"Good morning sir."

Helen said as she placed a cup of coffee in front of Leo.

"Morning." He answered as he took a sip from the cup. It was Ten AM and was still home and wasn't intending to be at the office till Twelve PM for the board meeting.

He took a bite from the toast spread in front of him and washed it down with the coffee.

Just then Oliver walked into the dining room.

"Isn't it too early for a visit?" Leo asked as he took a sip out of his coffee again.

"When issues arise,one doesn't need to care about time to sort them out." Oliver said.

"Have a seat friend,you may not have had breakfast before coming here," he said as he called out for Helen. "Helen."

"You called for me." Helen came to Leo.

Tell me everything!" Jenna said all at once with so much enthusiasm."You're crazy Jenna,what are you expecting?" Kylie asked as she sat on the bed."Cmon girl,was he slow or hard on you? I really wish I was right there to hear it from you." She asked curiously in excitement."You dirty.." Kylie said feeling embarrassed. "You know that can't happen.

They got into the car and Kylie drove out of the house and towards the airport."What about the house Kylie?" Jenna asked."I'll have someone take care of it before I return back to it." Kylie said."Return?" Jenna asked in surprise.Kylie nodded as she took a turn. "If after one year,the marriage still doesn't make me happy then we annul it." She said with a huge smile on her face."What sorcery did Rex use on you?" Jenna asked shaking her head."This is not sorcery Jenna. Mother said this."Jenna shrugged and looked out the window hoping the black veil covering her friend's eyes would be off her face soon. She wished Kylie could tell a good man from a bad one. They got to the airport and Jenna alighted from the car. She picked up her suitcase as Kylie stepped out of the car.They hugg

    Kylie was panicking as she was blindfolded and roughly towed along towards God knows where.

She was pushed roughly into a shabby cabin and she gasped when she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.A calloused hand gripped her arm and got her seated on the ground and began tying her up. He tied her hands behind her back and tied her legs together to prevent her from escaping.She whimpered as his fingers bruised her with each roping around her wrists."What do you want from me?" She finally asked finding her voice. "Is it money? Let me go and I'll give you all of it." She said to him.He chuckled. "That would have been a good bargain but someone else is not interested in your money." He said."Who is that person please? What does he want from me?" She asked."You're find out soon."
