"Call down, it may not be what you are thinking, and remember your health first, and that if this baby, if you hurt yourself, you will hurt your child too". Annie advised, even though she just couldn't help but agree with her friend that something was up with Ryan. More messages kept coming in, and Alexander was tempted to rush to it, but Annie stopped her."What are you doing? She inquires. "I don't think you should look into those messages, I feel we over stepped, by hacking his phone that way, and even if he has sinned and done something terrible, he may never forgive you, for manipulating him that way". Alexander released her hand from the phone, and though she kept hearing the beep of the phone, alerting her that messages were coming in, she tried as much as possible not to look.

The contracted son in-law There is something in her mind

She thought to herself. She would confront him and they could end everything, she won't even bother to listen to his story, because she has asked him severally, what the issue is, and he refused to open up. Since he isn't talking, she has found out herself, and she is not taking it lightly, but then on a second thought, she decided against it, she wanted to see how far he was willing to go. She wanted to see what he would do next, if he didn't get the money from Steven.

The contracted son in-law Bottling it up in
Juliana was not comfortable with the fact, that she didn't get the sort of money she needed, after the sale.

Her boyfriend kept calling her, those she owe money, were also calling her, she needed more money, but she has seen how hard it was for Ryan to bring the things he brought out, she needed someone else, someone that would feel threatened and submit to her threats immediately.

The contracted son in-law Juliana is murdered
Annie woke up to the news, while Alexander watch with smiles. Juliana was found dead, by the pool side."This is impossible, I saw her just yesterday". Annie says, hoping to get a response from her friend, but she was just smiling, as though she was the one that drew the life out of her. Cause of death, yet unknown, as investigation is still going on, anyone who has any news should come to the police. Annie turned to Alexander to see if she has any change in her demeanor, but she remained quiet and nonchalant about it all, her looks seem to mock the dead, and if Annie hadn't been with her all through, she would have suspected that she was the one that killed her, "Alexander, why are you not saying anything? she finally summoned courage to ask. "That is because I don't have anything to say, accidents happen always, my mother died in an accident, she just had an accident and that is life". she responded, while smiling at the television screen."But it was not said, that she was involv

"I can't remain strong
The silence in the hospital corridor was louder than any sound Damien had ever known. Though everywhere was quiet as a grave yard, he could hear everyone's heart beat, sounding so loud, as though he was in the club house. He could even read everyone's mind, and he could see their judging eyes as he pass by.Some are saying God is punishing him for his sins against his wife, but why not punish him and leave his daughter alone. She has the purest soul, anyone could ask of. As he moves, he had to hold his heart, because, even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard, even by others.He found a bench and without thinking, or looking to be sure, he was landing safely, he dropped on the bench. He sat motionless on the cold bench outside the diagnostics lab, his fingers interlocked, eyes fixed on the floor, barely blinking, anytime he blinks, a tear drops to the floor. A wet reminder of how heavy his heart was. His only thoughts were his little girl. His daughter lying unconscious just t
The black out

You are with someone special this one minute, and in the next minute, you are not able to explain what happened to the person. You look around and the person is gone. Ryan couldn't help but wonder if just as he had lost his father when he wasn't around to at least say his last words to him and maybe hear him out if he had any last wishes. He wasn't even around to try and save him, if there was anything he could do at all. Now he was standing, and looking at the hospital. He could see the way ambulance kept coming and going, it seem sicknesses and accident have become a daily activity.The cab driver demanded for his pay, since he asked that they leave the area, but Ryan didn't seem like he was willing to leave. He was paid, and he drove off, but Ryan didn't move, he only find himself a rock around
Forgiveness
After Ryan got out of prison, and had made peace with himself, he made up his mind to forgive Damien, it was the hardest thing for him to do, but he still did it, or maybe he didn't, because telling himself that he firgave Damien in his absence was different from actually forgiving someone that never asked for forgiveness and may never ask, still he made himself believe that for the love he has for Alexander, he has forgiven Damien for indirectly, killing his father. Apart from forgiving Damien Brick, Ryan, also needed Alexander to be at peace with him. If only he could just hear her say it, it would be the happiest day of his life. He isn't asking for much, just to have her forgive him, would mean the entire world to him.

Alexander between here and there
Alexander, seem.to be travelling or was it swimming in a deep ocean. It was neither light nor dark, as she got off the ocean and stood by the shore, staring into the water. Around her was just grey. It was endless, silence grey. The kind of silence that wraps around your skin, like most and settles into your bones.She started moving, but she knows not where she was heading."Am I dead? She asked herself, looking around to see if anyone was around to answer her, but she was all alone. She was by herself. Then she remembered she was pregnant, she touched her stomach to be sure, her baby was still in there, but she could feel nothing.She start d panting heavily as she turned in a slow circle, her bare feet touching nothing and everything at once. There was no ground, no wind, no scent. Only the thick, heavy air and the echo if her own breath. If it was breath at all.She couldn't tell how long she had been in this place, she couldn't even place the place. She knows not where she is, an
The first drop of rain
Annie stood frozen outside the doctor's office, her breath shallow. She tries to repeat what she had just heard the doctor say, but she just couldn't come to terms with it. It was so hard to comprehend.One donor, Two organs, what sort of miracle will that take? She asked rhetorically. That would probably take God himself to come down and take care of it.She turned and raced back to the room, her mind spinning. But when she stepped in, she stopped short.Was she seeing right, or was she imagining it all. From what she could see. Alexander's eyes were still closed, the same way she had left her, nothing has changed, but one thing she was sure changed was her fingers that were now curling slightly into her palm. It was slow, uncertain, but it was surely real. Annie rushed to her side, took her hand again, and this time, she was glad that it wasn't limp. Alexander reacted by folding her fingers against that of her friend. While holding her, Annie noticed that, there was faint warmth. W
The real battle, was only just begining
"She's been like this since Mr Scott passed", Annie spoke almost in a whisper, even though she was explaining a stale news to Damien Brick. Annie's voice barely holding itself together as she stared at her friend's fragile figure on the hospital bed. She tries to speak, but she couldn't, her friend was not responding to anything.Mr Damien's eyes burned with quiet fury. All this could have been avoided, if only he never forced his daughter marry Ryan Scott. The regret was evident in his face, and his attitude shows transfer of aggression. He stamped his hands on the wall."This is all Ryan's fault", he spat. Looking like he needed to punch his hands on the wall, which he did, and he got hurt, but he acted as though he was feeling nothing, while Annie kept watching, if her friend is going to move, at least with all the commotion, it is enough to wake her up.Annie didn't respond directly to him, he didn't even want to take another look at him. Though She wanted to, but rage had numbed
You are dead to me
Upon getting to the cemetery, a unique quality of the cemetery could be seen clearly. It was silent and wrapped in a thick, almost scared stillness. This quality have no particular time, attached to it as it is there all the time, even when people come in mass. One would wonder if the spirits don't communicate, or everything said about spirits are not true. Only the rustling leaves a d distant chirping of birds broke the stillness. One who still feels the need to love, may not be comfortable to stay there for an hour, but not in the case of Ryan Scott. He counts himself privileged to still be among the living, even though he doesn't know why, and he sees no reason to live.Ryan stood, as his eyes fixated on the polished headstone. Scott Howard, it read, etched with the dates of birth and death that always felt too close. He swallowed hard. He turned to his father's lover, Rosemary and who seem to have come prepared as she had a small bouquet of white lilies, trembling slightly In her

Ryan was dying to know what's going on with her, and that was why he was listening to news, forgetting that, the fact that a new killer have been found, which is Lindsay, that makes him a free man. When he heard nothing for the day about Alexander, he forced himself to start asking the officers around and they all didn't have answer for him.He had only gone back to his cell,that he was called out again."Congratulations, you are now a free man". Came the voice of the cop, but he didn't look very excited to be free, which the cop also noticed and so he chipped in."Don't you wanna go home? He asked, curious to know why he isn't jumping all over the place, like others used to do, when they hear that they are free."Going home to what? He asked, caus
Gabriel's body
It was a gruesome sight as the police got to the address given to them. At first they wonder if someone else have seen the body and taken it out, or someone who also wants him dead, have taken the chance to dispose his body so no one sees him, but the smell was really offensive, and it kept the cops going, but then again, they were having a second thought, as no one seem to be complaining about smell or a body and everyone kept going about their businesses as if nothing happened, they wanted to turn back and leave, but what Lindsay had said about collecting back her money right at his house, showed that the offensive smell they are perceiving is from his apartment, and not until they got close to the building and started perceiving an odd, yet offensive smell, that became all the more Offensive, did they know that they are close to their destination. The more they move closer, the more Offensive the smell becomes, they have no other choice than to keep on going. They also needed to
