Emily helped Stephanie to gather her bags so she could return to her parents. She couldn't control how nervous she felt.

“I don't know why but I feel so restless. I feel like I should not return today,” Stephanie uttered, grabbing her bag and looking around.

“You shouldn't feel that way. Everything will go great. Afterall, you wanted to see them. You should listen to your heart,” Emily advised.

She later packed her bags and left. While she was on the go, Emily started thinking about how she would approach her father about the marriage and how she was treated. She was moved to her hometown immediately after Stephanie left.

Her heart pounded in fear, she could only hope it was not what she was thinking, what it looked like.

Her father usually told her, the truth will always find its way no matter how bitter it is.

There was absolutely nothing to admit to because he never committed the crime.“Why did you do all of this?” Stephanie pulled the collar of his shirt.“What's all this in my house? You should really chill. This is not making sense anymore. I ruined the company and I left because I couldn't face the company, especially your father. You have to believe me,” he started pleading.“You made me lose a lot, you are heartless,” she cursed.“I'm not anything you say I am.

    Family ties."How do you feel now?" Chris asked Stephanie while she lay on her sick bed. She had her bandages wrapped around her head to enable a speedy recovery. It's not even 48 hours yet and Stephanie has lost much weight due to the excess bleeding from her head."I feel some type of way right now. I just can't explain. I can't wait to stand on my feet again." Stephanie responded in a faint voice as she held Chris's hands so passionately and stared directly into his eyes, "Thank You!""For? I can't recall doing anything," Chris responded to pretend he didn't know what she was talking about."Come on, Chris. Don't act like you don't know. Of course, you know what I meant. Thank you for everything. I wasn't expecting you to come through for me in my distress and trust me, I don't take your kindness for granted. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me and more," Stephanie buttressed and displayed her heartfelt gratitude. She forgot to address the horrible texts s

Her hastiness would determine how fast Stephanie would get better."Have you figured out what to do? We don't have plenty of time to gamble around," Doctor Mario asked Chris. He was taking a stroll when he saw Chris and Emily standing at the reception. He expected Chris to have fetched Stephanie's family members previously discussed in his office."I know, Doctor. I'm working towards that I just called her mom and she'll be here pretty soon. Just buy us more time, please," Chris pleaded.Emily wasn't paying attention to their discussion.

His mind went blank the moment Mario disclosed traces of narcotics found inside Stephanie's system."I'm fine! I am just trying to process everything. I'm still in shock.' Christian placed his head on Mario's desk to nurse his pain.Christian is quite aware that Mario is telling the truth but he's scared to admit it. He would rather pretend not to know to avoid Mario from suspecting that Stephanie is into drugs. He wishes he could visit Jayden at the station and strangle him with bare hands. He's the reason they're into this mess."I want to ask an important question and I'll need you to be honest with me. Can you do that?" Mario asked."Sure!" Chris nodded in a faint voice.

Just when she thought their problems were over, Stephanie's accident gave me another reason to trap them back inside the hospital's premises."Where are we taking her to? I know a nearby hospital where Stephanie would receive the best treatment. Let's get her inside my car," Christian said. He knew where Emily was driving but he just wanted her to spell it out."What sort of question is that? Why take her elsewhere when we are in the right place?Can't you see that we are in the hospital already? We should carry her inside where she would be treated inside." She responded with a harsh voice."Hell no! There's no way Stephanie would be treated in this same hospital. Have you forgotten what happened recently? To me, this hospital is bad news and must be avoided at all costs." Chris instructed at the expense of Stephani

His sense of loss was so deep, that he thought it'd kill him some nights.He paced around the cell for a couple of minutes in his prison uniform looking restless. He can't withstand the pressure anymore."Calm down, bro. It'll be fine. You've got nothing to worry about. You've been restless since we got here. We don't need that negative energy right now. We just need to stay positive." Jayden walked up to Brandy and calmed his nerves. It's crazy how you're calming the same person you're banking on for your freedom."Get your hands off me. You're in no position to say that to me. How dare you ask to stay calm when you know the situation already? You don't expect me to sit down and fold my arms right?

    Reconciliation Christian wasn't bothered about his potential arrest initially because he was quite confident of his innocence. He even made a declaration of becoming a Freeman who finally came to a manifestation.“I'll be going home at last. It's been a crazy adventure.” Chris smiled. He was so elated that he was going home. There's no greater joy than seeing Brandy and Jayden being arrested by the cops. If Chris was allowed to have his revenge on them, he doesn't mind shooting them in the head and watching them bleed to death. At least once in his life, he was able to do the right thing when it mattered.“Mark!” Chris halted Mark.“Where are you going? Please come back to me. There's something critical I need to discuss with you.We still have unfinished business.,” Christian called Mark when he noticed how scared Mark had become since he explained to everyone how Brandy destroyed everything. “Unfinished business?

    The Escape route.“What's running through your mind now, Brandy? Doesn't it bother you that you might be spending the rest of your life in jail for committing a serious crime? You haven't spoken a word since we entered this vehicle. Are you planning on something I should know about?” Jayden whispered silently as the cops drove them to the station. He's noticed how unbothered Brandy has been lately.“Nothing special. I don't have Skeleton up my sleeves. I just have this peace of mind that can't be explained. I'm certain my Dad would come for me pretty soon. I've got absolutely nothing to worry about,” Brandy boasted. He isn't bothered by the arrest because he knows it's just a matter of time before his father comes through for him. When the cops got Brandy's declaration that Brandy would be arrested, he never argued or fought with them. Majestically, he smiled and walked his way into their vehicle, while Jayden kept arguing and pleading for a second chance at freedom again.Brandy's

    Brandy's antics."Emily, is he telling the truth? I need you to be honest with me. You're the only one I could trust right now. Brandy is a jerk. No truth comes out of his mouth.I don't want to believe that Brandy erased all the data. What gave him the nerves to do that?" Chris focused his attention on Emily. She was the only person that wouldn't lie to him. He doesn't want to believe Mark's explanation even though it seems legit."I hate to admit this but it's nothing but the truth. Mark already said it all. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have agreed to what he said. Everything happened right in front of me. You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. It saddens my heart each time I remember what happened out there.My head's spinning right now and I don't want to fall sick.," Emily narrated her ordeal in a soft tone. She's gradually losing her voice each time she opens her mouth to speak. She vowed never to speak until they reached the conclusion."Over to you Brandy. E
