The next couple of days were tough on Zade. At the hospital, he thought everything would be fine since she was responding so well to him and even smiling. He thought that was it and everything would be normal, but as soon as she got discharged, it all changed.Nightmares plagued her dreams, which ended with her thrashing and hurting herself. It didn't end there. She stopped communicating altogether and flinched at the slightest touch. The action hurt him many times, but he had to force himself to understand that she had just been through something traumatizing and the effects were just kicking in. He really began to worry when she stopped speaking altogether. He tried everything possible but she wouldn't speak to him or anyone. All events and major meetings were canceled because she couldn't stand people at the moment, especially men. Zade was the only man she could tolerate.It unsettled him that he had to leave her, but he had to find witnesses to testify against Blake Anderson.

Zade arrived at the station in less than thirty minutes. He met the ambulance taking Blake's body away. Adera clung tightly to his arms as they approached the corpse. They took off the sheet and Adera let out a loud gasp. She cupped her mouth quickly, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. "What happened to him?" Zade asked when the chief officer approached them. "I really don't know. He was fine this morning, bragging about how he was going to get out of here soon, how the judges couldn't lock him up even if they wanted to and the next minute, he went cold. At first, we assumed he fainted out of fatigue, but then his heart wasn't beating. We tried everything but there was no way to save him. We have already ordered that an autopsy be carried out on the corpse to determine the cause of his death…". Adera slowly let go of Zade's hand and approached the body carefully. She poked his arm and when he didn't move, she glanced at Zade fearfully. "Is he… Is he gone?" Zade

Surprisingly, Tyrone didn't pull any stunts until it was time for the meeting. Zade arrived a few minutes before ten and was greeted by his cousin's charming girlfriend, Helen.Zade expected that in the last three years, he could have at least done something to secure the woman by his side, but Tyrone was just the asshole everyone thought he was.He had been seeing Helen for almost five years and not once did he fail to make her feel like trash. He disrespected her before his friends, slept with anything with a skirt, and threatened to make her life miserable if she ever thought of leaving him.Zade knew Helen wasn't afraid of his threats. Beneath all that gentleness, there was a fierceness that was waiting to be unleashed.Why she put up with Tyrone, Zade had no idea, but he knew she'd never looked at another man with the same adoration in her eyes. No matter how badly he treated her, she didn't once complain or fight back. She had this angelic gaze that could melt anyone's heart, e

Adera had to go to the doctor's appointment alone. Zade was still recovering and the last thing she wanted to do was disturb him. He needed to heal as fast as he could in other to guide his inheritance. "Miss Adera, I'm going to ask one last time. Are you sure you want to proceed with this abortion? Last time, I asked you to give it a thought. What is your decision?" The doctor asked."I already made it clear that I wouldn't be changing my mind even if you have me wait the whole month. Can we just get this over with doc?" Adera asked. "Alright then. As you wish."As they approached the ward, Adera became nervous about the whole process. Several negative thoughts flew through her mind. The possibility of losing her womb and even dying made her pause occasionally for deep breaths. "Everything okay, Miss Anderson? Are you getting cold feet?" The doctor asked and she nodded."Don't worry, it won't take much of your time. We'll be done before you know it. So the pregnancy is only a week

"Are you going to do as he said?" Adera asked after listening to his detailed narration of his meeting with his grandfather. Zade was happy ate was a lot calmer now. He didn't admit it, but sometimes her aggressive reaction to things scared him. She had crazy anger issues and he didn't know the length it could push her to.All she did in the last few displays were just mere yellings."I will. I already gave him my word that I wouldn't attack until he launched a second attack. Is that okay by you?" He asked her. She smiled at him which was a little surprising because she had alarming mood swings. One minute, she was chill and all, the next minute, she was pissed at everyone and everything. He often wondered if it was just the pregnancy hormones kicking in. "That's okay. As long as he doesn't try to hurt you anymore, we can let it slide. Do you think your grandfather will give him a warning?""Most likely. He arranged a meeting with both of us although separately. My grandfather see
