Hugo walked towards the direction of the sound he had heard.

Matteo looked around and concluded there was no place for him to hide. Any step from where he was would make him visible to Hugo.

He didn't know much about the port and that would put him at a disadvantage running here and there.

Hugo was already in a bad mood and getting caught would be bad for him especially when he knew nothing about the burnt goods but that doesn't matter as he would make the finest scapegoat.

He knew he couldn't match Hugo in terms of strength but luckily, Hugo was all by himself. Though his chauffeur was a bit far away from him, he was certain he could outrun Hugo.

That was only one way out for him, he would have to put his sprinting talent into use.

He held his phone tightly ready for the chase, putting his plan in action, he was going to lure Hugo, he took a quick glance of the terrain of the port and raced like his whole life depended on it.

"Stop right there!" Hugo shouted as he saw the figure runni

    At Matilda's offer, Arthur realized a drink was what he needed that moment. He had been nervous and panicked all the way down to her."What are you thinking of?"Arthur stepped out of the elevator. "You're right, I think I should have a drink."The Lorenzo's siblings walked into Matilda's office. Matilda poured him a glass of alcoholic wine and gave it to him. "Here.""Thank you."Matilda's observant eyes didn't miss the signs of his distress. "You're still very much in a very bad shape.""Getting sleep seems to be a luxury." Arthur admitted, sadness evident in his voice.Matilda proved further. "Have you spoken to her since then?""I have no words." Arthur replied."Still, you should check on her well being and lessen the burden in your heart." Matilda said."For her well being, I have that figured out. I assigned one of my men to look out for her and as for the burden in my heart, I can take care of myself.""You really do not know how women think, do you?" Matilda shook her head at

    "Here is the document you asked for sir." Lawrence secretary announced but could tell her boss was far away. "Excuse me, boss." She gently knocked the table in front of her to gain his attention."Oh, Kate." Lawrence jolted out of his thoughts, "how may I help you?""Here are the document you told me to bring to you." Kate repeated."Thank you, I'll go through them later." Lawrence replied as she took her exit. While at work, Arthur's words had weighed heavily on Lawrence's heart and troubled him greatly.Through the series of meetings he had head that day, he could barely comprehend what was being said since his mind was fully absent."Could she be using another phone?" He thought to himself repeatedly. "If she does have another phone, where could she be hiding it?" Lawrence asked as his mind weighed heavily on the questions that keep popping in his head.He kept swirling on his chair and the headache he was feeling was making matters worst.He didn't realize how much time he had inv

    Lawrence tugged at his tie and undid the first two button on his shirt, he felt like he was choking on himself.He hit the sterling of his car hard as his mouth ran dry. Patricia was definitely hiding something from him. The panic on her face and the phone she had slyly hid behind the bouquet of flowers spoke volumes. There were red flags staring at him right in the face.He was losing it and needed to speak to someone, Arthur was the only person that came to mind at that point so he picked his phone and dialed Arthur's number."You're right, Arthur." Lawrence began. "She has another phone. I heard her talking to someone on that phone." He explained further as his breath shudders."Calm down, Lawrence." Arthur said as he noticed Lawrence irregular breaths."I think I really need to put someone on her tail, I don't care if she finds out." Lawrence breaths became heavier."Calm down, man." Arthur raised his voice at him and he could hear Lawrence breathing normalize. "Are you okay now?"

    Lawrence walked into Arthur's study, he looked worn out and mad. "Hi man," he muttered as he found his way to the sofa and sank into it.He noticed another figure in the room. "Edward," his countenance shifted to being surprised. "It's been a while, good to see you again." He sat up and stretched his hand towards him."Thank you." Edward took his hand as they both both exchange a warm handshake."Okay gentlemen, let's dabble into the business of the day." Arthur joined the men on the sofa.Lawrence threw Arthur a quick glance and Arthur got his message, "I've got you, Lawrence. Edward is one of us.""I know, it's just that everything seems embarrassing." Lawrence sank back to the sofa still looking unsettled."How do you feel?" Arthur asked."Betrayed and angry." Lawrence answered honestly. I mean there is absolutely no need for her to hide her other phone if she has nothing to hide, I can help but think of what she's been doing behind me those late nights." His voice broke."About th

    Bella was dressed in a simple gown and her hair was packed in a ponytail style. She looked so pale but that did not in any way deterred her beauty.She slowly walked down the stairs, feeling nauseous and tired. Once she was done with the exercise, the urge to throw up became unbearable.She quickly rushed to a corner to spill out the content in her mouth. Patricia who had been watching rushed towards her side."Here, have some water." Patricia gave her a bottle of water and patted her back.Bella took a sip of the water and washed her mouth and face. "Thank you.""How are you feeling?""Not so good." Bella replied. "I feel so dizzy.""I can tell, let's be on our way to the hospital.""I don't think I want to go there anymore.""Why?" Patricia asked in surprise. "You were bent on going yesterday, why the sudden change of mind?""I just feel so exhausted and the mere thoughts of hospitals makes me shudders, besides I could get a kit from a nearby pharmacy to check myself rather than go

Initially, he was stuck between going after Patricia or finding more more about James situation.He opted for the latter seeing how heavily it was guarded.

    "Hello Fargo." Matteo said in a hulky voice."To whom do I owe this honour?""I thought about the proposal you made the last time and decided to invest, can we meet?""Now?" Fargo asked."What better time, if not now?"Fargo was in the process of transporting James to his house and it wasn't convenient at the moment but he thought briefly about how urgent he needed to finance his products."Hello, are you there?""Yea, I am." Fargo replied. "Hope you don't mind if I propose hosting you at my place?""Of course not, thanks for the honour." Matteo replied, happy he took the bait."I'm glad you didn't decline, I'll text you my address.""I'm waiting, see you soon."Matteo called Arthur back. "We are meeting at his place, I'll send you the location as soon as I get it.""If Fargo is heading to his place, then I'm sure that is Edward's destination.""I'll keep filling you in.""Thank you," Arthur paused for a second.

Arthur's gathered evidences were very instrumental in their arrest.Soon, Patricia and Amelia were arraigned for trial. Bella had pleaded for a chance to talk to Patricia at the final trial. "Why do you have to hurt us so much? I treated like you a sister and James adorned you.""Tell me why I should be nice to you filthy pieces of trash?" Patricia asked showing no remorse. "You stole Arthur from me, I regretted not poisoning you to death when I had the chance."Bella bursted into another round of fresh tears, "you're hopeless.""Take her away."Arthur pulled Bella to himself. "Everything would be fine, I'm certain justice would prevail, let's go in and hear the final verdict." He

    Fargo took off the glasses and smashed it to pieces disconnecting the live video. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked as he rained slaps on Arthur's face.Arthur groaned loudly in pain. "I'm unveiling who you truly are to the world.""I'll kill you." Fargo said angrily as he sent Arthur crashing on the ground with another blow.Arthur spat blood. "You shouldn't have touched my family."Fargo took out a pocket knife, "I'll let you experience pain and beg me to kill you.""The moment you kill me, your entire life will be over. No matter where you go, you'll always have to be on the run.""I've killed once, you think I'll be afraid to do again?" Fargo asked."The choice is yours; turn yourself to the police and face the law or be on the run all your life like a rat.""We would see about that, I'm going to take my time with you." Fargo replied. He grabbed a small bottle and a syringe and injected it Arthur s body causing him to feel numb and weak. "Remember, nobody is coming to save

    Arthur laid Patricia on the sofa, he quickly arranged for some bodyguards to take over and secure the place while he proceeded with his next step of action.He called a number on his phone. "Hello, Carla?""Yes, who is..." Carla immediately recognized the voice. "Arthur Lorenzo?""Yes it's me.""To whom do I owe this pleasure?" Carla asked in surprise."I thought you would be interested in being a real reporter this time.""Hmmmmm, I don't think I'm ready, I resigned from my job to take a break.""I know you resigned and that is the more reason you're the perfect fit for this job. Enough break, Carla. It's time to get back to work.""What are you talking about? I already said I'm not going to be anyone prawn.""You tell me, how does being n independent famous reporter sound?""What do you have for me?" Carla asked, taking interest."We are going live, Carla." Arthur announced. "Two of my friends are being hostage by a drug baron who happens to be an acquaintance of Amelia.""What?" Ca

    "oh my god," Bella gasped as she saw james lying motionlessly on the bed. "What happened to you?" She held his hand and kissed his forehead.Arthur stood right beside her, watching the one grid reunion. "There is something you need to know." He began. Rubbing off the tears from her face, "what is it?""I need you to be brave, Bel." Arthur grabbed her shoulder. "Can you spill it out already?"Arthur took a deep breathe before spilling the beans, "The doctors said James doesn't have much time with us."Bella tried to speak while processing the words that had fallen out of Arthur's mouth but found herself staggering, all thanks to Arthur's firm grip on her, she would have fallen to the ground."He was doing well before he left, what happened?""Unfortunately his health relapsed, we have to prepare ourselves for the worst." Arthur replied."That bitch, what has she done to my brother?" Bella cussed and yelled.Arthur drew her closer, "I'll take care of everything."Bella scoffed. "How w

    Bella was lost in thoughts about what to do with the pregnancy when she heard a soft but persistent knock on the door.She wasn't expecting anyone, besides it was already late but at the thought of James, she quickly ran and opened the door without asking who it was.Her reaction was emotionless but she could swear her heart had beaten a thousand times in a spilt second while looking at the figure in front of her.The two stared at each other intensely without any spoken words and increased breathing, she had believed he would never appear in front of her again and to think he was actually in her house for the very first time made it difficult for her to know what to do.A quick glance at his handsome face revealed how pale he looked and her heart broke. "What are you doing here?" She asked, afraid he wouldn't say a thing and remained at the door."We found him." Arthur said in almost a whisper."You found James?" Her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.Arthur found himself unab

    "Tie them up.""Why did you stop us from chasing after them, boss." Hugo asked."Use your brain, James is going to die soon. I've been thinking of ways to dispose him without having to stain my hands, who knew luck would shine on me?"Hugo nodded his head, "but what are we going to do about them?""We are going to use them to negotiate with Arthur. We should get some money off them to compensate for all of our troubles.""Do you think he is going to give in?""Of course, he won't leave them behind." Fargo replied."Are you giving on the lady?""Of course, of what use is she when she is penniless?" Fargo replied. "There are plenty of beauties scattered round the world."***Arthur drove on a very high speed as he headed to the location sent to his phone by Matteo."Damn you Fargo, damn you Patricia." He cussed out. "I'll rip you both into pieces, I promise."Looking at the map on his phone, he could tell he was very close to his destination. He looked up and saw a house in sight. It wa
