Chapter 94

The 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 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.

He snatched it off the desk. “Josh?”“No updates yet,” Josh said, his voice cautious. “We’ve combed through the warehouse and surrounding areas.

    "Can we confirm that these are indeed the bodies of Matthew and Rosemary Mason?" the morgue attendant inquired of the young man standing before him. "Yes," the young man affirmed with a heavy heart. "Mr. Mason," another man called out as he entered the room. "There’s a social worker outside. She's here regarding Eunice."The young man hurriedly exited to meet the social worker. "Good afternoon. I’m Izzy Parker, the social worker assigned to Miss Eunice Mason," she introduced herself."Good morning. I’m Christian Mason, Eunice’s uncle," he replied tersely. "The family records indicate that you are Eunice's sole remaining relative. I just needed to confirm this with you," the social worker stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "Yes, that's correct. But where is Eunice?" Christian inquired urgently."I will be bringing Eunice on the day of the funeral, once you have set a date," she assured him."The funeral will take place in two days. Will I be able to see her then?" Christian pressed. "Yes,

    “Mr. Mason, you came in to work today? You should have just stayed at home, at least until after the funeral”, one of the members of the executives stated as soon as he saw Christian enter the conference room.“Our share prices are dropping fast. Something needs to be done as soon as possible. If you were competent in your jobs, you would have found a way to at least stop the drop for now”, Christian said grimly as he got into his regular seat.Christian quickly discussed measures that would help the share prices hold up for the moment before leaving the company to go be with his niece at home. “Close the company for the rest of the week," he announced before leaving the company.————————————————————————————————————————————————-Olivia stood outside Mason’s mansion, her heartbeat increasing with every step she took. “This is a fresh start, a chance to leave the past behind and begin a new life”, she said trying to fill herself with determination before she went on to ring the bell.S

    Before leaving the kitchen, he turned to her and said, “If you need anything, I’ll be in my office and tell me or John if she has any issues at all.” Naturally, Olivia answered. Olivia couldn’t get rid of the impression that Christian was more than just the aloof, cold façade he put on when he departed. She had caught a glimpse of a deep pool of feelings that he kept tightly bottled up, a vulnerability. It left her wondering about the true nature of the man behind the surface. She silently made it her new mission to bring uncle and niece closer to each other.In the evening, Olivia helped Eunice get to bed. The little girl moved slowly, had a pale complexion, and appeared exhausted. After pulling the blanket up to her chin, Olivia tucked her into the bed. Olivia muttered, “Goodnight, Eunice,” as she brushed a lock of hair off the girl’s forehead.Eunice’s eyes were wide open, looking at Olivia before quietly saying, “My mom used to kiss me on my forehead before bed." Olivia did not ha

    A stifling silence fell over the room as the seriousness of Eunice’s words sank in. Christian’s face was filled with concern. His face darted between Olivia and Eunice. Olivia’s heart pounded in her chest, indicating fear running through her body.“Eunice, honey, are you sure about this?” Olivia asked gently, trying to keep her voice steady. Eunice nodded, her eyes looking into Olivia’s with fear. “I saw someone, Olivia. They were tall.”Christian’s expression turned serious. “We need to get to the bottom of this. Olivia, can you take Eunice to her room while I check security footage? “Sure thing, Mr. Mason”, Olivia nodded as she held Eunice. As they walked to Eunice’s room, Olivia turned to Olivia trying to reassure her, “Don’t worry, sweetie, we’ll find out who it was”.Eunice looked up to Olivia with her big eyes, “Do you think it was a ghost?” Olivia chuckled, “Well, I don’t think ghosts can open doors, but we’ll make sure to check for ghosts too, okay?”Meanwhile, Christian was

    The arrival of Josh seemed to have brought a burst of energy into the gloomy mansion, that even Eunice’s face lit up so much. Christian’s cold face also had a small smile as he hugged Josh.“Hey, Josh. What brings you here?" Christian asked, his tone neutral.“I came here to see my baby girl. I also heard she now had a live-in nanny. "Good job," Josh answered in a somewhat playful manner.“This is my live-in nanny, Olivia. Olivia, this is Josh, Matthew’s best friend”, Christian introduced them to each other. Olivia noticed Josh’s sad expression as soon as Matthew was mentioned.“Hi. Nice to meet you," Olivia greeted. Josh quickly recovered his expression as he smiled at Olivia. “Oh, you’re very pretty!”“Thank you”, Olivia's cheeks turned bright red after his sudden compliment.The way you look, I don't think you're nosy like he said you were. Olivia glanced at Christian who was looking away inadvertently when she heard Josh's words.Josh’s arrival removed their attention from the sec

    CHAPTER 6Josh looked around before smiling at Christian who was already standing in front of him. “I was patting Matthew. Just wanted to see if I’d feel his presence, but it looks like he’s not around."Christian turned to look at his brother’s grave, before putting on a sad smile.“You know, I keep regretting rejecting his offer to go to Ireland with me. He said he wanted to help out”, Josh said as his teary eyes looked at Christian pitifully. “I told him to stay back and let me manage my company matters by myself for once”.At this point, Josh had already burst into tears. Christian also could not hold on, so he pulled him for a hug as they both shed tears together.The two men returned to the mansion around lunch time. Olivia was in the dining room, feeding some chicken nuggets to Eunice.“Do you like them?" Olivia asked Eunice, who was happily nibbling on her chicken nuggets. “Yes, Olivia."Christian and Josh entered the dining room to find Eunice and Olivia eating their nuggets.

    CHAPTER 7Unknown to Josh and Olivia, Christian saw them together. He looked at them and sighed before returning to his room.“Let’s go to the dining room to discuss this”, Josh said as he headed downstairs, Olivia following closely behind.“So, what’s the plan?" Olivia asked impatiently as they sat opposite each other."See..." Josh began. “Christian may seem like he’s unbearable to be around, but he is very cute and he adores his older brother very much. He used to love going to these relaxing events—like taking his brother on picnics, amusement parks, art museums and things he deemed to be fun”.He smiled before continuing, “So, I was thinking if we could get him to do that again, but with Eunice”.Olivia nodded in agreement with the idea. “That sounds like a plan. But Christian is not really friendly, I fear. How do we convince him?”Josh smiled, his face showing some mischief. “Have you forgotten that I’m here? Leave it to me. I’ll get him on board anyhow.

    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

    Chapter 89Olivia and Ruth were pacing around in the in the stifling atmosphere. 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
