“If you are expecting an apology from me Ryan, you are definitely not getting one”, Selena said nonchalantly.Spence smiled sardonically “I wasn't expecting one,I am just baffled on why?”“I despised you back then,for being everything I could never be,is that enough of a response?” “Yet you searched endlessly for me,was that out of guilt?” Spence taunted her.His gut instinct says Selena is hiding a lot more.He could only get her to talk if he could successfully taunt her.“Are you done? Reverse psychology is my stronghold young man,I need to take a nap,you know the way to the door Ryan”, Selena said and winked at him.Spence felt a bit pissed with her confidence despite her atrocity.At the time,he wasn't more than three years old, so leaving him in a cold alley was really dangerous.What if the grieving Mrs Wellington hadn't found him?He got up on his feet and walked out of the mansion with a heap of questions in his mind.Peter picked up his phone after ensuring Gabriella was ou

Chapter Sixty Eight: The Lost Sheep Returns
Bella winced slightly from a sharp pain she had felt at the upper part of her forehead which was plastered. She had thought she was to breath her last “thank God it was just a warning strike” she had heard Spence say when he visited her at the hospital the next day.A mere warning strike! That she almost lost consciousness, what an understatement it was to refer to that as a warning strike. It had been meant to put Ryan Hale in check; unfortunately, she was the victim of it.

Chapter Sixty Six: Unafraid
Maya winked at the prosecutor who scoffed in return, she turned to face the judge whose attention was drawn by the court clerk who was reading out the case file loudly, she looked down at her soiled fingernails which used to be well manicured and grief overtook her, she wondered desperately how her once supple skin must have paled, all thanks to her poor choice of mingling with a loser like Leonard Grey.She released the breath she was holding as memories of his physical abuse flashed through her eyes, he had really deserved the gruesome death he was granted, but by who? Here she was, waiting to be convicted for a crime she had nothing to do with. At that moment she cursed her ill luck.“Take the stand defendant”.She heard the word and rose to her feet, without objecting, she stood there fiddling with her fingers, her eyes met with the prosecutor`s who took pleasure in laying emphasis on the conclusive evidence that was found in his argument.

He settled and opened the files in front of him, he glanced through it to have a recap of what he had read in it, he was about to turn the microphone on and commence the meeting when Mr. Snape cut in.“We thought you had decided we don’t worth your time Mr. Hale”Spence stopped in his track and stared at the aged cunning man, he had a mockery smile on his lips that made up for his sarcastic remark.

Penelope had instructed the rest of their team to stay on a standby in the van and only went in with Gale so as not to draw too much attention and end up losing the suspects.Gale dodged in time before the hot water was thrown in his direction as the woman had prepared to, finding out she wasn’t successful, she dropped the bowl and attempted to run away through the window frame b
