Jakes and Stephanie were ecstatic when they heard that Mr and Mrs Allison had reconciled. They had been worried about their foster parents ever since they got divorced. They decided to visit them during the weekend to congratulate them on patching things up.When they arrived, they were greeted with hugs and smiles. Mr Allison seemed particularly happy, and Stephanie couldn't help but notice how much he had changed. He seemed more relaxed and at ease as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.Over dinner, Stephanie couldn't resist asking what had brought about the reconciliation. Mr Allison looked at his wife and then turned back to Stephanie and Jakes. "Paul Felix was the cause of our break up in the first place," he said.Stephanie felt a pang of disappointment in her chest. Paul Felix was her father. She couldn't believe that he would be involved in something like this. "What do you mean?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.Mr Allison took a sip of his wine before
Mark was seated in his sitting room relaxing one Sunday afternoon when he heard a knock on his door. It was Kathryn's best friend, Sarah. Sarah had always been a close friend of Kathryn and Mark, so Mark welcomed her with a smile."Hey Sarah, it's nice to see you. How are you doing?" Mark asked."I'm fine, thanks. How about you?" Sarah asked."I'm good, thanks for asking. What brings you here today?" Mark inquired."I came to talk to you about Kathryn," Sarah said, looking serious.Mark's expression changed as he sensed something was wrong. "Is everything okay with Kathryn?" he asked, feeling concerned."I'm not sure if everything is okay. That's why I'm here. I have some things to tell you about her," Sarah said, sitting down on the couch.Mark sat beside her, looking at her with a questioning look. "What things do you want to tell me about Kathryn?"Sarah took a deep breath before starting. "Kathryn has done some terrible things in the past, and I think you should know about them. I
Jakes and Stephanie couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort when they saw Michael standing at the gate of the Allisons' house. It's been a while since they saw him and they knew he was always out for trouble. Ignoring him, they quickly made their way to Jakes' car and got in, trying not to let their discomfort show. As they drove away, they could see Michael watching them from the gate, his face twisted in confusion and hurt.Once they were out of earshot, Jakes let out a sigh of relief. "I wonder what he'll be up to this time," he said.Stephanie nodded in agreement. "Same here. All my life I've known him as dangerous. He has no other name than that." She said.As they drove away, Michael was left standing alone at the gate, feeling hurt and angered by their cold reception. He made his way into the Allisons' house to find his parents. He was surprised to find Mrs Allison greeting him with a warm smile as if nothing was wrong."Michael, how lovely to see you," she said, hugging
Mark found it difficult to break up with Kathryn. He knew that she was a woman with a good heart for her to support him while he was in the hospital, up to the time that he was discharged. And even now, her love for him did not seem to be dwindling after she noticed that he had lost one of his legs.Mark's friend, Tom, who had advised him to break up with Kathryn, couldn't believe that he had decided to continue with the relationship. He came over to Mark's house to talk some sense into him."Mark, I don't understand why you're still with her. She's wicked and has done terrible things to people. You deserve better than that," Tom said."I know, Tom, but I can't help how I feel about her. She's been there for me through thick and thin," Mark replied."But at what cost, Mark? Are you willing to continue being in a relationship with someone who has a questionable character?" Tom asked.Mark fell silent. He knew that Tom had a point, but he couldn't bring himself to end things with Kathr
Michael was taken aback when he received a call from his mother, Mrs Allison. He had always thought that Stephanie was his real sister, and now he was hearing something entirely different. He listened intently as his mother spoke, telling him the true story behind Stephanie's birth.Mrs Allison explained that Stephanie was not her biological child, but rather the daughter of her friend's wife, who had passed away shortly after giving birth, so she helped to take care of his daughter from infancy. She had helped raise Stephanie as her own, alongside her real child, him.Michael had so many questions, but he didn't know where to begin. His mother's voice brought him back to reality."I know this is a lot to take in, Michael," Mrs Allison said softly. "But I wanted you to know the truth. I kept it from your father all these years because I was afraid of what it would do to our marriage."Michael was silent for a moment, trying to process everything. "Why are you telling me this now?" he
When Kathryn came back to herself, she withdrew from Michael's embrace. "Please, I need you to leave now," she told Michael. Michael felt reluctant and was surprised by her sudden reaction. After hesitating for a while, he left Kathryn's house.While he was on his way to where he had parked his car, he called Liam over the phone. Liam answered the phone call immediately. "Boss, what's the update?" he asked."Kathryn still loves Mark, even after all that's happened," Michael said, his voice filled with frustration."Well, that complicates things," Liam replied. "What do you want to do now?""I don't know," Michael said. "We can't just let this go. We've invested too much time and effort into ruining Mark's life. We need to find a way to break them up for good." he continued."I see," Liam said. "So what's the plan now?""I don't know," Michael replied. "But we can't let Mark come between us and our goals. We need to get rid of him."Liam thought for a moment. "Are you sure that's the
Liam had been tailing Mark for days. He knew his every move, his routine, and where he liked to go. It was only a matter of time before he found the right moment to strike. And when that moment finally came, Liam was elated.Mark had stopped at a park to sit on a bench and take in the scenery. It was a quiet, peaceful place, and perfect for Liam's plan. Liam hid behind a tree, his gun already drawn, waiting patiently for the right moment to take his shot.As he aimed his gun, Liam's hand shook, but he tried to keep his hand steady as he pulled the trigger. But the shot missed. Mark had stood up just as Liam pulled the trigger, and the bullet whizzed past him, hitting a nearby tree. Mark looked around, confused, trying to figure out where the shot came from. Liam cursed under his breath and quickly ducked behind the tree.He needed to come up with a new plan. Liam took out his phone and snapped a picture of Mark, sending it to Michael. "Boss, I just thought you should see what he loo
Mrs Allison was busy in her garden when her phone rang. She wiped her hands on her apron and answered the call."Hello?""Hi, Kayla. It's Paul."Mrs Allison felt a knot form in her stomach at the sound of his voice. She hadn't spoken to him since the last time he tried to ruin her marriage."What do you want, Paul?" she asked coldly."I miss you, Kayla. I want us to talk.""I don't want to talk to you, Paul. You hurt me and my family.""I know, and I'm sorry for that. I just...I miss you. I miss us.""There is no us, Paul. There never was.""I disagree. We had something special, Kayla. You can't deny that.""We had nothing, Paul. What we had was a mistake, and I regret it. I regret ever getting involved with you.""Please, Kayla. Just hear me out. I need you in my life.""You need to move on, Paul. Leave me and my family alone!""But I can't, Kayla. I can't stop thinking about you.""That's your problem, not mine. I'm happy with my husband and my children. I don't need you in my life.
