Abigail's cry for help grew louder as Alex debated within himself if he should help her despite everything she has done to him in the past or just turn a blind eye and led Lee to some other part of the Estate.Then he took a quick glance at her and immediately remembered how helpless she looked in the hospital room while the Doctor was trying to force himself on her.That was when he made his decision and started calculating how he was going to go about helping her, scaling the wall without a ladder was out of the question, so he asked Abigail, "What's wrong Abigail, lost your key or something?"She waited for a few seconds, managing to stop her sobbing long enough to let out some intelligible words."My mom, my mom, she locked me in here and took the key," she said to the two men standing on the Estate grounds and looking up at her."What the hell, why would she do that, what did you do?""It's a long story, Alex. I'll tell you everything once I'm out of here, I need to be as away fr

The challenge that Alex and Lee faced next, was that not only did they not know which key exactly was the key to Abigail's room, but they also had to search through not one but at least three bunches of keys laying on the kitchen counter.The maids must have dropped their different bunches of keys when coming in to work, in order not to risk losing them in the course of cooking, or maybe losing a key down the drain."So what do we do now, Lex?" Lee inquired and awaited for Alex's response, both men watched in silence, letting their eyes, roam around the room.One of the men in Chef's attire turned and faced the door, using his hands to give instructions that were too inaudible for Alex and Lee to hear clearly— to his subordinates in the kitchen. Alex and Lee hide behind the walls outside the kitchen door on either side, in order to avoid being seen.Two of the workers the chef guy was talking to head into a door in the kitchen, Alex and Lee presume it's the pantry."It's best to wai

Abigail ignored Alex, she wasn't crazy, and staying at the King's palace was the last thing she would do. With her backpack in her left hand, she made her way to the back door"Where are we heading," Lee asked, he was cautious, unlike Alex who just followed Abigail like a pet"The back door, close to the garden" Abigail replied and Alex turned to face Lee, they both had one thing in mind "The Keys" They both chorused"What?" Abigail asked in a low tone, it almost sounded like a whisper"How can we return the keys," Alex asked"This is risky," Lee said"Drop it somewhere, anywhere," Abigail said as she couldn't afford to go back Alex and Lee stared at each other for some time, "Are you just going to keep staring at each other" Abigail said frustrated"Let's go back and drop the keys, I don't want Mr. Kim to find out that we were here," Alex said"I Agree" Lee couldn't risk it either, his father wouldn't be happy As they tiptoe back to the kitchen, they saw the maids coming out in gro

Abigail, you're the selfish one, you couldn't do a little thing for me" James said as he walked close to the bed and sat on it"I wonder what mum would do once she comes home and finds out about what you did today" "James... Please, I know you care so much about me" Abigail cried"Save that crap for someone else," James said as he stood up and headed for the door"Wait!" Abigail said "What can I do to make things right," Abigail asked as she cleaned the tears rolling down her cheeks. And just then, Mrs. Darius stormed into the room"Abigail! You brat" She said in a rage"Mother!" James called"Maria, told me how you tried to escape, I haven't been go

Mrs. Darius said. And soon after they got to the hospital, the nurses and doctors already knew them, so they was no need for any discussion or questions, they went straight into their family doctor's office"Welcome, Mrs. Darius and you came with your beautiful daughter," The doctor said and immediately offered them a sit"Thank you!" Mrs. Darius said and cleared her throat"Doc. We're back and my daughter here is so sorry for her actions the last time you both met" She added and turned to face Abigail, she signaled her daughter to apologize to the doctor."Doc..... Em...

Alex called"Yes, dear" Mr Xavier replied"Thank you so much for bringing me out of the life I was living, thank you for sending Mr. Kim to look for me," Alex said"I can't imagine where I would have been now. Maybe sweeping or cleaning one big industry because even with my result, it would have been very hard for me to find a job" Alex added and as the memory of his parents flashed in his mind, he quickly ignored it because he didn't want to remember all that they went through together"I'm equally happy that Mr. Kim could find you, and he brought you to me," Mr. Xavier said as they entered t

Lee has been meaning to tell him "You got the looks, the hair, the face, and talk of your eyes! James has none, and now it makes a lot of sense why he distastes you so much in college""Yeah, right" Alex agreed, remembering the moment James spat on his face and told him that without money, one is nothing, even with looks, if you're poor, your look becomes poor too"Hey, cheer up, James has nothing compared to what you have now," Lee said as they both walked into the acting sector of the industry"Welcome, Mr. Alexander" Alex was startled, he couldn't comprehend how this elderly woman knew him, the woman saw his bewildered expression and said"You've been on the news, young man.
