She called in surprise as tears ran down her bonus cheek.

“Tricia? It's been a while,I'm so sorry for the accident and I'm grateful you weren't brusied.”

Earlier in the morning, Maryanne, already sent him the doctor's report for Alex, Andrew, was greatly moved seeing the boy has such problem. He felt his mind going out of place.He sat still, looking at the bunch of papers on his desk while he thought of how much pain Alex, might be going through. He hated himself for not knowing so much about that. He believed to have loved his wife and cared for his son, working endlessly to give them a life, but, he never knew his son has such chronic sickness.“Maybe, I was really wrong. I was wrong big time.”He said to himself, running his hands roughly through his hair.He stood and stared at the window, before staring back at his phone to see the report.He began, thinking of ways to compensate Alex, of not Maryanne, because, even Maryanne, had done him wrong too. He thought of getting Alex, to live with him, while he takes care of everything, but,that did

    “Sir, welcome!” Tricia, quickly, greeted immediately, Andrew, came inside. He waved at her and retired to his room, while Tricia, set the dining table. In the room, Andrew, sat under the shower for an hour and half wondering about the nasty things going on in his life. He seem to be too nice to these people and the earliest he deals with them the better for him. He wouldn't allow Sylvester, nor his father bother him so much, so, he waved their thoughts away and wore his clothes moving straight to the dining table. “Life is comfortable here I can sense it.” Tricia, mentioned and Andrew, smiled inwardly while Sir LED, nodded. “Are you okay sir?” she asked in great concern “Yes!” he answered and dished the pasta into his plate and Tricia,smiled. “I may not know how to cook delicious food like yours, but, I tried my best I hope you like it.” She said, gracefully with reverence in her tone and Sir LED, smiled. It's being great having someone like Tricia, around him, especially in t

    Andrew, blew the smoke straight into her face and Maryanne, struggled to cough out the toxic smell she has inhaled.“Isn't that you Andrew? Please have mercy and save me.”Tears dropped down her eyes and Andrew, was surprised. All the years he has been with Maryanne, he bet to have never seen her shed a tear. A real tear maybe, she is faking it again. But, that's not his concern, because, he won't let her rule his heart anymore.“Remove the blindfold.”He commanded and one of the men, standing beside him, took the blindfold away from Maryannne eyes and she looked around in surprise the place she was, is a very different area with the temperature different from what she is used to.“Andrew!” she called again, this time really disappointed, she couldn't believe it was really Andrew, and he kept her mute all along without trying to save her.“Save your thoughts. You have to save yourself the stress of thinking much. I will rescue you from these people if you provide them the information

    Andrew, drove quietly through their way home as the news kept ringing that he had kidnapped his cook. He was so angry that he drove the car at high speed. “Slow down a bit sir.” Gapore, interfered and Andrew, smirked bitterly. He didn't think there's anything to do anymore, it felt like he should shut the mouth of all the people giving fake news. But, if he tries to talk them into money, they will think he is truly guilty. “Sir, may I say something?” Gapore, asked and Andrew, asked him to go ahead. “Sir, I'm not convinced lady Maryanne, has a hand in this crime. She has…” “You do not know how well i know Maryanne, she might be hiding a lot of things. But, either way, if she isn't a part of this crime, she is connected to it and that means, she will suffer a bit even though, she isn't the mastermind behind this crime.” He spoke and paused. Gave a deep smile then continued. “She was after all involved and after now, she will run far away from me.” “Mr. Mayonnaise, can be playin

    “Andrew, how miserable do you want Maryanne and Alex,to be before you support them? What are you doing in my mansion isn't your wife and son in the hospital?”Mr. Marvin, walked down majestically, asking those questions to Andrew.“Hospital huh? Wife? Ohh goodness! I do not have a son in this life time.”“Let's forget these old stories and stop going around matters like little children. What brought you here? Hope Alex, is doing great?”Mr. Marvin, questioned Andrew, who stared daggers at him. It annonyed him to what extent Mr. Marvin,is faking this. It is so tempting to his spirit, because, he would pick up a gun and kill the damn man.“Why pretend like you don't know? Why did you choose to do something as cheap as this?” He questioned him and Mr. Marvin, was taken aback. He couldn't place a finger to anything he is talking about.“Pearl, did you welcome him with liquor?”“I didn't. I can't stand a dog as he.” Pearl, insulted and Andrew balled his fist.“You liars!

    “Tricia! Here is what your negligence has caused.”Mrs. Kate, spoke harshly to her and showed her the vidoe in the phone. She quickly grabbed it and saw for herself what is trending on social media about her. Gapore, came to the scene too and everyone, stood in uttermost ewe.“No mother, I didn't do this Andrew, I can never do such a evil to my husband.”She explained after seeing the video where she had to respond back to Angela. Angela, not only turned the table against her by providing fake evidence that she has shot Andrew, instead, she had turned the whole city against her and according to the newscaster, it might just affect the Pablo's business name.
