That hour after midnight, when the Houston Mansion alerted Enrique about Isabella's situation, he called someone on the phone. That time, he didn't just visit his uncle but he also meet someone in a private room in that person's own bar, the Cymbals.

When that someone saw his caller ID, he thought twice of swiping the green icon. After a couple of rings, he finally decided to answer.

"What on earth brought you to call me, Manager Houston?" he asked with wry smile.

He was in his private room in Cymbals. He locked himself inside contemplating on his relationship with Madeline and his feelings with Samantha. He could hear the loud music and the scream of the bar hoppers on the first floor but he was too lazy to check on them.

"My sister ran away from Ireland and she might be here in the US!" Enrique answered.

Albert chuckled.

"So, what if she ran away? I don't care about your sister!"

"You don't understand what I mean, Michaels! You maybe don't care a

    "Sir, we have a problem. Fe just called!""What about it? Is it about the company?""No, sir. It's about the twins. Isabella Houston has run away from their home in Ireland!""I have nothing to do with them anymore, Sebastian!""But sir, she's in our place!"Christopher who was reading a book in his imperial room in Millennium Suite in London lifted his head on him and stared deeply at his anxious eyes. He gracefully stood up and walked towards the built-in bookshelf and placed the book properly on its original place."Fate is really playing fire on us, Sebastian!" he uttered as he turned around and tapped the shoulder of his bodyguard who was trembling in fear."Sir, if Isabella is missing, then my daughter is in danger. I can't afford to lose her!" Sebastian replied as he followed Christopher's steps with his worried gaze."Since that incident happened 14 years ago, we have saved and protected one of the Houston's heir. I can't let that happ

    ..(warning: gruesome incident)"Why are you doing this?" he asked with his eyes wide open still in doubt if he heard Benjamin wrong."Obey us first, Michaels if you want us to spare your heir's life!" Lance uttered instead.Christopher's shoulders fell. His eyes showed defeat. His son's life was in danger. He didn't want to stain his hands with blood from the innocent four year old's life but he had no choice."What about my wife?" he then remembered.Hopefully, they didn't include her in this deadly bait. She was already suffering from her illness that consumed her life few years later."Don't worry, we know her life is already in thin line. She's in your bed, sleeping quietly!" Benjamin replied with a smirk.Even that they knew he thought. These people whom he never thought would become his enemies for a lifetime, indeed prepared everything. The illness of Christopher's first wife was unknown to everyone especially in the world of com

    When Lance received a message and video from Sebastian, they released Christopher and ordered the man in Albert's room to leave.But before he left Lance's mansion, he asked Benjamin first."The twins will be the heir someday since their eldest is already worthless. Why not kill both of them? D*mn, where's the thrill in it if I am going to end Jackson's happiness and elegant life in a jiffy. Take it slowly. One kid at a time!" Benjamin uttered in a sadistic tone.His voice became lunatic. He was staring at the video that Sebastian sent. He didn't even think that the one who was just killed in cold blood was his four year old niece."Got that, Michaels? Now leave and seal your lips if you don't want to come back here for another meal!" Lance even spoke out.Christopher violently got up, fierce look covered his eyes. Enraged by what had just happened, he swiped the food served on the table."You two are soulless! Time will come, you will sow what you reap

    "How does Enrique know we're here?" she even had the nerve to ask the going to explode man beside her."Why not ask him later?" Albert angrily asked back."Does that mean, you two are in good terms now? That's great!" Samantha exclaimed in excitement."No, of course not! Never!" Albert replied as he left her and went to the pantry.Samantha just followed him with her baffled looks. But also shrugged off when she thought his reactions were just normal. She even thought, he was jealous!When suddenly, a loud knock on the door almost made her jump to her feet. If that was Enrique, then why was he sound upset? She immediately went towards the door and opened it.And she was right!A dark as the darkness outside face greeted her reluctant smile."Enrique, what brought you here?" Samantha anxiously asked."Brought you dinner. I know you didn't have dinner yet!" Enrique raised the food from a big styrofoam box."Please, come in. How do you

    "I had a wonderful dinner, thank you. That chinese dish tastes good!" Samantha smiled at Enrique when they're finished eating and they're already in the basement."I'm glad you like it. If you have time, I will invite you for dinner!" Enrique also replied while fixing the neckline of her one piece casual dress.Albert was already in his car waiting for her. His glare was on the two while holding the steering wheel. He'd been watching them talking for ten minutes and it was really making him upset. Out of annoyance, he pushed the beep button to draw their attention.The two glanced at his direction and saw Samantha bowed and waved at Enrique while going to his car. She even looked over her shoulder and smiled back. She was about to open the backseat when Albert's deep voice rang on her ears."Take the passenger seat. I'm not your driver!""Ah! Okay!" Samantha simply replied."Snobbish prince!" she snorted in whisper while opening the passenger seat.

    That night, Samantha was having a peaceful sleep while she hugged her pillow tight. But, in his case, he was staring at the ceiling still pondering on what could have happened if that annoying rain and wave didn't come to their way.He glanced at his phone on the side table. It was ten in the evening. Was she asleep he asked himself. But she slept the whole day today he also snapped back. His hand was itching to call her. He was about to reach his phone when his mind screamed 'NO! Let her rest, id*ot!'"Hrrrr!" out of annoyance, he kicked his duvet till half of it fell on the floor.He got up and strode out of his room. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took a bottle of mineral water and gulped half of it. He was about to go back upstairs when he heard heavy steps at the dining room. He turned around and took a peek at the slightly open door.He smiled when he saw Samantha going to the kitchen. When he swung the door open, Samantha almost jumped to

She thought of Samantha right away. They're the same she uttered inwardly. Just that Isabella acted really elegantly while Samantha was a bit careless."Make sure to separate your laundry first. There are some clothes that aren't machine wash. Let me see!" Fe scanned her dirty clothes while Isabella was getting redder and redder especially when she held her innerwear."Ahm, Aunt Fe.

    In a high-end restaurant in the heart of the city, two beautiful single moms were going to talk to clear a slate. They were both calm, grace, and dignified."You will always be my sister-in-law no matter what!" Liz sincerely told Samantha while the latter still felt embarrassed that she was one of those narrow-minded people who believed something was going on between them with her ex-husband."I'm sorry. I don't know what to say!" all she could say was this.But her actions spoke a lot of meaningful words she couldn't express in sentences."It's all right. It happens to people. And we are not exempted!" Liz just shook her head as she gave Samantha a genuine smile.Samantha left a light chuckle with her phrase and just like her, she also shook her head."Yeah! We are not exempted!" she repeated."So, when will you two get back together? Tristan is at his age to have a sibling. He's already almost ten!" she channeled their talks to another topic when they were done clearing things out."

    "Albert is in Ireland now? Is that true?" Candice who had overseas photoshoots for months was surprised when Grace told her about what happened three months ago.She who never liked to watch nor read the news was really ignorant when it came to those current events but when it was all about fashion, she was number one!"Yes, Miss Candice. The hospital here transferred him to Houston Medical Hospital two weeks ago!" Grace sternly uttered."But why? The hospitals here are also good!" Candice still insisted on digging for more information about him."It was Dr. Houston's command!" Grace still casually replied though deep inside she would like to yell at her saying 'Stop wasting my time! Just fly to Ireland if you want!'"Okay, thanks for the info. Bye!" Candice told her in haste before she strode towards the lift.Inside the lift, she called her manager right away."Get me a ticket going to Ireland tonight.

Laila would like to turn around and run away for a while but her flat shoes were nailed to the floor."Laila, right?" one of the doctors asked as he sauntered toward her.She just gawked at him. She couldn't believe she had just eaten her tongue. She flickered her eyes and tried to speak, but she staggered in her voice."Yes, dictor...I mean doc...tor...!" she shut her eyes for a moment while shaking her head. Then she composed herself and spoke again."Yes, Doctor Arnolds!" Laila finally uttered...without looking at him. Her eyes glanced around instead."Beautiful name...Like the owner!"

    Earlier...When Albert saw the group of policemen about one kilometer away waiting for them, he did his best to draw Madeline's attention to something else while removing the cloth that was wrapped around his wrists."Why are you doing all of these? What happened to you?""What happened to me? It was you who made me this way. If you didn't cancel our wedding before, we're supposed to be husband and wife now, and maybe, we're supposed to have children now!" she yelled as her glare was burning his eyes."But you feel disgusted by me. Since that monster kidnapped me, you never talked to me again. You avoided me like I was a plague!" she kept on releasing everything that's been keeping her bottled up for too long."Then you suddenly fell in love with a servant? How dare you, Albert?" her fantasy was making her blind but Albert never really listened to her prattles."What's your plan on me now?" he asked as he sneered.Finally, he loosed the cloth. He sideglanced at Rona whose eyes were shu

    "Grace, could you get me the reviewed documents from Houston Group? The one I approved yesterday!" Albert called Grace on his intercom but to his surprise, she didn't answer."Grace, the contract from Houston!" he repeated but still it was dead air."Maybe she went to the restroom!" he whispered as he walked out of his office to get the documents himself.But to his shock, he saw Grace lying unconsciously on the cold marbled floor. He was about to call 911 when somebody just hit him on his head. He irked in pain but he didn't lose his consciousness. As he turned around while holding his head that was hit, he squinted his eyes when he saw a sneering Katie appearance but he knew that was Madeline."You?" he exclaimed but even before he could push the alarm button, he received another hit that was stronger than the first. This time, he had lost his consciousness.Simon carried him back inside his office while Madeline followed. However, an employee who happened to pass by saw a glimpse of

    She released an evil laugh while staring at the headline that bannered their glorious names:'Madeline Swan, Wanted! Lance Swan Captures!'She laughed at the authorities who always failed to arrest her.She laughed at Houston's men who were waiting for her arrival.Above all, she laughed at Albert and the Michaels for not sensing her closeness in their visibility."St*pid powerful people!" she aggravatingly snorted.She was holding a red wine while sitting on their usual white Italian leather couch.Where?In an originally breathtaking place that became a haunted house.Indeed, Lance helped her escape and fooled the authorities that she was going to Ireland. Her father prepared her hideout once again. But this time, no one would even think she went back to the city of opportunities, to that penthouse where two wanted criminals were killed more than two years ago. The one was killed by her."Miss Swan, they all thought you're in Ireland now!" Simon grinned.He was pouring Madeline a gla

    "Even if you will kill me, I would never tell you where my daughter is. She deserves to do those things after everything that happened to her!" Lance Swan shouted at length in a wild, impassioned way."Congratulations, President Lance! You've just admitted you know where your daughter is!" Jake spoke in a contemptuous manner rather.The police station where Vanessa and Jake were assigned immediately arrested Lance Swan when Vanessa called that day.When the doctor in Maui nodded that it was Lance who ordered them to make Cheska's condition worst, she instructed her team to arrest him right away."I'm gonna be behind bars anyway. But I'm not going to tell you where my daughter is!" Lance firmly told him.Jake slowly leaned on the chair glaring at him while his fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. Just one more he thought. He might give this middle-aged man a knuckle sandwich.They were both startled when Vanessa opened the door and announced."Good news! The eel is in Ireland!"

    At dinner, Albert brought Candice to a western diner. Her favorite. When the waiter arrived, he ordered almost all of her favorite food such as beefy casserole, cheesy turkey broccoli pasta, and biscuit topped chicken pot pie. He also ordered some dessert and a glass of red wine."Thanks for accepting my invitation, Albert. Even if our relationship is just a sham, at least you're still gentleman enough not to decline!" Candice shyly told him while she tucked some strands of her hair behind her earlobe.But Albert was way too busy glancing around while his hands were clasped on the table. As much as possible he didn't want to see Candice anymore since the latter started showing some interest in him."Ahm! I always love beefy casserole. Here, try some!"She stuffed a cube of meat in his mouth and because it was sudden he wasn't able to shun it. He reluctantly chewed the food while frowning at her."It's delicious, right? Oh, there's a sauce left at the corner of your lips!" She even took

She was still unconscious but the doctor said, her condition was getting better.He gritted his teeth everytime he remembered what the doctor told them. He had been violated not just once. Based from the findings of a single pubic hair they saw on her thigh when the swat team saw her in the big empty house, the owner was Simon Flord."I'm gonna kill you, bastard!" he muttered while staring at her.He had been looking for Cheska since she suddenly left more than two years ago. He tried to call her but her phone was disconnected. He thought she intentionally cut ties with him so after months of trying, he finally gave up.When he heard a soft moan, he sat straight as he moved closer."Cheska!" he gently called her name.His blurry eyes were glued on her pallid face.
