*** *** ***Hayley strapped her baby on her chest, packing her bags. She can't stay here anymore, not with Ryan going all AWOL and her father being scared of him.Her heart skipped when it beeped, then she visibly relaxed when she saw the message wasn't from John. It was a message from Clyde and he just sent her, her ticket.No one was home now, she had sent all of them on an errand. As a new mother, they were all willing to do her biddings, which made everything perfect.She finished packing quickly, going only with her essentials.She closed the box and placed it by her door, then sat down to write few notes, one for her father, one for her, another for Zara and most importantly for John."Dear John" she wrote."When you get this letter, I would probably be long gone. First off, I'm going to start with how much I am sorry and I love you. You are literally the best and your future wife will be so lucky to have you. I'm sorry I have to go but I don't think I can bear it anymore, also
*** *** "Get the best lawyer you can get your hands on and have Olivia released on bail." Ryan ordered Asher. "What if they don't accept?"Ryan frowns at him, "What part of get the best lawyer do you not understand??""But how can they get bail without....""Thomas Jnr dropped the charges. That should be enough.""Okay..." Asher nods. Adams had came home that night feeling dejected and unhappy. He had kept on rambling on about how he was deceived by the family and now he was never going to work for them.Asher wished you he could ease his brother's worry but as crazy as it may sound, his loyalty goes to Ryan first, besides, he can't have his brother know about what he did. "You dropped my number as family in the hospital." Asher stated.Ryan barely glanced at him."I got a call from them" Asher added when he got no response."What did they say?" "Olivia is out of danger and should be awake anytime soon.""That's great, have her bailed out. She at least deserves that news. She's
*** ***"Why?" Aiya asks in her robotic voice, "I missed you.""Just for today, Aiya. I'll be back."Ryan lays Alex on the worn out breath and did a quick check up, he could see Alex's organs were failing him. He could die anytime soon. "Get me the medic tools.""Where?!" Asher asks, confused."Behind that cupboard." Ryan pointed outAsher rushed towards it and brought it out, handing it over to Ryan.Ryan opened it and brought out long acupuncture needles, putting it in certain places in Alex's body.Ryan writes a list of herbal leaves on a piece of paper, "Go behind this place, you'll get everything you need!"Asher stares at the paper confusedly, "I.. how do I know which to pluck. I know nothing about this one things."Ryan snatches the paper from Asher and proceeds to go outside."If you notice any change at all, call me! I'll be just behind this place."Asher nods and went to stand over Alex who is taking in short, ragged, painful breaths."Ryan got the leaves he needed quickly
*** *** ***Olivia opens her eyes gradually, trying to make sense of her environment. She notices she wasn't hand cuffed to the bed like the first time she woke up and she's still in the hospital, she notices. She opens her eyes fully with a smile, her plan worked! She did it!! She is finally free."Hello there." A nurse peered at her, "I see you are finally awake. How are you feeling?""I feel good." Olivia rasped out. "I need to call my parents to pay the hospital bills.""We've tried reaching out to your parents but they are not in the country presently but rest assured, your bills have been paid.""Really? By who?""A man, he said he is your brother. He also helped you do away with the police officers offering over you. They were really reluctant to leave here."" My brother??"Yes your brother. You must have a fine gentle man." "You didn't see him?""No.. I didn't. But he should come in today."Great!Olivia frowned, wondering who might be disguising as her brother. It could b
*** *** Justin hears the clucking of a gun and the next second, it's noose was kissing the back of his head. Justin swallowed loudly, "I wasn't with my phone when you called and it was on silent. I'm sorry." "Really, should test that?" Mr Anonymous asks.Justin nods, he hated he couldn't see the person he is talking to and he is in darkness. "Where's your phone?""Inside." Justin replied. Mr Anonymous places the car, a smirk on his face. "If my men so much as hears a noise, I'll take it you can't be trusted anymore."Justin nods, there was no way they are going to find out, not when the phone is with him and really on silent. The only problem now was, Zelda shouldn't make a fvcking sound.Mr Anonymous hated that Justin was calm and isn't squirming like he used to. He hates the sudden boldness, now he couldn't play with his favourite toy for long anymore."You're lucky!" Mr Anonymous said, ", Now back to business.""Yes sir." Justin squirmed.Mr Anonymous wore a big smile, perhaps
*** *** ***It was the day to finally meet his parents and yet, he has no culprit in mind, except Justin. Was it only Justin he was going to tell his parents he found. He promised them to start when he is ready and but with him now focusing on the task, they must be thinking he took everything as a joke.He allowed himself to get caught up in other things, there's no excuse for that, especially with the Bruce family.Ryan shakes his head at himself in the bathroom mirror, he doesn't deserve to dress well to his parents as a means of punishment.He and Alina were back to their silent treatment and all, he can feel she's mad at him, but he can't be too bothered about it, not with the things he has on mind.He took his phone and head out of the house, the second Alina answered an incoming call.He could allow himself the luxury of taking the bus but he doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve anything good.He put his phone on silent, he doesn't need any disturbance from Asher, especially
*** *** ***Alex enters his company, feeling on top on the world. He wouldn't let that low life words get to him."Where are you coming from?" Mr Morbian asks, Alex enters his office and meets his father there, sitting cross legged."A trip to death land!" He snapped at his father, "I can't believe you wanted be brain dead.""What good is it to have a child to barely listens to me. You're better off as dead.""Sorry dad, but I am here to stay." Alex glared at his father."Thanks to your nonchalancy, the company lost the contract. I invited them over and we lost the contract to another company.""And you want to blame for that?""Who else am I to blame? Me? You had a job and it was to get the contract which you lost?""I fell sick father!!! Shouldn't you have an ounce of sympathy for me?!""Did I put that sickness in you? Did I ask for to be that way? All I asked for was a son who would listen to me.""Why don't you find another son to do your biddings?!""Why else do I need your sper
*** *** ***Alina notices Ryan didn't come home either. She wondered by Hayley's mother asked for his number. Or was he on some kind of trouble? She had called Zelda's a million times but her wasn't going, she couldn't help but being worried. She just waited with bated breath for some kind of news.As she walked by the road, heading to the noodles shop down the road, she notices the restaurant she once went to for job has closed down and in it's place laid a boutique.She frowned at it in surprise. How could it have shut down, it had so much potential and it's doesn't seem like one that would shut down anytime soon."Hey!" Someone popped behind her.Alina jumped in surprise, "goodness!!""Scared you?" Eleanor grinned."Don't you have work?""I do. It's Grandpa's, I can leave anytime.""Still, you shouldn't take it for granted!" Alina said, here she was searching for job up and down and Eleanor is taking hers for granted."Durhhhh." Eleanor rolled her eyes."Why are you here?!""Where
