Immediately Anita was rushed to the hospital, and the nurses on duty wheeled her straight to the VIP ward. It's no longer a new thing that they have recognized her as the Billionaire's wife, coupled with Darren who also carried her inside.

For thirty minutes, the doctors and nurses didn't come outside. After a while, one of the nurses came outside and Darren noticed that she ran back with two pints of blood, he became more worried.

Jamal, Stella, and Maya were also there, including Easton. Darren's cloth was full of blood but he didn't pay attention to it. All he wanted was to hear that his wife and baby were okay.

His happiness was cut short when the doctor came outside after what seemed like forever.

"Mr. Walter" he called, walking towards Darren.

"How is she?" He asked, losing patience already.

"She is now stable but I'll need you in my office" the doctor added.

He led the way to his office while Darren followed behind. Others were still looking at them but none of them could say a

Was the first question that their father asked."It's a hospital, Father," Ola replied, feeling excited that did he woke up well."Hospital? What am I doing here in the hospitals?" He asked again."Don't you remember? You collapsed when you found out that all your hard-earned money had gone!" Monica sniffed in the tears that were threatening to fall."Are you talking about the ten dollars that my uncle gave me? Where is it? I need my money, you all need to find my money" he began to cry like a child."Ten dollars? Uncle?" The trios were surprised to hear that."Moreso, who are you? Are you all my uncle's friends?" He qu

    "The cookies Miss Cecelia brought were poisoned" Easton dropped the bombshell."What!" Darren exclaimed, louder enough to wake Anita up from her sleep but instantly left her room."Get me all the information about the chef who made the snacks" Darren instructed, then hung up the call.He was confused about two things. If Cecelia was aware of the miscarriage, how would she have the effrontery to bring back the same cookies, knowing it was poisoned?Also, from her expression earlier, it was obvious that she cares about Anita. Angel was only speaking about what happened at the hall earlier, not minding the discomfort on Anita's face but Cecelia was advising her to move on, telling her the baby would come back soon."Something is wrong somewhere" he mumbled and went out of the hotel room.★★★★★"How are you feeling now?" The doctor asked Cecelia, whose face had turned pale already as a result of purging."It's getting better," she murmured since she was very weak.Suddenly, there was a kn

    "Who sent you?" Darren asked in a hoarse voice that was echoing in the entire building. His voice was loud enough to the extent that it made Jacob flinch."Nobody sent me," he replied, which made Easton waste no time in slapping him. The slap made the old Jacob weary to the extent that he fell on his sofa.He stood up again, holding his cheek that was already burning with the slap."Master, see" Easton called Darren's attention to the pictures that were pasted on the wall.They were all angel pictures from when she was young to when she reached her current age. Some of the pictures were sketched while some were printed and others were from the magazine's cover.Jacob noticed that both were engrossed with the picture and saw it as an opportunity to escape.He was about to open the door that was initially locked by Easton when Easton saw it.He picked the picture frame that was closer to him and threw it at Jacob, targeting his leg."Argh" he groaned in pain as the frame hit his leg.

    "I want you both to tell me the exact punishment that suits your offenses," he asked."W-wh-what!" Irene began to shiver.As long as the Angel won't be involved, it's okay by Jacob."I'm waiting and I'm not going to wait forever, I need to go back to my wife before she wakes up," he added, checking his wristwatch again."Sir, please. Just forgive me. I promise that I won't do that again, please" Irene begged, she didn't want to imagine the kind of punishment that Darren might give them."A life was lost and it wasn't just anybody but my first child. Do you think you both deserve forgiveness?" He roared like a lion."I was the one that engaged her in this evil. Can you just let her go, please? I'll serve her punishment along with mine" Jacob uttered."Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. She accepted because her mind was also full of evil" Darren replied before he got interrupted by a call."Father," he said. He wasn't surprised to see his father's call in the middle of the night,

    "Welcome home, daughter," Jason smiled.Anita was stunned, she wasn't expecting the mighty Jason Walter to welcome her with his open arms, despite her room."Thank you sir" she mumbled, feeling shy but Jason burst into laughter."You don't need to be shy, daughter.

    "Is this the hotel?" She was stunned.The hotel was made with mud and there was a well, as well as a kitchen outside, where food was being cooked with firewood.That was Zara's first time seeing people cooking with firewood."Yes, this is the best in our area. They offer you free food and I bet you won't be able to resist the taste. Also, the payment is just thirty dollars per day. Isn't that okay?" The man smiled, then went back to his work."Babe, this a village. You can't expect it to be glamorous like the place we were coming from.

    New Life

    Monica entered the house, looking tattered. She was coming from the court, where she was asked to pay a dime of five hundred thousand dollars and she reluctantly did, since she had no choice.All her life investment was gone, just because of a silly mistake.She collapsed on the sofa, crying like a day old baby. She was already frustrated.Ava was at the corner, looking drunk and she was still drinking. All her efforts to look for her daughter and reconcile with her were all futile. She was like a barren woman in her old age. Funniest enough, there were no properties under her possession."Do I continue living like this? I don't even have any dime to eat, talkless of accomodation. Darren that was supposed to help me had turned into a beast. What would I do?" Monica thought.While thinking, she decided to call Ola to see for work in the restaurant that she was working at. She was already at the junction that there was no other hope than to work."Hello sister" Ola greeted me from the

    "What!" Monica was shocked."What have I done to deserve that? I was only trying to gain the access to see you because it's important" she stuttered."Access to see me by creating nuisance inside a peaceful place of work? I'm gonna tolerate any shit from you. Easton,the damages must be paid this week" he instructed, then went back to his office.Monica sat down on the floor, she was helpless. She had never imagined that it was going to turn out that way."Ma'am, this isn't the best place to think. You should go back to your house and get yourself a lawyer" one of the security guard advised.Slowly and sluggishly, she took up and left, without Uttering any statement.She was trying so hard to fight the tears that were threatening to fall on her face. She sniffed them back inside."No, it's not gonna happen. Darren said that to scold me. I'll go to his house later to apologize" she thought as she entered the house.She sat on the sofa, Lost in thoughts when the door opened, revealing Av

    Ola was in awe with the physical look of the house. The house looked like an old abandoned house in the nineteenth century. She couldn't believe such a house would still be available in the Twenty first century. She was perplexed."Is this the house you are talking about?" She asked the woman for confirmation."Yes, it's two flats and I need a tenant in one. This is one of the best apartments you can find in this area and it's also cheap" the grandma Explained with joy written all over her face."Oh no! I need a good apartment. Not a shattered one like this" she cried out."There is nothing wrong with this apartment. I've been living here since I got married to my late husband. You can even get cheap fruits and vegetables in this neighborhood since we harvest it directly from our farms. It's the best you can get but if you wish to go to the Town, then you need to prepare thousands of dollars per monthly payment" the grandma said.Ola found herself, sitting down on the floor, thinking

    Darren stood in front of the hall, looking exceptional as usual. Easton also stood beside him and the reporters were listening attentively to hear him out. That was the first time he called them and they also made sure to come out massively."Good evening to you all. I'm here to talk about the pictures of my personal assistant and I that have been roaming the internet since the early hours of today. Initially, I didn't wanna talk about it but at a point, I think this is the best option, so that the cops intervene" he started.Easton opened the bottled water and gave it to him. He sipped from it before he continued."Truly, those two people in the pictures are my pa and i. As reporters, I think you know the damages of work hazard, despite working for only one sector. Now imagine what a CEO like me faces everyday, trying to make sure all my employers are well.
