“Ma’am, I'm going to need you to calm down,” the chief of police said, his hands stuck into his pocket. Amelia sharply raised her head, her eyes locking with his. “You can't expect me to come down when I don't know where my grandson is, it's been more than 24 hours. Can you send a search party already?”“Yes Mrs Houston my team is currently on it. In the meantime do you have any idea what could have possibly been wrong, any leads might help us to find him faster.”She stopped pacing around for a moment. “The only person I can think of is that witch Vanessa, she probably had something to do with the abduction of my son.”He raised an eyebrow, “why would this person want your son gone or kidnapped?”She resumed her frantic pacing. “The very day that they came back to the city, my son was attacked and almost abducted, and yesterday she came over here blaming me for some loss she made in her business or whatever, what if she attempted to kidnap my son again and was successful this time?”

The room went dead silent after he spoke and he was oblivious to the fact that he had just made things awkward, in fact he was smiling widely at Lola. Xander clenched his fists by his sides, his jaw tightening as he stood there with the front. Amelia looked between the both of them and then smiled. “Oh, what a pleasure to finally meet you,” she spoke. “The pleasure is mine ma’am.”Amelia paused for a second. “I could have sworn I've seen you somewhere before…” she snapped her fingers repeatedly. “Yes at the office, the executive department. I may be old but my memory isn't feeling good yet.”“Yes I used to work there.”“Used to?” Amelia shot back. Now Matthew tried to straighten up on the bed. “I don't understand, you worked at Houston corps?”Lola blinked a few times, she wasn't sure if Matthew was being serious or he was just pulling her leg.“Yes, you hired me as your secretary.”He looked as lost as a puppy. “I- I can't remember.”Amelia cleared her throat, taking it upon hers

The following day Amelia had invited the doctor over to check on Matthew, they had recommended routine therapy sessions which might help him to regain his lost memory, but the doctor advised that if they were not working, they just had to let it go since he didn't lose too much. Martha brought a tray of orange juice for Matthew and the doctor who were in the sitting room. “Thank you so much Martha,” he said, appreciating her. She smiled, something that they rarely ever saw in the house. “It's nothing, I figured that you two might want something to drink.”The clinking of shoes met their ears and it was Raymond coming from upstairs. “Martha you're not a maid, I don't see why you're bothering yourself with such domestic tasks.” His tone was condescending but Matthew had to hold himself back from saying something, he didn't want to start any drama this morning. He faced his doctor. “So can I resume work and school?” Her face twisted as she thought, trying to weigh the pros and cons o

Karen was still a bit surprised by what she had just heard. “What about Xander? How is he taking it?” The way Lola avoided her friends eyes was very telling. It made Karen to jump as she tried to track Lola's eyes. “Hey don't look away from me, what happened between you and Xander?” “Let's just say, I don't think our relationship is going past a friendship.” A frown formed on Karen's face. “But I thought you said he was a nice person and everything was looking good and that you had feelings for him?” “No, no… never said I had feelings for him, I was just confused at the time. And I guess my anger towards Matthew also made me to make stupid decisions. But it's clearer now, I don't think I like Xander, at least not in the romantic way.” Karen folded her hands against her chest, a slightly disappointed look forming on her face. “So tell me, who do you like? Matthew?” Lola threw her hands in the air as she shrugged. “I don't know, maybe, I think I should tell him the truth first. Abo

She took them with a small smile, “thank you,” she said, and then she stepped aside and allowed him to enter. “Just give me 5 minutes I'll be done.”With an appreciative smile, she took the flowers from him and placed them over the table before Russian into her room to finish dressing up while Karen smiled at him as he sat down. In the room, Lola decided to put on a red dress and she was just doing the finishing touches of her makeup when Karen opened the room door. “I don't know what to plan on doing, but you better tell him the truth and you better tell him fast.”The exchange a brief side hug and then Lola was ready to leave. When she came out of the room, the way she styled her hair differently made her feminine features to stand out strikingly. Matthew was in awe as he watched her curled up hair bounce against her shoulders. He extended his arms. “After you my lady,” he said romantically, causing her to blush a little.Because of their fight, she had almost forgotten just how
