"What happened to him?" James asked as he began to wipe the blood on Carson's body with a towel.He looked up at Karen and asked again "Who are you?" He asked.Karen was staring back at him but she didn't say a word in response. "Are you here with him or what?" He asked with a serious look on his face."I'm here with him and I am Karen, his girlfriend" she replied in a low voice.James nodded his head and asked in a rather suspicious voice "Who shot him?" He said as he tried to take out the bullet from Carson's shoulder."It was one of Wilson's guys. I don't know. Do you have an idea of the fight?" She asked peeping into his eyes.James smiled and said "You are just the way he describes you" He replied."What?" Karen asked wearing a puzzled look."I mean the way Carson describes you. He have told me many things about you but he never mentioned that he was coming over with you" He replied."Excuse me, who are you and why are you not going to take him to the hospital for proper treatme
"Kate.. Kate.." James called out her name trying to wake her up but she was not responding.He checked her temperature and realized that she was burning."Oh my God, l told you to rest" He lamented trying to push her up and carry her back to the room."What is the matter with her?" A deep voice said in a low toneJames flinched when he heard that. He slowly turned around to meet Carson sitting up on the couch where he was laid."Oh my God.. Why does everyone want to scare me to death tonight?" He exclaimed letting out a sigh.Carson scoffed and said "Perharps, it is you who is scared of something" He replied.James hissed loudly and moved over to his side, pulling him into a tight hug.It's been along time since he last met Carson in the house.They were not always around each other but every time the opportunity to meet themselves comes, James always like to make the best memories out of it.As for Carson, he never really cared so much about making memories or meeting people.He was
"Yes..my brother. The guy you met in this house" Carson asked in a low voice."You mean the guy who I met in this house, the doctor, he is your brother?" She asked in a low voice."Yeah... He didn't tell you that?" Carson asked in a low voice as they walked into the room together."No... He said he is your doctor not your brother" Karen replied in a low voice as she stared at him with surprise on her face."That's funny, maybe it's because he was not sure who you were" He said in a liw voice."Really? Is that enough reason to hide his relationship with you? Unless perhaps he his not proud to have you as his brother." Karen replied with a sense of judgment in her voice."Nope... That can never be James. It's me who should get that statement. He is proud to have me as a brother and he expresses that more often than I do." Carson replied in an assumed voice."Then what was they reason for such cheap lies" She asked in a look voice."Like i said, he was just being security conscious" Car
Riya paused at her question and went mute for a few seconds.ii"My uncle is not a very good person. As a matter of fact his daughter hates men because of him. She hates him more.He threatened to kill Maxwell's parent should he fail to produce him a male heir in time to come" She said.Mrs Bernard's look became rather dull as she glanced around the room in disbelief."How is this coming about then since you said your cousin who he is allegedly married to do not like to be around men." She asked with a puzzled look on her face. "Well, she..she...I do not even know how to explain this.She hated him very much until few days ago when she started asking me questions about him for the first time. I think she is beginning to like him and it will be so unfair if she finds out that I am already pregnant for him" Riya lamented in a sad voice. "Riya... No.. It was not your fault. It is never your fault. Maxwell likes you and it seems to me like he is in a lot of trouble himself." Mrs Bern
"Amelia" He asked with a surprised expression on his face.She stood before him wearing a nightie as he stared at her with surprised in his voice.He did not understand why she was there by his door at that time of the night but he could tell from the look on her face that she was not okay."What is the matter, Amelia. Are you alright?" He asked in a low voice as he stared at her wide eyed.Amelia who was holding the jacket of there nightie tightly over her body muttered in a low voice "Maxwell.. I can't sleep" She said in a low voice. Maxwell moved out of the door when she asked "Can I sleep in your room?". He was beyond shock to hear that coming from her and for the first time since he got to that house, she was actually asking something of him politely. "Yeah...come in.."He said moving out of the way gor her to enter. " What is wrong with you.. Are you feeling sick? "He asked in a low voice. She climbed up on the bed and sat with her legs folded together and for the first fiv
Maxwell could not explain how Riya suddenly appeared in the mansion.He tried to hide his shock but Matty seemed to have already noticed when she asked him in a low voice."You're surprised to see her, ain't you? ... I was also surprised when I saw her walk into the house at the early hour of the day.I had to ask her if she took a night bus" Matty said with a little sarcasm and they all smiled at her joke.Maxwell was very confused at the moment as he never expected to see Riya at the house that moment.He walked out of the door and closed it behind him.Riya stood staring at him as he came close to her "Hey.." He said searching her face with his."Is everything okay?" She asked him a low voice.Maxwell breathed in and said " Yes Riya.. Everything is fine except that.."He had not completed the sentence when Amelia suddenly opened the door and walked out in her nightie.She stood in shock when she saw Riya and Maxwell standing outside the door, she didn't know what to say as she sto
Maxwell stood staring at her in surprise when she said that.He did not know how to feel as he was not comfortable at all with the idea of going to meet with her bosses.Of all the things he expected to hear from her about the conversation the had his presence was the least.."Why... Why does she want me to come?" He asked her in a low voice as he stared at her in surprise."I think she wants to just see you and know who you are. Perhaps recognise you as the father of our unborn child and seek your permission before taking any decision" Riya explained in a calm voice.Maxwell was still feeling uncomfortable despite the response that Riya gave...he looked at her and moved his gaze away to the window. "I don't know but...what if they have other intentions?" He asked in a low voice. "Like what exactly?" She asked looking at him. He turned his face slowly to her again and said in a low voice "I really do not know but I not feel like it is a very good idea" He said in a calm voice. She
"How.. How did I hurt you, Amelia please talk to me. I'm your sister" Riya begged in a liw voice."You.. You're not my sister. You're not my sister at all. You're just like my father. A back stabber" She said in a loud voice.A cold wave ran through Riya's body immediately she heard that making her shiver as she listened to Amelia speak to her about her action which she already knew."You think I do not know that you are in a relationship with Maxwell?You think that I do not know that you two are in love.? You think I do not know that the both of you are just using me to get your goals? "Riya was in shock, she felt like the ground should open and swallow her up at that instant. She knew that her relationship with Maxwell was already danger since the day that Amelia indicated her interest in him but then she could bring herself to tell her about it. "Amelia.. I'm sorry.." She said slowly going down on her knees until her two knees touched the ground. "You're sorry.... After using
