“We are not doing anything of the sort! That's nonsense, and you know it,” Joshua said harshly for the first time since he was informed about the plan.They had disagreed before, but it had never reached the point where he spoke to his father like that.“Can you please give us a better idea? If Adrian is wrong, then you must have something better,” Ryan insisted, his anger rising at the way his brother was speaking.Yes, putting out a reward might not be the best idea, but at least it was better than doing nothing. They couldn't find her, nor could they reach her, yet all Joshua could think about was how Adrian's strategy wouldn't work.“Enough!” Natasha bellowed, her sudden outburst taking everyone by surprise, including her husband.So many thoughts were racing through her mind. This wasn't what she wanted to hear when her daughter was missing.“If you disrespect your father one more time, you'll have me to deal with. I promise you that.”“Mother!” Ethan called out. “As much as I do

They called her phone repeatedly.They returned to the office and searched everywhere they could think of, but there was still no sign of Layla.Earlier that day, they had received good news from the hospital. The chauffeur, who had been receiving treatment since the accident, had finally regained consciousness. Although his recovery was still slow, the doctors were optimistic.They had planned to share the news with Layla that evening.So they waited.And waited.But she never showed up.Growing anxious, Ethan drove back to the gallery and questioned the security guards. None of them could confirm that Layla had left for home.Questioning her driver wasn't an option either.He had been at home the entire day.Layla had driven herself to the gallery that morning and had insisted on driving herself back.Something wasn't right.Realizing the situation had gone too far, Ethan called Adrian to ask whether Layla had stopped by his office or was with him.“No,” Adrian answered. “She never

She ran as fast as she could, her heart pounding hard in her chest. The bushes scratched her arms and face, while tree branches blocked her way. She didn't know where she was going. All she knew was that someone was chasing her. She could hear footsteps behind her. “Help!” she cried, tears filling her eyes. “Please, somebody help me!” No one answered. She kept running until her foot caught on a root. She fell to the ground with a painful cry. Before she could get back up, someone grabbed her ankle. “No!” she screamed, trying to pull away. The person dragged her across the ground as she struggled with all her strength. “No! Let me go!” She suddenly gasped and sat upright. Her breathing was uneven, and sweat covered her forehead. She looked around in panic before realizing she was sitting in her office. The sound of the air conditioner and the bright afternoon sunlight pouring through the windows slowly calmed her down. “It was just a dream,” she whispered, placing a hand on

The morning headlines continued to dominate every news channel and social media platform. Across television screens, newspapers, and online articles, one name kept resurfacing—the Harthwore family.More specifically, Layla.Footage of the orphanage she had begun renovating played repeatedly on the television mounted on Adrian's office wall. Reporters praised her generosity, speaking about how she had once grown up there before leaving to build a new life. The once-forgotten orphanage had suddenly become the center of public attention, with many applauding her decision to give back to the place that had raised her.Adrian sat comfortably behind his desk, one hand resting against his cheek as he watched the broadcast in silence.For nearly thirty minutes, he hadn't moved.He wasn't particularly interested in the news itself. He was simply passing the time while waiting for Jade, who had insisted on taking him out to lunch as a way of thanking him for everything he had done for her the p

The following morning, Ruth quietly met with her accomplice to finalize the next phase of their plan. The abandoned warehouse they had chosen as their meeting point sat hidden behind a row of neglected buildings, far from curious eyes. Dust floated through the narrow beams of sunlight that filtered in through broken windows, while the heavy silence inside made every footstep echo against the concrete walls.Ever since the incident at the hospital where he had nearly been caught, the man had gone completely underground. Ruth had arranged for him to relocate to a different house, ensuring no one could trace his whereabouts.She folded her arms and fixed him with a serious look.“I'm trusting you this time. My daughter is no longer in the hospital, and neither is my son-in-law.”The man met her gaze confidently.He had never failed her before, and Ruth wanted to believe this assignment wouldn't become another unfinished job.“I'll get going,” he replied. “But what about the men I mention

The grand Harthwore mansion stood in its usual quiet elegance, bathed in the warm glow of the evening sun. The marble floors reflected the soft light pouring in through the towering glass windows, while the neatly trimmed gardens outside swayed gently beneath the cool breeze. Inside, the silence carried a comforting warmth, broken only by the faint ticking of the antique grandfather clock and the occasional clink of china from the kitchen.“How did your day go, sweetie?” Natasha asked warmly as Layla walked into the living room.Exhausted yet satisfied, Layla slipped off her heels before dropping onto the plush couch beside her father, resting her head on his chest.“It was fine, Mother. I had a great day with the staff. I got to pick out the winners, and honestly, they all put in so much effort.”A proud smile spread across Natasha's face.“I'm glad to hear that. Let me get you a glass of juice.”She rose gracefully and disappeared toward the kitchen, leaving Layla alone with her fat

The car tires screeched to a halt. Before the engine fully died, a figure rushed forward, pulling the door open for Joshua to step out. The moment his feet touched the ground, he stretched out his left hand, and a document was placed into it.He flipped through the pages, scanning the pictures and

After the struggle and cries, the boy was finally put to sleep, his injury properly treated.Adrian’s heart felt heavy.He didn’t know how to confront her without it turning into a full-blown argument. If she had truly been there with him, then what went wrong? Why didn’t she step in the moment the
