's likely to be him, and the identity of the person helping him is still unknown."He finally decided to look up from his desk."Tell Elliot to into all the cameras around the park, after the park, and before the park.""Ok." "And this time, no delay and I need a lead."George paced around in his office, trying to get his mind on the next available lead, but it only had to do with the camera, he decided to wait patiently for Elliot. A few minutes later, he was uneasy, eager to get a response. "Take me to Elliot.""What?""You heard me." Michael understood the primacy and how agitated he was. This is the first time he has ever gone to meet El
I swear I don't know any shit about them, please spare." He didn't get to finish his words before he received a punch from George."Tell me that bull shit one more time and you will have your teeth out." Michael was by the side watching how everything was playing out and ran to Goeorge to stop him from giving the man another punch."Can you just let go of my hand, if you don't the next punch to me on your face." "You need to calm down." "Didn't fucking tell me that.""Can ideal with him my way?""So what, so you can go all pleading with him like a princess to talk, I ain't got no time for that shit.""Just five minutes, if he doesn't say anything, to will continue as you wish with him." "Just five minutes." He banged the door and left. Michael relieved his sigh before he went to sit down close to the man. "Ok, let's do this my way, I want to believe everything you have told him.""Thank you.""But the problem is he doesn't, he is actually the one who needs to believe you, not me."
You shouldn't have done that." "Ohh, I'm still going easy on you and you are here bluffing." "You can't be serious." "Ohh, so you think is right of you not to inform me that my daughter has been kidnapped." "I can find her, so I don't need to tell you." "Ohh, and where is she now?""I would have gotten a good lead now if not for your interference." "That's all bullshit, you left my daughter in the hands of those thugs." "Do you think I also want her there?" "If anything happens to her, you will have me to contend with. Get out of office.""I will but make sure not to interfere with my search any more.""George get out don't infuriate me more." George gave Frederick a death glare before he stormed out of his office. "How did it go?" Michael asked him as he boarded their car. "He is an ass." "I don't blame him, we should have informed him earlier." "Can you just shut it already?" He half yelled. "Have Elliot started working?""Yes."They both went to meet Elliot to inquire
Fredrick woke up to some noise going on in his office. “What's going on here?” He asked Elias's right-hand man, as Elias was nowhere to be seen in the room, just three of his trusted men. The whole room became quiet, he scanned the room and saw Lucy standing close to his desk. “Lucy, what are you doing here?”“Nothing just came to check on the progress of the team.” She answered walking towards Fredrick. “I decided to supervise their work as you were sleeping, but since you are here, I will take my leave.” She pecked him and left, not without throwing dagger with her eyes at Elias's right-hand man. “What caused the uproar?” Fredrick inquired when he was sure Lucy was out of earshot. “She demanded we tell her our findings.” “And?”“That will be going against your command sir.”“Good for you.” He walked towards his deal and sat down. “Did they call again?”“No sir.” “I can't sit here and wait for them to call me whenever they wish.”“I suggest we lie low for now, because this we
George was about to run crazy when he didn't receive any reply from Frederick, he checked the rooms, and they were all empty and dusty like no human had ever lived there for years. Frederick stood up and carried his bag to leave. “Mr.Davies, can you at least say something to me?”“What do you have me say, isn't it obvious don't tell me you are dumb.”George stared into space, finding it difficult to believe what just happened. “No no, this can't be.” He yelled out. He stood rooted on his spot, when his phone rang, all he heard was a peal of laughter from the other end when he picked up the phone. “I warned you, but you didn't listen.”“No no, please don't hurt, is it the money I will double it please.” “I think it's too late for that, I'm sure you will be dying to hear her voice, should I put her on.” He giggled. “Oh, I forgot it's not like you have much of a choice, here listen to her voice.”“Baby girl say something to your daddy and boyfriend, they are so eager to find you.”
“She insisted on coming over.” George told Frederick when he got off the call with Nana, who insisted on coming to over. They tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen to them.“Ok, when is she coming?”“Tomorrow.” The whole team has been working tirelessly, coming up with a different strategy on how to go about their rescue action. They had everything set up, and worry their backup plan in case their next location ends up futile. Tomorrow night happens to be the night they plan to swing into action.Lucy hasn't spoken to her daughter after the encounter they had in her room, she has been beating herself over her daughter's words. She made up her mind to make it up to her children.“Who is there?” Clifford asked from his room.“It's me.” He recognized the voice to be his mother’s. “Come in.” He watched her walk into his room, he sat up waiting to hear what she wanted to say.“Clifford I know I haven't been the best mom to you, I did a bad job as a mother, I don't deserve the
Just be positive.” George told Frederick as they got ready to leave in the night to rescue Brielle, their plan had been going well so far, they were able to get their location and had their men around, the kidnappers were surrounded but they weren't aware of it. “Should we proceed?” Frederick asked the team that was on the bus with him. “Yes.” He stepped out of the vehicle with George approaching the suspected building. “Please try and protect her.” Frederick said to George. “We will save her together.” “Things might go haywire here, it doesn't always go as planned.” George stared at the old man and continued walking towards the building. INSIDE THE BUILDING.“Please don't do it.” “Baby girl, this is all your father's and your lover’s fault, they should have adhered to a simple instruction bamboo, but no they want to be superheroes.” He let out an evil laugh. “But you see where that got us now.” Since the day her father and George tried to rescue her and failed, the kidnappers
“Can we talk now?”“Not yet, you aren't strong enough.”“Whether I'm strong or not doesn't matter in this situation, I need answers.”“Ok, I understand you are curious, but it's for your good, maybe tonight you will get all the answers you seek.”“No.” “What?”“I need answers now, please.” She pleaded with him. “It's been three days now, I'm strong enough.” They were still in the middle of their discussion when the maid brought in her food. She finally found out that she wasn't in the hospital but in his house and that her father didn't know where she was.“Eat.” “I'm not hungry.” “Let's not make this hard, just eat we will talk in the night when I get back.” “You promise?”“Yes.” She took her spoon and dug into her food. Her day went on like a repetition of the last three days, eating, sleeping, and reading, she hadn't been able to outside but just peer through her window to see what the sky and the outside world look like. She hasn't been able to go outside because of how weak
He walked over to her slowly, not removing his eyes from hers. Brielle stood certified on her spot, she never expected him to be here so soon. “George.” She called out not knowing what to do at that moment, whether to jump on him, she was excited seeing him after such a long time, but she tried to hold her excitement because the situation didn't call for it.He walked over to her standing a foot away from her, they could feel each other breath.“Let's go inside.” She blurted when they stood there for some time, before she could comprehend what was happening, he drew her closer to his chest and hugged her.“I missed you.” He said as he ran his finger on her back, Brielle was lost in his scent and wished not to be separated from him again. But it eventually had to come to an end, he detached from her and held her hand leading her inside.“Hi, Dad.” She greeted when she saw her Dad sitting in the living room. “How was your date?” He asked trying to get a reaction from George, and he su
Brielle was surprised at how she anticipated seeing him.“Does this mean that I missed him?” She asked herself. “No, I didn't” She pinched her cheeks, her phone rang bringing her out of her thinking, and her stomach slipped immediately after seeing the caller.“Hi.” She said when she picked up the call.“How are you?” “I'm fine.”“I got your test.” She sent him a ‘thank you’ test for allowing her to stay in his place and that she would be staying in her father’s house.She hesitated before she answered.“Yeah.”“Elle, can we meet up today?” She gave it a thought, not knowing what to say, what if George arrives while she is out to meet him?“I'm still here.”“Huh, sorry about that, yeah we can meet.” She said before she could even give it another thought.“Ok, I will pick you up in the next few minutes.”“Yeah, ok bye.” The call disconnected, and she stared at herself in the mirror, she never planned on seeing him so soon, until she got her life together and solved things out with Ge
“Elle, please listen to me.” George let out immediately as she picked up the call. The other side went quiet at his words. “I'm really sorry for the way everything is playing, all I'm asking is that we meet, I want to tell you everything, I want you to see the truth in all of this, which will be better if we meet.”She didn't reply and disconnected the call, she stared at her phone like it was a foreign object, before dropping it and going into the bathroom not before making a mental note to call Nana when she comes out.She stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later and picked up her phone to call Nana. “Nana.” She called out immediately the call line connected.“Elle, you scared me.”“I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking right and left.”“I understand, but try to kill this old woman before her time, she has a lot to do.” Brielle giggles at her words.“Nana, you are old, what else do you plan to do?”“Witness you walk down the aisle and then carry your baby.” Brielle ran her fingers a
She heard a knock on her door, and she took in a deep breath before going to open the door, knowing who was behind it.“Just hear me out, please.” She blurted immediately she opened the door and saw him standing there.“I'm so sorry the way things turned between us, I never wished it happened this way.” It was like she couldn't remember all the have practiced to tell him, nothing was coming out of her mouth again. She stood rooted at her spot gaping at him.“I understand, I also wish my heart didn't have to make such a decision, I'm sorry for allowing you to get in my head.” Brielle felt bad at his words, she was all ready to give him a try but with her present situation, it would be impossible.“Noah please don't say it like that, I wish this was another circumstance I would have accepted you, but with my present condition I can't.”“Brielle I knew of your condition before pouring my heart to you.” “No, you don't about it, how would it make you feel if I accepted your request while
“This Is Brielle.”“Oh.”“Is Noah with you?”“Yes.”“Could you please give him the phone?”“He is sleeping right now, after going on and on about how you are avoiding him because he confessed to you about how he feels.”“I wasn't avoiding him, I was only trying to get my shit life together and face him.”“You should tell him that when he returns.”“When is he coming back?”“I don't know, but he thinks leaving the house will give you the space you want and make you move freely.”Brielle felt bad instantly at his words.“Please when he gets up, tell him to call me, I want to speak with him.”“I will do just that.” She disconnected the call immediately and slumped in her bed.Everything seemed to be happening so fast, she taking the risk to confess her love to George, only to walk in on the most unimaginable news, and then Noah, she didn’t know why he chose to do this at this vulnerable time, her stomach churned to remind of another problem she was facing, she felt nauseous and ran to th
Brielle was perplexed after last night's event, she never expected Noah to go about the whole situation in that manner, he didn't allow her to say anything, asking her to think about it. She stayed awake the whole of the night trying to digest the whole situation happenings in her life. She was overwhelmed by her growing feelings for him, but her heart still aches whenever she remembers George.“I wish things didn't go this way.” She held her hair tightly, groaning.“I can't even look him straight in the eyes.” She stayed in bed most of the morning lamenting the way things turned out.The knock on her door brought her back from reverie. She walked reluctantly to the door, knowing the person behind it. “You should come down and eat, you have been up all night.”“Huh.” She let out, surprised how he knew. “I will be down in a few minutes.” She shut the door immediately and leaned her back against it. “Shit he knew, but how.” She smirked at nobody before dashing into the bathroom to ge
“Have you been able to reach out to her yet?” Michael asked George who sat behind his desk working on his system.“I think I will give her a little time to get over all the drama.” He replied.“Do you know where she is now?” “She flew out of the country, probably she is with her father.” “I think you should try to reach out to her now.”“I would like to do this the way I wish.”“Anything that goes well for you.” Michael left his office with that. George decided to give Brielle a space after he found out last night that she left the country. Maybe it will help her to calm down. ***************“It's been two days, won't you ask why I'm here?” Brielle asked Noah as they had their dinner. “I believe you tell me when you are comfortable.” She shrugged it off and continued with her food, she was surprised by his action, she expected him to throw questions at her, but he kept his calm and didn't bother her. She wanted him to ask her what the problem was, she wanted to see him care, but
“I'm here to see George.” “And who are you?” The Secretary sized Sapphire, “And any appointment with him?”She glared at him and walked towards the office.“No no, you can't just go to his office.” He ran from his desk to stop her, but before he could get to her, she sprinted and ran into the office. “What the hell are you doing here?” George half yelled when Sapphire burst into his office.“I'm sorry sir.” The secretary apologized. “And you let her pass you, I don't think you need this job anymore if you can't handle an intruder.”“I'm so sorry sir.” he apologized again with his head bowed, scared to stare at him in the eyes. “I think you should face me, not him.”“And what the hell do you think you are doing in my office?”“Ohh, I knew it, I was a fool to be nothing to your promises.” The secretary took that as his cue to leave.“Just leave now, we will sought everything out later.”“No no, I ain't going anywhere, we will talk here and now, and I demand answers to my questions,
Brielle woke up all sore, she felt a heavy hand draped around her waist, she noticed George stir, and she closed her eyes again. She missed his touch the seconds he removed his hand from her waist, but she refused to open her eyes. “When will you be tired of pretending?” She closed her eyes tight, she felt him peck her on her lips, he lingered on her lips for quite a time.“Get off me.” She jerked up from the bed, pushing his chest.“I thought that's what you wanted.” He smirked, and she rolled her eyes at him. She tried to get down from the bed, but her legs betrayed her, and her thighs were hurting. She knew she needed his help to get to the toilet, but she was hesitant to ask him.“Do you need my help?”“You wish, I could get there by myself.”“Are you sure, 'cause I thought I heard you hiss?”“Quite well, thanks.”He turned and continued working with his laptop. “I thought you wanted to leave the room.”“You want me gone?”“No, yes.” She answered confused, as she couldn't bear t
