"Are you sure about this?"
Nolan nodded gravely. "Yes, Madam. The software of President lift is impossible to break. The technician who fixed the lift confirmed that the software had been tampered with so that you couldn't use it. And when you opted to use the staff lift, it was broken intentionally right before you were about to go in. It was clear that someone had planned to harm you.”
She felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought about what could have happened if she had been in the lift when it broke down. The idea that someone was after her was terrifying. She had never felt so vulnerable before.
Nolan was watching her with concern, and she could tell that he was equally disturbed by the incident. She turned to him, "Do you have any idea who could have done this?"
Nolan shook his head, "I am not sure, but we are looking into it. We are checking the CCTV footage and talking to the security personnel to see if they noticed anything suspicious."
Sara nodded, "Okay, keep me updated. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help with the investigation."
Nolan assured her and left the room to continue with his investigation. Sara sat there for a few moments, trying to calm her nerves. She felt like she was in danger, and she didn't know what to do about it.
Sara also spoke to the security team at the office, and asked them to increase their surveillance around the building. She wanted to make sure that they were doing everything possible to keep her and the other employees safe.
The incident had been a wake-up call for her, and she realized that she needed to take her safety seriously.
Days were passing by.
Neither Yohan Dixon could be traced nor the person who attacked Sara Owen.
And then one day, Kevin Johnson called Sara Owen to meet again.
As Sara entered the hotel room, she locked eyes with the tall and attractive man.
Kevin's expression softened as he saw Sara standing there, her baby bump clearly indicating that she would be giving birth soon. He reminded himself that she was the mother of Yohan's child, and he shouldn't think of her in any romantic way. However, he couldn't help but admire her beauty.
He put out his cigarette in the ashtray and reached out to gently hold her hand.
“Let me help you.”
“It’s okay.” She carefully placed her purse on the couch and sat down slowly.
Kevin glanced down at his empty hand and then smiled at Sara, choosing to ignore his feelings.
"I do have something that might help you. Before Ricky was kidnapped, some people were following him, who are now in my custody.
After he said that, he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. There were two guys tied up in a room, getting beaten by some other dude. It was like one of those security camera recordings. Kevin was puffing on a cig and interrogating the two guys while the other guy was doing the beating. Sara watched everything closely and listened intently.
Kevin switched off the TV and turned to face Sara. "Have you ever seen these guys before?"
"No, I haven't.”
"They didn't give us any information on who hired them to follow Ricky, but I did find two mobile phones on them with some interesting stuff..." Kevin trailed off, causing Sara to panic.
"Don't freak me out like that.”
Kevin grabbed a photograph from the desk and placed it in front of Sara. As she glanced at the picture, tears welled up in her eyes.
The image displayed a battered and bloodied Yohan Dixon, bound to a wooden chair.
Sara's hands trembled as she picked up the photo, clutching it tightly to her chest while sobbing.
"I got this photo from their phones," Kevin said softly, giving Sara a comforting pat on the shoulder.
Tears streaming down her face, Sara asked, "Is Yohan alive?"
"I don't have that info yet," Kevin responded with a heavy sigh.
Sara looked at him expectantly.
He continued, "These two guys don't know anything about the kidnapping, but we did find this same photo on the phones. Maybe…it has in the mobiles of the people involved in this operation. I need Ricky's investigating team to help me hack into their mobile data."
"I'll do whatever it takes to help.”
Kevin gently grasped her shaking shoulders and gazed deeply into her eyes. "If these phones were hacked, then we have a chance of finding him soon," he said.
Sara, still in a state of shock, nodded and whispered, "Thank you." She then struggled to get up from her seat.
“I'll call Nolan and get the team ready to help you. I gotta go now. It's Saturday night, I have to go to Dixon Villa.”“Is the driver with you?”
“No. But I'll go.”
“Can I drop you?”
“No, thanks. I gotta go.”
“Sara...hold on a sec,” Kevin interrupted as she tried to step forward.
“I can't risk your safety. You've already been attacked several times,” he said, pulling out a locket from his pants pocket.
He handed it to her and said, “Wear this locket. It has a transmitter that will send me your location.”
“Are you going to keep tabs on me now?” Sara asked with a hint of playfulness, trying to lighten up the mood with informal dialogue.
"This little thing will keep you safe. Just press the button and I'll come running."
Sara looked closely at the locket, unsure of its intended function.
Kevin noticed her uncertainty and showed her how to use it by pressing the button. This action activated an emergency alarm on his phone, revealing the hotel's precise location. Once the alarm was deactivated, he waited anxiously for Sara's reaction. Taking a deep breath, Sara reluctantly agreed to wear the locket.
“I’ll help you.”
He fastened the locket around her neck and flashed a smile at her.
“Thank you.”
Sara Owen departed the room at a slow pace, leaving Kevin Johnson behind to grapple with his own feelings of helplessness.
The sun started to go down, painting the landscape with warm colors. The road was lined with trees, their leaves glowing in shades of orange and pink. It created a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The gentle breeze carried the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, while birds chirped, adding to the tranquility. However, Sara couldn't escape the sadness weighing on her heart as she drove.She tried to find solace in the serene surroundings, but thoughts of her husband's condition kept resurfacing. The image of him injured and helpless made her feel deeply sad. She let out a deep sigh and shook her head, determined to stay focused on the present moment.During her drive, Sara noticed another car following closely behind her, and it only added to her frustration. Fear crept into her heart as the car continued tailing her. The intensity of her anxiety grew as the pursuing vehicle got closer. Her hands became sweaty as she tightly gripped the steering wheel. Despite feeling trapped, Sara summo
Sara was devastated when she saw Yohan Dixon hanging from the ceiling, his wrists tied with a hook.She tried to shout but could only whisper his name.The man's blood-soaked shirt terrified her. She couldn't help gasping seeing the bruises on his face and the wounds on his arms, realizing he had endured months of brutal torture.The sight made her feel nauseous. Her hands trembled as she gripped the ventilation window's rods, trying to calm her breathing. Tears clouded her vision, but she mustered the courage to look down at Yohan, desperately hoping to see any sign of life.Just as she was about to call out his name, the sound of the door opening grabbed her attention. Her heart pounded as two men entered the room, their laughter reverberating off the walls. Sara's anger and fear surged as she watched them approach Yohan, who hung lifelessly from the ceiling."Wow, look at this guy. He's in such bad shape!""He's barely hanging on. I mean, with all the blood he's lost, there can't b
Sara's heart raced as they ran, gasping for breath. Yohan held her wrist tightly. The sounds of their pursuers grew closer, but Yohan didn't slow down. They maneuvered through corridors and staircases. Finally, they arrived at a small window. Yohan helped boost Sara up, and she scrambled out. They had finally achieved freedom.In the forest, Sara's heart pounded as gunfire and shouting echoed behind them. She fixated on Yohan's back as he led the way. Heavily pregnant, she struggled to keep up with Yohan's pace.“Yohan,” she gasped heavily.Seeing her weakness, Yohan Dixon swiftly scooped Sara Owen into his strong arms. Sara felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, causing her to gasp.Sara held onto him tightly, taking in his bruised and bloodied face that marred his usual handsomeness. Resting her head against his chest, she listened to his heartbeat, a moment of solace she had longed for throughout her pregnancy.It felt like a answered prayer.Deep in the forest, Yohan spotted a sm
They found a hiding spot beneath a large rock near a small stream, far away from any medical help. Yohan searched frantically for a solution and noticed the nearby flowing water. He gathered wood sticks and used two stones to create a fire, hoping to keep Sara warm in the chilly jungle night. Carefully, he carried her and settled her into the water, supporting her in a seated position.The water provided some relief from the pain and discomfort, while the fire offered warmth.Sara's pain became unbearable, causing her to scream loudly. Yohan was concerned about the noise attracting unwanted attention, which could be dangerous for both of them. So, he gently covered her mouth, allowing her to bite him if needed. He endured the pain, focusing on ensuring a safe delivery. Placing his other hand on her stomach, he tried to feel the baby's movements, sensing that the baby was nearly ready to be born.In a hushed tone, he whispered to Sara, "Just a little longer, Sara. You're doing great. J
That night… Their first encounter…Sara recalled how Yohan had been sitting in his car, smoking and seemingly lost in his thoughts when the goons had approached her. Despite his intoxicated state, he had chased them away and rescued her. She was touched by his kindness and generosity when he offered her to stay in his private villa, which he kept off-limits even to his own family members.Without a home to live in, Sara Owen felt blessed to have found a place where she could take shelter. She had offered to serve Yohan in any way she could, in return for his kindness.Despite his gruff exterior, he had a soft spot for her, which became evident when he asked her out on a date and proposed to her. However, before Sara Owen could respond to his proposal, Yohan was kidnapped, leaving her in a state of shock and confusion. She was left wondering who had taken him and what their motives were.He was widely known as the most formidable, authoritative, and resilient figure in the world, yet i
"No! I can't leave without him!" Sara cried out.Kevin Johnson put a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Sara, we have to leave. It's not safe here. We'll come back for him, I promise," he said firmly.But Sara was inconsolable. She struggled to free herself from Kevin Johnson 's grip, wanting desperately to go back for her husband."No, I can't leave him there!" she cried out."Sara, please, we have to go.""We'll come back for him, I swear."She struggled to be free from Kevin Johnson's grip and Ryan Jenkins took off the helicopter speedily.After completing a round of Iceland, the helicopter returned half an hour later.Kevin, who had been on the lookout for any remaining goons, promptly shot any he found.Sara Owen, who had just given birth, fainted upon witnessing the violence.Ryan, the pilot, landed the helicopter upon seeing Yohan's bloodied and lifeless body on the ground.Kevin rushed to Yohan's side and checked his pulse. Breathing was weak but presen
Natalie and Bruno exited Sara's room after she fell asleep, and they stood outside the room, observing her through the large glass window. "It's a miracle that she made it out alive," Natalie said softly to Bruno.Bruno nodded in agreement. "Yes, she's a fighter. But we still have to find out who did this to her and why."Natalie sighed, "I don't know if we'll ever find out. It all seems so unreal."Bruno put his arm around her shoulder. "We'll figure it out. For now, let's just be grateful that Sara and Ricky are alive."They stood there in silence, watching Sara's chest rise and fall with each breath.As they turned to leave, Bruno's phone rang. He quickly answered it, his expression turning serious as he listened to the person on the other end."What is it?" Natalie asked, concern etched on her face."Baby..." Bruno replied, his voice urgent.Without hesitation, Natalie and Bruno rushed the hallway towards the operating room.Upon arriving at the operation theatre, they witnessed
As Rosy removed the needle from Sara's palm, she posed a question, "Shouldn't you ask about your own well-being?"Sara responded, "Their lives hold greater importance to me, Rosy.""Well, your life is equally valuable to them. The doctor mentioned that you need to undergo another test today, and if the infection is under control, you may be discharged soon."Sara remained unresponsive, her primary concern focused solely on her family. Rosy cleansed the wound with antiseptic and offered a reassuring smile, saying, "You may freshen up now, Mrs. Dixon. I will bring you breakfast.""Thank you," Sara said and as soon as Rosy departed, she wiped away her tears and anxiously bit her lip.Having been discharged from the hospital, Sara was still prohibited from visiting Yohan Dixon. Natalie and Bruno suggested her to stay at the Dixon villa until Yohan recovered. With Neel Dixon away on a business trip, Sara had no choice but to accept their proposal.It was late evening.Sara found herself si
