“Why?” Ryan asked quietly.“Just normal stuff. How I fell in love with him. Stuff like that.”“Am I safe?” Ryan asked, again, quietly.“Sure. Why?” “Even when I asked after we got married, you didn't tell me about how you fell in love with him.”“Things are different now.” After a few seconds, she continued. “When I was eight, I almost died…”“Sorry.” Stephanie chuckled. “I didn't say that so you could tell me sorry.” Ryan glanced at her. They both chuckled.“I wasn't looking at the road…a car out of nowhere was speeding toward me…all of a sudden, a guy about my age came out of nowhere and dragged me off the road. He fell…I think he broke an arm. I tried looking for the boy before we left New York, but I couldn't find him. You couldn't imagine my joy later when I saw Anderson, he looked just like the guy,” Stephanie said.“Funny. I think something like that happened when I was eight. There w

The next afternoon, Ryan took a cigarette, he was about to light it when Brenda took the lighter away from him. He glanced at her.“You might be annoying but I don't want you dying anytime soon.”Ryan fiddled with the cigarette between his fingers and stared into space. “I will secure a place for them to stay soon,” Ryan said.“I'm not talking about that.”Ryan sighed.“How about they close the company for the time being?” “The board of directors are against that.”“That's total nonsense! What will they do? Continue watching those protesters in front of the company?” Ryan dropped the cigarette on the table and walked to the window. The problem is Anderson. If they try to talk some sense into the idiot’s head and try to come to an agreement on what he wants, things would be sorted out.“Where is Stephanie?” Brenda asked.“I dropped her at the company this morning.”“Is she o

Ryan stared, eyes widened at Mrs Hill. She got eggs all over her body. Her face was red, a few scratches on her hand.“What are all these?” Stewart asked, rushing over to his mother.“The protesters are not making it any easier,” Mrs Hill muttered.“It's their money we're talking about here; how would you feel if you're in their shoes? The stock…” Cathy shook her head.“You need a cool bath first, after that, we'll see what we can do,” Stewart suggested.Mrs Hill went inside but soon came back. “I'm sorry, Ryan, where is Brenda?” “She left for her boyfriend’s house some hours ago.”“Oh…”“Any problem?” “Not really.” She smiled in a way that made Ryan swear she was trying to hide her embarrassment. “I thought I might get some change of clothes from her.”“Let me go check. But you all should get some clothes.” Ryan gave his card to Stewart. “You will need some clothes, how about you go buy them

“When I ask you a question, answer me.” Stephanie's eyes widened. She tried to talk but no sound came out.“You care for water?” Anderson asked.“No. Thanks. Why are you doing this?” Anderson dropped the gun on the table. He walked to the fridge in the room and took a box of pizza. He brought it back to the table and sat down opposite Stephanie.“You want pizza?” He asked her.She shook her head no.Anderson took a bite of the pizza. “You remember when you were eight?” “Yes.”“There was a car speeding toward you then all of a sudden, a guy came around and saved you?”Stephanie stared at him, eyes widened. “How did you know about it? I didn't…did I tell you?” Anderson laughed. “You don't have to tell me some things before I know, babe. I was the guy riding the car.”“Oh…” Stephanie smiled. “You might have lost control over the car. How could you be driving as a minor?”

Stephanie nodded. “Yes… he is…” she watched him hold the gun. “He's a lunatic, Anderson. You don't have to get worked up because of a lunatic.” Anderson glanced at her. The wide look slowly fading from his face. “Did I beg him for a scholarship? Just because I was poor…imagine that nonsense?” “Yes…it's nonsense.”“You are going to pay for it, babe. For being his favourite child, you are going to pay for treating me unfairly.”“Of course, I'll. Just…just tell me what to do.”“I'mma kill you. You go meet your father wherever the fuck he is and continue being his favourite.” Stephanie felt cold. Like all her body felt like it was dead already. Death? Would she die? Does Anderson really want to kill her? “If not for your damn grandfather, I'd have completed this mission a long time ago.”“Grandfather?” Stephanie asked before she could stop herself. Anderson didn't seem to get offended by or maybe he just decided

Stephanie's jaw dropped to the ground.“All the time you guys were thinking he was the one who took it, I was doing my stuff with it but…seems someone helped you out. Who was the person who helped you renew the partnership terms?”For some moment when there was no answer from Stephanie, Anderson took the gun and pointed it at her. He shot the wall behind her, causing her to jump on the chair.He smiled at the shock he was seeing on her face. “Answer my question as soon as I ask it, babe.” “I don't…I don't have any idea who renewed the document.” There was a knock on the door before it opened.“Sir, the man is here.” “Awesome.” Anderson untied Stephanie’s hands and legs. He held the gun against her head and led her outside.The place looked like a hall with no chairs. It was quite dark compared to the room where they had come out from. Stephanie had to adjust her eyes to the surroundings before she noticed Ry

“Like hell, this is an emergency!” “Go get your card first. Without that, we can't do anything,” another nurse said.“Card? Where should I get the card?” Stephanie asked, sweat already all over her body, but the two nurses had left.A sympathetic patient pointed at the receptionist’s desk to her.Stephanie left Cathy lying on the ground and rushed to the receptionist. “Card. I want the card.”“For VIPs, you pay a thousand dollars, for middle class, you pay five hundred dollars, for lower class, you pay ten—”“Just give me anyone,” Stephanie said impatiently.“Are you paying with cash or with a card?” “Give me the damn card first, I'll pay later. You know me, right? I'll pay ten times—”“We don't give cards on credit, ma'am. You can go ahead and search for another hospital that does that.” “Look… my sister is dying over there. Admit her first! She's losing blood!”“I'm sorr

Stephanie fell back on the seat.“Can we see her now?” Ryan asked.“I'm sorry, no. She's still in a coma as we are talking but we do hope she comes around within the next three days. Other than that, she's okay,” the doctor said. “By tomorrow morning, you might be able to see her though.”“Okay. Thanks,” Ryan said.The doctor bowed and went back inside the OR.“Mr Ryan, can I see you for a moment?” The man Ryan had called earlier asked.Ryan glanced at Stephanie. “Will you be okay?” “Sure. I'll grab us some coffee at the lounge.” Ryan nodded and went after the man.In the man's office, Ryan sat on the chair opposite the man.“First, I want to apologize for what the doctors caused you.”“There must have been a reason why that happened. I don't suppose anyone can do that to Steph without no reason,” Ryan said.“Well…” the man scratched his neck. “There was an order from above

Later in the evening, Ryan decided to go home to get some change of clothes. “I'll inform Stewart and warn him not to tell Mom because of her blood pressure,” Stephanie said.“If she asks about Cathy, you can just say she's with me.”“Alright.” Ryan went by the glass door to check on Cathy before he finally left.He inputted his passcode and opened the door to his apartment. There was a little paperwork on the table. “Welcome, man,” Landon said from the kitchen.Ryan sniffed the air. “Something smells nice.” “It might be what I'm making.”Ryan walked over to the kitchen. He sniffed the air again. “It's what you're cooking.” “How are things? Heard about the drop in stock and it doesn't sound funny.”Ryan took a spoon and tasted what was on the cooker. “It’s all Anderson's doing.”Landon glanced at him. That was when Ryan noticed the bags under Landon's eyes. “Wha

Even the damn video game Stewart was playing got pretty boring as the time went by. When was the fucking last time he had to stay in a place for two straight hours? This is damn stupid.He took off the damn headphones from his head just in time to hear the ringing of the doorbell. Who the fuck is at the door? Stephanie is at the hospital with Cathy and it doesn't seem like Brenda or Ryan would ring the doorbell when they know the passcode. He walked over to the door and looked at the dashboard. A man in some damn uniform was holding a package in his hand.“Mom, did you order pizza?” He asked before he realized it wasn't possible. She didn't have any money on her.Or…could Ryan have ordered it for them? Stewart opened the door. Without warning, two men in black forced their way in. The third man came in after them. The third one…Anderson.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Stewart snapped.“I wouldn
