Calista’s parents. He hired a private detective to find them the moment Serenity showed her face and left him restless as a result. He just hadn't been able to sleep well because of that sole face.Once Calista’s parents are found, he’ll proceed to locate Calista through them. If it meant peeping into their personal life and monitoring their phone calls, he would do it. It was illegal but sometimes, money is above the law.“Here is the logbook anyway.” Serenity handed him the book, returning the conversation to its previous discourse.He took it from her and opened its cover. “Yes. It's right about time to be serious.” He glanced at his wristwatch. “I only have an hour and a half left before the meeting back in the office.” He muttered that mostly to himself.“The materials and equipment are ready, Mr. Donnelly. Tomorrow, we will begin with the practical work. The workers are only setting everything in place now so that we can commence construction instantly without distractions. We w

After freshening up and changing into comfortable clothes, I rang Granny Carys’s cell phone.“Well, if it's not my princess!” Came my grandmother’s excited voice the moment she picked up the phone.Oh, how much I missed that voice; I thought. “How have you been coping with missing me, you pretty old woman?” I blurted out jokingly.“Not as much as I do now after hearing those words!” Granny Carys remarked with a chuckle.I smiled. My grandmother was a painkiller. “For real now, Granny Carys. How are you?” I got serious.“I’m as good as ever. Although it's been boring here not having you around but Brielle drops in once in a while to help with laundry and stuff.” Granny Carys replied.I was about to smile at that. Brielle did tell me she would help out with Granny Carys when she could. She never thought it’d be this early.“That's great, Granny Carys. I'll remember to thank her,” I said.Granny Carys, who seemed to be busy with probably a tape recorder that was making some noises in the

I arrived at Shawn’s office a little early. I met his secretary in tow but Shawn wasn't present yet. She made me sit at the reception and encouraged me to wait for him.“Mr. Donnelly will arrive in a few minutes. He's already on his way.” She said to me after dropping a call.She was a pretty girl with clear skin but had too much makeup on. I nodded at her with a polite smile and gently waited for Shawn’s arrival.About two minutes later, he arrived. Before his presence got nearer, one could already discern that a noble figure was approaching by how the workers busy with work had dumped them to stand and acknowledge the CEO’s presence.That was how strong the CEO’s influence was. How strong Shawn was which made it more exciting when it was time to bring him down. The fall of a mighty one is the best after all.“Good morning, Mr. Donnelly.” I began as I also stood to receive him. He was being escorted by a few security guards.He wasn't on dark sunshades today. He halted abruptly upon

How Shawn managed to fly into my thoughts at every slight chance was what I needed to watch out for.Sighing and wearing my face mask, I waved at Cruz who was working with a bunch of newbies. They were all recommended by Cruz of course and well vouched for too.Cruz had a toothpick sticking out of his mouth as usual. “Heya! How is it going?” I called and they all abruptly stopped their work and enthusiastically waved back at me.“Hello, Ms. Fairchild!” Cruz greeted while the rest of his team did the same. “Don't come closer. The cement’s dust might get on you. We’re doing just fine here!” He supplied.I smiled at his thoughtfulness but I knew he wasn't going to see it considering the distance. “Alright, good job, everyone. Get to it!” I let out, walking away.The site was bustling with activity, and I scanned the area, my mind now divided between overseeing the project and Max's situation. I hated to hear it when a fellow woman was in any pain whatsoever and of course, men too.I just

Jacob Extended the logbook to me. “Here’s the rundown of today's work. It seems God is on our side, Serenity. Everything seems to be running fine.” He said with a hopeful smile.Everything should run fine. We could not afford a mistake. “That’s good, Jacob. So, the foundation work is progressing smoothly, then?" I glanced over the logbook, scanning through the day's tasks and progress reports. The pounding of hammers and the low hum of machinery filled the air.I didn't know if Jacob clapped since my eyes were on the logbook but I heard a clapping sound.“Absolutely. The crew is right on schedule. We've had no hiccups so far. They're meticulous with the measurements and the concrete pouring is flawless," he assured.I nodded, relieved at the positive update. "Excellent. Please keep an eye on the steel reinforcements too. We cannot compromise on the structural integrity at any stage," I reminded him, flipping through the logbook to review the very well-detailed notes that Jacob had pre
