It was tiring of working under my father. He was running on my nerves all the time and being a pain in my ass. He had to micromanage everything, and he always prances around and barges in my office like he doesn’t have his own work to do. As if that wasn’t enough, he was in my house so early in the morning, pissing me off further with his unannounced visit.
“I’m going to be away for a couple of days, which means you will have to take over some of my work. I'm sure you will be able to handle that.”
“Are you asking or telling me?” I responded with furrowed brows.
“Telling.” He deadpanned.
Calm down, Nick. He will leave soon. No need for exchange of words. Just picture him and the punching bag when he leaves. I repeated over and over in my

Kioni I lost something ten years ago. I remember the bracelet. It has to do with why Adam broke in. I was having flashes and they were clear. Adam was on the floor bloody from a gunshot wound. He told me to run but not before he told me the bracelet had our legacy. Something important. He lied to you and you need to run. Trust no one, only Sebastian. Find him, he will explain. They did this to us and the bracelet has the proof you need to fight. It’s up to you to make them pay, sis. I love you Kiki. Adam’s words were loud in my head and clear. They were like a chorus in my head sounding louder and louder.

Kioni After crying for what seemed like ages I finally composed myself and explained the recent memory to my foster parents and they listened. All these years I thought I was abandoned but my parents were murdered and Adam survived. I had no idea what happened to him but I understood. The look on his face the night we met a couple of weeks ago. All this time he was looking out for me from afar. It all makes sense now. Trust no one. Run. “I think I need to go away for a while,” I spoke. “Away?” My mother was the first to speak, her voice hesitant. “I don’t think it’s a good idea sweetheart. You just remembered a huge fraction of your life and it’s now exactly wise to be on your own now.” Trust no one. “I understand but this is something I need to do.” “What about work?” she asked looking at me, “What about us?” Only Sebastian. “This is more important than work, mom,” I added. “For how long?” she questioned. Trust no one. “I don’t know,” I replied, staring at the floor. “She

Kioni I was running out of options and I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid and clueless as to where I should go. I can’t trust anyone anymore and I was beginning to regret telling my foster parents about my memory. It pained me to say foster but the memory of my biological parents being dead hurt more. I couldn’t remember them, but they were dead. They had been dead all along and this explains why no one came for me. I considered going to the police, but I was scared. I didn’t know what to think anymore. My head was beginning to pound and feel heavy. I was exhausting myself trying to think of a plan. I needed my brother now more than ever. I was back at my apartment busy packing. I had no idea where I was going. I have been tense and on edge. There was a ping on my phone. Jam

James I would have loved to go out of my way and look for her, but it was her choice to leave. Her father told me she remembered something, and she needed time on her own to figure things out. He wouldn’t tell me a lot which was not going to help me. She was gone and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to give up and give her space, but I couldn’t. I had a feeling she needed me. I could help if she asked. It hurt that she didn’t trust me enough. I just found out I’m in love with her and I can’t lose her after only finding her. I was going to make everything about her my business too. The only thing I can do now is to find her case file and start my investigations. Hopefully, I will find something useful, so I started the engine and made my way to the station. There was no point in me looking sharp anymore as I pulled the tie from my co

Razor It was a close call, but I managed to get the painting from Nick’s grasp. If one of his men had managed to get the painting the boss was not going to be happy. I have seen the length of his wrath far too many times to risk double-crossing him. I used to work for Frank, but he found out I covered for my brother Jay after he hit a school kid and drove off. I had lied and became his alibi, but he found out and made me betray my old boss. He never deserved my betrayal after everything he had done for me, but I had no choice. He tied my hands. With both Jay and I in prison, there would be no one to take care of my family. I was expecting a child at the time and I couldn’t leave them. I know what I did and have accepted an

James The night is going to be very long. I was back at home trying to arrange everything for my board. I had retrieved my old sketchbook from the basement and printed her case file. I still couldn’t believe that it was her and I didn’t see it sooner. I tried to look for her, but she had disappeared and all this time she had been in the same city as me. I should have done a better job of looking and now I was not going to let her disappear on me again. She has been the reason I couldn’t commit to a girl because I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I guess it's true people do fall in love at first sight. I looked on the bed where the bracelet was and observed it again. The flashback of that night came back in my head again. She bumped into me and she had been running for a long time by the way she was breathing. She looked back be

James “What is up with you today?” “Nothing,” I responded. I was tapping my feet while staring at my phone. I was waiting for a call from Ivy from forensics. I had asked her to check the bracelet, maybe something will come out of the search. I checked the time again. What was taking Ivy so long? “Pega?” “I’m fine Nigel,” I responded with a sigh. “What was the last thing I said then?” he spoke. “You asked me how I was?” I responded. “No. That’s not what I asked. Now, what is up with you?” he inquired. “Nothing,” I answered looking at my phone.

Adam Everything I have been doing would have been better if I wasn’t doing it all in hiding. I feel I have been doing all of this all wrong from the beginning. I can’t fight alone, it was time I reached out to my sister. I broke into her foster’s house looking for the bracelet but couldn’t find it. Razor and Jay even tried to trap me into thinking I had found Sebastian. I’m not a fool and my father taught me better. I will not be blindsided by their schemes anymore. These years in hiding taught me better. I took the risky move and made my way to Kioni’s apartment making sure to keep my eyes peeled. My heart was beating out of my chest harder than I expected. I was beginning to wonder why I didn’t do this sooner because it felt right. “Hi there,” I said looking behind me. Everything seemed good so far. “I’m wondering if you can help me

KioniTrue happiness is what I felt. We were sitting having breakfast before the guys left the table, one after the other. It was all so weird. I looked around the table and everyone seemed to be oblivious. I wanted to go check what was happening outside, but the girls stopped me and began having a conversation about what we had for our dinner last night.“I should get the recipe and make this for Wayne.”“I’m not a skilled cook, but I loved the sauce.” Dani added.“That meat was so tender.” Gaby smiled.“Mhh, it was melting in my mouth.” Faith chided.“Faith ate for two.” Harper laughed&ldq

HarperA few months later,I had made some progress and was ready for this holiday. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. I looked at my suitcases and gleefully smiled.“Harper!”“Coming,” I shouted. I ran down the stairs. “What?” I scoffed.Sam has been my bodyguard. This was not by choice. It was annoying. I preferred the other guard, though I don’t remember his name. He never talked much. Unlike Sam, who takes every chance to speak.“You have a visitor,” he said. “Make it quick. We have to leave soon. I’m not getting in trouble because of you.”“

AdamWith my injured leg and James’ injured shoulder, we almost struggled to keep Harper steady. Her strength was almost impossible to rear.“Thank you.” James said with a sigh.“Don’t mention it.”“It’s over.”“Yeah, it is,” I said, looking at the car where Nick was.“I should go with her to the hospital.”“I’m right behind you.” I nodded.James and my sister left with Harper in the same ambulance. Sebastian, Morgan and Gaby had also gone ahead. We were all being taken to Dawson Hospital

SebastianLesson learnt. Nick was just as canny as his father. He kept surprising me. He had an army. Over twenty men, I'm sure. He knew we were coming. He was prepared. I didn’t do enough to catch him. I should have followed the money theory harder. If I was aware of how vigorous he was, things would have been different. We wouldn’t be in this situation. Nick was worse than his father.“You two stay here. Help is almost here. I have to get in there.”“Don’t get killed,” Adam said.“Be careful,” Nigel said.I gave them both a nod and moved. I was a little rusty, but I prayed I could manage. I ran inside, dodging all the bullets. Before I got in, I saw him ducking his head. Nigel had my back.

NickHiring people to take Kioni to the mansion was a plan in the works for a long time. All the months of planning and watching from afar were necessary. I was going to take Kioni either way. She belonged to me. They all underestimated me. Underestimating the love I felt for her. She was mine, and I was going to make it crystal clear.Everything was set. I was prepared for a fight. One of two things was going to happen. Kioni was going to come to me or I was going to go take her. No army of guards was going to stop me because I had an army of my own. An army I spent a lot of money on and they were the best.Charles taught me one thing that stuck with me. Being resourceful and passionate enough to grasp the moment. My moment was now staring at me. They really made it easy for me. We were going to get married. She looked stunning in that

HarperThey always sideline me. As much as they were, I was involved in this as well. I would be devastated if something happened to Kioni or Gaby. I was actually devastated. That’s why when they were leaving, I followed them.I jumped into Morgan’s car with the bodyguard. He didn’t even know his boss had left with the others when I told him to drive. We were not really seeing eye to eye because the drive started off in an argument.“You know you are going to get me in trouble,” he eyed me with the corner of his eye.“I don’t care. Just drive.” I yelled.“I don’t even know where they went.” he yelled back.“They must have driven pa

KioniMy head hung low from a chair. I opened my eyes and looked around. My hands were chained to a chair. I sat straight and looked around.“Gaby!” I shouted. She was lying on the floor. “Gaby. Wake up.”“You are awake,” Nick emerged from behind me. “How do I look?”“What are you doing?” I asked him, “What did you do to her?”“Come on, Kiki,” he laughed, “This is what we always wanted.”“I don't want this.” I creased my face in disgust. “I know everything you did to me.”“I did nothing you didn’t want.” he walked a

MorganMy phone was ringing, but it was not on the nightstand. It was ringing somewhere on the floor close to the door; I think. My head was pounding like crazy. Someone shaking me made me open my eyes. I blinked a couple of times, hoping the room would stop spinning.I stumbled off the bed and looked around. There were two women in my bed and one on the floor. I did not know what was going on. The ringing was so loud. All I wanted was to go back to bed. Sleep off the dizzy.“Make it stop.” the woman on the floor stirred.I moved to find my phone. I had no idea what the hell was happening. When I got my phone, I almost threw it on the floor. I wanted to hurl. I scrunched and answered the call.

SebastianThe shouting inside was hurting my ears even as I stood outside smoking. I don’t even know how they all ended up shouting like that. They have all drifted, of course, from the actual issue.Morgan’s idea made sense. Nick would do anything to get to Kioni. All this time we had focussed on that factor. We had her protected at all times that it was difficult for him to try something. That’s why he easily spotted the weaker spot.Harper.How many weak spots could he see? I drew a big puff and stared at nothing. I wish I could drown all the noise. Prison was usually peaceful at this time of the night. Their annoying fighting was actually making me miss the serenity.“I thought you had gone home,” I to
