While Ryan still held Theresa hostage, he had kept his eyes on her all through the night, and he had noticed the fact that she had refused to eat anything, and yet she spent all of the night throwing up.At first, he thought that it was just probably the smell of the place, and maybe the stench was too strong for her to bear.But after it had gone on for a while, he immediately suspected that there was something wrong with her. Knowing fully well that he did not want her to die before he had gotten what he wanted from her, he decided to run some tests by himself.He had found out that she was pregnant, but didn't dare to tell her, knowing fully well that this would turn out to be important in the long run.And indeed it had become very important to him, just when Daniel was torturing the hell out of him."What did you just say?" Daniel asked, since he was not sure if he had heard right."You heard me right, your wife… she is pregnant, and she hasn't had anything to eat since yesterday

Ryan seeing the weapon that was just about to be used on him, he lifted his hand up in panic. “Wait please, I do have something to say” he had spoken in a hurry and Danile stopped and now staring at him. “Go ahead and speak because I do not have all day” Daniel grunt impatiently. “Theresa is still alive, of course there is no ash that you thought that j would kill my own baby sister right?” He forced a smile on his face and Danile didn't know whether to be relieved by the words yet he could already tell that Ryan would be a very easy man to get through. “But j am not going to tell you where she is, if course not that easily, there is a catch” “A catch?” Daniel asked with a smirk on his lips. “Yes. J must be the one to have to take you there and if I don't, then you will ever find her” “Is that so?” Daniel asked and held out the pliers while he walked over to where Daniel was standing. “You seem to forget right now that you are a prisoner and I get to do just anything I wna

As Lisa stood in front of Daniel's bedroom door she realized she did not have the key.She walked across the corridor to the room opposite his and found that the door was unlocked. That was Theresa's room.Just as she stepped inside Paul came hurrying up the stairs behind her."How can you be so certain there is money in this house. Please tell me you have not been sneaking in here before without telling me."Paul asked as they stood alone in Theresa's room. He was still trying to figure out where to look while Lisa had already gone straight to the wardrobe like she knew exactly what she was doing.It felt to Paul like she had been in this room before."I do not know for certain that there is money here. I just have a feeling. And even if we do not find cash have you seen the kind of jewelry that Theresa wears every day."Lisa asked without slowing down.Paul shook his head slowly."I have not. I suppose that is women's business. You cannot expect me to be watching my daughter in law

Lisa made breakfast very late today, not because she had woken up late but because her mind had been occupied with something else and because of that, she almost forgot all about breakfast.And by the time she had finally decided to make the breakfast, Paul and Maya did not dare to complain, instead Maya had assists her in the kitchen.As they all sat down to eat, she had not said anything during the meal, especially since her daughter was present. It was bad enough as it was, and she did not want to involve her daughter in their mess any further than she already had been, yet she knew she had a lot to say and just had to be patient.The family of three ate in silence, and as they ate, only the sound of cutlery on their plates could be heard Once they were done, Maya cleared out the table before informing them that she had to leave right away.“Mom, j have to pick up something real quick”She had told them but Lisa didn't bother asking where she was going. She wanted her out of the ho

Ryan slowly opened his eyes and realized he was in a strange environment, one he had never been in before. The air there was very damp and cold, carrying a faint smell of rust and something else he couldn't quite place at that time. He tried to get up, and that was when he realized his hands and feet were fully tied to the chair beneath him.Fear immediately took hold of him. His eyes darted around, adjusting slowly to the light barely illuminating the space, enough for him to make out that he was in some kind of basement.He was able to tell that it was a basement from the fact that there was no basement there and not to mention he could not even see the door from where he was seated. At first, confusion clouded his mind, wondering how exactly he had ended up here. But slowly, the memories began trickling back, the car, the chloroform, the way Daniel had turned around with that unnerving smile still fully alert.Fear gripped him even tighter the moment full realization hit, he had

Ryan had spent the last few hours thinking through several ways he could get to Daniel.His first idea had been to send men to attack him directly and retrieve the black card by force. But after thinking it through for a long time, he realized that would be a waste of resources. and given the fact that he didn't have much of it left right now, he couldn't afford to waste any more time on a plan that might not even work.Every man he could have called on was either locked up somewhere, or had cut ties with him the moment word got out that he had been thrown in prison and was no longer in charge of Blackwell Corporation.Loyalty, Ryan had come to learn bitterly, only existed for as long as a man's pockets remained full. But he had plans of making all of them pay once he had returned to power, which he believed would be sooner. That was when another idea had crossed his mind, because to him, Daniel was nothing more than a kept man, soft, spoiled, and easy to deal with. A man who lived
