On their way home, Kane drove with Enid, while Roark and Amelia drove the new car.At first, Amelia wasn't comfortable being alone with him, and even offered Enid to join them, but the latter blatantly refused."Go, you drive with your man, while I shoot my shot at his hotshot of a driver."Left with no other choice, she followed Roark into the new car.Despite knowing how to wear seatbelt, he insisted on wearing hers for her, and wouldn't stop asking her if she was alright."I'm fine, Roark. Going faster than you are now, wouldn't hurt me, neithee will it cause any harm to the car, if that is what you are bothered about." She told him for the umpteenth, noticing how slowly he drove, while Kane and Enid were ahead of them by a few cars."Driving isn't my favorite thing to do." He told her,"I'd rather---""Spend your time locked in your study, reading, than go anywhere. I know that already." She completed for him, barely looking his way."I love to read. That is a part of who I am."S

The next day, Damien was in his office, when his secretary, Evelyn, called him to inform him that some officers were requesting to see him."Why?" He asked the lady,"They won't say, sir. They've insisted on seeing you even after I told them that you're busy."Damien's forehead creased into a frown,"Okay. Let them in." He told Evelyn, before ending the call.What could they've to tell him that they'd to come to his office?He thought to himself, patiently waiting for them to come into his office.It must be pretty serious.Seconds later, the door of his office opened and two members walked inside.Although they were dressed in mufti, he could tell they were officers. Their demeanor gave them away, especially as one was looking around his furbished office like he was searching for the slightest clue to an ongoing investigation."Good day, sir." He greeted the men, getting up from his seat and offering a handshake to the man in front, whom he suspected to be the superior, based on

After Isabel finished at the precinct, giving her statement to Detective Jonas, who promised her that they would look into the matter, she asked Jarvis to drive them to the hospital."Ms. Hadid, are you not feeling well?" Jarvis asked her from the driver's side, concern written on his face as he looked at her through the rearview mirror, while Fowler was seated quietly beside him."I am, Jarvis.""Then, why are you going to the hospital?" He probed, revving the car's engine to life."My niece is sick and I have to go see her." She told him, looking outside the car."I'm sorry." He mouthed, reversing the car out of the parking lot.Fowler didn't say anything to either of them, until they arrived at their destination, about an hour later."Mr. Jarvis, you should stay here and keep watch, while I and Ms. Hadid and I go inside." He told the man, then turned to Isabel,"How long do we intend to stay, Ms. Hadid?""Just a brief visit, Fowler. Did anything happen?" She asked the woman, who

Sebastian was in a meeting with the Chairman of the Atlas Capitals, when he felt something vibrating in his pocket.It was his phone."Excuse me." He told the man who was speaking, brought out his phone to silence it, only to see it was Fowler calling him.His heart immediately flew into panic mode, thinking about Isabel.Something must've happened, for Fowler to be calling him."I need to take this." He sprang up from his seat, then left the office, leaving the men speechless.Once he was outside the office, he returned Fowler's call, and the woman picked up immediately."Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Bernadotte, but there was an incident at the hospital.""Is Isabel okay?" He questioned promptly,"Did anything happen to her?""No, Mr. Bernadotte. Ms. Hadid is fine, although she's a bit shaken and haven't left her bedroom since we returned home." Fowler relayed to him, and although he was relieved a bit, but the perplexity remained."What happened at the hospital?" He questioned t

Two days later, Sebastian received a call from Detective Jonas, who told him that Damien Giddorti has been bailed from police custody."What do you mean that he has been bailed from your custody, detective? I did not drop the charges against him.""I know you didn't, Mr. Bernadotte, but there was no sustainable evidence to prove that he'd harassed Ms. Hadid, and he claimed that she came to him.""What the fuck are you saying?!" Sebastian flared lividly,"He tried to rape my woman, and you don't believe me! Are you saying that I'm lying?""Mr. Bernadotte, I have interrogated Mr. Giddorti and he still claims that Ms. Hadid had come to him, after he helped her break down the door." The detective explained,"Now, the CCTV retrieved from the crime scene did not prove much to back your accusation, as it had captured Mr. Giddorti breaking the door to help out Ms. Hadid, then captured him standing out there for a while, before entering the restroom." He continued,"I cannot present such mat

Sebastian didn't drive to Shakira's home to confront her, like Zachary expected he would do. Instead, he asked Jarvis to drive him to the manor.When they arrived there, he alight the car then went into the mansion, ignoring Finlay's greetings.He went into his office, closing the door behind him and went immediately to the drawer where he usually packed important files.After about thirty minutes of fervent search, he finally found what he was looking for.He returned to his desk, placing the fileholder on the desk, before he sat down.Then, he took out his phone and made a call to his stock analyst, Mr. Rivera.Mr. Rivera, was speaking in a calm, measured tone, but Sebastian's expression was growing increasingly serious."Sebastian, I understand your concerns about the Valande's group," Mr. Rivera said, "but I have to advise you that liquidating your investment now may not be the best decision. The market is fluctuating, and we could see a rebound in the near future."Sebastian'

That night when Sebastian arrived home, Isabel was in the kitchen. The boys were having dinner and Brittany was nowhere to be found.When Alexander wanted to greet him, he signaled them to keep quiet, so he can surprise Isabel.He went into the kitchen and there she was, wearing his white tee and an overflowing pants standing barefooted in the middle of the kitchen.It was a beautiful and intimate sight, one he didn't mind, coming back to every now and then.Her hair was packed in a messy ponytail, with several prodigal strands hanging around. She was standing in front of the oven, and the aroma of baked muffins filled the kitchen.While she was standing, he tiptoed to behind her, in an attempt to hug her from behind, but she turned unexpectedly, bumping into his chest."Ouch!" Isabel was startled and hurt at the impact, she let out a pained moan, and immediately, he began to apologize to her,"I'm so sorry, Baby Girl." He pecked her forehead, which she'd hit against his ,chin, c

"When did you see this?" Sebastian asked the man, after he'd returned the phone."Mr. Pierre sent me the video about an hour ago. He said he couldn't reach you, so he sent it to me instead.""Someone who knew we were after the man, got to him before we did.""Exactly, sir. Someone got to him before we did. But, we don't know who."Sebastian didn't know what to say as he stared speechlessly at Zachary.He didn't expect that things would take such drastic turn.Fuck!"What do we do now, sir?" Zachary asked the man,"We cannot let whoever it is responsible for this, to go scot free."Sebastian took a deep breath, staring at his phone."I know, Zach, but I feel like whoever it is, is our every move.""My exact thoughts too, sir." Zachary seconded the man's opinion,watching"And he knew what was at stake for him if we'd found the man before he did.""For now, we do nothing." Sebastian told Zachary."He is going to be watching our every move now, waiting for us to do something or react

Isabel was discharged from the hospital later that day, and was driven home by Austin.The drive from the hospital which was in Seattle, to Colby took about an hour, which to Isabel, it was the longest one hour of her life, and was plagued with different thoughts.The car glided smoothly along the deserted highway, the only sound being the soft hum of the engine and the occasional tick of the turn signal. Austin's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his expression neutral, while Isabel sat beside him, her face a mask of turmoil.Her eyes stared blankly out the window, her mind reeling with the news they had received from the doctor.The doctor's words echoed in her mind like a cruel joke.How come? When? Why?Isabel was confused, wishing this would all be a nightmare that she can be woken up from. She didn't want to believe the news, but the doctor had showed her evidence. It was indeed true.But, why is this happening to her?She was careful and took her pills religiously, except

Several days past, and Isabel was still struggling to get used to living without her son. There were some mornings she rose very early, fretting about what breakfast to make him, only to be reminded of his absence, by the cold silence coming from his bedroom.One afternoon, she left the cafe and drove down to his former school, only to remember that he was no longer schooling there, when she was almost at the schoolThat day, she cried.She cried so hard, she began to feel lightheaded and nauseous, yet the tears wouldn't stop falling.Her whole body was quivering as if someone had ran her an ice bath on a snowy day, sobs and sniffles escaping from her trembling lips.Isabel had never felt so frazzled like she did that day.After crying herself to stupor for over an hour, she managed to calm her frayed nerves and she drove herself home.She'd wanted to call Austin or one of her employees to come drive her home, but she didn't want them to meet her in that condition, and certainly didn

Despite Austin's subtle objection, Isabel accepted the package sent from the delivery guy, and she carried it into the house, but did not open it.She dropped it on the dining table and left without sparing it a second glance."I don't understand why you won't let me deal with the bastard." Austin was still fuming,"He needs to be taught a lesson, after everything he has done.""Austin, I don't want you to get involved in a rivalry with Sebastian. It is not worth it." She advised him,"Sebastian is the worst person you'd want to get into a feud with, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt because of me.""I am not scared of him, Isabel and you shouldn't be. That bastard wronged you, and he took your son away from him, I don't see why you should be afraid of him." He admonished her,"You've to fight for yourself and for Reynolds. You've got to fight to get your son back. Stand up to that bully.""I can't!" She screamed at him, her voice raised to a crescendo,"Don't you understand tha

Sebastian stood in the hallway, his eyes fixed on the closed bedroom door, Reynolds was knocking against, his mind reeling with regret and guilt. He felt like he'd been punched in the gut, his breath knocked out of him.He thought about the look on Isabel's face, the shock, the anger, the hurt. He knew he'd broken her trust, shattered the foundation of their relationship. He couldn't blame her that she hated him, and if she chose to leave him, he deserved worst.Reynolds stopped knocking and turned to him,"Daddy, she won't open the door." The boy inveighed,"What did you do to her?"His eyes dropped to the floor, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his guilt. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of regret, unable to keep his head above water.He wished he could bring himself to tell his sons the truth, but they would hate him even more than Isabel does now. They would despise him, knowing he was the cause of their mother's loss and misery.And once his whole family

Before Sebastian could say anything else, she ended the call, clenching her fist tightly.Isabel was having the strong urge to haul her phone against the wall, but she restrained herself, knowing the damage it will cause the phone, which was purchased barely three days ago.She burst out of her closet, slamming the door behind her. She strode across her bedroom, her feet pounding the floor in frustration. She felt like she was going to explode, her emotions boiling over like a pot left unattended on the stove.She flung open her bedroom door and stormed out into the hallway, not sure where she was going, but knowing she needed to get out of there. In fact, she didn't want to see Sebastian even if he teleported himself home right that moment.That was how mad she was at him.She paced down the hall, her hands clenched into fists, her mind racing with thoughts and feelings she couldn't process.She was livid, but the rest emotions she couldn't process accurately.How dare that bit

Later that day, Isabel was on the phone with her employees from the cafeteria, when a knock came on the door."Excuse me, Sarah." She told the girl, then told whoever it was at the door to come inside.The door opened to she was surprised to see the Oliver and Alexander march into the bedroom, glum look on their faces."Sarah, can we have this conversation later? I need to attend to something very important.""Okay, ma'am. I will forwards the inventories to you now.""Thanks, dear. Send my regards to everyone.""I will, and my regards to Reynolds and your father. He should get well soon."Isabel muttered an inaudibly reply to the lady, before ending the call, then she moved her attention to the boys who were approaching her.Her first concern was their unhappy faces, which she pointed out immediately."Why the unhappy faces, boys? Did anything happen? And where is your younger brother?"Oliver was first to speak up,"Reynolds is in the bedroom, trying to solve some mathematical equati

The day of the hearing finally came and Sebastian was ready.He'd Miranda, his secretary postpone every appointment he'd during the time of the hearing. He was determined to be there, since the man's sentence also meant justifying Isabel and all the women he'd sexually assaulted.Surprisingly, the courtroom was almost filled, and there were plenty of reporters scattered everywhere.Being one of the hotshots in the city, with lots of recognition, everyone was hungry for firsthand information about the judge's verdict on Damien Giddorti's case, since he'd pled not-guilty to the charges against him.Wearing a turquoise shirt which was nicely tucked into a pair of gray golf pants, and a black sunshade to cover his eyes, Sebastian blended into the croud, taking a seat on the fourth to last row. He didn't want to be recognized by the press, and have them shove their microphones and cameras in his face, asking him questions he'd no intentions of answering.With his choice of dressing, he was

Two days later, Shakira was still on the run. Sebastian had his men scattered all over the city, in search for her, but they was no sign of her. Even when he tried to use her father to bait her, yet she did not show up."How disappointing that your only daughter would rather have you suffering, than turn herself in." He spat disappointedly, looking at the man and his wife."Chester, you should be shameful of the kind of child you've raised. One who'd rather watch you die, than take responsibility for her doings."The man did not say anything, neither did his wife.Of course, they were disappointed that their daughter, whom they've raised properly would be capable of kidnapping a child and hiding the child under the roof, making them look like accomplice to the crime.Who wouldn't?Chester knew that had the girl not been his only child, he would've allowed her bear the brunt of her actions, without any hesitation. However, those admonitions were reserved for later. Now, he was proud
