Stella's footwear made lousy sounds as she came downstairs, looking annoyed. Since Damien brought in his so-called sister, she has been feeling uncomfortable because he has had little or no time for her. They were always together, laughing, cuddling, and going out.

Stella bit her fingernails while turning water into the mug; she didn't know when it overflowed until Amanda caught her hand in the air and placed the jug on the table.

"What are you thinking about? Are you okay?" Amanda looked curious, her voice permeating concern. Stella sighed heavily as she shook her head.

She almost forgot that Amanda was here. She wanted to send her away, but her mother instructed her to keep Amanda close till the end to know if she was faking it.

"When will all these be over?" She wasn't satisfied with her mother's decision, but she couldn't do otherwise.

Meanwhile, Amanda didn't know they had taken her hostage. She continued acting stupid and accepting all the lies she was being told.

"I'm okay." Sh

It's been a while since they spoke, and she heard Amanda was residing with them, so she wanted to have smooth access into the mansion."I will give you the full update when I'm done here." She was on a phone call."Don't get so impatient. I'm almost there." She rolled her eyes as she stepped into the elevator."Me? Well, I will give her a peace of my mind. Nothing less than that."

    "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."To think of i

    "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

    “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?

    “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
