Alina snaps.Ryan stood there, both of them studying each other.Olivia has a memory flash, to anyone and everyone, she's living a life befitting for a princess. No one knows what it was like to live in her house. It was night mares upon nightmares. Only Alex had an inkling of what she passed through and yet he used her as his scapegoat and did not bother coming to her rescue.She grew up knowing her mother had abandoned her here and was her father mistress.Her father, mad he couldn't have her mother for himself always yelled at her and didn't care she was being maltreated by his new wife.

He had a lot on injuries and broken bones. After admitting Alex on the hospital, Devin comes back to the office to finish the day's activities and file a complaint to the police. Mr Morbian enters the office, a smirk on his face. "Mr Morbian!" Devin stood in acknowledgment, "I was just about to lay a complaint to the police so they can find the culprit behind this." "Oh." Mr Morbian chuckled, "that wouldn't be necessary at all." "I'm sorry?" Devin needed to be sure he heard what he thinks he just heard correctly. "I said that would not be necessary at all."

The door creaked open, it sound resonating through out the building.Alina took few steps backwards as the stale air from the building hit her. The cleaning company she called arrived just in time.As they worked, Alina noted a few things..The so called restaurant is like a bar house where veterans came to recount stories, have a good laugh, coupled with a drink or two, and also play poker..For the first time in a while, Alina felt alive. She had a sense of purpose and responsibility, asides from Eleanor's hidden threat, she needed to prove her family wrong. A company without her would be missing out on so much."Hey..." Alina heard a new voice behind her, "I was told I'll find you here."Alina turned to see who it was"Olivia?" Alina asks, shock filling her features."Yeah, that's me." Olivia shrugs awkwardly. She knows Z

He turned on his television and waited for the new that will come on soon.Ten minutes later, the TV channel abruptly switched to News. Every channel was rushing to be the first to deliver the news. Ads popped up everywhere, announcing Asher's death."It's been brought to our notice." The reporter started, "That a Mr Asher Fotin, managing Director of the Nolvani company has been shot dead, along side his assailant on bus 3704, Johnson street.

He smirked, eyeing the picture of Alex on his desk. *** "Thank heavens, I've been starving
*** ***Alina needed no one to tell her that her husband is in the operation room.She got there in time to stop the securities that threatened to barge into the room."You can't go in there." She tells them, spreading her arms, he is a doctor and exactly who you need if you want your patient to survive.""We have professionals in there handling the situation, how can a mad man take charge?!" A nurse argues."My husband is not a mad man!" Alina fires back, "He is perfectly sane.""I doubt that. I saw him when he entered."Alina rolls her eyes and gives Adams a once over. He has the body at the build."Hey.!" She called him, "Are you a family of Asher?"Adams frowns at her, "Yes, and you are?""A friend. I need you to trust me and have these men back away.

Alina wanted to yell at him but she already disappeared.Ryan didn't go home that night nor the night after that.While Alina couldn't not get the kiss out of her head, she wanted more of it, more of him.He didn't creep her out the way Dr Thomas senior did and every other male. That is one of the reasons she doesn't want to leave him."I heard the CEO of Nolvani borrowed you some money?" Aunt Sasha entered their apartment.

Hayley giggled "and Clyde has been such a gentle man, I didn't know he has this side of him before."."When you get close to people, you see them or who they truly are." "Hmm..mmh."

"Is that human?"Ryan closes his eyes briefly and zips the bags,"Is that human?" Eleanor repeats again. "If that's what it seems it is then yes." Ryan replies, "It's been a while I saw you, how did you suddenly pop up here?""I'm looking for Asher, I didn't see him.
