Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update? I waited for your call yesterday since you said you were going to call. “Yeah yeah,Lena. I’m on it. I was going to call you yesterday but something came up, my guys suggested we hang out with some hot chick, I came home pretty wasted. Anyways, I just got a lead. But I need to ask you something, thought you said you only have one child?” Lena sighed,” yes,why?” She asked her voice almost a whisper. “Because according to my source,it was two kids that was taken that day,then we kept digging. Some guy named..what’s his name? Oh, right, Jack. Jack something, I don't really give much fuck about his name though. According to him, a lady came to rent the van from his shop, she claimed she needed it to pack her things because she was relocating. We've has been trying to track the lady but
Lena’s pov A strong arm,too strong...wrapped around my waist. Hun? A sharp pain hit my head,making me squeeze my eyes in pain,and wince. I touched my forehead with the bottom of my palm...and my eyes snapped opened... seeing how hot my body was. A pounding headache, foggy memories with my mouth dry. My gaze fell upon my bare skin. Panic set in. I scrambled for something, anything, to cover myself. A nearby towel. My mind raced. How did I end up here? What happened last night? Memories trickled in. A night out with my director with some crew members. The director had organized the party to celebrate me for being selected as the main character for a role. A flirtatious stranger, my cheeks flushed in anger. It was then I realized that I have been slept with. I screamed my lungs out, causing the strange man to wake up. I was captivated by his look. His eyes were like piercing blue ocean. Chiseled features as he slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes, assessed h
“How possible is this?” one of the media asked. “ This is Mr Gray. The Ceo of Sunny Media Production, real estate agent, and a tech.” another press media bantered. As their jaws dropped in surprise and shocked including mine, why didn't I noticed that it was the Almighty Gray, no wonder he threatened to sue me. He has a lot of connections and he commands respect. “How possible is this. You have never been with any woman and we heard you dislike women. How could she possibly be your wife to be.” another press teased. “She is a slut, and she bullies me a lot in our industry. She sleeps with producers just for a role”. Sophia said throwing herself on Grag as she cried. “ I love her regardless of her bad sides, and enough of all this or I will be forced to sue all of you for false accusations”. Gray said pushing Sophia away from his body. The press media began to leave as they fear to be sued. Leaving Sophia, Gray, and myself there. “Darling, thought you were rushing t
Gray’s pov Her grey curls and elegant presence clouded my mind, and everything in the clearing seemed to have faded away, leaving just the two of us. My eyes stared dreamily. I was drawn to her. I longed for her in a way that was new to me, a way that made everything else irrelevant. My hands swiftly came out of my trousers pocket and nervously adjusted my tie, trying to compose myself and make me look presentable but I just couldn’t control the urge. They were killing me, she was vulnerable and drunk. I was going to take advantage of her, how did I become a monster? I kept withdrawing myself from her but I was drunk and weak too. My lips brushed hers, and I felt her soft lips pressed against mine, my hands traced her cheeks, as she gently blushed shying away. She closed her eyes and slowly surrounded herself with me. I wrapped myself around her, and held her closed as I inserted my cock inside her, she screamed and whispered, begging for more. I had never felt so a
I was energetic and ready to face the world as I walked to the stage full of life and enthusiasm. Everybody kept taking a glance at me and wondered what had been done this time around, throwing smiles at everyone on set as I used my eyes to search for Lily. I was becoming uneasy and uncomfortable at the atmosphere but I just couldn't leave, as the director was addressing some crew members. I still wondered what could be keeping Lily and why she wasn't picking up my calls or answering any of my texts. “What did Fvck are you doing here? Sitting so comfortable”. Lily screamed out as she crapped my hands walking us to a corner. “What's going on? What have I done again”.I asked staring blankly at Lily as my mind raced in thoughts. “Sophia lost three different roles play. Rumors as it that Sunny Media called in and commanded her dismissed. Everybody believes Gray did it for you, but we don't understand why he had to release a sex tape of her with different producers.” Sophia ex
Gray pov: She's just ungrateful. I thought girls loved being taken care of. Why is she so full of herself? I wasn't sure why I couldn't shake her off my head, I didn't want to appear weak and needy, I just kept throwing myself at her hoping she would come to me but the more I tried the more she stayed away. “I only told you to get Sophia dismissed, why did you post her tapes, how did you even get hold of it,” I asked Theo clenching my fist as I fumed in anger and disappointment. “ I only wanted to spice things up, I didn't know Lena wasn't going to be okay with it. She's such a sweet girl, I'm sorry. Why would you even scare her off like that, you keep ruining your chances of getting close to her.”Theo replied dropping into the chair across me. “You should only do what I asked you to do. How's the search going? Any news about their hideout? I asked hoping for good news. “Not really. His mansion has been empty since yesterday. We saw his men rushing out earlier today but w
Gray pov For Leo to come after Lena, which means that Oliv is alive, and she has escaped from Leo. I knew it, she couldn't just leave me like that, she's strong and I am not giving up on her again. Olive, I don't know why you changed your name to Lena but I believe you are trying to protect your identity and I will do anything and everything to keep you safe. “What are we doing with Lena,doctor said it might take a while for her to wake up” Those words shaken me out of my thoughts as Theo said glancing at me as he was looking for the answers on my forehead. “ She stays here, we can’t expose her to more danger” I restored pacing around in my office. “What if Lena is not Oliv, what if it’s their resemblance that is confusing. What if you later find the real Oliv, will you stop loving this imaginary Oliv”. Theo questioned in fear as he prayed not to get killed. I turned looking at Theo as dark presence lurking within us. “I don’t need you doing any digging, she is Oli
Gray pov The impact sent our car spinning,and the world went dark. I struggled to stay conscious as I watch the other car drove off in speed. Theo was rushed to the hospital by the ambulance while we lost Mike. My head hazy, but the pains were real. I had to follow another car to the hospital, I knew Leo was behind it as I requested for a new cell phone “Dig into Leo, find out everything that he has been up to over the past years. Get me his men that ran over us today. Guess I have to start from his men”.My anger simmered,waiting to erupt as I hang up the phone. “Yes boss”.He softly answered from the end. Leo suddenly disappeared back to get Oliv,why is he so angry. What really happened between them back then. I was awaken from my thoughts as my phone rang. “What is the update”. I asked clenching my fists. “Boss. It wasn’t Leo’s men that ran over your car,It was a woman. We couldn’t see her face on the CCTV footage as she was on a mask and she was too fast has sh
Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update?

The silence was deafening. Lena and her husband, once inseparable, sat across from each other at the dining table, a chasm of unspoken words separating them. The soft glow of the chandelier cast long, eerie shadows on the walls, mirroring the darkness that had crept into their relationship. Lena gazed was fixed on her plate, the untouched meal a stark reflection of her turmoil. Her heart ached with a mix of regret and longing. She missed the days when laughter filled their home, when their love was a beacon of warmth and comfort. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to amplify the silence, each tick a painful reminder of the time slipping away. They had once shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Now, it felt like they were strangers, living under the same roof. Gray,equally lost in thought, kept stealing glance at her. He couldn’t figure why she was so angry at him,he blamed himself for getting drunk that day, all this incident could have been avoided. They finished thei
The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Oliv face. She sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the bustling bush outside the window. Yesterdays conversation with Sebastian replayed I her mind, his words stinging like a fresh wound. His sharp tone, his sarcastic words- it had caught her off guard. She thought she'd finally meet someone that will love her without judging her, shed always admired his quick wit and a d easy charm, but yesterday, he’d shown a side of him, to even think it was not his time of saying that to her. Emily glanced at the entrance, her heart pounding. She was hearing Sebastian's voice, he was probably heading in her direction, she wasn't prepared to face him. Instead, she buried herself in her water, pretending to be lost in thought. She could feel his presence, the weight of his eyes on her, but she refused to look up. She wanted to avoid the awkwardness, the tension, the possibility of another bitter truth from him. “The kids w
The stale air of the basement hung heavy, thick with the scent of fear and dust. Oliv,her heart a leaden of weight, shuffled forward with a tray of untouched sandwiches. The children, huddled together like a frightened birds,met her gaze with defiance. “Come on, now," she said , her voice barely a whisper. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything since..." She trailed off, the memory of their terrified faces when she'd first dragged them down here too painful to bear. “We don’t like this place, we want to go home.” Garry said his voice barely a whisper. Silence stretched between them, the only sound the ticking of an old grandfather clock in the corner. The sandwiches sat untouched, a stark contrast to the emptiness in their hollowed eyes. “You will soon go home, your dad is only making this complicated,trading your life for wealth, is it even worth it?” Oliv sighed.” You will have to eat something,please just have a bite. It will break your mom heart to see you weak,you need
Theo hung up the phone, his heart pounding to his chest. The image of his parents rushing into the operating room flash before his eyes. He couldn't what he'd just heard. Gray knew all these years and kept it from him, his dad was involved. How could he be responsible for his own brothers' deaths? The thought was almost unbearable. Anger surged through him, a hot, consuming fire. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms. How could someone so cold, so calculating, be capable of such a heinous act? He'd always seen Gray's dad as a pillar of the community, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect life. But now, Theo saw a different side of him, a darker, more sinister side. And Gray kept this away from him, was he covering up his father's evil deed? Was he in support? Leo stormed out of his room, his mind racing. He needed to confront Gray, to demand answers. He found Gray in his studying room, lost in thought. Gray looked up, his expression puzzled. “What's
Leo pov I was unsettled, pacing around in his room, Gray was singing the papers today. That shit was supposed to be mine, he was supposed to be handing everything to me today but that old fool decided to outplay and outsmart me. He won't be in that office for long, I will do destroy him. My thought was cut short with call from Peter. “How did it go? Has the papers been signed?” I asked. “No, it was a terrible event.” Peter replied. “What do you mean?” “Old man got pissed,punched Gray on the face, Gray got angry and his men killed almost all old man men. Gray said he had to see his son before any ownership will be transferred.” Peter explained. “And?” I asked “There was no sign of Garry after much wait, only for Sebastian to rush in with bruises that he was ambushed. Guess, old man also have someone that is watching him.” Peter replied. I scoffed,” this is good news,” I said letting out a cold smiling, “at least,no papers were signed and I am sure Gray won’t that s
Leo glanced at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His face, once a mask of confidence, was now marred with bruise and cuts. Peter and some men had injured him badly on the day of Lena escape. He couldn’t believe Peter could betrayal him like that,he trusted him,he could vow for him but he got it all wrong. After all,everything was survival of the defeated. He decided to go into hiding since they couldn’t kill him that night. ** Flash back to that night. “But boss said we should kill him and come with his head.” One of the men said,his voice barely audible. “I know and I telling you to give me some time, I have been with this man for a while, it won’t be easy for me to just kill him but , I promise to kill him.” Peter replied. “Remember we don’t have much time and you definitely know boss temper. “ another replied yelling out. Leo eavesdrop on their conversations,tears rolled down his cheeks. They were going to kill him,what about his daughter? How will she survive? Who w
Today was the day that Gray had promised to bring Garry back home. Lena paced back and forth, her anxious eyes scanning through the mansion. Her heart pounded in her chest, a restless drumbeat echoing the worry gnawing at her. What is keeping Gray, they should be here by now?” A familiar rumble broke the silence. The engine low growl signaled his return. Lena face lit up with hope. She rushed to the gate,her hand trembling as she watched the car drive in. The car pulled into the driveway, it’s headlights illuminating Gray weary face. Lena smiled faltered as she noticed the absence of their son. Gray stepped out of the car, his shoulders slumped,followed by Theo and Chris. They slightly bowed their head, greeting Lena as they walked passed them. “Where is Garry? her voice, a mere whisper. “Hes…still with Mr Thompson”, he lied, his voice barely audible. Lena's heart sank. Anger, disappointment and fear swirled within her. “ How could this happen? Why ain't you here with ou
As old man men kept falling, a silence descended upon the warehouse. “ I said,fucking make them stop.” Old man yelled out. Gray laughed,” why? Thought this was what you wanted.” He teased. “Fair enough then,” he yelled.” You should be expecting your son’s body if you don’t make them stop this moment.” Gray stared at his men, more like they were enjoying the killing, he signaled Theo to make everyone stop. The place became quite after everyone was calmed. Gary stepped forward,his face a mask of indifference.” Don’t you think it’s over?this is just a signal that you are no match for me. Why can’t you behave like your age,I won’t warn you to trade carefully again.” Gray said his voice barely a whisper. “The game is up, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Old man replied his cutting through the silence. Gray laughed, readjusted his suit as he sit.”why are you just standing there? Call your men,tell them they are wasting my fucking time.” “Why not sign the papers and I will have your
