ANNIVERSARY AFTERMATH-- WHERE IS LOUISAFor fear of getting rejected by the heir, she needed not talk to anybody at the moment.At least till the end of this ceremony or maybe after she had finished her mission.Grandma was seated in her luxurious chair still eager to hear the arrival of the would-be heir of the Brooks family.She was looking around when she chanced upon Williams standing beside Louisa and speaking to her.She frowned“ What is he doing with her at this time? " She asked herself.For fear that the expected guest might enter at the same time these two would be in each other's company. Maybe the heir would think Louisa was a cheap slut or something. Hence her frownShe couldn't let all her carefully laid out plans go down the drain just because of Williams.At least, having dealt with Reuben's trouble was enough to handle for the dayShe was about to order one of her guards to go alert Louisa when she saw her (Louisa) walking away from Williams who wore a frustrated loo

There was a tone of urgency in her voice. At first grandma was angry at her but on a second note she was relieved on hearing her voice again and knowing that she was safe“ I'll be waiting, ” Grandma replied.“ Thanks, I will be there in thirty minutes” Louisa said and dropped the call.Twenty five minutes later, Louisa drove into the apartment of grandma.She quickly rushed into Grandma's suite to find her subtly waiting for her.She looked unkempt and her face was not as bright as she used to be.“ I'm sorry Grandma, I want to speak to you for a moment but pls can you send your guards away from the door” Louisa

THIS SHOULD BE OUR DEEPEST SECRET“ What!! What am I doing in your hotel room? What happened to me? How did I get here?” She shouted at Williams with a confused face.Williams kept on smiling “ Easy.. easy . One question at a time.First of all. You got here with me. You came with me last.And we enjoyed ourselves very well right. I guess we burnt a lot calories to be honest.But wait. Are you trying to tell me that you don't remember anything? ” Williams asked feigning surprise.Louisa went numb. She needed so soothsayer to tell her what had happened.Williams has had his way with her.She buried her face on her palm in utter regret.“ How on earth did I get here? How on earth did this happen? Was I too drunk? I only took two glasses of wine. Or was I drugged?Oh no what have I done? ” she questioned herself.She looked Reuben who was smiling.Looked around and saw her dress on the floor.At this point she broke into tears.Williams saw her cry and quickly tried to console her. But

KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. HE WOULD BE PUNISHEDNo other man on this earth should hear of this. ” Grandma said.Louisa nodded in affirmation to all she said.She stood and sat beside grandma. Silence engulfed the room again. After about 10 minutes of Silence in the room and knock came on the doorLouisa quickly distanced herself from the misfortune and sat on the couch opposite her. She had stopped crying and her tears were dried up.After checking that everything was alright in the room, Grandma feebly asked." Who is there?" She enquired." It's Robert ma'am " the reply came.Louisa stood up after grandma nodded in affirmation for her to go open the door.She opened the door and it was the guard whom grandma sent to go investigate about Reuben's profile the previous day. " Good morning ma'am. You sent me on an errand and I'm here with the report." Robert said as he walked in and stood in front of Grandma.He stood in full attention waiting to be ordered to go on." So Louisa, the reason

THE CAREFULLY LAID PLAN AND A NEW DELIVERY CAPTAIN Grandma and louisa sat in the room for a few minutes more before she finally left.Louisa drove out of Grandma's house after bidding her farewell. She drove straight at low speed to her house.On her way, she branched at a pharmacy to get an effective contraceptive.On reaching home,she sank in an armchair and began to ponder on what Williams had done.She was teary eyed as she sat lazily in the chair.Williams had caused him so much pain and she had lost her pride. Maybe not known by everybody but to herself, she was not whole.The whole family would be against her if the family is ruined because of her. And the family would only be ruined when Williams released those videos online." Thank God I have someone who still likes me. I would have been dead by now" She thought.She then began pondering on Grandma's words.This was surely a grave secret to keep.No one needed to remind her to keep her mouth shut about this whole issue.

I HAVE HIM IN MY DEN NOWLouisa walked into Grandma's study breathing heavily as if she was being chased by someone.Grandma quickly stood up on seeing her in that manner." What is going on? Who is chasing you?" She asked looking at her gate to see if someone else would barge in after Louisa." I'm not being chased, Grandma. Just that I am shocked."Louisa replied after gaining composure" And what makes you shocked to the extent of you running around?" Grandma asked with a raised eyebrow." Well you remember the message I sent you some few minutes ago about…" Louisa paused and looked around her. She wanted to confirm if there were no guards around to listen to their conversation. After being sure there was no one, she continued."... the message I sent you about Reuben. Right after that I ordered food online after taking the contraceptives.I was not in the mood to cook then so that was the only option.When the delivery man arrived, it was none else than Reuben" Louisa said in a

As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said.

Three policemen walked in with one other man. The man without a uniform came forward. He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we

Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

Is this what your plan led us to? In prison?" Louisa screamed out to Jakes when they were arrested.All she got was a caution from the police to keep her mouth shut, with the addition that whatever she said at that time could be used against her in the court.Louisa knew that was the end.They had been caught in the act, and she was sure that the boys were going to confess that Jakes was their leader.She was caught with Jakes at the same time at that scene,

Excuse me ma'am, there is a parcel for you," the guard said as soon as he walked in." Who is it from?" Grabdma asked " There is no sender's address, only the delivery address, and that is here." The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery. Instead, he opened the envelope to see the contents.The envelope contained a single sheet.She took out the paper and read the contents of the paper."

" What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.

So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
