(Luke’s residence)
“What?
Do you know who we are messing with?
I think we have a death wish”
Jack said in a tone and voice of fear.
“Relax, Jack…
Dad has a plan for everything”
Luke replied.
“Well, I trust Dad…
Lucy said.
“And if it’s to bring down this Marcel of a guy, then we are ready”
“Thanks sis…
Luke smile.
“Marcel Marcel Marcel…
Who is he?
Jack asked.
“We will find out soon enough…
I want to know who is behind the rage, the anger, the revenge feeling he displayed while rescuing Lauren’s child”
Lucy said.
“All I know is.. he is brutal
And he is going to be a tough one, but we are going to bring him down”
“Yes,… We are
And that time is now”
Mr George walked in.
“Now?
“Yeah, I found Marcel’s weakness…
Lauren Quinn”
Mr George replied.
“What?
Lauren Quinn? How is that possible?”
Lucy asked.
“We have to get Lauren…
She is the bait to draw Marcel out of his hiding”
“Yes, Father…
Luke smile.

(Lauren’s residence)
Lauren tucked Ethan into the bed. She kissed his forehead.
“Goodnight, Ethan…
Ethan smile. Marcel walked into the bedroom.
“Everyone has gone home”
Marcel said and walked to Lauren.
“So, are you leaving too?”
Lauren asked.
“Dad… Please stay
Ethan pleaded.
“Am staying for the night”
Marcel replied and smiled.
Ethan smiled also…
“Mom, Dad… Can you sing me a lullaby?
I can’t get sleep”
“Marcel, I think you are needed here…
You know am bad at this”
“Them, am going to teach you…
Marcel held her hands”.
*******
“Finally, he slept off
Marcel breathed out in relief after they sang the Twinkle Little Star poem for an hour.
“C’mon let’s get out of his room gently”
Lauren couldn’t keep her laughter.
“Ethan can be so much trouble sometimes”
“Yeah… He took that from you”
Marcel replied as they walked out of his bedroom.
“What? Me?
Am troublesome?
Lauren said.
“I said that?
Marcel pretended.
“Oh please…
You said it but not directly”
Marcel drew her closer to himself.
“Have missed you so much”
He said.
“Then, what are you waiting for?
Lauren winked. Marcel smiled and carried her in his arms.

~The Next morning ~
Lauren woke up and stretched out her arms.
“It’s going to be a long day”
Her smile brightened up and noticed Marcel wasn’t in bed.
She piled up her hair into ponytails and got down from the bed.
“Marcel?
She called.
“Marcel…
She called again and checked the bathroom. A note on the door caught her attention.
She walked to it and read its contents.
💌”I’m sorry I had to get off early.
Something came up urgently, I have to attend to…
I will explain everything later” 💌
Lauren sighed and decided to prepare for work.
🎲🎲🧩🎲
As soon as Lauren dropped off Ethan at West Sussegz, her phone rang.
It was Ellie.
📞”Ellie, is something wrong?
📞”Yes, you have to be here quickly… The investors are here already”
Ellie replied.
📞So early?
📞”Yeah…
You need to be here now”
📞 Alright, am on my way…
She ended the call and sighed. She watched Ethan walk into the school building before driving off.
Lauren drove with speed across the express road. A car came coming from both the front and behind, blocking each side of the road.
She hit the brake and stopped the car.
“What’s going on?
She thought and got out of her vehicle.
Some thugs came out of the vehicle holding some batons.
Jack came out of the other cars. Lauren saw they were here for her, trying to kidnap her.
She looked around in fear finding a way to escape but there was none.
“There is nowhere to run, Lauren…
Jack smiled and walked to her.
Lauren moved back slowly but was stopped by a thug behind her.
“Don’t you dare lay a hand on me”
Jack burst into laughter.
“Really?
What if I do? Will Ethan Baker come running?
He is dead… So no one can protect you now”
Jack replied and pulled her hair, looking straight into her face.
“No one is here to save you…
Just kept quiet and stepped into the car”
He added.
The thugs pushed her into the car and drove off immediately.

~(Linde Plc)~
Ellie paced around her office, expecting Lauren to pick up her phone.
“Gosh, c’mon… Pick up please”
Ellie said as she paced around.
Jessica and Stephan walked into her office.
“Miss Ellie, the investors are getting angry and uncomfortable…
They have been waiting for an hour now”
Stephan said.
“Am aware..
Am trying to call Lauren right now, she needs to be here”
Ellie replied.
“Gosh, this is bad…
What could make Miss Lauren late? She is always early to work”
Jessica added.
“Just try and make them stay till Lauren arrives…
I will keep trying her line”
Ellie said.
“Yes, boss.
Stephan and Jessica both walked out of her office.

~(Underground basement)~
Lauren who was still in a deep sleep felt water splashed into her face. She opened her eyes and noticed she was being tied to a chair in a dark basement.
She looked up to see Mr. George and Jack surrounded by his thugs and minions.
“Lauren Quinn…
We meet again”
Mr George said and walked to her.
“What do you want from me?”
She asked.
“It’s obvious.
I want to end up… Take everything you have, including anything that makes you happy”
Mr George said.
“I won’t make that possible… Am going to bring you down”
Lauren replied.
“Oh really?
How are you going to do that now that you are tied up to a chair?
Or when you are already dead?
“Untie me, I have a place to be right now.
” Linde Plc, I guess…
You must be so hardworking these days well that company is also part of what I wanted”
Mr George said.
“Who is Marcel?
Lauren smiled but didn’t show it.
“Marcel?
What Marcel are you talking about?
Lauren pretended not to know
“Stop the pretense, Lauren…
Who is Marcel? I won’t ask again”
Mr George asked.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.
She replied.
“This man came to save your kid, he puts his life on the line… And you don’t know who he is?”
Alright,… Let’s see if he is going to come running here or not”
If all he does is to have you protected”
Jack smiles and places a video call to Marcel.
“Hey.
Marcel… I guess it’s time you come out of your hiding place”
Jack said after Marcel picked up his call.
*Who is this?
Marcel asked.
“Oh, I remember you… One of Mr. George’s loyal dogs”
What do you want?
“Well, I guess have been generous enough
Jack said brought out his gun and shot at Lauren sitting on the chair intentionally missing the bullet.
Lauren screams.
“Do you hear that?
That’s Lauren Quinn’s scream
Jack replied and showed Lauren on the video call.
“Don’t you dare lay a finger on her”
Marcel said.
“Oh, too bad… I already did
And next time, I won’t miss this time around”
Jack replied and ended the call.
“Good job. Jack
Mr George commended him.
🧩🎲🧩🧩
Marcel drove and stopped in front of a building.
He stepped down from the vehicle.
“📞 Lauren has been kidnapped by Mr. George.
He texted the group chat.
📞Omg… When did that happen?
📞 Where is she now?
Harry asked.
📞You all should calm down… I will take care of it.
She is with Mr. George and he wants me.
I guess he doesn’t know who I am first.
Marcel replied.
He put off his phone and wanted to walk into the building to get Lauren when his phone beeped.
💌Don’t answer to Mr George’s call.
Your cover is going to be blown 💌
His dad texted.
“f-__-k…
He got angry and placed a call to his dad.
📞Dad, I need to save Lauren…
Mr George is going to have her ki||ed”
📞Do you want your cover to be blown out and every one of our plans is going to be in vain?
Go back now… Don’t enter that building”
His dad instructed. Marcel hung up.
“I must save my woman, no matter what”
He said and walked in with confidence.

~(Linde Plc)~
Ellie walked into the conference room.
“Am sorry everyone… I think this meeting has to be postponed”
Lauren Quinn is missing and we heard she has been kidnapped”
Ellie announced.
The investors sighed and stood up, walking out without saying a word.
Stephan and Jessica looked at Ellie.
“I guess that works”
Ellie shrugged.
“Take care of the administration department, I need to find Lauren Quinn”
She added before walking out.
Jessica sighs.
“Everything is happening again”
“I guess so…
I hope they are all safe”
Stephan replied.
