61. The Gunshot

THERESA'S POV As I drove away, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following me. I glanced in the rearview mirror, and my heart skipped a beat. A man was approaching my car, dressed in blue jeans and a black hoodie that obscured his face.“He doesn't look like Carlos, my ex-fiancé,” I whispered inwardly to myself and kept my gaze on the mirror for a while.Until my instincts kicked in, and I quickly started the car, preparing to speed away. But as I looked back in the mirror, I saw the man pull out a gun from his pocket. My heart racing, I floored it, and the car screeched away from the curb.The man began shooting at my car as I sped away, and I could hear the bullets whizzing past my head. I didn't dare look back, fearing what I might see.“Ahh!" I exclaimed in a low tone without slowing down,When I finally felt safe enough to pull over, I took a deep breath and tried to process what had just happened. “Who was that man, and why was he trying to kill me?” I couldn't sha

62. Missed Target

CALVIN'S POV “You missed what?" I grumbled on the phone and screamed at the top of my lungs as I received bad news from two of my men that I sent to kill Trump's only daughter, Theresa."Yes, boss, we shot at her, but it didn't work out as planned. Instead, a man, a waiter, I think, took the bullet," Moses explained, trying to apologize for their mistake.I was intense with anger, confused and furious. "How did you? I asked and pushed the bitch in front of me sideways, not minding if she hit her legs or head on the armpit object.“And you have the nerve to call me and give me this bad news? You missed your target! You'd better override your brain before I override it for you!"My voice was laced with anger and ash. "I'm interested in killing her. No one can go scot-free if you ask me.I reminisced on what I did to myself on the day I gave my goods to that stupid Trump, who intended to sell them and give me back my interest. Unfortunately, he received my goods and never returned my in

63. Mia's Life is At Stake

MIA'S POV I finally managed to get in touch with Mr. Mark over the phone after trying for so long. "Mr. Mark, I need to see you. It's urgent," I said."My life is in danger, and I need your protection. I've been trying to reach you because I have something important to give to Miss Juliet." He apologized for leaving abruptly, but I cut him off.Mr. Mark's tone changed, and I sensed a calm, suspicious atmosphere on his end. "What is it?" he asked.“Your mom had given me a flash drive, which I needed to give to Miss Juliet. However, I was unable to enter the mansion again.” I said with my voice barely audible,“A flash drive for Juliet?" He asked with a confused tone,As I was busy with him, he paused for a bit, and I could hear him speaking to someone in the background, and I heard a faint, wicked voice that sounded like Miss Juliet's voice.“Miss Juliet's.” I called, and my heart skipped a beat."Is that Miss Juliet?" I asked, trying to contain my excitement.Mr. Mark confirmed it, a

64. Take off to Texas

MARK'S POVThe three of us were seated in a cozy, curved section of the plane, with a low console table in front of us. The table held our drinks, snacks, and personal belongings, keeping everything within easy reach.I sat in a window seat, with Juliet beside me in the middle seat, and Camara occupied the aisle seat, giving plenty of room to stretch out and relax during the flight.As the plane got ready to soar through the skies, Juliet, Camara, and I chatted, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company, feeling grateful for the opportunity to travel and escape London Docklands in warm peace.“Your beauty glows every day, Juliet," I whispered to Juliet, and she chuckled and smiled. “Thanks, Mark, you aren't bad yourself," she responded, her voice laced with joy.“Nice to meet you again, Miss Juliet," I said teasingly, and she smiled.Camara wasn't bothered by our gestures; she had her headphones on, busy pressing her phone, displaying the ever-green song of her favorite female artist

65. Tap Out

MARK'S POV As I stepped out of the plane in Texas, I was welcomed by the cool atmosphere of the airport and my phone ringtone piercing my ears. I gently moved my hand from Juliet's and shoved it into my pocket. On my glance at the screen, Erick's name was displaying continuously, non-stop. I didn't hesitate; I picked up the call."Hello, Erick. Erick, are you there?" I said, my voice low yet urgent.He sounded disturbed at the receiving end, but I had no visual of him."Erick, I called again," I said, thinking there was a network issue on his phone."Mark, yeah, I'm here. I'm here. Where are you?" he asked, and I was worried about the sudden question from Erick. His call was sufficient for me to think something was off."Erick, I'm in Texas Airport now. I just landed along with Juliet and Camara," I responded to his question.He muted his voice, barely audible, as he said, "Mark, you are in grave danger. I need to know where you are. You are in grave danger; you need to find your way

66. Dangerous Kiss

LORENZO'S POV “Juliet escaped!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I received the bad news at the receiving end.“Malcom, I'm happy to inform you that you're fucking crazy,” I stated, my voice audible and menacing."What insolence! You have the audacity to call me again, that you missed the target? I told you to get Juliet; that was your chance, and now she escaped.” My heart remained heated by their failure.My mind began to play tricks on me: “George has the development boldness to call me again and tell me that he has Diana, my blood sister, captive. “He owes me!" I blurted out to Malcolm on the phone as he tried to explain what really went wrong at the airport, but I didn't care. Even as my voice struggles to get above the beautiful music being played in the club as I await Calvin, who had booked an appointment with me that last week,“I think he will be my best option for getting Juliet; after all, he is Jones’s brother, and Juliet never knew him. I think he will be the be

67. Locked up

DIANA'S POVI saw myself lying in a pool of blood, my body weak and limp. Beside me was my brother, Lorenzo, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare. I tried to reach out to him, but my hands felt heavy, as if weighed down by invisible chains.I heard the sound of footsteps echoing off the cold, damp walls. George appeared before me, his knee on my chest, a gun still clutched in his hand. I kicked my brother's lifeless body, trying to know if he was dead or still alive, and I felt a surge of anger and hatred. When he couldn't move or say anything to me.Suddenly, the scene shifted, and I found myself back in the underground warehouse where George, my brother's friend, had been holding me captive. I was locked in a small cell made of cold, grey concrete. Until I heard the sound of an inmate,“My name is Jones,” a voice calls out to me from the other cell."Miss Diana," he kept on calling. I think he must have heard my name from the men who came and brought me here the last time."Why are

68. Twisted

DIANA'S POV As I was dragged into the cozy room. My eyes glanced at George and his two men standing upright behind him, dressed in white and black trousers, both heavily loaded with short guns.George was sitting on a wooden chair with his legs crossed over each other, and he held a gun on a wooden table in front of him. While he continued to chuckle and smile, he said, "Oh, see who cares to join us."After a few minutes, he teased me, "What took you so long?" as I was being dragged like a lab rat towards a chair in front of him. “Sit right here." I was forcefully seated on the wooden chair in front of him, making me gaze directly at his eyes. I nearly felt like slapping his face, but my two hands were rendered useless in shackles, and I couldn't lift a finger on him, leaving me to only use my mouth to defend myself."Diana, Diana, Diana, the eyes of Lorenzo are here; you look so much alike," he jokingly spoke, and I was met with a wrong impression about him."You are such a betraye

69. Under pretence

OLIVIA'S POVI'm so glad you're doing better," I said, fixing a happy gaze on Mrs. Claire. This was when Mr. George turned to give me a smile, and shockingly, he would sit down while we waited for Alex, who had stepped out to grab something to eat.After a few minutes, Alex burst back into the room, out of breath, his face pale with worry. "What's wrong?" I asked, concern etched on my face.Alex rushed to my side and grasped my arm, his eyes darting towards the door, leaving me with a fearful expression. "It's Mr. George," he whispered urgently. "He's on his way here right now."My hands sat frozen, and a chill ran down my spine. Mr. George was the last person I wanted to see, especially after everything that had happened.I felt a surge of fear, and my mind was racing with questions. What did Mr. George want? Why was he coming to the hospital unannounced?Before I could ask any of these questions, we heard the sound of footsteps outside the room, growing louder with each passing seco

MIA'S POV Mia, I'm going to get you, and I promise if I lay my hands on you, you will be dead in just a few seconds, just like your sister." Mr. George's threats still send shivers down my spine; everything I reminisced about the day he called me. My life was at stake, and not only mine, but Angel's life was also in danger. “I was sure Tracy would never forgive me if anything happened to her daughter.” I thought deeply.My heart ponders trying my best, even if it was just to save Angel and leave me dead. She had to live and survive in this world. I didn't have any other option. I needed to find Mr. Mark by myself. He was my only hope, the only person I could trust to help me find Juliet, who could unlock the flash drive.If I could lock Mr. George away before he found me, then I would be on top of the world. "Tracy, I will run this," I whispered to myself as I walked by the pedestrian way through the highway, waiting for a car.I decided to call Mr. Mark before going anywhere. Afte
