Talia was still seated on the bed when Kiara walked in. She immediately recognized her as the lady who was with Nathan at the party they had attended about a month ago.Talia didn't utter a word. She had nothing to say because she was slowly understanding what the hell was going on. She heaved deeply and looked away from Kiara.She had heard when Kiara ordered the man to place a call across to Leo immediately. That simply meant Leo also had a hand in this too.Talia wondered how she was going to explain to Kiara that Nathan didn't want to have anything to do with her either and that he had always cut off ties with her already before she was kidnapped. As much as she was trying so hard to act tough, fear was still so evident in her eyes because she had no idea what her fate might be and these people weren't just ordinary people.They were people who could kill without remorse.Kiara began to walk closer to her when the man stepped out to go make the phone call."Surprised to see me?"T
As Leo walked in, he headed straight for his dad's study room. Just when Leo was at the entrance and he had touched the doorknob, he heard Nathan's voice."How could you do such a cruel thing?"It made Leo wonder what could have happened. Probably Nathan was talking about Talia.Just to be careful, he slowly opened the door and stepped into the room. Leo was certain that Nathan and his dad were nowhere close to the door and that it would be hard for them to notice that he just stepped in The study room was so huge and had different corners and spots.He slowly continued to walk in until he was standing at a spot where he could clearly listen to Nathan and their dad."I had no choice. You know who we are, Levi, and you should never forget the kind of family you came from.""You killed an innocent man because of greed. All you could have done was let it go.""That's not who we are, Levi. We're a family that nobody can double-cross and go scot-free. I wish there was a way I could have s
There was a knock on the door, but the silence in the room did not end. Leo opened the door and stepped in, heading towards his dad and Nathan. There was every need to sneak back out."Dad." He called as he stood in front of Mr Mercidi."Like I said before, Leo, you'll be helping your brother till he takes over everything. Do not leave his side."Leo turned his gaze to Nathan, then he nodded his head after seeing the expression on his face. "Yes, Dad." He answered obediently. There was still another plan."You need to keep him away from Sebastian. Probably he's the one poisoning his mind."Leo's words brought Nathan back to his senses immediately. Definitely not Sebastian. "Don't you fucking dare. Leave Sebastian out of this." Nathan ordered, but Leo was silent. He was only staring at his dad, and waiting for the next instruction.Leo had expected Mr. Mercidi to reply to him with a yes or maybe permit him to replace Sebastian, but it was completely the opposite. Sebastian could be the
"Where are you?" Leo questioned Kiara when she was done speaking. From the tone of her voice, he was certain that she was hurt and he wanted to be there for her while she passes through the tough decision that she had just made"I don't wanna see your face, Leo. Just get it don't with. I want to stay beside Levi when it's all over, please." Kiara said.Since he knew she was hurt and it was the only thing that he could give her in exchange, he decided to let her do it. " If that's what you wish, Kiara. He said." There was silence between them both for only about 20 seconds"This is the best choice you'll ever make, Kiara, trust me."Kiara didn't utter a word, and a few seconds later, she ended the call.Kiara was in no mood to say a word to anybody anymore. If what she had done or she decided was going to make Nathan his, then she had no other choice.She began to climb the stairs, wrecking her hand into her hair as she walked."I have to go now."There was no response from her.The ma
"What is it, Sasha?" Bryan said, his voice almost like a whisper. The worst thing that would happen right now was Taylor finding out that he was still talking with Sasha."I need us to meet right away, it's really urgent." She said desperately.Bryan today or tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow would not work. Those days were meant to be spent with Taylor."Text me if it's important. We can't meet for now, or when I spare some time I'll call you.""Are you with your wife?" "How's that any of your business, Sasha?"She scoffed, "Is what we're doing really more important than this? You know how important this is to me and most especially your family.""I can't talk for now, got to go," Bryan said. He heard Sasha's voice one more time but ended the call a second later. Taking a deep breath in, Bryan stared at his phone, and a text appeared on the screen."I'll be waiting at your company at exactly 12, please be there."He continued to stare at the message without uttering a word. Th
A few hours to 12, Bryan and Taylor were ready to leave the hotel. Bryan held Taylor's hands and after she grabbed her bag, they walked out of the room."Here." He handed the keys over to one of the receptionists. She smiled and collected it from his hand, and before he walked away, lowered her head in respect, "Have a nice day sir."Taylor let out a smile as they both walked out."Don't tell me you couldn't feel it?""Feel what?" He inquired.Taylor scoffed aloud, "You must be kidding me right?"Bryan suddenly halted and gave her a questioning look. "Care to tell me what's wrong?" Taylor turned around to stare at him because he wasn't moving. The serious look on his face made her burst into laughter, and it made Bryan realize that Taylor might have just been teasing him.To apologize, she walked towards him and took his hands."You mad at me?"There was no reply from Bryan, and she instantly took it that he was pissedShe lifted her legs and reached for his face to peck him, "is this
The car halted and Bryan was the first person to step down from it. Taylor did after a few seconds. It was written all over her face that she badly wanted to see her kids.Bryan outstretched one of his hands and she took it. He held her hand and they began to walk into the house.They both stepped into the house, but the living room was empty. "Nanny!" Taylor called. It was 1pm in the afternoon and it was Saturday."Nanny!" Taylor called again, but there was no response. "Nanny!" Bryan decided to call since his voice was louder than Taylor's. A few seconds later, one of the nannies came rushing down the stairs."What's happening? Where are the kids, and where's Talia?""The kids are in their room, and ma'am Talia isn't back home yet?" The nanny answered.Taylor arched her brows, but then she suddenly heard Kyle's voice. "Momma!!" The little guy called, running down the stairs with his Nanny behind him."Easy sweetheart, don't run too much or you might hurt yourself."She lowered her b
"I swear, I swear I didn't do anything! I swear on my life, I didn't do anything to him. Nathan!!" Talia yelled out in pain as she kept banging the door hard even though her hands were hurting.What a fucking coincidence it was.No one was ready to listen to her no matter how much or how hard she cried.Talia wasn't worried about herself, instead, she was worried about Nathan. She had watched him get shot right in the forehead and she had watched him bleed before passing out"He's going to die. You have to let me go! I wanna see him!" She begged, but no one wanted to listen to her. A few minutes later she stopped yelling and huddled herself in the small and dark room where she had been kept.Talia had to think back to how it all happened.It happened so quickly that it was so hard for her to recall anything.The only thing she recalled before she passed out was Nathan getting shot and falling on her. She called his name severally hearing him groan in pain, but there was no answer. A

"I wanna show you something, Taylor," Talia said as they broke the hug and wiped their tears,"What?""Come inside, baby." Talia half yelled, and from the entrance, Nathan stepped into the room holding a precious little baby in his arms. It seemed he couldn't stop her from crying softly."Oh, oh my goodness. Nathan?" Talia called. She waited and when he was standing next to them, Talia took the baby from his hand."Hey Taylor… it's been a while." Nathan uttered, but instead, Taylor embraced him so tight. "Yeah, it has. I can't believe I'm seeing you right now."A year back, Alexander had told her the truth. It wasn't Nathan who hurt her family, but his father and he was dead. After everything Mercidi did to her father, Taylor couldn't bring herself to hate Nathan because he had no idea about what his father did after all."You have a baby?""She's ours," Talia responded, and Taylor smiled."Can I?" "Do you even have to ask? Here, take her. She's always wanted to meet her aunt." Gent
ONE YEAR LATER."Kylie baby, come on, you're going to be late okay?" Taylor yelled as her daughter was taking so long to come down.Kyle and Kristen were standing close to her. "Mom, we're going to be late for our birthday party," Kristen said "Just give your sister 5 more minutes okay? She'll be down." Taylor said."Mommy." Kylie yelled as she rushed down the stairs with the nanny behind her. As soon as she got to where Taylor was, she hugged her so tight."You look gorgeous my darling," Taylor said and hugged Kylie. Her daughter was in a lovely pink dress and a crown on her forehead which made her look just a princess. "Now come on, we're going to be late okay." Kylie nodded her head. Just as she turned around, she halted and turned back again,"I love you so much, Daddy," Kylie uttered, blowing a little kiss towards the portrait of Bryan on the wall. Taylor turned around to stare at her daughter and smiled widely."Come on baby." She said again, and Kylie took her hand once again
Noticing that there was no other way to escape, Leo ran into a building before his enemies could get to him. It was an old building and the only building around the area, and thankfully, there weren't many people in it.Noticing that there were only a few of his men left, Asher was determined to kill Leo no matter what. As soon as he came towards the building, he smiled and tucked his gun into his pocket,"Gotcha." He uttered and began to step in.Meanwhile, Sebastian, Nathan, and Thiago got to the building five minutes later. "Damn it, how are we going to go in there?" Sebastian questioned,"We'll just go in," Nathan responded and cocked his head towards Thiago who nodded."What do you mean? There are people everywhere and we might hurt them.""Not just ordinary people, Sebastian. Thiago and I planned everything so that building is mine, and those people are ours. They work for us.Sebastian chuckled, "Why do I even bother underestimating the things you can do, Levi? You're damn smar
Sebastian couldn't stall anymore because if he did, then Rose's life would be in danger just like Leo had threatened. His greatest fear was losing the woman he was meant to protect.Although he had been able to protect Sharon, Rose was more important and he couldn't let anyone hurt her."I need to see the boss." Sebastian was standing at the entrance of the two big doors leading inside the mansion. When he uttered this, the door was opened by two bodyguards and he was allowed to step in.As he got in, the first person his gaze found was Micheal standing behind Leo. Sebastian waited for about 10 minutes before Leo called his attention as he had been discussing with a few friends,"Please sit. We shouldn't treat our guests with disrespect." Leo uttered and smiled knowing that today was the last day. It was either Sebastian had news about the warehouse or he had agreed for Rose to be killed."So, where is it?" Leo questioned.Sebastian took his gaze away from Micheal's and averted it to
As soon as Sasha heard the voice behind her, she turned around immediately pointing her gun towards the three officers who were in front of her with their guns pointed towards her."Ms. Sasha Davis, you're under arrest for murder, illegal sales of drugs, and robbery." Sasha chuckled aloud. Of course, everything was making her damn insane. They found out everything she was hiding. The man whom she had hired had his gun pointed right in front of the officers while Sasha carefully turned sideways,"Move." She yelled at Bryan, but he didn't move away from Taylor."Move or I blow one of their brains," Sasha yelled again staring at the kids, and this time, it was Taylor who moved away from Bryan."Good girl. Come closer."Taylor rose to her feet and walked towards Sasha like she had instructed, "Please, just don't hurt my kids, please.""You can't shoot, you're gonna hurt any of them if you do," Alexander uttered to one of the officers standing beside him as he stared at Bryan."If any of
NEXT NIGHT:Natalia had decided not to step out of her room since she knew Nathan was preparing to leave. If she stepped out, then she would certainly tag along with him so it was best to stay back without saying goodbye or good luck. It was so fucking hard to think that he would be out there alone and she wouldn't be by his day.She had always dreamt that if this day would arrive, she would be beside him and fight, but too bad an unexpected baby had changed everything. Although Talia couldn't deny that she was angry, she couldn't blame the child growing inside of her. If more than anything, she ought to be happy and pray for Nathan's safe returnA knock was rasped on the door,"Come in," Talia uttered, averting her gaze to the door. When the door opened, she heaved in disappointment. "So sorry if I wasn't who you were desperately expecting, sweetheart," Maya said as she walked in and Talia immediately changed her countenance."I'm sorry.""It's fine, darling. How are you feeling? I w
"Everything's ready, and we're leaving tonight. I still fucking hope Sebastian's alright cause if he isn't, then I'm never going to forgive myself." Nathan said and took the last content in the glass"He's gonna be fine, Levi, trust me. I would have gotten words if something happened to Sebastian, alright? Now, we've got to think about you first. You need to successfully make your way to the warehouse before anything else.""Yeah, I know, before Leo gets even the slightest hint of what's happening," Nathan responded. He had never been so nervous all his life, but tomorrow night was going to be the hardest fight Nathan ever had since he knew how to handle a gun and pull the trigger. Tomorrow night, he was going to face his brother, and an enemy of his family for so many years. "I need you to do something important for me, Thiago. I need Natalia to be in safe arms, and if I don't make it alive, I want her to be happy. Damn, she's got to live her life, find a good man, and take good car
The very moment Taylor got to her destination, she halted her car and without a warning began to run towards the graveyard. Thinking about her kids in danger was even more scary than she had ever imagined and so when she stepped in, she was knocked out by a man who had gotten to her unexpectedly.A few hours later, Taylor woke up to see her kids all asleep beside her."Kylie, Kyle, Kristen!" She called their names, but there was no response. "What did you do to my kids? What the hell did you do?" Taylor yelled out loud as she stared at the man standing right in front of her with a mask on his face,"They'll be awake soon. If we wanted them dead, then madam would have instructed earlier.""Madam? Who's she? Who kidnapped my kids?" "Shut up woman, else I might really hurt one of them. Madam will be here soon so wait patiently." The man instructed and Taylor immediately became silent. The most important thing right now was that her kids were alive and she was beside them.A few minutes
