"And what's it?! Go straight to the point or I hung up on you!" Mr Allison replied very rudely to Paul Felix."Mr Allison, I need to talk to you about something important," Paul said, his voice shaking."I'm sorry, Mr Allison, but what Lucas told you about your wife, Mrs Allison, cheating on you was a lie," Paul said.Mr Allison was stunned. "What?! Are you serious?" he asked, feeling a mix of emotions."Yes, I'm serious. I told Lucas to lie to you because...because...I was paid by Nancy to do it, then... I...I was angry with your wife," Paul said, his voice now full of remorse."So Nancy paid you to lie against my wife? Oh, no...this is unbelievable!" Mr Allison spoke at the top of his voice then he paused for a while. He wondered why Nancy was so desperate to destroy his home. "Why were you angry with her?" Mr Allison asked, his voice cold."It's a long story, Mr Allison. But I was jealous of the relationship that you and your wife had. I felt like I was always second best, and I j
Mark sat on the couch in his living room, staring blankly at the TV. It had been two months since the incident, and he still couldn't believe what had happened to him.He had been discharged from the hospital two days ago, but he was still struggling to come to terms with his new reality. He now had an artificial leg in place of the one he had lost, and he needed a walking aid to move around.Kathryn sat next to him on the couch, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him. She couldn't believe how much he had changed in such a short amount of time."Mark, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. I was the one who discouraged you from getting a bodyguard. Maybe, if you had gotten a bodyguard, this wouldn't have happened." Kathryn said.Mark looked at her, his eyes full of pain. "It's not your fault, Kathryn," he said. "You didn't do anything wrong by discouraging me. You meant well; and even if I had gotten a body guard, this could still have happened. I just wonder who wa
When it dawned on Taylor that Rose, his wife, had duped him of all his money and some of his properties, he couldn't believe how foolish he had been to trust her blindly.As he sat there lost in thought, his phone rang, jolting him out of his reverie. He picked up the phone and saw that it was his friend, John."Hey, John," Taylor said, answering the call."Hey, man. How are you holding up?" John asked, concern evident in his voice."Not good," Taylor replied, his voice laced with sadness. "Rose took everything from me and left. I don't even know where she is.""What? That's terrible," John said. "Have you contacted the police?"Taylor shook his head, even though John couldn't see him. "No, I haven't. I didn't think they could do anything."John let out a sigh. "Look, Taylor, you need to contact the police right away. You can't just let her get away with this."Taylor hesitated for a moment but then nodded his head. "Okay, I'll call them."After hanging up with John, Taylor quickly gr
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
