He felt happy with the progress he had made thus far and, for the first time in days, held a sense of hope within himself. Anxiously, he was waiting for Louis's update because he knew his friend's uncle held the key to Sera's life.Louis pulled into his uncle's driveway to his beautiful mansion nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The greenery and serenity outside seemed to calm Louis's nerves as he got out of the car.He saw his uncle sitting outside, reading a magazine. The sun was bright but cold, and its rays outlined Uncle Tony's face with an aura of wisdom, comfort, and security. The smell of my uncle's cologne smells so familiar; it brought me back to memories so dear."What's the problem? You sounded urgent," Uncle Tony asked, furrowing his brow. He spoke with a deep empathy that reassured Louis.Louis took a deep breath; he was ready to tell his concerns to his uncle. He knew his uncle would listen properly and give useful advice.Uncle Tony pointed at the chair next to him. "You

"What is it, Uncle?" Louis inquired with despair and hope in his tone.Mr. Tony leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with a solution. "I can give a loan to Enzo instead of an investment, and in that way, Sera's medical bills are covered, and his company will still get the financial benefit it needs.""Uncle, Enzo won't accept," Louis replied at his wit's end. He heaved a sigh, looked down, and his shoulders slumped in defeat.Then he resumed, lying on the floor, with tears in his eyes, threatening to burst as if water had erupted from a dam. "Please, Uncle," he begged, his voice cracked.Instant pools of compassion clouded Mr. Tony 's eyes as his face relaxed. He got up and walked over to Louis, picking him off the floor with warm, reassuring hands."Alright, alright, Louis. I've heard you. I shall sign with them," Mr. Tony told him with a note of resignation clinging to his voice. His face was a mask of knowing what he was getting himself into.Louis's face shone with the sense of

Enzo began to pace around the room as his mind was filled with thoughts. "Mr. Tony wants to hear Sera's voice first before signing the contract? Any???! he said, grumbling to himself with a frustrated tone depicted on his face.Who could have given him such an idea? Or does he know Sera's not fine? Enzo's eyes narrowed. "I think Marco is behind this, " he said, with suspicion in his voice.He wasted little time dismissing that thought. "Is Marco behind this? I don't know. With whom does he associate? People just like him-low-life scum?" Enzo laughed mockingly. "Ha., yeah, right."His face turned to ice, cold and calculating. "I don't want to spend money on Sera. After all, she's worthless." His voice was full of contempt. "And at the same time, I need this contract to elevate my company."Self-interest was dancing in Enzo's eyes as he shrugged indifferently, "Why invest in Sera's health if she is no longer useful to me?"But Mr. Tony 's condition had come to throw a wrench

"Take me to the doctor's office," Enzo said to Williams, his voice firm and resolved. Marco nodded and led Enzo to the doctor's office-the tension between them was great. They knocked on the door, and a soft voice invited them in. "Good morning," Enzo greeted Mr. Fredrick, the doctor."Good morning, Mr. Robert," the doctor replied, getting up to shake Enzo's hand. His smile was professional and affable."You can have a seat," said the doctor and pointed to the comfy chairs facing his desk. Enzo and Marco sat down."I'm here to pay Sera's bills," Enzo announced with no trace of emotion in his voice. "She can undergo the surgery."Dr. Fredrick's eyes slightly went wide, showing surprise on his face. "That's wonderful news, Mr. Enzo. Sera's condition is critical, and timely surgery is her best chance.""Given the circumstances, getting her bills paid is the way to go," added Williams, his steely eyes fixed on Robert.Enzo nodded, unreadable from his expression. "Yes, th

"What do you mean by that, doctor?" Enzo pressed, urgent in his tone. He couldn't afford to lose the contract, not now."Calm down, Mr. Enzo," insisted the doctor. "I'm afraid she isn't responding.""What do you mean, doctor?" Enzo asked, his voice escalating."It means she's dead," Doctor Frederick said bluntly."Dead.?" Enzo repeated, in a heap of shock. "Did you say Sera is dead?"It was as if a ton of bricks fell on him as the impact of the news really hit Robert. His business, his contract-all depended on Sera's recovery.It was as if a tornado had swept through Enzo's mind; he mechanically reached for his phone. "I have to call her friend Sharon," he muttered.He dialed Sharon's number, his hands shaking slightly. After a couple of tries, Sharon finally picked up."Hello, Sharon," Enzo said with a tone of solemnity."Hey, Enzo! What's up?" Sharon responded, fully unaware of the disastrous news."I'm so sorry, Sharon, but your friend Sera just. kicked the bucket," he sai

After a few hours, Dr. Fredrick came out of the operating theater, a warm smile on his face."What is it, doctor?" Marco uttered in anticipation as he jostled his way to the doctor's side."She made it," Dr. Fredrick said, triumphing in his eyes.Williams' face brightened up with his joy: "Thank God!" he exclaimed, trembling his voice."You can now go and see her," Dr. Fredrick told him, nodding.Marco didn't waste a second. He burst into the recovery room, his heart racing at a very high speed.As he went in, he found Seralying on the bed, her eyes open, with a trace of a smile on her lips.Marco couldn't control his emotions. He hugged Seratightly, with tears running down his face."I'm so glad you're okay," he said, almost inaudibly, in a choked voice.At this moment, Sharon also burst into the room, wet with Joy. "Sera!" she exclaimed.She then ran to the bed, hugging Seraand Marco at once.The three friends held one another, basking in the warmth of Sera's recovery.Outside, the

The message was from Mr. Tony, and Enzo's heart jumped with joy. He sprang into immediate action to ensure everything was set for the meeting."Mr. Tony immediately went inside, instructing his workers to ensure that the conference room was spotless," Enzo thought as he dialed his cleaners number."Theophilus, the conference room must be clean. Today, Mr. Tony is coming to sign the contract."Theophilus nodded and immediately got down to work.Enzoretired to his office, where he drafted the documents he needed for signing. He collected the papers and went to the printer to photocopy each document.While the printer did its work, his mind drifted away, getting the contract to what it would entail: his business scaling to greater heights.After collecting all the documents, he was told that Mr. Tony had arrived and was in the conference room.He took a deep breath and composed himself before walking into the conference room with confidence."Afternoon, investors," Enzo said to the peop

"and Mr. Stanley was so palpable it seemed to shrink the hospital corridor.Sera didn't blink once from Mr. Stanley's face as her eyes clouded with gratitude and determination.Behind, Marco couldn't hold from twisting a smile. "Serves you right," he muttered to himself, wagging his head.Mr. Tony now turned to Sera with a reassuring and soft look."Sera, my dear, I am not judging you," he said, "since everybody has somewhat of an ugly past. Never feel low about that.”Mr. Enzo's voice sent tears welling up in Sera's eyes as he continued."Your presentation was good, and I want you to keep it up, okay?"Teary-eyed, Seranodded. "Okay, sir," she whispered.Sera became overcome with emotion and latched onto Mr. Tony, hugging him tightly.Enzo's face turned dark as his plans unraveled before his eyes."Can I offer you employment in my company?" Mr. Tony asked with the most genuine of tones.What he meant was, "You can be my personal assistant."Sera's eyes widened in surprise as she st

"Sera …." Marco shouted, his voice sprawling in that desolate space, but before it would spread further, Mr Tony sprang into action, covering Williams' mouth with his hand, right in the fraction of a second, as if expecting this danger that might be hiding behind every shadow."Do you know her?" Jessica asked in a weak voice with a very minute pitch, as if her experiences had drained her of all energies.Enzo's eyes softened, his lips curling into a soft smile, the seams of his features glowing bright with expression, as in low and measured tones, he replied, "Yes, I do know her; she is my girlfriend," the words tumbling into view amidst a mixture of affection and longing.His words were colored with pride and underlined just how deep the feeling was, but immediately was Mr Tony's rejoinder, his tone laced with skepticism: "I have never heard Sera say you guys are in a relationship," he said, his words hanging in the air, a challenge.Enzo's smile flickered for a moment; the defens

"I just heard the cry of someone," Jude whispered in a low, urgent voice to Enzo and Williams; wide-eyed and full of concern, as the faint sound seemed to reverberate deep within his chest."Let's trace the cry," Marco suggested, his voice barely above a whisper. His words hung in the air like a fragile thread as the trio nodded as one, their hearts pounding in anticipation.They moved with sluggish deliberateness, their tracing of the faint sound through the deserted warehouse; their footsteps echoed off the walls-the only sound that broke the oppressive silence.The cry grew louder, more desperate, leading them upstairs to the uncompleted second story-a labyrinth of exposed beams and dusty concrete that seemed to stretch on forever.They ascended to the top, just about bouncily, soft-hopping to avoid making much noise, their senses at height when they reached the top, where the outline of something shrouded in a black cloth met their gaze."What's this?" asked Tony, his finger point

He immediately sent one of his men, Timothy, to get the GPS from the office. His tone was high and commanding, showing how critical the situation was and how little time they had to act."Timothy, hurry up," said Marshall, looking right into his eyes to drive the point home of how serious the matter before them was and how little time there was to act."A'right, sir," Timothy said, firm and sure, without a quiver, as he immediately snatched up his keys and raced out the door to accomplish what he had to do in the most timely manner possible.Williams, Enzo, Tony, and Marshall were then left sitting anxiously waiting for the return of Timothy while consumed by thoughts of Sera and the search-each person lost in his own thoughts and fears about the outcome of such.Every passing minute felt like an eternity, each being taken further into a different endless void of uncertainty, unanswered questions, and anxiety that deepened the cut.The strong silence was filled with anticipation and

"Good morning," said Marshall and the rest, all smiles, their faces beaming with optimism and reassurance-a look that was quite soothing to Enzo's frayed nerves."Good morning," returned Enzowith appreciation in his tone as he welcomed the team into the house, hoping their skills finally gave him the answers he had so longed for over the disappearance of Sera ."It appears you have just woken up," interpreted Williams, brow furrowed with concern, eyes doing a scrutiny of Enzo's worn countenance."Yeah, your call woke me up," Enzo said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, still trying to shake off the remnants of a restless night."Ah, so sorry, sir," Marco apologized, looking contrite, his voice full of empathy.Enzo waved his hand in a dismissive manner, a gesture indicating appreciation for Williams' concern."No need to apologize, Marco," Enzosaid."We need to get started, and I'm glad you're here to help us find Sera ."Enzo's eyes did a sweep of the room, locking eyes with Marsha

Marshall's response was immediate."What's going on?" Marshall asked.Enzopaused, collecting his thoughts."Sera 's missing," Enzosaid.His voice was low."We can't find her anywhere."Marshall's tone turned alert."Tell me more," Marshall said.Enzobriefed Marshall on the situation.The Zoom meeting.Sera 's disappearance.The failed attempts to contact her.Marshall listened intently.His silence was reassuring.Enzoknew Marshall was already working on a plan.To find Sera .To bring her home safely.The wait began.For Marshall's next move.For news of Sera 's whereabouts."Marshall, please, it is so urgent," he told him, his voice thin and laced with the worry of desperation at the thought of Sera 's disappearance for a whole week weighing upon his mind."Marshall, we desperately need your expertise in tracking her down," Enzo added, his eyes begging for reassurance.Confidence and professionalism oozed from every pore as Marshall's expression became reassuring."Enzo, don't you b

Mr Tony checked his wristwatch for what must have been the hundredth time.Twenty minutes.He had been waiting for Enzo for for twenty very long minutes.The atmosphere in the coffee shop was starting to suffocate him.The freshly brewed aroma of coffee wafting out of the shop was now too much.Tony's gaze swept the car park. Finally, a ray of hope.Enzo's car came into view; Jude's tensed muscles relaxed a little."Ah, right on schedule," Tony said to himself.Marco, walking beside Enzo , was pointing."That's Mr Tony over there," Marco said, his hand jerking in Tony's direction.Enzo nodded, a serious look crossing his face.They got out of the car, their long shadows stretching out as they stepped out into the sun.They walked, the echo of their footsteps bouncing off the empty parking lot.Jude rose to greet them, a mask of concern etched into his face."Good day, Mr. Enzo," Tony greeted, extending a firm hand and giving a warm but strained smile.He turned to address Marco, cr

His voice came urgent as Tony said, "I'm saying Sera 's missing, Enzo. I've tried reaching out to her friends, but no one's seen or heard from her."Enzo's face turned grim.Missing?That word reverberated in his head.Where was Sera ?And why hadn't she called him?Enzo felt his anxiety shoot up. Was Sera in danger?"Do you know where she is, Enzo?" Mr Tony asked."I should be asking you where Sera is," said Robert, his voice accusing, his eyes raging with anger and concern."I mean, you guys were always going to restaurants together," Enzo said, his tone full of suspicion.Tony's face remained impassive, but his voice came forth resolute."Enzo, it is not the time to point accusatory fingers at anybody," Tony told him, his words slow and intentional."I'm not lying accusations on you for the fun of it," Enzo said, snapping, his frustration boiling over. "I just ask where Sera is because you were always taking pictures together." Tony looked very somber, with his eyes full of

There was complete silence at the other end, as if it stretched into infinity. Sera was clearly hesitant, and for a while, Enzofeared he'd lost her.But then, she spoke, her voice tentative. "Ok, Robert, if I'm lucky, I'll come."Enzo's face lit up with a bright, radiant smile, like the luckiest man in the world."Thank you, Sera !" Enzo exclaimed, overflowing with excitement.He dropped the call and found his mind racing with possibilities.He did not waste a single moment and rushed into the kitchen, his heart singing.He prepared croissants, ham, burgers, and steak to make the perfect dinner.Enzo was going through the recipe and doing each dish just right.Joy oozed out of every pore as he cooked.Sweat droplets dripped down his forehead, for the heat in the kitchen was getting hotter by his excitement.The hours have passed, and the smell of sizzling steak and freshly baked croissants filled in.Enzo's kitchen now turned into a haven.At last, dinner was ready.Enzo stepped ba

Every question and anxiety that was running in Enzo's mind seemed to be telling him that he couldn't believe this was not his life falling to pieces.Theophilus, realizing that Enzo was taken aback by what had happened, did not waste time and after a brief pause replied, "Sir, maybe you should take a break? You don't seem yourself."Enzo's gaze drifted towards the window, his eyes gazing out into the distance. "I'll be fine," he muttered, his voice barely audible.But Theophilus knew better. She had seen Enzo's downward spiral, and it worried her.The voice of Theophilus tore Enzo from his thoughts. "Excuse me, sir," she said as he was going, concern could be seen on her face.Enzo blinked back into life, attempting to shake off the fogginess that seemed to envelop him. "Yes, Theophilus?""Is anything wrong, sir? You seem preoccupied," Theophilus asked.Enzo forced a smile onto his face. "I'm alright, just a bit preoccupied."He looked down at his phone, willing Sera to respond
