For a few minutes, Mneso and I stared at each other with heavy mouths. It was all too good to be true. The feelings were overwhelming. I didn't know whether to hug her or stop her.

I couldn't differentiate my rights from my wrongs there. My sister and my mother were Back in my life after so long. I yawned for the affectionate touch of Mneso. Her little hands on my mind just like were kids, My mother's soothing words and her tender kisses on my Forehead I yearned for.

I never would have imagined a day like that was coming. A day when I would be able to look my sister again in the eye. I never believed it.

I was getting excited and impatient to run home and tell my mother I was her Christen. I was her lost child when I remembered the state of her health.

    CHAPTER 42( Chapter 40) "What?" What are you saying, Mneso? I mean he was popular and probably that was one of the many reasons why he was attacked and he lost his love wasn't it?", I asked defensively."Calm down sis, Justin and I are just having a harmless talk. Nothing more Okay? ", Madison said. I decided to calm down and observe her moves. I felt like she was trying to get Justin angry."Can you get us something to drink please? Justin and I would be waiting, " She asked me with a pretensive sweet smile on her face. I obeyed and went to get the water while both of them took their seats adjacent to each other. I didn't have a problem with Mneso and Justin vibing and bonding. I was at a greater advantage obviously. But I had a feeling that she was planning something sinister. " I wonder what they're talking about right now", I thought as I was getting the glasses. After getting the water, I didn't go straight back to them but stayed in the corner to eavesdrop on their conversation

I won't join you in a fight against Justin all because of an enmity started by our fathers eighteen years ago.I will not ruin mine and Justin's life just to avenge Dad's death. ", I said boldly.I gathered enough strength to pull myself together. I took her hands away from mine and stood up. "I will not do that D. I won't jeopardize my future and that of my family over a stupid feud.", I said.Madison stared at me with disbelief and disgust. She scoffed, kissed her teeth, and rolled her eyes. " I knew it. I just knew it . I know you only think about yourself . I know how selfish you are ", she said, "For once Christen, can you not think about yourself alone?", she asked with a look of disdain." This same man you are rooting for, Justin is the son of your father, my father, our father's murderer ", she said, "Are you not ashamed of having a bond with him ? Are you not choking with guilt? Think about Mother, the poor woman

We don't have enough time for all this", I said to him, "Madison is ready to do the worst to ruin you.

    Looking at the message again, I tried my best to decipher what exactly was in front of me. We just got everything settled and even got married again, he couldn't be... I shook my head wanting to get rid of the negative thoughts that flooded my mind. Was I overthinking things again? I know that I and Justin have had our ups and downs but one thing for sure was how much he loved me. If he didn't, he wouldn't have done everything to save me back then or to make things right between us. I'm probably just tired from all the night’s activity. Getting up, I took a towel to wrap myself up. I picked out the suit I wanted him to wear today. After all, he had a meeting and he needed to look his best. He does look good in everything by the way, even without clothes. My face turned a bright red at my perverted thoughts. I behaving like a teenager right now. There was honestly no reason I should be acting all smitten since it's not the first time I'm seeing his hot abs and

    After a week of constant suspicion, Justin noticed my attitude and let me know that it's his secretary. I still didn't like it, even if she was his secretary, she had no right to be sending him the most bizzare messages.“ Good day, madam,” his secretary, secretary Lena greeted as she and Justin stood before me in the living room. What were they doing here by this time?“ Honey, can I talk to you privately?” I didn't take my eyes off her for even a second as I beckoned to Justin to come over. I led the way to the kitchen, I could already feel his curious gaze on me as we walked to the kitchen.“ Did something happen? What's going on?” He bombarded me with questions the moment we got to the kitchen.“ Yes, something happened and you're about to explain what's going on to me,” I poked his chest with my index fingers.“ What did I do this time?” He looked at me totally confused. “ I don't know what you're talking about,”“ Your secretary. What's going on between the both of you?”“ There

    I walked into the mansion in rage, tears flowing endlessly down my eyes. I was getting fed up of being toyed with. “ Why in the world are you crying? And don't tell me that you were looking like this when you walked out of the company,” Mneso interrogated the moment I stepped in. She was holding Nathan in her hands. “ Help me pack my things,” I told her without any other form of emotion other than anger, broken-heartedness and despair. “ Woah! Hold on a second. What in the world is going on here?” She asked confused as she followed me upstairs. “ Nanny!” I ignored her. “ Yes madam,” she rushed to my aid quickly. “ Help me to pack the kids suitcase please,” I instructed. “ Is it just a few or...?” She stared at me confused.“ All. Not a single belonging of theirs should be left behind,” I ordered as I walked into the master bedroom which of course, belonged to I and Justin. “ Calm down, Isa. You're not explaining thin

" Hwweewww", I exhaled out of my mouth as I wiped off the sweat on my forehead with my forearm. " That's all of them", I said as I looked around at the bodies on the ground. I turned around and looked at my car, dented with marks of ricocheted bullets all around. " Geez, that'll need quite a lotta work", I said as I walked towards the door.

Thanks a lot doctor", Justin said, " but what about her memory? Is there anything we can do about it?", he asked." Apparently, it'll be best if we let the memories return on their own, unless we would be willing to risk shocking her into a stroke or a coma", said the doctor." Exactly when should we expect her memories to return?", Justin asked." Well, it depends on the circumstances around her. Just try to let her be around things and people that she knows really well. It'll help jog her memories", he said, " for now, let's just let her have some sleep", he added." Will do doctor. Thank you for coming", Justin said as he led the doctor out. Meanwhile, I rolled my wheelchair to her bedside." Izzy baby", I said as I rubbed my palm on her cheek, " you're so pretty even when you sleep", I said with a smile. " Aunt

    " Let me out dammit!", I yelled as I banged the door, " I gotta go save Janet", I said now leaning my back against the door as I slowly slid down into a crouched sitting position. " Knock! knock!", someone knocked on the door. " Who is it?", I asked as I hurriedly got up on my feet, " please let me out of here", I pleaded." It's me Justin. I'm coming in", he said as I heard the door unlock. As soon as he opened the door, I tried to make a run for it. Expectedly, I got caught easily." Calm down Izzy, you don't know what you're doing", he said with his hands around my waist. " Unhand me, you perv!", I yelled as I tried to break free from his grip. He let go off me and I took a few steps backward. " Don't you dare lay a finger on me or I'm telling my husband", I said with my index finger pointed at him."

    " You say she went out when?", the cop asked." I don't really know when, but it was in the morning", I said." What's her name?", he asked." Janet.... Janet Kelly", I answered." And you say she went out with a guy?", he asked." Yeah, her friend, though I think they're secretly dating", I said. He scribbled something down in a book." Any chance you know the name of the young man?", he asked." I can't really remember", I said." Humph", the cop sighed, " Are you sure you even know anything about her other than her name and the fact that she's your sister?", he asked." Frankly speaking, no. She's way too secretive about what goes on with her" , I replied." Alright, I'll draft a report and we'll begin our search in the morning okay?", he said as he arranged the paperwork on his desk." Tomorrow? what if she gets hurt tonight?", I asked." I'm sorry sir, but with the sparse info you've given me, there's nothing we can do till tomorrow morning", he said." Dammit!", I cussed as I ra

    “ Urrghh", I groaned as my eyes opened slightly and I tried to sit up." She's awake sir! she's awake!", I heard some ladies shout, their voices diminishing as they ran out. " What's all the ruckus about?", I thought as I opened my eyes, blinking quite a couple of times to clear up my vision. " Where am I?", I muttered as I looked around, surprised at how beautiful yet familiar the place looked. Then suddenly I remembered what happened on the way to the grocery store. " Oh my god, Janet!", I exclaimed as I hurriedly got off the bed. " Those men must have taken her", I muttered as I walked towards the door. Just as I was about to reach out for the doorknob, the door suddenly swung open. " Oh my god, Isabelle!", he said as he pulled in into his arms. I was about to struggle but his hug felt so warm. " I missed you baby, so so much", he said in a jerky voice as though he was holding himself back from crying. He looked just like the man from my dreams. " I'm sorry, but who are you?",

" Stop calling dammit!", I yelled in frustration as I drove as fast as I could. I tapped on my wireless earbud and picked the call." Calm down Maddie, you can't go alone", Justin said on the phone."
