Michael stared at Sharon in confusion, “I don’t understand, you have to explain better.”Sharon sighed, “Michael, you bought Craig’s company shares, was he aware of it? Was it an agreement between the both of you?”“No, I did it on my own. The thing is, it was the day that Sasha and I went for a stroll, he walked out of the coffee shop and after sharing pleasantries with her, he ignored me and went ahead telling her how sorry he was that he doesn’t have her time anymore and then asked her if she isn’t busy they can have lunch sometime. That was a blow to my ego having another man asks my wife out right in front of me. Anger boiled in me and I wanted to teach him a lesson not to mess with married women so I ordered Gary to buy his company shares.”Sharon nodded, “that is very understandable and if you ask me, I think that Craig just wanted to spite you and you fell into it.”“What would you have me do? It was a big blow to me and I couldn’t take it lying down.”“So how did you acquire
Gary nodded, “but are you sure the person that deleted the messages would be in her company?”Michael bit his lips, “they have to be because every time she returns, she comes from the office. Just get me the CCTV footage of her company in this day, her office precisely. Sasha is not the type to leave her phone lying around and even if she does, it would have to be in her office. I have the feeling that whoever it was that deleted the message is the one telling Craig where she would be at the moment.”“Okay then,” Gary nodded, “I will get on with it immediately.” He turned and left the office.Michael heaved a deep sigh when he was alone and wiped his palms on his face. Minutes passed and then he picked his phone, he stared at a particular number and after some seconds, he dialed it but just like the last times he had gotten the courage to dial it, it didn’t connect. He kneaded his temple and searched for another number and dialed it. When it connected, he asked, “Have you found her?”
Four days passed and Sasha was still nowhere to be found, Michael was going berserk, he had ordered his men to find her, all of them, but there was no sign of her, no lead or whatsoever to tell him where she could be. They have not been able to find who picked her up that night and her number has not been connecting as well. Everyone says that she had gotten good in hiding and cleaned up well after her so that he wouldn’t find her. But he knows better, Sasha would never go through so much trouble just to stay hidden from him and that only give needs to his rising fear, Sasha was not safe and every time he thought about that, he just wish he could tear the world apart to find her and save her from wherever she was.When Gary gave him Sebastian’s file, there was nothing wrong with the guy, like every other person, he was the breadwinner of his family and works himself tirelessly to provide for them. He looks clean but Michael can’t explain why he doesn’t like the guy. Immediately Gary s
The door opened and Michael stared at the man that entered, he has not visited Sasha’s company in a long time and after Sharon’s call last night, he couldn’t stop himself from going and stepping into her office, even though it’s has been days since she was there last, her scent was still lingering around. He had occupied her chair, fighting with himself not to get all emotional as he summoned for Sebastian.“Good morning Mr. Brown,” Sebastian greeted with a small smile, staring at the man that was sitting behind the mahogany desk like the king himself, “you sent for me.”Staring at him, Michael still couldn’t tell why he dislikes him even though he has that innocent look and vibe around him, but he just doesn’t like the guy. Sasha has had a lot male secretaries but he never felt anything about them but this one, he just doesn’t know but there was something off about him. “Which flight did you book for my wife?” he went straight to the point.“Sir?”“Did I have water in my mouth?” Mich
Gary stopped the car in front of an abandoned warehouse. He stared at it and glanced back at the man sitting in the backseat that has been staring at his phone since he got into the car. “Are you really sure we shouldn’t have come with the police.”Michael heaved a sigh, his gaze not leaving the family photo that was his home wallpaper. It was taken in the zoo, the first time he was able to join them. Sapphire was holding a really big cotton candy and grinning. Christopher as always preferred not to take anything and just stood beside his mother with a soft smile. Sasha was grinning like Sapphire, she too was holding a cotton candy, while he, he just had his arm around her shoulder and his other hand placed on Sapphire’s shoulder to keep her from running away and his eyes were on Sasha as he was wearing a soft smile like his son.This was his home, a home he had always dreamed of but never actually thought he could get it but then just like a Christmas miracle, everything fell into pl
The door creaked open and a man entered, he stared at the thin figure of a woman on the floor and sighed. Pulling the chair in the room, he placed it in front of her and sat down, crossing his leg on the other. “How are you, Sasha?”The woman raised up her head, her platinum blonde hair was covering half of her face, her honey brown eyes stared at the man hollowly, she smiled, a very sad but sinister smile, “how do you think I am?” her voice was hoarse and the man had to strain his ear to hear her.“Once again I apologize for what you have become, you were more vibrant when you were newly brought here, I apologize for turning you into that.”“When are you letting me out of here? When are you giving me back my freedom? From my understanding of your discussion two days ago, Michael didn’t fall for your plans, turns out my presence is not enough to make him go crazy when his business is concerned, so can you let me go now? My children needs me.”“You talk like you don’t have fate in him?
Michael led Sasha to the car why the cops rounded up the men. Gary was so happy to see her and he didn’t hesitate to show it. He flashed a big smile to her, “I’m so happy to see you again. Everyone has been really worried.”Sasha returned the smile, “thank you.”He opened the car door for her and she entered, Michael followed her while Gary got in the driver’s seat and started the car, he glanced at Michael through the review mirror, “where to boss?”“Hospital,” Michael replied.Sasha glanced at him then, “Why are we going to the hospital?”“Sasha you were kidnapped, naturally we should go to the hospital and check up on you. You look so thin,” there was anger and sadness in his voice, “the cops will also come to see you, I want to know if you are up for it before letting you go through so much stress.”Sasha nodded and glanced at the window as Gary drove out of the property. Gary continuously glanced at the rearview mirror at the quiet couple and he felt heaviness in his heart, he ha
By evening, everyone filled the hospital ward again. Sasha was so delighted to see her kids again, while Sapphire had run to her on seeing her, Chris had just stood by the corner and watched them. She had reached out for him and he had went to her, but he wasn’t as enthusiastic as Sapphire. The family stayed and laughed and later in the night, everyone started leaving. Angelica and Nicholas took the children and they said goodnight while the rest all promised to come back in the morning.Michael sat beside her like he had been doing the whole day and held her hand again, since there were just both of them; Sasha turned her face from him once more. Seconds ticked by and he finally said, “you are angry with me aren’t you?”She said nothing.“I can understand,” he sighed and licked his lips, “I don’t know where to begin but I know one thing, I wronged you. I wronged you badly and I know simply asking for forgiveness isn’t going to make you forget the pain and hurt it brought you but I’m
