Harriett turned off the engine and pulled her seatbelt out before leaning in to pick Adrian from the back seat. Thankfully, she hadn’t been noticed by the newly engaged couple so she quickly shut the car door and walked towards them… really slowly. She held Addison in her arms and let Adrian walk on his own which was him pretty much running as he couldn’t wait to meet his father. Damien parked his car and was about stepping out when he saw a woman and two children. When he looked further, he realized that it was none other than Harriett and his children. Damien felt his heart jump out of his chest as instant fear gripped him but, he maintained his composure nonetheless.Evelyn, on the other hand, saw that his attention was fixed at a particular direction and turned to see what it was that he was so focused on. When she did, she was met with a very pleasing sight. Today would make it a week since the challenge was made and Harriett was still unable to make Damien get on his knees. Ins

Harriet dropped the twins off at the kindergarten before driving to work. All through the working hours, she found herself unable to focus as her thoughts kept drifting to a certain ex-husband of hers and his new fiancé. “Miss Edwards?” Collin tapped the door softly for the umpteenth time until he was finally able to get her attention. “Collin. What is it?” She cleared her throat and readjusted her posture, wondering if he had been there for a long time. She hated how much she had been zoning out at work. “You can call it a day, Miss. I already cleared your schedule for the afternoon and evening so, you can go home. You don’t really look so good.” Collin said genuinely as he watched her tired eyes stare at him. He had been watching her since she arrived and without anyone telling him, he knew that she won’t be able to work properly as she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Leaving the office early wasn’t going to affect her either as she had already taken care of most of the week’s

“She was with children. I suggest we kill them if we don’t want any problems. What do you say?” The man said over the phone.“What?” Evelyn screamed, pulling her hair harshly out of annoyance. “Are you stupid or you’re just trying to ruin me?” She groaned. Evelyn wasn’t stupid. She knew how much Damien cherished his children and if news reaches him about their disappearance, he would go to the ends of the earth to find them. As far as she was concerned, this man has made a big mistake by taking the kids with him.“I couldn’t kidnap the woman and leave the children, that’ll be fucking suspicious! They’ll instantly know that whoever did it was only after Harriett.” He explained, trying to bail himself out of the situation.“You should have been careful! How on earth will you kidnap her on her back from a kindergarten and think that she wouldn’t be with children? What are you, an idiot?” She complained angrily. One thing Evelyn knew so well about Damien was that he doesn’t jok

“Alright. I am calling from Brooklyn Street. We found a set of twins by the roadside who had a picture of you and a lady in their pockets, along with your phone number. Are these your children?” The lady asked and Damien felt his heart seize. “Daddy? Is that you?” Adrian’s tiny voice said through the phone and a tear immediately dropped from Damien’s eyes. He was happy that his children had been found but at the same time he was furious that they were abandoned on a street all by themselves. “Harriet. Is there a woman with them?” He asked immediately, crossing his fingers as he hoped that his ex-wife would also be with them. “No, sir. I found them sitting all by themselves around the corner. Please get here as fast as you can.” She replied. Damien’s happiness was cut short upon hearing that Harriett had still not been found. Now, he was completely sure that it was Evelyn’s doing because she knew how much he loved his children. Damien hit his steering wheel angrily and was about i

Harriet ran with the nurses who were carrying Damien’s body out of the building, her legs moving swiftly even though her mind was completely blank. Uncontrollable tears kept falling from her eyes as she stared at Damien’s body which was already covered with blood. Even after doing her best to stop the bleeding at the building, it didn’t work as it kept gushing out nonstop. She was scared that he would die as he had been shot really close to his heart. She joined the nurses in the ambulance and for the first time in a long time, Harriett started muttering prayers to God. The nurses began the process of stopping the bleeding while they were still in the ambulance, driving at an impossible speed to the hospital.They knew that Damien Daniels was a VIP patient and his life had to be saved. Eric who had come with the police, was in a state of confusion. He didn’t know if it would be a wise idea to call his parents. But then, it’s Damien Daniels, one of the most popular men in New York. T
