Paula was now working in Jamal's house. Jamal was against it because of the way she threw passes at him. He did not want what happened between him and Alex to occur again, he could not tell Melanie the reason for his dislike for Paula. " You do not have to like her, she is here to work, and that is it" Melanie had told him. Paula made sure that everything that happened in the house was reported to Dave. She would sneak into Rose's room just to play with her, the first time she saw Rose, she went to the bathroom and cried. She was sad and angry with herself for letting go of such a child but then again, she somehow felt happy that she was doing well and not in the hell of a house with her ex-boyfriend. She did everything that Dave asked her to do. She went to her room to call Dave as usual. She took her phone and called him. He picked up the first ring. " Ryan got into another school, he is now in high school," she told him. " Great, he is growing up so fast, high school right?

"We are in for it, something tragic is before us, how can you be this calm?" Melanie asked Jamal. She was about to cry. " I will handle her," he promised. Paula stayed two days and Jamal had not returned to the house. She picked up her phone and called him. " Where are you? Why are you not back to the house" " To hell with you, I am done with anything that has to do with you, get someone else to obey your silly instructions, I am not your toy" he hung up. Paula could not believe that Dave would do that to her. She was almost taken full control of him and now, he has left her. " I will have to do this alone then," she said to herself. Jamal went to visit Madam Theresa, he told her everything that had happened. She was expecting it as she did not look surprised. She only smiled. " What is it?" He asked her" You did not ask for my opinion in all of these, now look at you, running away from your own house because of that hawk who you thought was a dove" " I feel so bad, what do

Dave was happy that Paula could change plans and get him the keys to the bags as it was locked. They were not sure that they were the keys to the bag but they had to try the key and it opened the bag. " Look what we got," she said as she poured out the money in it. " I am not sure they would feel anything has left their room," Dave said, other bags of money were there as well, they only managed to take three bags. " I am ready for my vacation outside this City" she jumped up. " We should start planning," she added. Dave had to carefully pack the money and hide it. He had to share the money equally as he wanted Paula to be accounted for whatever amount she spent. He began to look out for Nice places where they could go and stay for some time before coming back to face Jamal's family. Melanie was in her room, she had this calmness as no one was worrying them about Rose anymore about Ryan, or even about anyone else. She had a very peaceful sleep in such a long time. Clara's wedding

He had blood all over him, his eyes were covered with the splash of his blood. " Are you talking or not?" " We went for vacation only, I think the rest of the money is still at home," he said to him. " Reuben, is that true?" Sam asked." Yes, sir, taken it already." " For the one you can not provide, you would have to work for it, if you steal from me while working for this current money, you continue to work till everything you have stolen and the one you would steal is paid for." Paula was angry. " If only you had not brought that letter home" she cursed. She spat out the blood that had flown to her mouth. " Are you being serious right now? Blaming me, you are lucky we took a little and we did not waste it all" " You resume work tomorrow, the both of you" Sam announced. They were untied. They brought water for them to wash themselves. After they were done, they had to go find a cab to return home. Jamal had a meeting he was going for. He got to the venue and met no one, he

Jamal was in his office when Paula came into his office. Her face held no smiles. He was loving how everything was pissing her off. “ I am going to the press, you want to pay me for just a year?” Jamal did not say a word to her, his attention was on his laptop. She kept on talking about how the pay was little and the time duration as well. “ Do you realize you carried that pregnancy for nine months? I am being generous to you if you are not aware of that fact, if you wish to go to the press, do whatever you want and face whatever you bring on yourself” he was upset at this point. He picked up the telephone and called the security. “ Can you two come to my office right now, there is someone here troubling me” he said and dropped the telephone. “ I am troubling you? If that is the case, meet your downfall soon, Mr. Jamal” She left the office before the security men got in. Jamal called his lawyer and explained things to him. He told his lawyer about Paula's threat. His lawyer told
