Hey, dearest readers. How have you been enjoying the story so far? I want y'all to know that your comments and votes would go a long way for me and I would appreciate it if you could drop more reviews. Anyways, what do you say about Mrs. Preston? (Sapphire?) Do you think leaving home was the best thing she could have done?
AUTHOR’S POV.“Now, what is going on?” Liam asked as he glanced at Daniel and then returned to look at the road.“Hey, Alfred,” Daniel said as the receiver picked up the call.“Sir.”“Gather the best hackers on the team… or find them wherever you can and bring them to the base. I’ll be waiting,” he said and then ended the call.“Sapphire has no reason to leave the house, I am sure of that,” he turned to look at Liam.“So, you think he kidnapped her?”“No… they probably threaten her. We gotta find Isabella’s mother. There’s no way I’m sitting still with everything that’s going on,” Daniel shook his head.“Yeah, we gotta find her,” Liam nodded his head.==Sapphire finally got out of the bed rather grudgingly. She walked to the curtain, pulled it to the side, and then looked out of the glass.Her stomach had been protesting all through the night as she was very hungry. She had not eaten anything since she left the house the previous day, and right now, she felt like she would faint.She
AUTHOR’S POV.“We should start going home, Daniel,” Liam said to Daniel as he returned to the base.“Not now,” Daniel groaned from where he sat.His eyes were pinned on the huge screen in the room as the other men were working on the laptop.“Daniel,” Liam palmed his forehead.Since they left home in the morning, they had not returned to the house nor had Daniel slept off or taken a bit of water or food.He had at least slept off for about an hour and had had a bit of food to eat.Daniel refused to do anything. He only watched as the men worked hoping a lead could come on.“Daniel,” he called her name again.“It’s past ten,” he added.When Daniel did not even act like he heard him again, he sighed and went to settle on the chair beside one of the men.Hilda’s call came in for the umpteenth time and he declined it again.Liam pressed his lips together and clasped his hands together as he wondered if he should keep cooperating with Sapphire or if he should tell him what was going on ind
EPISODE 178. THE D-DAY.AUTHOR’S POV.Liam laid Daniel on the bed even though the man groaned in protest.It was the third day that Sapphire had left home and Daniel had still not returned home. He had not eaten too, and it took him a long time before he made the man drink water early in the morning.He understood his friend but he wished there were other ways he could persuade him to eat and that his wife was going to return to him soon— only that there was no way he would tell him that without telling him how he knew that.Daniel rolled on his stomach and grabbed the pillow to himself. He clutched it closer to him and moaned Sapphire’s name.After staring at Daniel for a while, Liam turned to leave the room and then went to meet the others who were in the living room.“How is he?” Alice asked him.“He will be fine. He just needs to rest,” he answered as he glanced at Hilda who rested her head on Mogan’s thigh as she sat on the floor.“I think you guys should go home. M
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire adjusted her top as she stared at the laptop again. She knew a day like this was going to come, but she did not know it would come so soon.She watched as Agatha entered the room and then walked to the dressing table to grab her bag. When she was done, she closed the laptop and then almost immediately, she heard a bell.She carried the laptop in her arm and then carried her bag in another hand then exited the room.“Ma’am,” the driver that had brought her here greeted as she opened the door.“Let’s go,” she said.“How long would it take for us to return to the city at the highest speed?” She asked as she walked after him.The man glanced at his wristwatch and then answered. “There is no traffic so, let’s say about an hour,” He said.While she was coming here, they had spent about two to three hours on the road as there was mad traffic.“Are you confident? We gotta get there as soon as we can,” she said.“Yes, ma’am.”The man held the door for her and as she was
AUTHOR’S POV.“Woah, that is too easy,” he laughed as he entered the house with Agatha.“I’ve been here for several years, so of course, they trust me when I say you’re my family,” she smacked her tongue and then twitched her mouth at the few maids who were in the living room.“Ah… Mr. Liam sent him to come do something here,” she said to them.“Follow me,” she said to Damien and then headed to the stairs.“Did you bring it?” She asked as they ascended the stairs side by side.“Yeah, sure. What are we doing now?” He asked.“Follow me.”As they entered the room, Damien slammed the door harshly behind him and then moved over to the bed where Daniel was lying.“Is he dead?” He asked.“Dead? He’s just sleeping! Hand it over to me, hurry,” she snapped her fingers.Damien dipped his hand in his pocket, removed a syringe and a needle then handed it over to Agatha.Agatha collected it from him and then moved over to the bed. She knelt on the bed beside Daniel and as she inserted the needle on
AUTHOR’S POV.“Can’t you drive faster?!” Sapphire hollered as she burst into tears.“I’m sorry, ma’am. We will get home soon,” he said as he stepped on the gas.Sapphire picked up her phone and then pressed her lips together. At this point, there was no one she could call anymore, and she could only hope that nothing would happen till she got home.Calling Hilda in this situation was going to be the last thing she would do, so instead, she dropped the phone and returned to watching the screen.If she had been told that Agatha was as wild as this, then she would have disagreed.This woman was literally so down to earth that she took her for a mother.She respected and admired her so much.Turning out to be their greatest enemy was something she would have never seen coming. No one would ever have.Daniel killed Agatha’s daughter?How?===“You…” Liam frowned as he pinned his eyes on Damien.“Yeah, me,” he flashed her a smile.“Fuck!”Liam slammed his palm against his head and then his
AUTHOR’S POV.“Don't honk,” Sapphire said to the driver as he approached the big gate of their house and he nodded his head.When the car pulled in front of the gate, she got out of the car hurriedly and then rushed to the gate. She knocked on it gently and almost immediately, the gate pulled open and the security man’s face lit up as he saw her.“Madam!” He exclaimed.“Hi,” she waved her hand and then dashed inside.While she hurriedly waved her hands at the other men who looked at her in excitement, she placed her index finger on her lips as she hurried to the big door.She can’t afford to let them know that she is here yet.“Ma…”“Shhh,” she hushed the maids who almost screamed at her sight, and then moved over to one of them.“How are you?” She asked while her eyes were fixed on the stairs.“Ma’am,” she whined.“You all should stay quiet, don’t make noise, please,” she said and then moved away from the lady.Slowly, she ascended the stairs and then headed to their room.When she
AUTHOR’S POV.“Why did you do that?” Daniel asked when he broke the hug.“I am sorry,” she shook her head.“Why… Did you not trust me? Why did…” he sighed and when his eyes finally dropped on Agatha and Damien who sat in a corner of the room, wincing in pain, he breathed out and turned to look at her again.“Let’s sort this out first,” she said to him.Daniel pressed his lips together and looked around the room again.“Welcome, bro,” Liam waved his hands at him.Daniel touched his neck which hurt a little and he fondled Sapphire’s hand with his other hand.“Before we sort anything out. Daniel, what did I hear about you being threatened for four years or something?” Mogan drew her brows together.Daniel groaned and then shook his head. He knew that a day like this would come and no matter what he said, his parents would not take it easy with him for hiding it from them.“I’ve been receiving death threats for four years,” Daniel said as he dropped his eyes on Agatha.When he stared deepl
