“Woah! The energy here is off the roof!!!” the compere said with a smile, trying to calm everyone and make it look like it was part of an act.“Hand over what is mine, you cheating slut!” Melissa screamed, as she rushed towards Sarah but was stopped by the compere.Sarah held onto Ethan's arm tightly like a little child who had just seen a ghost.“This year's reunion sure is creative! I like this. Having a paid actress to fight for the crown, showing the importance of the crown in one's life. Please let's give it up for the organizers of this year's reunion.” the compere said, while signaling the security nervously.The crowd laughed so hard at what the compere just said and Melissa kept on hearing murmurs from the crowd,“She's so miserable”“She’s like an 80 year old lady seeking validation from a children's pageantry. It's so sad”“What a sore loser”“I wouldn't want to be her”Melissa pulled on her hair as she knelt on stage in frustration and screamed out,“You all are nothing in

“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i

“Good day sir, please help me” Kehlani said, as she dropped slowly to the floor with her injured forehead bouncing off the hospital tiles.“Somebody help her! Nurses! Doctors! Help!” Ethan cried out as he saw the young lady look up to him helplessly before she passed out.A team of doctors and nurses ran out and lifted the patient onto a stretcher and admitted her to be treated, while Ethan waited to make sure she was okay.Ethan paced back and forth the waiting room as his thoughts raged free enough to make him scared for the lady.“Who could she be?“She fell so abruptly, will she need surgery?”“I hope she gets better,” Ethan whispered under his breath.“Mr. Ethan?” A nurse called out.“Yes? That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious. Do you know her name and other details we could write down in her file?” The nurse asked with a smile.Ethan heaved a si

“Please help me get up” Kehlani asked Ethan, as she winced in pain.“Slowly. Take it easy” Ethan guided, as she sat upright and he helped her on to the wheelchair by the bedside.“How do you feel? Comfortable?” Ethan questioned, as he checked the wheelchair to see if there was any issue before moving.“It's okay. I'm okay, let's go see my mom” Kehlani said with a smile, before Ethan wheeled her round the hospital and into the recovery room where her mom was kept.“Please we can't let strangers see patients” a male nurse that has just resumed duty for his afternoon shift said to Ethan.“I agree I'm a stranger but she's not. She's the daughter of the patient” Ethan said, pointing to Kehlani in the wheelchair.“Please what is the name of the patient you wish to see?” the nurse asked.“Mrs. Michael. Daniella Michael is her name” Kehlani responded with a nonchalant look.“And what is your name ma? Please may I have your file to confirm that too?” “I'm Kehlani Michael and here's my file to

“Yes, I am at the hospital,” Kehlani answered.“What the fuck does that have to do with you not being home? Get your ass over here now!” Henry yelled from the other end of the phone.“Won't you want to know what I'm doing in the hospital? Aren't you worried at all?” Surprise was stamped on Kehlani's face as she questioned Henry.There was a certain silence as she questioned Henry, but it was short lived as he picked up yelling, “Why would I care? Do you think I go around my day wondering what you're doing and probably not doing? I couldn't give two fucks about that and quite frankly, you still haven't answered the original question; why are you not at home?”.“My mom…” Kehlani was interrupted by Henry's sudden question, “Right! Your mom, is she dead?”“No! Why would you say such a thing?” Kehlani retorted.“You know what? I'm tired and this conversation is draining my good energy, get home now” Henry ordered.Khelani almost immediately rushed to tell Henry, "I'm currently in…”, but
