*** *** ***"No dad!! You can't attend that meeting!!" Eleanor cried, trying to stop her father from going to the conference meeting that'll claim his life eventually.""It's okay dear, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it." Finn smiled, pinching his daughter's nose."You'll die if you go.""Come on El, you don't have to be so negative. When I'm coming I'll get your favourite popcorn.""No!" El cried, "That was how he died. He parked his car across the road and went to the other side to get her favourite."No, I don't need it." She says quickly, "don't buy it for me." She turns to her mother, pleading with her eyes to intercede for her."Honey. Don't worry, Daddy will be fine." Her mother said.El cries out, her voice filled with pain and anguish.Barely an hour later, everything began repeating itself again.Her mother got the phone call first, an ashen look on her face as she heard the news, then she carried Eleanor, strapped her in the back seat and on their way
*** *** ***Trish rushed into Jonas' apartment, darting furtive glances everywhere, making sure she wasn't being followed.She could crash at Jonas' place till she finds a solution to her predicament."What are you doing here?" Jonas asks her, muting the TV, "And why do you look like you are running away from someone?" "I'm in trouble." Trish breathed out, rushing to his side, "Big trouble."Jonas frowned at her, Trish was never the one to get in trouble, infact, she has never been in trouble. He studies her, her face was puffy, her eyes red and baggy, evidence of lack of sleep. Something was really wrong."I know you don't believe me, but I swear, it's more than you can imagine.""What's it?"",I tried selling off the headquarters since there was nothing special about it and it laid on ruins.""Okayyy...." Jonas frowned, not liking where her conversation was leading to.Trish blinked at him, taken aback, "huh... Are you not surprised or angry??"Jonas glared at her, trying to keep
*** *** ***Ryan stared at Alina, she was obviously avoiding his gaze. Since she came back from the hospital, she refused to tell him what led to her accident.Ryan gave her a cup of coffee, taking one for himself too."I heard you know Olivia too.""Olivia?" Alina echoed, confused for a second."Yeah, Olivia.""I remember her. We worked together in my family's Media company.""You do know she's in prison right?""Prison for?""Killing a Doctor Thomas." Ryan replied, watching Alina. He didn't know if she was pretending or she was really clueless about what happened."Are you serious?""She killed someone?""Does she strike like someone that can do it?""No." Alina shook her head, "What's your deal anyway, how do you know her?"Ryan shrugged, "call it fate.""Oh..." Alina nods. It's been days since she woke up from her weird sleep, she'd heard Eleanor's condition worsened day by day, for a moment, she wondered if Eleanor is having the same weird dream she had.If anyone had told her,
*** *** ***Thomas open an eye first, then the second. The knife had impaled the wall, just one inch away from him.He sighs in relief and turns to confront Ryan bit finds the room was empty, it was almost as if a ghost had visited him. The knife was the only proof that someone was in the office with him.Barely minutes after he settled down and reduces the volume of the music playing, cops barged into his office, followed by the Head of Diagnosticians. "What's going on?" Thomas asks, a bit confused."As of this minute, your license is in the process of being revoked." The Head of Diagnosticians said, glaring at him. "You are the least person I was expecting this from." "And you are under arrest Mr Thomas Jnr." A cop finished.Thomas noticed how his title was ripped off him instantly. The cop should call him Doctor, not Mister."I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on!" Thomas yelled indignantly, "What did I do so wrong?""You are under arrest for threatening you
*** *** ***"Are you saying you were scared of Ryan?" Grandma Joan finally addressed the issue at the dining table, days later, "that you had to back down?"Mrs Bruce cleared her throat and averted her gaze from Grandma Joan. "Go on,go on, say something." Grandma Joan continued, "You too Sasha, you were with her and yet you were just useless around her.""Grandma Joan." Sasha whined, "You should have seen Reaannnd. He was so scary!!" "And he scared you?""Yes grandma, I was scared. That eerie look still gives me goosebumps.""So if Alina wasn't going to live, both of you would have left her suffering on the bed?""Shouldn't we be grateful she is alive." Mrs Bruce muttered shyly, looking to her husband for help."Don't look at me like that, you know nothing I say is going to change anything," he mouthed at her.She sighed in response, Grandma Joan was the head of the family now and no one can go against her wish."Are you trying to go against me?" Grandma Joan said."No, I'm just say
*** *** ***"You little piece of shit!!" Hayley yelled, struggling against the rope that tied her to a chair in the middle of a big abandoned ware house. "Let me go""When Justin gets here, I'll think about." Ryan replied."My father?""Well, he's not my father, is he,?""If you hurt my father!!! If any happens to him!!"Ryan scoffs but doesn't say anything.Asher enters, carrying a bag of beverages long with him, including pizza."Has he noticed yet?" Ryan asks.",I did as you told. He is on about, looking for his child. It's only a matter of time before he gets here.""Are you sure he is taking the bait.?""Yes, I did everything so perfectly." Asher gushed, feeling proud of himself.Justin walks in on cue, frantic and scared. "Where is my daughter? Please don't hurt her!!""Daddy!!" Hayley yelled, catching the attention of her father, ""Hayley." Justin ran to her side in relief then he turned angry eyes on Ryan, "What is the meaning of this nonsense, what do you think you are doing
*** *** ***", Thanks for coming on such short notice." Jonas smirked, "Please have a seat." He gestures to the sofa opposite him.Adams stares at him warily but sat down, "if this is about the case. You should know I am trying my best on that and there wasn't much I could in the hospital.""Oh.. no no... I didn't call you here because of that." Jonas waved the topic away, "I called you here for something else entirely."Adams frowned at him, "what's that?""You see, my dear sister recently lost a huge amount of money.""Who? Tricia?""Sadly so.""And what do I do about that. She lost her money due to being careless, how does that affect me?" "That's where you come in." Jonas grinned, "The money was stolen from her and you are going to find the robbers and help us recover the money." He hands over a tape to Adams."That's everything you need to know about the case. Directly from the source.""I don't do cases like this. There's nothing challenging about this case. Anyone can do this.
*** *** ***"Calm down Grandma Joan, I'm sure she's not the one." Alina's mother pleaded. They had gone home immediately after Grandma Joan instructed Jeffery to take pictures."Don't ask me to keep calm Faithy!!" Grandma Joan yelled at the top of her lungs, "we were all here when she said she wants Javier's dead body for autopsy." "That's one of the reasons that led her to being out of the family, she wouldn't want to go against you." Alina's mum looked to Sasha for help."Your daughter was never predictable." Sasha scoffs, " I wouldn't put this past her."Alina's mother glared at Sasha in response, "Are you serious doing this?? Now?? You should be helping me here!!""This is serious, we are a talking about a corpse here."Jeffery sighed, "Grandma us right. Alina needs to be taught a lesson."Two men rushed into the living room, "We've located her new home address. She's lives outside town.""Oh, is that so?? Let's pay her a visit then.""Why don't I call her to come over, then you
