Charles's pov :
___ Darius smiled at their accomplishment. It is their first teamwork. " Hey if we keep this up , we are going to be the best partners ever" he said proudly. " Don't get too excited , l only helped because your blood is so tasty and l don't want to give it up so soon" the armour said while Darius just rolled his eyes. " Did you just rolled your eyes at me". The both of them bickered while journeying through the forest.____ I think that's enough for today. I updated the chapter and went to sleep. Tomorrow is another day.

Micheal's pov:
This is so frustrating , I don't want to kill an innocent man, but that bastard is using my daughter to threaten me. I found out yesterday that he was hospitalized and later discharged. He is the only the son of his mother, why can't Andrew Chen take pity on her. I know how it feels like to lose a child , l don't want to inflict that pain on anyone else. My phone buzzed pulling me back from my thoughts, Martha sent me a text : "my boss said , the five days count starts now. Don't worry , once DNA results are out , if one of girls happens to be your daughter, l will protect her. I won't let my boss harm her, you can be rest assured". I don't know why but l have the feeling that l can trust her words. I still don't understand why Chen insisted that it is me who should carry out the assassination. I think l should try to observe things for first four days. I did my daily routine and headed to Charles's home.

Charles's best friend , Jack , came to check on Charles as promised. He hugged Charles like he was going to lose him anytime soon. " Are you alright?" He asked worryly. "I am fine, see" said Charles as he hopped and turned around. Jack sighed of relief. "Hey, come on lets go inside" he dragged Jack inside. Charles's mom was at work, so they had the house to themselves. They cooked together, played video games, talked and chatted like there is no tomorrow. It was getting dark when Charles's mom came back from work. " Mom, how are you" Charles welcomed her with a kiss on her cheeks. " I am doing great son, we made alot of sales today " she kissed him back. "That's good to hear". " Oh Jack , you are still here" she said when she spotted him. " Yeah, l forgot to mention that l am planning on spending the night here" said Jack. 'oh no,' was Charles first thought, ' this isn't good he is planning on watching me the whole night , so that l won't write. What should l do' . "Of course , Jack you can stay here whenever you want" said his mom warmly. "Or do you have a problem with it, Charles" said Jack with a smirk. Charles gritted his teeth, "yes of course there is no problem with it , just like mom said , you can stay here anytime you want". Jack smirked wider. 'This devil', Charles thought.

Micheal's pov:
Could today be more frustrating , l've been out here for the whole day but Charles just stayed inside the whole day. Who l'm l kidding , if l was in his l would do the same. I guess today isn't my lucky day, l just hope he comes out tomorrow. He can't stay indoors forever. I called Martha to inform her about what happened. She had already picked the call, when l changed my mind. It wasn't necessary , they know everything without me telling them.* Martha: hey , what's up. Did you kill him already?. Micheal: no, he stayed indoor through out the day. Martha: well , that's not surprising , if l were in his shoes l would have done the same thing. Micheal: uh huh. Martha: don't worry he can't stay inside forever. I would inform my boss about this. Micheal nodded even though she wasn't in front of him. Martha: and Micheal, l meant what l said, if we find your daughter , l won't let anyone harm her until you come for her. Micheal: why would you do that?. Martha: because, l saw how much you love her, and how much you sacrificed just to find her. I was moved, and l think you deserve a second chance to care and cater for her again. Micheal:, thank you Martha. Martha : you are welcome. Micheal: goodbye ,l will see you another time. Martha: yeah goodbye. * And with that we ended the call. I sighed and headed towards my home , no my house
