"What?! Impossible!" Richester flared up, his eyes seriously fixed on the television.

"Zoey?" He was in doubt and confusion, staring at the news as they showed short clips.

"This is unbelievable." He hit the armchair so hard that his hand ached, but he didn't wince.

Wasn't it a week or two since he last saw Zoey? How did she end up dead in an abandoned building?

Raymond rushed into the room, his eyes filled with terror. He breathed heavily, as though he had run a lap.

"Boss, now I think of it. I think there is something fishy about Mandela's hospital." Raymond spilled, and Richester faced him without intruding; he waited for him to proceed.

"Zoey also went to Mandela's hospital on that same day." Raymond said this with certainty while shaking his head.

"It was in broad daylight! Who killed her, and why did they?" He queried in anxiety, and Raymond began to wonder if he was in a position to answer that.

He only brought information and wasn't the perpetrator of the crime.

    "You look familiar." She paused to think, and Richester thought she had started recovering; thus, his eyes stared at her intently, hoping that she would at least remember him or something."Oh, right. From Rich Hospital, right?" His hope shattered. "Why do you want to speak with me privately?" She questioned him, curling her lips."Well - -" He cleared his throat, finding it difficult to say what he had in mind."Wait, do you know me just like Mr. Lorenzo?" She asked anxiously, and he shook his head."I don't know about Lorenzo, but I'm the only person you can trust." Richester commented. "I'm here to tell you something that has to do with your past." He added that she sat upright without protesting."That means you are someone I should know." She mumbled."Stella, she is never your best friend or good friend. Whatever it is, Stella isn't someone you were close to." Richester informed her seriously, and she shook her head."No doubt, I didn't feel the attraction. I knew something was o

    "What?" Stella exchanged a weird look with her mother before turning back to Damien."What did you say?" Her eyes were filled with disdain and annoyance."People from the CQ Hotel came here earlier and were asking for Miss. Amanda, we can't keep her here any further." Damien answered seriously.He exchanged a knowing stare with Amanda because it had all been planned out. They were doing this intentionally to put their plan in place, and they were a step ahead of success."How did they locate her?" Madam Harriet stared at them cryptically, as she was already spotting lies in their excuses."What's his name again?" He thought outwardly. "Is it yes, Lorenzo? Mr. Lorenzo lured them here. They said she was missing." Damien rambled with words abruptly.Madam Harriet wanted to protest when Stella cleared her throat."He is right. Mr. Lorenzo was there when I left with Amanda." Stella said, lowering her face."But I don't want to leave." Amanda rebuked. "I'm loving my stay here." Amanda shook

    Amanda stepped into the CQ Hotel, and based on Leonard's arrangement, the entire staff were out to welcome her in uniform, and she felt so happy to have returned even though she couldn't remember some important memories."Good to have you back." The staff dispersed as Amanda went to her office with Leonard."I can't thank you enough for standing by me. It must have been tough." She said it sincerely with a smile on her face, and he nodded."It's nothing. I do good things for good women." He winked at her flirtatiously. They entered her office, and immediately she opened the window, and they settled."How are you feeling? Where have you been?" Leonard choked her with questions, and she smirked."Been good. So much has happened, but one thing is good: I have regained a few memories of my time in this hospital." She informed him, and his eyes widened in amazement."That's the best news I have heard this year." He exaggerated, which made her laugh."You are kidding, right?""How have stoc

    The gross sound coming from her matrimonial bedroom made her stop and she opened the door without knocking. She was certain that something was going on and she heard it.Damien and Bianca faced the exit immediately when the door opened. Stella stared at them in fury, having no words to say to them. She swallowed hard.“What’s going on?” Stella’s voice resonated in the room since none of them made any effort to break the awkward silence.“My sister had a cramp, and I’m massaging her feet,” Damien said these words slyly, as though it weren’t a big deal.Stella heard a moaning sound; she couldn’t be mistaken. Her eyes drifted to the bed, but it was arranged, and their outfit also looked normal. It doesn’t look like they were doing something that she had imagined. She wasn’t comfortable with Bianca being around.“Well, you could at least do that in the living room.” She walked into the room and approached the vanity table.“Why did you return? I thought you left for work?” Damien let go o

    Louis quickly rushed into the staff lounge. He scanned the entire lounge as his phone kept ringing in his trouser pocket. When he was relieved that he was the only one in the room, he picked up his phone.“Yes, boss.” He said it courteously, quickly bowing as if the caller were right before him.“I have a new mission for you.” The caller’s audible voice came up, and Louis became restless again.He scanned the room again with a deep sigh.“I’m all ears, boss.” He said these words cautiously.Lorenzo saw Amanda lying in the lobby; he rushed over to her and gave her a sharp look at the hallway, then started patting her.“Amanda!” He called out “Amy!” He was already getting worried.“Amanda?” Seeing that his call was doing no justice, he carried her and rushed into the elevator.“Emergency! Emergency!” Lorenzo shouted at the top of his voice with fear lancing in his eyes as he rushed into the ER. He was impatient and worried; some nurses and doctors followed him as he placed her on the be

    Madam Harriet and Stella paced around the office; they were in panic mode. Madam Harriet bit her lips and placed her hands on her desk; her feet tapped on the floor.“Are you certain about this?” She wasn’t comfortable with what she just heard.“I’m.” Stella sighed heavily. “She was tended to by Doctor Louis; do we have any troubles?” Stella raised a brow, and Madam Harriet exhaled sharply.“I doubt.” She sighed heavily.There was a sharp knock on the door, and she quickly told the person to come in, and the person turned out to be Louis. She exchanged knowing stares with Stella.“How is my friend?" Stella acted as though her whole life depended on Amanda; Louis ignored her and faced Madam Harriet.“She is fine. She has regained her memory.” He said he was certain of his statement because that was true.Madam Harriet gasped, closing her mouth.“Does that mean - - - Does that mean that she can remember?

    Richester washed his hands in the sink, breathing heavily.“That gave me a fright.” He mumbled to himself as he took off his nose mask.“That was a good one.” Stanley nodded, hitting his arm softly. “But - -” They stopped walking and faced each other. “What happened back there?” Stanley’s question came unexpectedly, and he cleared his throat nervously.“About that.” He batted his lashes as they started walking again. “She started showing signs of convulsion; luckily, I tended to it faster.” He smiled briefly; he knew the state he was in when the incident happened.He thought it was an unwarranted cardiac arrest, which would have made his treatment nothing but useless.“That’s great; at least some of the patients are now satisfied.” Stanley agreed while nodding as they strolled into the hallway.He knew that was the only way to gain the public's favor again, and doing these little treatments and surgeries could boost his popularity again.Just like Grandma Pia said, it was step by step

    “I told you she completely lost everything.” Stella rolled her eyes disgustingly, placing her handbag on the table.“Are you sure? What if she is faking it?” Madam Harriet was still in doubt.She wasn’t ready to shoulder any responsibility if ever their secret leaked.“I doubt if she was. She couldn’t even remember Lorenzo or anyone.” Stella nodded with certainty.“So, why did Doctor Louis announce that she has regained her memory? Does he want to create a misunderstanding between the big boss and me?” Madam Harriet curled her lips, trying to figure out why Louis lied. He wouldn’t do that without a reason.“Well, I’m a witness now. We could explain everything to the big boss.” Stella took a glass of wine on the table and gulped.“There is no need for that, he already knows..” She sighed heavily, rubbing her forehead.They were still discussing intently when Damien strolled into the living room with Bianca. They exchanged pleasantries with unpleasant facial expressions.“Bianca.” Madam

Who called them?” He questioned anxiously but got no response, his eyes wandered around until he noticed that someone was missing.“Stella! It’s Stella.” He assumed correctly.“We can’t run away, after all, we didn’t kill anyone so no need to hide.” Mada Pia began. “Let’s go out and face them.” She suggested.Richester was a bit reluctant, he was afraid that the news might drain his reputation again.

It needed someone with a strong mind and a good connection.Everything sailed smoothly and steadily in the prison but for Trevor’s lackeys, they had it hot.“What are you waiting for?” Theo’s voice came up, staring at them disdainfully.“Sir, we haven't eaten any - -” Charles hadn’t finished his statement when a hot slap rested on his face, he supported his cheek with his hands looking shocked at the general’s action.“Do you want me to repeat myself?” He raised a scornful brow at them, t

Shortly after a knock, Glenn walked in.“Good morning, boss. We have some visitors.” Glenn informed him politely.“Who are they?” He asked before turning over to her, all these while he had been staring into the bustling city through the panoramic view.“They refused to say who they were.” Glenn shook her head.After a long silence, he exhaled heavily.“Let them in.” He sat down on his seat and crossed his legs, Glenn bowed and left.Richester noticed her lingering affection for him and shunned her immediately so all the feeling she had for him turned into respect as she had to mind her lane if ever she wanted to keep her job.A few minutes after she lef

    “There is a problem, boss,” Harold said, his hands sweating as he flashed his laptop screen at Damien’s face. Damien looked at the laptop seriously.“How come? Who bought it and cleared our debt?” His brows furrowed.“The investor's status is incognito and can’t be spotted.” Harold sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.“That’s good. We got our funds back and cornered Stella perfectly.” He began. “Then, we have to take their mansion and last properties to clear the remaining debts.” He said conclusively and Harold nodded.Madam Harriet and Stella walked into Mandela Hospital with confident strides, after bailing herself out of jail, she couldn’t wait to claim her hospital and start proceeding with her plans.“What’s my missed schedule?” Madam Harriet asked, dancing her fingers on the counter.“Schedule?

What happened to my mother?” Her voice could be heard in the entire precinct as she was sounding like an insane pregnant woman.“Madam Stella, be calm. Your mother only fainted.” The officer explained to her rashly.“Only fainted? Did you call that only? How many times have you beaten her up to confess what she hasn't done?” She transferred her losses and anger at him, staring at him in disgust.The officer shook his head.

    “Honey, honey,” Stella rushed into the mansion, sweating and breathing heavily. She almost bumped into Damien in the lobby.He had an inexpressive expression.“Honey, we are in trouble.” She panicked.He darted his eyes at her for a while before sighing.“Trouble? What have you done this time?” He asked, walking to the living room.“I didn’t cause anything, it's just that - - the thing is that - - you see, the problem is - -” She stuttered, unable to come clean to her husband. She was ashamed to tell him that she borrowed money from loan sharks and also afraid that he might make jest of her or insult her.“If you don’t have anything to say, then don’t disturb my peace because I’m in a hurry.” He sneered disgustingly.She was annoyed but she was in no position to get angry with him because he was her only hope. He had money. He had funds somewhere so he could help elevate her family since they needed it.“You see, I borrowed some funds from a loan shark and right now, the man is on my
