As the armed men filed into the room, the head of the team said into the Bluetooth on his ear, "Boss, we've found her." With that, his attention returned to Jason, who had gotten off the bed and was standing calmly on the side, seemingly unaffected by the imminent danger. In no time, Wayne dashed into the room, pushing his men aside as he stood in front of the scene. His gaze anxiously darted around the room until it fell upon Kaylar, who was lying on the bed, looking pale and weak. Jason had picked up the table knife he had thrown on the floor earlier, and now he placed the knife against Kaylar's neck. His eyes glinted with a twisted amusement. Wayne couldn't contain himself. "Let her go, Jason," he warned, his voice low and demanding. "Why should I?" Jason retorted, increasing the pressure on his hand, causing the knife to cut into Kaylar's throat slightly. A small trickle of blood began to ooze from her flesh, and she winced in pain. Wayne's eyes darkened, his anger flaring. "Le
The next day, early in the morning."Kaylar has been found!" Wayne beamed as he shared the news with his grandparents and Kaylar's mom.Everyone was elated as they asked Wayne when they could visit. …Before noon, Kaylar's hospital ward was filled with her worried mother and Wayne's concerned grandmother.Unfortunately, Kaylar was still in a deep slumber, the effects of the anaesthesia lingering. "What did the doctor say about her condition" Kaylar's mom shifted her gaze from Kaylar and turned to Wayne."Her condition is stable. The doctor said it would take some time for her to recuperate." Wayne tried to stay positive."That's good" Kaylar's mom sounded relieved."There's something else…" Wayne started but was cut off by Emilia's anxious tone."Is it something regarding her health?" "It's something better" "What is it?" Emilia sounded as though she was ready to squeeze out the words from Wayne's mouth."Mom, Kaylar is pregnant" A wide smile formed on Wanye's face as he broke the
Back at the hospital, Grandma Yu and Emilia both sat at the side of Kaylar's bed, anxiously awaiting her awakening. The doctor had informed them that she could wake up at any moment, giving them a glimmer of hope during this difficult time.As the minutes ticked by, Kaylar's eyelashes fluttered gently, indicating the slow return of consciousness. She gingerly turned her head to the side, her gaze landing on Emilia, whose eyes were filled with tears as she looked upon her daughter. A weak smile formed on Kaylar's lips as she tried to speak, her voice cracking due to her parched throat."Mom," Kaylar's voice trembled, her words barely audible.Emilia's heart ached at the sound of her daughter's weakened voice. Determined to provide comfort, she quickly responded, "Water, I'll get water for you." Emilia rushed to the nearby jug and carefully poured water into a glass, her hands trembling with anticipation.Returning to Kaylar's side, Emilia held the glass close to her daughter's lips. "He
After the phone call, Wayne pulled out his laptop and made his way to the sitting area of Kaylar's ward. He took a seat and positioned himself comfortably, ready to delve into his work. The room was relatively quiet, with only the soft hum of medical equipment filling the air. As Wayne began typing, the sound of his fingers dancing across the keyboard echoed around the sterile walls.Wayne had been absent from work for a few days due to the search for Kaylar. There were numerous deals still pending, waiting for his final approval, and he couldn't ignore his responsibilities any longer. However, he didn't want to leave Kaylar's side until she was fully discharged. It was a difficult balancing act, trying to maintain both his professional and personal duties.Unbeknownst to Wayne, Kaylar had awakened from her slumber. She turned to her side, her eyes fixated on her husband. There was a mix of emotions swirling within her as she observed his dishevelled appearance and the dark circles
"Mia, it feels like forever since I saw you," Kaylar said, a warm smile spreading across her face as her best friend dismissed the nurse that had accompanied her.Mia grinned mischievously, sliding onto the edge of Kaylar's bed and placing the stethoscope she had been wearing on the side table. "Well, I had to make sure these nurses weren't hogging all your attention. Can't have that!"Kaylar rolled her eyes, playfully swatting at Mia's arm. "Oh, please! Like anyone could steal your spotlight."Their laughter filled the room as Mia leaned in closer, her brows raised teasingly. "So, babes, omg, so Dean informed me that you're pregnant, huh?""Mia, I can't believe you're teasing me about this!" Kaylar exclaimed, blushing slightly.Mia chuckled and shrugged. "Well, it's exciting news! I couldn't resist."A blush crept up Kaylar's cheeks, but she couldn't help but smile. "Yes, I am Mia. We're having a baby."The two friends squealed with delight, as they embraced each other, their exciteme
The days had flown by, and finally, the day of Kaylar's discharge arrived. She was lying peacefully in her hospital bed when Wayne entered the room, a smile on his face."Kaylar, the time has come. Are you ready to go home?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement.Kaylar nodded eagerly, looking forward to leaving the sterile hospital environment behind. Wayne helped her sit up and carefully transferred her into the wheelchair.As Wayne pushed her towards the elevator, Kaylar couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. She was relieved to be leaving the hospital, but also a bit nervous about what awaited her at home.They arrived at the parking lot, and there, waiting for them was their driver. Wayne manoeuvred the wheelchair next to the car, and with gentle precision, lifted Kaylar out and settled her comfortably inside.As the car started its engine and left the hospital grounds, Kaylar let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the tension slowly melt away."It's so good to be home," s
The next morning was a Monday, and as Wayne woke up, he was surprised to find an empty bed. Panic rushed through him as he quickly got off the bed, slipped on his shoes, and dashed towards the bathroom, hoping to find Kaylar there. However, she was nowhere in sight. Wayne's worry deepened as he made his way to her room, only to find it empty as well. His brow furrowed, a sense of concern filling his mind.'Where could she be?' Wayne thought to himself as he walked into Kaylar's walk-in closet. His breath hitched in relief when he finally spotted Kaylar standing there, fully dressed in her professional suit, applying a light touch of makeup to enhance her look."Kay, you were here," Wayne exclaimed, a mixture of relief and adoration evident in his voice as he approached her side. "Good morning, baby," he greeted his hand gently circling her waist."Morning, Wayne," Kaylar replied, a warm smile gracing her lips as she wrapped her arm around his neck. "Why aren't you ready for work yet
Wayne arrived at the corporation, he then took the elevator from the parking lot to the top floor.…"Mr. Frenado" Chad greeted as Wayne stepped out of the elevator."Hmm," Wayne replied with a nod without stopping in his tracks as he made his way to his office. Wayne walked into his office and was met with stacks of folders on his table. After some time Chad entered his office and placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee on Wanye's desk. "Sir, I've scheduled a meeting with the representatives from Black Inc. in an hour,'' Chad informed. "That's alright, get the COO for me," Wayne instructed as he read through a file. His brows furrowed deeply. "Okay, sir" With that Chad left Wayne's office. Wayne placed the folder he was reading aside and picked another one from the stack on his desk. As he delved into the new file, his office phone began to ring."Wayne here," he answered smoothly."Mr. Frenado this is Angela from Black Inc. Just confirming our meeting at noon today," Angela's voice
Wayne left Jason's room, his mind in turmoil. The weight of his mother’s venomous words lingered, but he forced himself to focus on the present. As he stepped into the hallway, he called out to the police officers. “Get Meghan out of there,” he ordered, his voice cold and detached. Without waiting for a response, he made his way back to Kaylar’s room. Inside the ward, it was quiet, almost eerily so. Kaylar lay peacefully in her bed, her breathing steady, though her face still showed signs of the ordeal she had endured. Wayne’s mother-in-law was seated beside her, but Wayne could see the exhaustion in her eyes. “You should go home and rest,” Wayne told her gently. She looked at him with a mix of concern and understanding before nodding. “Call me if anything changes,” she said softly before gathering her things and leaving the room. Now it was just Wayne, Kaylar, and Chad, who had just entered the room. Wayne could feel the chaos in his mind, the events of the day overwhelming hi
The hours dragged on in the quiet, sterile corridors of the hospital. Wayne paced back and forth, his mind heavy with worry for Kaylar. When the doors of the emergency room finally swung open, and she was rolled out, Wayne’s heart lurched in his chest. He immediately stood up, his body tensed with anxiety. Kaylar was pale, her eyes closed, and tubes were attached to her, but she was alive. That was all that mattered. Wayne followed the gurney as it was rolled into her ward. He stayed by her side, holding her hand, his eyes never leaving her face. She looked so fragile lying there, a stark contrast to the fierce, determined woman he knew and loved. But as much as he wanted to stay, Chad’s voice interrupted his thoughts. “Wayne,” Chad said softly as he entered the room, his face grim. “Jason’s just been rolled out of the emergency room.”Wayne felt a wave of conflicted emotions wash over him. He glanced back at Kaylar, her mother now sitting beside her, watching over her with the same
Before she could protest, Wayne dashed out of the building, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as he chased after Jason. The night was cool, the air thick with tension as Wayne sprinted into the darkness, his heart pounding with a mixture of adrenaline and fear. He knew this was the endgame—Jason had to be stopped, no matter the cost.Jason, injured and desperate, limped ahead, the pain in his leg slowing him down. He glanced back, seeing Wayne closing in, and gritted his teeth. He had always prided himself on staying one step ahead, but now he was cornered, his escape routes dwindling. As he stumbled into a nearby alleyway, he knew he had to make a final stand.Wayne burst into the alley just as Jason turned to face him, a gun clutched in his hand. There was no hesitation in Jason’s eyes now—only a cold resolve. Wayne barely had time to react as Jason fired. The bullet grazed Wayne’s shoulder, but he didn’t falter. He fired back, the shot hitting Jason squarely in the
Kaylar was dragged through the crumbling hallways of the abandoned building, her heels clicking against the dusty concrete. The men holding her were rough, their grip like iron clamps on her arms. She forced herself to stay calm, knowing that the internal tracking device embedded in her skin was still operational. Wayne would come. He had to.Jason’s men shoved her into a large, dimly lit room at the heart of the building. The walls were lined with rusted pipes and broken windows, allowing beams of moonlight to pierce through the darkness. The place reeked of decay, a fitting backdrop for whatever twisted plan Jason had in mind.Jason followed them in, his footsteps echoing ominously as he approached her. His eyes glinted with malicious intent as he looked down at her, bound and vulnerable. “You’re surprisingly calm, Kaylar,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips. “I suppose you’re still holding on to hope that your precious Wayne will come to your rescue.”Kaylar met his gaze, refusi
Kaylar stood at the edge of the deserted parking lot, her breath visible in the cool evening air. The location Jason had chosen was far from the city—a quiet, industrial area that seemed abandoned. The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving only the faint glow of streetlights to cut through the gathering darkness. She checked her watch: 6:10 PM. Her nerves were frayed, but she kept her expression calm, glancing around for any sign of movement. Chad and Wayne were positioned nearby, monitoring her every move through the tracking device and earpiece she had concealed. She whispered into the earpiece, "Everything looks quiet... too quiet."Wayne’s voice crackled in her ear, “Stay alert. If anything seems off, we’re pulling you out.”Kaylar nodded slightly, trying to steady her racing heart. The air was thick with anticipation as she waited, every minute feeling like an eternity. Suddenly, the distant rumble of an engine reached her ears, and she turned to see a car approaching from t
The city was bathed in the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, its bustling streets unaware of the turmoil brewing behind the scenes. In a sleek, high-rise office, Jason sat behind his desk, his demeanour as cold and calculating as ever. His mind was focused, not on immediate confrontation, but on a strategy that would create chaos without direct conflict. Jason’s office was immaculate, a testament to his obsessive need for control. The room was filled with the soft hum of air conditioning and the occasional click of his keyboard as he worked on his laptop. A sinister smile played at the corners of his mouth as he prepared for the next phase of his plan. He was interrupted by a knock at the door. One of his trusted operatives entered, carrying a stack of documents. Jason looked up, his eyes narrowing with interest. “Everything is set, sir,” the operative said, placing the documents on the desk. Jason’s gaze flickered over the papers, his smile widening. “Excellent. Let’s proceed
The following days at Wayne and Kaylar’s home were filled with a delicate balance of normalcy and tension. The welcome-back dinner had been a success, and the joy of Wayne's return had infused their lives with a renewed sense of hope. Yet, beneath the surface, unspoken worries lingered.Wayne had begun to reintegrate into his daily routine, though his role in the company was still on hold. Kaylar continued to manage everything, her resolve unwavering despite the challenges. Chad's confession hung heavily in her mind, an unresolved issue that gnawed at her even as she tried to focus on her family and their new beginning.One bright morning, Kaylar found herself in the living room, her gaze drifting to the family photographs on the wall. Each frame told a story of happier times—Wayne and her smiling at various events, their
But instead of answering, Jason’s hand shot up, gripping the back of her head with a force that made her gasp. He yanked her hair back, causing her to cry out in pain, the playful atmosphere shattered in an instant."Jason! What the hell has gotten into you?" Asherly screamed, struggling against his hold. "Let me go! You’re hurting me!"Jason’s expression remained cold, his eyes void of the lustful affection he usually displayed towards her. "You think this is a game, don’t you?" he hissed, pulling her hair harder, eliciting another cry of pain. "You think you can keep playing around while everything falls apart?""Let me go, you’re sick!" Asherly shouted, clawing at his hand, but Jason only tightened his grip."Let you go?" Jason echoed mockingly. "Fine." Without warning, he stood up, still holding her by the hair, and flung her across the room with a merciless force. Asherly’s body hit the ground hard, skidding to a stop near the wall. She lay there for a moment, dazed, before looki
Wayne’s heart swelled with emotion as Kaylin began to explore his face with her hands, her fingers tracing his features with the careful curiosity of a child. She touched his nose, his lips, his eyes, all the while staring at him as if committing every detail to memory. Wayne looked up at Kaylar, his eyes filled with wonder and a hint of confusion. Kaylar just smiled, shrugging her shoulders slightly. "She’s figuring you out," she said with a soft laugh. "Kaylin, it’s dada. Say dada.""Dada," Kaylin echoed, her voice small and uncertain but filled with an unmistakable warmth.Wayne’s throat tightened as he choked back tears. He had missed so much of her life, and yet here she was, in his arms, accepting him without hesitation. "I’m back, Kaylin," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Dada’s back."He lifted her gently into his arms, holding her close as he rained kisses on her chubby little hands. The softness of her skin, the sweet scent of her baby lotion—it was all so over
