Chris ended the call standing up from his desk still expecting a call from Briella who had told him she would send more information about getting his wife and her lover.

He put everything back in place and made his way out of the office with Marcus behind him.

"Cancel all my appointments for today as I won't be fully available, there are things I need to tend to." Chris told him as they both made their way into the Vip elevator teaming him to the exclusive garage.

"Okay sir, is there any more thing you need me to do?" Marcus asked.

"If there is then I would tell you, for now that's all." Chris walked out of the elevator making his way to his car and for I'm, he zoomed out of the garage making his way to the restaurant Melissa had told him she was in. He was filled with worry and anger knowing that it would end up this way even though he had warned her about this man and his dubious manner.

From the corner of her eyes she noticed someone approach them, she decided on her mind that she would call for help, she swung her hand in the air weakly waving at the person."Please… me." She mummbled loosing her balance but Mr Colt immediately carried her as he could no longer bear what she was doing, he needed to satisfy the hunger right away, he arrived at his room door, pulling out the keys and opening the door."Time for lunch."

    Chris was infuriated with anger and at the same time confused, he had expected to catch his wife in the act but seeing this scene was even more unexpected."Is that room service?" Mr Colt mumbled still asking off Melissa's clothings, she tried prying him off her but the drug still had effects on her making her quite vulnerable. Colt turned to look at the door wondering why the person had not given him an answer and jumped in shock, his eyes wide open."What?" His heart raced in fear as he backed away to the corner of the room not taking his eyes off Chris who had immediately taken a photo of him in the act."What would happen if this gets published as the headlines tomorrow?" Chris briskly walked into the room keeping a calm look although he was more than infuriated seeing Melissa in such state, there was no way he could forgive this man for what he had just done."No…no please." Colt clasped his hands together dropping on his knees and begging, his voice quivered and masked with fear

    Chris noticed she was about to fall and quickly caught her in his arms as she passed out, fear took over him, and pulled out his phone ing the cops and lay the complaints hoping they would arrive soon along with the emergency paramedics to tend to Melissa."Hold on, you're with me." He placed his ear close to her left chest hearing her heartbeat which was an assurance that she was still alive. "Please stay with me." His hands trembled as he held her delicate body in his arms, he was consumed in self-blame as he stared at her. Soon enough the hotel security had arrived with the police and paramedics. Colt instantly jerked up hearing the loud noises around him."Do you have any idea who I am?" He yelled backing away from the police with a bloodied face, he flung things around just to keep them away from him but the police were able to tackle him down and cuff his hands. "Get my fucking lawyer! Let me be!" He continued to yell. "I swear you would regret this." Colt snapped at Chris who

    "What do you mean by that?" Briella scrunched her brows wondering what he meant because she had given him the right address."I went to the room that you had told me they were in but neither of them was there," Chris explained to her tapping his fingers on his leg as paced around the room."The… Wrong room?" Briella stuttered."You can check and see what I mean," Chris suggested to her to show that he was indeed telling her the truthThe other end of the line was silent as Briella was in shock not knowing how to defend herself from what he said."I was sure I sent the right address to you." She argued while scrolling through her phone and gasped when she saw that the address was wrong although it wasn't too far from where her husband and Aria had lodged, she suddenly felt guilty that she had lashed at him without thoroughly checking if it was her fault."I apologize for the misunderstanding." Her voice quivered as though it was at the point of breaking down, it sounded more low-pitche

    Chris talked with the officers who had also made sure Melissa had an examination to be sure that she wasn't raped by Mr Colt. Melissa had already woken up and was still in shock at what had happened to her. "I need you to be calm okay?" Chris said to her stunning beside the bed where she sat quietly. She couldn't look him in the eye as she recalled compelling him to let her meet Mr Colt. Her nativity have almost cost her a lot if Chris hadn't been there to save her. She wriggled her fingers as tears shimmered in her eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say anything to him letting the room be swallowed up by silence. "I would be leaving right away." Chris stood up from where he sat about to leave when Melissa held his arm gazing up at him sniffing her tears back, Chris felt a sudden surge of spark in him, he trailed his eyes to her hand which she quickly pulled away taking away the spark with it which he weirdly liked but brushed off the feeling again. "I'm sorry." She mumbled looking

    They both walked out of the car making their way to the entrance of the house when Chris moved a piece of paper lying on the floor and picked it up."What's that?" Aria asked curiously walking closer to him but he didn't reply her just yet and swiped in the card to unlock the door so they could both go in, locking the door behind he slumped tiredly on the chair and opened the paper immediately widening his eyes in shock, he couldn't believe it and didn't know how possible this was."Why do you have a late payment credit card issue?" He handed the paper over to Aria who took it from him and stared at it in absolute surprise. He stared back at her with furrowed brows, this was the first time this had occurred and he was quite asto naushed and had no words to say."W… well." She bit her lips nervously. " I had given my card to a friend of mine to use." She looked up at her husband who found it hard to believe her statement but pretended to anyway."Oh." He nodded his head tiredly, lettin

    Chris clenched his fists trying hard to contain the anger he was feeling, he needed to punch something to let out his anger and just punched his pillow, holding his head in desperation while trying to process what he had just seen."That's not all though," Briella informed him in an almost low to e-sounding whisper but he could hear her quite well. "They always went to a bath center during the afternoon…." She paused for a second waiting to clarify if she was to go on or not and his silence compelled her to continue."They often go to a hotel and then the bath center almost all the time, so we could probably try to catch them up in the act again," Briella added letting out a sigh, Chris could tell how sad she was feeling telling him all this and knew he needed to take charge and do something quite soon."It's alright, I'll give you feedback soon, all of this will be over soon." He assured her."That would be great, if I find any other thing then I would call you." She mumbled in a low

    "No one's coming here to save you so why scream huh?" Kade smirked at her as she wriggled beneath him trying to pry herself off him but he was too strong and pinned her down. Just then the door swung open startling Kade who immediately jumped away from Amelia staring at the men in confusion."Who are you people?" He questioned them angrily. "Couldn't you see that I'm in the middle of something?" He pointed towards Amelia who immediately ran behind one of the men."Looks like you're mistaken, we're about to kick your ass so next time you know the best place to keep that tail of yours is between your legs." One of the men smirked at Kade who was doing everything not to get intimidated by the men who were preparing themselves to kick his ass."You should take your advice, you probably do worse than m-" Before he could finish his sentence a punch had landed on his cheeks causing him to stumble to the floor, the moves were smooth and the men didn't seem like normal thugs, they were well-tr

Gradually sensing the heat and bright light from the sun, she blinked her eyes open, adjusting herself into a comfortable position on the bed. The space beside her was empty, Chris nowhere in sight. "Maybe he's working in his study." She muttered to herself, trying to sit upright. Chris now worked from home because of Melissa. He wanted to make sure that she never got to stress herself during the last few months of her pregnancy, and that he was always there whenever she needed him. He only went to the office if the situation needed itTwisting her neck sideways to relieve them of it's stiffness, her hand instantly went to her protruding belly, rubbing gentle circles around them as a smile played on her lips. It felt like yesterday when they were unsure of their love, but now a year had passed. Gradually

He also took it as a time for her to take a break from all the stress that had happened to her."Aren't these gifts a little too much?"

    "What?" Melissa was stunned to see Aria and glanced at Chris."She's with Alex." He forced out the words and gazed at Melissa."Such a whore." She mumbled and pulled out a gun from her pocket aiming at Aria."You have a death wish, don't you? Stooping so low that you spread your legs for every man you see.""What the hell do you know about me huh?" Aria lashed out."I know that you're a whore, that's for certain." Melissa shrugged her shoulders, Chris had finally noticed the way Melissa dressed as an officer and tilted their head wondering if he was making things up."Why are you wearing this?"

She gave him a quick smile before gazing at Aria who was also shocked at the discovery."So all this while you used working with him as a cover-up?" Aria smirked. "Wouldn't it be shameful if they knew how you got pregnant?""That is none of your concern!" Chris raised his voice at Aria."Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" S

He pointed to Chris who remained quiet and hung his head low."I doubt that is the situation here." She threw herself onto Alex and smiled."You better get away from her or I will blast your head off."

Alex's voice erupted in the room and he the door creaked open, Chris struggled to lift his head and gazed at him."He needs treatment." He turned to Marcus who was laying weakly on the floor. "He has nothing to do with this, why does he have to suffer?" "You seem quite healthy for someone how head starved." Alex lit up a cigarette gazing at Chris coldly. "Answer me!" Chris demanded but Alex still wasn't bothered by his question."I'm slowly going to drive you to insanity to the point where you would beg me to end your life but I would not," Alec said, puffing the smoke in Chris' face and laughing. "You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an

Alex laughed sarcasticallyChris was still in shock and hadn't recovered, he recalled that after that incident he was been blamed for the death of his step brother who couldn't be found, and was taken to his grandmother's place to live till he grew up and had never heard from his parents because they had cut him off."You faked your death?" Chris gazed at him in annoyance."How could you do such a thing to me?" Alex pouted his lips looking like a maniac."I never intended to do so, but now that I think of it I should have pushed you harder so that you would truly die." Chris stared at him waiting for some sort of explanation. "So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words. Chris turned his gaze to Marcus who was still unconscious and frowned.Melissa

    The cold freezing water flowing down Chris' body caused him to jerk up up I'm shock, panting as he tried to catch his breath and survey his unfamiliar surroundings."Wake up Prince Charming." He heard a familiar voice echo in his ear, he gazed at the man standing in front of him dressed in an all-black attire that gave off chilly vibes. "I don't have the entire day to wait for you."Chris winced in pain gazing at the man who hit him, his entire body ached and he felt intense pain in his head as warm liquid seeped out."Who are you?" Chris asked glaring at him."What are you so keen to know who I am since you would be dying here?" "At least I remember you once I'm out of here and you're six foots under…. Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself." Chris frowned at him trying to get a view of his fave behind the mask and suddenly felt a sense o
