Chapter 31: “Why are you back again?”
For the next week, Khloe's recovery began to improve. She got discharged from the hospital and soon went home. Her legs were still bandaged and she had to use clutches to support herself, but as time went by, she stopped and started working on getting on her two feet again. Colleagues, friends and family supported her throughout her recovery and there was no sign of Arthur. She began working again and soon employed someone to replace Arthur. And although she misses him, she always chides herself for thinking about him. Khloe Ferguson sat behind her mahogany desk, legs crossed as she read the letters that were sent to her. This letter was a well wishing one, but one later caught her eyes. It has no name and it was very different from the ones sent to her. “Ma’am, the person just gave it to me and said I should give it to you.” Her personal assistant said. “And you didn't care to ask what was in it,” Khloe asked, still analysing the strange note. “No, ma’am. I caught the person sl

Chapter 32: "What's taking you so long?"
“It really hurts me to let her go, I had to do it for my family's sake, to avenge their death. That was why I came here, to seek revenge after the culprit had fled and I don't want to take any chances. I really don't want to slip even one bit. I know my feelings for her are so strong, but feelings don't always matter, right? Love comes and goes, right? Maybe it's not meant to be. Or let me say right person, wrong timing…..aaaarrgghh!!! I've been searching for Scott Freedman for months now, and I have a lead. I can't let him escape, not this time,” Arthur was in deep thoughts as he stepped out of the company's building. As he walked away from the Ferguson's company, his heart felt heavy with the weights of his secrets. “She thinks I'm a liar, traitor and a manipulator, that abandoned her at the point of her needs, just like how everyone else left her. I wish I could clear those thoughts from her and get the weight off my shoulders… sadly I can't, not now, there's so much left to

Chapter 33: “Get lost,” Khloe said.
Arthur drove to the location which he told Sam to meet him, a small Cafe on the outskirts of town. They sat down at a table in the back, away from prying eyes. “So, Sam, what do you have now? His location, his whereabouts, anything?” Arthur asked, eyes locked onto him. “We found his exact location but he is heavily guarded. He has borne hundred bodyguards watching his every move. Whatever we're doing or have to do, we can't do it on our own. Arthur nodded, his mind already racing with strategies. He was about to speak but Sam beat him to it. “Before you say anything else, I've been thinking about something. I know a guy who might be willing to help us out. He's a former Marine, and he's got the skills we need to get past Scott's security.” Arthur's eyes lit up with interest. "Who is he and how will he help with those bodyguards?” Arthur asked curiously. "His name is Ryder. He's been doing private security work ever since he left the military. I've worked with him before numerous

Chapter 34: You again!!!
Arthur, his private investigator, Sam and Ryder, were all seated at the allocated location, the old warehouse, where they went over their plan again once more. “It'll be risky to spy on him unarmed,” Ryder spoke first. “What do you suggest?” Sam asked, eyes locking onto him. “I need some sort of weapon, see it like a plan B…. “There's no plan B,”Arthur voiced. His anger laced in his tone. Silence fell between the three men. Arthur knew it was risky, but he was desperate and really needed to take down Scott as soon as possible. He didn't want to lose sight of his mission and he definitely did not want to create room for failure by coming up with any second plan. Just go in and come out. “We need you to spy on them, get past the security,” Arthur pointed out his aim. "I can help you get past Scott's security, but it's going to cost you a lot. Plus, I need to know that our cause is just,” Ryder chipped. “It's for a good cause. I told you beforehand,” Sam interrupted. Ryder nodd

Chapter 35: "Dylan, who's that?"
***Shortly before Hannah confronts Khloe.*** * Hannah Foster, Ethan's stepmom who he doesn't know that she isn't actually his real mother, was sitting in her living room with Williams Foster's lawyer, Clark. They were discussing the deceased's company and although Williams had shared his inheritance, they believe that something was still very off. “I don't understand what you're talking about, Clark? I know he has transferred all of his wealth to both myself and his son, Ethan,” she said, her legs crossed. “Well, I'm telling you now. There's one secret safe left. And it is said that this safe holds billions of dollars,” Clark remarked. “I know Williams was rich and the will had but little of his wealth, but I never thought he could have hidden it somewhere,” she said, confused. “He hid it. But nobody knows where the key is. I bet he entrusted it to someone he deeply loved or trusted,” Clark said. “If that's the case, I know Williams loved me. But he never gave me any keys. And

Chapter 36: The new plot
“What do you mean?” Khloe's face contorted in confusion as she watched the lady. “Khloe, I don't know her. And I've never seen this lady in my life. You have to believe me,” Mike pleaded. “Miss, can you stop throwing allegations at him. What was his crime exactly?” Khloe then asked. “Dylan here has a criminal case of fraudulent activities. He goes around doping people and running to other cities,” she explained. “Is this true, Mike? Or should I say Dylan?” Khloe asked in utter disbelief. Once again, she almost trusted a foe. Khloe's eyes widened in shock as she stared at him. “I can't believe I almost believed you. Are you really a fraudster?” A wave of anger and betrayal washed over her, her intuition proven right once again. Mike's eyes darted around, his face pale and sweaty, as he struggled to come up with an excuse. But the woman's words had already planted seeds of doubt in Khloe's mind, and she kept her head hard against any coming excuse. She knew she had to be careful,

Chapter 37: "Hold on, it's a trap"
The week has been very pleasant for Khloe, as she hasn't had any strange calls nor nothing. She was still on Emily's case but keeping everything low key so she won't suspect a thing. “Ma’am. This is the report for this week,” Rachel, her assistant, said, dropping a pile of work for her on the desk. “What are all these?” Khloe asked. “The report?” Rachel stated. “No…what report, I never asked anyone to do anything this week. So why are they sending me a report?” Khloe asked, confused. “I don't know. I thought you gave everyone an assignment to work on. Throughout this week, everyone has been so busy,” Rachel said. Khloe stared at her in confusion. “I never did. I'm just going to go through it and call you for any wrong information,” Khloe said dismissing Rachel. “Alright, ma’am. I'll be on my way,” she turned to leave but stopped in her tracks. “Before I forget, there's a letter for you, ma'am,” Rachel said. “A letter? Again. Why do I keep getting strange messages,”

Chapter 38: Abort mission
The bullet made a loud, sharp ear-splitting report, deafening everyone. No one knew where the shooting came from, but a sharp pain against Arthur's leg, made him realise that he'd been shot. “Whattttt?” His eyes widened in shock as he fell to the bare marble falls, the pain in his leg intensifying. Sam gasped and wondered where the gunshot had come from. “Where is it?” He mumbled, grabbing his coat which in it, was a pistol, his eyes scanning the dark room. “You don't have to worry yourself, Arthur,” Freedman's voice echoed across the silent room. “I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mr detective,” he added. Arthur grunt, gritting his teeth, refusing to lose, he got up despite the pain in his leg. He pulled out his gun and directed his aim towards Freedman, who looked like he was enjoying every single moment. The air was thick and filled with tension as the two enemies locked eyes. Freedman's smirk was very evident and he chuckled. “You remind me of your father, too bad he is late.

Chapter 39: “Where should we search now?”
Khloe Ferguson was still thinking about the letter and was wondering who had sent it to her. “Who's M? And why did he send me such a letter? Not that it's bad or anything, I'm just curious,” she thought out loud. The letter still in her hand, she tried as much as possible to think of anyone with that name, but it didn't seem to ring a bell. To distract herself from the mystery of the letter, she decided to focus on her work, which Rachel had piled in front of her.“This is going to be a long day,” she whispered. Sitting behind the desk, she began going through the papers one after the other. She could have used her computer but the computer could actually do less compared to what she could possibly do. But all this while, her mind kept wandering back to the letter and M.“Who is M, and why had he written me such a cryptic message?Why's he choosing to be hideous?” Khloe thought to herself.The same thought kept reeling in her head. She wondered if it was a prank, or if someone was tr

Chapter 40: “What's Emily doing here?”
“We'll get through all this and find him wherever he may be and for that, I promise,” Khloe recalled the last statement she told Anastasia with determination. But now, as she stared at the ceiling, she felt a sense of doubt creeping in. She thought about Anastasia and her missing cousin the whole time as she laid on her bed. The letter, which she had promised herself not to think of, was right there on a small table beside her bed. She laid into her bed and held the note in her hands. “Who's M? And why did you have to write this letter? Is this a prank, or something more sinister?” She thought to herself, as her thoughts swirled, refusing to let her sleep. She groaned, rolling herself over the bed, with the letter burning a hike into her mind. Finally, Khloe threw off her covers and got out of the bed, determined to shake off the feeling of helplessness. “I've already given her my word, I must do something about it real quick,” she thought out loud, while pacing back and fort
