Chapter 121~ DNA test

Oliver Ford hadn't slept a wink in the last two days. Refusing to sit still and wait for news, he decided to join the team looking for Claire. In the last hours that she was missing, he had turned the City upside down looking for her. He had men looking in every corner of the city and some were looking in the nearby cities. However, footage from the tollgates and information from the airport didn't have any information about Claire Hamilton leaving the city. This meant she was still in Brentwood City. But where? They had looked everywhere and interrogating Jessica seemed futile since the latter refused to say anything.Oliver went to the extent of going to every house of someone who knew Claire to search for her but he found nothing. "Dante, have your men found anything?" Oliver desperately asked Dante on the phone. He was the family friend who helped him find Thalia when she was kidnapped. Unfortunately, this time, not even the Mafia could find any lead about Claire's disappearan

Chapter 122~ Searching blindly

“According to the DNA results, the body doesn’t belong to Claire,” Jake announced and Quinn heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh my god!” She remarked and unwittingly threw her arms around his neck, hugging him. “I was so worried.” Jake didn’t expect the sudden hug so his arms hang in there. He didn’t know whether to wrap them around Quinn or to just let her do her thing. However, he inwardly admitted that the hug felt good. Quinn’s body was soft and warm against his. She smelled good too. Like lilies. Jake fought the urge to bury his face in the crook of Quinn’s neck and take a long whiff. He knew she probably didn’t know what she was doing so he just patted her back gently, saying, “It’s such a relief. Now we just have to hope we find her soon.” Quinn pulled away, tears brimming her eyes. She pouted before the dam broke and big fat tears rolled down her cheeks. Jake panicked. His eyes slightly widened as he asked, “Hey, what’s wrong?” Quinn shook her head, wiping her tears. She rem

Chapter 123~ Pleading

A month later…“Bro, we are almost at the base. We need to be careful, they might know we are coming,” Dante whispered to Oliver as they stealthily made their way to an abandoned building. “The more reason we should hurry. They might sneak the victims out before we get there,” Oliver said, his jaws clenching. He had a pistol in his hands while he wore a bulletproof vest just like the rest of the team. For the last four weeks, Oliver took a break from work and dedicated his time to searching for Claire. Since they couldn’t find her anywhere, they assumed she had been kidnapped by human traffickers. That was the only logical explanation for her disappearance. So, Oliver and Dante raided every hidden base of the traffickers they had found in the city. Nevertheless, each base that they raided didn’t have any signs of Claire. Although they had managed to rescue other women and children, Oliver was sad that he had yet to find his wife. They got closer to the building and Dante gave a

Chapter 124~ Shot

“I’ll find you a nurse,” Wesley said, his eyes widening as he stared at the blood seeping through Claire’s clothes. “I’m a-afraid I’ll be d-dead by then, W-Wesley… I know you’re s-scared of being caught... but... this might be your turning point. The Wesley... I know i-is a good man. I need to go to the hospital,” Claire remarked with difficulty, her face covered in sweat. 'A good man? I've never been good in my life,' Wesley thought and scoffed. 'There's no turning point for me.'“I’m sure you’re just on your period,” Wesley replied and left the basement, crushing Claire's hope of leaving that place. Claire sighed, biting her lower lip as though it would ease the pain in her belly. Her heart raced when she thought about why she could be in so much pain and bleeding at the same time. ‘Could I be…? No… I hope not,’ she mused knowing what it meant to bleed if her assumptions were correct. Thirty minutes later, Wesley returned with a nurse. He pointed a gun at the scared woman and or

Chapter 125~ Emergency room

Hours earlier...One of the investigators that Oliver had placed to watch and follow Wesley Crawford reported that he was acting suspiciously. "What is he up to?" Oliver asked with narrowed eyes. Even though he didn't find anything in Wesley's house, Oliver didn't stop suspecting him. Wesley was one of the people who would have a motive to kidnap Claire. Perhaps he was working with Jessica's accomplice or maybe he was the accomplice. Oliver had no evidence to bring Welsey in for questioning so all he could do was keep an eye on his every move. "He keeps getting painkillers from different pharmacies. I find that behavior odd, sir," Steve reported.Oliver's eyes squinted thoughtfully. He instructed, "Keep following him. If anything suspicious comes up, call me.""Noted, sir," Steve replied. Oliver went home briefly to see his daughter. After having supper because he needed the strength to continue searching for Claire, he received a call from Steve again. "This Wesley guy just boug

Chapter 126~ These hard times

The women gasped."Bad news?" Roxanne asked, her heart pounding rapidly. Henry Ford furrowed his eyebrows. He gulped and quizzed the doctor. "What do you mean by bad news?" Doctor Philip glanced at the worried faces. He sighed and replied, "Mr Ford's surgery was successful but he's in a coma. We are not sure if he will wake up or not. It's a fifty-fifty chance."Henry Ford and Roxanne shared a worried look, pain evident in their eyes. In short, their son's life was still in danger and they had no way of knowing if he would survive. "And Claire?" Katherine and Quinn asked at the same time. "Well... she shouldn't have gotten pregnant if she knew she had fibroids. Now she's got a high risk of losing the pregnancy-""She's pregnant?!"They all asked in unison before sharing worried looks as they thought the same thing. How was Claire going to cope with this high-risk pregnancy knowing her husband was in a coma?"Doctor, I too have fibroids but I usually take medication to reduce them a

Chapter 127~ Something to tell you

The news of what had happened at Wesley’s villa spread like a wild forest fire. Soon, his parents got wind of what had happened to him after the police called them to report the situation. Julian Crawford was in the study when he received the news. “What? My son is dead? How? He wasn’t ill... What happened?”Julian was shocked to find out what had really transpired. It turned out Wesley had found out about his brother before Julian could introduce them to each other. Not just that, Wesley had gone ahead and kidnapped Oliver Ford’s wife out of rage. Julian didn’t expect his second son to be that greedy and malicious. Perhaps the apple didn’t fall far from the tree indeed. After all, Julian himself had done a lot of things in the last six years that he wasn't proud of. Finding his wife, Diana Crawford, Julian glanced at her and relayed the news. He glared at her and said, “Are you the one who made Wesley want to fight against his brother? He's dead now and it's all your fought.”At

Chapter 128~ Support

Roxanne shared worried looks with the other women in the ward. She sat on the other side of the bed and held Claire’s hand. For a moment, Roxanne kept sighing as sadness crept into her. She glanced at Claire and asked, “Sweetheart, did that man… did he…” Roxanne sighed again, unable to voice her words. Would it be too insensitive to question Claire about it? She had been wanting to ask if her kidnapper had disrespected her in any way but refrained from doing so since any trigger could affect Claire's pregnancy. However, she had to know just in case Claire needed a therapist to help her overcome the trauma. “I want you to know that whatever the case, we won’t blame you for things that were beyond your control. We love you and we will support you all the way," Roxanne said and took in a shuddering breath before asking, "Did that man touch you against your will?” Claire gasped and her eyes rounded when she realised they had all misunderstood. She vigorously shook her head and replied

Chapter 130~ Diana's scheme

“Do you still have the same merchandise as back then?” Diana asked on the phone. “I want this to be a clean job. It shouldn’t get detected and it shouldn’t be linked to me.” Silence fell over the phone. The man on the phone sighed and said, “I know I said I would always do whatever you want but this is risky. This man is the most powerful man in the city and he has security surrounding him in the hospital. I risk getting caught. Honestly, I don’t think I love you enough to risk my life for that.” Diana rolled her eyes. She gritted her teeth and replied, “Look, that man holds the key to our success. If we kill him, we will get all the fortune. I’ll have Julian sign off his properties to me and kill him too. We can then leave the Country and live happily ever after just like I promised… I told you to be patient.” “Why haven’t you come to see me in years? After you got married, you forgot all about me,” The man said. “Are you sure Wesley wasn’t my son?” “No, he wasn’t. I told you we n
