Chapter 41

Harry’s povWhy would he keep me waiting? Who the heck does he think he is? Picking up the glass from its stand and glancing at my wristwatch, I noticed it was already past the actual time. This I had done a million times in less than an hour.I gulped the wine from the glass and dropped it almost forcefully, leaving a visible crack on it. I cursed myself subconsciously when I realized what I had done. "It wasn't my damn fault," I muttered, trying to clear my head. I felt really frustrated.I was supposed to have received his call by now so I could send the driver to pick him up. All the reservations were in place, but he was about an hour late, and still no call. The urge to call him surged, but I restrained myself. Leonard Anderson was a cruel, ruthless billionaire who frowned upon being called, especially in situations like this.I wouldn’t sabotage this long-standing effort for anything. It had taken me a lot to convince him that my company was the right fit for the job, so why wo

Chapter 42

Celine’s PovPlaying with little Henry at the park was a way I employed to escape the tense feeling and the atmosphere of futile efforts.After realizing that Aaron Lincoln was my dad's lawyer and the one in charge of the case, I put in all the effort I could to assist him, doing the little we could to sabotage and overturn the verdict. But the more we dug into the case, the more complex it became. Williams had been involved in so much fraud, and fighting the case only uncovered other hidden aspects of his dealings.There were things I never knew about him until now—certain dealings that were so messy, I couldn’t have imagined them. At first, I saw him as a ruthless, stern billionaire who merely possessed a domineering character that intimidated everyone around him. They all seemed to become subjects before him. Little did I know there was more behind it. To think that I once vowed to recover all his wealth is something I slightly regret. But still, I have to fight and forge ahead. He

Chapter 43

Harry’s povThat child she was carrying and chuckling at was definitely Jack's blood, and this realization struck me hard, causing my heart to race. I was on the verge of a life-changing deal, yet the joy vanished the moment I caught sight of her.Why was she always in view? Whenever my heart was in ecstasy, she was truly a joy-stealer, and my hatred for her grew the day I learned from the hospital report that her child was too young to be mine, based on when I divorced her. To think she had the nerve to open her legs for that bastard Jack was something I had tried to forget all this time. Now, seeing her again only revived those hard feelings, and my heart boiled.It was a good thing that the child was now in the world, and I strongly believed that if I took this child away from the face of the earth, Jack would be half-dead and utterly broken. I knew he thought he would get away scot-free for making an attempt on my life. No, that wasn't going to happen. I made sure Lily and Derrick

Chapter 44

HenryCeline’s povJust when we were about to leave the park, I noticed a group of guys entering. They looked cool but rude in their demeanor, and I doubted if they were also there to catch a glimpse of nature's beauty.“So, psychos also visit the park,” I thought to myself. Such a question was out of place because it was none of my business. When did I start prying into matters that didn’t concern me? I mean, it was an open and free place for anyone to visit, except for the entrance fee, which was high and made it the best park in the city.I hastily packed our things, put Henry back in his carrier, and shoved everything into the bag. I stopped for a deep breath, casting a sideways glare at the couple who had narrowed their eyes at us. We had already spent enough time here, and my meeting with Lincoln was just thirty minutes away. He was the kind of person who valued punctuality and frowned upon lateness. I wasn’t in the mood for his tantrums. The sooner we left, the better.I had re

Chapter 45

PleaseMy back hit the bare floor hard, my hands clutching my heart, and my eyes widened in shock. “The white pieces, the two guys before me, and the footsteps approaching from behind, Henry sitting in his carrier—what just happened?”“Noooo!” I screamed.My eyes filled with uncontrollable tears as they rolled down voluntarily. The crowd around me became more intense by now, some with concern written on their faces. Many felt sorry but were confused by the whole scene I displayed. Some murmured among themselves, whispers everywhere but nothing made sense to me.“Where is my son? Where is Henry?” I asked, my eyes scanning everywhere. I threw myself on the floor. By now, I could feel the numbness in my limbs gradually dissipating, but that didn't matter unless I set my eyes on Henry. He was just a year old and too tender to be in danger.“No replies? No, no, this can't be happening,” I sobbed even more. What would I do without my son, my bundle of joy? Where have they taken him? Was he

Chapter 46

Why?"Henry, wait for Mummy! Where are you going?" I ran to grasp his hand, but it slowly faded, leaving me in misery as I opened my eyes. My gaze darted around the room, goosebumps visible on my skin as fear gripped my entire being."Where is Henry?" I asked Evelyn, who held me tightly as I regained consciousness. Her expression revealed one thing—Henry wasn't here. I slowly pulled myself up. "Ahh!" The pain in my head, back, and entire body was overwhelming."Where's Henry?" I asked once more, pulling away from her grip, which was almost impossible to break. My body was still weak, but I felt a bit better than before. I knew I was in a hospital—the familiar smell and the white straps everywhere gave it away. How I got there wasn't something I could wrap my head around, nor did it matter. The only thing that made sense, even in my subconscious, was Henry. And I doubted if he was safe. I felt something was wrong. Henry was in danger."Let me go! Let me be!" I screamed at Evelyn as she

Chapter 47

Curious His steps were loud and purposeful, and each one made towards us only echoed in my ears, buzzing deep in my eardrums. It felt like I could hear invisible sounds, even from a silent space, and they were so loud that my eardrums were beginning to bleed. I was really going insane, I knew I was, and if I couldn't see Henry soon, I doubted I would survive."How's she now?" he inquired, turning to meet Evelyn's teary gaze."I'm afraid she's getting worse with each passing minute, and something needs to be done fast," she expressed, turning to meet my weird gaze.Why would she say I was getting worse?"My utmost desire is to be with my son. That's all I'm interested in, and it's the only thing that needs to be done now!" I screamed at the top of my voice, avoiding their strange stares."Oh my child, come to mummy," I called out one more time, straying my eyes around, obviously looking for something. His tender voice was now audible, coming from a distance, and I knew he was somewher

Chapter 48

Hope Alive Was I meant to remain in shambles, heartbroken? Or was it always meant to turn to sorrow when it seemed like light was surging? My heart and entire body were no longer mine. Why was there a "but" in his last sentence? It's been three long days, but it felt like a thousand. I had wept until there were no more tears left. I had roamed the streets of the city countless times like a deranged person until my strength failed me. All futile, no hope. The worst part was that the cops were on the case, but still, it had been three days without my son. The inspector only pulled my leg to calm me down, assuring me my son was in their custody, but those were mere words. Only Aaron read between the lines as he glared intensely at me. I kept blaming myself subconsciously for even giving that strange guy a listening ear. I should have just ignored him and moved on. Maybe then all of this wouldn’t be happening, and Henry wouldn’t be missing. My body was a mess, and my limbs felt

Chapter 49

Harry’s pov"And what in heaven's name are you driving at?" Glaring at him only furrowed my brows and intensified my anger. How could he fumble on an assignment as simple as this? Just keep watch over the child in your custody, simple. Does he ever consider the consequences of his actions before choosing to be careless with such simple tasks?"You are just inconsistent," I cursed, trying so hard to keep my temper in check. It was never in my nature to hurt any of my men, but now the urge surged within me. I restrained myself, clenching my fingers into a fist. How frustrating it was to expect a successful deal only to meet failure."B-boss, I'm sorry," he stammered, his head still lowered in fear. It was written all over his trembling body; his legs barely supported him, and his sight disgusted me.The thought that the child was not eliminated was infuriating, and I felt a pang in my heart. I had never been this tense when it came to my dealings, be it society or business, but this wa

Chapter 50

Shocking RevelationCeline’s povMy heart suddenly quickened, a surge of delight sprang up, and a wide grin spread across my face. I had never been in such a mood for the past three days since Henry was apprehended, and to think the heavens somehow granted my wish swept me off my feet.“My son, my joy,” I gently pulled him from her grip as I kissed his tender face passionately over and over again. It felt like a million times, but it was never enough. I had missed him so much that tears welled up in my eyes as I planted those kisses.He didn't look any different from his usual self, and you would doubt he had even been held captive for the past three days. I narrowed my eyes at the familiar lady. I couldn’t forget her face in a hurry, despite my insane mood and deranged heart. She must have taken good care of him; that much I was certain as I observed him. But the question remained: how did he get into her custody? Was she working with my son's captors? A frown suddenly creased my fa
