"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
"Firstly, I'll like to apologize for whatever my family may have cost you. Especially, not letting you know that I was married. However, on behalf of them, can you give me some ample time to pay all that you invested into 'The Class of Verity'?" Stephanie asked Mr Cameron. She knew the consequences would be so grievous, if she left Mr Cameron without promising to pay back the money he invested into "The Class of Verity." Stephanie knew she and Jakes didn't have that kind of money, but she believed that they could be able to pay the money install mentally, perhaps within some years."Don't tell me that. Should you apologize on their behalf? They lied to me that you weren't married and that the baby in your womb was conceived by a mistake; and it belonged to someone you didn't like to get married to. As if that wasn't enough, your mother also told me that you had always admired me from a distance. And you always talked about how much you couldn't wait to get into a relationship with me
"Hmmm...How many months did you say he gave you to pay the money?" Jakes asked. "Five months," Stephanie replied. "But did you find out how much money it is?" Jakes asked Stephanie. "Yes, it's $1000000," Stephanie replied. "$1000000?" Jakes asked. "Yes," Stephanie confirmed. "But how would he expect you as an individual to pay a sum of $1000000 within five months? Not even a year!" Jakes exclaimed."Yes, I was surprised when he gave me such a short time frame. I guess he knew that I won't be able to afford it, and I would have no other option than to return it to him. But he is wrong because I'm not going back to him." Stephanie said, then she paused for a while."But come to think of it, if that money is not paid within five months, "The Class of Verity" will end up being sold. Then our family will be at risk because the Allisons will come for us very strongly this time around. I know what that wicked family of mine can do..." Stephanie said."But why did you agree to a period of fiv
