Once Theresa was done with the press conference she was escorted straight to her office by security to prevent anyone from getting too close given the large crowd still surrounding the building.Cameras contined to flicker around, it was like they were not satisfied with her and wanted to ask more and more questions but Theresa knew that it was time to leave. As soon as she was inside others began filing in behind her."Ma'am. Are you alright." It was the project manager Ethan standing next to her with concern in his eyes. But she was not buying it. She could not believe that someone had pulled off what they did at a site he was supposed to be in charge of and yet he claimed to have no knowledge of it."I am fine." She forced herself to say. But her eyes were quietly scanning the room looking only for Daniel. His presence was the one thing that could give her the comfort she needed right now."Should I get you a glass of water." It was Harry now standing beside her with the same conc

Daniel made sure Theresa had eaten every last trace of the meal before he finally handed her the bottle of water.She gulped it down and while she did she kept her eyes on him like she was patiently waiting for him to speak."Go ahead and tell me what the plan is." She said the moment she was done and he chuckled knowing exactly how hard she had fought not to ask earlier."Come closer. I do not want anyone else to hear so I will have to whisper it." He suggested and she did not think twice about it. She moved closer and he began whispering into her ear.Theresa said nothing. She listened with complete attention and from the expression slowly building on her face it was obvious she was satisfied with everything he was saying.Once Daniel was done she left the office and gathered everyone into the hall for the second part of the meeting."I want to see all your proposals on how we can rebuild the City View site." She requested with her legs crossed looking completely composed. Like none

Aurora Ferguson and her father James stood at the office, Aurora could not stop pacing around while biting her lower lip, they had watched the entire press conference right from the comfort of the office, and since then, both father and daughter had been so tense."You need to calm down," he urged her, but even if she wanted to calm down, she could not, because clearly she knew what was at stake and had not a single clue what to do about it.Just then, the phone on the table rang, it was almost as if this same phone call had been the one they had been waiting for all this while.Without hesitation, James picked up the call and placed it right on speaker."Speak!" He said in a deep voice, impatiently."I think we have been made, the security had a keylet, he was captured""What!" James and his daughter growled in unison. "How the hell did it happen, I thought you told me you had paid him off and he was already out of the country?""That is what I also thought," the other voice at the e

The moment Harry heard about the security guard who had been captured, he wasted no time and began gathering a few things from his office.His hands moving so fast and his heart was throbbing so hard that it felt like whoever was at the other office could hear the sound. Austin walked in shortly after and quickly shut the door behind him.His eyes scanned the room like he was making sure no one was listening before he finally let out a deep breath which seemed like he had been holding it all this while."What did she say. Did she give you the address to the precinct." Harry asked in a very low voice. Austin shook his head. Both of them had sweat dripping down their faces despite the air conditioning."I already spoke to the boss. He will send money. But right now we need to leave and stay out of sight until things settle down."Austin did not argue. Instead he helped Harry pack some vital items into the bag because it was clear to both of them that they would not be returning to this

The drive back to the Blackwell estate was quiet. Daniel had the wheel while Theresa sat right beside him. She was completely exhausted after everything that had happened and all she wanted was rest."Do you need us to stop anywhere. Any groceries." He asked softly noticing how she kept yawning and resting her head against the window."No. I am fine. I will just take something from the fridge when we get in.""So what is the next plan.""What.""What do you plan to do now that we have those two in custody. The initial damage has been contained. But what about the construction itself. What are you going to do about that.""We are going to have to start the entire construction over again. It is going to be a significant blow to our finances but there is no other way around it.""It will not be easy. But I can tell you that you have already gotten through the hardest part.""I know." She muttered. Her voice was barely above a whisper like she was somewhere far away in her thoughts. But t

Daniel walked into the dark room as every form of warmth that had been on his face all this while he was with his wife had faded away.He stood in front of them, and Viper turned on the light, that way they could see his face, and he as well could see every one of their emotions in play."I had a very long day, and I don't waste time here, you can answer questions in time or waste my time and pay for it"He groaned, his voice deep and menacing, carrying so much weight, yet the two men didn't seem like they took it seriously as they stared at each other with a flicker of amusement.Daniel had seen that look too many times to know exactly what it meant, each time, everyone had always underestimated him, and each time, he ended up proving them wrong."You are the husband, did Ms. Theresa send you, because if she did, then she must be more stupid than we thought"Harry clicked his tongue in a disgusted manner as he spoke, no doubt that he had not a single clue what was right in front of h

Harry kept urging Austin not to say a word reminding him that the people they worked for were far more dangerous than Daniel could ever be. But Austin did not care about that. He had to survive first before he could think about anything else.Austin went ahead and explained every single detail to Daniel leaving absolutely nothing out about how the entire thing had unfolded.What neither of them knew was that Daniel had it all recorded. And by the time they were done he had already sent the footage to four separate media houses. That way the Ferguson family would not be able to stop the video from going viral no matter how fast they moved.Once Daniel had everything he needed Viper handcuffed both men attached a copy of the video to their persons and drove them straight to the police station.He threw both men on the ground with their legs and hands bound making it impossible for either of them to move. By the time the officers rushed outside to see what was happening it was already to

Daniel tossed around for a while before his hand reached the side of the bed where Theresa was supposed to be sleeping. He realized she was not there before he even opened his eyes.He got up calmly and went straight to his phone. Just as he had anticipated every blog and news outlet was now carrying the story about the Ferguson family's involvement in the Blackwell sabotage.He was satisfied with that. He also knew that James Ferguson would not sit still after seeing it. But Daniel planned to act first because this was the second time they had come after him and now it was his turn to strike. Once and hard.Daniel freshened up before heading downstairs. He was surprised to hear raised voices coming from the kitchen. It sounded like an argument."What is going on here." He said firmly as he appeared at the kitchen entrance. The voices stopped immediately.He stood at the doorway and took in the scene. The realization that his mother had been speaking to his wife in that manner made hi

"Hello!""Have you done it!" That was the first question that Lisa had asked as soon as she picked up, she had been so restless all through the day, and even when her daughter asked about what was going on, she had tried to wave off the situation.And the moment the call came through, she was hoping deep inside her heart that indeed he was able to get the pin right and had withdrawn whatever amount that was in there."No. I tried his birthday and yours, but it did not work, we have just one more attempt left, I did not want it to fail, which is why I thought that it was wise for me to call you first before I start"Lisa was silent, since she had no clue what it could be, because in truth, she had not been very close with her son and didn't care about the things he liked or not."Maybe we should try that of his wife, I mean we should find out her birthday, could it be it?"She suggested, but Paul shook his head. "I don't think that is it. He had only just gotten married to her a few mo

Although Paul and his wife Lisa had concluded that they were going to take every single cent in that account, since Daniel had such money all this while and had let them suffer this much.To think that they had to go on their knees and beg with every will they had inside of them before he finally let them into the house, this even made them even more furious.But now they knew that withdrawing the money was the challenge at hand right now, knowing fully well that there was no way that they would be able to withdraw such a huge amount of money from the ATM machine, and one wrong move would ruin everything."I think it's best we wait until tomorrow, you go straight into the bank and make the withdrawal"Lisa had suggested after the both of them kept going back and forth for a while on how the withdrawal would happen."No! That is very dangerous, what if I go into the bank and they find out that I am not the owner of the account?" Paul asked in a shaky voice while looking over his should
