"So where did you meet Stephanie?" Mrs Allison asked her husband.

"I met her at the hospital." Mr Allison disclosed. "Oh, she deserves to be at the hospital for deceiving Mr Cameron." Mrs Allison said in response. "But why would you say that about your daughter?" Mr Allison asked with a frown on his face. "Since she married Jakes, she has ceased to be my daughter. So don't call her my daughter!" Mrs Allison said. It was obvious that she was frustrated.

"The Allison family should be wealthier by now if Stephanie stayed with Mr Cameron. She flopped things up with her lackadaisical attitude. How would someone have the opportunity to live the rest of her life in affluence, yet choose to stay with a pauper? It's really unbelievable." Mrs Allison continued.

"In the long run, she'll have no choice but to divorce Jakes by the time I'm done with her." Mr Allison said confidently.

    "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.

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.

    "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 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

    SOMETHING NEW

    As the night grew darker and silence settled over the house, Michael found himself restlessly pacing in his room. He couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss.
