Nicholas's POVI was at my office in Berkshire Savannah Company when my phone rang. I checked to see who it was, and it was Josiah. What could he possibly have to say again? Ever since I returned, I've been receiving endless calls from him concerning the delivery of the cocaine to Angelo. Now that it has finally been delivered, what could be the problem?"Yes, Josiah, what's the problem?" I said as I answered the call."Good af... afternoon, boss," he said, his voice unsteady. I instantly knew there was trouble."What is it, Josiah?" I commanded."We have lost one of our men in the...""What?" I interjected. "What do you mean by that? Didn't you say they were all recuperating well?" I stood up, fuming."They were all fine, boss, but one suddenly developed complications after the surgery. He died a few hours ago." I paced around with my hand on my head. I was sick and tired. This wasn't how I had expected things to turn out."Go to his family and tender our heartfelt condolences and ma

"I am Nicholas Brandson, although I am sure you already know that", he took a glass of water before continuing, "Obviously that serial killer is working for someone, you said they were four of them, right?",Mark nodded."If they track Laura to this place and find out it is my secret hideout, they would come in their numbers, I cant afford to go to war just yet…", he looked at me, "until we know who we are dealing with"."I see", Mark uttered. It made sense to him now. "Since you all don't have phones, I'ld send someone to get you three new protected phones tomorrow", he said."That way we would be sure you won't be tracked". I was happy to hear that, at least, I won't be very lonely again. I needed to call my mum and let her know I am fine. I also needed to discuss some things with my manager, he must be really worried of my absence."Thank you", I said as Mark and Sonia echoed their thanks as well.He just nodded and we all ate on in silence. For some reason, Mark and Sonia finished

Laura's POVI threw my phone onto the bed, beside myself with fear. Who could it be? How did this person get my new number?I needed to tell Nicholas, I needed to inform them all about what had just happened. I rushed out of my room and went straight to Sonia's room, banging on the door."Sonia, Mark, wake up!" I shouted.I could hear noises inside, then footsteps approached the door. As soon as it opened, Mark stood there, looking at me in surprise.I pushed past him and entered the room."What's the problem, Laura?" Sonia asked, panic in her voice."I don't know how he got my number," I paced around the room, not knowing what to do. I couldn't sit, I was too afraid to do so."Who are you talking about?" Sonia asked."The serial killer, Sonia. The serial killer," Sonia jumped up from the bed."What did you just say?" she asked, staring at me in disbelief.Mark chuckled, "It's too early for this sort of joke, Laura."I looked at him, my eyes wide. "You think I'm joking? How can I be j

Laura's POV:I awakened and rubbed my eyes, realizing it was already morning based on the rays of light streaming through the window. I turned and noticed Nicholas wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone? That was my initial thought until I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom."Oh, he must be taking a bath," I mused, sinking back into bed with my head on the pillow. Memories of everything that transpired yesterday flooded my mind. I pondered how I would have slept without Nicholas by my side. I likely would have been so scared that I would have stayed up all night or even joined Sonia and Mark in their room.The thought of that made me chuckle. Sonia would probably never allow it. She would prefer sleeping with me rather than having me share a room with her man. She was fiercely protective of him, and I understood why. It's challenging to trust a man who possesses such prowess in bed. Many women would feel insecure if they had such a partner.Nicholas walked in just th

With the phone in my hand, I rushed out of the room and pounded on Sonia's door."Wake up, Sonia!" I shouted.Sonia hurried to the door, already fully dressed, indicating that she had already bathed."What's going on, Laura?" She looked at me, noticing my appearance. "You're still in a towel, babe."I didn't say anything; I just handed her my phone with trembling hands. She took the phone from me."I hope we're not dealing with this again, Laura. Not those nonexistent messages from the serial killer," she said as she glanced through my phone. I looked at her face, waiting for a reaction.She pulled me into the room and made me sit on the bed."There's nothing here, Laura. Your inbox is empty. Is there something else you want to show me?" My eyes widened in disbelief. What was she talking about? How was it possible that my inbox was empty? I took the phone from her and checked. I was completely shocked. What was happening?"Laura, I don't know what's going on, but this is getting serio

Nicholas's POVEveryone gathered in the lounge as I had requested. Laura sat beside me, while Sonia and Mark sat across from us. Their eagerness to hear what I had to say was evident. They wanted to know the information Carlos had shared with me."What did he find?" Mark was the first to ask, his restlessness apparent. He craved answers, understanding that the closer we get to apprehending the serial killer, the closer they all are to regaining their freedom. I, too, desired their freedom and grew tired of returning to the secret hideout, constantly consumed by thoughts of Laura. This situation had made me behave unlike my usual self, and I didn't appreciate it."Well, he uncovered some information about Romana," Laura tensed beside me, capturing my attention. Her eyes widened in response."What kind of information?" she inquired."Apparently, our hackers managed to dig up some details about him. As we suspected, he belongs to a mafia gang. However, we haven't been able to determine w

Laura's POVThe next morning, Nicholas woke me up, already dressed in a red shirt and black trousers. He looked incredibly handsome, with his neatly brushed hair falling gracefully across his forehead. It was hard not to admire his perfect looks, wealth, power, and poise. The rich fragrance he wore filled the room, adding to his allure."Get up, love. It's already 9 am," he said, smiling at me."I had a great night's rest," I replied, stretching and stifling a yawn."I'm glad," he said, rising from the bed and walking towards the wardrobe. Lately, I had been sleeping so well, especially when I was with Nicholas. His presence made me feel safe and protected, as if nothing could harm me.He returned from the wardrobe, his tie neatly fastened around his neck."I'll be leaving now," he said, adjusting his tie. "I have some matters to attend to."I stood up from the bed and walked around him, finally standing behind him and wrapping my arms around him."But you'll come back today, right?"

I dialed her number again, and this time she answered. "Thank God," I muttered, feeling relieved."How are you, Mum?" I asked."Oh, my daughter, I am fine," she replied, and I closed my eyes, taking a breath of relief."I hope you haven't been having any troubles at all?" I inquired."Not at all, Laura," she replied. "Has someone come to see me? Are you finally ready to settle down?" she teased."Oh, come off it, Mum. You know I recently broke up with Santos, so it will take a while for me to find someone.""That's true," she sighed. "When are you coming to visit me?""I am quite busy at the moment, Mum, but I will come as soon as I can, hopefully before the year ends," I assured her. She fell silent for a moment before responding."That's fine, Laura. Just don't let it take too long. I miss you.""I miss you too, Mum.""Okay, bye," she said before hanging up the call. Normally, I made sure to visit my mum at least three times every year, but this year, I had only gone to see her once
