Chapter 56

Christian’s expression shifted as he listened to Pitcher’s hushed report. His jaw clenched slightly, though he kept a steady face, especially with Eunice and Olivia watching. Finally, with a short nod, he dismissed Pitcher, who walked off, his frown lingering as he glanced at Olivia.

Christian turned to them, his usual calm restored. “Good timing,” he said with a hint of a smile, reaching down to ruffle Eunice’s hair. “I was just finishing up.”

Eunice beamed, her small hand slipping into his. “We got you a treat, Uncle Christian!” She held up the bakery bag with a proud grin.

Christian’s expression softened, and he accepted the bag with a warm nod. “Thank you, sweetheart.” Then he glanced at Olivia, a glimmer of something deeper in his eyes. “I could use a break, so this is perfect timing.”

As they moved to the lounge area, Christian settled Eunice on the couch with a couple of pastries and a drink, giving her a quiet, engaging task. Once he was sure she was content, he tur

    Chapter 57In the car, Olivia was seated at the back while Eunice slept on her lap while Christian drove. He looked visibly angry, probably because they had to leave the park in a hurry because of Olivia’s quick observation.“I can’t believe they are hiding around just to take a picture of my private time with my family”, he said angrily.“Just calm down, nothing matters as long as Eunice is safe. Besides, you’re a public figure, so I get that they want to take pictures of you, but they should consider cutting it down." Olivia said, caressing Eunice’s head.Christian’s grip on the wheel tightened, his jaw clenching and unclenching with every thought racing through his mind. Olivia could feel the tension coming from him even from her seat in the back, and she knew how much his privacy mattered to him. Since he had taken over Mason Enterprises, the media’s obsession with his every move had only grown, but today they had crossed a line. He wanted Eunice to have a normal day, a rare respi

    Chapter 58The day of the parent-child event at Eunice’s kindergarten had finally come. Christian, Olivia and Eunice woke up earlier than usual to see if everything prepared was perfect. After confirming, Olivia took Eunice to school before going back home to dress up.Olivia adjusted the collar of her blouse in the mirror, silently preparing herself for the role she’d be playing that day.

    Chapter 59The boss sat back on the leather sofa, his fingers crossed as he surveyed the woman before him. A sinister glint shone in his eyes as he let out a chuckle, full of dark satisfaction. “Look here,” he said, his voice dripping with mock sympathy. “I know you’re in a rush for some miracle to happen, but Christian’s on the lookout for any slight mistake. We can’t let him sniff us out—at least not prematurely.”The woman’s eyes narrowed. Her expression was a blend of resentment and desperation. “I don’t want him anywhere near that woman. She’s nothing, yet she’s already wrapped him around her finger. My daughter should be the one standing beside him, as his wife, in that mansion. Not some nobody who—” She cut herself off with a bitter sigh, shaking her head. "Separate them. Do whatever it takes before that woman traps him with a child.”The boss smiled slyly, enjoying the way her frustration simmered just beneath the surface. “I’ll do what I can,” he replied, tilting his head tho

    Chapter 60Christian squinted as he woke up to the first hint of sunlight spilling through the blinds, casting a soft, warm glow over the room. The previous night played back in his mind with an intensity that surprised him. Beside him, Olivia lay sleeping peacefully, her face relaxed, framed by the soft waves of her chestnut brown hair. A calm he hadn’t felt in years settled over him as he watched her. His heart was filled with contentment.For a man who had always lived his life behind walls, allowing very few people to glimpse who he really was, letting Olivia in felt monumental She stirred slightly, and he felt his chest tighten. He’d always thought vulnerability was a weakness, but as he gazed at her, he realised how much strength he drew from her presence.He slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb her, and headed to the kitchen to prepare coffee. The gentle clinking of cups and the warm aroma soon filled the air, and he found himself smiling as he poured two mugs, wondering

That will clear all of your worries at once”, Olivia advised.“That’s it. What if it comes out positive? What do I do? Josh and I just started dating recently”, Ruth rambled on about her worries for minutes.“You know that? What was stopping the two of you from using protection? Or even better post pills?”“I didn’t know what we were thinking. I guess the sex was just too great at some point, so we ditched the protection”.Olivia sighed at Ruth’s response. “You are so...I don’t even know what to say."Ruth sighed in response. “Forget about me. I’ll go to the clinic later. Tell me about Christian and yourself. Have you still not taken your relationship to the next level?”“That’s all you know about in that head of yours. My relationship

    Chapter 62When Christian arrived home that evening, Olivia and Eunice lay on the couch with colouring books and crayons scattered between them. Eunice looked up beaming as he entered.“Uncle Christian!” she called, running to him with outstretched arms.He scooped her up, feeling the warmth of her small arms around his neck. “How’s my little artist?” he asked, glancing at the vibrant doodles on the page.Olivia stood, smiling as she watched them. “We’re just having a quiet evening. I figured you’d want to relax after the day you’ve had.”He reached for her hand, pulling her close. “You have no idea how right you are,” he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.Eunice looked between them, a grin spreading across her face. “Can I show you my drawings, Uncle Christian?”“Of course,” he replied, setting her down and watching as she proudly displayed her creations.Later, after Eunice had gone to bed, he and Olivia lingered on the couch, wrapped in comfortable silence.

    Chapter 63“Olivia, come see this”, Ruth quickly whispered. Olivia shot herself to Ruth’s side. She gasped in shock as soon as she saw the headline. Her heart started to thump in her chest. This headline is really damaging, especially to Christian, since he was at loggerheads with his company’s board members.“Olivia... this is ridiculous. Who would...?” Ruth’s words faded, also knowing full well the damage a headline like this could do to Christian’s reputation, not to mention Olivia’s.Olivia took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. “I don’t know, Ruth. I... I thought this part of my life was behind me.” Her voice trembled, a raw edge breaking through her calm front.Ruth reached across the table, squeezing her friend’s hand. “This isn’t your fault. Don’t let them get to you. What you should be worried about right now is Christian’s reaction to this."Olivia nodded as she took her phone. She needed to talk to Christian, to hear his voice and know he wasn’t as rattled as she

    Chapter 95The city buzzed outside Christian’s office as he paced back and forth, his frustration mounting with every passing moment. The images of the child’s shoe and the signs of activity at the warehouse lingered in his mind, but the security team had turned up nothing more. It was a dead end—a cruel tease that brought them no closer to finding Eunice.He stopped by the window, staring out at the skyline, his reflection staring back at him. His face was worn, lines of exhaustion etched deeply around his eyes. But there was no room for rest. He had promised Olivia he would bring Eunice home, and failure wasn’t an option.The sharp ring of his phone broke his thoughts. He snatched it off the desk. “Josh?”“No updates yet,” Josh said, his voice cautious. “We’ve combed through the warehouse and surrounding areas. Whoever was there cleared out fast.”Christian’s grip on the phone tightened. “And the security footage?”“Nothing useful,” Josh admitted. “They avoided cameras, and any reco

    Chapter 94The late morning sun cast long shadows over Ruth’s apartment as Christian approached the door. His steps were heavy, the weight of recent events bearing down on him. The tension from his last argument with Olivia loomed large, and he braced himself for an icy reception.Ruth answered the door with a sharp glance, her eyebrow arching as if to say, "What do you want?" She leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed.“Christian,” she said, her tone clipped. “Didn’t expect to see you here. Thought you’d be too busy playing lone wolf to come and actually talk to your wife.”Christian inhaled deeply, already regretting his decision to come in person. “I’m here to see Olivia,” he said evenly.“She’s in the living room,” Ruth replied, stepping aside but not before adding, “Try not to ruin her day any further.”Christian clenched his jaw but said nothing, stepping into the cozy apartment. Olivia was seated on the couch, her back straight, hands clasped in her lap. The moment she

    Chapter 93The air in Christian’s study was stifling, the faint smell of leather and old wood doing little to calm his frayed nerves. He paced the room, the phone pressed to his ear.“I can guess you heard about Eunice from your mother, but who told you about Olivia?” Christian demanded, his tone not so cool.“That’s the thing. Why do I know so much about your life?” the caller questioned bitterly. “Don’t play games with me,” Christian retorted.The caller sighed. “I think my mom is involved in the kidnapping of Eunice. I can’t say for sure, but she’s someone who will go miles to get what she wants.”Christian could not believe his ears. He blinked, looking at his screen. “I’m not going to listen to you say rubbish.”“I know,” the caller continued. “I know it’s difficult to believe my mother is capable of something like that, but she is. Haven’t you seen the signs? She always tried to pit you and me together for some sort of marriage alliance, but thankfully your mom never agreed to i

    Chapter 92The morning sun struggled to penetrate the heavy fog that hung over the mansion, inside and out. Christian’s world remained shrouded in uncertainty. His usually clean and sharp demeanour was nowhere to be found. His beard had grown, forming a stubble around his jaw. He stood in the operations room, his jaw set as he scanned the large map pinned to the wall. Pushpins marked locations of interest, each representing a lead that had fizzled into nothing.Josh entered, carrying a stack of papers and his laptop. His face was grim, but his eyes held a spark of determination. “The lead we traced last night,” he began, setting the laptop down. “It’s thin, but it’s something.”Christian crossed his arms, leaning against the desk. “What have you got?”Josh tapped at the keyboard, pulling up an email. “We found another account connected to Elise’s network. It’s tied to a property on the outskirts of the city—an old storage facility. I’ve sent a team to check it out, but—”“Don’t say it

    Chapter 91The house had never felt this still. It wasn’t just quiet—it was suffocating. Christian sat in his study, his hands gripping the edge of his desk as the faint glow of his laptop illuminated the room. It was past midnight, but sleep had become a stranger to him. Each time he closed his eyes, the image of Eunice’s frightened face haunted him.And then there was Olivia.He had replayed their argument in his mind a hundred times, each iteration leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. The anger that had fuelled his words now seemed hollow, replaced by a gnawing ache he couldn’t ignore. He had hurt her—pushed her away when he needed her most.The phone on his desk buzzed, breaking his thoughts. It was a message from Josh: “Team just sent me something. Check your email.”Christian opened the file Josh had forwarded. It was footage from a security camera near the warehouse. A black van had been spotted leaving the area shortly before their team arrived. The license plate was barely vi

    Chapter 90The mansion felt emptier than ever, even with everyone inside. Olivia sat in the dimly lit living room, staring at the untouched cup of tea Ruth had placed before her hours ago. Christian hadn’t spoken to her since they returned from the failed rescue attempt at the warehouse. Not a single word, not even a glance in her direction. His silence was louder than any accusation could have been.From across the room, Ruth watched Olivia carefully. Her brows knit with concern. Josh entered, his laptop tucked under his arm. “Any updates?” Ruth asked softly.Josh shook his head, his expression grim. “No leads." The trail went cold after the warehouse. "I've got a few people digging into Elise’s connections, but...” He hesitated, glancing toward Christian, who stood by the window, his back to everyone.Olivia couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed herself up from the couch and crossed the room to meet him. “Christian,” she began, her voice small but steady. “We need to talk.”He didn’t

Olivia sat on the edge of the couch, her hands twisting the scarf that had now become a cruel reminder of Eunice’s abduction. Ruth hovered nearby, her calming presence a balm Olivia desperately clung to. Meanwhile, Christian and Josh were locked in a flurry of activity, coordinating with law enforcement and private investigators. Every phone call, every lead, seemed to come up short.Olivia’s chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of helplessness. Eunice is out there somewhere. Alone. Frightened. The thought nearly undid her. She forced herself to focus on Christian’s promise. He would move mountains to bring Eunice home. He had to.“We’ve got a lead,” Josh announced, though his tone lacked the confidence she had hoped for. “The car was spotted in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. A team is already on the way.”Olivia bolted to her feet. “I’m coming with you.”Christian’s

    Chapter 88There was a long, tense pause before Christian responded, his voice cold and clipped. “I’m on my way. Stay there and don’t let anyone leave until I get there.” Olivia ended the call, her mind racing. Who had taken Eunice, and how had they known enough to impersonate Christian? As fear churned in her chest, she forced herself to stay calm, knowing she needed to keep her head clear.Olivia quickly dialled Josh’s number, her hands trembling. He picked up almost immediately. “Olivia? What’s wrong?” Josh’s normally laid-back tone was laced with alarm. “Eunice... she’s gone,” Olivia said, barely able to keep her voice steady. “The teacher said someone who looked like me picked her up. Christian’s on his way, but I need you and Ruth to check if she somehow made it home.”“What?!” Josh barked, his disbelief evident. In the background, Olivia heard Ruth asking what was happening. “We’re on it,” Josh said firmly. “Stay calm. We’ll call you back as soon as we check the house.” Olivia

    Chapter 87The sun rose over the Mason mansion, bathing its grand façade in golden light. Christian stood in the kitchen, dressed in a sharp navy suit, scanning through his emails on his phone while sipping his morning coffee. The distant sound of Eunice’s giggles echoed upstairs, followed by Olivia’s cheerful voice coaxing her to finish her breakfast.The excitement of the day was palpable. It was Parents’ Sports Day at Eunice’s school, and the young girl could barely contain her enthusiasm.“Uncle Christian! Olivia!” Eunice’s voice rang out as she bounded into the kitchen. She wore a bright yellow T-shirt with the school logo and black athletic shorts, her hair tied back in a ponytail that swayed as she moved.Christian smiled, setting down his coffee. “Ready for your big day, champ?”“More than ready!” Eunice grinned, clutching a water bottle and a small towel. “Are you coming with us?”Christian crouched to her level and brushed a stray strand of hair from her face. “I’ll drive yo
