Without hesitation, Josephine slowly stood up, tightly clutching her purse against her chest as if it were her protective shield. "We're leaving, not because of your threats, but for the sake of the children we came here to rescue. You will undoubtedly hear from us again, and when that time comes, it will require more than a cunning lawyer to shield you from our fury."With a subtle nod, she signals her husband and brother in Law to follow her, leading the way to the front door. Once outside, I swiftly secured the door and peered through the window, ensuring they’ve left.They all got into Jude's vibrant red Porsce, and a Mercedes benz. and the vehicles immediately zoomed away.As I let out a deep breath of relief, I made my way back to the living room.

Today, my lingering sour mood from yesterday persisted, and I find myself secretly yearning for a day off to stay at home and wallow in my thoughts. However, deep down, I know that even if I had taken the day off, I would have inevitably grown bored within an hour and ended up coming to work. Despite Grace's comforting words, I couldn't shake off a lingering sense of apprehension about the possibility of my ex-in-laws making another disruptive visit to my house today. To counter this unease, I resolved to leave work earlier than usual so that I can return home in time to spend quality moments with my children before their bedtime.Strangely, I've come to realize that I miss Noah , despite having only met him twice.

"We were married for 7 years together," I replied with a tinge of melancholy in my voice. "That's a considerable amount of time to remain married to someone who is still obsessed with his ex-girlfriend."He nodded sympathetically, understanding the difficult situation I had endured. "So, shall we go in my car or yours?""Listen, Noah ," i said earnestly. "I'm going to need you to step back this time. Let me face this battle alone. It's something I need to confront on my own terms.""I understand your concerns, but I cannot allow you to venture into the lion's den alone. I am already here, and my purpose in coming was to see you. Therefore, let us go together. I assure you, I will not impede your progress or utter a word.""I fail to see how this would be helpful. Your presence alongside me would only confirm their accusations.""Why do you place so much importance on their opinions? You are no longer married to their son, and according to the law, you are single and free to pursue a r

Mrs. P trembled as she anxiously asked, "What should we do?" A Police officer directed her question towards me, "Have you contacted the Lady who usually picks them up from school?"Regrettably, I responded with a feeble voice, "No, I no longer possess her phone number."The Policeman persists, inquiring, "Do you have any other phone numbers of individuals residing in this household?""Yes," I inform him, "I have the parents' phone numbers.""Please, call one of them and inquire about the whereabouts of your children. If possible, record the conversation as it could potentially serve as valuable evidence later on," he instructs.My goodness! It's dawning on me that this situation is gradually transforming into a criminal case. Swiftly, I retrieved my phone from my purse, intending to call my former father-in-law. I dialed the number, but it rang continuously without an answer. I made two more attempts before surrendering in frustration."Try another number," Noah suggests, observing t

After ninety minutes had passed, Noah's friend successfully received a notification indicating the current location of Josephine Benson's phone, thanks to satellite mapping and geotagging. The coordinates pointed to an approximate location in Kirkland, approximately a 20-minute drive from our current location in Bellevue.Curiosity piqued, Noah turned to his friend, Tom, and inquired, "Is it possible to obtain the precise address of that place?"Confidently, Tom responded, "Certainly," swiftly maneuvering his fingers on the keyboard to retrieve the information. He reached into his desk drawer, procured a pen and paper, and hastily jotted down the address where Josephine Benson was likely concealing herself along with Noah's children. Handing the piece of paper to Noah , he declared, "Here it is. And if you wish to see the building, you can check it out here."As he rotated his mouse counterclockwise and pressed the left button, the map displayed on the screen seamlessly zoomed in,

How does Noah manage it all? How does he effortlessly stay on top of his numerous thriving ventures without breaking a sweat? how does he find the time to indulge in personal pursuits, such as embarking on a daring rescue mission reminiscent of something out of a James Bond adventure, like the one we currently found ourselves in?"I've always had reservations about the idea of you hiring your girlfriend to work alongside you," Reina remarked, Noah expressed his disapproval as he asked. "Will you be issuing her a formal inquiry mistake?I raised my eyebrows in surprise at his unexpected question but chose to remain silent. It's not in my place to eavesdrop on their conversation, so I have no right to interject or be taken aback by what he's saying. It's a matter that doesn't concern me. However, I wonder if his question held a literal meaning or if it was a subtle understanding shared between him and Reina ."Handle it," he asserts firmly. "And I mean it, Rei.

"I'm seeking an explanation regarding the current situation. Can someone please provide me with some clarity?"With a cheerful tone, Frank addressed the Officer-in-charge, "Pleasure to meet you, sir. We received an invitation to participate in the rescue mission for this woman's children. Is there an issue with our involvement?"Detective Charlie responded with an intense scowl, countering, "Of course, there is! This is a Police operation, and I fail to see the relevance of the military's presence here. Perhaps you and your team should return to your trucks and depart, allowing the Police to handle this operation."Frank's amiable smile quickly faded, replaced by a menacing frown."I implore you not to force me to forcibly ask you and your associates from this premises. You have two options: either compose yourselves and cooperate with us, or maintain silence and observe the professionals, such as myself and my colleagues, as we handle the situation. So, what is your decision?""Plea

Like me, his gaze remained fixed on the house, awaiting the next turn of events.The phone persists in ringing, exacerbating my already frayed nerves."Will you please answer that?"
