Althea made the decision to leave since Dr. Sam wasn't paying attention. Just as she turned to leave, he stopped her.

"Have a sit Althea..." He suddenly said making her halt on her steps.

She turned to see his gaze on her. The book was already placed down on his table.

She sat opposite him and he took off his glasses.

"I'm sorry I kept you standing for that long. But, I had so much interest in what I was reading and getting interrupted will only make me not grasp the solution to what I wanted.." He explained.

"It's not a problem Doctor, I can just go and come back tomorrow so you can get back to your reading.. " She told him and he chuckled.

" I got what I was looking for Althea, so you don't have to worry! "

Althea nodded, having no idea what to do next.

"So tell me, Althea... Your sessions with me so far, how has it helped you? And do you have anything else you'd like to say before I begin my counseling?"

Something is going to trigger her once more and she's going to come crawling back to him... He was sure of that and it won't take long before she comes back. He sure really did his job quite well and to appease himself, he took his cellphone and dialed a number, placing it on his ear. It rang for sometime before the person in question picked up . "Hello Boss?.. It's almost done. All we need is just a little more time.." He said proudly like it was just some piece of cake for him to handle.Of course it was... Women are always so fragile. Their hearts can be easily toyed with.He waited for the response from the so-called boss but the smile on his lips never wavered."Do I get a bonus for a job well done?.." He asked jokingly but serious as well."Great!!" He exclaimed when his request got approved by the so-called boss over the phone. "Reach ou

    Oscar's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy and disoriented. He was met with an familiar ceiling, and his head pounded like a drum. As he struggled to sit up, a wave of nausea washed over him as a foul odour hit his nostrils. But it was the sight of his hands that made his heart race. They were covered in blood, and a knife lay clenched in his fist. Oscar's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the blade, his mind reeling with questions. What happened? And whose blood was this?Panic set in as he stood up but his legs felt jelly and he staggered backwards but managed to keep his cool, his eyes scanning the room frantically. That's when he saw her - a woman lying motionless on the floor, a pool of blood spreading from her head like a dark halo.Oscar's breath caught in his throat as he stumbled backward, the knife slipping from his grasp. He landed hard on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the gruesome scene before him.But it was the bloodstains on his shirt that made his blood run col

Her eyes and cheeks all swollen.Living in hell was far better than being tortured by Oscar Williams or his men. She'd never for a split second think that the Charming CEO everyone knows him off could be this ruthless. She managed to pull her eyes open when the sound of the door creaking open caught her attention. She knew she was in for another round of torture when Oscar walked in. He grabbed a stool by the side and sat in front of her. Rachel shot him a deadly look. If only looks could kill, then he'd have been six feet under. "How is my little prey doing?" Oscar asked, a deadly glare running on his lips."Why don't you just kill me instead? Just kill me you jerk!!!" "No.. " Oscar moved his index finger sideways.

    Althea remained quiet as they drove back home. She kept staring out the window, lost in thoughts and and as Oscar noticed that she hasn't said a word, he turned on the music to lighten up the mood. "Are you okay?" He asked.

    Phoenix felt like the stars were on his side today. What an easy way to get rid of Althea. He'd simply just inject her and then walk out freely like nothing ever happened.

He felt like laughing out his victory as he placed the tray down and picked a particular injection from the tray, then turned to Althea was fast asleep on her bed with on of her arm slightly over her face.

    Later that evening, The ladies were gone and it's just Althea and Oscar in the ward. Althea kept playing with her fingers, while biting on her lower lip while Oscar kept slicing the apples while avoiding her gaze. They are both acting awkward because of the kiss they almost shared. Yes, it's weird because at that moment, they both lost their senses. Sighing deeply, Althea thought about if they had really kissed, if only they weren't interrupted, she wished. "Oscar?.." She suddenly called before she could stop herself. "Yes!?" She suddenly went blank. Why did she call him in the first place? What was she going to say? "Nevermind!" She said, averting her gaze.. Such stupid thing to say. Silence befell them, but not for long as Oscar broke the silence. "I noticed you had fun with the ladies..." He said, trying to start up a conversation because he hated the way they kept acting. "Yes! I had fun. we talked about a lot of things and I really enjoyed it. It felt like we've known

    "Girls.. Welcome!!" Althea said when the tension in in the room was getting out of hand.The ladies walked up to her, their piercing eyes not leaving hers."What in the world was happening?" Lynx exclaimed." I guess two individuals are about making out... " Rachel said jokingly. Althea's face flushed in embarrassment. "I suggest you two get a private Ward to go down memory lane... We perfectly understand that it's been years and you two need to recharge... it's totally understandable!!" Mayra commented, placing the basket she was holding down. Althea couldn't contain the embarrassment anymore ... " Stop it ladies, we really weren't doing anything.. " She defended herself but that earned a chuckle from the ladies. " It's okay with the teasing. Someone's face is about turning tomato red, we can't let it burst open! " Katie said, sitting on the Sofa, together with Mayra...

    Oscar shifted in his sleep as he enjoyed the feeling he was getting on his hair. It felt soothing but after thinking about it and realizing that he was still at the hospital, he jerked up to meet Althea's smiling face. For a moment, he went blank as he didn't know what to say. Deep down, he felt happy seeing her awake but the doctors words to him was still very much audible in his head. That alone made him had mixed feelings.. He didn't know what to feel at the moment, should be be happy or sad. However, he realized that what's done is done and he can't change anything or question fate. He decided to push it aside and just live by the present. Thinking about it constantly will only make him more sadder than he has been. He forced himself to smile, however, he tried to make it look sincere, for her sake and not to get her more worried. "Althea... You're awake!!" He said, reaching out for her cheeks and caressing them slightly. "Yes I am... " She said, her voice low and steady.
