CHAPTER 1 Ryan was busy cleaning the centre table in the living room when Alicia emerged from her bedroom. He was in an apron and could be seen sweating profusely despite the full blast of the air conditioner. Alicia frowned her face when she saw him in the living room. “Where is my sister?'' She asked angrily ‘‘Oh you mean my wife, she has…'' ‘‘Don't you ever ever regard her as your wife'' Alicia cut him short even before he could complete his response ‘‘I'm sorry ma'am, your sister has gone out with her friends.” Ryan hung his head low and mumbled. Now are you done cooking lunch?" Alicia asked, still angry. “It will be ready in a few minutes, I will serve it as soon as it's ready" Ryan replied in a shaky voice wiping a drip of sweat off his forehead with his thumb. “Better hurry up," Alicia said arrogantly as she climbed the stairs back to her bedroom. Ryan stared at her back view and wondered when he was going to get out of this mess. He doesn’t even know his origin. …….
THE IMPORTANT INFORMATIONRyan was in his room having his meal while checking his phone at the same time.He had just received a text from Madam Rosemary telling him that she had a business meeting early in the morning and needed him to drive her to the location very early the next day.Ryan was contemplating how he was going to leave the house very early the next day, knowing that he had to prepare some breakfast for Mrs. Anderson so she would be able to take her drugs.A part of him told him to just focus on his job and forget about Mrs. Anderson but his conscience would not allow him.After finally deciding on what to do, he dropped his phone and focused on his food.A few hours later, Ryan was sitting behind his laptop trying to finish a model for his course when he got a call on his mobile phone.Looking at the phone screen, he saw that it was Mrs. Anderson who was calling.Ryan figured out the woman had an emergency and needed help and quickly stood up as he answered the call an
PLANNING AND PLOTTINGRyan finished his cooking inside. He dished out some food for himself and Mrs. Anderson, put them both on a tray and walked out of the kitchen.He made sure that there was no food left in the kitchen that could be okay for the Anderson sisters. With a grin on his face, he walked out of the kitchen with the large serving tray. He walked right into his room, dropped his food on his study table, walked out again with the tray, and headed for Mrs. Anderson’s room. He knocked on the door once he got there, and upon getting approval from Mrs Anderson, he quickly walked in.Mrs. Anderson was sitting at the edge of her bed, staring at the wall moodily.Ryan saw it but he ignored it and acted as though he did not see it.He just served Mrs. Anderson her meal, made sure she was okay and left.Ryan went into his room to enjoy his meal.Back in the living Geraldine’s room, Alicia, Geraldine, and Adriana were all contemplating their next move. They had already ordered food

She sat on a couch opposite Ryan and heaved a heavy sigh." Alicia and Adriana, are they back yet?" She asked as she sat down.Ryan shook his head in the negative."

CHAPTER 17Ryan sat on the bed with a smile on his face.He laid his back on the bed and heaved a sigh.His mind wandered in dreamland, thinking about the job he was soon going to acquire.As he lay there thinking, his phone beeped, and the doorbell rang at the same time.He took his phone and viewed the message, it was from the delivery man " I've arrived sir".Ryan wore his sandals and went out of his room.He jogged down the stairs as he hurried out.Getting to the living room, he saw that the Williams sisters were not in the living room. Instead, the leftover food in their packs were left on the center table in the living room.He shook his head and left the living room and out of the compound.The delivery man was ready at the gate with the pack of food in his hand.

CHAPTER 16Ryan unconsciously fell asleep on the bed in his smile. He was woken up a few minutes later by the sound of the doorbell. He woke up, picked up his phone, and glanced at the time. It had been 23 minutes since he had slept .He guessed the doorbell might have been that of the delivery man who was supposed to deliver the food for the Williams sisters.“ They will go get him. ” He said as he laid back on the bed. He took his phone again and realized he still had an unread message.He opened it, and it was a credit alert of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) to his old account.The creditor was ROSELYN CHUKS, and it had an additional message ‘ Thank you for helping me with my car the other day’Ryan jerked up and sat up on the bed.He glanced at the phone screen in shock." whoah, I ain't dreaming right."
