Chris stared at his wife's car in surprise knowing quite well she had left with it but now it was parked here like it was never touched in the first place. "Whats wrong?" Brian asked behind him noticing how tensed his body was as he looked around as if searching for something. Chris walked towards the car and stared at it as of searching for a fault but there was nothing. "It's nothing." He mumbled knowing that he would seem as though he was a psycho if he said what was happening. Brian nodded his head at him and continued to admire the surrounding of the garage and fleet of cars parked. "Doesn't she take her car when going to work?" Brian noted and pointed out the already obvious thing to Chris. "Yeah." He answered tirjngnhos gaze to Brian. "She had left with the car but I have no idea how it got back here and how she had gotten into his car." He explained. "You should know how cunny she is and it's possible she must have tricked you in some way." Brian shrugged his shoulders t
Chris scrunch the paper in his hands biting his lower lip and let out a deep sigh gazing at the white wall of the hospital as though it would be able to at least calm him and assure him that he would be alright, he gazed down at the paper again shutting his eyes and frowning. "How could this be?" He huffed, tapping his foot impatiently, the couldn't believe it and there was no way he was going to accept this result. "Sorry about that man, but you need to pull yourself together and give her all the support she needs right now." Brian tried calming him down, they both made their way into the hospital as they had come right from home to see how Aria was faring. They got into the elevator and got put at the third floor making their way to the private room Chris had paid for his wife to be put in for safety reasons. He knocked the door lightly and walked in along with Brian behind him, he noticed that a nurse was tending to his wife and Susan was seated quietly watching them and when they
Chris was dumbstruck and at the same time I'm terror, now he knew that his wife was harmed and this whole situation was just a way of maneuvering the true intentions displayed."Why then did you say nothing?" Chris frowned at her, Susan sighed looking around curling her fists."I was scared that something could happen to me…. Now that I think about it I didn't know." She threw her hands in the air ****It was lunch break at the office and Melissa had use that chance to go grab some food outside the company because she didn't like the food being prepared at the office, she turned arounf walking out the door with her food in hand when she bumped into someone causing her to stable back falling to the floor."Ouch!" She frkwned staring at her food that had thankfully not scattered in the floor, the lady harloed her up from the floor apologizing almost immediately."I'm so sorry.""It's alright, I wasn't watching where I was going."Melissa smiled at the woman who had a scarf covering her
"Sir." Melissa turned back to gaze at him wriggling her hand skeptically wondering if it was a good idea to ask him."What Is it?" Chris looked up at her tilting his brows to the side."I heard your wife is still at the hospital. How is she faring?" "She's getting better," Chris assured her, smiling back at her, happy that someone at least cared to ask. "How did you know about it?" "It's all over the news that she got into an accident with her driver," Melissa explained, Chris scrunched his face nodding at her words."Driver?" "Yes sir, you can check it up." Melissa showed him the news on the iPad in her hands and he was stunned to see it. Was someone trying to cover up the truth about his wife being with another man? How did the reporters know it was her driver when she wasn't even in her car? So many questions ran through his head making his head ache."It's fine." Chris nodded at her to leave watching her sway her hips from side to side but quickly turned away, now wasn't the ti
"How could this be?" He scrunched his face gazing at the ring in his hand, he recalled picking up her ring at the site of the incident. How then is there another ring, there was no duplicate of this ring as it was a custom-made ring he had bought specifically for his wife and there was no extra…. Except one of them was fake, now which one of them because they seem identical. He compared both of them but couldn't tell the difference so he decided to go to the store he had bought it from. He was about to go to the store when the police arrived, Chris frowned his lips and walked towards the door. "Thank goodness you're here." He sighed in relief opening the door for them to come in. "I just came home a few minutes ago and saw that my house was oddly occupied and noticed a man in black but before I could get a hold of anything, he ran away," Chris explained still holding his gun in his hand which one of the officers had eyed curiously but Chris wasn't at all bothered since he had the pap
"Fake?" Chris' eyes widened as he gazed at the rings, he hadn't expected the one he found at the accident scene was the fake one and now he was even more skeptical about the whole case, he could sense some foul play in the whole situation but couldn't point out what part."Thank you," Chris said to the lady before walking out of the store and driving back home, for the day he couldn't do anything thing until the next morning, less than an hour later he got home and made himself a cup of coffee to calm his ber was while he did some thinking. The silent house was dehumanizing for him and as every second passed he felt like it was a hundred years.Aria always went on business trip trips and had the house to himself most time but this time he couldn't cope, he missed her very presence and craved to be with her not minding what hidden secrets she had that were left for him to unravel. The night went by for long hours and yet Chris couldn't bring himself to sleep until the early hours of th
Chris stared at the photos in shock and stared at them intensely to know if he was indeed seeing the right thing."Did you like what you saw?" Bunny messaged him but Chris didn't reply as he was still mortified by it. The woman in the photo looked exactly like his wife and the man seemed somewhat similar to Kade or he was in fact, Kade."How am I sure you aren't lying to me?" Chris questioned furrowing his eyes rows still gazing at the photos that seemed too good to be true.."And why would I fake them?" "You have every reason to do so, I didn't know what your full aim is but I would find out." Chris stared at the screen of his phone."You can find out for yourself and see if I'm indeed lying., Bunny answered him and stopped replying to others sent to him. Chris was stuck in confusion and had no idea what move to make, he had wanted to talk to Briella about this, and just as he thought of calling her, her call came in and I immediately answered."Did you get the photos?" She asked ha
Chris pulled out the paper and went through it staring blankly when he saw the result, his chest felt tight and his eyes widened, his eyes gazing at the result showing negative. Which meant that his Aria hadn't at all been in an accident."I hope it's good news because she's not in that state." The doctor referred to the woman whom he had thought was Aria all this time and was receiving treatment, he wondered what this could play as put in place and where was his wife at the moment. He recalled the photos Bunny had sent him and frowned, his lips sought if believing it. It could have been a scheme both his wife and Kade had planned just so they could escape and be with each other, he checked the other file which was the result for Kade and it was the same with his wife…. Negative. Chris was trying hard not to be shocked but the whole situation was something out of the blue."Thank you, Dr Mark." Chris stood up from the chair shaking the man's hands before turning around and walking aw
The morning dawned with a delicate shine of sunlight, promising warmth for that day. The sunlight peered through the curtains casting a soft glow on Melissa's face as she slept. 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
Melissa stared at her wedding gown with joy plastered on her face. She had begun preparing for her wedding and was more than excited, she had asked her friend Daphne to come help her out in choosing her wedding gowns since she could not make up her mind.Cnrid had recommended that we go to a luxury "Isn't this perfect?" She turned around to ask her friend Daphne."Sure, it suits your sling but I feel it may be too heavy for you to move around," Daphne suggested while staring at the dress. "Why not try another?"The staff beside them pointed to a series of other options to choose from but Melissa was confused and didn't know which one to take."Have you found the one you like?" Chris's voice erupted in the room and they turned to gaze at him. Melissa gazed at him illuminating her face with a smile, she walked towards him and embraced him in a warm hug."Not yet, I still haven't made up my mind on which one to choose." She pouted her lips gazing at the numerous gowns available. "Why do
Chris had taken Melissa on a vacation trip so they could enjoy their moment together and get to know each other more. 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?" Melissa pouted gaznng at the mirror admiring the silver dress he had bought for her."You deserve the world honey don't worry too much about the worth of the gift I'm giving you, after all the most expensive thing you've given me is your heart and my money can't be enough to buy that," Chris said as he caressed her lips placing a kiss on it."Don't flatter me." She looked away shyly, he gently pulled her close to him and looked away and gazed at her."I mean every word I tell you…. Don't for once doubt it." He leaned on her chest and smiled. "I love you too much to play with your heart."."What do you think about going out for dinner later this evening?" He asked gazing at her curiously. "It's okay if you don't feel like it." He added.
Weeks had passed since the whole incident and Chris was finally getting better although had to walk around with a walking stick to aid his movement, on the other hand, Melissa was still admitted to the hospital and still unconscious.It had saddened him to know that she lost the child but thankfully she was still alive. Chris walked into the ward with fresh flowers to put in her room so she could have a nicely scented room."Good morning princess." He smiled at Melissa laying in the bed and the only thing he got back was the beeping machine noises that assured him she was right.He walked towards the flower vase replaced the old ones with the new ones he had just brought and walked to the chair to sit beside Melissa's bed. "Wale up soon okay?" He gently lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it. Her skin had gotten paler and when he had brought it to the doctor's concern, he was told that it was because she was still unconscious and when she woke up, she would get back to herself
"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?" Chris asked her curiously."Long story short I'm an investigator." 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
"Ya'll better start talking or I'm about to pry you all open." He threatened pulling out a gun from the back of his trouser. "What the hell is she here?" He asked referring to Aria who was glaring at him furiously."You seem quite energetic for the day but I'm afraid you're interrupting a heart-warming scene," Alex smirked."Aria come here right now," Kade ordered her but she stood firmly in the ground."Who do you think you're talking to honey" Sir folded her hand on her chest and smiled, Kade was somewhat taken aback, he could sense a change in her and wondered why she had behaved like this all of a sudden. "You had better watch that mouth of yours.""Just what do you mean by that?" Kade demanded, he was furious. "Are you still going to choose that bastard over me?" 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." Kade threatened hi
Several days had passed and Chris hadn't heard from his brother or had anything to eat, he was slowly losing his mind and the smell of blood enveloping the room picked him so much."It's been a while." 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
"How can it be?" Chris gasped. "You… died.""Well as you can see it's my spirit taking revenge on you." 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
