Max sat inside his car, sipping his cup of coffee while waiting for a friend that he had just contacted. His father was going through surgery, and he could not wait to get back to him as soon as possible.But he had suddenly noticed Des walking towards him. Max felt relieved because for a moment there he was starting to think that he wasn't going to show up.“What took you this long?”“I am sorry, I couldn't leave because the boss was in the office, and we all just had to show how dedicated we were, you know how those things work.”“Yeah, so did you get what I asked you for?”“Not sure though. "I tried going through the hospital's file and, just like they informed you, payment was made in cash, so I ran through a database on all those that had come in that day and made a payment in cash.”“Did you find out?”“Not sure though, but I scanned through the footage of the hospital and this was the only man that had made a huge payment in cash that day. In fact, he was the only one that made

Slowly, Sasha opened her eyes, everywhere seemed blurry to her and her head was pounding. She tried to adjust to the bright light in the room while also trying to comprehend where she was.But after a while, everything started to return to normal. The place was no longer blurry and, even with the bright light, she could see right inside the room and was able to tell that this was not her home nor was it anywhere that she was familiar with.As she thought about it, she immediately recalled the previous event that took place before she was here and as she thought about it, the realization suddenly struck her: she was abducted.Just while she was still engrossed in her thoughts and thinking about what to do and how this was going to play out, a man walked in.The light shone so bright that she could not see the door. But as the figure stepped closer to her, a man was standing before her, dressed in a black suit, but the thing here was the fact that he was wearing a mask, one that was ide

While Ethan drove her back to her home, both of them could not stop chatting. The more they did, the more Ethan got to know more about her and her life.“Why did you choose to conceal your identity?” She suddenly asked and, as she did, she instantly regretted it, especially seeing the sore expression on his face.“It's not something that I enjoy talking about”“Oh!” She muttered, even though there was still so much she wanted to talk about, she wasn't sure about it.“Listen Sasha, I went through so much in the hands of the Steele while I was married to their daughter. I was never regarded as their son-in-law, rather they made me a slave and, as a result of that, I knew that I had to keep it away, which had made this business a success for me.”“Thank you”“What! Why are you thanking me?”“This is the first time that you have sincerely opened up to me, and I am grateful for that.”He nodded his head, not saying anything to her. “So how did it go with Sophia?” Sasha went on with the con

The next day, Ethan thought to himself that he was finally ready to have that conversation with Sasha. He swung the door open, and she was relaxing on the bed reading a magazine.He had ordered the household staff to make sure that she was comfortable and gave her everything that she needed at her disposal. Even though she couldn't leave, he wanted to make sure that she had everything she needed.He hadn't seen her in a few days and as he stepped in, she dropped the magazine she was reading and lifted her gaze at him.“Look who the cat dragged in here. "I was wondering how long it was going to take for you to come and see me, or is it how much you hate me that you can't even bring yourself to look at me.”She insisted, but he still maintained a bright smile on his face as he settled right next to her. “How have you been?” he asked, gently squeezing her arm, but she pulled away, rolled her eyes at him.“What would you care? I don't know what you think that you are doing, but if you ar

Max had been warned by the hospital that if he was not able to provide the necessary funds needed to sustain his father, he would have to be moved to the public ward.And knowing fully well that his father is a public figure and such a display would sprout rumors around, Max did not want to see that happening. But right now, the doctors and nurses were rushing towards them, not to mention they held a wheel.“What is going on here?” Sophia was the first to ask, her eyes trailing at each one of them in confusion.“The surgery will take place by noon, we need to run some tests before the surgery.”“Surgery, what are you talking about? I don't have the money yet but I–”“All expenses for Mr. Steele surgery has been paid”, the nurse explained, staring at both of them as she noticed that they had no clue regarding this information.They both froze there, not sure of what to say. With their silence, the nurses hurried inside and this time, Max had jerked back to reality as he went after the

Sophia arrived back home and everywhere was deserted, even all of the household staff could not be found. As she walked around the house, she grew even more confused, trying to comprehend what was going on.The more she walked around the house, the more her thoughts ran wild as she grew more furious, wondering if they had bothered searching for her all this while or, in their minds, she was just like a deserted person.But just as she walked to the back of the house, she was almost startled to finally see someone. It was the gardener watering the plants.“Hey!” She called out to him in a very rude manner, without minding the fact that he was just the same age as her father.The gardener rushed over to her side, both his hands clasped together in respect. “Miss Sophia!”“Where is everyone?” She asked, and he raised his head, wondering where she had been all this while, not having had any clue of what had been going on.“Mr. Max has fired the entire staff working here. I am the only sta
