Intercepted 20.
Sarah rose with the first light of dawn, her movements careful not to disturb the man sleeping peacefully beside her. With a soft exhale, she slipped out of his embrace, her heart heavy with the weight of the secrets she carried. She tiptoed across the room, her gaze falling upon his unattended phone resting innocently on the table. A pang of guilt twisted in her chest as she hesitated, torn between the desire to reach out to her family and the fear of betraying Zakariah's trust. But the longing for connection won out in the end, and with trembling hands, she reached for the phone, her fingers hovering uncertainly over the screen. She stole a glance at Zakariah's sleeping form, his features softened in repose, before steeling herself to make the call. Her heart hammered in her chest as she dialed her parents' number, her breath catching in her throat as she waited for them to answer. With each ring, her anxiety mounted, her mind racing with a thousand different scenarios of what mi

The following weeks dawned with the familiar routine of dropping Sarah off at the hospital gates, Zakariah's gaze lingering on her form as she disappeared into the bustling corridors. Alone in the quiet confines of his car, he found himself at a loss, unsure of how to fill the hours until her shift's end. With a resigned sigh, he decided to occupy himself with a task he had long neglected—the hospital's financial records. As he pored over the meticulously kept books, Zakariah's mind wandered, drifting back to the absence of his beloved "kitten." It had been too long since she had been away from his side, her absence leaving a palpable void in his life. Though he trusted his people to keep a watchful eye on her, he couldn't shake the gnawing sense of unease that gnawed at his insides. In the days since their reunion, Zakariah had grown accustomed to having Sarah by his side—a constant presence that brought light and warmth into his otherwise solitary existence. Her absence now felt l

As Zakariah dialed a number on his phone, Sarah watched with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. She could only catch snippets of his conversation, but it was clear that he was speaking to someone important—perhaps his brother, given his earlier mention of seeking refuge at his place. As they continued their journey, Zakariah made a brief stop for fuel, hastily purchasing some food for Sarah as they had missed breakfast. Sarah gratefully accepted the meal, her stomach rumbling with hunger as she devoured the food. But their moment of respite was short-lived. As Zakariah paid the bill at the counter, his sharp eyes caught sight of armed rebels surrounding the shop, their menacing presence reflected in the mirror. Without hesitation, Zakariah sprang into action, his hand instinctively reaching for his pistol as he bolted towards their vehicle. "Fuck!" he cursed under his breath, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he raced to start the engine. "What...what is happening?"

With each passing moment, Zakariah's resolve strengthened, his determination to protect Sarah unwavering in the face of impending danger. As he steered his jeep away from her location, his heart raced with the urgency of their situation. She was his woman, his responsibility, and he would stop at nothing to ensure her safety—even if it meant risking his own life in the process. With a fierce determination driving him forward, Zakariah pushed the limits of his vehicle, pushing it to its maximum speed in a desperate bid to put as much distance between them and their pursuers as possible. But fate had other plans in store, and before long, the strain proves too much for the aging jeep, its engine sputtering and wheezing before finally giving out altogether. Undeterred by the setback, Zakariah's instincts kicked into overdrive as he swiftly assessed the situation. With a quick maneuver, he veered the jeep towards an oncoming black van, the impact sending it careening off the road and in

"Adi, have you finished your homework?" Sarah's voice reverberated through the modest apartment, cutting through the quiet hum of the late afternoon. She had just returned from her job, the fatigue evident in the lines etched on her face as she found her son, Adam, engrossed in a pile of toys strewn across the living room floor."Mum, I'm playing now," Adam responded, his attention still fixed on the colorful array of toys before him.Sarah sighed softly, the weariness of the day settling heavily upon her shoulders. "Adam, you know you have to finish your homework first," she gently reminded him, her voice tinged with a hint of exasperation."But it's finished already," Adam replied casually, finally tearing his gaze away from his toys to meet his mother's tired eyes.Sarah's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten as she processed her son's words.

"Adam, my darling, are you hurt anywhere?" she murmured, her voice choked with emotion as she scanned his small frame for any sign of injury."I'm okay, Mom," Adam replied, his voice muffled against her shoulder.

He had meticulously orchestrated this operation, rallying his loyal associates and assembling a formidable backup force to accompany him. Their vehicles trailed behind, maintaining a discreet distance as they shadowed his every move.As he approached the building, Zakariah was accosted by a group of rebels who promptly subjected him to a thorough frisking.

'He is your son, Zakariah ', she finally revealed the truth in a hoarse voice.Zakariah stilled in his tracks.My son!He was still trying to process her words.He turned to look back at her, furrowed forehead, and his burning eyes held questions for her!She quickly opened the file, which she carried with her, and took out a photograph.'His name is Adam, and he is five years old', Sarah said and extended her arm towards him to look at it.Zakariah's hand trembled slightly as he stared at the photograph in his hands, his emotions swirling like a tempest within him. The image depicted a smiling young boy, his steel-grey eyes a striking reminder of their shared bloodline. It was a paternity that needed no DNA test to confirm. Adam. His son. Five years old.
