Jacob wasn’t surprised when the policemen came to their house and looked for his daughter. He joined them to give a statement. When he found out who the lawyer of the unknown husband of his captive woman was, his head suddenly hurt. Only the driver and the woman’s lawyer were there to face everyone. Jacob can’t tell them that his daughter is missing or show the message he received from an unknown person. If the opponent can use a connection, he can do it too. “I’ll make sure your daughter’s name won’t be implicated in the case when you trade cards with me.” Jacob re-read the last message from the person he didn’t recognize.Cloud smiled as he waited for Jacob’s decision. He was still at the precinct to hear their side.Jacob looked at the woman in handcuffs before speaking. “I don’t know that girl. She is not my daughter’s friend either so what she said is not true.” “As long as your daughter doesn’t show up, she’s still one of the prime suspects, sir,” Cloud reminded the gentleman
Jacob had prepared earlier and wanted to advance the enemy to their agreed place. The area is clean and the staff with them have nowhere to hide. It’s also far from houses and the surrounding area is grassy but not that dense. Shaina was almost deafened by the pounding of her chest when the man blindfolded her. “Where are you going to take me?” “Don’t ask too many questions. Go ahead and you’re going to face San Pedro later.”Shaina cried because of fear. If the guy said is as a joke, it’s not funny. When the man pushed her, she sobbed and whispered her husband’s name.“Zoom in,” Travis ordered when he spotted a group of men heading toward the center. They have planted a camera in the area and it will not be immediately noticed. Travis clenched his fists when he saw that his wife’s eyes were blindfolded. He could feel that she was afraid. It was not mentioned in their agreement that they should blindfold his wife, so he got angry. He immediately took the cellphone from Cyrus and sp
“You have to go back abroad.” “No, Daddy! I won’t give up on Travis this time!” Cheska was crying stubbornly to what her father wanted to happen. “Daughter, just listen to your daddy, it’s for you and your son’s good,” the mother begged Cheska. Cheska stubbornly shook her head and refused to follow her parents. She got wild because her father didn’t let her go out and see Travis. She did not believe that the young man had abducted her. She also blames her father because she got involved in a case because of him. She had a different plan with Shaina then, but her father intervened. At the old mansion, Joshua and his mother fight again. They heard that Jacob had failed.“What if your brother finds out that you are an accomplice with Jacob?” Martha angrily asked her son. Joshua lit a cigarette again and did not bother to hide it from his mother. He needed to calm himself down and these last few days he seemed to be getting nervous. “What’s that?” Martha tried to grab her son’s hand
“Sir, there is a problem in the warehouse and you need to go there.” Jacob violently washed his face with his empty palm out of frustration. The problem with his daughter is not over yet, then here comes a new one again. “Alex is on the other line, sir.” Jacob quickly took the cellphone from the staff and answered Alex’s call. He is his right hand and tonight they will bring out some drugs to take it to the dealers. “What’s the matter?”“Sir, I did an inventory and we will have a shortage of supplies later.”“How did that happen? I even had you double check our stock before accepting a buyer.”“I don’t know either, sir. We’re going to be in trouble tonight if this isn’t fixed.”Annoyed, Jacob stood up and decided to go to the warehouse. Tomorrow, he will hand over his daughter to the police to clear her name. When Jacob arrived at the warehouse, he was surprised to see that there was someone on the list that he did not recognize. So they have a problem with the quantity because som
Thirteen Years Later“Arriana, Trisha, hurry up and we might be late!” Shaina called the two girls. “Hey, don’t stress yourself.” Travis hugged his wife from behind. Shaina calmed down when she felt her husband’s arms around her. She smiled as his palm caressed her large belly. Yes, after fifteen years, she got pregnant again and it was a miracle. She thought that she was about to get menopaused because Trisha is now a teenager before she got pregnant again with their 4th baby, even though she and Travis wanted a new baby for a long time. The couple turned at the same time when they heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Trisha went down first. At the age of twelve, she looks like a lady. Tall and has a slender body. But her complexion was obtained from Shaina which was like a milk in whiteness. Arriana is also has a flawless skin and she looks like a model.Shaina smiled when she observed Arriana. She is now wearing only a simple t-shirt and pants. And she turns eighteen by next
“Brother, is it true that you will be studying here for the second semester?” Arriana happily asked her brother. Adrian put down the book he was reading before facing his twin sister. “Mommy will give birth in just a few months. And you and Trisha are already growing up.”Arriana was left speechless, she wanted her brother to be in the country, of course. But when he was reminded her of their age, she seemed to have second thoughts now. If their father is strict, their brother is twice as strict. Yes, and no one knows that they are the children of a billionaire. But someone still sends and picks them up using an old car. Adrian himself wanted them not to be known in public as the son of a big company owner in the country for their welfare and safety. They have pictures from some events but those are blurry. Plus, their father blocks the media to spread the news about their family. They are also rarely included in events. When they were little, they were often almost kidnapped becaus
ADRIAN could freely observe the woman who was talking to his cousin, Tristan. He was now in the parking area of the building where the girl was studying. He didn’t know how the two became close. He’s been gone for just over two years and it looks like there’s been a big change in the woman he’s destined to marry. Adrian leaned his back against the back of the seat. He remembered why he agreed to his father’s foolishness— two years ago. “I am old and you are my only son.” “But I don’t plan on getting married early, Dad!”“Granchild is all I need. You can break up after two years if there is no love between the two of you.”Adrian thought, with his father’s attitude, he knew he would still find a way even if he didn’t agree. “What’s in return?” he replied instead.A beautiful smile formed on his father’s lips before answering, “I will let you take whatever course you want and you can do whatever you want to do in your life, as long as what you do does not damage our name.” “In that c
“Are you ready?” asked Ben to his adopted young girl. Travis’ family will come today to formally discuss other details about their children’s arranged marriage. Sunshine smiled sparingly at her father and nodded. The truth is that she does not know how to deal with the Chairman’s young son. Apart from the fact that she is several months older than Adrian, the aura of his personality is also intimidating. She is ashamed to be part of his family and shrinks at herself. “Be humble and be true to yourself, daughter. Adrian seems grumpy and domineering. But he is kind and loving, just exactly like his father.” Ben stroked the girl’s hair. It’s been six years since Sunshine is being in his guardiancy.Sunshine’s real mother was sick then so she was forced to leave her at Teddy’s family. But the wife of his friend who has passed away could not accept the kid. After all, because he also wanted to have a child, he adopted her.“Dad, how about Jessica?” Ben sighed, Jessica is Teddy’s daughte
