The moment Clarine got home, an anonymous number messaged her.She got confused on the spot after reading the few initial lines of the message which spoke. "If you love your friend, then save her from a toxic husband."Clarine didn't understand what it meant, until another message did come in as a whole file.Inquisitively, Clarine had opened it only to discover the shock of her life.She was too fragile to hold the news back to herself either. However immediately, she had called Derek's line hoping that whatever she saw was actually an error.Unfortunately, the lines weren't going through as Brenda had complained earlier too.When she linked all together, it was too difficult to doubt that Derek really was innocent. Clarine couldn't hold it back to herself. She felt it would be bad and she would be a betrayal if later Brenda got to discover the information from another source. Yet she was skeptical about telling her friend. She paused, paced her room severely with tension visibly wr

Brenda was lying in the hospital bed, unconscious and unresponsive since the day before. The room was quiet except for the beeping of the machines monitoring her vital signs. Derek had finally left the door and was sitting by her bedside, praying for her to wake up.He clasped her hand into his, speaking of those times they've spent together, he believed a miracle would happen if he did that.In a few hours, after the blood transfusion, she slowly started to stir. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around, disoriented and confused. Derek rushed to her side, tears streaming down his face. He held her hand and spoke to her softly, trying to comfort her."Welcome back to life dear. Thank goodness you are alive."As Brenda's consciousness slowly returned, she struggled to remember what had happened to her. She felt weak, drained and her head was pounding hard, but she was determined to get better. However, just then, she remembered the devastating scenario that made her get into suc

Brenda was in no way surprised by what she was hearing. Other than the fact that she felt Mrs Reid should have changed over the years.Who in the world still chooses a spouse for their kids in the 21st century. She mumbled to herself with a deep frown.It pained her to realize that her father was also no more, at least he could have continued with Mrs. Reid's crazy idea.Deep down, Brenda guessed that there was more to the marriage other than she was hearing. Mrs Reid never does anything just for the sake of doing it, she does everything for a reason.Brenda therefore stared regretful at Mrs Reid, at the same time at Duncan who spoke without thinking twice."Mrs Reid, I can't marry him. If this is why you called for me. I'll have to take my leave right now." she said with assertion."Forget the fact that you gave birth to me, you definitely cannot decide for me." she added about taking a rise."You need to move on dear. Stop drooling over the past. Derek is gone, and even if he is no

Derek alighted from his vehicle, the sleek black car came to a stop outside the imposing Emerald Group building. He stood there for a moment, taking in the sight of the towering skyscraper before him. The building was a symbol of success and power, and Derek couldn't help but feel a sense of awe with a mixture of pain The building suddenly brought to remembrance the death of his parents. For some unknown reason, he wished he knew them before they were taken away by death.With a sigh, Derek turned his attention to his task at hand. He knew that this was his moment, his chance to take over the company and make his mark in the business world. But as he looked up at the building once more, he couldn't shake the feeling of nervousness that was creeping into his mind.This was his first time attending business meetings with certainly international investors, but Gage had tried his best to at least take him through all he needed to know before he at least commenced the meeting.Derek took

Brenda was devastated by the fact that Matilda, the daughter of the Millers, had to reveal her identity in such an unspeakable way, not just that alone, but right in the presence of more than fifty people in the restaurant.Some people who never knew her before had begun to murmur after Matilda mentioned the fact that she left her parents just to abscond with a guy in the name of love.Murmurs went around so fast. "Wow, she doesn't look like she is being called. Who on earth would pray to birth such a child who would abscond with another In the name of love.""I guess she is just so gullible and right! She's being ungrateful. If I were her parents, I would end up throwing her into the lagoon, forgetting that I had a child forever." Brenda clocked her head sideways, she caught the exact table where those words had come from.Anger boiled through her veins, right at that moment, she felt like walking up to that table and offering a round of deafening slaps to all those who were around t
