"Hey, you're back," Bella said, welcoming James with a warm smile as he walked through the door. "How was work?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."Not very good," James replied, trying to adjust his tie as he gave her a brief kiss on the cheek. "I got you something," he said, his eyes lighting up with excitement, "why don't you close your eyes while I unveil it."Bella's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she closed her eyes, her hands clasped together in front of her. James brought out a little box, his fingers fumbling with the lid as he tried to open it, and then he brought out a beautiful necklace, the chain glinting in the light.As he fixed the necklace around her neck, Bella couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and joy. She opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on the necklace, her eyes widening in admiration.“Oh my God, it's so beautiful, I love, love, love it" she exclaimed, her fingers reaching up to touch the pendant."I'm glad you like it," James said, s

"Good morning, babe," James said, as he walked into the bedroom, already dressed in his suit and tie. "Why are you dressed so early?" She asked as she was just waking up, rubbing sleep off her eyes. She looked at him with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, trying to understand why he was up and ready so early."I have lots of clients to attend to and a couple of meetings to attend," James replied, as he walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. "I made you something special to eat," he added, holding out a tray with a delicious-looking breakfast. Her eyes widened in surprise and appreciation, smiling at him."Thanks," she said, as she took the tray from him and began to eat. James leaned over and kissed her on the forehead."Do you have any plans for today?" Bella thought for a while before answering, and James could see the wheels turning in her mind as she tried to decide what to say."I have an interview today," she said finally, looking up at him with a mixture of excite

"What is going on?" He turned to Mia and asked, "What are you doing here?" His voice was firm and commanding, but Mia could see the hint of uncertainty in his eyes. She smiled to herself, knowing that she had caught him off guard."Can we talk? I came because of you," Mia said, her voice calm and collected. "I'm here to talk to you about Bella." He made a signal for his team to excuse them, his expression changed, and he looked at Mia with a mixture of anger and defensiveness. "What about Bella?" he asked, his voice rising.Mia took a step closer to James, her eyes locked on his. "I know what you've been doing to her, James," she said, her voice firm. "I know how you've been treating her, and I'm not going to stand for it." James's face reddened with anger, and he took a step back, his eyes flashing with fury."What are you talking about, Miss?" he asked, his voice low and menacing. "I don't know what you're insinuating, but I can tell you that it's not true." Mia laughed a cold and

James stood, looking all confused, and didn't know what to do. Mia noticed and asked, "Who was that?" “I don't know, someone just called, saying he has Bella. I think she has been kidnapped,” he explained.“Oh my Goodness! How, where, when? This can't be happening; we had a conversation this morning requesting the location and time for her interview, which I sent to her before coming here," she said, her voice shaking with fear.Just then, Steve came in, “What's going on here? And what's up with the tense look?” as he looked at both of them seeking answers. “We received a call from an unknown number, saying that Isabella has been kidnapped,” she managed to tell him.“What! How did it happen? I thought the house was fully secured, so how come she has been kidnapped?” he asked, looking worried and confused.“You know, if you hadn't been so adamant about her working, all of this wouldn't have happened, always giving her every reason to be independent while I'm here trying to protect he

"Good afternoon, officers," Steve said, his voice firm and urgent as he and Mia walked into the police station. "Please, we would like to report an emergency case of kidnapping." The officer behind the desk looked up from the paperwork he was filling out, his expression sympathetic."Okay, sir, ma'am, please come on over and we'll get the report started," the officer said, gesturing to two chairs in front of his desk. Steve and Mia sat down, their eyes fixed on the officer as he began to ask them questions. "Can you please tell me what happened? Who was kidnapped?""It's Mr. James's wife, Isabella," Mia said, her voice shaking with emotion. "She had an interview to attend this morning, which I sent the location and time for the interview, but I was at James's office this morning, and just while we were having a conversation he received a call from the kidnapper, that his wife is with them, demanding a ransom in exchange for her safe return." Steve placed a comforting hand on Mia's ar

A team of police officers burst into the room, their guns drawn and their eyes scanning the space. "Your hands up; you're under arrest for the kidnap of Mr. and Mrs. James Reed," one of the officers shouted, his voice firm and authoritative. "Whatever you say will be used against you." Emily's eyes widened in shock as she slowly raised her hands, a look of defiance still etched on her face.The officers moved quickly, surrounding Emily and cuffing her wrists behind her back. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you." Emily's eyes flashed with anger, but she said nothing, her lips pressed together in a tight line.The officers ordered Emily to move, and she was led out of the room, still cuffed and under guard. As she was taken away, the officers turned their attention to James, who was still sitting on the floor, his eyes fixe

Mr. Reed arrived at the hospital, greeted by the sound of beeping machines and the smell of disinfectant. He quickly made his way to the reception desk, where a friendly nurse looked up at him and asked, "Can I help you, sir?" Mr. Reed's face was etched with worry, and he replied, “My son and daughter-in-law were brought in after a kidnapping." The nurse's expression changed to one of concern, and she nodded, "Yes, sir. They're being treated in room 304. Let me just check with the doctor to see if you can go in."Mr. Reed nodded, his eyes scanning the hospital lobby as he waited. He couldn't believe that this had happened to his family. He had always been so protective of them, and now...now they had been kidnapped. The thought sent a wave of anger and fear through him, and he clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down. The nurse returned, smiling sympathetically, and said, "The doctor says it's okay for you to go in, sir.Mr. Reed nodded, taking a deep breath as he followed th

Mr. Reed was sitting in his living room, relaxing and trying to unwind after a long day. He had just poured himself a glass of scotch and was about to take a sip when he heard the doorbell ring. He got up to answer it, expecting it to be one of his staff members or perhaps a neighbor. But to his surprise, it was Mrs. Valerie."Oh, who do we have here? Welcome, Mrs. Valerie," he said, trying to sound polite but not smiling. "Please, come in and have a seat."Mrs. Valerie looked at him with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes. "I didn't come all the way here to sit and dine, you know how busy I am, so I prefer standing," she said, her voice firm. "My daughter was arrested; I know what she did was grievous, and I'm not in support of the act, but pressing charges, don't you think you're going too far?" He raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of annoyance at her question. "I am doing what's right, Mrs. Valerie," he said, not looking at her for a second. "And besides, I wasn't the one

Everyone looked at each other confused, unsure of what was happening. "What are you talking about, Phil? I'm confused about your interest in this," James asked, his voice laced with concern. James shook his head, trying to clear the confusion. "Wait a minute, the lady you're talking about is Emily?" he said, his voice slow and deliberate.“Emily right here is the reason I'm in town, the same woman who does want me in her life and that of our unborn child, and surprisingly, she's here trying to pin my own child on another man who doesn't even want her. How pathetic can you be Emily?” He said, feeling disgusted by Emily's act.“Phi..Phil? What are you doing here? Ho..how do you both know each other? She asked as she stuttered.She stood there, her face burning with embarrassment, as she took to her heels, her mum following closely behind. She couldn't believe what was happening, and she just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. As they walked away.Mrs. Valerie turned to

Emily walked to the center of the crowd, trying to draw attention. She stood tall, her eyes scanning the sea of faces before her. "Attention, everybody," she said, her voice clear and strong. "I would like to make a wonderful announcement. It's a discovery I just found out minutes ago, and I'm sure it will be of interest to you." The crowd began to murmur, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation.Mrs. Valerie, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, looked around and then back at her daughter, wondering what her daughter was up to.

But Emily just smiled and continued to speak, her voice growing louder and more confident.James, who was standing a few feet away, looked around confused.

Emily was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone in frustration. Phil began disturbing her phone with calls, and she decided to pick up. “What is it? For God's sake, what do you want from me Phil?" she asked, her voice firm and annoyed. "I have told you countless times to stop calling me, we've got no business together." Phil's voice was calm and persuasive on the other end of the line. "C'mon Emily, why are you acting weird? We both know I am the father of the child you're carrying, so allow me to take my responsibilities."Her anger and frustration boiled over at his words. "What stupid responsibilities?" she spat. "I have told you we've got no business together and no child together whatsoever. Just leave me alone, Phil." His tone turned slightly aggressive, and Emily could sense the desperation in his voice. "Emily, don't be like this. I know we had a thing, and I know I'm the father of your child. I want to be involved in your lives, and I want to take care of you both."Emi

James didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to accept that his dad might not make it. He held his hand, talking to him, trying to keep him awake. "Dad, stay with me," he said, his voice shaking. "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Dr. Smith held his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep sense of concern. "I think you should get your wife here, or it's too late," he said, his voice low and urgent. "It's possible he wants to say something important." He quickly brought out his phone, his hands shaking as he scrolled through his contacts. He found Bella's number and dialed it, but she wasn't responding. He tried calling her again, but it went straight to voicemail.He wasn't sure where to go, or what to do. He knew that he had to find his wife, but he had no idea where she was. He thought about going to the hospital where Miranda was; he was certain she must have been discharged by now and he doubted she would be there. He knew that the only place to go to was her previous apartme

Both best friends decided to go drinking to clear their heads, sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting.James was nursing a whiskey on the rocks, while Steve was sipping on a beer. The bartender, a friendly woman with a warm smile, was polishing a glass and listening in on their conversation. James was staring into his drink, his eyes lost in thought. Steve, noticing his friend's distant expression, decided to speak up."Yo man, I think it's high time you reduce your intake of alcohol," he advised, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting too much. You're drinking every night, and it's starting to affect your daily life, you rarely come to work. I think you should give this girl a break not after everything that has happened." He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Steve. "Bro, just let me be," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be fine. I just want to drink to clear my head off, and that's all; without her, I can't think straight; she isn't responding to m

Miranda tried sitting up, confused about what was going on and what James was talking about. "What truth is he talking about, Bella?" she asked, turning to her sister with a look of confusion. She then turned to Mia and asked."What's going on, can somebody please talk to me? Who is this young man and what truth is he talking about?" Mia looked at Bella, who took a deep breath before speaking."I'll explain, Mimi, please just calm down," Bella said in a low tone, trying to soothe her sister's frazzled nerves. "He's my husband, on a contract, but trust me, all of these will soon be over," she added, her voice barely above a whisper. Miranda's eyes widened in shock, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "What! You're kidding, aren’t you? Are you trying to tell me you got married without letting your only family hear about it?" she shouted, her voice rising in anger and hurt.She looked down, feeling guilty and ashamed. "I know I should have told you, Mimi, but it was all

James and Bella both rushed down to the police station, their hearts filled with excitement and relief. As they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Miranda, standing in the middle of the room, looking weak and frail.Bella's eyes widened with joy and concern as she rushed towards her sister, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug. “I'm sorry all of these have to happen to you, Mimi," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"Miranda, who was extremely weak, couldn't utter a word, only stood there looking at her sister, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions. Bella held her tight, tears of joy streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry, my little one. I promise I will never let anything happen to you, because you are never leaving my sight," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I was so worried about you." James stood back, watching the reunion with a warm heart, feeling happy that Miranda was finally safe.As Bella continued to hug her sist

"C’mon, Bella, you've been like this for weeks; you need to get a hold of yourself," James said, his voice filled with concern as he noticed Bella's mood. "I promise, Miranda will be found and brought back." Bella looked up at him, her eyes red from crying, and her face pale with worry. "How sure are you?" she asked, her voice shaking with fear. "It's been weeks, and we haven't even heard anything from them, and neither are the police saying anything. She's the only family I've got, and you want me to act like nothing has happened to her."He took a deep breath and pulled Bella into a hug. "I’m not saying that, I know it's been tough, but we can't give up hope," he said, his voice soft and reassuring. "The police are doing everything they can to find her, and I'm sure they'll come up with something soon." She pulled back and looked at him, her eyes searching for answers. "But what if they don't?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if we never see her again?"James's

"You need to calm down, babe, I had to rush down here immediately; I got your call," James said, trying to calm Bella down. "Trust me, if the kidnap isn't connected to anybody, we will surely get a call from them requesting a ransom; let's just give them a few hours." Bella, whose eyes were filled with tears, shook her head. "I'm just confused, what's going on?" she asked, her voice trembling. "First, it was me, now my innocent sister... Who knows who might be next?"He pulled Bella into a hug, trying to comfort her. "C’mon, you need to stop thinking about it and hope we get a call soon. We'll get through this, okay," he said. "We'll find out who's behind this and we'll get your sister back safely." Steve, who had been quiet until now, joined the conversation. "Don't worry, I promise we'll get her back," he said, his voice filled with determination. "But I had no idea you've got a sister all these while." Bella sniffled, wiping her tears with her sleeve."She was at the hospital all
