It was Riya standing with her eyes red and wet with tears.He pulled her gently into the room and made her sit on the bed. He looked at her face but she moved her gaze away not sure of what to say to him."Riya, are you okay?"His voice was low but loud enough for her to hear.She blinked her eyes severally wiping the tear that was rolling down her chin.She had been blaming herself for not being able to talk Amelia out of the idea of going to search for her mother against her father's wish.She was imagining how Amelia would be roaming New York alone making herself pry to bad guys in the street."I should have stopped her, Maxwell. I knew she was making plans to go to find her mother but I took it too lightly. Too lightly and look now she's gone."Riya's voice was very low and weak. She broke into another round of shading tears while Maxwell stared at her in silence.He was trying to process how the situation at hand pointed to her as guilty but even her explanation did not grant him

Susan asked in a concerned manner but Kate did not respond.She sat on the couch with her two hands still holding head tightly and said to Susan."Where did she put everything?"Her voice was unusually very low, it sounded almost like a whisper and Susan could not get what she said immediately."What did you say, ma?"Susan was yet to finish asking when

Riya woke up to find that Maxwell was no longer on bed. She quickly jumped out of the bed and put on her clothes "why on earth did he not wake her up" She thought to herself.She was just about to run off from the room when Maxwell open the door. " Hey Riya" he called out softly. He notice the uneasy look on a face "Is everything okay, Riya? " He asked immediately"Yes, sure everything is okay just for how long have I been asleep? " Riya stuttered and asked. "You have been asleep for more than 2hours now I didn't want to wake you up" He replied. Riya could not believe it. "Why did you not wake me up?

The taxi dropped Maxwell in front of the old construction company which he recognized to be the same place where Harrison and the other guards had first brought him on the day that he was taken from his parent's house.He slowly began to take the route that Harrison instructed him to take without letting himself seen by anything or anyone neither was he going to leave a trail.As he entered from the back door into the building, he could hear footsteps from different directions of the building and flashes of light from different directions. Harrison never included in his descriptions that there was such high level of security in the old building. He hid himself behind the pillar when he heard footsteps coming from a close direction. The person had just walked pass with a flash when Maxwell immediately sighted that the person was coming from the direction of the same room where Ara was kept. He quickly rushed to the room and quietly unlocks the door with the key that Harrison had g
Kate left the building not sure of where she was going. She did not recognize the area where she was either.As ran she tirelessly down the road she came across a checkpoint Where a few police officers with standing." Please, help me sir" She said to one of them when she got close to where they were.The officer helped her to a seat before asking where she was coming from and who was after her.She was driven in the police car back to a parent's house in Sacramento.Kate thanked the officer before retiring into the building. Her mother could not believe the things that she had gone through." It's all your fault Mom. You forced me to marry Harry, Now look where it has landed me" She said blaming her old mother.Her mother weeped and pleaded with her to forgive her.

Karen sat on the couch in the living room She recalled how Carson could not kill her when he found out that she knew he was a killer.He had pressed the gun tightly on her head to the point that she felt like she was already dead All he needed to do was pull the trigger and end her But then he could not "Did he really love her that much? " She kept thinking about it for the past 2 days.The worst thing was that since Carson left that day he did not return home She had called him severally but he was not picking up his calls. She waited for him to call or text but he did not for two days.Maybe he has moved on "Yet again why will he move out of the house for her?

Maxwell raised his face to see the person who called his name, to his surprise it was Amelia standing among the crowds. He quickly stood up from the ground and rushed to her side"Amelia, Are you okay?" He said as he tried to catch his breath.Amelia moved away from him slowly and said."I should be asking you that. What are you doing here?" She questioned.Maxwell brushed his hand through his hair and replied "I came searching for you.
