The house manager directed Sasha to the house where old Mr. Johnson was resting in the lounge when she got to the mansion.

"Grandfather!" Cheerfully, she bowed in greeting as soon as she was in his presence.

"My child, welcome. Have you been crying?" The old man inquired watching her keenly.

"No grandfather, I had an eye infection, but it's better now." She responded touching her face. "How is your health?" She asked sitting on a chair beside him.

"I'm doing better now, thanks to the medicine and my good doctor's care." He answered, glancing at the middle aged man standing beside him.

"I'm glad you're better. I brought herbal tea, I know how much grandfather loves tea and it's also very helpful in lowering blood sugar." She said taking out a one kilo jar of chamomile tea from her bag. "My aunt told me about its rich health benefit and I thought of you so I had it imported right away." She said smiling shyly.

Tommy was busy with the cartoon he didn't notice his mother standing at the doorway. With a smile on her face, she watched him for a while imitating what was going on, on the big screen. "Mommy!" He said getting up to hug his mother when she joined him on the sofa. "Hello baby, what are you drawing?" She inquired taking his drawing book. "That lightning mc queen the fastest race car ever, look mommy." He said pointing to the winning red car on the big screen that he had drawn and colored. "It's the fastest car in that race, I want a car like that when I grow up. Mommy, do you think dad will buy it if I ask?" He asked looking at his mother. "I'll buy anything my son wants." Mark said walking into the room. "Daddy." Tommy ran to his father with open arms. Mark carried him in his arm's joining Melissa on the sofa. "Daddy look at my drawing." Tommy proudly gave his fa

    With Melissa's picture displayed on every social platform, Mark increased her security. He got people to follow her everywhere she went. He was afraid if identified, people may harass her, endangering her life. After dropping Tommy off at school, she went to the house renovation she was supervising. Checked the materials purchased, giving instructions where needed. Making sure her team was handling the work as planned, she asked Adams to stop at the mall to buy some items on her way to the apartment. At the apartment building, she requested her bodyguards to help her carry the boxes to the apartment door. Getting to the apartment, she pulled Lisa aside. Then she told her the plan to distract her bodyguards so she would leave the building without alerting them. Fifteen minutes later, she walked out through the building's back door wearing sports shoes, blue jeans with a white t-shirt. Hailing a taxi, she pulled her cap down, covering her face.

    Mr. Stevens sat in his office waiting to hear news about the day's operation. He had managed to stop Mr. Crack from talking to Melissa for the time being. But he still feared what extent Diana would go to to keep the secret hidden. "Was all the cargo delivered?" He inquired from Diana when she got to the office. "Yes daddy. They delivered everything on time." Diana confirmed pouring herself a drink. "Our little rat, did you catch it?" He asked sitting back, placing his work aside. He had set the whole thing up to see what Melissa would do. "No, no one showed up. After clearing the goods, I let two of my trusted men stand watch for any vehicles driving in but nothing. I guess she didn't bite the bait." Though their informant with the police had nothing to report, Diana hoped she would get a reason to attack Melissa. Luckily the taxi Melissa took drove off seconds before Diana's men got to the location. Missing her by a whisker. "Then we don't need to pursue her if she is not a t

    On the way to the meeting, Mark's assistant called asking him to go to the clubhouse for another meeting. As always the man sat in a dimly lit room concealing his face. Though Mark had men following his convoy, they didn't know his true identity or why he was helping them fight the organization. Every time they got close to finding out who he was, he managed to get rid of every piece of evidence they got. "How have you been son?" The grey haired man asked leaning back on his chair. "I'm well, but I guess you know since you have all the information about me. Why don't you stop the games and tell me what you are after." Mark blurted out taking a seat. "I want Melissa to be safe, keep her out of the limelight. Now she is your wife. You are responsible for her well-being." He said, twirling his walking stick. "Who is she to you? Why are you so interested in my wife?" Mark asked getting pissed off. "As I said, when the time is right you will find out, I'll tell her everything she n

    Melissa took some days off work to celebrate Tommy's birthday. Arranged her aunt's transport and security before leaving for the beach house. Sitting under the umbrella, Melissa's eyes sparkled. Her lips curved up watching Tommy play on the sandy beach. Running away whenever the water touched his feet. Giggling and screaming his father lifted him, walking him into the calm blue waters. "Hey, room for one more?" Joining them she fitted Tommy with a floater to him learn how to swim. "This is the best birthday ever." Tommy shouted wiping water from his face.His father taught him how to swim for the better part of the day, played around, running after each other. They built a sand castle and raced his toy cars on the sand. "Has he fallen asleep?" Mark asked standing behind the wheel sailing to the open sea for a fishing expedition. "Yes, he was so exhausted he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow." She said standing at the rail. Spreading her arms she tilted back her h

    With her renovation contract over, Melissa planned to get back to the shopping center. To inquire if anyone could give more information about what had happened to Mr. Crack. There were no leads on his whereabouts or the kidnappers, but his niece looked at ease. She did not bombard the police with questions as she had done when they found the taxi. And though his niece had asked her to stay out of it, Melissa was determined to end what she had started. Seated in the car as her bodyguard drove her back to the office, Melissa saw the truck she had seen back at the warehouse. Though they concealed the number plates, she noticed the same lily flower drawn on the left side. "Follow that car." Pointing at the truck, she instructed. Getting her phone, she called her husband. The truck drove smoothly, not realizing the two vehicles following them at a distance. When it drove inside the gated compound, Melissa's car and that of her bodyguards parked at a safe distance.

    With Mr. Crack missing and unable to locate the man who had last seen her father alive, Melissa lost all hope of getting the evidence she needed. She thought Mr. Stevens' illegal businesses would come to light when she found the truck, but it didn't. None of the casino managers mentioned him during the interrogation. And there was nothing linking them to the casino. "I'm I making all this up?" Massaging her temples, she thought of Diana. Seeing her calm and composed, left Melissa wondering if she had really seen Diana at the warehouse. All she wanted was to get her father's company back. To prove that Mr. Steven ran it down. But how was she to do that? Seated in the office, thinking of what to do, the receptionist called. She requested her to get an envelope dropped off by a courier serviceman.Scanning the white envelope in her hands, it surprised her to find no return address. When she called to inquire from the courier company who had sent it, they gave no information about

They squealed, pushing to hug the gorgeous bride. After a day of laughter and dancing, they escorted Jenifer and her husband out of the hotel. "There she is." The man in the car told his partner. Pointing at the group of people walking out, he checked the photo in his hands for confirmation. Blinking his eyes, the partner searched the crowd around the hotel's exit. "How do we get to her?" He asked, scratching his head scanning the area. Melissa, dressed in a sleeveless light green

She smiled, holding onto Mark’s arm, stopping him from leaving. “Yes Cassandra, let him have some rest first." Sasha’s mother took Cassandra’s hand forcing her to let go of Mark. “So sorry for that."

    At the states, Sasha sat opposite her mother and grandfather, biting her fingernails. She couldn’t dare look her grandfather in the eyes. “Please forgive me. I never meant for all this to happen. Mum!” When her mother overheard her phone conversation with Diana, she forced her to confess to her involvement in Melissa’s kidnapping. “I can’t believe you are capable of this Sasha. Do you see how your obsession with Mark has hurt people?” Her mother asked with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry!” She sniffed trying to hold her mother’s hand. “This is my fault. I pushed my daughter and granddaughter too hard. I turned them into heartless monsters. Being a Johnson was my dream and now my children suffer because of my greed.” Sasha’s grandfather said ashamed of what he had made them do. “No father, you only did it thinking of their well being. Don’t blame yourself father, they chose to force what was not working.” His eldest daughter tried to console him. “But I put the idea in them. How

    "They are moving, I have to get to Melissa." Mark glanced at the tracker in his hand. "We are almost there." Robert fastened his seat belt. "Once they pass the bridge it will be too late. Call Andrew and the police chief, they have to close the road." Mark instructed him. "I can't lose you again Melissa." He said to himself looking at the wedding ring on his left hand clutching the steering wheel. "Careful bro. We can't save her if we are dead." Seated beside Mark, Robert cautioned as he accelerated the speed. "We are running out of time, Robert. I promised to protect her." "And you will get her back." On the other side, David and his security team raided the house. They shot dead most of Diana's men, injuring several of them. "Where did they take my sister?" He beat up one of the guards but no matter how hard he hit him, he didn't say a thing. "Stop, you're going to kill him." The lady who helped Melissa shouted.

    "Ma'am, we have a problem." One of Diana's men got into the office out of breath. "Our men on the perimeter just informed me, there are several vehicles with armed men ending this way." "What? Are they police?" Diana asked as she gathered her things, stuffing them in a travel bag. "No, they look like the men from Edward's security." He explained. "Damn it. How did they find us?" She ran a hand through her hair. "What do we do now ma'am?" "Get my car ready. We have to get to the plane." She ordered walking out. "You think you can outsmart me?"

    When Melissa opened her eyes, she glanced from the blue bed sheets to the gray painting on the wall. With her hands and feet tied, she looked around the unfamiliar room. A few minutes later, the door opened inviting in a young lady carrying food and water on a tray, followed closely by one of Diana’s armed men. “Take some medicine for your head.” The lady instructed, handing her the glass of water and a white pill. “Please untie my hands.” Melissa requested which the man obliged to. Then cuffed her left hand on the bed. “Make sure you eat. I’ll come for the plate later.” The lady instructed, after making sure she had swallowed the pill. “Where is Diana? I want to see her. I demand to know if anyone survived the explosion. Hey, where is Diana?” She asked, but no one talked back to her. They left the room, locking the door. Curled on the bed, Melissa stared at the food for a while. Watching the explosion felt like her world had ended. She didn’t want to imagine life without Mar

Sasha wants us to meet for lunch. She needs my help with something.” She informed David after reading the message. “Are you sure it’s okay to meet with her alone? I can take you there.” David said, feeling restless about the meeting. “She is not that bad of a person when you get to know her and I have to be friendly with her for Mark. The two families are very close. Whether I like it or not, she will always be around whenever we go for any of Johnson’s family functions.” She said, trying to ease his worries. “The driver will take you. Be very careful.
