Today, my lingering sour mood from yesterday persisted, and I find myself secretly yearning for a day off to stay at home and wallow in my thoughts. However, deep down, I know that even if I had taken the day off, I would have inevitably grown bored within an hour and ended up coming to work. Despite Grace's comforting words, I couldn't shake off a lingering sense of apprehension about the possibility of my ex-in-laws making another disruptive visit to my house today. To counter this unease, I resolved to leave work earlier than usual so that I can return home in time to spend quality moments with my children before their bedtime.Strangely, I've come to realize that I miss Noah , despite having only met him twice. It's perplexing to feel this way toward a man whose phone number I angrily blocked. Why am I experiencing this longing now?With a sigh, I headed down to the main floor of my store to oversee my staff and assist customers, seeking solace in the busyness of my responsibiliti

Mrs. P trembled as she anxiously asked, "What should we do?" A Police officer directed her question towards me, "Have you contacted the Lady who usually picks them up from school?"Regrettably, I responded with a feeble voice, "No, I no longer possess her phone number."The Policeman persists, inquiring, "Do you have any other phone numbers of individuals residing in this household?""Yes," I inform him, "I have the parents' phone numbers.""Please, call one of them and inquire about the whereabouts of your children. If possible, record the conversation as it could potentially serve as valuable evidence later on," he instructs.My goodness! It's dawning on me that this situation is gradually transforming into a criminal case. Swiftly, I retrieved my phone from my purse, intending to call my former father-in-law. I dialed the number, but it rang continuously without an answer. I made two more attempts before surrendering in frustration."Try another number," Noah suggests, observing t

How does Noah manage it all? How does he effortlessly stay on top of his numerous thriving ventures without breaking a sweat? how does he find the time to indulge in personal pursuits, such as embarking on a daring rescue mission reminiscent of something out of a James Bond adventure, like the one we currently found ourselves in?"I've always had reservations about the idea of you hiring your girlfriend to work alongside you," Reina remarked, Noah expressed his disapproval as he asked. "Will you be issuing her a formal inquiry mistake?I raised my eyebrows in surprise at his unexpected question but chose to remain silent. It's not in my place to eavesdrop on their conversation, so I have no right to interject or be taken aback by what he's saying. It's a matter that doesn't concern me. However, I wonder if his question held a literal meaning or if it was a subtle understanding shared between him and Reina ."Handle it," he asserts firmly. "And I mean it, Rei. Resolve this issue promp

To our astonishment, the door abruptly swung open, and the Policemen stormed in without delay, demanding the people inside to raise their hands and kneel down. A sense of chaos filled the room, accompanied by a piercing scream from a woman, followed by the unsettling sound of a gunshot. My heart tightened in my chest, and I anxiously interlocked my fingers, fearing the worst. Has someone been wounded, or was it merely a warning shot? Are my children safe? What is unfolding within those walls?Noah 's phone began to ring, yet he paid no attention to it. Like me, his gaze remained fixed on the house, awaiting the next turn of events.The phone persists in ringing, exacerbating my already frayed nerves."Will you please answer that?" I inquired, my voice tinged with annoyance."Whoever it is can wait until I call them back later," he replied, keeping his gaze fixed on the house. Throughout the day, he has shown unwavering support, standing by my side and displaying genuine concern. It

I woke up with an incredible sense of refreshment and an unexpected wave of tranquility. The events of the previous night seemed like a distant blur, with the doctor bombarding me with numerous inquiries to gain a better understanding of my well-being. After receiving oral medication and an IV infusion, I now felt completely rejuvenated.As the sunlight gently seeped through the slits of the window blinds, I realized that morning has arrived, indicating that I slept peacefully throughout the night. While contemplating this, my thoughts drifted to my children. I wonder if Noah and the soldiers were successful in rescuing them. Are they still captive in Joey's fiancé's residence in Kirkland, or have they already been discreetly transported out of Seattle, heading towards Redmond ?Take a deep breath, Cassandra, I silently reassured myself. Everything will be alright.A soft knock on the door disrupted my thoughts, causing my heart to race with anticipation. "Yes?" I called out, filled w
