As Rich drove into the compound, he saw unfamiliar cars parked in the yard. He wondered if his mother was having a tea party but noticed that the cars had official government number plates. Bringing the car to a halt, he threw the keys to the butler who had come out to receive them and rushed in, totally forgetting about Liana. "What the hell is going on here?" He asked when he was stopped by a police officer in uniform. ******Hands was stealthy leading his troop in the dead of the night. Time was of the essence but he did not want to alert the neighborhood of their presence, not knowing the type of gang that they were up against. They had gotten a tip about a group of fishy-looking men within the proximity and they were hoping to catch them by surprise.They divided themselves into two groups, they entered the building and one group went into the elevator while the other group set themselves on the stairway, two per sta

Athena woke up to a relaxed evening. This was her third day of vacation and she wanted nothing more but to laze around all day and enjoy the local cuisine. She knew that a month of rest would take her back to factory settings and maybe change her perception of certain things.Like a lioness that was waking up from a nap after a sumptuous meal, she slowly walked to the window and opened it, taking in the early evening view. As she looked up at the cloudless sky, gazing at the twinkling stars, she thought of a long time ago when her life was carefree and full of laughter. The nearby houses were already lit, and children could be heard playing in the streets.Being a private investigator was beginning to take a toll on her and the last case made her restless for change. She had taken this vacation in a remote village so that she could have some reflection time and also focus on her training that had taken a back seat.A family had recruited her services to investigate the disappearance o

"I want my baby. Give me my back my baby!" Liana ran berserk and threw a glass at Cindy as soon as she saw her.Cindy had just come from calling Logan to give him an update on what had transpired at the hospital and also find out how Megan was doing.She was only going to inform Rich that she was heading back and as she entered Liana's VIP room, she was met by a glass narrowly missing her face and shattering into pieces behind her."There is a saying; may what you wish upon your enemy happen to you. Karma is yet to hit you." Cindy said as she entered the room.Liana, trembling with rage, pointed a shaky finger at her as she choked due to anger. She could only turn weakly to Rich for support as she tried to get up from the bed.Cindy, unbothered, turned to Rich. "I'm gone; I don't have time for this.""If you dare walk out that door..........""What will you do.....eh.......what will you do?"Cindy didn't even give him a chance to finish the sentence and started walking out."Come kill

"Benny!" Megan startled everyone as she shouted, clutching her heart as if in extreme pain."Megan... what's wrong?" Logan asked, noticing the agitation on her face."Benny is calling me! Can't you hear him? Benny is calling me!" She jumped up and rushed toward the main door, but one of the policemen restrained her before she could reach it.Frantically, she tried to break free, but Logan carried her back to the couch. Gently patting her back, he tried to calm her down and asked the maid to bring her a glass of water."Benny's calling me! My baby is in danger! Please, let me save him!" she cried, struggling to escape Logan's embrace."Oh, my baby, what's wrong?" Martha asked, tears streaming down her face once again.Bill could only watch helplessly, afraid his daughter might be losing her sanity.Rich gently pushed open the door and peeked inside to find Liana fast asleep. Although he wanted to question her about the arrest warrant, he didn’t want to disturb her rest, so he decided t

Logan always believed that he was a man made of steel, but seeing little Benny, who looked like he was peacefully asleep, made him crack. He had always thought that after Megan finally divorced Rich, he would adopt Benny and give him his name. He envisioned raising him like his own son, providing the fatherly love that Benny lacked from both his biological father and stepdad.Now, he faced the heavy burden of telling Megan about the loss, but before that, he was determined to catch the perpetrator responsible for it all. Back at the police station, he scrutinized the evidence they had gathered while awaiting the DNA results from the cigarette butts. The pathologist had also discovered scrapings of skin under the boy's fingernails, which had been sent for DNA testing.Everyone crowded around the medical geneticist as he walked in holding a red envelope. Because the case had been marked as urgent, he had put aside all his other work. The red envelope signified the importance of this
