Jordan's P . O . V

"Whoa. You're home early." Ralph commented more from shock when I stepped into the house after closing from work and I raised a questioning brow at him where he sat by the TV in the living room with a huge snack pack not too far away from where he sat on the small rug with his cellphone In one hand.

"What's the matter? Have a sneaky link somewhere around the house you don't want me to meet?" I jested in response and only when did the words leave my lips did I realize how ridiculous they actually were.

"No. I mean, you're back home way earlier than normal. I actually wasn't expecting you until...... You know, later" he explained and I nodded in understanding.

Ever since he moved in, I've been returning home really late into the evening because I would certainly always find an excuse or the other to stay away from home after work hours and Brittany's was usually my first stop before coming home.

"Nah.... That's nothing. Actually, I usually close from work around this

    Jordan's P . O . VA very lovely saturday Morning and as typical, I remained laying in bed up until late into the morning.My alarm had rung at some point but I proudly slapped the device off my bedside table and I think I heard it shatter to pieces but I'm not quite sure because I couldn't care less about it.I seriously would have loved to remain in bed still, but unfortunately I was drawn back to reality by the harsh rays of sunlight hitting directly on my face.Like a two year old, I rubbed violently on my eyes with the back of my hand and squinted them open but regretted it immediately as my eyes weren't quite ready to recieve that much amount of light.Grumbling, I kicked off the covers and walked towards the windows and yanked the curtains together violently to shield out the sun from my room.Perfect. Now that's better.Just when I wanted to dump myself back in bed, I realized I've really got to pee and I just couldn't be more annoyed.Every damn thing keeps ruining my sleep!

    Jordan's P . O . V"Mum... What are you doing here?" I questioned still in shock of finding my mother standing before me and squeezing me in suffocating hugs every now and then."What am I doing in my house or what am I doing in your room that Is still in my house. Which is it?" She questioned jokingly as she focused on tucking loose strands of my hair behind my ears."You know what I mean Mom. We weren't expecting you back now. Not until next week" I explained and she drew in a deep breath like she does when she's about to get busy explaining things."Well, your Mother was too worried about you both amongst other fears of having the house burnt down to its last brick so she requested we return home as soon as possible and so we decided to hop on the very next flight back home." Fred explained on her behalf and I immediately peeled my eyes off mom and rested it on him who had just appeared up the stairs with Ralph following very closely behind.Wow. everyone was present here now.Firs

    Jordan's P . O . VJust when I thought my life was going great, I reached the office and my mood got completely ruined the exact same moment i walked in to find my sworn enemy from the previous week frowning at me.Adrian Shelton is here. Great. just Great.Not only did I forget this is the Monday that commences the beginning of our working together, I had a seriously rough morning. Since I had smashed my alarm clock during the weekend, I didn't have anything to remind me I needed to be at the office until as usual, Brittany's phone calls that got me disoriented came in when I realized I needed to be at the office in five minutes when it's a whole twenty minutes away.Searching for what to wear alone ate up the whole of the five minutes and left me screaming in my head while I brushed my teeth and got dressed in my bright red loose pants and fitted black long sleeved shirt way faster than I've done in years."You're late!" He barked out at me and I tried to ignore him and focus more

    Jordan's P . O . VThis morning, I didn't need an alarm clock nor Brittany's phone calls to wake me up from sleep no. I didn't need any of those at all because I remained wide awake almost through out the entire night. For some strange reasons, I kept on tossing and turning in bed and whenever I finally found a comfortable enough position to fall asleep in, I would suddenly peel my eyes open a few minutes later and that continued for the rest of the night up until i noticed the first trace of dawn through my windows I left opened and I got out of bed.Right then at that early hour of the day, I made a decision to put aside every personal feeling of contempt I have towards Mr Shelton. That way, we perhaps might be able to tolerate each other better for the sake of the project at hand.We have to be in agreement if at all we are going to work together and I knew that for a fact we were both far from being in agreement. I can't really speak for him but I do know his presence alone was

    Jordan's P . O . VNow I knew why he termed my office a hole without even getting to see it.It was indeed a hole compared to the place I was now currently standing. The wide and sparsely furnished office held an additional touch of elegance the pure white high walls were already more than enough to emit.From where he sat behind his expensive mahogany desk watching me like a hawk, he appeared dominant in his territory and I swallowed hard at how inferior I was starting to feel for no reason at all.He held out his hand towards the empty seat opposite him and that was only when I realized I hadn't moved an inch since I stepped in for several minutes.I drew in a deep breath to fuel my low leveled boldness before taking difficult steps forward until I reached the seat and let my eyes look past him to the floor length window completely made of glass that allowed a very clear view of the vast city looking tiny and beautiful from up here. I should complement his office shouldn't I?No!

    Unknown P . O . V"We have him" my hired Hitman informed me and only then was I able to heave a sigh of relief.I trusted his abilities to a near one hundred percent but one can't really be too certain especially due to the fact that Mr Shelton is a man of great importance."I hope for a fact you left no traces behind?" I questioned in response."Are you gonna teach me how to do my own job?" He bit back and I remained silent. I knew better than to piss off a thug especially one in business with me. I couldn't risk turning him against me."That is not what I meant" I clarified and set myself free from my tie that was beginning to feel alot too suffocating."There was although one small problem." He announced and the atmosphere around me suddenly turned cold."Whatever could that be?" I questioned eagerly. I hated to thing something went wrong with the operation."A lady got into the scene and we had no other choice but to bring her along as well" he explained.That wasn't part of the

    Adrian's P . O . VIt's been hours.I couldn't really tell how many because the people who abducted us took with them my wristwatch and every other thing asides the clothings I had on.My head hurt like a bitch ever since I got hit in the head with what I suppose should be a hockey stick. I don't really know. I didn't exactly pause to behold what weapon I was attached with from behind.It was bad enough that I was locked up in some dirty hole, but what was even worse was that I couldn't bring myself to think properly without getting interrupted by the annoyingly loud weasel who unfortunately happens to be my cellmate or in this case, Hole-mate.I would give anything right about now to get a separate hole but I'm currently in no position to make choices. I tried so hard to think who could be behind all of this but I couldn't bring my mind down to anyone in particular.It couldn't be her definitely. Although her wide mouth and untamed audacity, she could never pull such scheme. I seri

    Ralph's P . O . VIt's been hours.And I didn't know if it was just me being paranoid for no reason but Jordan was still yet to return home.I've been seated in the living room for hours playing video games and waiting for that moment where she walks in with the usual cute frown on her face with some detailed complaints about her Boss or some other random employee she happened to have had a clash with during the course of the day.I really shouldn't be so worried. Yes, It was way past evening but not exactly too deep into the night yet and besides, she could just be over at her Best friend's place so I shrugged off the thoughts before taking another one of the few cookies left in my plate.I really wanted to save her some but I doubt any of that would happen at this rate."Sweetie, any word from Jordan?" Zoe questioned moments later from behind me where she suddenly appeared from somewhere around the house."No. I only saw her leave this morning and that was it" I replied with a warm

    Jordan's P O VI was a mess.An emotional wreck at the same time a physical mess because my eyes were not only swollen and red from crying but were also darkened down to little above my chin with the smudges from my mascara.I was still in that same state pacing around the place when my door flung open again."Mom please...." I said out in a weak and broken voice without even turning to see who it was and next, I heard short quick steps reach me from behind and before I could even think to turn so I could see who it is, the person's arms wrapped me from behind.The matching best friend wristwatches we got for both our single asses some valentines ago that sat present on the person's wrist told me who it was and with teary eyes, I turned to face Her and cried into her shoulder while she slowly rubbed my back without saying a word."I'm so sorry." She whispered close to my ears and all I did was nod and wipe on my face with the back of my hand a little too violently."I don't know what

    Jordan's P O V I feel like life happened to me so fast and I must say it's particularly hard accepting my new reality but it stared me in the face. The little hug from Ava after I finished saying my last goodbyes to Dad was literally the only thing I needed at that point. I squeezed my little sister in my arms and was grateful for her existence. It feels as though she's my only gift from my father and I wished I brought her as much comfort as she did me. She's only just as old as I was when Dad left Mom and I in the first place so I alone knew how difficult it's gonna get and that too, seeing as it's a worse situation right now because he's never gonna come back, it really is gonna be a lot worse for her.Atleast, I clung unto the hope that he would return to me someday but she doesn't have a chance at that hope.She clearly knows he's never coming back. She slowly eased out from our embrace and I quickly wiped my face clean from tears with the back of my hand

    Adrian's P O VBlack has always been my favorite.But right now that I had it on alongside everyone else, it feels more like a plague.Ava's cute little dress didn't get a chance to shine because the look on her face was that of grave sadness.She's certainly the bravest girl ever but I still wished there was anything at all, just a single thing I could do to brighten her even if a little.My eyes left Ava for my Mom who looked to be the most affected by the turn of events.Her tear sunken eyes looked as red and broken as ever and all I could do was gaze. Ralph stood afar off with Brittany wearing somewhat matching expressions on their faces and Fred stood nearby them with his wife's face buried in his chest.I swallowed hard after carefully studying each of them.I found myself in distress but not so much that I couldn't notice Jordan wasn't anywhere in sight.I recalled the last place I had seen her and thought she could still be there and after I took a number of steps away from t

    Jordan's P O VFew minutes ago, I stood in place wondering why Adrian's supposedly Dead Father was standing right in front of us but seconds ago, My entire life flashed before my eyes when I saw his gun swing in my direction and he fired without warning.My life played before me in slow motion while I froze with my eyes closed waiting for what was about to come.My head was too busy to make out the number of voices around me that screamed out in horror but I heard them all screaming softly in the background of my head while my eyes were held firmly close.The place went silent and the shot was fired but I felt no impact from it.What had happened?I was more than certain he had aimed at me.More so, I heard and saw him fire.I slowly peeled my eyes open and the first person I saw through my slightly dizzy eyes was Adrian standing a distance opposite me and the look in his eyes looked like he literally was about to shed a good amount of tears. I looked from him to myself in search of

    Adrian's P O V"We meet again, SON." His Voice flooded my ears and I was struck with a serious brain cloud that left me Dazed for several minutes.I couldn't grasp what was happening and my swollen head didn't let me a chance to even try.How is he speaking to me right now?How can I see and hear him speak?How is he here?He- He's supposed to be Dead."How- How- How are....." I tried as much as I could to speak but my every utterance came forth as stutters."You must be Really surprised to see me. Well, let me tell you this. Real men never Die so easily." Came his response as though he could see the train of questions I had in my racing thoughts.I could tell I was conscious but I still told myself this is only one of my many nightmares borne from my traumatic experience with having him as A Father because there's no way he's actually here right now and smirking at me.His eyes left me and landed on my mother who seemed like she was soon to pass out where she cowered behind Anthony w

    Jordan's P O V The strange man who is the reason I'm being held captive moved away from me after having whispered close to my ears and he returned himself back to his wheelchair still with a disturbing expression on his face and everything about him was questionable. I mean, who uses a wheelchair when he walks perfectly fine. And why does he have a resting evil face? I watched the man look into his wristwatch then rolled away almost completely out of sight on his Mobile chair while I studied him intently still trying to place an identity on him but I couldn't agree with the growing thought in my head because the door was soon thrown open and a troop of people I very well recognized buzzed in. I couldn't keep my eyes focused on them all at the same time so I kept my eyes fixed on the one I had yearned for the whole night up until this moment and he also had his eyes directly on me since he barged in. His steps towards me increased greatly especially when he noticed

    Adrian's P O VMy verbal exchange with Ralph soon ended when we both followed Brittany out of the house and were met with a strange thing staring us all in the face."Is this how you recieve your mails?" I questioned as Brittany crouched down to pick up the little enveloped letter we walked out to meet right in front of the doorway after we stepped outside."Who sends mails when you could just text?" Ralph questioned while Brittany flipped the envelope in her hand back and forth probably in search of words but it was plainly blank."How did this get here?" She questioned to no one In particular and I frowned when a thought dropped in my head."This wasn't here while I got here. The real question should be, Who brought this here?" I pointed out and they both kept silent for seconds before Ralph rushed steps away from where we stood towards the curb and while at a spot, he turned his neck from left to right in search of anyone who could have possibly brought this."There's no one in sig

    Jordan's P O VMy eyes slowly fluttered open and what followed was a sharp groan that escaped my lips when my previously shut eyes came in contact with the light that invaded my sight.I should have been confused as to where the hell I found myself but surprisingly, my memories came to me alot faster than I had expected.I remember being hauled from where I stood by the school's yard and I also remember being thrown into the hideous looking van like a sack of potatoes but what I don't remember is the face of whosever sent a blow to my head nor do I remember what any of his colleagues that yanked me away look like thanks to the ski masks they had on at that time.This is the second time I'm finding myself in a situation like this just that this time, I'm all to myself and I had nothing to ponder upon as to why anyone would wanna abduct me.No reason I came up with made any sense at all and all I did as I sat there on the cold floor was slowly Blink my eyes open so I could behold the fa
