"Did you sleep well?" Jackson asked as Shelly woke up."I did. Thank you." Shelly replied as she wiped her eyes and gave a loud yawn."How long have you been up"? She asked. "All through the night."

"I shouldn't have involved him."He said more to himself."What happened?" Shelly asked again. This time she yelled at him to speak up and notput her in suspense."He killed Ramsey's daughter as punishment because he helped me." Jackson said and he began to cry. He knew Ramsey's daughter. He was like a second dad to her."I am sorry." Shelly offered. Shelly was amazed at the emotional side of Jackson. She never thought that someone who did the kind of job that he did would have such emotional nature."So what do we do now?

Ben asked the chubby looking woman who was getting a bit tired of standing and talking to Ben."I want to believe the mother knows about it right now." The woman said. Ben was confused as to what to do next.He was in a foreign land with no place to stay and no one to help out. "Is that all?" The woman asked.Ben was lost in thought as to what to do and he didn't hear the woman speak."Young man I am talking to you." The woman said, her voice jogging him back to the present. "Yes! yes!"

Rose was pacing in her room. She was ill at ease after speaking with Joe. She wondered how after all this while Shelly was still alive."How could Jackson lie and betray her like that?" She thought.She began to recall the conversation she had with Joe in her mind and it got her angrier and this made her throw her phone against the dressing mirror."Hope you are okay ma?" Mrs. Mendoza asked. Rose breath in and out and then waved her away, indicating she was okay. Mrs. Mendoza carried on with what she was doing and left her alone."I need to do something about Shelly and Jackson." She spoke out loud to herself. Rose knew the implications of Shelly being alive.Shelly was mad at Roser in the first place; the reason why she told her secret to James. Rose knew it will it be easy since the person she thought that would carry out the job for her now was actually helping Shelly."How did he side with her?" Rose thought.

Now he knew why they were here and he now recalled the story Jackson told him; about his past.Although Jackson did not tell him the full story, he now understood why this dangerous looking man was here in the United States."Can I put my hands down?" Joe asked him. El Cato said yes by waving his gun after which he sat on the only chair in the room."I am also looking for him also but I know where he is." Joe said. One of El Cato's men came to him and whispered something to him."I am a man of few words but I am a man that keeps to my words. "If you can help find him, then I will let

Shelly got out of the tunnel some few minutes later and she was surprised where she found herself. "The tunnel was really a long one." She thought to herself. She wondered who might have built such a tunnel.But that wasn't her priority right now. The tunnel took her to another part of the town entirely. As she moved out of the woods unto the road, she saw a diner some meters away from her and the first thing she heard was the rumbling of her stomach.That was a signal to get something to eat. She scanned the vicinity to ascertain that no one was following her then she scurried across the road into the diner. She looked for a table that was far away from the window to sit down. As she sat down, the people who were there, having their meals stared at her briefly.She noticed it but ignored them. A slim blonde lady came to take her order. "Welcome to Downabby Diner." The lady said with an infectious smile. "Thanks." Shelly said and also returned the smile. "What would you like to ha

"You don't talk to your mother like that. Do you know what i have Bern going through?" Rose said. "What are you saying mom? Don't you know that you have made me lived a lie." She said. "Your life has not been a lie. Gerard was your father whether because he cared for you as his own." Rose said. "Mom! Why are you defending yourself this way?" Casey said."It is not about me defending myself, I am just saying that things happened and we have to live with it." Rose said. "If I may ask. Who is my father?" "Your father is dead." Shelly said. Rose was stunned. "Who asked her to come here?" She thought to herself. "What are you doing here?" Rose asked Shelly. "I asked her to come." Casey said."How could you do this to me?" Rose said.

"Good morning." Ben returned her greeting. "Can I come in?" Becky asked. "Of course! Please do come in." Ben said. "I am sorry that we have not been able to talk since I came back from Africa." She said. "We have not. With everything that has happened in the last few days, what else do you expect." Ben said. "So you are the Ben my brother told me about. You are my niece?" She said.

Mary as already knew who was calling. It was his nephew, Ben. "Oh! Ben. I have not heard from you in a while." She said. "I know aunt. I have been busy with a lot. Some weeks ago I was almost killed by an onrushing vehicle." He said."Oh my God! How are you now?" She asked. "I am doing fine. I had a broken leg and a cut on my head. The leg is almost healed although I still need a walking stick to walk." Ben said. "Was it that serious?" She asked him. "Yes! It was." He said. "I am happy that you were not killed." She said. "I am glad to be alive." He said. "How are things over there?" She asked."Things are looking up aunt." Ben said and the aunt heard the excitement in his voice. "You sound excited Ben.

Gerard was silent. He had no idea that, that was what she was referring to. He wondered how she knew about it because he had not mentioned it to anyone in the house. He was actually going to do that, first thing in the morning when everyone who worked in his mansion were present. Gerard began to thonk about how she might have known about it.Rose by now was exhausted and disappointed because this was not the way she planned on handling the discussion with Gerard. "Who told you that Ben is my son?" He asked her. Rose was quiet because she did not know what to tell him. Gerard knew that Rose was a woman who was very desperate. He understood that she was someone who would do anything to get what she wanted even if it meant taking out the person.This was why Gerard had told Ben not to tell anyone about it until he told him to. Gerard was being careful of his wife. "Rose! Who told you that Ben is my son." He asked her again. Rose had no other option but to tell him the truth. "Some days a

Victor asked her. "I am here." Rose said. Rose wassurprisingly calm. "I am sure you knew about Ben being his son." Victor said. "I just knew two days ago even though I had to find out myself." Rose said."How do you mean, you had to find out yourself?" Victor asked her. "He did not tell me about it. I had to get a hand on the result of the DNA test that he did to know about it." Rose said rather irritatingly. "Okay! I think I understand what you meant earlier on." Victor said. There was a brief silence. "Listen Mr. Victor, do not call again. I thought I made that clear the last time we spoke." Rose said."I know that you did but I just felt that you needed to know about what happened this morning." Victor said."Like I have said don't ever call me again." Rose said and cut the call. "This woman i

Gerard and Ben spent all day in Ben's room and then later in the evening, they both had dinner alone without Rose. Ben was so elated that he was grinning all through that evening. Mrs. Mendoza noticed it and she was wondering what was making him feel so joyful. "Ben could not even eat. The happiness was enough satisfaction. Gerard was also not hungry. He was happy that he now had an heir. Someone that would take over from him when he was ready to hand it all to Ben. At some point he thought that he was sterile. He thought he was the one that had a problem getting a woman pregnant. Now it was certain that he was not a sterile man. If not for the fact that he lost one of his children, he would also have had a daughter."Dad! I am trying hard not to call you dad because you said we should keep it a secret." Ben said. "I know how hard it is going to be for you but we have to hide it until I complete what I want to do. Once that is done I will introduce you as my son to the world." Gerard
