EMILY POV“Where is this happening?” Leo asked.“I think it might be at the company’s auditorium. He obviously set up a diversion so he can play the hero,” I said then grabbed my tablet and tuned it in to the video of his press conference.My hand folded into a fist and I glared at him through the video. Surprisingly, Leo was calm. He simply watched in silence.Kay had mounted the podium and he came close to the microphone and said, “I appreciate the love and support you all had shown to me and my family since we lost my father, Mr. Robbins who has been a great leader and role model in this country, the United States of America…”Jude stepped into our car and sat at the driver’s seat then turned back to see us watching the live coverage of the event.“Kay played a fast one on us. He got some reports here to cover your arrest while the others are at the press conference,” he said“That’s obvious. The real question is what he hopes to achieve with this,” Leo said.“There had been severa

EMILY POVI made my way out of the house to Jude’s car. He was already on standby to tap into Agnes’ phone.A sound beeps on his laptop then Agnes’ lock pattern appeared on the screen. He followed the lock pattern then searched through her phone. He clicked on the message icon and just when we were about scrolling through, she sent a message to one, “Big Brother”.“I think we just found what we’re looking for,” Jude said then clicked on the message. It reads;They have evidence against the boss. Leo knows nothing about it. Emily is becoming very nosy. What’s the next line of action?“I knew there was a mole in this house!” I exclaimed.“We have to confront her,” Jude said.“I’ve called Leo and he’ll be here at any minute,” I said.Jude had instantly scrolled through her messages and downloaded it before she locked her phone again. After a few minutes, Leo pulled into the compound and found us by the car.“Hey babe,” he said and embraced me.“Hi,” I replied and pecked his cheek.“What’

EMILY POVI rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower then got into the closet to put on my outfit. Leo walked into the closet and stood at the door.“You’re acting weird and with everything going on, I’m not at ease,” he said.“There’s nothing going on, Leo. I’m fine. I just need a breath of fresh air to clear my mind,” I said.“Then we could take a short trip or visit our beach side,” he suggested.“We can’t afford to take short trips when you’re contending for the chairmanship position and I’d rather be alone now. Painting can be exhausting and one of the ways to get through is to de-stress. I’ll be back soon, I promise,” I said.After putting on my pants and sweatshirt, I pecked his cheek and raced out of the house before he could oppose me. I had to meet the anonymous person who kept making me nervous and anxious. I got into the car and made my way to the location the person had sent to me.I arrived at the location and stepped out of the car. The restaurant had people leav

EMILY POV“I want to be alone,” I said then stood up from my chair and hastened to my car. I sat behind the steering wheel for minutes but I could not drive. My eyes moved from inside the car to the restaurant and the man was still there, sipping tea and wiping his face. I started my car engine and zoomed off to the villa. It all seemed unreal and impossible but Dane seemed sincere. I wondered if Leo knew all about the kidnappings or if he was in the dark like every other person. I also could not figure out why they kidnapped people. However, one thing was sure. The Robbins family housed the heinous den of the kidnappers.I parked in the garage and made my way to the bedroom where I found Leo. It was unlike him to be in the room at that time of the evening especially since I was not indoors. I could not take my eyes off him as he laid on the bed and typed on his computer. The revelation placed me in an awkward position around him. Since my mind was preoccupied with several thoughts, I

EMILY POV“Yes! Your fault! Is that what you guys have been doing all these while? You cover up your heinous crimes with the R&B Group then pretend to be a hardworking family?” I blurted out without thinking.“I beg your pardon. What is that supposed to mean?” he asked.I held my breath then sighed as a tear rolled out on my cheeks.“Your family has been involved in the various NYC kidnap cases flowing around in the media,” I said, dropping the bomb that could shatter our relationship.“What… Emily, what are you saying? I don’t understand you,” he said.“The Robbins family kidnapped Max and I have proof that they did,” I said.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Emily. You should not be the one to tarnish my family’s image like this. What if this gets out?” he asked“Oh! You’re afraid that this might get out? So you knew about it,” I said“Know about what?! How can you just cook up such a silly accusation and you expect me to believe that?” he said as he was starting to grow angr
