Richard understood what she was subtly saying with her eyes. She would look at him, bring her eyes down, and then look back again.Richard nodded his head in reply to her message. Evan was busy talking and didn't notice what was happening."Evan, please come and sit beside me. Leave my new girl alone.""New girl?"Evan felt like he heard the sound of a bomb. He wondered what was going on between the two. When Richard told him to leave her, he quickly removed his hand from her leg."Richard, both of us know that you're not in any relationship and can't be with a woman.""So in essence, what point are you trying to make?""All I'm saying is that I like her and I knew her before you."Richard giggled, "Evan, when will you change? You have formed the habit of taking what doesn't belong to you. You have a pregnant wife at home, why not focus on her?"Chelsea was taken aback. Evan felt his plans shatter into pieces. He never expected that Richard would throw such a ball at him.He remained

"But why? I thought we were friends, and you could help me when I am in need of it," Evan said."Evan, not in this case. Both of us know that Chelsea won't do that job. You can't force a young lady to do such a job," replied the other person."But I will be paying her double what I would have paid her," Evan argued."Evan, I know you still have dangerous plans for her, and that is why I will never allow you to do that. Find another alternative," the person insisted."But I don't have another," Evan said with concern."You are Evan, and we all know you can reach anybody you want. Don't give me that excuse because of Chelsea," the person replied firmly.The doctor came out and met them. "Doctor, any options on who will take care of the children?""Well, they will have to be kept in the incubating room with others. The nurses are there to take care of them. You can come anytime to see them," the doctor explained.Evan felt relieved by what the doctor said."Then what about his wife?" Ric

Evan called his boys and asked them to visit him at his house immediately.When they arrived, he took them to the side of the house made of bamboo grass, and they sat down to discuss."What happened? You didn't get him?""We tried, but the bullet hit a lady who was standing beside him.""A lady? Where did you see them?""They came out of the mall, and we followed them until we had the chance to shoot.""And you shot the wrong person!" He hit his fist against his other hand. "That lady there is Chelsea. Why did you kill her? She is soon to be my woman."The boys gnashed their teeth in frustration."How did he know that I sent you?"They were confused. "How? We never spoke with him.""He called me and told me that he is aware that I sent you to kill him. That's why I emphasized on being careful and making sure that you got him. Now that the opposite has happened, what do we do?""Is he going to come after us?""Of course, yes. Richard is a die-hard. I know him better than you do."There

Elijah and Rachel were on their way home, but Elijah remained silent, focusing on driving as it was late. He wasn't happy with how his wife had reacted.Rachel wondered why he was being silent. She stayed quiet and waited until they arrived home."Why aren't you saying anything, Elijah?" Rachel asked.Elijah placed the car key on the table and turned to face his wife, unbuttoning his shirt."What was the meaning of that attitude you displayed back there? Is that why we went to see them?" Elijah questioned."What attitude are you talking about?" Rachel replied."Oh! Please, don't pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about. You embarrassed me. How could you start talking about who cooked the food and belittle the lady who was clearly trying to recover?" Elijah expressed his disappointment.Rachel was startled. "Oh! So now you're taking her side?""I'm not taking sides with anyone. You could have simply complimented the food and kept your mouth shut, regardless of who cooked it,"

"Look, you have to tell me where we are going for this dinner, or else I won't go with you," Chelsea insisted."Why are you being unnecessarily stubborn? Can't I tell you something and you do it? Why must we struggle with this?" Richard responded."Because I know you don't have friends except Evan and Elijah. So who exactly is the friend that invited us for dinner? Why is it hard for you to say?" Chelsea pressed.Richard was already stuck. He didn't know how to tell her that it was Rachel, but he had to find another excuse, or else they wouldn't be attending."Chelsea, you are not acting like you want to get married to me. Don't discourage me from going further in this relationship. If you are not comfortable with my friends, then I don't see any need to keep you," Richard said firmly and went into the room to get dressed. He made up his mind to attend alone. At least, instead of not going at all, one person must represent.Chelsea couldn't believe what she had heard him say to her. S
