Alex did not want to believe it. She was so angry at the news. She sat in her office, having no energy to do any work at all. She was devastated. She stayed that way till she closed for the day. She packed and left the office without saying a word to anyone. She got home and then the tears that had been in her eyes, she let it out. She pulled her shoes and clothes and kept them on the bed. She could not walk up the stairs as she remained downstairs, sitting on one of her couches. She picked up her phone and tried to call Madam Theresa but she stopped. What was she going to tell her? She thought. She began to cry again. When she had dared to call. She dialed her number, she wanted Madam Theresa to know about what was going on so they could know what to do next, it was beginning to look like her coming here was in vain. She called Madam Theresa, she picked up at first ring. " Hello," she said into the phone. She sniffed in her tears as she talked. Madam Theresa could hear her sniffs
Melanie had called Clara to her house. She was so excited to discuss her pregnancy with Clara. One thing was that Alex was out of the way, the stress she had gone through to get a private investigator to monitor Alex was all over as the services of Alex would no longer be needed. She was waiting for Clara, she had already prepared Clara's favorite. The doorbell rang and she went to the door to get it. She knew who it would be. She opened it and was disappointed to see another person at the door. It was a delivery man that was outside. She took the delivery and closed the door. It was a flower and a pack of chocolate. She smiled, she knew who it was from. She took it inside admiring the flowers. Just as she was about to open the chocolate, she heard another knock on the door. She dropped the chocolate and went to open it. It was Clara this time, she welcomed her in. They hugged and she began to talk about the flowers and the chocolate that she just received. " Do you even know who
The door was opened. He walked in on her. She wanted to leave the room but he held her back. " Do you realize I just walked in and you want to leave?" Martins asked her. She turned and looked at him. " What is it? I want to leave the room. You want to restrict me now?" she asked him.He held her still, not allowing take a step. Clara was beginning to get scared that they had planned something to do to her. She felt she was late to her plans already. " Can I get your credit card and your PIN code?" Martins asked in a calm way like he was pleading but he was not. It sounded more like a command. Clara did not want to believe that she heard correctly. What did he need her credit card and PIN code for? She asked herself. She pulled out of his grip. She was visibly shaking but she had to control herself. She did not want Martins to know that she was weak or she was scared already. " What for?" She asked him. He laughed. He laughed so hard that it appeared like he was mocking her. He
Martins got home. The pains in his head were severe. Madam Felicia was trying to clean his wounds. The fight with Dennis was so serious that it gave him a cut in the head. He was not expecting it to be like that. He had wanted to confront Clara and ask her what she was doing with Dennis but it seems Dennis came prepared for him. He had his suspicion cleared. Clara was with Dennis. He wondered what she was with him for. He began to think of several reasons for her pretense but could not point it out. " Dennis and Clara are together. This is what I have been trying to tell you. I knew that something was going on but I was not sure but I am now sure" he said as his mother washed the cut. " What has that got to do with the fact that you could not get much from Clara?" Madam Felicia fired at him. She was angry that in all of these, he was unable to get all of her money. She helped him dress his wounds. He felt pain but pretended it was not that painful. His mother would look at him, sp
They sat at the table. Madam Felicia could now believe that Alex was not making up stories. She was surprised to see Jamal after a long time. She was even surprised that Jamal could come at them, meaning he was very serious about coming to arrest them. If they were not smart enough to escape from the house. Even as they came the second time to the house, they had to pack things quickly so they could leave before he caught up with them. They would have been taken to the police station. " Jamal is not going to back out of this, especially now that he has some information," Madam Theresa said. " Yes, you are right. Anyone else aware of this new location?" Martins asked.They exchanged glances, all of them answering in the negative. " I can not believe that a silly girl like Clara would do this. Clara has done enough and I blame Martins for having chances but would do nothing to her" Madam Felicia said with bitterness" She was faster than us, we needed to wake up and smell the coffee
She rushed out of bed. She was grateful that nothing had happened to her. Alex began to prepare for work. She rushed out to work. When she got to work, she saw Clara and got a way of telling her that she failed. She stuck her tongue out at her quickly, no one saw her do that. She got closer to Clara and they both exchanged looks. She kept a normal expression. Alex was certain that no one knew who was behind the information leaking out to Jamal's stepfamily, they all thought that Clara was the one being playful and needed to tell the truth. She got inside her office and saw the door open. She stayed outside to peep inside. She found nothing. She got in anyway hoping nothing was amidst.While she settled down to work. She got a call. She picked it up. " Any information?" Madam Theresa asked." No, not yet" she answered." Keep me updated," Madam Theresa said." Always" she replied. She crossed her fingers to always give Madam Theresa any information she found useful. She was still
Mrs. Alcantara thought about Melanie and decided to go see her. Since the last time, Melanie was at their house where she told them that she was pregnant. She decided to go to her house to see how she was doing. She did not want to tell her husband because he might not let her go. The last time, Melanie asked her to leave her house but she felt that this time, it would be different because of what happened the last time Melanie visited them. She got dressed already. She did not want her husband to talk her into not going.Mr. Alcantara wondered why she was all dressed. He does not remember any plans of them going somewhere. He kept quiet waiting for when she would tell him where she was going. She finished up and went to meet Mr. Alcantara. He pretended as though he did not see her come to where he was. She went beside him and sat down. " I want to go see Melanie. I feel I should go see her, it has been a long I saw her and you know she needs someone like me around her" she said
Madam Theresa sat in the sitting room with the rest. She had called Dave in. She wanted to keep Alex out of the eyes of Nathan, Martin, and Madam Felicia. They would only be seeing more of Dave. She wanted to protect her niece. They had kicked against the idea of bringing Dave for Melanie but they had to agree to let him do it. Dave had taken Melanie out for a stroll. He had a good time with her. However, she was uncomfortable and kept on mentioning that she wanted to go home. Dave told everyone everything that transpired between them. " She will not be an easy nut to crack," he said " Do what you have to" madam Felicia said. " And your niece should be smart and keep up. I do not want anyone ruining my plans" Dave said. He turned and looked at Madam Theresa. Madam Theresa nodded her head. She had to tell Alex not to mess up their plans. Whatever Melanie was carrying has to be removed and it has to be done fast. " I want us to go check our house. You know no matter how we run.
