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
NEXT MORNING Frederick and Clement were ready with the documents. Clement dialed Alex's line but couldn't reach him."I think this guy is making use of a burner phone," Clement said."I have thought of that too, I tried to track his location but couldn't," Frederick replied.Clement's phone rang amidst their discussion."It's him," he whispered to Frederick."The documents are ready," Clement said immediately after he answered the call."Great. Hand them over to Frederick. I'll tell him where to meet me. I'm sure you didn't involve the police, because if you did. Your little bitch here will pay the prize," Alex Wright threatened."I'm not a bitch, you nitwit," Rosaline's voice sounded from the phone."Rose," Clement whispered. "Don't get emotional yet, old man. Give the phone over to her dear husband," Alex requested."I do not have a husband. I'm not married," Rosaline's angry voice sounded yet again from the phone."You have talked too much for a day. Mute her," Alex ordered."Lay
"Rosaline!" Frederick screamed when he saw Rosaline fall to the ground. "Are you alright?" Frederick asked once he got to Rosaline. He held her hands and tried to help her rise to her feet. But Rosaline pushed him off and he fell to the ground."Lay your filthy hands on me one more time and I will show you what I'm made of," Rosaline threatened.Frederick sat on the ground, where he had fallen and stared at her in disbelief.Meanwhile, Alex lay on the ground groaning in pain. The gunshot that had echoed was from the shot one of the policemen fired at him. He held his bleeding shoulder and crawled toward his gun which had fallen off his hand when he got shot. Before his hand could reach the gun, it was kicked away from his reach."Cuff him," The leader of the troop ordered.Alex Wright was cuffed along with his men. The police led them out of the dungeon."This is not over yet, Frederick Mills. Do not forget, your entire asset and more is now in my name," Alex Wright threatened."Rest
