Cara sat with Amber in the room trying to voice out her scares and her opinion. A few weeks after she returned to Bana, Jason reached out to her saying it was clear to come home. She sat with Amber, the only person she could trust with her fears and concerns.

Their bags were packed in one corner of the room, the sound of Mason playing roughly in the sitting room with Evans echoed loudly.

"Would you come with me to New York? Please Amber, I can't do this alone. You and everyone are the only family I have left," Cara sought the company of her only friend.

"All my life has been here in Bana, it's going to take a while adjusting to the busy life of New York."

"I'll be with you, all the way. I'll help you, just like the way you've been there for me ever since I found myself here in this small town. Please, don't say no," her eyes were ready to burst out in tears if she ever said no.

Knowing the kind of person Cara was, she finally agreed to go. Moreover she had taken a liking to Evans, let

    Cara returned home to meet a pacing Evans, the veins on his neck shot out and she figured out immediately that Amber had revealed where she went to. Amber sat at the far corner of the room quiet with Mason, her eyes drooped and the house was unusually quiet."Mummy, where have you been? We've been waiting for you," Mason drew her attention to Evans."Cara, where did you go?" Evans' anger boomed throughout the house. "Don't tell me you want to see that bastard who beat you up?"She shifted her gaze to Amber who dropped her head to the floor."Amber, what the fuck? I begged you not to tell him where I was going.""She didn't tell me, I figured out, moreover have you forgotten that your friend can't lie. She tends to burn up immediately when she does, that is one of her weaknesses.""Oh," Cara said, relieving her legs of its pain."So answer my question," Evans faced her again. "Why exactly did you go to see him? We are trying to make this as stealth as possible, not letting anyone know

    Dusk was drawing near and Cara was still nowhere to be found, both men paced up and down the road while Amber sat with Mason, eating ice cream with him."Aunty Amber, what's wrong with daddy and Uncle Evans?""Daddy and Uncle Evans are waiting for mummy. Mummy should be here by now but we don't know why she's not here and it is making everybody worried.""But you don't look worried and you are also sitting with me, eating ice cream," he said innocently."Because I'm not wearing it on my face doesn't mean I'm not worried."Jason brought out his cellphone, trying to ring her line again. Same story, it went straight to voicemail."Is it going through already?" Evans asked with concerns laced in his voice."Not at all, I wonder why her phone will decide not to go through now. Of all days," Jason said."I have an idea, let me go up to the management and see if they can find any details on the flight," Evans suggested. "Stay with Amber and Mason, I'll be back soon."Evans left and Amber sto

    He shook hands with the man just outside his home, his sleeves still rolled up and his hair packed flung everywhere with the haste he walked with."Thank you so much for meeting me at such an ungodly hour Barrister James," Jason thanked the lawyer that prepared the documents for them. He looked at his clothings, and he could see that the Barrister was set for bed. "I see you are set for bed, I'm so sorry for intruding.""Not at all Mr Pierce, it's my pleasure. Please come with me," the barrister led the way to his office with his glasses dangling on his neck, switching on the lights."So you were saying on the phone that one part of the document got stolen?""Yes Barrister, right in front of me, she was attacked," he explained. "I still have mine, can it be used to avert any issue in case the document gets into the wrong hands?""Mr Pierce, the document wasn't prepared like that. It's a complimenting document, one can't work without the other and also the one with you is almost as use

    Cara was released from the hospital the next morning and everybody decided to go home as soon as possible. Amber volunteered to stay with Cara at the McQueen's family house, Evans whined like a baby, hoping she would stay with him instead."We are not even married yet," Amber pushed his right shoulder teasingly."It doesn't matter, at least we are dating and I am man enough to take care of all our needs. Don't stay with Cara, come stay with me instead. I need a lot of pampering," he threw his arms and feet around like a child.Amber couldn't help the sight in front of her, she lowered herself to her knees, supporting herself with it and bursted out with laughter."You..you are such a big baby," she said, still laughing."I'm your big baby Amber," he pouted, hitting her gently with his shoulders.Jason and Cara stood at a lengthy distance away from them. They seemed to be in a more serious conversation than Evans and Amber."Now that the document's gone, what does that mean? Does it me

    2 weeks laterJackson walked into GLAMFORT ENTERPRISES with a file in his hand, both containing Jason and Cara's file signed.He headed down straight to the legal department, asking for the head lawyer in charge."Good morning Sir Jackson, how may I help you this morning," Brian—the head lawyer—stood up, extending a handshake to him. Without a word, Jackson dropped the files on his table and helped himself to a seat. Brian cleared his throat, reclining to his seat. He took a look at the file and read through."Uhmmm, Sir Jackson. We can't accept this," he said."What do you mean?" Jackson's voice boomed from anger."No need to get angry Sir," Brian apologized. "It's just that in the last 72 hours we've received different documents of claims about the company. Madam Cara has yet to say anything about it.""Cara doesn't have to say anything about anything, can't you see the documents laid out before you? Did anyone bring a document of this nature?"Brian looked up with suspicion. "Actu

    Cynthia laid on the floor in her room, the rented apartment Jason got. Her phone beside her, just a few inches above her head.Her mind wandered to the things she had gotten herself into, now it was too late to stop or opt out. Her ringing phone dragged her subconscious mind back to the surface. The caller ID showed Adrian.Tired and frustrated, with no iota of enthusiasm, she picked up at the second ring without saying a word."Is my darling Cynthia pissed at me?" Adrian teased over the phone."Just say what you want and get it over with," she hissed into the phone. "I handed the documents to you, can you please leave me alone now?""Not so fast love, according to the research I made, the documents are useless for now.""I don't care, I held the end of my bargain, be a man and hold yours.""There's no bargain anywhere Cynthia, you mentally had that yourself."She sighed and sat upright. "I don't know how much pain I might have caused you, or caused your family but I swear to my late p

    Just like every other day since the incident of his father going to claim Alexander's company had happened, the chit chat he once had with Cara reduced. He focused on his work, driving his company to the top of the charts. He no longer needed his father's help and had repaid whatever money he loaned him.His intercom buzzed, dragging his attention away from his work."Sir Jason, a package came in for you now. It's from the high court," his secretary divulged the information.At the mention of the high court, his head shot up and his demeanor changed. A wave of satisfaction finally coursing through his entire body."Have it sent to my office immediately.""Yes sir."Immediately, he dialed Cara's number. It went unanswered the first time and he tried again, still the same response.Without wasting too much time, he dialed Amber's phone which she picked immediately."Why's Cara not picking up her phone?" He said into the phone immediately."Well, she's still pissed at your father, thereb

    As soon as Cara pushed the door to the McQueen's door open, the creaking sound of the door echoed throughout the house.When she finally took charge of her father's mansion, she relieved every worker of their duties. Amber stood with open arms and a wide smile on her face."Congratulations," she screamed immediately she saw her enter but Cara's face said otherwise."How did you know?" Cara slumped on the couch with Mason fast asleep on her shoulders."Jason told me. What's wrong? You don't look too good," the space beside Cara deepened as Amber sat in it.She rested her head on the arm of the couch, a long deep sigh escaped from her lips."I messed up Amber, so badly. Today is the first day I'll see a very heartbreaking look on Jason's face, it was so sad.""What happened? Do you want to talk about it?""Remember the stupid way I was behaving ever since I found out about Sir Jackson going to the office. He saw Mason today and he had no idea that Jason had a kid.

    A week laterCynthia laid on the bed in the dark in lingerie, with a glass of fruit wine beside her. A sex toy laid beside her, she had just satisfied herself and was stepping it down with a cold drink. There was no available man and it was only reasonable if she did it herself. A new message on her notification bar caught her attention. Scrolling down, she tapped on it. It was a message from Eli—the private investigator. It contained everything about Jason and Cara's life, most especially Cara's. It was something she could work with, it was more than perfect. She rang Eli's number and he picked it almost immediately.“I got your package, it's more than enough that I can work with,” she said. “I'll have your balance sent to you soon.”“No problem, it was nice doing business with you,” he said, dropping the call before she could say anything else.“You t–” she heard the end button before she could complete her statement. “Asshole,” she mumbled, sitting up to make a transfer and also f

    Like a set of children being scolded, 3 of them stood in front of a grumpy Amber. Evan was so relieved that she had calmed down a bit but he could still see through her how much she boiled.Her scratchy voice filled the air, turning her attention towards the man who unfortunately witnessed the first phase.“What part of getting out did you miss previously?”“I'm sorry I can't leave you all by yourself,” Evans said, taking a step further. Her bloodshot eyes stopped him from taking another one.She scoffed, rolling her eyes and adjusting her head on the pillow. “Funny how you can't leave me now when that was literally all you did.”He knew that no matter the words he said would suffice her. All he had to do was keep quiet and think carefully about choosing his words well.“This is not a fair attitude to any of us,” Cara spoke up, angry and irritated about her present attitude.Amber raised her head gently and fired her a deadly look. “You always had everything you wanted. Did I ask you

    Trying to adjust her eyes to the bright white light shining proved a lot more difficult than she thought. She let out a soft groan and turned her head over to the other side, various tubes and wires were plugged in her head. Her head banged, but not as much as when you had too much to drink.Her leg hit something, she looked down and saw someone sleeping with their head on the bed.Her constant movement had him wake up. “Amber,” Evans rushed to her, checking her face to see if she was alright.Not giving him a response, he pressed the button above her bed. There was no way he was leaving her sight.The nurses entered almost immediately and examined her. “She's fine but we will need her to rest well in order to recuperate her lost energy. And we will be placing a closer look on her, you have nothing to worry about Mr Evans.”“Thank you so much nurse, thank you,” he kept repeating till she was out of sight.Still not saying a word, Amber looked at him like he had suddenly grown 2 heads.

    Concealing her identity with a woolly scarf over her head, a nose mask on her face and sunglasses, she walked out the door past 5. She helped lock the door and kept Stacey's keys where it was supposed to be. She was done for good with her, nothing could bring her back and she hoped there would be nothing of such.She flagged down a cab and gave directions to the house Adrian left in her name. An old place to start a new life.“Isn't it weird to be dressed that way by this time of the day?” The cab driver said, trying to initiate a conversation.Her lips twisted to the itself, giving the impression of being irritated. She lowered the sunglasses a bit and looked in the overhead mirror. “You have a problem with how I dress?”Taken aback by her response, he tried to manage the situation by laughing. “Not at all madam, I'm just trying to start up a conversation with you. That's what I do with every one of my passengers in order to make everywhere lively and possibly get to know them better

    The past 2-3 days in solitude have been worse for Cynthia. She barely talked, still in shock of how dumb she could be. How she didn't let herself read the handwriting on the wall because she believed that Jason would do anything his father wanted. But he had proven to her that he was smarter than all of them. And the only man who ever gave her a chance even though they were both in the wrong, was someone she just unalived. No matter the bad blood between Jason and his father before he died, Jason wasn't going to let this slide. He would make sure to find her till his last days on earth.The time Stacey gave her to vacate her house was drawing closer. In a bid to save her own head too, she had to find a place to live. A secluded place.She had never been fair to Stacey when she thought she had everything at her beck and call but now she understood if she didn't want to accommodate a murderer in the house.The door went open, jolting her out of her bickering.

    Evans rushed towards the doctor going in the opposite direction. He had been in the clinic for the past 2 days with no sign of Amber waking up. Worried he decided to go make more enquiries and not wallow in assumptions.“Hey doc, good morning,” all his words rushed out in one breath. “It's about the lady in the VIP room. What's going on? I can barely see any changes in her.”“You have nothing to worry about Mr Evans. We sedated her and she not waking up is still within the time range of her sedation. If it's beyond 5 days and she's not up, then we'll know when to come in.”“5 days is a lot of time for beating myself up. Is there anything I can do prior to then?”Sensing his frustration and guilt, he decided to ease his burden.“We had to do that because of the amount of blood she lost. Luckily she was brought in in time and we had to do a blood transfusion on her. Just give her enough time to recover, everything will be fine Mr Evans.”Without a second word, he walked away, leaving Ev

    The entire time Amber laid there with various tubes attached to her felt like an eternity to Evans. Cara had taken an excuse to pick Mason up from school while Jason left to clear Evans’ work up. His hand trembled badly as he held on to Amber's. Holding his tears back, he exhaled loudly.“I'm so sorry baby, I'm so sorry,” he kept muttering underneath his breath. “I had no idea I meant that much to you. You shouldn't have gone this far to prove that to me.”His phone rang, diverting his attention away from her. The caller ID had his face rumpled up. The bastard had the right to be calling him even when the love of his life was right beside him struggling for her life.On second thought, he decided to pick up, to hear what he had to say.“John,” he called out on the first pick. “It's been a while, how can I help you?”“Evan, my man,” the excitement in his voice couldn't go unnoticed and he wondered what he had to say.He was desperately trying to keep his anger under the radar and if he

    Not having so much to do and with her son in school, Cara grabbed her phone and decided to say hi to her friend. It's been a while since she showed up at her father's house and saw Amber, not after that incident with Evans. She wondered what he was going to do about it. The company was moving fine and her father's employees were just as loyal to her as they were to him. Deciding not to take any car, she hailed a cab and wondered who to visit first. Evans or Amber?Settling for the latter choice, she gave the address to her father's house. Amber had never called since then and she too was busy trying to get Jason out of his worried state. He feared so much about Cynthia being on the run, worried that she would come after her and Mason. “We are here ma'am,” the cab driver infiltrated her thoughts.“Thank you so much,” she alighted and paid, walking straight to the gate. She pushed the gate open, hoping it was unlocked. Disappointed, she brought out her key and inserted it into the key

    Jason ruffled his hair and sighed in frustration, the clicking of the keyboard pads intensified. This action drew the attention of Cara who was seated on the couch, watching a movie. She paused her movie and carefully stood up without making a sound. Her hands found his way to his shoulders, gently massaging him.He threw his head back and sighed in relief. Her hands continued all the way from his shoulders to his neck, gently applying pressure on it.“Do you want to talk about it?” She said, “you know I listen pretty well.”His eyes were closed, feeling relaxed under her touch. “It's not something you should worry yourself about.”“Is it about Cynthia? Still no sign of her?”“Hmmmmmm,” he nodded his head and sat straight.She took a seat beside him and held his hands together. “Why don't you leave it to the police to find her? You worry too much Jason.”“I do not worry for myself babe, I worry for you and Mason. She's a crazy woman who would do anything to get what she wants. She can
