Rubby and Sky escaped, while the rest of the men were captured. "Call an ambulance!" I shouted in fear. Agent Miller immediately called out to his men, telling them to get the ambulance to the site. "Stay with me, honey. I promise you're going to be fine." Alex promised, seeing the frightened look on her face. "I need everyone to please exit the building." Agent Miller shouted as many of Ruby's hostages were released. The wailing sound of the ambulance was heard as it got closer. The men came out of the van and had Paulina's body carried in. Alex wanted to follow them, but Miller had him stay back to help with the ongoing investigation. "Don't worry, she would be fine." " Fine? I don't think you understand how severe her injuries were." Alex shouted in anger as he entered the van. As the ambulance drove into the night, the doctor in charge tried to stabilize Paulina's heartbeat, and he also applied pressure to her wound. He looked at the gunshot wound and looked at Alex. "Is she goi

Xavier was in his room when he heard the news and Rubby was declared wanted by the authorities. " what?" He looked at the television set before. His mind raced with the possible outcome if Rubby was caught. He knew he needed to act fast and break all ties with him. Richard Dickson would have him murdered if he heard he was in collaboration with Rubby to have his only daughter kidnapped. Xavier was about to make a call to some of his lawyers when a strange number came in. Picking up the call Xavier said nothing. " Hello," Rubby's voice was visibly heard. " Ruby? Is that you?" Xavier asked trying to keep his voice low. Sandra was asleep and he didn't want to wake her up. " I told you this was a bad idea. What did you do?" " Listen to me, there is no time to shift blame right now. I need to get out of the country and you are going to help me. " Rubby said assertively" What do you mean help you? Do you want me to be one a fugitive?" Xavier shouted and quickly covered his mouth " Don't

The air was thick with tension as Agent Miller and the rest of the police squad rushed into Xavier's home, kicking and banging at the door. "Hands where I can see them!" Miller shouted, seeing the couples in bed. "What is going on?" Sandra pretended to yawn while getting out of bed with her husband. "Where is he?" Miller shouted, asking his men to fan out and search all the rooms. "Bring him out!." He shouted again, making Sandra and Xavier a little scared. After the men had gone through the nooks and crannies of the house, they came back looking confused. "He is not here." Agent Alice looked at Miller. "This is a false alarm." Miller looked at the two mischievous beings right in front of him. He walked closer to Xavier, pinning him against the wall. "You are going to tell me where the hell Rubby is, or I swear to God, I was going to put a bullet in your head." "I don't know what you are talking about. You came into my home without a warrant and harassed me and my family. Isn't th

The news about Paulina's capture and release spread throughout the whole company. Many well-wishers came to greet her and console her. While some who have been envious of us said she deserved it, Most of them thought Paulina had sent Henrietta out of the organization by making Alex pick her over Henrietta. Alex was in his office when Paulina walked in. Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see her standing in front of him. "What are you doing here?" Alex asked, looking worried. "I thought I gave you some time to rest. I can handle things over here, so take your time to rest." "I am fine, Alex. Besides, my mind would always be here, with you. Can you please not send me back home?" She pleaded Alex looked at her and didn't know what to say. "Fine, but promise me you are going to take things easy." "I will," Paulina replied, raising her left palm to swear. Alex chuckled, seeing the look on her face. "Alright, and make sure you take your medications." Alex's phone rang, and he picked

The next morning, Ethan Walsh arrived at Alex’s office at exactly 9 a.m. He was a tall man with sharp features, exuding an air of quiet confidence. Paulina met him at the entrance and led him to the conference room where Alex was waiting."Alex, this is Ethan Walsh," Paulina introduced them.Alex extended his hand. "Thank you for coming on such short notice, Ethan. We need your help."Ethan shook Alex's hand firmly. "I'm happy to help. Paulina briefed already on why I am here, but I’d like to hear the details from you."They sat around the conference table, and Alex began outlining the situation. "Xavier Richmond is a dangerous man. He's behind several criminal activities, including the murder of my parents and the recent kidnapping of my fiancée, Paulina. We believe he's hiding someone named Rubby, who can provide crucial information to bring Xavier down."Ethan nodded, taking notes. "Do you have evidence linking Xavier to these crimes, or any leads on Rubby’s whereabouts?"Alex shoo
