** Spencer **As soon as Sydney stormed out, I could feel the awkward silence that prevailed between us. It was weird as the three of us were left speechless. I didn't like the fact that Sydney left without me, but there was no point in complaining.Remembering that I and Aiden had agreed to have an important meeting together, I decided to use this opportunity to clear the air with him. Because after this, I doubt that I was ever going to talk to him again. He had hurt Sydney so many times and there was no reason for me to associate with him.I cleared my throat to draw their attention to me. “Aiden, I think that this is the best time for us to talk,” I said to him.He nodded as if his senses were coming back to him. “This is a good time to have a conversation,” Aiden agreed.“Good, although we have to discuss it alone,’’ I said, gesturing to Joyceline to leave us alone.Joyceline scoffed. “This is ridiculous. How do you want me to leave because of your business talk?”Aiden turned her
“What do you mean by Sydney is now missing?” I asked, terrified at what I'm hearing from Lydia.“I went to the restroom and saw her purse on the floor with her phone inside,” Lydia said.“How is that even possible? If someone had taken her, wouldn't they have to pass through here in order to get to the gate?” I asked curiously.Aiden shook his head, “No. There is a back gate that is closer to the restroom but it has not been used for years. It should be rusted by now and covered with creeping grasses.”“There is only one way to find out. Aiden, you will have to show us this back gate,” I said.Aiden nodded without hesitation. He too looked concerned about Sydney's sudden disappearance. My heart was beating fast as I followed Aiden to wherever the back gate was. We reached there and to our horror, it was broken. The kidnappers must have escaped from there.Lydia broke down in tears. “How could this happen again? I promised to always keep my eyes on her and I failed!”I helped Lydia up.
My face was gloomy as I sat down at the restaurant, waiting for my so-called cousin brother to come. One of the things that worried me was the fact that the kidnappers haven't called yet which was quite different from the last time they had taken Sydney and Miriam. I use this opportunity to calm Miriam and be certain that she was safe.“Spencer, good morning,” she greeted sleepily.“Yes, Miriam. Where are you now?” I asked her.“At home. I'm just waking up from sleep now,” she replied.“Okay, stay at home all day if you don't have anything important to do outside,” I warned her.“What's going on?”“It's about Sydney. She's been kidnapped…”“Again?” Miriam interrupted. I could hear the fear in her voice, it trembled as she spoke.“Yes, again. I don't know what they are up to but I want you to stay away from outside for the meantime,” I said to her.“I will. Thank you for warning me on time and I hope that you will find her as soon as possible,” Miriam said.“I hope so,” I sighed and hu
** Max **“Jordan, get the team ready. We have a more important task to get done,” I said sternly.“What's going on?” Jordan asked.“Sydney Talker has been kidnapped again right under our noses,” I replied.“This is becoming serious. We have to do something about it but what is the next step that you want to take? I and the team are ready to cover any expenses,” Jordan said.“We are going to storm the Talker's mansion and interrogate every household in that family. Anyone who is susceptible to the events that happened to Sydney Talker will be arrested immediately and tortured until he or she spills the tea about Sydney's whereabouts,” I said.It was not only Spencer that was in rage about what happened to Sydney. I am also angry at whoever that tried to pull this game up for the second time, it was absurd and annoying. But this time, I'm determined to get to the root of the matter. Sydney is a woman with a good heart, no matter the outcome of the things that she has been through in l
** Spencer **As soon as Max told me that Andrea was arrested and the reason behind the arrest, I and Collins rushed to the warehouse where Andrea will be given a special treatment. Her hands have been chained by the time I get there, now the decision to squeeze the truth out of her mouth was in my hands.“What are you planning on doing to her?” Collins asked.“I don't know,” I replied. I was truly confused about what to do next, I badly wanted Sydney to be found as soon as possible but at the same time, I was scared that I might be a little too late and lose Sydney forever. I don't know if torturing Andrea was the best idea.“Come on, man, you have to be sure of what you want to do next… remember that she is helping the mastermind to treat Sydney badly, you have to torture her and make her say the truth,” Collins said.Max tapped me gently on my shoulders. “Can we have a moment outside, Spencer?” He asked.I nodded and followed him to the premises of the warehouse. I knew what that l
“Spencer, what the hell is wrong with you?” Max asked when he had pulled me out of there.I wiped off the beads of sweat on my face. It was as if I was trying to recollect my thoughts back. When I was inside there, I had absolutely lost control and didn't know what I was doing. I can't even believe that I hurt Andrea to that extent, it wasn't intentional but I was not in control of myself.“Max, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't understand why I lost control earlier,” I replied honestly.I had never seen myself in such a rage before and this was because of Sydney's Kidnapping… What would happen if I eventually lost her?. There will be chaos and burning hell in this city.“You have to learn how to control your emotions especially when you are in rage. What you did to Andrea was terrible and might give people a different perspective about who you truly are. I know that you are angry because Sydney was kidnapped but you have to remember that if you're not calm, you are nowhere cl
** Collins **I returned home after but this time, I had in my mind that the confidence I had about eliminating Spencer easily had vanished. What my eyes witnessed in that warehouse was an enough reason for me to be careful on how I'm tampering with Spencer. He looked bloody, more like when the devil is devouring on his prey. Of course, I know that Andrea is innocent. She wasn't the one who told me about the back gate, the culprit was still in the Talker's mansion and roaming around freely. If it was the culprit that Max had caught and the motherfucker spilled the beans about our deal, I would have been a dead meat by now. “You look so worried, Collins,” Tessa said when she entered the room.“What my eyes have seen today has put a deep fear into my body,” I replied.“Well, suck it in because old man Lee will be here soon. You wouldn't want him to believe that you are a coward and afraid of carrying out one simple task,” she snarled.I went to her swiftly and grabbed her neck. Tessa
I clenched my fists in anger as I entered the empty building where Sydney was being kept in the meantime. This was supposed to be the best time to lure Spencer here and complete the mission but I'm beginning to doubt that doing that immediately would be the best thing to do.My phone rang, it was old man Lee that was calling me. He was damn thirsty for blood and torture that's why he wants me to hurt Sydney so that Spencer's emotional side will be triggered badly.But Sydney is not just any woman, she's pregnant with a child, and hurting her would be the most inhumane thing to do. Spencer would surely kill me if he found out that I hurt Sydney or I was the one behind the kidnap.“Well, are you going to pick up the call or not?” Tessa asked me.My anger increased as her annoying voice rang in my head but I had to suppress it because it wasn't the right time yet. I have to get the power that I long for first before getting her out of my way. In the meantime, I have to tolerate her annoy
