It was late afternoon , John and Alex had their supper early and went to their room. Alex flipped open the laptop and plugged in the headphones. He turned up the volume and tuned into the Walters dining hall camera.
Patrick and Felicia sat at the table in silence.
''What are they waiting for?'', John asked.
''Shhhhhhh, Just watch'',Alex placed a finger on his lips.
It was 7h58pm. Any minute now.
Sierra and Jefferson walked in and took their places at the table.
Patrick motioned for the servant to take the morning paper across to them.
Jefferson took the paper and stared at the front page reading the heading in silence. Sierra leaned in and gasped.
''Read it aloud'', Patrick commanded.
Jeffersons hand shook, the paper fluttering violently.
The shame he felt was unbearable. The fact that his father had seen this despicable picture of his wife with nothing on accept a g-sting and net bra made is insides churn.
Peter walked into the coffee shop outside of work. He stopped to get a coffee before he sat at his table to commence his day. He walked into the busy coffee shop. There were atleast 5 people in front of him. The Daily Coffee shop was one of New Yorks best shops so this coffee was worth the wait.He stood looking at the television which had the news on. From the corner of his eye he glimpsed Annie. His wife ,Annie. He turned immediately, bumping the person in front of him, only to see no one in sight. Apologising to the man in front of him he began to wonder if her was seeing things.''Was it a ghost?'', he shook the idea from his mind as he followed the queue, looking around hopoing to confirm that it was not his imagination.Finally he reached the counter and ordered his double expresso coffee with extra milk. He decided to sit at a table a while and chevk if his imagination would run wild again.Twenty minutes and a coffee later, still nothing. He got u
Martha ran to Peters room. His screams echoed through the house. Martha sat next to him on the bed gently shaking him awake. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he was shaking violently. She looked at him with concern. He opened his eyes slowly looking at Martha holding his shoulders, he shrugged her arms off him. Martha poured him a glass of wather and sat on the chair beside the bed. Taking the water from her , his hands shook as he took a sip, spilling the water on him. He angrily threw the glass at the wall.*Smash*It shattered into millions of tiny peices, spilling through out the room. Martha jumped with fright.'' I will call the doctor!'', Martha said hurrying out the door carefully as to not to cut herself.A servant entered the room quietly and cleaned the glass peices as silently as possible. She dare not agitate her boss. The punishment would be unbearable.Fifteen minutes later, Dr Blake entered the room. He walk
John was annoyed that Sierra was let of the loose so easily. Adrianna and himself were kicked out for a picture that was not even real. The anger was evident, he squashed the paper coffee mug in his hand after drinking its warm contents.Alex looked from across the table as if he knew what he was thinking, he threw a folder onto his desk.''I am not in the mood for work'', John said angrly. His town dark and sinister.''I did not say it was work'', Alex rolled his eyes at his boss.John picked up the envelope and tore open the edging. He emptied the papers onto the desk.Looking at the pictures and information on his desk his eyes shone with an evil intent.'' Do what you need to do!!!'', John said authoritively.Alex pulled out his phone and made a quick call.*Ping* Ping* *Ping*Emails received by all the Walters family.Alex casually walked to his desk and picked up his laptom taking it back to John

He never ever once asked him to sugar coat the truth.''How long do I have?'', Patrick asked glumly.Before DR Sharma could continue Patricks ph
Patrick returned home as if he was coming from the office. He grabbed his suitcase from the car and walked in to an empty house. The maids said Felicia had locked herself in the room all day.Patrick walked to the room and gently knocked. The lock turned and the door opened. He was greeted by a puffy red eyed Felicia. He kissed her on the forehead and took her in his frail embrace. Felicia broke out in hard sobs.Patricks heart hurt just looking at his broken wife. Her once happy spirit was now broken. He held her had and led her to the bed hugging her tightly . He consoled her. She wiped her tears , stood up and went to the bath to freshen up. Patrick called the servant and asked him to call a family meeting, Including John. After all, he was his Grandson -in -law.The servant nodded and left the room. Patrick went down to the dining hall and summoned the servant to serve them supper. It was already afternoon. Although he was not really hungry , he needed
Peter walked out of the house but did not go to the car. He let Martha wait for him while he took a stroll in the garden. The air was scented with roses, a clear breeze ruffled his hair. He sat on the bench trying to clear his thoughts. The garden was beautiful, the moon casting an evening glow on the tulips and orchids.Breathing in the fresh scent of the summer breeze his mind drifted away. He was enjoying the peace and quiet when a shadow loomed over his face. Opening his eyes slowly he saw her. White and pale under the moon glow. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her long blonde hair fluttered in the breeze.Peter felt his heart pounding as she reached out her hand to him not getting any closer.All the colour had drained from his face and his heart thudded in his chest. His mouth went dry and his eyes bulged in their sockets.Looking at her figure in front of him, he felt fear grip his heart. He closed his eyes tightly an
Adrianna opened her eyes slowly. Her head was pounding, she felt weak and sick to her stomach. She lay on a hard single bed. The room was dim,there was a glimpse of light from a tiny window at the far corner of the room. She shivered as the cold crept into her bones. She lifted her hands to wipe her burning eyes but could not. They were tied behind her back and so were her legs, bound together at the ankles. She tried to scream but her throat was too dry, only a hoarse whisper left her lips.She could feel a sway , a gentle rocking motion beneath her body. She lifted herself up and hopped to the window. She could see the night sky. The stars looked beautiful and the moonlight eluminated a small part of the room. she could hear waves, the cal sound of the ocean. Her eyes shot open in shock, She was in the middle of the ocean.Adrianna became frantic, her heart pounding, she let out a hoarse scream. A shrill cry escaped her lips. Jomping up and down she created a thuddin
John looked at his phone. Still no word from Sky. He grew anxious. It has already been 24 hours and still no details regarding her request.Alex looked at him from his desk. He knew his boss was worried. Shy had not been to work for a few days. Before and after kidnapping his wife. There were no interactions on the clone phone and there was no location that could be retrieved for her.Johns heart sunk thiking about what condition his wife must be in. As he woke up and paced the office, Alex updated him on the situation with the Walters family.Patricks results were in and her had only 3 months left to live. At first he thought it was a lie, a gimic but it was proven to be very much true. He felt deeply sorry for the old man and really regretted pulling his grandmother-in-laws history. Although he wanted to seek revenge on those who had wronged them he also need to be compassionate.Would Adrianna love him if he ruined everyone's reputation? even if he did it from
