"We found this," a guard said and handed two bottles containing pills to Clement.Clement examined the bottles closely, then turned to Ashton."What is a sex stimulant and sleeping pill doing in your pocket?"Ashton stayed silent as he was short of words at that moment. He never expected them to search him. "Will you answer the question or should I force you to answer?" Clement asked."Fuck it. Don't you get it, I'm a guy with sexual needs, and what those items are doing in my pocket is my business, not yours," Ashton answered."Once my family finds out that you are holding me captive. The business collaboration will be canceled. So you better let me go if you still want the collaboration," Ashton added.Hearing him talk about collaboration, Clement now knew that he was indeed a Mills. However, for Rosaline's safety, he still surfed the internet for the Mills family picture. When he saw Ashton's photo there, he ordered for Ashton to be untied and led him out of the dungeon.Clement s
The driver swelled, veered, and deviated the car in different directions to stop the impending doom but all to no avail. The car headed right for the bridge. Rosaline tensed, tears streamed down her face."To whichever God out there. Please save me and my unborn," she prayed earnestly. Rosaline clenched her fist against her dress, held her baby bump, and shut her eyes, ready for the worst to happen.The driver relentlessly marched the brake nonstop, but it seemed like it was of no use. He said a silent prayer as the car inched closer to the bridge. A few meters to the bridge, the driver mustered all the strength he could and forcefully marched the brakes. The car's unharmed tyre screeched loudly and the car stopped abruptly.When Rosaline felt the car stop moving, she slowly opened her eyes. Rosaline, seeing that the car had indeed stopped moving, immediately opened the car door and leaped out of the car. Immediately her feet touch the ground she felt herself get hit by a wave of naus
Frederick found it hard to concentrate on work. His head kept aching. He massaged it multiple times, but all to no avail. It reached an extent where he could barely keep his eyes open. The headache was making his eyes shut as if wanting him to fall asleep. Frederick shut the documents he was working on and leaned on his seat. His throbbing head made him groan painfully. He entered the adjoining bathroom in his office and poured water on his head. But instead of calming the headache, it seemed to accelerate. Frederick staggered back to his office in pain. He couldn't even lift himself to sit on the chair, he sat on the ground and rested his head on the wall. When the ache kept increasing, Frederick knew he had to go to the hospital. But sadly his aching head was blinding his vision and he also had no strength to lift himself from the ground. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number on his speed dial. "Come to my office right now," he said and hung up.He eventuall
Rosaline's eyes fluttered open. She groaned in pain as she felt her head ache. She tried to raise her hand to massage her head but failed. She looked down at her hands, only to see them chained to the arms of the seat she was in. Memories of how she ended here came crashing into her mind immediately. "Alex Wright, that bastard!" she cursed.She began to forcefully pull her hands to free them from the chains. But who was she kidding, she failed."Let me out of here, someone?" She screamed."My earbuds are hurting from your screams," Alex Wright drew lazily from where he sat watching her.Rosaline's brows furrowed on seeing him."You murderer!" She yelled.Alex Wright yawned as if her words didn't make any sense."Let me go you psycho," Rosaline yelled."The earlier you realize that shouting won't do you any good, the better for you," Alex Wright barked."Look around you missy. Do you think anyone can find you here? The walls here are soundproof, soundproof, even if someone does come
"This is not the time to take questions. We would have to act together to get her back and get rid of him.""I'm still confused, why would Alex Wright abduct Rosaline?" he asked, his facial expression showing that he was really confused.Clement sighed and briefed him on everything."He wants me to transfer all my assets to him," Clement filled him in.Frederick was speechless. His heart burned and he felt worry cloud his mind."I'm going to bring that bastard down myself," Frederick swore."Shh. He is calling, Clement informed him. and gestured for him to keep shut. Then, answered the call."I see that Rosaline's beloved husband came to you. Well, that's great. Because now I also want all the Mills assets as well. Transfer everything to my name within 2 days or forget about her," Alex Wright threatened."Now missy, won't you say Hi to family," Alex Wright teased."Fucker, bastard, idiot murderer," Rosaline spat.Frederick, on hearing her voice, couldn't stop himself from speaking."B
"Lover?" Robert asked, confused. But no one paid attention to him.Martha sent a death glare in Frederick's direction."Look at me like that again and I will scrape out your eyes," Frederick warned."I told you I do not know anything about Alex's whereabouts. Why am I still cuffed?" Martha asked with gritted teeth."Because he is your lover," Frederick replied."Bring her outside," he ordered his men."Martha, have you been having an affair behind my back?" Robert questioned."I'm cuffed and about to be taken to God knows where. And all you do is ask if I'm having an affair?" Martha asked, pretending to be really angry."Answer my question, Martha!" Robert barked.Clement chuckled when Martha didn't say a word."I will answer the question," Clement butted in."Your wife is having an affair with Alex Wright. The highest shareholder. No, let me rephrase that, the soon to be CEO of your company," Clement revealed.""Drag that whore out," Clement ordered.Martha was roughly pulled out of
Ashton, who was yet to be informed of Rosaline's abduction, was busy trying to figure out ways to make Rosaline terminate her pregnancy. To him, Rosaline was supposed to have his child, not Frederick's. He was the first to confess his feelings to her, not Frederick. He was going to do anything to make her his. Even if it includes hurting Frederick. After all, Frederick had also hurt him. Frederick had taken the entire family wealth for himself, without giving any to him. "Ashton," Bradley called.Ashton, who was dressed up and about to leave the house to go on his quest in terminating Rosaline's pregnancy, paused and looked at him."What is it?" he asked."Come sit. I have something to tell you," Bradley said coolly."I'm about to go out. We can talk later," Ashton said and walked off. But was stopped from leaving the house by the guards who blocked his path."What is the meaning of this?" he barked."Get out of my way this instant," Ashton thundered."They won't unless I tell them t
The two cars pulled up inside the Marks garage. Clement and Frederick, were the first to step out, followed by the guards, who forcefully dragged Martha out."Take her to the dungeon and tie her up," Clement instructed.He and Frederick entered the mansion and went to his study."I can't help but worry about Rose's safety," Clement complained."Words can't explain how worried and annoyed I feel right now. I keep blaming myself for what my gem is going through right now. If only I didn't forget. If only memories of that night didn't leave my mind. Then my baby won't be in this situation, right now," Frederick lamented.Clement sighed."Listen, with all that has been happening, asking you this completely left my memory," Clement said."Asking me what?" Frederick asked."What was the last thing you ate that day?" Clement asked."What day?" Frederick asked, confused."What other day, if not the day you lost your memory," Clement replied.Frederick stayed silent for a while as he thought o
