Martins got home. The pains in his head were severe. Madam Felicia was trying to clean his wounds. The fight with Dennis was so serious that it gave him a cut in the head. He was not expecting it to be like that. He had wanted to confront Clara and ask her what she was doing with Dennis but it seems Dennis came prepared for him. He had his suspicion cleared. Clara was with Dennis. He wondered what she was with him for. He began to think of several reasons for her pretense but could not point it out. " Dennis and Clara are together. This is what I have been trying to tell you. I knew that something was going on but I was not sure but I am now sure" he said as his mother washed the cut. " What has that got to do with the fact that you could not get much from Clara?" Madam Felicia fired at him. She was angry that in all of these, he was unable to get all of her money. She helped him dress his wounds. He felt pain but pretended it was not that painful. His mother would look at him, sp

She rushed out of bed. She was grateful that nothing had happened to her. Alex began to prepare for work. She rushed out to work. When she got to work, she saw Clara and got a way of telling her that she failed. She stuck her tongue out at her quickly, no one saw her do that. She got closer to Clara and they both exchanged looks. She kept a normal expression. Alex was certain that no one knew who was behind the information leaking out to Jamal's stepfamily, they all thought that Clara was the one being playful and needed to tell the truth. She got inside her office and saw the door open. She stayed outside to peep inside. She found nothing. She got in anyway hoping nothing was amidst.While she settled down to work. She got a call. She picked it up. " Any information?" Madam Theresa asked." No, not yet" she answered." Keep me updated," Madam Theresa said." Always" she replied. She crossed her fingers to always give Madam Theresa any information she found useful. She was still

Madam Theresa sat in the sitting room with the rest. She had called Dave in. She wanted to keep Alex out of the eyes of Nathan, Martin, and Madam Felicia. They would only be seeing more of Dave. She wanted to protect her niece. They had kicked against the idea of bringing Dave for Melanie but they had to agree to let him do it. Dave had taken Melanie out for a stroll. He had a good time with her. However, she was uncomfortable and kept on mentioning that she wanted to go home. Dave told everyone everything that transpired between them. " She will not be an easy nut to crack," he said " Do what you have to" madam Felicia said. " And your niece should be smart and keep up. I do not want anyone ruining my plans" Dave said. He turned and looked at Madam Theresa. Madam Theresa nodded her head. She had to tell Alex not to mess up their plans. Whatever Melanie was carrying has to be removed and it has to be done fast. " I want us to go check our house. You know no matter how we run.

Melanie took a walk outside to cool her head. Jamal asked Dennis to make sure that she was not alone.She saw that she was being followed but she ignored them. She sat at a place and began to think of the possible things that could be wrong with Jamal. She could not come up with anything reasonable. She went back home. When she got home, She turned on the television to watch it but could not concentrate on it. She turned it off. She headed out again and this time, she went to her parents' house. She got there and fell into Mrs. Alcantara's arms. Mrs. Alcantara took her in. She could not tell what was wrong with Melanie but she knew that Melanie was not okay. "What is wrong?" Mrs. Alcantara asked her, sitting her down on a chair. " It is Jamal, he has been acting strange and I can not tell what is going on with him nor will he say anything," she said in a rush. Mrs. Alcantara asked her to calm down. She didn't offer much because she felt it was work stress that was getting a lar

The hall was big enough to accommodate so many people. It was spacious and well-decorated. The staff of Jamal's company began to turn up. Jamal was at home. He was still waiting for Melanie to finish up. He wanted the both of them to go together. He waited for her until she was done with her makeup. She checked herself and saw how beautiful she looked. She went to meet Jamal in the car and they both left the house for the event. They got there because it was just a company event. The faces there were all familiar. The hall was beautifully decorated, and the lighting too added color to the hall. They got inside. They were offered a special section of the hall to be in. Jamal shook hands with all of his team members who he had worked with and the ones he is still working with. He sat down with Melanie by his side. He felt happy that he had given in to the advice that he host an event in honor of himself and his staff. Madam Theresa is waiting for the rest in the sitting room. Mart
