Five minutes later, the Nighthawk team swaggered back in and reported respectfully to Ryan.
"There were fifteen of them and they have all been taken care of."
"That was fast. You guys have improved again", Dan eyed them proudly while he saying this.
"Do you find out the room he put her in?," Justin asked in urgency. The 'he' didn't need to specified as they all knew who they were referring to.
"The master bedroom, it should be."
"Let's go then!", Dan said impatiently as he waved his hand.
They continued moving silently towards the master bedroom. They still couldn't stop their amazement at the inte
Nina couldn't care less that they had broke up or that he supposedly cheated on her, he was here for her and that was enough! She rushed towards him and hugged him violently while protecting her stomach carefully. She felt him stiffen in her embrace at first before he then tentatively reached out to hug her. Justin hugged her while still feeling stunned, he was suprised at the fact that she had embraced him of her own accord afterall he had yet to clear the air about how he supposedly cheated on her. Does.. that mean.. she had forgiven... him? Even though he actually did nothing to wrong her, he was the cause of her pain and heartbreak afterr all and he couldn't forgive himself for that. He vowed the day she had successfully became his girlfriend that he would always make her happy but he had broke his promise, although unintenti
Three months later Nina was rushed into the hospital by Justin and the rest of the family, her water had broke and she was about to go into labour. More than an hour later. A gorgeous middle aged woman in a doctor's white coat walked over them from the labour room. "Congratulations, Justin. Your wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl" Mrs. Brooke, The Walters' family friend announced with a smile on her face before turning to Mrs Walters and said teasingly, "The Walters now has a princess to spoil, Sasha". A wide smile spread out Justin's face lighting up his initial tense face. Mrs Walters, Selena, Sophie and Brian who just arrived all breathed out a sigh of relief before smiling happily. Mrs Walters tried to keep the smile of her face but alas! she failed, obvious from the curve of her lips and the shine in her eyes. She replied sincerely, "Thank you very much, Carol". "It's my job, Sasha, so no need fo
Selena her Porsche as she speeded towards the suburbs of City Nova, In the middle of which lies the piece of land of which an inch was worth more than gold.Standing tall over there alongside other mansions owned by the aristocratic families of Nova was the The Walter's Mansion.As she got close to the automatic gate which seperated these families from the rest of Nova, she slowed down and slightly tilted her upper body outside and waved at the video surveillance camera so that the personnel in the control room could visually confirm her identity.Moments later, the gate slided open and she drove in while the automatic gate closed behind her.She parked right in front of The Walter's Mansion, pushed her sports car door open and got down.She was a petite woman, 5'3'' tall. She was clad in a turtle-neck long sleeved white top which she tucked into her high-waisted bright red
An exquisite looking girl three or four-year old girl wearing a cute baby pink pajamas ran down the stairs excitedly into Nina's arms. Her nanny chased helplessly after her as she exhorted the little girl to stop running.Nina's heart had been suspended the moment she saw her daughter rushing down the stairs without care for her safety was finally able to be put back into place.The nanny finally arriving downstairs greeted Nina and Selena respectfully before saying remorsefully to Nina, "I am sorry, Young Mistress. I couldn't control Little Miss".Nina waved her hand so that the nanny could stand to the side, she was awfully familiar with her daughter's temper so she couldn't blame her nanny for not exactly doing her job.As she stared down at the little girl in her arms, she chided her seriously,"Emma, how many times have I warned you not to run on the stairs? What if you slipped? You aren'
Nina heaved a helpless sigh as she asked, "So what do you plan to do?"Selena replied her with an indifferent tone, "What else can I do but break up with him? It has been eight years already, I already wasted enough of my youth. It's about time I let go and face the fact that we both want different things."Nina was unexpectedly calm at her decision as she already had a guess of what she planned on doing, she had always been aware of her friend's decisiveness.It seemed that the eight years she and Ryan had spent together had made her to probably determine if their relationship was going anywhere and from the situation, what she determined and observed meant that he couldn't give her what she wanted. Therefore, there was only one option left, which was for them to separate!Selena was quite surprised at the fact that she remained calm in the face of her decision so she asked curiously,&
Justin didn't know what to say because he knew that Nina was right, Ryan would never allow Selena to leave him and if Selena's temper was like what Nina said, it's going to be a massive problem unless Ryan finds a way for both of them to compromise. "Although I am not sure about the reason he is being resistant to marriage, as her friend and sister, I only wish for her to find true happiness and initially I thought that he was gonna be the one to give it to her but now... I am not so sure. If he can't be the one to grant her happiness then I hope he let her go.." Justin's arms that were around her paused for a moment in the process of stroking her back but didn't say anything. Hearing no reply from him, Nina got up from his embrace and folded her arms across her chest as she faced him and asked, "So why are you not saying anything? Or do you think what I said was wrong?" She paused thoughtful
After leaving the Walters Mansion, Ryan had drove off to his penthouse in one of the building developed by W CORPS.The minute he had parked in the underground garage, he got out of the car and walked over to the passenger seat to open it.Selena stared at him complicatedly before sighing and getting out of the car. She stood in front of him as he gazed down at her with hooded eyes hiding the emotions in his eyes.Seeing that he wasn't moving, she took the initiative to walk towards the elevator, seconds later she heard his footsteps following behind her and her lips curled.Getting on the elevator, she familiarly pressed his floor's number as he came to stand side to side with her. He didnt talk and neither did she so the elevator fell silent, each of them with their own thoughts.The elevator dinged and they got off on the top floor, all of which was owned by him and watched by
On the other side of the door, Selena slid powerlessly down the door the moment the door closed behind her, tears fell silently from her eyes as she huddled her legs together and buried her face in between as choked sobs escaped from her lips. She felt slightly thankful in the middle of her cries that the whole top floor belonged to Ryan and because he liked quietness but most importantly, was being cautious allows no one but his trusted subordinates to come here and at this time, no one was there to witness her embarrassment. It will be a joke if found out that the proud and arrogant CEO of Globe Entertainment was crying after breaking up with her boyfriend! By then, where will she put her face? Her business rivals and those b*tches who have always been jealous of her will surely have a field day if they actually found out. But thankfully.... thankfully... She could cry here with abandon and no one will ever find out but she knew that after going away from here,
Inside the presidential, both sides of people sat facing each other in silence, with Selena, Ryan, Dan and Justin sitting on a single lounge chair and Ethan and Tyler sitting on another opposite them.Selena stole a glance at her brothers with had no intention of speaking to them since she had no idea what to say. But the current atmosphere was really awkward and for some reason, it made her tense...Thankfully, the heavens must have heard her pleas as someone finally took the lead and spoke up. "So.. were these the people who rescued you?", Ethan suddenly asked, sounding particularly curious.Selena who was a bit absentminded didn't realise at first that he was speaking to her until she felt several gazes on her. Only then did she finally react, "Yes.. they were the ones who came to rescue me."Ethan nodded at her words and when he looked at Ryan, Justin and Dan again, there was additional sincerity and gratefulness in his eyes."Thank you. You really did our family a great favor t
Around the same time as when Selena was hung up upon, in the most noble and central part of the Nova City, Mrs. Preston lowered her hand in which she held her phone with obvious joy and relief on her face. Her husband, Mr. Preston sitting right next to her had been able to grab bits of her conversation with the other person while she was on phone, and already had an idea on the reason for her happiness. But even so he still asked just to be sure."She is fine?"Mrs. Preston snapped out of her happiness and turned to face her dear husband to share the news with him excitedly, "Yes! Our daughter is fine. She is safe!"On hearing her his wife's affirmation, Mr. Preston's hanging heart finally fell back into place. But even though he was feeling relieved and light-hearted inside, nothing changed on the surface as he still had the same bland expression on his face as he nodded and said, "It's good that she is fine."Already used to her husband's inability to himself go and express how he t
At the same time, Ryan, Selena, Dan and Justin's group arrived at the space where the cars have been parked. The group separated and was about to get into their respective cars. However, right before she got into the car, Selena suddenly remembered that she hadn't called her parents since she left for Nova! A long time had passed since then and she knew her parents would have started to worry by now. But when she thought of taking out her phone to call them, only then did she remember that she hadn't seen her bag and suitcase at all after getting captured and to be honest, neither did she have the time to think about it at that time. "Ryan!", She quickly grabbed the corner of Ryan's shirt and said with some urgency in her voice. "Have you seen my bag and suitcase? I want to make a quick call to my parents to tell them that I have arrived back here safely."Justin who was about to get into the car alongside Dan paused on hearing Selena's words and finally remembered that he still had
The scar-faced man while feeling stunned watched as the woman who should still be in the abandoned warehouse swaggered towards him. However, the surprise on his face only lasted a few seconds as he was able to quickly collect himself before shifting attention to the men walking alongside her while putting her in a protective circle and immediately had a guess as to how the woman had been able to leave that place.Also, observing the men further, he noticed the familiar aura on their beings and immediately turned back to look at Dan and Justin who didn't look surprised at all to see either the woman or those men, in fact, they had an expression of relief on their faces instead.On the other hand, Ryan had long since lost his calm on seeing the woman. He stared fixedly at her as he took tentative steps forward towards her while clenching and unclenching his fists with a complicated expression on his face.Guilt, remorse, self-blame, anxiety and some expectation among others.He wanted t
After watching the scar-faced man leave with his subordinate, Selena focused on untying the rope that that bound her hands to the back with a hundred and twenty percent concentration.She hadn't been able to find any sharp object around her to cut the rope and could only try the method she had once seen in a short video while hoping that luck will be on her side.Selena blindly touched around around the knot before she began the untying. It was very difficult trying to do so while being unable to see what she was doing but she was also fortunate that, for probably the same reason why the scar-faced was being respectful and accommodating towards her, he had tied the rope quite loosely.This made things a lot more easier for her but even with that, Selena still had a hard time freeing herself. After all, ex-mercenaries had tied the knot so it definitely wouldn't be that easy to loosen it but she, who had no idea of this fact continued working diligently on the knot.Soon after, sweat be
Ryan looked at the scar-faced man with no warmth in his eyes and without mincing words, he said to him, "The woman you captured, I want her."Short and straight to the point, the scar-faced man thought to himself. However, after Ryan finished speaking, the already tense situation got even tenser as both sides tightened the hands on their guns. On seeing this, the scar-faced man wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere but when he accidentally met Ryan's frosty eyes, Dan's demonic smile and Justin's expressionless face, the smile that was about to surface instantly stiffened.He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and took the chance to glance at his subordinates who looked also at him with encouragement, their gazes telling him to snap back at Ryan and prove they weren't pushovers. Of course, those gazes belonged to his men who didn't recognize Ryan and Dan or know of their reputations. The ones who did were already signalling to him with their eyes to quickly compromise.The sca
Meanwhile, back in F nation, Mr. Preston put down the phone in his hands and turned to look at his inconsolable wife with a distressed expression flashing across his eyes. He sighed softly before taking her into his arms. His tone was unbearably soft as he wiped the tears in her face with unprecedented gentleness. "Our daughter will be fine, okay? She survived years ago when we lost her. She definitely will this tine around as well. We have to believe that she would...""Besides.. crying at this time would neither solve anything nor make things better for her wherever she is. Therefore, rather than crying and wallowing in sorrow, don't you think it's better to channel that energy into finding her ourselves after going down to Country Z?"The moment Mrs. Preston heard her usually taciturn husband saying those gentle but reasonable words, her tears instantly stopped. Then, without warning, she struggled lightly and got out of her husband's embrace and just as Mr. Preston was about to
However, Dan had to admit that Luke was really vicious and inhumane.After knowing Selena's background, he knew that that was probably going to be the end for him but still, he planned not to make Ryan feel better. This was because the message he had typed out was to instruct his men whom he had ordered to kidnap Selena to take turns r*ping her!It was obvious he wanted to take revenge on Ryan by doing that and make him feel everlasting pain and regret.At the same time, Dan also felt that Luke was really stupid considering that he still did that after knowing that Selena's family was the F Nation's Preston family who even the president of this country had to give some considerable respect to. And also, didn't it occur to him how miserable his life would be after sending that message because excluding what Ryan was going to do him, would the Preston family allow someone who had humiliated and hurt their newly found princess to run around unharmed?But maybe he did know all this, Dan m
"The Anderson family?" Which Anderson family?", Selena asked uncertainly.The scar-faced man looked at her in surprise, probably wondering why she seemed not to have any idea of the identity of the person who ordered her capture. But he still answered her truthfully, "The aristocratic family made up of officials."Shock and confusion appeared in Selena's eyes the moment he said that. She had heard of 'that' Anderson family and knew that almost all the members of this particular aristocratic family held offical positions in the government from generation to generation.However...She had no memory whatsoever of ever crossing paths or offending any member of the said family and therefore, couldn't understand why she was kidnapped.Even at this moment, it never crossed Selena's mind that Ryan's surname was Anderson as well and that her kidnapping was related to him in any way or that he was even the main reason. This was because the idea that he was an orphan like her(well, until recentl
