"Where are you?" I asked into the phone just as my bodyguards surrounded me.

I had come with four of them, they were here for the physical support in case things went bad.

Uncle Pete had said four would attract attention to me but I didn't care and he had finally seen things from my own perspective and supported my decision.

I could not tell what Christian wanted to tell me that was a secret but I was definitely going to...wait!

I removed my dark glasses, recognition and confusion mixed.

When I confirmed what I had seen, rage began to boil within.

I ended the call unconsciously.

Catherine? That woman at the far end of the car park looked like her. And who was that man in ponytails?

No, I didn't care who he was. I was going to march up to that child-thieving, drug junkie and deal with her.

"Guys, go get that woman and make sure she doesn't escape." I decided, on a second thought, not to march up to her and let my security men handle her.

She was strong and might go violent on me.

    "What do you mean she's a Codza? Who are you talking about? Where is my house and company? The documents?" Confusion ran deep and pulsed through veins.He made another attempt to hold my hand and gripped it firmly this tight. No matter how much I tried to snatch it away, he wouldn't let go."I'm sorry babe. I regret everything I did to you. When I saw you at that party, I realized I had made a huge mistake leaving you. I'm sorry, babe. Let's fight to get this company and house back from that witch and live as we used to. I'm sorry but I want you back in my life."He rushed through his words, his eyes glazed with regret and pleas.My brain was frozen, unable to comprehend whatever he was saying. What did he mean by getting the house and company back?Had he mismanaged my father's hard work? Was he running bankrupt?"Is...is the company not doing well?" I asked him."Of course it's doing okay. More than okay. I'v

    "W-what are you doing here?" Christian stepped forward.My bodyguards thought he wanted to come near me so they pushed him back. But he struggled with them and snatched his hand away from their hold. I stared at the face of Jared, wondering why he was talking like that. "What is wrong with you? Why are you talking to me in that manner?"I had to remove my shades as though they were suddenly affecting my vision."What manner?" Jared stepped closer, brought his fingers to trail my face. I avoided his touch and frowned. "Don't touch me. Why the hell are you two trying to touch me and soften me up after the wrongs you have both done to me?!"A corner of his lip quirked. "What are...""Can I talk to you for a sec, J-jared?" Christian said from behind me."I'm not..." His eyes narrowed, his attention solely on Christian.His expression was suspicious so I turned to catch Christian trying to buy his silence, pleading with him not to talk.It made me suspicious all the more. I turned to Ja

    CATHERINE"What do you think you're doing, you pompous jerk?!" I fumed as I approached Phil Pillax.The man would not let me rest. Now he had me leaving my home to this same bridge in the middle of the night."Are you ready to work for me or not?" Just like me, he had his identity concealed.Even though it was midnight, no single soul on the road, one still had to be careful. There could also be the ones who might be walking home or wherever by this time of the night.The street lights were doing enough to keep the night bright. One could see well enough."No! Call me a million times, it's still no! I came all the way here to tell you that. Good night and good bye forever, Mr. Pillax!" My tone sharp and pissed.I turned on my heel, heading for home."I think this will help change your mind." He said casually."Nothing will change my mind." I threw a venomous glance over my shoulder."You're

    JEROME"Why would you do that, man?" Christian rounded on me as soon as we got to my place in the isolated part of the state. I wanted a low-key life while I carried out my reasons for returning to this place of painful memories."Do what?" I strode casually to the nicely built-in bar in my living room to get a bottle of vodka. "Hey you!" I snapped my fingers at one of the three maids I'd employed to keep the place clean and organized for me. "Yes sir." She approached me. "Get me lemon and a small knife." I ordered.She nodded. "Alright sir." And scurried out. I filled my glass, waiting for the lemon. "Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about, Jerome. How could you?!" He continued to rant. "Do you want a glass?" I asked instead. He emitted a low growl, reached where I was in three huge strides, snatched the glass I'd pour for myself and chugged. "Don't play the game of pretend with me Jerome, I'm not in the mood for it."I shrugged, knowing my next response woul

    "Hailey?" Uncle Pete shot up from his seat, a worried look on his face as he approached me. I sidestepped, avoiding any contact with him and walked upstairs to my room, not saying to him. Anger boiled and brewed as this sense of betrayal did.He would know. Uncle Pete would know it wasn't Jared who had taken advantage of me. He had always known of Jerome, after all he was their uncle. No wonder Jared had been angry and confused that day at the restaurant.It was because it wasn't him. Yet no one said anything to me six years ago. They let me make a fool of myself!"Hailey." His voice followed me upstairs as I heard the urgent padding of his feet to meet up with me.My pair of slippers was in my hand, same with my glasses. I opened my room and walked inside."Hailey, what's wrong wi..."I jammed the door in his face without waiting for him to finish his question. Today was an eventful one.The Johnson family was just unbelievable! Each and every one of them!Jerome was the one who

    MIAI took a deep breath as the gate of the large compound in the middle of nowhere opened.I didn't know what I was doing here but he was my only hope. I needed his help and if I had to pay him to get her out of the way, I would. I didn't care how much. Money was not the problem. "Hey, baby." He was already standing in front of his sprawling porch, waiting for me. I cleared my throat. "In the middle of nowhere, huh? I shouldn't be surprised.""You know me, love. I like my privacy." He winked. I hadn't been able to ask Jared or Martha why they lied about Jerome's death. First, they would want to know how I knew, which could lead to secrets I didn't want them to find out.Also, Jerome had warned me not to say a word to any of them about his presence here in the country."I'm here strictly on business." I told him, avoiding his hug. Unperturbed, he led me inside the house. But didn't stop at the living room. I wanted to question him but decided against it as we needed a more priva

    PETER"Mommy?" Zion opened his eyes to my delight.At least, we had one of them back to us. It was a win, a huge one.My heart still broke for little Zaya whom the doctor had no idea if she would ever wake up from what she'd termed a 'death-sleep'.Many never do, she had confessed, and it was even worse in children. There had been no record of any child who had survived the 'death-sleep'.The pediatrician had explained that 'death-sleep' was just as the name implied. The patients were not exactly dead but they weren't considered alive as well.They just hang on the balance which more often than not tipped to the side of death.She had advised we pull the plug but Hailey had insisted to leave it and I supported her."Hey baby. You're awake." Hailey hugged him so tight I thought she would not let go but she finally did and kissed his forehead.Zion looked at me. "Daddy?"I was not

    I watched Denise cat-walked into the exclusive restaurant I had arranged for us to meet.Denise had intentionally delayed the meeting for one hour. Impatience and anger brewed but I kept my cool and waited for her to reach my table. When she finally did, I snapped. "You're late.""Fashionably so." Denise flashed me a smile. "Don't you think my outfit looks great?" She even did a small twirl for me to see."Sit and quit behaving like a peacock in heat." I hissed lowly.That upset her and she emitted a low growl, but she sat her stupid ass down. "Don't think because you're the bitch of the hot, famous CEO, you have the right to be haughty."I smiled and brought out an envelope. I slid it across the table to her. "What's that?" She eyed the brown envelope, not making any move to take a look at its contents or even pick it up."Open it, it doesn't bite." I urged her."What is in there?" She took off her sunglasses, placing them on the table."How will you find out then?" I kept my gaze

    MIAThe smile that had plastered itself on my face would not come off and I didn't think I wanted it to. This was going to be another issue but I didn't realize how much I missed waking up beside Jared.I couldn't remember much of yesterday but I knew something had happened between us both and it was really nice. I wish both brothers would let me be with them together.A woman having two husbands was unusual but not forbidden. "Where have you been?"The familiar voice finally succeeded in wiping off my smile, the old hag. Slowly, I did a turn to face her. I'd intentionally ignored her presence on one of the sofas while her face was glued to the television, hoping she'd ignore me as well. "Out." My response was bland."Jerome called you all night and this morning.""I already told him where I'd be." I knew how to deal with Jerome, if only Martha would butt out of it. "Yeah, of course." She sneered."What are you watching the television for anyways, you're better off in your room."

    "Hailey?" "Mommy!"Celine was with Zion when I entered...or to be exact, pushed in by the good, nerdy doctor.She seemed shocked to see my condition but was happy as well. She hurried towards me.Zion too. They hugged me at the same time, causing a wince to escape me as Celine's embrace was a bit too tight, so was my son's but his hands were still very small and could do no harm or cause much discomfort.Not to say I didn't like Celine hugging me but my body was still covered in bruises. I guessed she heard me wince and pulled back, releasing her hold on me. She took a long examining look at me, her brows furrowing. "What happened to you?""Mommy, I missed you. Who hurt you?" Zion chipped in, his innocent eyes roaming my face. "I'll be fine, baby." I held his both hands, my heart swelling with love for my son. I couldn't tell him exactly what had happened. He was too young to hear such plus he wouldn't even understand all of it. "Who did this to you?" Celine asked, her expressi

    It's been hours since Christian left after receiving that call, but he'd made sure the doctor had left as well before locking me in.I had to find a way to escape but how? I had no phone to make call. I tried to stand on my feet, it was a failed attempt. Frustration, pain and anger clawed viciously at me. I couldn't even walk to get to the door, much less break it to find a way out of the door.The only thing I was capable of doing was sitting on the bed and crying my eyes out. The pain relief drugs that doctor had given me just before he left had helped with the pain some. I heard an activity just outside the door, making me apprehensive. I couldn't tell what was happening but when the door opened few minutes later, it was the doctor.Relief flooded me. A familiar face, the one I hoped to see before I eventually gave up. "Doctor? I stopped hoping you would come a while ago.""I didn't think I'd change my mind too. My conscience and need for not involving myself were at a clash, I t

    PHILIPI watched from across the street as they held hands, my blood boiling. "Imagine the bitch I married! As though selling me out was not enough, she had to get a boy toy!""That's Christian, Denise's ex. Who would have thought that my stepdaughter's ex would end up with your wife? Life's funny." Derek was making a joke out of it and it was irking me.I turned from the wheel to give him a look, he raised his hand in mid-air surrender. "Don't be so uptight, man.""Try telling that to someone whose life is ruined by the devil he married. The police have raided my home and company. They have literally taken over. I can never return to my old life. All the companies I have shares with are busy ratting me out to the cops and pulling me from my shares." There was an angry whine coated in my words. "Well, their reputation is also at stake, Philip. You slept with their wives and girlfriends, they didn't like it but for the sake of their reputation, you were put on board. Now that your sec

    DENISEThese spoilt rich kids knew nothing more than to command and act like they deserved to be pampered and obeyed. Jared might be a hardworking, nice guy but he was nonetheless as spoiled as, his brother, Jerome was.I was doing my best here yet he couldn't even be thankful for it. He was lucky we couldn't yell, else I'd be screaming his ear off! What a crazy, spoilt guy Hailey had to go find her...what the fuck! I legit froze for a minute the moment I saw the person I'd never expected to see before rushing away from view to go hide at a corner. Peeking my head out from behind one of the pillars in the wide restaurant of the hotel, I studied him and the woman he was with.She looked older than him. What was he doing with an older woman? Who was she?My brows quirked in surprise as he lifted her hand, kissing it. Oh my! When did my ex become interested in older women?I couldn't see the woman's face, just her back and if the years of wealth I'd lived in was anything to go by, I

    JARED"Hey." The look of surprise on her face showed she'd thought I'd never want to see her again.And she was right. I never wanted to see her again but if she was the vessel to be used in finding Hailey and helping her get revenge for the destruction of her family's company, then I had to. "Hey." I was sure my expression was unfriendly and stoic."I was not expecting you to call me." She took a seat, facing me at the table of the restaurant of the hotel Denise and me had finally agreed upon.Denise had wanted us to use the restaurant in my own hotel but I'd refused. No extra person had to know about my hotel and I definitely didn't want Mia going there. "I wouldn't have called you if it wasn't important." My response was sharp that it had her blinking, her surprise deepening. I had to play this out better than I was doing. "I'm sorry, I've just been stressed, you know. Trying to get my life back on track."She observed me, then looked around us, her eyes sweeping the area in an o

    "She'll be fine, though the healing process might take a while." The doctor diagnosed, after checking me up medically."H-how long is a while, doctor?" I was the one asking. It was my second day here, the doctor had arrived five minutes ago. I'd watched them exchanged pleasantries all the while hoping the doctor would be kind enough to help me. "Depends. Could be months or a year. Your bones are badly fractured and to repair will take time. Your face also, it'll take time but it will definitely heal. We can facilitate the process by having you do surgery."A year? Months before I could walk again? Tears stung my eyes that I so badly wanted to be left alone to cry my eyes out. Christian stood beside my bed, observing without a word. Saving the tears for later, I willed them back. "Is the surgery reconstructive?""Just know it is nothing that will alter your original facial features, just to fix a few damaged tissues." His tone was reassuring, he had probably seen the fear in my eye

    JARED"What were you saying on the phone earlier?" I questioned as soon as she opened the door of her suite. "Hello to you too." She closed the door and pulled her see-through robe tighter around her, taking slow steps towards me. "What deal did you make with my brother?" I ignored her attempt at making me realize how rude and brash I'd been walking into the suite without a word of greeting.I didn't care about greetings at this point, my head was full and my heart was bothered greatly by Hailey's disappearance. "The deal that will get us what we both desire." She stated casually, walking past me to go get glasses and a bottle of chilled wine on the mini glass refrigerator-shelf "How do you expect us to find evidence of Mia cheating on him?" Frustration and annoyance tinged my tone, not to mention the fear lurking behind for Hailey. It would have been better if she was kidnapped for ransom only purpose, I'd have paid to have her free and by my side. "We find someone, a guy, lure

    UNCLE PETEWe reached the location where Hailey's car was abandoned.There were few spectators curiously miling around to know what had happened to both the owner and the car. One of the brake lights was smashed into a lamp post. The front of her car door was open. Jared stuck his head inside to know if he could find anything useful.His location had led us here and when he finally brought out his head, he was holding a phone. "Her phone. Found it on the floor of the car.""Is it still in good working condition?" I asked. He tapped the screen of the phone, it came on immediately. "Yes, I guess it is." He gave the whole vehicle a thoughtful stare. I could literally see the wheels of thought turning in his head. "She was kidnapped, that much is clear." I said with certainty."Of course she was kidnapped, damn it!" Angrily, my nephew punched the body of the car. "Relax, Jared. All we need to do is involve the police." I reminded him.He gave me a rueful glare. I exhaled, raised my
