Now I was here again to look at her, she looked so beautiful just as always."Move the vehicle" I said, letting out a depressive sigh. I had seen enough, having her struggling made me feel terrible. She hated me that much to leave the life of wealth and luxury I had created for her."Boss I know you haven't seen enough, let's watch some more. You shouldn't be in a hurry" Zadok said " Any news on the child?" I couldn't help but ask."Boss, we've found out nothing yet, we are still digging in. It seems someone is blocking the information. And you had instructed that no one trails her," Zadok reported, frustration evident in his voice. I leaned against my desk, deep in thought.Who could be blocking my Intel? But now, it seemed like someone was actively working against me, making it even more challenging to uncover the tru
Ethan's POVAlighting from the vehicle I glanced at my office building. A lot has been happening to me lately, the shareholders had collectively decided to hold a meeting. I had a feeling that Mr. Lee was behind it all but I didn't care. Walking Into the building, my bodyguards, the secretary and my personal assistant followed behind me. Zadok was beside me giving me the latest updates about the shareholder's business. I hastened my pace, I had just walked past the reception section when something strange happened. Everyone around me gasped in fear, they knew how much I hated being bumped into by anyone. I furrowed my brows in anger "Are you Bl–" I was half way through my statement when I saw the person that had bumped into me– it was a little boy. I was shocked to see the little child, what could he be looking for here? How did he get here? What could a child be looking for in my company? I couldn't possibly shout at him, he had his face facing the ground. Getting up abruptly, he d

I fekt relieved, I thought he took my words to heart.Suddenly my phone rang distorting the silence. I had to move away to a distance to pick the call.

I was careless, please forgive me" Valerie said sounding panicked.My heart skipped a beat, "what happen, where are you? Where are the kids?"I couldn't help but ask. Her words just now sounded like something bad had happened. Val
Emily's POVMy heart came to a stop, I became afraid. This was the man my son had spoken about. I felt his eyes all over me, my grip on Nathan tightened. " Mom, you're hurting me," Nathan said.His voice brought me back from my state of shock. I had no idea it was hurting him. " Let's go home" I said, dragging my son Forward but Nathan was reluctant to leave. "Mom, I have to say thank you to Uncle, he bought me ice cream. I can't just leave." Nathan said, losing my hold on him." Shut up, what's wrong with you? Just because of a total stranger you are going against my command? Let's go home." I shouted, glaring at my son angrily. Ethan was just a stranger to him, he had no right to refute my words.I saw the look of shock on my little boy's face, my heart clenched in pain. I had never spoken to him in such a manner. He became very quiet and obedient. I held his little hands, about to leave the reception. Suddenly Ethan held my hands , my body shook in fright. I was scared he was goi

" There she is" He said, stretching out his hands towards me. "Daddy" I said with a smile as I held his hands. " This is Mr. Vinx," My father said, introducing me to the stranger. "Mr. Vinx, it's a pleasure having you here in our home. I've heard so much about you." I said stretching my hands towards him for a handshake. Vinx chuckled.

His eyes were captivating, making me shiver at every thought of him. The thought of Ethan's maltreatment came to mind. I had loved no man but Ethan, I had dreamed of my marriage with him for years. But what did he do? He stabbed me in the back choosing that low life tramp over me. I wasn't going
Ethan's POV It was almost evening, I was still at the office, my secretary entered my office to discuss about our company issue and the schedule we had planned and arranged for the next day. "Get the hell out" I angrily shouted at her, though I know it was her duty to remind me of the company's schedules and plans, or whatever meeting we would be having. But with who I saw about two hours ago, I couldn't bear it. I was so confused and didn't know what to do, I wasn't even thinking straight.He was just like me Nathan and the little girl looked identical. Their looks, appearance, everything.That could be my child, what was i thinking? How comes it didn't occur to me at that moment?I could have known! I could have known better. If only I had known I would have found a way to locate them. Spend time with my kids and show love and affection towards them, telling them I am their father, regardless of what Emily thinks of me.This is all my fault! I kept thinking all through feeling remors
Valerie's POVA few weeks have already passed, and everything is back to normal. I had spoken to Emily and she had finally dropped her plans to run away. And just like I had told her, Ethan didn't send some men after us. We were now living happily like a family.Emily had taken time to calm herself down, she was back to her normal job routine. Emily was indeed one of the best mothers in the world. After the incident had happened, I took the kids to school, while their mom went to work as usual. Because she's always caught up with work and busy too. The Interview I had gone to at Ethan's company had called to ask me to start the job but I was still thinking about it. If they were going to employ me, it had to be because of my qualifications not because of the bastard's approval. I wasn't seeking his favor, I had masters I. business Administration, so I wasn't begging to be employed. So I had free time and decided to take them to school. " Auntie, you tied the tie wrongly" Nathan sai
Valerie POVI could hear the silence at the other end, I couldn't stop crying. My head felt so painful " Ma'am you would bleed out again, we just stitched your head. " The doctor said, sounding a warning. How was my head compared to the safety of the kids "Emily, " I shouted." Valerie, tell me you are joking? It's a joke right? You must be joking, it has to be a joke " Emily said, I held my breath, my heart skipped a beat." I am not joking, I would never joke with such a thing "Emily interrupted my speech when I wanted giving her a full explanation. "Shut up! You can't be serious. This was the same way you called when Nathan got missing at the company. Now you are not in the company, and you're calling me with someone else's number just to play a prank on me? This joke is very expensive." She said angrily. Hearing how silent I was and how I kept crying, Emily understood that I was serious. "I told you to be very careful when it comes to handling the kids, Just the last time , I ha
Emily's POVI was shocked to find out the culprit who was behind my children's kidnapping. The most shocking news to me was their death. I felt so sad, I couldn't believe my ears. Chloe Lee and Ethan's mother were dead. My heart felt so sorry for them, Ethan told me all there is to know about his underground business, the love I had for him was far greater than all that. My kids and I paid a visit to the hospital, taking care of Valerie. Luckily she was becoming responsive to treatment, she was healing faster, I had nothing to worry about. Surprisingly, Zadok would also follow us to the hospital to keep Valerie company. " You don't need to come here everyday, I'm okay," Valerie said with a smile." I just came here to give you the good news, Ethan proposed and I accepted" I said jumping up excitedly."Of course he has too, if he doesn't get married to you, he would be losing out for life" Valerie said proudly. Hearing this I chuckled. " You are really a pain in my ass, I would only
Zadok POVThe gun shots must have been so loud and it must have scared them. Nathan had some bruises on his body, but he was brave and didn't complain. But the culprit wasn't going to stay alive, I was certain that my boss wouldn't spare them. They would be dead. I stretched out my hands towards them, losing the ropes around them. Luckily, my men were everywhere. We had the blueprint of the whole place. There was no way for them to escape. Emma was still hiding behind him, clutching his shirt. She was too traumatized to speak or look at me. She had seen things no child should ever see.I reached out to her, hoping to comfort her. But she flinched and turned away, as if I was one of them. She didn't trust me " Emma, I am here to help you." I said.She didn't trust anyone."Emma, uncle is here to help, I came here together with your Dad. Come with me, I am here to save you." I pleaded. "My dad is dead, mama said I shouldn't ever go with strangers " She said, she was already shivering
Chloe POVLooking around I couldn't comprehend what was happening. My men were being shot, they were dropping dead. " Mistress , we've been surrounded, you should leave, it's no longer safe" one of my guards announced. Hearing this my heart skipped a beat. Emma was crying loudly, this made me more confused. " Shut the fuck up" I shouted. I couldn't help it. I needed some time to think."What! " Penelope screamed out in horror. Her face suddenly turned pale. " We can't just leave, get it over and done with" She said glaring at the guard. "Auntie, we've been surrounded. We need to leave, " I said looking at her. We were already surrounded and all she could think about was killing Nathan? I didn't need to be told trying to lay hands on the kids would be committing suicide, my men earlier has been shot with a sniper."Mistress, you have to leave," My guard said, leading the way towards the back door. My men rushed inside to get some weapons and rushed out again fully armed. The sound of
Ethan's POV I remember telling myself that it could be Chloe behind all this but I wasn't too sure about it. She had bluntly denied the whole thing and Emily had saved her from my grasp.After the conversation between my Dad and I, I quickly rushed home to see what I could do. I had to keep an eye on Emily, someone could try to kure her out of my mansion. I couldn't let that happen. From the looks of things I was sure Chloe Lee and Penelope had something to do with my children's kidnap.If I don't get any useful information about our kids to tell to Emily, she will be so worried and restless, I had to be with her."Zadok," I called out for my right hand man immediately I got home. He must have some information for me, regarding my kids."Zadok, You Haven't given me any update about my children. I had given you the permission to turn the city upside down and get the whereabouts of my kids. What's happening? Have you trailed Chloe? I want you to know what to do next, so tell me, wha
Ethan POVWalking into the hospital, I could see how Valerie was wrapped up in bandage. Seeing me she git up abruptly from the bed "Did you find them?" She asked.I was amazed, she was in such a state but all she was worried about was my kids. Emily walked up to her bed and sat beside her. " There are currently searching the whole city, turning it upside down, trust me. We would find them" Emily said comforting her, I knew how worried she was herself, all my promise to find our kids were falling on deaf ears. But here she was comforting Valerie.Hearing this Valerie heave a sigh of relief. " Ethan has cleared all your medical bills" Emily announced." You are a bastard, but I know you would find my little babies" Valerie said looking at me. Her words cut me off guard, was that a compliment or an insult? "I would be taking her back to my house to get some rest" I said looking at Valerie, she gave me a nod and holding Emily, we left the hospital.Arriving at my mansion, Emily looked ar
Chloe POV"You both are so cute, I wished I was the one that gave birth to such beautiful kids" I said smiling broadly at the two lovely kids. Though they looked scared, I didn't feel sorry for them, if there was anyone they had to blame then it had to be Emily, their mother. " Auntie, please let us go. I promise I wouldn't say a word to anyone" Emma pleaded, she had been crying for a long time now."Stop the tears, just like I said I wouldn't hurt you. I just want to teach your mom a lesson. I had warned her but she just wouldn't listen" I said with a frown. If I had known that she was pregnant with twins, I would have aborted the children by all means." Please auntie, there's still good inside you. Whatever my mom did to you, you can forgive her and move on"'The little girl continued. Her words made me speechless, she was just as innocent as I thought. " Darling, I wish I could, moving on isn't as easy as you think, '' I replied with a smile. " Now let's have a nice meal, I bought
Chloe pov...I held trance my hands on my neck feeling the pain I had felt earlier when he had clenched my neck, like I was nothing to him. "What a bitch!" I said angrily. Emily was there acting like my hero, she was nothing but a low life tramp. I would have killed her when I had the chance, but what did I do? I foolishly let her go.. moving away from Ethan's office, I had a smirk on my face, their peaceful days were over, this is Just a tip of an iceberg, there was more to come. This was just the beginning, when I am done with them, Emily would regret ever meeting me or Ethan.I brought my phone and made a call. "What's the update?""Mistress, everything is just as you had planned it. That fool Zadokehad ran a check on your movement but he hasn't found anything and trust me mistress he wouldn't find a thing. You had really been shopping the whole time" My guard on the other hand said. "Good, I would have to be cautious about my movement. Ethan had nearly killed me but not to worry
Ethan's POVLooking at those beautiful eyes, I was short of words. I knew from the look in her eyes that she believed my words. " I wasn't going to marry Chloe, I was just acting based on what my mom wanted. She had threatened me with her life, It's you I love. If I didn't love you I would have been married to her by now. I love you so much Emily, and I have never loved any woman like the way I love you. I have never felt the same way for any woman. When you left I turned the city upside down, I ran wild and mad with rage..I didn't want you to misunderstand me or hate me" I explained. Emily looked directly into my eyes. I could lie with words but the eyes never lie. I knew she was finding answers inside of them." I thought you wanted to take my kids away from me after birth, when I heard those things my heart shattered into a thousand pieces" Emily said walking over to the couch. She had sadness written all over her face. I knew she had a lot she wanted to say, so I stayed quiet as I
Emily POV "I have to see him, it's a matter of emergency. Move aside" I said looking at the assistant who was blocking my path. " It's about my kids, they've kidnapped my kids" I said at the verge of tears. "I promise you, you won't lose your Job " I said sincerely. Hearing that she moved out of my path, I rushed Into the elevator, heading to the top floor, where Ethan's office was located. This was the same office I had run into many years ago to sign the contract and save my mother's life. This was the same state I was in then. It seems history was repeating itself in an entirely different format.After all the restlessness, I couldn't think straight, neither could I figure out what to do next. I decided to go seek Ethan's help, I needed his help to help me find my kids, I believe he can be of help in some ways just like Valerie said.On getting to his office, I called out his name, raising my voice. I was halfway to his office. I knew he must have heard me. Seems like he was bu
