“I have bad news Boss.  Your wife was kidnapped from the cruise ship.  Her bodyguards colluded with the kidnappers.”

“What? “ The pen he was holding snapped into two.  His face contorted in fury. 

“Find out who the kidnappers are right now!  Exhaust all resources to bring her back!”  He commanded urgently, his voice filled with both anger and anguish.

“Bo… Boss.   Their get away boat was caught in a tornado and has capsized.  The kidnappers’ bloated bodies were recovered.  Your wife is missing.”  The assistant was scared to say that probably his wife is also dead.

Time stood still.

Erik felt as if an iron fist squeezed his heart.  It stopped beating for a few seconds and he cannot breathe.  Clutching his chest, He staggered backwards and fell down as he lost consciousness.

The Billionaire’s Promise

"Jax, isn't your mother's last name,  Cobrera?  Do you know the Cobreras from the South?"  Erik's eyes were dark but his voice was neutral.

A glint flashed across Jax's dark orbs.  He stiffened for a second but he relaxed as he lifted the wine glass to his mouth.  He gave an innocent smile.

"My mother was born and raised here in Central District.  But her roots were from the east.  Cobrera is a pretty common last name.  Why did you ask cousin?"

"Nothing.  I just heard that the Cobreras are the ones controlling a syndicate in the South and has started operating here in Central District."  Erik glanced briefly at Aryana.  "I had a recent encounter with them."  Erik intentionally lowered his voice so only Jax heard him.

Erik turned and followed Cassie to where her grandfather was.

A cheerful young lady who was standing on a makeshift platform called everyone's attention.
