Coyle chuckled and approached them. He stood in front of Muna and said, “I love you, Muna. I will do anything for you, but I love my parents as well, and they deserve justice.”“What stupid justice? Do you know how much Arthur loved his brother? Do you even know the bond they shared? How dare you think he would kill his brother?” Muna scolded, gripping her chest tightly. Damon quickly held her in his arms.“Come on, Muna. Let’s just leave. It’s obvious he’s sold his soul to the devil,” Damon muttered bitterly.Coyle clenched his fists but didn’t say another word. He knew Muna was already in a fragile state and didn’t want to hurt her further by responding.“If he’s innocent, then let him prove it. The cops wouldn’t have arrested him if they didn’t have evidence,” Coyle said as he walked back to his desk.Muna moved forward, her voice firm. “Show me the proof,” she demanded. She was determined to see what so-called "evidence" he had.“With pleasure.” Coyle retrieved some photos from hi
Hazel drove back to the mansion and was visited by an unexpected scene. At the entrance of the house were Tasha and Mia in a heated argument.She could hear them yell from her car.“Hazel is my best friend, and I have every right to be here; as for you…you have no right,” Tasha scolded, and Mia chuckled.“You must be stupid for saying that. Do you really think I have no right to be here?” Mia asked, and Hazel sighed.She parked the car and walked towards them. “Hazel,” they both called in unison, and she frowned.“Seriously, what’s this about?” Hazel questioned angrily.“You are both adults but keep arguing every time you meet; don’t you both have more productive things to do with your lives?” Hazel scolded as tears rushed down her cheeks, and they both stared at her in disbelief.“What’s wrong, baby?” Tasha hugged Hazel tightly as she kept crying; she rubbed her hair and cleaned her tears.“It’s okay; I am here now, and I will take care of it. Just give me names.” Tasha said angrily,
Hazel was done freshening up and walked out of the bathroom when she bumped into Coyle; he had been standing by the door waiting for her.“Uhm...hey.” She was so nervous because of how they ended things at his office and turned to walk past him when he grabbed her hand and pulled her back.Hazel flinched and grabbed onto her towel, which was at the verge of leaving her body. “What…what are you doing?” Hazel stuttered, and he raised a brow.“Do I need a reason to want you close to me?” Coyle questioned, and she shook her head in denial.“I need to leave; I am sure Muna hasn’t eaten the entire day, so…”“I should have told you.” Coyle chimed in, and her brows furrowed.“I should have told you about Arthur and my plans,” he added, and Hazel nodded; he should have, but he didn't.“Why didn’t you?” She questioned, and he let go of her hand.“Maybe because I didn’t want you to dampen the fire in me, to make me forgive and let go.” He knew that was the type of person she was; she would have
Coyle parked the car in front of the mansion, and his gaze shifted to Hazel, who kept avoiding eye contact with him.“Hazel,” he called, and she turned her gaze to him, and he noticed her face was wet from tears, and he felt his heart squeeze seeing his wife in such a condition.“I shouldn’t have spoken to Muna that way.” Hazel muttered; it was just the heat of the moment, and now Muna must feel very bad and very angry at her.“She will be fine, come.” Coyle walked down the car, but Hazel didn’t.So he pulled her car door open and carried her in his arms, and she wrapped her hand around his neck; she felt more comfortable this way.“I am sorry, Coyle. I should understand you more than everyone, but I don’t,” she confessed, and he kissed his teeth.“You do, baby,” he assured her before they walked upstairs to the bedroom, and he placed her on the bed.She was looking so tired, so he tucked her in the bed and rubbed her cheeks. “Go to sleep,” he whispered, and Hazel shook her head in de
Hazel returned to the sitting room with two cups of coffee and one cup of warm milk for Sven. she shoved the coffee towards Muna and one to Sam who smiled at her.“Thanks dear”Haze didn’t reply, she walked to Sven with the cup of milk “Here”“Why are you giving me milk?” Sven asked, and Hazel was confused; if not to drink, then what else?“You don’t like milk?” she questioned, and Sven shook his head in denial.“But I didn’t ask for milk”—that was the kid’s reason, and Sam walked towards them.“Do you want to receive a beating?” Sam questioned, and Sven quickly shook his head in denial before he took the cup of milk from Hazel and walked to Muna.“Do you have difficulties with the kid?” Sam asked, and Hazel sighed heavily and folded her arms below her bosom.“Please, I really don’t want to exchange words with you.”“And I am not here for that.” Sam assured Hazel “Yesterday you made me realise my mistakes and how unfair I have been to my nephew… I owe you a lot, Hazel."“You are a goo
Hazel returned to the mansion and was all lost in thought, she was wondering if Selene could have bad intentions towards the family.“This is so twisted,” Hazel sighed, and her thoughts got interrupted by the loud clattering sound of dishes in the kitchen, so she quickly headed there, and to her greatest surprise, Sven stood there surrounded by breakable plates.“Oh my…” Hazel hurried to the kid and lifted him up before rushing to the sitting room.“Are you okay? Tell me where it hurts.” Hazel was all paranoid as she kept scanning the kid’s body, but he simply pushed her hand away.“I am fine.” Sven frowned, and Hazel shook her head in denial.“What do you mean? What happened?” Hazel asked.“I just wanted to warm water for coffee; it’s not my fault that your slab is so high and the dishes fell off,” he snorted, and Hazel was confused; why would he ever want to do that?Her gaze shifted to his right leg where she noticed a scratch “I will be right back”She hurriedly got the first aid
Hazel chuckled in disbelief; he was one to question her when he just walked in with Selene.“I met up with Damon; we talked about his dad,” Hazel explained, and Coyle nodded.“I know you care so much for my family, but I don’t feel comfortable when you meet up with Damon,” he explained, and Hazel nodded.“I understand. I won’t meet up with him again,” she said.“Good…so did the doctor check up on you?” He asked, and she had a nervous smile. She had totally forgotten about the doctor and went to meet up with Damon.“Let’s go.” Coyle held her hand, and she frowned.“Where?” “Hospital,” he frowned when she stopped moving, so he carried her in his arms as she kept flinging her leg.“I am fine, Coyle; just let me be.”“I am not sick,” she tried convincing him, but to no avail, as he pulled the car door open and made her sit before driving away.“I assure you that I am completely fine… Yesterday I just felt nauseous and vomited,” Hazel kept explaining, but Coyle turned a deaf ear to her an
Coyle parked the car before he helped Hazel down, and she kept assuring him that she was fine.They got to the bedroom and found Sven deeply asleep on their bed. “He is so cute when asleep,” Hazel muttered, and Coyle chuckled before he rubbed his hand through the kid’s hair.“Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?” Coyle asked more to himself, and Hazel burst out in laughter; she can’t believe he was already thinking about that.“So what surprise did you have for me?” Hazel asked, and he rubbed her cheeks.“I think it will have to wait, baby.”“But I am not sick,” she pouted; the deal was that if she was sick, then there wouldn’t be any surprise, but she wasn’t.“Hmm… I will bring your dinner,” he said, and Hazel frowned at him, she wasn’t crippled; why did he have to bring her dinner?**Hazel’s sleep got interrupted by her phone, which kept ringing. She sighed and picked it up to discover it was a call from Damon.Her gaze moved to Coyle, who was deep asleep with Sven between them; she
The hall was filled with big business men who had all showed up for the launching of the new product who was told will change their lives forever.Coyle was busy discussing with some business men who kept trying to congratulate him for the product “I think you are congratulating the wrong person…Tradtech has a CEO you know” he said, he knew they were trying to garner favour from him so they could get the product installed in their companies and homes but he had no say in it.“But you are the…”“Yeah but i don’t handle Tradtech businesses anymore…” Coyle explained, of course he remains one of the biggest shareholder of Tradtech but he didn’t manage the business…he was focused on other lines of business and his wifeTalking of his wife, Hazel had just stepped into the hall with Muna and the others. A smile formed on his lips before he turned to those business men “Excuse me”They chuckled among themselves “He is a finished man, look at him running to his wife” they burst out in laughter
Mia sat in her office watching a Korean movie with a wide smile plastered on her face. She had chosen to be happy and come to terms with the fact that she will never get a fairytale romance life.A knock came from the door, and she frowned. “I am busy,” she yelled and continued with her movie, but the door pushed open, and her gaze shifted to the door.“You.” She quickly dropped her phone, and Jude scanned her office, his gaze landing on the many awards she displayed in her office, and couldn’t help but chuckle; it was so her.“Uhm…how can I help you?” Mia asked while rubbing her palms nervously, It’s been a month, and she hasn’t talked to him and chose to focus on healing because she knew there was no way he would ever consider her.“Here,” he shoved a folder to Mia, who picked it up and went through it, and her eyes lit up, but she chose to be composed.“Is this real?” she asked, and Jude nodded, and a smile formed on her lips.“Wait…why did you accept now?” She wondered, earlier wh
Damon was quickly sent to the emergency room with Dora, and Arthur kept pacing in front of the ward with Muna.“My grandson,” Muna was all pale from crying so much; she just wanted her grandson to be fine.“He will be fine,” Coyle said from behind, and they all turned to him before Muna hurried and hugged him tightly.“Coyle…Coyle.”“I am fine, Muna.” He kissed her forehead and smiled at Arthur, who nodded.“How is Hazel?” Muna asked, and Coyle nodded.“They are fine,” he replied with a wide smile. The doctors already did a checkup on her, and she was fine… All she needed was rest and a good meal.“They?” Arthur questioned.“Hmm…she is pregnant,” he blurted, and they all got sore eyes before the emergency ward pushed open.“How are they?” Arthur hurried to the doctor.“Your wife’s case is so critical, and I don’t think she will be able to live past five minutes,” the doctor explained, and Arthur gritted his teeth.“But your son is fine… He will be transferred to the general ward soon,
Dora chuckled and smacked her lips. “Coyle Anderson,” she called, and he walked closer and stood next to Damon.“Where is Hazel?”“If you go on your knee and beg me, then maybe…just maybe I could tell you where she is.” Dora burst out in laughter; she couldn’t believe they thought she was going to tell them where Hazel was.“I gave you what you asked for, so why didn’t you keep your side of the deal?” Coyle questioned, and Dora scoffed.“So what? I tell you where Hazel is and then get arrested by the cops?” She questioned, and Ray’s gaze moved to her phone, which was on the chair and kept ringing in silence.“Why? Why do this to me? My parents loved you.” Coyle questioned because he just couldn’t understand why Dora could do such.“I will check the other rooms.” Damon walked past Dora and picked up her phone before he dialled the number that just called her.“The ship is ready, but the lady keeps nagging. Is it okay if we give her sleeping pills?” A voice asked over the phone, and Dam
Coyle hurried to the kid who had cried his eyes out; there was a bomb wrapped around his waist, and he had no idea what to do.“Calm down….I am here,” he muttered and suddenly heard footsteps from the door. He quickly turned to find the cops and the expert.“Hurry up,” he prompted the expert, who stepped forward and got busy trying to deactivate the bomb.“Get him out of here…please,” Coyle said and turned to leave when Sven called.“Father…please, I am scared; don’t leave me here,” he cried out, and Coyle clenched his fist.He walked back, and the expert was taking a lot of time to deactivate the bomb. “It’s complicated, one minute,” he assured Coyle before he finally succeeded in deactivating it.“Sven…these men will take you home, and I will be right there, okay? I just have to find the criminals responsible for this,” he explained to the kid, who nodded.“Come with me.” Coyle pointed at the expert who followed him to his car, and he drove out before dialling Ray’s contact.“Did yo
Coyle had signalled the officers, and they were busy searching for Sven as well, and Sharon served everyone coffee, but they were all anxious waiting for Dora’s message.It had been more than an hour since she last called, and Coyle was already losing his mind. “She is doing this intentionally,” Coyle cursed before he clenched his fist.Damon’s phone rang, and he stared at them. “It’s her,” he said, and the call got connected before he placed it on speaker.“Your wife is such a nuisance, and I am tired of her… So I will tell you her location,” Dora said with a frustrated tone. She was tired.“And Sven…he is so noisy.”“Why do you have Sven? He is your grandson, so will you also hurt him?” Tasha asked in disbelief, was Dora that heartless?“I know how much Coyle loves his kid and wife, so I am going to hold onto them dearly,” she chuckled before Coyle’s phone signalled new messages.Dora had sent images to him; the first was one of Hazel tied to a chair with a bomb wrapped around her,
Coyle kept driving at full speed. After Dora had called her men, they were able to track Hazel’s location and immediately got into the car and drove out.“We are almost there.” Jude was behind his car with Ray, and they kept driving at full speed before arriving at the forest driveway leading to the mansion.“Coyle!!” Coyle’s gaze moved out of the window when he heard Hazel call; he saw a truck drive past them, and he could spot Hazel by the window.He quickly stopped the car. “Hazel…” he muttered and turned the wheels of his car, but countless nails were poured behind the truck, but he didn’t mind and drove past them as it ruined all his tyres.“Hazel,” he called and kept driving, but his car slowed down, and the truck was suddenly out of sight. He hurried down the car and pulled his hair in frustration when Jude and Ray ran to him.“They transferred her,” Ray said, and Coyle kicked his car angrily and kept pulling his hair…he was close…so close to her.“Fuck…fuck Dora,” he scolded a
Damon had stayed in his bedroom for a while now, lost in thought. He can’t believe his world was falling apart. All this while he blamed Coyle, meanwhile his mum was behind it.His phone rang, bringing him out of his trance, and he checked the caller…it was Coyle.He chuckled; this was the first time in ten years that Coyle ever rang his phone. “Hmm,” Damon said once the call got connected.“We are all set.”Damon walked out of his bedroom and downstairs before he scanned the sitting room but couldn’t find anyone. His gaze landed on Dora’s phone, which was on the table.His gaze moved to the kitchen, where he found Dora making coffee, so he hurried to her phone and unlocked it before he kept manipulating it.“Is it linked?” Damon asked Coyle who was still connected, but there was no reply, so he kept trying to link the phone.“It’s linked.” Coyle said, “We are going through the messages and her call logs…” Coyle added, and Damon dropped the phone and rubbed his palms nervously, hoping
Jude kept going through the company footage on his laptop. He had seen when some men hurried and hid in Hazel’s car before she got in. He kept replaying it to see if he could get their faces, but they all wore masks.Ray sat next to him with a frustrated tone. “Wait…zoom in,” he said, and Jude did just that before he stared at the watch one of the men had.“It’s customised, there must be a name….keep zooming” he said before he stood up and walked to Coyle who has been busy making phone calls, he just wanted everyone on the case.“If Dora has her, then believe me, she won’t hurt her… There is something she wants and probably plans to use her as collateral,” he explained, and Coyle chuckled.“Her husband is scared of her….so isn't that enough signal that she is a crazy person?” Coyle scolded before his gaze shifted to the door and he spotted Damon; he clenched his fist and walked to the door.“You have some balls showing up here” he scolded and Damon itched his nose.“I only came to hel
