“ Did you get anything on that lunatic? ”.

“of course, I have my ways, when are we receiving the narcotics you promised? ”.

“ It is getting shipped in today, you will be able to receive it by the end of tomorrow”.

    Dinner did not go as Emily had planned, Lisa had a frown spread across her face and could not wait to leave there. Seeing the intense air around the dining room, Collins cracked his throat, and seeing that he had all their attention, he spoke. “I am so glad to be able to be here with my family again, I did not realize what a blessing it was until I almost lost my life, And Harry, I am so grateful for your help and promise to pay back as soon as I can”“Collins dear, I told you that you do not need to pay him, he owes us more than that if we were to go into some calculation from the time he got married to Lisa”“ Mother! You do not realize the gravity of what he did for me, those men were pretty dangerous, and believe me when I say I would have lost my life, thanks man, after today, you earned my respect”“I did for Lisa” Harry replied with a smile. “I know, I see how much you love her, if only she loved you half as you do”“I do and he knows that” Lisa replied, cutting through his

Lisa's face had become pale, her hands were trembling and her breath became shallow, she felt lost, adrift in a sea of confusion. “No! It can't be! Harry would never do such a thing, this is a prank” She finally spoke after standing there for what felt like forever, and just then, Emily's phone rang again. “Hello… Grandma” Emily managed to speak with her voice trembling. “I want to see you and Lisa at Charles's house this minute” Grandma Maria spoke in a sad but authoritative tone and immediately ended the call. “Lisa, it seems like you won't be having that party at the office today, let go” Emily grabbed her bag that was lying on the couch while she waited for Harry, picked up her car keys from the glass table, an

    Inside the empty office where Lisa had previously had a conversation with Harry was Williams sitting opposite Harry and their voice was as low as it could be. “What is going on at the office?”“I told the board that you were at a business meeting and just a few hours after I got the news of your arrest, Mr. Paulos was at the office wanting to buy our company's share”“But I still do not think that is the reason they would murder Lilly”“It could have been an accident and they thought you were the best candidate to frame this on”“Which beats me back to my question which is why, I mean Charles is fully aware and knows how dangerous I could be, but he was bold enough to frame me”“That is because he believes that since you want your identity hidden, you wouldn't go through so much fuss as use your connection”.“I see... ” Harry replies nonchalantly. “Make sure that Mr. Paulos doesn't get his hands on any of our shares and then find out what happened to Lilly”“That will be very diffic

They had just concluded the funeral rite of Lilly and her unborn child since all investigations had been concluded and autopsy results confirmed. Lisa sat close to her mother Emily, her eyes swollen with dark circles around them and it was the same thing for Sophia or Olivia and Grandma Maria was barely holding onto her sanity. “Now that the funeral is over, I think that it is time to move on” Grandma began to speak after so many hours of silence and tears. “Move on you say, I won't move on until I am sure that Harry has been put behind bars”. Sophia cried out. “All investigation has been concluded, the court will be giving their final judgment tomorrow and I believe that it will be in our favor”.

She parked her car in front of the precinct and hurried inside, but the cops were gathered in front of Harry's cell including Gilbert and Willaims. A dark air surrounded the cell room as a corpse that was carefully covered was been carried out of there by two cops who had their mouths and hands covered. Lisa needed no one to tell her that something was wrong and she surged out into the cell searching for Harry. “Lisa! Why are you here?”. Williams widened his eyes at her presence. “Where is Harry?” Her eyes scanned around with anxiousness. “Take her outside” He commanded Gilbert who held her hand but she immediately pulled away. “Where the hell is Harry, I need to see him”“You need to calm down and let's talk outside”“I am not talking to you, I just want to see Harry”“He is dead!” Detective Gil

    Lisa stared at Olivia in disbelief, her thoughts finally running wild as realization curled up her face. “You knew about this?” Lisa asked but she remained silent. “Tell me that it is not true, you were close to him, so go ahead and tell them that Harry and Mr. Hardy are two different people”. Lisa cried out but Olivia wasn't sure what to say, the truth was already out and she could not hide it neither could she admit it. “I am sorry Lisa, but I met him under different circumstances as Hardy because he wasn't aware that we were related but then I found, and up till today, I am not sure why he concealed his identity”With Lisa's heart pounding in her chest, she felt as if everything she held dear had been taken away, all she could think of was ending it all, escaping the pain and despair she felt. The weight of her sorrow was crushing on her and there was no way out, every breath felt like a burden and the man she shared so much intimacy with was gone, and yet she knew nothing abo

    Lisa felt her heart melt seeing Harry in a state that she had never seen him before and all she could do was tap his shoulder gently in an attempt to console him while he quickly wiped away his tears. “No amount of apologies will take away the pain that you had to go through while you had a father who could have made life easy for you, I am so sorry that I put you through so much pain and now I am paying gravely for my transgression”“It's alright, you do not have to keep beating yourself about this, I know you have paid gravely for your wrongdoings, and it is enough, now is the time that you finally find peace ”“Yes, being able to be on good terms with you again in this lifetime is enough peace for me.

    Williams was able to book with a specialist in Chicago and a date of appointment was fixed. Harry alongside Lisa went over to visit Jeff as they knocked on his door. After he had gone bankrupt, he sold most of his properties which included his mansion, and had to buy off a small apartment on the outskirts of town. Harry and Lisa both stood outside for a while staring at the environment, although the house was small it was decorated with flowers that helped beautify the home. “Looks like he found himself a hobby after retirement” Lisa teased seeing how well the plants and flowers were taken care of. His garden lacked no plants at all from tomatoes, peppers, apples, and berries down to large trees that provided fruits and also farm works like cucumber which made life easy for him. “I guess he lost all his friends when he lost his wealth and had to find himself another kind of companion he had to hold onto” Harry commented as he walked closer to the garden, he plunged a piece of tomat

They both sat in the waiting area and seeing how nervous she was, Harry held her hand gently. ““Lisa and the dead man that rose again” Eric teased as soon as he stepped in with a disdainful smile that made the pit of Lisa’s stomach curled up in anger. “You know, I should have listened to Charles when I visited him and he kept telling me you were alive and haunting him, I thought that he had gone crazy because this place could make you insane but looks like he was right”He expressed that as he tried to sit down with a cuff around his wrist, Lisa immediately punched him hard in the face and blood began dripping from his nose. “How dare you son of a bitch still have the ability to smile after everything that you have done, how do you even manage to sleep at n

Otherwise, I will be forced to call security to drag you away!! ” He roared at the top of his voice, his eyes filled with fury as Jeff walked away.
