“What are you doing here again?“ Mrs Laurette asked. As she watched Mr Oliver stutter.“I—uh—i can't,”“You can't do what?“ Mrs Laurette folded her arms, while Amber watched both of them.“I can't live without you, I'm sorry, I keep messing up, and I'm not going to assure you that I'll magically change and be perfect for you. But, I need you to be patient with me, like you always have been. I love you, and I'm not ready to lose you, please,” Mr Oliver pleaded, getting on his knees.As soon as Mr Oliver got on his knees, Doctor Trevor walked up to them, he stood in front of Mr Oliver. “Can you please excuse me,” The doctor said to Mr Oliver who was kneeling by the door. Mrs Laurette covered her mouth, holding back her laugh because Mr Oliver would have to move on his knees, or he would have to get up and move.Mr Oliver looked up at Mrs Laurette. Mrs Laurette's palm was still pressed to her lips. Amber on the other hand couldn't hold in her laugh. She laughed out loud, drawing Mr Oliv
“I think I have a place,” he said.Talia was about to go with him, but she paused on her track, realizing that he also couldn't be trusted. Going with him could be a bad idea, but staying here also was riskier than trusting him.“Uhm, excuse me Sir,” Talia said, causing the man to pause on his track, slowly, he turned to face her.“What is it?“ He asked bluntly.“Sir, please I don't mean to be rude or ungrateful. But, where is it you're taking me?“ Talia asked.“How are you going to know where I'm taking you, when you clearly don't know your way around here, I'm sure this is your first time here, and clearly you don't even realize where you are. But it seems you're having trust issues. I'll be on my way then, if you choose to stay, you can go ahead and stay. I was only trying to help,” The man said.“Please, sir, I am sorry, you wouldn't blame me, I had just escaped from the hands of murderers, you wouldn't blame my action,” Talia explained.“Well, we better hurry, I'm sure whoever wa
“Shit,” Blake cursed under his breath.Hearing this, the Boss furrowed his brows, he turned to Blake.“What is he talking about?“ The Boss asked.“Th—the girl,” Blake stuttered.“What happened to the girl, did any of you kill her?“ The Boss asked as he was running out of patience, he needed to know What was really going on, The more Blake kept beating around the bush. The more The Boss was vetting angrier.“No we didn't,”“Then tell me Why is it going on?!“ The Boss yelled.“She escaped,” the guard Mumbled. Immediately, Theresa's father took out his pocket, he pointed it to the guard who had said she had escaped, pulling the trigger at him.“Bang!“ He fell to the floor. The Boss directed the gun to Blake, pointing it at him. Blake raised both his hands to the air.“Please calm down,” Blake pleaded.“Tell me What he just said is a lie, where is the girl?“ The Boss asked.“Please, put the gun down, let me explain,” Blake said as he began to tremble.“You want me to put down my gun, fin

What do you think would have happened if I had left you there,”“But you said you know a place I can hide,” Talia cutted in.“I said I know where you could hide, but I didn't say it was close by, I didn't say it was three feet away. Now will you be quiet,” Dannis said in annoyance.“I'm sorry,” Talia mumbled. As they both kept going.A few minutes later, Tal
“Dannis, is this telephone functioning?“ She asked. “What do you mean by functioning?“ Dannis teased.“Stop, I mean does it work?“ Talia asked.“Uhh, yeah, why?“ Dannis gave a questioning look.“I want to call my boss, he's the reason I was abducted by those men, and I need to warn him also, those men are after his life,” Talia grumbled.“How can you call him when you do not know his number?“ Dannis asked.“I do,” Talia said as she bent to pick up the telephone. She pressed some numbers as she waited for Wayne to pick up.WAYNE.Wayne was seated outside his porch. While Ruby and Theresa were still tied in. Wayne was outside on the look out when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.“You finally decided to call huh?“ Wayne scuffed, he thought it was Theresa's father who decided to call with him with an unknown number.Wayne answered the call, placing it on his right ear. His eyes flew open in bewilderment when he heard….“Sir, hello, Wayne, can you hear me?“ It was Talia. Wayne q
Talia ran inside, hiding herself in one of the rooms as she felt her heart beat rapidly.THERESA AND RUBY.“You know, I still can't believe that I stupidly trusted you, I expected you to be on my side, but what did you do? You open your filthy mouth, blurting rubbish out of it. It seems like you have forgotten what I told you, huh? Well let me remind you. Once this whole thing is over, I'll make sure I kill you personally, and maybe you can say hi go Crystal in hell,” Theresa threatened.“Wait!“ Fuby scuffed, blinking several times as she felt her tummy ache.“YmamAre you trying to tell me that you had a hand in Crystal's death, the former cashier, you brutally murdered her?“ Ruby asked as Theresa giggled.“How come you look so surprised. You don't think I am capable of handling that? Well, that's good for you, it will be fun watching you witness your own death, that way you'll learn not to run your mouth in your next lives to come,” Theresa said, Giggling again.“I'm sorry Theresa, w
I reached for the doorknob, opening the door to see who it was.“Kelvin what are you doing here?“ I asked, staring at my little brother, standing at the front porch.“Bro, I should be asking you the same question, how would you run out of everything? Tomorrow is our conference meeting, which you're meant to attend. Or do you want Uncle Smith to take over our company? You only have one job, one job to defend dad's sweat. And the only thing you could do was run away from everything?“ Kelvin huffed.“You make it sound like it's easy. What if they don't buy? afterall, I have been nothing but a loser to everyone since Laila passed away. And now suddenly, I should be a hero,” Dannis lamented.“You and I know that this is not about Father, this is really not about anyone but yourself. You're meant to prove to yourself that you are capable, Dad is gone, Laila is gone, and now, you want Dads Company, the only thing we have of him, you want everything to go, just like that?“ Kelvin grumbled.TA
MRS LAURETTE AND DOCTOR TREVOR.When Mrs Laurette noticed Mr Oliver had left. She turned to glance at the doctor. Looking away almost immediately their eyes met. She couldn't stand his gaze, not after what had conspired between both of them.“I hope I didn't ruin anything?“ Doctor Trevor asked.“No, not at all, in fact, you saved me lots of stress, I wasn't ready for his drama,” Mrs Laurette mumbled. Doctor Trevor smiled. “Atleast, that's good to hear, I am pleased to hear that I was of help, and not the other way around. Amber, how are you doing?” Doctor Trevor directed his attention to Amber. Amber nodded her head, while her focus was on hdr phone. The Doctor smirked, turning back to Mrs Laurette.“She seems to be receiving treatments properly, so in a few days, she will be released, and you both can return home,” Doctor Trevor said.“Wow, thank you so much, thank you for investing in my daughter's life, I'm sure that If you hadn't taken this case seriously, God knows what could ha
