"Hello. Am I on to Stephanie Johnson?" Michael asked over the phone. Dr Dave had given him Stephanie's phone contact, so he decided to put a call through. "Yes. Please who am I speaking with?" Stephanie asked in surprise. She wondered who called her by her full name. "Hey, Stephanie. It's Michael your brother. Please, don't hang up the phone on me. I know I have wronged you..." Michael pleaded softly. "Really? You call yourself my brother? Nonsense!" Stephanie said as she hung up the phone angrily. She was still angry at Michael and Mrs Allison because of what they did to her. Now, she was surprised at why Michael was calling her, or what information he wanted to divulge to her this time around. Michael felt pained that he wasn't able to communicate with Stephanie, but he refused to be discouraged. "I'm not going to give up in trying to get across to her; I must find her," Michael told himself. He thought of strategies he could use in getting across to Stephanie; then he remembered J
It was another work day, and Jakes was at work. He had been so busy and engrossed with the day's work. It was almost closing time at 'The Legends," when Jakes remembered what his wife asked him to do. Since, the day she talked to him about her need for a nanny, she always fantasized about it - where she would be doing during the period, and what part-time she could get. Since Jakes woke up very early that morning, Stephanie had been reminding him at intervals not to forget what they discussed the previous day. She was so anxious about her freedom."Oh, I have to speak to Karen about her friend's nanny," Jakes told himself. He quickly picked up the phone on his table and dialled a number. "Hi, Karen. Please can I see you quickly in my office, before you leave for home?" Jakes asked. "That's fine," the voice on the other end responded.After a short while, someone knocked on Jakes's door. "Come in, please." Jakes said, then the door was pushed open. "Good day, Sir." Karen greeted. "Good
"Hello, Dr Dave. How has work been today?" Michael asked. "Fine, thank you." Dr Dave responded. "Since you gave me Stephanie Johnson's phone contact, I have still been unable to reach her. I don't understand why her phone number hasn't been going through for a while." Michael said."Is that so...?" asked Dr Dave. "Yes, Doc. I'm so bothered because its been a while ever since I heard from her or saw her. The same with her husband, Jakes." Michael said, with a shaky voice. "Oh, I'm so sorry about that Mr Michael. I don't have any other contact information asides from the one I gave you the last time we met..." Dr Dave said."Oh..." Michael responded. "However, I'll advise you to keep trying her number. Who knows when it would go through." Dr Dave responded. He had had no reason to call Stephanie's number in recent times, so he couldn't tell if her number was going through or not."Okay, Doctor. But I'll like you to do me a favour." Michael said. "What is it?" Dr Dave asked anxiously. "I
It was Friday evening. Michael sat in his sitting room and began to wonder why Stephanie got herself a nanny. "How will they cope with paying a nanny's salary?" Michael thought to himself. He knew how poor Jakes was, and how he and Stephanie struggled to make ends meet. "Or could it be a different couple who just bore the same name as them?" Michael thought. He wondered how a couple would bear the exact name and surname with them. "No, it can't be. They must be the ones." Jakes thought. After careful thinking, Michael concluded that Stephanie hired a nanny because she wanted to work, so she needed someone who could monitor the baby very closely. He remembered how Stephanie talked about children when they were younger and still together. She never believed in daycares for very young children; she believed every child deserved to be given the best care and attention."Maybe, that's what made her choose such an expensive option. Jakes is probably yet to find a job, and they'll surely nee
It was late on Tuesday evening, and Ma Elizabeth was back at home from the Johnsons' place to her house when she heard her phone ring. It was an unknown number, so she wasn't sure who it was. However, she picked up the call. "Hello, Ma Elizabeth," said the voice on the other end. She wondered who it was that called her by her name. So she believed that it was someone familiar. "Good evening. Who am I speaking with, please?" Ma Elizabeth asked."You'll soon get to know. I just called to ask you about Stephanie Johnson's address once again. I know you so well, and your refusal to send me the address will lead to the death of your only child, Lawrence, his wife, and children..." The voice said sternly."What?! You must be kidding me right? Why will you want to kill my child and his family, because you want me to release something very private about my client...?" Ma Elizabeth asked in shock. "Don't ask me any silly questions. All I want from you is the house address of the Johnsons. I g
Stephanie came back from work that afternoon, and couldn't find any trace of Ma Elizabeth and her baby. So she decided to check for Matt, but he was nowhere in sight. She went to the backyard of the house to check if he was there, and then she found him."Hey, Matt! So you've been here. Do you know about Ma Elizabeth and my baby's whereabouts? I didn't see them when I came in. They're not in the sitting room. Did they go out or something?"Stephanie asked, looking very perturbed. "They should be in the house. I left them back in the house, before coming here." Matt explained. "Follow me, then," Stephanie said, as she held Matt's hand, pulling him behind her until they entered the sitting room. "Look. They are not here!" Stephanie exclaimed. "I wonder what relevance you have here if you don't know when someone walks in here or steps out. You better pray that I find my baby! Or else..." Stephanie shouted, feeling very distraught and angry at Matt, and then she heard her phone ring. Sh
"I'm so confused! I don't know what to do." Stephanie said, looking very perturbed. Since she received the strange call about Gerald and the nanny being kidnapped, she had been very fidgety. Even though Jakes managed to go to work the next morning, she couldn't wait for Jakes to return. All through the time, he was at work, she had made several phone calls, informing her friends about the missing baby, but most of them advised her to inform the police, and to be calm about the situation.Now it was 4 pm, and Stephanie was becoming very apprehensive. Jakes was yet to be back, and she needed someone to talk to. "I may have to go there. Gerald mustn't be killed." Stephanie thought as she paced up and down in the sitting room until she heard the sound of Jakes's car. "Oh! He's back." Stephanie said, feeling a sense of relief.In a moment, Jakes walked into the sitting room and saw Stephanie looking very distraught. "Hello, Darling." Jakes greeted his wife. Stephanie sighed on seeing Jakes
"Oh, my goodness! You don't have to do this Michael. Please let me go with my baby." Stephanie said as she continued to cry. "I don't have time for your stupid pleas. All I need is for you to choose one of the two options that I just mentioned. I know you don't have the money to pay all that Mr Cameron had invested into 'The Class of Verity', so the only option you have is to return to Mr Cameron." Michael said."No...No... I will do no such thing. I'm already married to Jakes, and I won't forfeit my relationship with him for any reason." Stephanie said. "Dub! Bring me that baby. The mother isn't ready to cooperate!" Michael ordered. "No! No! No! Don't touch him!" Stephanie screamed out in fear. "I will!" Michael responded."Okay, okay then. I'll return to Mr Cameron. So, can I have my baby now?" Stephanie asked. "No, not yet. You can't fool anyone here. We have to see you return to him first before we release your baby!" Michael said. "I have agreed to return to him, so what else do
