"What do you mean kidnapped?" She asked the person who spoke on the other side of the phone.

"Hello, hello!" She called as it seemed the call has been disconnected.

"What is it mam?" Asked her chef with a concerned look.

"Stacy has been kidnapped!" she replied before dashing out of the room.

" Mam, mam! " the officer called while following her as fast as he could since she was moving at a fast pace.

He finally caught up to her just before she could get into the car.

"Where are you going mam?" he asked her

She turned to him and replied,

"My assistant has been kidnapped, I just received a phone call from someone, I have to go now. "

" There isn't much you can do when you get there mam, I believe they have alerted the police at the unit, a group of detectives will be there as well, it's best you stay clear of the crime scene at least for now, " The officer suggested

" So you mean to say that I should stay here, while my assistant has been taken away by who knows who? " Kloe nagged, she wasn't ready to listen to the officer especially not in this scenario.

"I advise you to wait, mam, you still have to write a statement giving an account of...

"What do you mean a statement?" She interjected

"The culprit has been arrested, what do you need my statement for exactly, honestly Mr, I have to go, you could get all the statements you need from my other servants," She closed the door and started the engine and soon she hit the road.

She drove the only car on the road as it was one o'clock a. m, she sped through the highway and ignored every traffic sign she saw. Though she was scared at first being the only driver on the road she gained some confidence after seeing people on the road, at least one or two cars, and some clubs which were open all night.

Soon, she drove past these lively places and had to pass through a part surrounded by trees both on the left and the right sides, the streetlights were bright enough to lighten up the road but couldn't let you see what lurked behind those trees.

Having heard stories of security threats, she was skeptical about driving through it but there was no other way, she drove through it at a speed limit she never thought she would ever drive at.

She became more confident after driving halfway through it and from afar she saw a car driving toward her and she heaved a sigh of relief knowing she wasn't the only one on the road.

But her celebration was short-lived as the car came near to hers.

She knew that she drove at a high speed but they drove twice as fast as her making her wonder what was going on. Amidst her curiosity, she heard sirens, and in no time over four police cars drove past her.

"Could it be?" She thought before a cop stopped her.

"Turn around mam, this road is closed ."

"My friend has been kidnapped I have to go through please," She begged

" Oh it was your friend who got kidnapped, do not worry we are on the case but we can't let anyone go past here at the moment," He replied.

" But why?, it's not like I'm the one who kidnapped her...

"Mam please can you let us do our job, our team spotted the car and followed it immediately," Just before he could complete his statement, she dashed into the car and tried to turn around.

"What are you doing?" The officer asked in a loud voice

But Kloe paid no attention as she was focused on what she wanted to do next, after turning her car around successfully, she sped off hoping to catch up with the cars that had driven past her.

As she sped through, all her fears of the forest surrounding her on both sides were gone in an instant, all she could think of at the moment was catching up to the cars she had seen earlier.

"Why tonight, just why?" She questioned

Halfway out of the trail, she heard a gunshot from the trees by her left and her heart skipped a beat.

"Are they after me?" She thought as she increased her speed to a despicable kilometer per hour.

She drove without a care in the world or fear of a ghastly accident that may occur until she heard creaking sounds like a rough metal rubbing against another metal.

She tried to ignore it but notice that her car was moving slowly, she tried speeding up but the sound become louder and the car didn't go any faster. She stopped the engine and came out of the car hurriedly, she first looked around her to be sure no one was there before beginning her check.

As she moved around the car checking her tires, she discovered that the tire at the left side of the car which was fully pumped earlier was busted.

She concluded that the bullet was shot at her tire seeing how badly it was damaged.

She took a few steps back and increased her pace as she moved, soon she fully turned around running as fast as her leg could carry her not waiting to see if she was being chased or not.

She shivered from the cold wind from the trees blowing past her, no doubt there was a little stream nearby to emit such a cold breeze.

She was already stressed for the night so running was difficult to maintain at the speed she was going, she slowed down as her legs became weak and her heart began to beat rapidly like it would burst out of her chest soon.

As she slowly turned her running to jogging, her eyes missed a fallen branch in front of her, she tripped over it and fell to the ground sustaining bruises on her knees, elbow, and arms. With the pain she felt, she took time standing up and catching her breath but couldn't move her legs.

"Ouch!" She cried silently as her ankles joint were dislocated, what a bad time to have a dislocation and what a bad location.

    Could it be help? she wondered or could it be something worse about to happen? whatever it was Kloe prepared her mind towards it. She sat down there placing her head on her knee, she was stressed and tired and without the energy to lift herself from the tar.As the car drove near, she raised her hair only to discover that it was followed by four bikes, two in front and the other two behind, and then a second car that followed it from behind."Who could this be?" She wondered staring at the car as it approached her.The car eventually stopped and so did the bikes.Slowly, the tinted windows were brought down, it was dark and she could barely see who the driver was, she stared at the window until it was down completely, and with the inside light, she could see the face of the driver."Hello!"

    The car sped up and continued till they got to the exact point which led inside the woods."Why did we stop?" Kloe questioned.They alighted, casting quizzical looks at the officers."What going on?" Mr. Dwayne asked them with an attitude of impatience."They went this way," One of the officers on the bike replied pointing into the woods."They are inside there? I thought you told me that they have been found. " Mr. Dwayne asked getting annoyed." Dad, let's just go," Dan said."We can't drive in there, not with the size of our car," The driver complained leaving them disappointed once again."I know a route from the other side, though it's longer it's big enough to let even a truck in, "Another officer suggested."

    "Hurry up, please she must be fine!" Kloe yelled at the nurses without an iota of guilt in her voice."Calm down miss we will do the best we c..." Don't tell me that!" Kloe interjected,"Nothing and I repeat nothing must happen to her.""We assure you, mam, we will do our best, " The nurse replied with a reassuring smile before directing them toward the chairs.Kloe stood and watched as Stacy was taken from her presence on a hospital bed until she was out of sight.She sighed as tears trickled down her cheeks before sitting on the chair next to her."I'm surprised at you," Mr. Dwayne uttered without staring at her." I could only do what I can, I'm glad she was found," Kloe replied also without staring away from her fingers which had folded into a tight fist."Thank you," Mrs. Dwayne muttered to her surprise and she faked a smile in return." Thank you Kloe but I still have a question, what is the document they...James was Interrupted by a man who walked into the lobby in a haste."

    "Hello Miss, " She said to the nurse who replied to her with a broad smile which quickly changed as soon as she saw Kloe. "How may I help you?" The clerk asked in a less concerned manner." Uhm I just wanted to know, has any man been here today, this night in particular, he was stabbed in the arm," Kloe questioned her with confidence but disliked the irritating glare the clerk cast at her."No not at all," The clerk responded with a carefree demeanor, she smiled at first but raising her head to see the figure before her, she was speechless.She expected to see a wealthy billionaire lady asking for help, not some middle-class woman dressed in rags with bruises all over her face and body."She has come for a free medical treatment," The nurse thought without saying a word." What do you mean he is not here, I was told that he had been admitted at this same hospital, probably less than two hours ago, how could he not be here? " Kloe slightly raised her voice."

    "Karen Simone," Kloe whispered and quickly hung up the call, she didn't know why but it was probably a reflex action based on how she was feeling at the moment. "Are you okay Kloe? You seem lost for a second," Stacy's voice called her attention, she stepped out of the conference room to get something only to see Kloe holding onto the phone with a depressed expression. " Guess who just called me? "Kloe asked her. " Who, I can't think of anyone that will call you to make you look like this, did something bad happen? " Her face became worried as she answered. " Do you remember Karen? The one I told you about, from my campus days? " " The one that made your life a living hell on campus, which contributes to the reason for your success today? Then yes I remember her," " Hold on? " Stacy paused as if just remembered something. " Was she the one who called you?" She inquired and Kloe nodded affirmatively.

    "Who is she?" This was the first statement Max heard as soon as he entered his house, Karen was seated on the sofa, her face steaming with annoyance."Who are you talking about?" Max asked her, he was puzzled by the question even though he knew that Karen referred to Kloe, but he didn't know how she found out."Don't act foolish Max, you know who I am talking about, you were at Serene Lux hotel with her a few hours ago, and you don't need to ask me how I knew, look at this," she took out her phone and showed him a picture that caused his jaws to drop.It was a picture of him and Kloe as they got out of the car at Serene Lux Hotel, a friend of hers had taken the picture when she saw them at the hotel and sent it to her immediately.In the picture, he held hands with Kloe, although the camera did not capture Kloe's face because her back was turned away from the camera, Max's face was clear."That… " Let me guess," Karen interjected," A client?

    "Thank you for everything Max, and I promise, I'll get back to you, I just need to settle down with myself, I hope you understand," Kloe said to him wrapping her hand around him in a tight embrace.Max hugged her passionately, he had never felt more comfortable in the hands of a woman than he did with Kloe, she was someone he always loved to be around, but he was bummed when she declined his request to kiss her lips.He was embarrassed even remembering it but he was not aware of what came over him.As they walked out of the building, all eyes glared at them as always until they were seated inside the car.It was 5 pm when he dropped Kloe off at her house before leaving after giving her a broad and genuine smile.Once she had gone inside, Max rolled up the window and asked Rowan,"How do I get rid of Karen without being affected by my father's deal with her?""Sir I must be honest with you," Rowan retorted."That impossible," he added with a frown on his face.

    He took her hand and guided her towards the entrance, while Kloe tried to remain calm without thinking about anything stupid. She kept a smile on her face and responded to every greeting she received.Even though she was not extravagantly dressed, her beauty alone was an eye-catcher for most of the men in the building, even the women too stared at her, some with envious eyes and some without."Mr. Ben," the manager approached him."Yes, hello," Max greeted with a straight face."Please follow me this way sir, everything is ready like you requested," said the manager."I certainly hope that it is," Max retorted with closed teeth.They were led towards an exclusive elevator, reserved for people like Max, the elevator was luxurious, you don't even stand because there was a comfortable sofa inside where they sat, a cut of tea on a center table, a television for entertainment, and an air conditioner, getting rid of even the slightest moist inside the elevator.The elevator ride was short-l

    "I can't love her anymore," he thought to himself while sitting next to her in the back seat."She'll think that I am taking advantage of her because I saved her, God why does this have to happen, why wasn't she just a random lady that I met outside? I'll have to take it very slowly if I am going to get her to love me because for now, I think she is just very empathetic, but then there is my father's deal with Karen, I hate my life,""Damm, she's beautiful," he stared at her, being a man who had always been interested in a woman's physique and physiognomy, he found Kloe all-round attractive. His eyes trailed down her neck and he bit hard in his lips."Control yourself, idiot!" He yelled at his thoughts, he had never felt so attracted to a woman's body like he did at the moment.He refrained from looking down at her cleavages, knowing how weird his thoughts could get."You are quiet today," Kloe broke the silence between them, she had noticed how he stared at her but pretended not to.

    Indeed, even a hundred billion dollars was nothing to Max, he could make that amount of money with a single phone call, but Rowan had helped him to not be extravagant in spending as his father had instructed.Max's father was wealthy but wasn't extravagant, he didn't just spend money on whatever he wanted to and that had helped maintain his financial status, he believed that if Max could control how much he spent then he had gotten himself a perfect son to take over his company.While Rowan made the call, the manager reported that the place had already been lodged and that he couldn't send the occupants away, the current occupants had paid over seven hundred thousand dollars to stay there for the day.Rowan didn't know how to report this news to Max, but he had to anyway since there was nothing he could do."What does he mean by that?

"Hello mam, welcome, can I help you with something?" The bartender inquired politely."Yes, table twelve please, I need to see someone immediately," she said."Okay, follow me," the bartender uttered and took the lead.Kloe could feel her heartbeat rising as she followed him, she kept staring at people seated inside hoping to Max, but she didn't."Here mam, table twelve," The bartender announced whilst pulling out the chair for her to seat."He's not here yet, thank God I'm not so late," she assured herself and took a sit."Can I get you something to drink?"
