Stephanie began to think of returning to Jakes. She had begun to miss him very greatly. Even though she had made up her mind in the past not to forgive him, she was now ready to change her decision. She began to feel like she was not in any way better than Jakes. She would have slept with Mr Cameron just like Jakes had slept with Michelle if she had not returned to her senses.

She thought of the love she and Jakes once shared, and how much she was missing every bit of it, even though she pretended not to be affected by their separation. She was now looking forward to their reconciliation. Jakes had tried to bring her back in several ways, but she made it impossible for him. She picked up and phone and began to type a text message.

"Hi, Jakes. I want us to come back together again. I know I was too harsh on you. I now acknowledge that we all are not perfect; we only try to be. Will you please forgive me?"

Stephanie.

After sending the message, she waited for a while to see if she would

    After the close of work at "Turners and Associates," Rose and Michael strolled towards Michael's car like they usually did after work. They entered the car and began to discuss: "When will you be coming over to my place?" Rose asked. "What?!" Michael asked. He wasn't sure of what he just heard. He had always wanted to visit Rose's place in the past, but she always had a way of brushing the issue aside."What do you think you heard? I said, when will you be coming over to my place? Rose repeated her question. " Of course, anytime you want me to come," Michael replied. "What if I tell you that I want you to come with me now?" Rose asked. "Then, I'm ready," Michael said, smiling at Rose. He looked very happy and excited at Rose's offer. "So, can we go now?" Rose asked. "Of course, we can," Michael responded."Alright, then.

    "So tell me, did you buy the car or what?" Jakes asked again when he saw that Stephanie did not respond to him the first time he asked. "Someone gave me as a gift," Stephanie said. "Really? That person must be wealthy because I can see that it's an expensive car, and it's also brand new," Jakes said. "You're right, " Stephanie responded, without saying anything more. Jakes was surprised at her snappy response because he expected her to say more. "So, who gave you as a gift?" Jakes asked. "It's no other person than Mr Cameron," Stephanie disclosed. "The same Mr Cameron who asked us to pay a large sum of money within five months?" Jakes asked, looking very surprised. "Yes, he is the same person," Stephanie responded. "Did you meet him?... And what was his reason for gifting you a car?" Jakes asked, still looking surprised. "It's a long story which I'm not ready to talk about now. I wish we could talk about it some other time." Stephanie said, then she paused for a while and continued.

The driver greeted Kent, as he entered the car and sat in the back seat. "Good day. Work was fine," Kent responded. "Going straight home?" The chauffeur asked. "Yes, home," Kent responded as the chauffeur drove off the road. They passed through a quiet place that led to Kent's house when the both of them noticed a car behind them, trying to overtak

"Are you sure about what you are saying? Remember that, that was what you told me the other time until I got to find out the truth," Michael said."I'm very serious this time, Boss. You can make your findings," Liam said. "Alright then. I'll call you some other time." Michael promised as he hung up the phone. Before he could return the phone to the table beside him, he heard it again."Hello Michael, Kent is dead." Mrs Allison said as she began to sob. "What?! That's so unbelievable." "When did it happen?

    Mr Allison was away from Fitbuck city when he heard about the death of Kent. It was a bright Friday morning, and he was in his hotel room when he heard his phone ring. He checked it and found out that it was Mr Lowell. "Mr Lowell?" Mr Allison asked himself in surprise. Since he traveled, he had not received any call from "The Class of Verity." Kent had proved to be very responsible while he was the CEO, so he attended to everything that involved the company excellently, without him having to come in. "I hope all is well?" Mr Allison muttered, as he picked up the call."Hello, Sir," Mr Lowell spoke from the other end. "Hello, Mr Lowell. How are you today? And how is the company?" Mr Allison asked. "I'm fine, as well as the company. Asides from...from Mr Kent," Mr Lowell spoke very coldly. His voice was shaky, and it was obvious that he felt worried about something. "Kent? Please come out clear. What do you mean?" Mr Allison asked. "Mr Kent is dead." Mr Lowell broke the news."What?! Yo
