Chapter 17Lyon and Kathryn grew fond of themselves, as Kathryn worked on helping him achieve his goals, “if that would draw him closer to me, then I won't stop him,” she had said to herself.“Knock! Knock!” Someone called from behind the door, Fiona rushed to get the door, it was her sister, Trisha.She was all smiles as she held out her hand for a hug, as usual, Kathryn was sluggish but still hugged her.“How're you, Mrs Alberto?” Trisha asked, taking a seat, she crossed her legs, wiggling them, her hands spread out on the soft sofa.“Trisha, the warrior!” Kathryn hailed as both stole glances from each other, they burst out laughing making Fiona peep into their conversation.“Madam Trisha, do you need anything?” Fiona asked with chuckers.Trisha eyed her, checking around as though she wasn't the only Trisha in the house, “Who is this one being formal with?” She asked, her legs uncrossed now. “Madam, come and sit here, I know you real good..” she added.“Know me? Like?” Fiona asked,

Chapter 18Suddenly, the door cracked open. The sound wasn’t loud, but it was enough to catch their attention. All three women turned their heads in unison, their laughter dying down as they waited to see who it was. Lyon stepped into the room, his usual calm and confident self. His eyes swept over them, and he smiled warmly. “Looks like I walked into something interesting,” he said casually, closing the door behind him. Kathryn, still catching her breath from all the laughing, smiled back at him. “Lyon, we were just talking... nothing serious.” He nodded, his gaze shifting to Trisha. “Trisha, it’s good to see you again,” he said, his tone polite but friendly. “Welcome, Lyon,” Trisha replied, her voice steady but with a hint of her usual boldness. Lyon turned to Kathryn and leaned down to peck her cheek softly. “I’ll be upstairs,” he said, his voice gentle. With that, he straightened up and strode out of the room, his steps calm and measured, leaving the door slightly ajar b

Chapter 19Kathryn’s eyes lit up. “That’s smart. People appreciate when you meet them where they are. And what about the board? How are you handling them?” “That’s where it gets tricky,” Lyon admitted. “Some of them are already backing other candidates. But I’ve been meeting with them individually, presenting my vision, showing them why aligning with me is better long-term.” Kathryn raised a brow. “Is it working?” “Yes, by the way, my influence too,” Lyon said, his tone honest. “It’s not easy convincing people. I’ve got more people on my side right now. It’s all about persistence.” Kathryn smiled, proud of him. “You’re really giving it your all, aren’t you?” “I have to,” Lyon said, leaning closer to her. “This isn’t just about me. It’s about us. If I win, it changes everything.” “You have it,” Kathryn said immediately, her voice firm. “You don’t even have to ask.” Lyon smiled at her, reaching out to take her hand. “That means more to me than you know.” Kathryn squeezed

Chapter 20I thought a gust of wind might send us flying into the sky with you, with your hair like that..” Kathryn continued.Fiona’s eyes widened. “Oh, so now we’re coming for my hair, huh?”Kathryn laughed, holding her hands up in mock surrender. “No, no, I love it. It’s just... a lot to handle some days.”Trisha chimed in, “Yeah, Fiona, you’ve got enough volume to make a cloud jealous.”They all burst into laughter again, the kind of laughter that felt like it could go on forever. The teasing was playful, light-hearted, and just what they needed to keep the mood easy.Fiona put her hands on her hips, shaking her head, but the smile on her face betrayed her. “You two are impossible. I thought I’d get a compliment today, but I see how it is.”Kathryn smiled. “We do love the glam, Fiona. You just might need to tame it down when we’re around. It’s like a walking hurricane some days.”“Oh, so now I’m a hurricane,” Fiona said, pretending to be offended. “What’s next? A tornado?”“Exactl

Chapter 21Lyon's eyes turned red seeing, Kathryn was in hold of the picture. He couldn't shake off the feeling that, she'd find out, he was a murderer.“Get out! Out!” He yelled, he sounded so cold, even Kathryn saw it.Kathryn was teary as she dropped the picture, even though, she didn't see who it was in the picture.She held her hands out, held her mouth and ran out of Lyon's study.What has he done?Lyon noticed the harm he has done. That picture? It wouldn't have been there if Wendy hadn't sent it in her usual cunning way.

She had cried in his very eyes.But that didn't change the fact that she was meddling with matters that didn't concern her, was there something in his life that didn't concern her really? Maybe, she could have stayed away from the picture.Lyon wasn't someone that allows anyone into his study but, he thought they were getting along well, no

Chapter 22Trisha drove into the compound with a speed that made the security guard at the gate wave nervously. She barely noticed him, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as her mind raced. The moment her car came to a halt, she jumped out, slamming the door shut without care. She was on a mission. As she approached the house, she spotted Fiona standing outside, wringing her hands anxiously. Fiona’s eyes widened as she saw Trisha coming, her face a mixture of relief and worry. “Fiona,” Trisha called out, her voice firm but laced with urgency. “What’s going on? Did something happen to Kathryn?” Fiona hesitated, her hands clasped together. “I don’t know exactly,” she admitted, her voice soft. “She hasn’t come out of her room since last night. I’ve tried talking to her, but she won’t open the door. She’s been crying. I could hear her sobbing all night…” Hearing this, Trisha didn’t wait another second. She took off toward the front door, pushing it open with determinati

Chapter 23“I missed you,” Kathryn said finally, her voice muffled. “Oh, my baby,” her mom replied, pulling back just enough to look at her face. “I missed you so much. What took you so long to come home?” Kathryn smiled weakly, trying to hold back more tears. “Life,” she said simply. Their mom nodded, cupping Kathryn’s face in her hands. “You’re here now, and that’s what matters.” Trisha leaned against the wall, watching the reunion with a satisfied smile. “Told you this was a good idea,” she said, crossing her arms. Their mom turned to Trisha and swatted her playfully. “You should have told me! I would’ve prepared something special.” Kathryn laughed softly, wiping her eyes. “You’re always prepared, Mom.” Their mom chuckled, pulling both of them into a group hug. “Come inside, both of you. Tell me everything. I want to hear it all.” ——Kathryn sat on the old familiar couch, running her fingers over the fabric. It felt strange but comforting to be back. Her mom sat acr

Chapter 24The morning sun was soft, casting a glow over the Alberto mansion’s garden. Fiona was crouched low, her hands carefully trimming the overgrown edges of the flowerbed. The vibrant flowers swayed gently in the breeze as she worked, humming softly to herself. Her focus was sharp, making sure not to cut off the wrong stems. Just then, Martins strolled out from the side of the house, his usual easygoing stride carrying him toward her. He noticed how absorbed she was in her task and smirked slightly. “Still at it, Fiona?” he called out. She glanced up, brushing a strand of hair from her face, and narrowed her eyes. “These flowers won’t trim themselves,” she replied politely, but there was a teasing edge to her tone. He chuckled, stepping closer. “Is Lyon still inside?” “Yes,” Fiona said, her voice lowering slightly. She looked at the house briefly, then back to her work. Martins nodded and started for the door, his hand reaching for the handle. But just as he was about

Chapter 60A month passed in a jiffy. Finally, Lyon and Kathryn could have their baby.Lyon and Kathryn arrived at the hospital with quiet excitement, the kind that comes when you know life is about to change forever. The ride there had been mostly silent, Kathryn holding Lyon’s hand the entire way, her mind racing as Martins drove. For weeks, they had dreamed of this moment, and now it was finally here.When they stepped into the hospital, the halls were familiar, but everything felt different this time. There was no rush, no panic. Lyon held onto Kathryn gently as they made their way to the nursery.A nurse met them with a kind smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Alberto, I’ll get your son for you.”Kathryn’s breath caught as the nurse disappeared behind a door. Her fingers gripped Lyon’s arm. “I can’t believe we’re finally bringing him home,” she whispered.Lyon looked at her, his voice low and calm. “We’ve waited long enough.”The nurse returned, pushing a small bassinet with their baby in it, w

Chapter 59“It's a boy!” The doctor said, turning back, grabbing Lyon's hand, who was on his knees, for a handshake, “congratulations once again, Mr Lyon.”They weren't allowed in for some hours, though they stood at a distance.“You can see her now.” One of the nurses said as Lyon nodded.Lyon walked into the room quietly, the soft beeping of the machines filling the silence. He stood there for a moment, just watching Kathryn, her face peaceful as she slept. It felt unreal, how close he had come to losing her. But now she was here, still breathing, still alive. He could hardly believe it.Turning to Martins and James, Lyon spoke softly. “I need a minute with her,” he said, voice rough. “I’ll be out in a bit.”The two men nodded, understanding without needing to say much. They stepped out, leaving Lyon and Kathryn alone in the room.Lyon moved to her bedside, the sound of his footsteps too loud in the stillness. He sat down on the edge of the bed and took her hand gently in his, feeli

Chapter 58“Kathryn…!!!” Lyon shouted, his mouth opened wide.Kathryn’s scream echoed in the room, the sound of pain slicing through Lyon like a knife. He watched helplessly as she jerked in the chair, her leg buckling under the force of the shot. Blood began to pool around her, spreading across the floor, and Lyon’s mind went blank. He couldn’t breathe.Kathryn!” He shouted, struggling against the men holding him, his body trembling. She was everything to him. His life. His future. And now, this monster, Wendy, was trying to take her away from him.Kathryn’s breath was shallow, her face a mask of pain. Her body was shaking, but she still managed to look at Lyon, her eyes filled with tears.“Lyon... I... I’m sorry,” she whispered, but it barely registered through the haze of panic in his mind. He didn’t know if she was apologizing for what had happened, for what Wendy was doing to her... or maybe it was for something else.But he couldn’t think about that right now. He had to save he

Chapter 57Lyon had barely loosened the last knot on Kathryn’s restraints when a slow, deliberate clap echoed through the room. The sound was smug, sharp, like a knife slicing through the air.“Well, well, well…” Wendy’s voice came from the doorway, sickly sweet and dripping with malice. Lyon’s head snapped up, and there she stood, leaning against the frame with a cruel smirk plastered across her face. Two enormous men flanked her, their broad shoulders filling the entryway like silent, unmovable walls.“I’ve been expecting you, Lyon,” Wendy purred, taking a slow step into the room, her heels clicking against the floor. Her confidence oozed from every step, every calculated motion.Lyon’s entire body stiffened. He rose to his feet, shielding Kathryn instinctively as if his presence alone could protect her. “Wendy…” His voice was low, strained, fighting the rage building in his chest. “Why are you doing this? What do you want?”Wendy’s smirk deepened as her eyes locked with his. “You t

Chapter 56Lyon stepped off the plane, barely feeling the ground beneath his feet. The cool breeze brushed his face, but it didn't calm anything he was feeling.He pulled his phone out from his pocket, he dialed Martins’ number, his hand trembling slightly.“Where are you?” Lyon’s voice was tight, sharp, cutting through the noise of the bustling airport. His eyes darted around, scanning the crowd.“Right outside. I’m here.” Martins’ voice was steady but had that edge of urgency.Lyon pushed through the throngs of people.The noise, the movement, all of it was a blur. He didn’t stop until he spotted Martins near the car, waving with a slight tilt of his head. Without a word, Lyon slid into the passenger seat, the door slamming shut behind him. Martins pulled away from the curb, the tires rolling like they, too, knew there wasn’t time to waste.Inside the car, silence hung heavy. Lyon’s mind was racing, the weight of every possible outcome pressing down on him like bricks. His phone buz

Chapter 55Lyon gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white as the voice on the other end came through."We've found where Kathryn is," the voice said.Lyon stopped dead in his tracks. His heartbeat felt like it had jumped to his throat. "Where?" he said sharply, his voice low but steady."An old warehouse just outside the city," the voice continued, pausing for a second. "But Lyon… it's Wendy. She's not working alone. There's something off about everything.”Lyon’s mind raced, staring straight at the empty space ahead of him. Wendy. Of course. “Wendy’s cunning. This isn’t going to be simple, but, it will.” Lyon muttered to himself. He exhaled sharply through his nose, trying to keep his rage in check. “Listen, make more investigation. Keep a close eye on Wendy. I’ll be there in two hours.”“Understood.” The line went dead.Lyon lowered the phone and closed his eyes for a moment, trying to steady the storm coming up inside him. When he opened them again, they were cold and

Chapter 54MR LYON ALBERTO–ALLEGED MULDER DISMISSED FROM HIS CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION AT OIL GAS WORLD WIDE.Trisha read from the headies, everything happened so fast and Trisha imagined the string this Wendy lady pulled, because it seemed like she connected everything waiting to pull and she did.“Where are we headed right now?” Inquisitive, Trisha inquired.“The station,” Martins replied. “We have to get our next line of action from Lyon.”———Kathryn gasped awake, the shock of ice-cold water jolting her back to life. Her chest heaved, her hair soaked and sticking to her face. She blinked, trying to clear her vision, and that’s when she saw her.Wendy. She stood there smirking, arms crossed like she’d been waiting for this moment all her life.Wendy let out a slow, cruel laugh. “Oh, look who’s awake. Did you enjoy your little nap, Kathryn?”Kathryn didn’t answer, her heart pounding in her chest. Her wrists ached where the ropes dug into her skin, her ankles just as trapped. “Wendy… wh

Chapter 53Lyon's mind was racing, trying to piece together the situation. His gut told him something wasn’t right. “I have this feeling... It is Wendy. I just know it.”Martins stood quietly beside him, his arms crossed as he observed the scene. He didn’t speak at first, just watching Lyon carefully. “The police should be reporting back soon,” Martins said, his voice calm despite the tension. “But we can’t just wait for them. This is moving too fast.”Lyon paused in his pacing and turned to look at Martins. There was a silent understanding between them, and Lyon’s gaze hardened. He didn’t need anyone to tell him what to do. He had to act now.He turned back to Trisha, crouching down in front of her. His eyes softened for a moment, though his voice was still firm. “Trisha, listen to me. We’ll find her. I promise you, we’ll bring Kathryn back.”Trisha’s eyes welled up with fresh tears as she looked at him. She shook her head slowly. “I should’ve... I should’ve done something. I was to

Chapter 52The sun was warm, and a light breeze rustled the trees. Kathryn let out a slow breath as they walked, taking it all in.“See? Feels nice, right?” Trisha said, glancing over at her.Kathryn nodded slowly. “I guess it’s not so bad.”“Not so bad?” Trisha laughed. “Please. I know you’re enjoying this.”A faint smile crept onto Kathryn’s face. “Maybe a little.”Trisha looked at her, her voice softening. “You’ve been through a lot, Kath. I know you don’t like to talk about it, but you’re back now. That’s all that matters.”Kathryn glanced down, her steps slowing a bit. “It’s just... sometimes I don’t know if I’m ready. Being here again... it’s not easy.”Trisha squeezed her arm gently. “One step at a time. That’s all you need to do. And when you don’t feel strong enough, I’ll remind you that you are.”Kathryn looked at her sister, her throat tightening for a second. “Thanks, Trish. You always know what to say.”“Of course I do. It’s my job as your annoying little sister,” Trisha
