..There was a slight knock on the door."Come in"his mother walked in with his favorite coffee in her hands. She looked at how messy he had made the room. The entire room was in shambles."Did a tornado blow in here? She asked quietly at Gabriel but he instead had a hurtful laugh."Look at the moon tonight, Mom. It shone brighter tonight. Is that a sign that they are safe or they are dead? He sighs ignoring her question."Well, for me I think it's a sign that your unborn baby and your wife are ok," she said with a shaky voice, not sounding convincing enough.Even she doubted her hunch."Mom, why does it seem harder for one when he decides to change for the better?"Well, the tougher the challenges the tougher you'd be. Let's be hopeful that she's fine and your baby too". She smiled sadly."I'm tired of being hopeful. Now I just want to see if she's okay, waiting is draining my leftover strength."He confessed."Here, have this coffee, I didn't make it like Lola's but I know it would r
"Hey Patricia, get ready I will be having an emergency meeting with the Chinese investors by 11am today, pass this message across to them" Adriel said before sipping the last coffee content in his tea cup."Ok Mr. Alvarez" Patricia said as she turned to leave but remembered she had an important message to deliver."Sorry Mr. Alvarez, a letter was brought here by an unknown person and was asked to be delivered to you" Patricia said, handing over a brown envelope to his Boss."And what was written on it?" Adriel asked to bring out a document file from his large drawer, which he is going to use for the Chinese investors meeting."I don't know Mr. Alvarez, I think you're the one meant to read the letter, maybe it's important because it was delivered early this morning by an unknown man who claims to have a message you need in the envelope" Patricia mouthed"Okay you can keep it on my table while you go prepare for the meeting, we have less than 2 hours for the meeting" Adriel commanded he
On getting to the police station Adriel laid his complaints and requested to have more police and security agents follow him to the address that was given to him to drop the ransome.It was believed that there are chances of him being abducted while trying to drop the money at the location. Their plan was to get the victim alive, deal with him until he showed them where Lola is.A total number of thirty security agents went ahead of Adriel and carefully took their place in an ambush while waiting for Adriel to arrive. Another dispatch of thirty more security agents followed the suite but was at a location not far from the address. Adriel was ready to deal with whosoever that gave him nightmare for over four months. The whole surrounding was now safe for Adriel to drive in to drop the money."Hello I'm at the spot" Adriel called the unknown number waiting for him to drop the money."Okay come further, to the spot where you're seeing a pole, it's just a few steps away from where you'r
After a few months had passed since the kidnapping of Lola, he was slowly losing his mind, he couldn't concentrate on anything at that spot.Adriel found himself unable to shake off the thoughts of Lola from his mind. The memories of their time together lingered like an invisible thread, constantly tugging at his heart. He couldn't deny it any longer— he was in love with Lola and couldn't imagine his life without her.Adriel had spent countless nights reflecting on his actions, replaying their last moments together in his mind. He realized that he had taken Lola for granted, not fully appreciating her presence until she was no longer by his side. The realization hit him like a wave of regret, and he knew he had to do something to win her back."Shit so love hurts like while, why is it hard when someone wants to change and live a life he has already desired to live, while will karma deal with me so badly that it's taking my joy away"The big picture frame of Adriel and Lola on their we
"I can't imagine life without her, Omar," Adriel confessed, his voice filled with both vulnerability and determination. "I need to find her and make things right. I've realized how much she means to me."Omar nodded, a supportive smile gracing his face. "I believe you, Adriel. If anyone can make things right, it's you. But remember, winning her back won't be easy. You have to show her that you've changed, that you're willing to fight for her.""But I have tried my best Omar, we just finished searching for her where she was kidnapped, but we couldn't find her" Adriel said looking at Omar."Where do you think we can find now? She is nowhere to be found, where on earth do you think she is going to be right now." Adriel asked, looking at Omar."But guy, do you know anything about Lola's family or any of his members?" Omar asked, looking at Adriel who was still busy with his phone."Family???" Adriel asked"Yes, I mean do you know more about her or did you just get married without knowing
Lola's POV "True, but he'll never get to see that thing in your womb, I'll make sure of that. Don't worry I won't hurt your baby, it's innocent but I'll father the child and you'll be my wife and we'll live happily ever after, no Adriel to disturb our lives" those words bang on Lola's head leaving her to wonder what kind of man Ben is.Fear took over her body, when wasn't thinking about herself and the baby anymore rather about the plans of Ben to eliminate Adriel.She regretted ever coming close to Ben, she didn't know that Ben is this evil not to talk of killing an innocent soul in her presence so she is now clear that Ben can do whatever he has decided to do.He wants to reach Adriel and ask him not to come for her, she can escape from Ben's trap by all means, but how is she going to escape when she is heavily pregnant."Ben I beg of you don't harm Adriel he didn't do you any bad, rather kill me" Lola said looking at Ben who isn't looking at her but was determined to follow his h
Adriel woke up in the morning sitting down at the edge of his bed, he ran his fingers through the hair on his head. He couldn't believe that Lola was no longer by his side.The past four months of his life have been a life lived on everyday regret, without knowing what else to do. He has always regretted losing the kind Lola who always cared and loved him, but still, he couldn't appreciate but rather overlook it.Now he knows what exactly Lola means to him, he has missed waking up to see a woman who loves him bring in a cup of coffee with beams of a smile on her face saying good morning.It was as if his whole life was starting afresh, he was still in deep thoughts as he didn't know when tears started falling down his cheeks. He raised his head just to see a picture frame of himself and Lola in their wedding dress. The picture reminds him of the day he accepted to be with Lola till death departed them, yet he couldn't fulfill the promise he once made in the presence of his family memb
Continuation “Lola is Diane’s elder sister” Omar released the bomb.“That’s unbelievable Omar, you know how strange people claim to have a connection with someone they have nothing in common with once they see that the person has risen to fame,” Adriel said, disregarding the information.“But that’s not the case here Adriel, she has proved what she showed me and I think that might be true, maybe we should try finding out” Omar suggested.“I don’t believe that’s true Omar and we have an important issue to solve instead of going to find the truth in such information,” Adriel said resting his head on the sofa.“Well if you say so, but I think getting more information about Lola’s Origin will help us find her instead of going about searching for her.” Omar mouthed.“Omar you talk as if you don’t know that time is running behind and she is pregnant and might give birth any time soon, we need to act fast so we can secure Lola and the baby, what if something happens to them while we are busy
