It was almost mid day when Arthur drove into his mansion. He had just checked Edward into an hospital and watched him get attended to, he only left after he saw Edward asleep.Walking into the sitting room, he looked exhausted and most importantly famished. He made himself comfortable on the sofa, letting out a soft groan while Ms Jenkins approached him."Brunch is served, would you like to eat now?" Ms Jenkins asked politely."Oh please, I would appreciate that." He forcefully dragged himself out of the sofa. "Where is Bella?" He asking looking around. "Tell her to come join me." He added without waiting for a response and headed to the dinning."She is sleeping." Patricia replied forcing Arthur to stopped on his tracks. She walked down the stairs and wearing a smile on her face as she walked towards him, swinging her hips. Arthur stood transfixed as she he watched her approached him, she was soon standing in front of him showing her cleavage and her red hot lip. Everything about he

*Six months ago*Carla walked briskly into the General Manager's office, her heavy pants echoed throughout the room. "What's going on sir?" Her voice for shaky. "Are the rumours true." She asked as she held her sweaty hands together silently praying."I'm sorry Carla but we all should brace ourselves.""My career just started off, what am I suppose to do?""Carla, we're in dire straits. The station is folding, we have to salvage what is left of it."Her expression tightened, "Is there any way to salvage it?""The only option on the table is a merger with another company," The general manager replied, his tone reflecting the gravity of the situation.Carla's eyes flickered with concern. "A merger? Do we have any other choices?"The general manager sighed, "It's the only lifeline we've got. We either merge or face closure.""Do we have potential buyers sir?""They are potential offers on the table, I'm currently looking into their offers.""Before we dive into this merger, what about th

*Present*Tears rolled down Carla's face, she knew she had lost her way while following her passion and tainted it.The profession she once did with so much passion had been soiled with obsession the moment she took Amelia's hand and became her other arm.She took a sip of water to quench her thirst, "I should right my wrongs and be a someone I'm proud of." She told herself. "Enough of hiding behind another's shadow." She stood up to take her leave.She wasn't familiar with the Lorenzo's mansion and kept running in circles, fortunately she met with Ms Jenkins."Excuse me, please." Carla stopped her."How may I help you?" Ms Jenkins smiled at her."I'm heading out but can't seems go find out, kindly help me out."Ms Jenkins took a proper look at her, "come with me."The duo walked into the sitting room and found Arthur seated. "I'll take it from here. You can go, Ms Jenkins." Ms Jenkins nodded and excused herself."I'm ready to take my leave." Carla said."I doubt you ate anything.""I

Chapter 64

The interview had ended on a very tight note with nasty comments flooding the net. Arthur would never forget the triumphant look on Amelia's face but he kept his burning temper under control and made up his mind to meet with James.He never would've believed James would go to such extent to stop the engagement, somehow he knew doing something like that was not what James could pulled out on his own. Arthur was certain, Amelia must have reached out to him first and convince him to do the interview. He got to his car, when he received a message."God damn it." He cursed, he opened his car in a hurry and placed a call to Tyler. "What do you mean by he is missing?" he lashed out."He was slated for some test but no matter how much we look, he does not seems to be in this hospital.""Is there anything you guys can handle properly? At this rate, I'm going to get screwed by you guys before the media." Arthur roared at the top of his voice. "You'd better find him before I get there or I'll h

Chapter 65

Arthur mind was racing and it was racing so fast, he never would have believed in a thousand years that Patricia would be so important enough for James to have had her drawn. "What could be going on between this two?""You look so out of it." Lawrence's voice brought him back to reality."I'm.. fine." Arthur stuttered, sighing heavily. "I just want to catch my breathe." he admitted. "Do you want to go home first."Before Arthur could reply to Lawrence's question, Tyler and the rest of the team joined Arthur and Lawrence in James room."What did you find?" Arthur asked hastily."You're right boss, we found an unusual exit point with fresh footprints on them." Tyler showed Arthur a picture he had taken. "Considering James height, it's most likely to be his.""Get all the nearby CCTV footages you can lay your hands on and get them across to me immediately." Arthur ordered, waving his hand and dismissing them once again."Yes sir." Tyler and his team members responded before taking their

Chapter 66

Lawrence and Patricia exchanged a quick look, "what do you mean by who?" Lawrence gave out a short laugh. "I couldn't find her favourite pair of jewelry, that's what we were talking about." Uneasiness was written all over him knowing fully well Arthur won't let it go if he finds out about what is happening."Oh, poor Patricia." Bella walked towards her, buying the explanation. "What are we going to do now? I could give you one of mine though I'm afraid it might not be your style."Patricia smiled, "you shouldn't worry about a mere piece of jewelry, I've got loads of them and can always go home before the event to get a substitute. You should hurry up," pointing to the tray. "Arthur is waiting.""Oh right, I'll be back soon." Bella hasten her steps.Patricia nodded and watched her leave, "oh my god, that was close." She let out of the air she's been holding in."Because you were too loud, can you keep it low please?" Lawrence asked with a air of relief sweeping across his face. "How i

Bella noticed the awkward look on his face, "It's fine, I'll leave you to eat." She turned to leave him."Where are you going to?""I'm going to talk to Patricia, she is more lively than you are.""I can see you like her a lot.""Yes I do, as a matter of fact. I like her more than I like you, poker face." Bella rolled out her tongue."Is that suppose to make me feel jealous?" "Hmmmmm." Bella nodded her head smiling.Arthur took a very good look at the woman standing in front of him and realize she was too innocent for her own good, he wish he could talk to her and get the weigh off his chest but that would be transferring the burden to her, regardless, he needed some answers. He was going to be diplomatic I'm his approach. "We need to talk, Bella.""You should eat first.""Later, I have no appetite now." Holding her by the hand, "come with me." He led her out of the room."Where are we going to?"Arthur didn't reply but continued walking until they got the hallway filled with art wor

Chapter 68.

Arthur noticed a familiar car entering the tunnel but strangely didn't appear at the other side of the tunnel. He was certain he had earlier seen the car somewhere in the video.He rewinded one of the videos on the screen and discovered that the same car was seen parked very close to the hospital.His instincts kicked in, whispering something was definitely wrong somewhere. He zoomed in to see the face of the person behind the wheel but the face was masked. His eyes caught something, he zoomed in further, the masked man had the tattoo of a scorpion drawn on his right hand."Something is fishy," Arthur said as he paid keen attention to the video. "Passing through the tunnel should not take more than three minutes but there is not sign of this car coming out." He said aloud.Arthur was certain something big and mysterious must have happened in the tunnel. He took out his phone and dialed Tyler's phone. "Look at the terrains of gateway tunnel and report any suspicious movement. Get back

James groaned at the persistent sound of the beeping sound of machines, his head throbbing and weakness coursing through his body.Memories flooded back... he had been knocked out the moment he approached the car. He made an incoherent sound that was difficult to understand."Hello, friend." Fargo gave him a wave. "Finally, you're awake. You sure gave me a scare.""Who are you?" James asked slowly gazing at the stranger's enormous eyes who was towering over him, strangely he found him so familiar."Your guardian angel." Fargo replied smiling at him."Have we met before?" James replied looking confused."I don't think so, James." Fargo said, "but it's possible for you to have seen my picture on the television.""Television?" James attempted to make sense out of the situation. He hought hard, "Fargo." He slowly called out."I'm impressed you recognized me, Mr stone.""Why are you here?""What do you think?" Fargo casually shrugged his shoulders."Patricia, where is she?""Patricia? so th

Chapter 70

At long last, the anticipated day arrived. The entire place was buzzing and filled with exciting activities.Looking at his reflection, Arthur was satisfied with his look as he looked elegant in his fitted black suit. His height was enhanced by the richness of the deep black fabric, and his exquisite taste and attention to detail were demonstrated by the well-chosen tie and polished shoes."You look amazing, man." Lawrence praised him."Thank you." Arthur sighed."How do you feel?""Nervous.""You don't have to worry about anything." Lawrence gave him a back pat. "I've got you and though Edward is not around, we have great security in place.""Thanks for your hard work, it means a lot." "Don't mention, let's hope Tyler and team gets to find James as soon as possible."Hi guys," Approaching Arthur and Lawrence, Matilda looked stunning in a dress and stilettos."Hi Matilda, thanks for making it down here." Arthur said before giving her a hug and cheek kisses."The pleasure is mine."Mati
