Lay low, Find betrayal The veterinarian swallowed nervously, realizing he had no choice but to comply. "Okay, okay. Just please don't hurt me." Chris nodded, satisfied for the moment. "Good. And remember, if anything happens to him, I'll come back for you."As Chris stood guard by the door, his mind raced with thoughts of their next move. "We need to lay low for a while, Camren. Until we figure out who set us up and why," Chris muttered, staring intensely at the unconscious Camren.While still being attended to by the veterinary doctor, Camren regained consciousness but was still weak to speak. The words of Chris gave him the strength and determination he needed.Camren groaned in pain, but his eyes were sharp with determination. "Agreed. But we can't let this slide. We need to find out who betrayed us and make them pay," He groaned.Chris nodded grimly. "We will. But first, we need to focus on getting you back on your feet.""You need to be on the run for now as you'll be wanted
Cozy nightAfter the incident and misunderstanding that happened between David and Isabella, their love story seemed to have a little shake. Each of them were busy with work and their separate companies. David was still oblivious of Isabella's company. Everything seemed to calm down, everyone one on the low. There was no sign of Camren anywhere. The lives of everyone were back to normal. Cops who sacrificed their lives during the attack were being laid to rest.The wailing and tears of the deceased rented the place as a figure majestically walked into the cemetery with an eyeglass on. He was obviously not known by anyone around."The sound of their cry is like music to my hearing," he muttered icily.Isabella was currently present as her distant Uncle was unfortunately among the deceased, she stood at a corner with a saddened face paying her last tribute to her uncle when she sighted the two people she list expected to see."Jackson!! Chris!! What are they doing here?" she whispered,
Jacob's defeatChris nodded, his jaw set in a grim line. "We won't, Camren. I'll make sure of it. But first, we need to gather more information. We need to know who's behind this and why." Chris said.With their resolve strengthened, Chris and Camren set out into the night, their hearts heavy with the weight of their mission. Little did they know, their journey would lead them down a dangerous path filled with betrayal, deception, and ultimately, redemption."I have a suspect in mind," Chris announced They navigated the dimly lit street taking a troll in the outskirts of the city."Who do you suspect?" Camren asked, his voice low and cautious.Chris glanced around, making sure they weren't being followed before speaking. "I think it's Jacob. He's been acting suspiciously ever since the incident, and I wouldn't put it past him to betray us."Camren nodded thoughtfully. "It makes sense. He's always been ambitious, willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. But we need solid proof b
Resolved RomanceYvonne angrily started avoiding Chris and getting closer to other male workers in the company. She chose to keep a distance for the sake of her sanity.Chris has been noticing the sudden change of attitude in Yvonne. Her professional way of doing things around him, her rude way of talking to him.She was walking down the hallway, the sound of her heel making a clicking sound when someone forcefully dragged her to a corner of the hallway."Ahhhhhh…..," Yvonne tried to scream but her breath seized when she was forcefully kissed. No"Why are you keeping your distance from me," Chris's voice sounded hoarse while he pinned her to the wall."Ahh, let go of me. You're hurting me," Yvonne whimpers, freeing herself from his grip."I need an answer, Yvonne. Why are you avoiding me and what's your relationship with those male workers," he demanded."What sort of a question is that Chris?. What I do with my personal life is non of your business. Neither am I avoiding you. We have
Shocking revelation Chris was surprised and shocked. He had decided to keep his relationship with Yvonne a secret. He pondered on how Mariah got to figure out his new relationship."How did you figure out my relationship with Yvonne?" Chris asked with surprise written over him."I overheard your confession to Yvonne. Once again congratulations! I'd take my leave now," she walked out of the office not waiting for his next reply, with a heavy heart she accepted reality.With newfound resolve, Mariah began to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart, slowly but surely stitching them back together. She focused on rebuilding her life, on rediscovering who she was outside of her relationship with Chris.And though the road ahead would be long and difficult, Mariah knew that she was capable of overcoming any obstacle that stood in her way. With each passing day, she grew stronger, more resilient, more determined to carve out a for herself that was free from the pain of the past.As she sto
Hidden truth disclosed David snapped back to the present, his focus returning to the matter at hand. "Yes, of course, Jackson. I look forward to it. Thank you for your partnership."With a final nod of acknowledgment, Jackson took his leave, leaving David to wrestle with the unsettling thoughts that now plagued his mind.As the door closed behind Jackson, David turned to Jacob, his expression troubled. "What did he mean by that, Aiden? What does he know about Isabella?" David asked his assistant, his mind racing wild.But Aiden merely shrugged, his expression inscrutable. "Oh, nothing, Sir. Just something to think about. Just remember, not everything is as it seems."With those cryptic words hanging in the air, David was left feeling more unsettled than ever. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Isabella than met the eye, and he was determined to uncover the truth, no matter what it mightreveal."I'll be back," he informed and rushed out of the boardroom leaving Aide

"David, are you serious?" she exclaimed, a radiant smile lighting up her face.David nodded, his own smile mirroring hers. "Absolutely, Isabella. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"Tears of happiness welled up in Isabella's eyes as she threw her arms around David, pulling him into a tight embrace. "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion.As they held each other close, the weight of their decision sank in, filling them both with a sense of excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead.Over the coming weeks, Isabella and David threw themselves into the whirlwind of wedding planning.

Dreams come through Isabella nodded understandingly, squeezing Kim's shoulder gently. "I know it's not easy, but we're stronger than you think. We've come so far since then," she reassured her friend.Kim managed a small smile, grateful for Isabella's support. "Thanks, Isa. I don't know what I'd do without you," she admitted, her eyes misting up with emotion."Same Kim. You're my backbone," she said hugging KimShe pulled out while they continued their journey. The two friends continued walking in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

She was about to embark on a new chapter of her life with David, and nothing was going to dampen her spirits.As they reached Isabella's car, Kim turned to her friend with a determined look in her eyes. "Isa, I need to tell you something," she began, her voice serious.Isabella furrowed her brow, sensing the gr
A second chance, forgiveness and love prevailsTears began to come out of Yvonne's eyes and she began to shake her hand. "Doctor," Isabella called out.The doctor rushed into the room, quickly assessing the situation. He checked Yvonne's vital signs and nodded to Isabella with a reassuring smile. "She's coming around," he said. "You did the right thing by coming here."Isabella exhaled deeply, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders. She looked at Yvonne, who was beginning to stir. The doctor signaled for a nurse to assist and then gently asked Isabella to step outside for a moment while they attended to Yvonne.Outside the ward, Isabella leaned against the wall, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. David and Kiera, who had been waiting anxiously, approached her."How is she?" David asked, concern etched on his face."She's waking up," Isabella replied, her voice soft. "I think... I think she'll be okay."David wrapped an arm around Isabella, pulling her close. "You did a brave thing, g
Captured"Yvonne, stop this madness!" Isabella shouted. "This isn’t what Chris would have wanted. Think of your daughter. Think of what you’re teaching her."Yvonne’s resistance wavered, and for a moment, it seemed as though she might relent. But then, with a surge of strength, she threw Isabella off and scrambled to her feet. Before Yvonne could do anything more, a voice rang out from the entrance of the garden."Freeze! Police!"A group of officers stormed into the garden, guns drawn. Yvonne's face fell as she realized her plan had been thwarted. The masked man tried to flee but was quickly apprehended by the officers.Isabella rushed to her daughter, enveloping her in a tight hug. Tears streamed down her face as she held her close, relief washing over her in waves. David, freed by one of the officers, joined them, wrapping his arms around both of them.Yvonne was restrained by the police, her face a mask of defeat and sorrow. She looked at Isabella, a mix of hatred and grief in her
Tension Isabella arrived at the garden. She saw Yvonne there. "Excuse me. You were speaking to me? It felt abrupt all of a sudden," Isabella said, looking at Yvonne, whose back was turned to her. Yvonne slowly turned to face her. "Surprise," she said and laughed. "Thought you got rid of me?" "Yvonne? What are you doing here?" Isabella asked, nervously. "I'm here to surprise you, my dear. You guys succeeded in killing my husband and making me a widow and my daughter, fatherless. Guess, you forgot, an eye for an eye. Look over there," she said, pointing. Isabella followed her finger. She saw David tied up, down the garden. "How did you get my husband? Release my husband now, before I call the police on you.""Don't be stupid, Isabella. Did you think I came without a plan? They are bringing your daughter, now. The deal is, you can only save one person. There will be a timer. If the time runs out, one of them will die. Oh, that's her over there.""How dare you involve my child in th
Yvonne returns. "Just stay safe, Yvonne. And take care of that little girl.""I will," Yvonne promised, hugging her friend before leaving.With the passports in hand, Yvonne booked the next flight out of the country. She used a series of cash transactions to avoid any digital trails. She knew it was only a matter of time before the police caught up with her, and she couldn’t afford any mistakes.On the day of their flight, Yvonne felt a mix of fear and determination. She dressed Emily in simple clothes, making sure they looked as inconspicuous as possible. As they boarded the plane, she couldn’t help but glance around nervously, expecting to see police officers at any moment.But the flight went smoothly. As the plane took off, Yvonne held Emily’s hand, feeling a glimmer of hope for the first time in days. They were leaving behind a life of fear and uncertainty, heading towards a future where they could finally be free. Yvonne bursted out in laughter, in a loud evil laugh. Hours lat
Away for a while.Yvonne stepped out of the hospital, while the cool night air hit her like a wave, momentarily shocking her out of her grief. But it was quickly replaced by a seething rage that coursed through her veins. She pulled the hood of her sweatshirt over her head, determined to stay hidden as she walked through the city streets. She needed to think, to plan. She needed to make them pay.Her first stop was to collect their daughter, Emily, from her sister’s house. Emily had been staying there for the past few weeks while Chris was on the run. Yvonne’s sister, Melissa, was supportive but wary of Chris’s lifestyle, and Yvonne knew she’d have to be careful about how much she told her.Melissa answered the door, her face etched with concern. "Yvonne, what’s going on? I heard about Chris on the news. Are you okay?""No, I’m not," Yvonne said, her voice steady but cold. "Chris is dead. The police shot him."Melissa gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "Oh my God, I’m so sorry.""I
Lurking in the dark. "We have informations of Chris's whereabout. The Police officers are getting ready to invade, Chris's hideout. When we have a leak, we will let you know," Detective Martinez informed Isabella. "Thank you so much," Isabella said. "But, Chris is very cunny. What if he outsmarts the Police and escape, just like Yvonne did?""Well, all we plan is to arrest him and bring him into custody. When we catch him, we will hold him at gunpoint. If he tries to outsmart us, they will release fire at him," Detective Martinez explained. "Oh, alright. All I want is for him to be caught. He is a threat to our lives," Isabella said, eagerly. Detective Martinez nodded, his face serious but understanding. "We will do everything in our power to ensure he is apprehended and no longer a threat."Isabella watched as the detective left her home, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on her shoulders. Chris had been a constant menace, always one step ahead, and his cunning nature
Unexpected They eventually reached David's line and told him everything. He said he was calling the police station, immediately. David suggested they returned to the building before the police officers arrive and rescue, Elvis's mum, Felicia. Isabella and Elvis went back to the building and***“We have to go Felicia. Your son is a strong and good man. At least he did the right thing,” Isabella said. Elvis couldn't escape with us. He was captured by Yvonne's men. But, the police officers had arrived and they were sending messages through their speakers, that the other men should drop their weapons and come out, before the invade the building. Isabella was worried about Elvis, but he had told her to get his family to safety and didn't care if he himself, died. Immediately, a gunshot went off. Isabella and Felicia panicked. “I heard a gunshot. What if it was him they shot?” Felicia asked, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Elvis has been nothing but a good and caring son. He cared
UnitedIsabella and Elvis hurried to the building where Isabella’s child was being held hostage. They arrived at the building. “Give me my child, Isabella said as she opened the door and rushed in.“Who are you? I can’t give you this child. This child has been put under my care by Yvonne.”Elvis got into the room at once. “Mom, please hand over the child to her. It’s her child.”“But this was never the plan,” mom said in awe.“I know mom, but you have to trust me. I want to do the right thing, mum.”“Yvonne will hurt us, if she finds out.”“Think mum. What if it was your child, mum? You are a mother. You should understand her pain,” Elvis said. “Let’s do the right thing. Trust me, I’ll protect you and our family. I won’t allow Yvonne to hurt us. Once we get them to safety. We will leave this state. I already made arrangements. And if anything happens to me, you and our family will still leave the states. Don’t worry mum. We have everything in control.”Isabella held her breath as she
OutsmartedIsabella was able to free herself from the rope they had tied her up with. She waited for the right time to strike at Yvonne. “Don’t try to hurt my child. Don’t forget you have a child.”“Where is that toughness coming from?” Yvonne asked, as she walked close to me. What do you think you can do? Who is going to come for your rescue? No one. You are all alone in this. So stop acting like you got some back up. David won’t even save you. He has a lot on his mind. He doesn’t suspect I kidnapped you and your child. How then, do you think he would find you guys and rescue you? How do you think you’ll find my own child and get revenge? In your weird dreams.” She let out a mocking laugh.“Well, if anything happens to my daughter, I won’t rest till I get my revenge. An eye for an eye.”Yvonne laughed again. “You really have some guts, don’t you?”Isabella gave Elvis a sign, at once.Elvis understood the signal and subtly moved closer to Yvonne, ready to intervene if needed.
