James asked his brow raise in irritation."yes, I'm lost" "Mum told you to do something to help, just help me to be the heir instead you went your way""huh""Mum told you to give the doctor what he wants, isn't it for just a day? Just tell him to have his way so he can fabricate the result but you didn't!" "How dare you say that? don't you care about your sister's dignity?" "What dignity? If it's all those useless boyfriends you hang around with wouldn't you have allowed them to?" "I can't believe you are saying this" tears trickle down her face"you could have done it. It was just for some time, think about it if I become the heir who would enjoy it after me? It's you! you, not even our parents will enjoy what you will enjoy yet just do a s

She was losing so much weight from not eating like those of Victoria's Secret models with anorexia.

Mrs. Darius takes the backpack from her daughter and looks inside it, she sees the clothes stuffed against each other and shoes by the side.She takes them out one by one with a look of disgust on her face, barely holding the clothes as if they were some taboo, or they were smeared with a mixture of blood and feces and had a bad stench."Maria told me you were packing up some clothes into a backpack, don't take me for a fool Abigail Darius, after refusing to play your part in helping your brother take his rightful place as the Grandpa Xavier's successor in the family business, you want to run away, run to where young lady as if you can survive without the family bankrolling your extravagant lifestyle."Abigail drops to the floor and weeps profusely, cussing her mother out. "Language young lady, I am still your mother, hope you haven't forgotten," Says Mrs. Darius. "Maria, my phone," Mrs. Darius says to the old chubby Hispanic maid.

"No problem Lee, but I'm not really that great, you know, I don't know if your father had told you, but I'm a medicine and surgery grad, there was no time really for extracurricular activities, to talk more about taking up sports," Alex says to Lee."But wait a minute, didn't Dad say you went to Rift Valley on scholarship?" Asked Lee. Alex does not even wait for Lee to finish asking his question before butting in his reply, "Yes, I did go to Rift Valley on scholarship as my dad could not afford the tuition fee and other expenses to put me through college, with his meager janitor salary. So you see Lee, I had to get a scholarship, but I was not the athletic kind like my mates, so I couldn't apply for a sports scholarship, I didn't really play any sports in high school, so I opted for an academic scholarship, I've always been good with Anatomical sciences, neurology, and neuroscience, and that was the scholarship I got to go to Rift Valley to study Medicine and Surgery.

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

On turning to her brother, she believes he understands her, and he wouldn't scold her like their mother so all anger was instantly calm"James..." tears stream down her eyes"Clean does crocodile tears of yours, you disappointed me, I expected more from you""James, you're being selfish, think about how I feel for once," She said"No... 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
