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

Kioni “Wow, when did Rosalyn have time to make this?” I asked as I sat down. “I did ask her to make something special.” Nick smiled. “She is a miracle worker. This smells divine,” I let the aroma in. I’m surprised Rosalyn had time to make a casserole considering the amount of time I bumped into her when I was exploring the house. Nick must have asked her to make sure I got anything I needed because she kept me well fed and hydrated all afternoon. I’m not sure I have space to have dinner, but it smelled and looked devine. “How was your day,” Nick asked, plating his food. “It was good. I’m surprised I slept throughout the morning.” I responded as I added the salad to my plate.

Kioni I felt strange when my eyes opened. I couldn’t remember how I got here. The room was different and It wasn’t my bed. I looked around and noticed I was alone and I had my nightgown on and when I got out of bed I noticed my suitcase. I must be in a hotel room, I thought but how did I get here? I took a step back as I felt my head spin a little. I moved back and sat on the bed massaging my head trying to think. I looked around and saw my pills and a glass of water and moved to take one or two. They always made the pain go away and I needed to find my bearings and calm down before I figured out where I was. I was about to take some before I heard a knock on the door. “Just a second,” I responded. I moved to my suitcase looking for my gown. I quickly went through my clothes and pulled th

Harper One month later, I have never seen my brother this miserable and closed off. Even when our parents died he at least made an effort but ever since she disappeared he has been running like a motor and his fuel was about to run out soon. He looked rough, sad, and grumpy most of the time. He even had a gruff beard that made him look older than his age. It kind of made him look like dad if only he took the time to maintain the look. He looked like a defeated soul and I missed the old James. “James?” I knocked on his room. Silence. I waited before I knocked again this time a little harder. Silence. “James. I’m coming in with my eyes closed,” I spoke but there was no response. I didn’t hear him come in last night and he had left early for work that Conrad had to fetch me in the morning. I came back early today and left for my date and when I texted him about my plans he responded with just an ‘okay’. I was getting a little worried because usually when I go out, he demands I come ba

James I have been having the worst days. I go to work and ever since we closed the emoji girl case every other case has been a blur from there. It’s frustrating because work has been going smoothly but my personal dilemma has been futile. It’s been a month and nothing I have been doing has been working. Everything has been reaching a dead-end which made everything clear. It was too clean. It made it easier for me to focus more so that I managed to notice that I was being followed. I will never forget that face. He was the man with the suit, and he was the one with a phone on his ear. I don’t know how long he has been following me, but I noticed him last week. I must give him credit because I caught a glimpse of him last week but thought nothing of it before I saw him again yesterday when I was looking for a car for Harper. From then I became alert and I decided to lay a trap of my own. I still have less information and in need of proof, but I have managed to find my motive. Frank Tu

Nick I couldn’t believe I had managed to pull this off and have her all to myself. I enjoyed watching her sleep. This was my new favorite thing every day I crouched on my elbows as I was lost in her beauty. I wouldn’t have thought that I would have her in my bed like this. I smiled as she stirred. “You are being a creep again” she smiled. “You love it,” I smirked. “No.” she turned away from me, “It’s creepy. Stop it,” she hugged the covers. “It’s your fault,” I moved up, turning her, making her open her eyes. “Nick,” she looked at me with a warning, “Just because you are up doesn’t mean I have to be as well,” she yawned trying to push me off her. “Do you know what time it is?” I looked at her. “Too early,” she whined with a groan, “Get off me,” she squirmed underneath me. “It’s almost 10, baby,” I laughed. “Ten?” she shouted, “You should have been at work hours ago,” she spoke trying to push me off and I laughed. “Ki, baby, relax. Being a boss means I get to do what I want,”

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
