Adam's POV

He looked at his wife with tears in his eyes as he continued to lament.

“I said I never wanted to see him again, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault Adam, I'm so sorry.” He kept lamenting.

I understood why everyone was blaming themselves and it made it more painful that we all had our different regrets about not being there for Joan.

“Same thing happened five years ago, I wished that building would burn to the ground and it did, now this again.” He kept spilling nonsense from his mouth and I could only laugh at how much he loved Joan, it was hilarious to see but sweet at the same time, we needed to be there for each other right now.

“Baby please stop, don’t say something like that please. Now is really not the time for self blame. Your brother is suffering, you should go to him and console him instead please.” Belle said, acting more matured at that moment and I could see why Andre loved her so much.

“Please can you show me where Katherine is, I’ll go stay with her till s

    Adam's POV“He’s in surgery now so we have to wait” Andre replied, seeming confused as to who she was.“What happened, how did he end up here?” She asked again still crying“Excuse me young lady please come this way” Kathrine instantly said, not sounding rude in any way.She moved closer to us as Kathrine had asked her to until she was standing in front of us “Who are you and how do you know my son?” She asked again with a more concerned tone.“My name is Tina, and I’m his girlfriend. We were supposed to go for dinner this evening but he left for a meeting at his parents house. The meeting had ended according to him and he was already on his way home but then he did not come and I tried to call him but his number was not going through, it kept ringing but he was not picking so I got scared.” She said, hardly bringing out the words, but we could still understand her.“I waited for about two hours hoping that he had been in another meeting or something came up and even went ahead to fi

    Christabel's POV“Yes she does look young, but also very sad if you ask me, I can see from her face that her life is pretty much boring aside from work,” Jimmy said, turning to look at her, before turning back to us.“How can you tell all these things by just looking at Jimmy, it’s wonderful.” Katherine said, looking at Jimmy. He really knew how to say things in the most perfect way and it did seem as though he was right about everything he said most of the time.“Well I’ve been through quite a lot myself ma’am so I know a fake smile when I see one.” He replied smiling at us“Well who wouldn’t fake smiles at a place like this? I mean it’s night, and she’s supposed to be at home sleeping or studying but she has to work.” Katherine spat like she was pissedIt’s understandable that Melody had to live this kind of life just because she was the one fending for herself. She wouldn’t have to be in such a nasty and sad situation if Bobby hadn’t taken her family away from her.Thinking about

    Christabel's POV“Or what, he would post a recording of Andre sending him off to kill people?” She asked, sounding very rude and despite the fact that I could understand her anger and need to be aggressive, I was losing my temper.“Your husband sent someone to kill people and now he is trying to detach himself to put the blame solely on this guy?” She continued, letting out a loud, mocking scoff that only served to piss me off further. “Look I don’t care what you believe but my husband is not a killer, you hear me?” I backed her, feeling very offended because I knew the truth and she didn’t.“He sent people after my son today, his name is Joan and he is still in surgery.” Katherine said, with tears foaming in her eyes. She held my hands to calm me down but I also think it was her way of controlling herself too.“He knows we are not going to give him what he wants, instead we are trying to get justice for your father and others that he killed so he is raving mad right now.

    Christabel's POV“Wow, you know when something becomes bad?” Melody asked, removing her hands slowly from Kathrine’s grip and backing away from us. “When it’s too good to be true, that's exactly when it's fake. So let me get this straight, you just come from nowhere and tell me to go with you, leaving my school and life behind? How easy does that look or sound to you” she asked. This time she made the same movement as she looked into each of our eyes. “We know that you are suffering Melody, you look really sad. Let us help you” I heard Jimmy's voice from behind me. “Wow” Melody scoffed, she was angry and her facial expressions did nothing to hide it. “I’m sorry but Melody, this is the best chance you have to bring justice to your family and regain your normal life. The one which you lost.” Jimmy said, taking a hold of her shoulders this time. “Nothing! Nothing can bring back my normal life you see, except you bring back my parents and siblings” She yelled, her voice cracking as t

    Christabel's POV.We were done eating at the restaurant by about three in the morning and we all drove back to the hospital. Joan was still in surgery and we were told by one of the nurses that the surgery was going to take a few more hours.We were tired and exhausted and Andre still had Bobby’s call to deal with. It was already D day whether we liked it or not.Adam decided to go back home and finish working while Katherine stayed with Joan, as Bobby would not care whether a family emergency came up or not.“I’m coming with you” Andre said, as he stood up the same time Adam did. He was done sitting in the corner and waiting for others to help him out. He had not been himself lately, having to stay at home and wait, while others did the work.“Alright, that would be good because Bobby may call you anytime and we would need to track his phone. Jimmy you stay here with Katherine and Belle, while John and Melody come with us” Adam replied, pointing to Jimmy.He knew already that I would

    Christabel's POV“I can understand that, bullies can make you do stupid ass shit you know, I almost broke a bully’s nose for tearing my uniform. Something my Mum worked so hard to get for me.” John chuckled lightly. He was trying to converse with her, a mechanism to make her feel more at ease, he was really smart.“Yeah, I got pissed at her for taking my phone from my hand and I just snapped. Hit her in the face with my textbook and caused her to bleed. I was given my first ever detention that day and was asked to call my parents to school the next Monday because it was already the weekend.” She continued “and that fire happened on a Friday, oh God!” I exclaimed “Yeah it did, I remember so well you see, I could never ever forget.” She replied, looking at me before continuing. “So I left school later than usual because of detention and I just decided to trek home instead of waiting for the next bus. As I was walking, I switched my phone back on as it had been turned off and seized

    Andre's POVI think we all knew this and the issue became even a little more personal for all of us.“We would make sure to get Bobby in one way or the other and also keep you safe. I promise” John assured her, before moving to collect the phone from Adam.“John is right Melody, Bobby would be caught and arrested at all cost for his crimes, you do not have to ever worry again” Adam added, handing the phone over to John, as he took it towards his computer and commenced work on it immediately. He connected the phone to his computer at once, and began to scroll through the messages till he got to the top. He made it bold enough on the screen so we could all see as he began to scroll through the unnecessary messages between father and daughter.“Stop,” Melody said as we got to the first voice note. It was not even loaded yet like she had said“That’s the first voice note I got from him, if you can play it please, I’m ready.” She added, adjusting her chair and obviously her mind to listen

    Andre's POVMy hands were shaky as I picked up the phone to call Bobby back and it was obvious to every man in the room. I knew that we had enough evidence to pin him down but I couldn't shake the underlying feeling of fear that Bobby was a step ahead of us. He was not a fool and we would be the bigger fool to believe that Bobby was to be underestimated. “Hello” His gruff voice sounded from the other end of the line as the call connected and I saw John signaling me to move closer so he could trace the call. “Is my money ready yet?” He asked before I could even get a word in. I took a second to steady my breathing and act calm before responding, “Almost ready, Bobby. Joan is in the hospital and we're trying to be there for him”“I don't bloody care, Andre. He could be dead and I still won't care. Don't think I'll go soft on you because bloody Joan had a small issue” He scoffed mockingly. “It's not a small issue as you think. He needs surgery and everyone is not in the right heads

    Christabel's POVStaring at my reflection in the mirror, I grinned hard, my heart beating as I swallowed.I turned my head to the side, taking a close glance at my makeup but there was no flaw I could point out.Suddenly, a loud voice came followed by Melody's bouncy self. "Christabel, are you ready?"I couldn't get to answer because she let out a scream, her eyes flashing with excitement as she took in my form. "Oh my gosh Christabel, you are so beautiful!" She gushed, taking a deep look at me. I beamed at her, standing with a pose so she could see me perfectly."Andre would trip when he sees you."I blushed at her words, shyly lowering my head to look at the floor. For someone so young, Melody was too chirpy for her good. Nonetheless, I bit my lip, looking at her with doubt on my face, "do you think so?""Of course!" She assured causing some of the doubts to roll but still, I was nervous. Today was a huge day for me and Andre, as it was our official wedding.You might be wonder

    Andre's POV"Adam!" I yelled as I ran into his mansion, anger clouding my features. "Adam you better get out here 'cause it's urgent!"My voice raked through the air, straining my throat. My heart pounded like a drum, anxiety climbing like a spider over my heart. A few hours ago, I was in the office, reviewing some documents when I received a distress call from Christabel.Before I could panic, I received a message next from Bobby telling me to meet him at a warehouse I wanted to save Christabel from being raped by Joan.This fucking bastard!Did he know I almost died because of him? But here he was lusting after my wife!I rushed to study, grabbing him by the neck before he could react. I roared into his face, "If you don't follow me now, I don't care what's going to happen to your son!""What the fuck is wrong with you Andre?" Adam snarled, smacking my hands off his clothes."What's wrong?" I scoffed, running a hand through my hair. "What's wrong is that stupid son of yours going t

    Bobby's POV"Shit!"I cussed as I walked through the streets, lowering my head while adjusting the hat on my head. The sound of sirens blaring filled my ears, causing me to groan. I balled my fists, as I threaded through the dark street, the flickering light from a street lamp, obscuring my vision.It was late at night, but everything seemed like day to me. I pushed a wooden board out of the way, looking behind to see if there was anyone following before I went in. The room went dark as I closed the only source of light from getting in before walking in deeper. "Bobby is that you?" A deep voice sounded in the dark and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Ignoring the question, I strolled deeper into the room only for me to stop, as he stood in front of me. "What do you want?" I growled, feeling a vein tick at the side of my neck. Through the dark, I saw him flinch, shaking his head as he backed away, probably recognizing my voice."S–sorry," he stammered, taking steps back.He should

    Christabel's POV"Are you ready?" Andre's voice wafted into my ears as we stood in front of the huge doors leading to the courtroom. Licking my lips, I hummed in reply while putting on a serious face. Andre sensed my emotions, so he wrapped his huge palms around mine. Today was the day we claimed everything that was ours back. After Andre's words in the hospital three weeks ago, things had taken a drastic change. Adam and Katherine had refused to believe their son had a hand in any of the things happening, so they stormed off looking for him. However, they were crushed by the truth. It was right in front of us the whole time and we failed to notice it.To prevent Bobby from harming his stupid nephew, Andre had planned on sacrificing himself.At first, Andre didn't believe it, but when he called and didn't get a reply from Joan he knew it was true. Having been discovered, John, Jimmy, and Joan all ran away without a trace, the action casting pain on the couple. "Let's go, Christa

    Christabel's POVSitting in the ward, the constant sound of the heart monitor's harsh beeping penetrated my ears, making me squeeze the pale fingers in my hands tighter. My eyes strayed onto Andre's sleeping figure on the bed, my heart aching at the sight of him. His face was as pale as a sheet, his hair long and messily curled on the pillow.On his face was a mask which allowed him to breathe. A fog covered the mask as he breathed through an oxygen mask, his chest a slow rise and falling.My eyes rested on his wrist, which was bandaged, a patch of blood appearing on the white material.What were you thinking Andre?"I felt my eyes sting, and I blinked to stop the water from falling. Thinking of what happened that day was like a nightmare I wish to wake up from.Coming to the apartment and finding Andre with his left wrist slashed, and a kitchen knife beside him was indescribable.I remembered through my haze how I frantically ran into the apartment, not knowing what to do and it

    Christabel's POVI looked out the window, the morning sun hitting my eyes.It's been a month since I last saw Andre or spoke to anyone in particular.After that day, I didn't return to the apartment or bother going to Adam's. I went to my grandma's old house.Before she died, she left the property in my name, and I was glad the house was still standing despite how wrecked it looked.Andre had somehow gotten wind of where I stayed but that was two days after.In my haste to get away from him, I cut off every trace that could lead him to where I was, but a McDonald was always a McDonald. Criminal or not, Andre braved through the streets, looking for me, and that touched me only a little.I squinted my eyes, hoping I could catch a glimpse of his figure on the porch, but he wasn't there.Andre had been coming for weeks without stopping, trying to talk to me, but nothing he said made sense to me. I was sure he was trying to make excuses. I wrapped my hands around myself, letting the curt

Calm down, Christabel.I exhaled through my lips, gripping the table as hard as I could, my knuckles going white."How dare you?!" The male's voice boomed through the wooden doors, echoing in the empty restaurant. I couldn't make do with what the woman said, but it riled the man up. "I gave you my trust, everything you needed, and this is how you repay me?"The man's shout caused me to jerk this time.My brows creased, and I couldn't help but narrow my eyes as I listened to the voice. "Listen, that shit you pulled in front of the media? You are going to take it down!" Was that Andre's voice?I squinted my eyes, my heart racing as I listened deeply."I can make you if you don't do as I say." The man growled, his voice a deep rumble through the restaurant.Oh gosh! It is Andre's voice. My eyes widened, and I stood to my feet. I have to stop him!Thi

    Christabel's POVHolding onto my bag while I crossed the road, I couldn't help the tension that suddenly built in my heart.Pausing in my steps, I lowered my head, looking at my toes through the flat sandals I wore. My heart was racing, and I felt my breath stuck against my throat as I thought of what today was. Today was D-day, meaning it had been two days since I met Jacqueline at the parking lot, and I still didn't dare to tell anyone. Clutching my bag, guilt washed over me.Andre had told everyone about meeting Bobby at the court, as well as the possible hand he had in the case while I kept quiet about mine.What was I to do anyway? I couldn't walk up to Andre and tell him I had made a deal— well, sort of, with Jacqueline.That would shatter him."Hey, get off the road!" An angry yell came from behind me, causing me to snap out of my daze. Hurriedly, I apologized to the red-faced man who had bags of groceries in his hands, before making way for him as he cursed while moving.Si

    Christabel's POVThe drive home was uneventful. I was stuck in my head, even forgetting about lunch. I drove to the garage, sighing as I turned off the engine. I closed my eyes, running my hand tiredly in my face. Meeting Jacqueline had drained the energy out of me.Since the news of what Jacqueline said on television had caught the attention of the media, we had decided it was best to move. It wasn't Adam's mansion but one of Andre's.He had bought a small apartment in one of his friend's estate— although I have no idea who that friend was. I unlocked the door, closing it with a bang as I stepped into the apartment.The apartment was huge, facing a wonderful landscape.Andre had planned to surprise me with this apartment for our honeymoon, but that was also destroyed by Bobby's incessant butting in. Pushing the door open, the door closed with a gentle click.I walked into the apartment and saw the light in the living room on. Was Andre back? I dropped the keys into the key tray a
