Sitting beside her mother and looking helplessly. Her phone started ringing. It was a strange number but she picked it almost immediately."Hello" she greeted"Have you gathered my money?" Came Carl's voice.She was shocked because she changed her contact information after breaking up with Carl at school.She wondered where he got her phone number and wanted to disconnect the call when she heard a tiny voice underneath."Daddy" the little child called happily.Clara could feel her heart pounding harder as she heard the voice of the child "Carl, i-is that my child?" She miraculously found her voice and asked."I'll talk to you later, better find my money before then" he answered then hung up the call."Who is that and what child are you talking about?" Ava asked, curious to know what was happening."It's Carl. We somehow met a few days ago and he is now talking about his money. I heard a tiny voice underneath and thought it belonged to my child" she replied."Carl? The guy that you sw
Laying down beside him with her head placed on his arm. Karina couldn't close her eyes, trying so hard to recall her connecting with Lucas.Adam noticed her restless. It is unusual for Karina not to fall asleep while sleeping on his arm except something was bothering her mind."Babe," Adam called, planting a small kiss on her forehead."Hun" she answered."Are you still thinking about the man?' he questioned"Sure, I don't know the part of my memory that is missing. Who knows? He might be my uncle or my mother's friend " she answered."What about your father? You have never mentioned anything that related to your father and I doubt if you have ever met him alive but knowing you have a younger sister of the same blood, then you met him alive. What if he is your father?" He further questioned.The question got Karina. She suddenly stood up She has never thought about it "You said there are his pictures in your house and your mother always stared at them. Don't you have any memories of
"Did you do anything wrong? Why are you shaking? Tell me, what happened?" Ava bombarded her daughter with questions upon seeing her reaction."Mom, I'm doomed. Not only am I doomed but we are both doomed. My helper has been arrested. Not only was she arrested for trafficking but also murdering, which means her probability of escaping this trial is very slim. Mom, she is my only hope of coming out of this poverty. She made some promises that I have been hanging onto. I am even scared of getting dragged with her if someone figures out that I've met her twice" she explained, still in shock and checking the pictures again, hoping she was the one hallucinating."What do you want us to do now? Maybe you should come clean to Adam to avoid getting dragged with you" Ava suggested."I'm sure I'll lose my head if I do that. It's a grave sin that I won't dare open my mouth to tell another person. I just need to find a lie to cover up whenever I am summoned for questioning but I really wished that
"Doctor! Doctor!" Lucas screamed and ran out to call the doctor's attention.The man rushed inside with two of his nurses and the nurses gestured to the family to excuse them while the Doctor was attending to Karina's mother.Kayla was already on the ground, sobbing and hoping their mother would be fine.Karina and Lucas were also lost in their own thoughts, making it difficult to console each other."She opened her eyes for the first time. She pulled it to this level and I'm sure that she is gonna pull it out. She will be fine for us, yes! She will" Lucas Keith murmuring, giving himself some new hopes.After a while, The doctor came out with giggles noticeable from his lips.They all rushed to meet him for the update of her health."What happened to mom? Can I see her?""Is she going to be okay? She opened her eyes right? I saw her opening her eyes?""Why is she gasping for air when she is on oxygen? Don't tell me that something will happen to my mom" They Kept bombarding the doctor
"Hey! Where the heck are you? Comma releases me right now! Don't you know who I am? I'm the father in law of his highness, Prince Adam! I'll tell him all what you are doing to me and I promise that you will be greatly punished for harassing his wife's father! Where is my phone? I need to pull a call across to him! Where you are! Bastard!" He was yelling and threatening the cops inside the cell that he was locked in."Wait, what did you say? What position did you talk about?" The head cop that arrested him asked."Didn't you know? I'm Karina's father and also the head of the accounting department in royal electronics. Release me now and I'll forgive you, else you will lose your job and be greatly punished for it" he answered, hoping that his threat will bail him out."Jeez! You need to stop being a pain in my ass. You ain't the only person here and for your information cos it seems that you are still in darkness, prince Adam was the one that reported you. If care isn't taken, I'll als
Immediately Sofia ran out of the restaurant, Felix bowed his head in regret He has been anticipating for that moment that Sofia would accept his proposal and he had no misunderstanding with her till that moment, where could he have gone wrong?"She might be shy or too shocked to accept this. I should have planned a proposal between the two of us only" he regretted his actions, stood up, picked his car key and ran out of the restaurant to chase after her."Oops! He was heartbroken""Good guys deserve better ladies but he fell in love with a wrong person""How I wish the proposal was meant for me. I would have screamed out my lung in happiness""I need to upload this. I just hope I won't get sued for barging into another's person private life "Those were the comments from the audience.Felix heard them all as he was running out.When he got outside, he realized that he was already late. Sofia was nowhere to be found.He immediately hopped into his car and started driving."I need to
At the court of law, Cindy was brought inside the court. She looked messed up and at that moment, the expression on her face was confusing.I mean she was looking like someone with mixed feelings.One might think she was scared, another would think there was another emotion that shows a little hint of hope on her face.In another word, no one was able to figure out her emotion as it was completely hidden.Prince Adam, Lucas, Karina, Felix, Francis and others were also present at the court hearing.The judge soon entered and without wasting another second, the hearing beganIt was a tough matter between Cindy's lawyer and the public prosecutor as they both tried to secure their spot, concerning the case."In one word, Cindy tried to assassinate the country king, killed his friend and wife, also involved in illegal business such as mining and child trafficking? Gosh! That was too much. Without wasting much of our time, Cindy is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment while her men are sen
"Why did you bring me here? Haven't you done enough?" Cindy yelled as she suddenly lost it upon seeing Adam, who was moving closer to her with his hands in his pockets."Can't you see? I thought you were smart to notice that! I'm not here to ruin you this time around but to crash you completely!" Adam answered, adding a chuckle."What are you going to do this time around? What! When you have a punishment upto your sleeve, why didn't you execute it, rather than dragging me to the court?" She further asked, sounding furious."What other reason would I do that rather than having your dignity in the mud? I dragged you to the court for other people to learn their lesson and try not to execute their illegal business in my country. If Cindy could face the law, who else do you think is going to dare me? Oh! You were thinking that your men will come to save you from the prison? I've thought about that! That's why I'm adding this to the court order" Adam answered her questions."You don't need
