Those words sank into my heart, causing my heart a lot of pain. I looked up at Lucas, his eyes were also on me. I needed help, not just from any person, but from him. As if he knew what was going on in my mind, he stood from his seat and walked towards me. His palms were cold, and as he hugged me, I felt his heart pumping faster than normal. I felt a liquid drop from his face to my head, I looked up from his chest, I thought he had shaded tears, but it was just his sweat. I wasn't disappointed, the sweat was more than tears. It makes me know how touched he was, how well he understands how I'm feeling, and how willing he is to help me. Because if not so, what would make a healthy man sweat in an AC room?"Pls help me, Lucas, I don't want to lose my mum." "Not a string of her hair will miss. I promise you that." He was so sure, I could feel it, from his voice I believed him. He turned to the guy sitting next to me."Where did the call come from?""Block 432 Enfield, Sir." He nodded a

LucasThroughout the day, she was on my mind. I have waited for 2 weeks for her, and finally she will return. The excitement of seeing her again was all over me, my face was bright, and I seemed happier than before. I was in a meeting with the former directors of Paxacon. Paxacon Oil and gas company is one of the subsidiaries of The Triple Friends group of companies, and it has been added to my management. I resumed 3 days ago, I needed to meet with the former runners of the company and discuss everything I need to know about it. I joined the meeting immediately after I entered the office since it was scheduled for 8 am. I have been in the conference room with them for a couple of hours.I had to end the meeting at once after Mr. Philip whispers that my wife is waiting at the door. To crown it all, he said she looked timid. I know I will not focus even if I force myself to be. I adjourned the meeting and asked him to bring her in. I felt a sharp pain filter through my spine to my brai

A flash of panic hints on my face as the TV goes blind before me. I needed to do something, I can't just stand here and wait for a miracle. First, it was my mother, now it's my husband. What will happen to me If anything bad happens to them? I would have not just stayed back, had faith that Lucas could handle the deadly gang stars all by himself. Where will I start from? How will I be of help? I slide my hand into my hair as I think of what to do. I was uneasy, walking around the sitting room like a mad woman. No one would see me and not think of me that way. "What would I do if they were captured? I would find the secret place where they hid them and rescue them." I thought to myself. Now, if my thoughts are correct, how will I find the hidden place? My brain was not helping at all, the thoughts that came were negative all through."But the broadcaster said there was a shooting in Enfield, what would happen next if Lucas was shot?" I started analyzing again. "Certainly, Lucas would

Helen's POVMy bones ached, Buzz had pounded me, and his beatings were brief because he feared I might die and his mission to make Lucas succumb would be aborted. "You've had enough, for now, but I must apologize for not giving you the same beatings Lucas gave me." He started a cruel laugh. There was a pause when one of his men approached and whispered in his ears."Quick, cover her up and put her in the cell." He ordered before walking out of the room. Just as Buzz had ordered, one of his men immediately grabbed me by my shoulder and dragged me out of the room. It was then I knew that I was on a sailing cruise ship. The cold breeze gave me goosebumps. When I saw the water, my stomach rumbled, and I threw out chunks of what I didn't remember eating. "Filthy slut, come over here" I felt a heavy blow on my neck and I lost balance and fell to the ground. He wrapped my hair around his palm and pulled me to himself. I howled in pain but he ignored my voice. He signals another guard."Y

Helen POVStanding head to head, eyeballs to eyeballs I could feel Lucas's anger. His eyes have narrowed. That wasn't a good sign. If his anger gets over him, we all will be dead. His men were a distance away. There's no way they will reach us before Buzz men who were already on standby with their guns pointed at them pull the trigger.Tears escaped my eyes. Before me, Buzz had vowed to make sure Lucas felt the same pain he felt. With the way he held his eyes, I noticed he was dead serious. Buzz smirked and stepped backward avoiding Lucas's forehead which had almost scratched his face."You are quite brave for a man. I admire that. But your snare can not move me an inch, it can not stop the mission either." Lucas maintained a calm aura, he looked up at me and I begged him immediately to turn back and go."It's better to die alone than to die with you, Lucas. Run, please, save yourself so you can take care of my mother." Lucas's eyes became wet as he fixed his gaze on me, ignoring the
