Ashton has just arrived Alicia's home, he parked his car first and got out, he went to the other side of the car to get the flowers he got her before walking to her doorstep, after taking a deep breath, he rang the doorbell.Alicia was all set, she simply grabbed her bag and went downstairs when she heard the doorbell. Diane was already asleep, she doesn't know if May was asleep already, but she had informed her earlier about her date with Ashton so she didn't bother going to her again.When she opened the door and Ashton saw her, the first thing he said was."Wow, you look so beautiful." He complimented, staring at her with so much love and admiration in his eyes.Alicia smiled. "Thank you."Ashton gave her the flowers he brought for her, she took a sniff and sighed in satisfaction. "They're lovely, thank you Ashton.""You don't have to thank me for anything Alicia, you deserve nothing but the best." Ashton replied. "Shall we?""One moment please." She hurriedly went in to drop the f
Ashton and Alicia were finally done with their date and it was time to leave, when they got outside, Ashton wanted to open the door for Alicia but she stopped him."It's fine Ashton, I won't be going home now." She said and he looked at her."What? Why? Is something wrong?" He asked worriedly."No, everything is alright, I just don't feel like going home yet, I need to get some fresh air." "Well I can come with you, we can walk together, I'll just come back for the car later or ask someone to come get it.'' "You really don't have to do that Ashton, I enjoyed today's dinner and I'm grateful to you but I think I would like to be alone for a while. I hope you can understand." She said softly. "Please don't be mad at me.""No no it's...." Ashton trailed. "It's fine, but are you sure, I'm not comfortable with the idea of leaving you alone, I brought you here so it's only right I take you back, I can just wait for you here if you want to be alone and you can take all the time you need wal
Alicia and Adams had just arrived at Adams mansion, and it was still raining heavily, Adams paid the driver and they both got out, he made sure to cover Alicia with the umbrella, not caring that he was getting drenched.They hurriedly walked to his door step, Adams opened the door and they went in.Adams heaved a deep breath. "That was hectic." He said, slightly shivering. "You should come with me, I hope you won't mind putting on my clothes." Alicia shook her head. "I don't mind." She replied.Adams smiled and led the way upstairs, although she literally knows every corner of the mansion since they had both lived in it for three years.Adams took her to his bedroom, he opened the door and went in but before Alicia followed him in, it took a while, memories of the past came flooding in her head, but they were good memories this time, images of them spending time in this same bedroom which was once theirs."Alicia." Adams called softly."Huh?" She snapped out of her thoughts."Come in
Adams was just waking up and was surprised when he didn't see Alicia in bed."Alicia." He called, thinking maybe she was in the bathroom, but he got no response."Alicia!" He called, but still nothing.He hurriedly got out of bed and put on his trousers, he didn't even bother putting on a shirt and rushed out of the room with his bare body.When Adams got downstairs, he searched everywhere for Alicia, calling out to her but she was nowhere to be seen, he ran his hand through his hair in frustration, he couldn't help but think that she must have left because she regrets what happened last night, but then she had assured him that she wouldn't regret it, she said she wanted what happened to happen, had she asked him to stop then he would have done as she asked."Oh God!" He panicked.Adams was about going back upstairs to get changed and go look for her, but then he heard her voice."Adams." He sharply turned around to see Alicia standing at the doorway, she had a grocery bag in her han
Alicia and Adams has just arrived at Alicia's home, she rang the doorbell and it didn't take long for May to come open the door.When May saw Alicia and Adams together, she had a thousand question that she wants to ask Alicia but she managed to control herself and greeted them instead."I'm really sorry for not informing you that I wasn't going to be home last night, hope you weren't too worried about me." May scoffed. "The one you should apologize to is Diane." She stepped aside to let them in. "She's in the living room watching her favorite show." "Thank you for taking care of Diane." Adams said."You don't have to thank me Adams, Diane is like my daughter, I've always took care of her and I will continue taking care of her for as long as I live, so you don't have to thank me." She replied with a smile.Adams nodded, he truly felt so glad that Alicia and Diane has someone like May in their lives, at least he knows that there's always someone who's going to be looking out for them.
May went to grab a bottle of water from the fridge, then she returned to Adams."Believe me Adams, I'm really happy that you and Alicia has managed to settle your differences and are back together, but I must warn you, I don't want to see Alicia hurt for the second time, neither do I want to see Diane get hurt too." She said with full seriousness."I get what you're saying May, but be rest assured, I swear on my life that the last thing I would do is to hurt either Alicia or our daughter. I was stupid the first time for letting her go and I don't think I can ever forgive myself for what I did to her or the hurtful words I said to her in the past, but I'm willing to be a better person for her and also a good father to Diane, the last thing I would want to do is hurt them."May nodded. "She's been through so much already, it's a miracle she's here today, not just her but Diane too, it wasn't easy carrying the child in her stomach or even birthing her, Alicia went through so much hardshi
May returned to the living room with a small box in her hand, she then gave the box to Adams.Adams took the box from her, staring at it with curiosity. "What's this?" He asked, still staring at the box."I told you, a little present, don't open it until you get home."Alicia looked at May suspiciously. "What in the world are you up to? And why shouldn't he open it until he gets home? Can't he just open it now? I'm so curious." She said, staring at the box in Adams hand."I'm pretty sure Adams will tell you what it is when he finds out, you two will just have to be patient, but I assure you Adams, you'll love what's in there, just make sure you don't cry your eyes out." She chuckled, then she took a sit on the chair beside theirs.Adams nodded. "Thank you, I have no idea what's in it, but I think I'll like it." He replied, he raised the box to his ear and gave it a little shake, there was something in it and he was dying of curiosity to know what's in there, but sadly he needs to wait
Adams was just returning home, he was super stressed and all he wants to do was just take a nice warm shower and collapse on his bed. He had gotten out of his car when he suddenly remembered the box May gave to him."Shit! I almost forgot." He said as he returned to his car and grabbed the box, then he went in.When he got to his room, he dropped the box on his bed and went to his bathroom first, a couple of minutes later, he returned dressed in his night wear. Adams took a sit on his bed and carried the box, he opened it and was surprised to find a CD and a note inside, the note was from May and it says."I know you missed a lot when it comes to Diane, I hope this will help." He put the note back in the box and then went out of his room, there's another room where the television is kept, that's the room he went to, when he arrived, he instantly played the CD and then took a sit to watch it.What played first was a video of Alicia and Diane, Diane was just a baby and Alicia was urgin
The door to the wedding hall opened and all heads turned to look at Alicia, she also couldn't believe that there would be so much people in attendance. The path she would walk had flowers on it and the one who had done that was Diane since she was the made the flower girl. Alicia looked at Adams and she couldn't help but smile, Mr Antonio was right beside her, he was going to walk her down the isle. As he walked her down the isle, everyone began clapping and cheering so loudly. Adams couldn't hold back his tears, his eyes was fixed on Alicia alone, she looked so beautiful and it could only make him realize how lucky he was to have such a woman by his side, they've been through so much together, there's been so many ups and downs, so many obstacles but those challenges had only made them closer and their love stronger. He was so thankful when he proposed to her and she accepted, he had foolishly let a jewel like her go once, but he's never ever going to do that again, this time he's
The first place the police went to search for Ashton was his home, when they arrived they couldn't find him anywhere, then they began searching all the rooms.Meanwhile, Evie who was tied up and locked in Ashton's closet began making muffling screams, alerting the police that were in his room, they hurriedly went to open the closet and were shocked to find a woman tied up in there. The police loosed the rope Ashton had used to tie up her hands and then removed the tape from her mouth.Evie couldn't stop crying and pleading for the police to save her."It's alright Ma'am, you're safe now, you're safe now." The head officer assured her, he then went on to ask her who she was and why she was being locked up in there.When Evie mentioned her name, it instantly ringed a bell. "Evie Blair?" The officer questioned, just to be sure he heard correctly."Yes officer, my name's Evie Blair and I..." Evie trailed when she noticed the look the head officer gave to the other officer beside him."W..
The police has been questioning Adams, asking him about the location of Alicia but he kept on telling them that he doesn't know, they even threatened to torture him so they can get the truth out of him, but Adams words never changed no matter what they said to him.One of the officers interrogating him got so frustrated and was about torturing him when another officer interrupted them, he told them that they just got a tip about Alicia's whereabouts and that she's in Adams company, locked in his office.On hearing this, the officers glared dangerously at Adams. "So that's where you've been keeping her huh? Locked away in your office thinking no one will ever find her right?""W... what?" Adams stuttered in disbelief. He tried speaking with the police, but the wouldn't hear him out, they forced him up and took him back to his cell, telling him to pray hard that nothing bad happens to Alicia otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.The police hurriedly drove to Adams compan
When Ashton left Adams company, he went straight to the police station to lodge a complaint about Alicia missing, he also showed them a text he claimed she sent him, telling him that she was in trouble and that he should come help her. He accused Adams of being the one who kidnapped Alicia and pleaded with the police to save her before Adams does something bad to her.With the evidence he provided and the police knowing that Alicia was a renowned author, they swung into action immediately and went in search of Adams first, not caring about his status in the country. The police went to Adams mansion to look for him but there was no sign of him or anyone at home, just when they were about to leave, Adams car drove in, he and Mike were both confused when they saw the police at his home.They stopped him halfway into his home and asked him to get down from his car, pointing their guns at him and warning him not to try anything otherwise they would be forced to shoot at him."What the hel
It was getting dark, everyone who attended May's funeral had left, Adams stayed back with Mike for a little while longer because Mike wasn't ready to leave then, but now he was, he thought Alicia would be back by now since she's been gone for too long and there's no sign of her anywhere."I'll go look for Alicia, she's meant to have been back by now." Adams said to Mike.Mike nods in reply. "I'll be right here." He said and then he took a sit beside May's grave. Adams looked at him for sometime, he felt so sorry for his best friend, he heaved a deep breath and went to look for Alicia.Adams searched the whole area, he even called out to her but still nothing, he couldn't find her anywhere and that's when he began to panic. He searched everywhere he could but still couldn't find her, in fear he ran back to Mike."I...I can't find Alicia anywhere." He said, breathing heavily."What?" Mike asked as he instantly stood up. "What do you mean you can't find her anywhere?" "I can't find her
Today's May's funeral. Alicia couldn't believe how many people from her work place attended her funeral, each and everyone of them all had nice things to say about her, evidence of how kind she was and how she's lived a good life.Alicia, Mike and Adams all stood in front of her grave holding flowers in their hands, they couldn't bring Diane along so they had her stay with Adams parents. While they both tried to be strong for the sake of Mike, Mike couldn't stop crying. Alicia dropped her flower on May's grave then she told Adams that she needs some time alone, she asked him to be with Mike and that she'll be back once she feels better. Adams understood that she needed sometime alone and simply let her leave.Alicia took a little walk, she went somewhere a bit far from where May's funeral was being held, when she was alone, she was able to let out all her emotions, every memory about May flooded through her head, causing her so much pain and making her weep bitterly. "I'm so sorry Ma
Mike laid on his bed, staring at a photo of May in his hands, he had large dark circles underneath his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, they also seem to have lost their spark. His room was so dark since he had pulled the curtains of the window together, refusing to let in any light.The longer he stared at her, the more the image of her lifeless body appeared in his mind, he's never ever going to be able to forget about that day, thinking about it was driving him even more insane, sometimes he even hallucinate, he sees her everywhere and kept on crying that he wants to be with her."I want to be with you May." He whispered in tears.He kissed her photo and dropped it on his bed, then he slowly got out of bed, since he hasn't eaten or drank anything for three straight days, his body was so weak and he staggered, he almost fell but he quickly held onto the table by his bed side. When he was calm, he slowly walked to his window side and separated the curtains, the moment
The news about May's death already spread across all media like wild fire. Mike, Alicia and Adams were all devastated, but her death hit Mike the hardest, this was the woman he loved and he came home only to meet her lifeless body drowning in a pool of her own blood. The police has already started investigating the case, they had no lead at all as to find out who was responsible for May's murder. They were able to tell that it was a man who's behind this due to the cctv footage outside Mike's apartment but that was all since there was no footage of his face at all, his face was well hidden.The news eventually got to Ashton and the only person he could think of was Evie, afterall, the questions she was asking him about May made him suspicious since he saw no reason why she would leave their original plan and focus on May who's not even important. He grabbed his phone and called Evie, asking her of her whereabouts. Evie gave him her home address and he immediately left his office, head
Marcel was having a drink when he heard a knock on his door, knowing who it was already, he hurriedly went to open the door.The moment Evie walked in, he greeted her but she ignored him, she saw the drink he had poured for himself, took it and went to take a sit on his bed.Marcel was already used to her behavior, so he could only smile when she did this, he went to get another glass and poured himself another drink."How have you been boss? What happened to your face?" He asked, his voice laced with concern and worry."What do you think?" Evie replied, taking a sip of her drink. "A bitch did this to me."When Marcel heard this he was shocked, for all the times he's known Evie, no one has ever dared to hurt her like this. Whoever that person is, they've definitely made a huge mistake."Anyways, she's the same reason why I brought you down here, you're the only one I can trust with a job like this Marcel, so let's get to business." She brought out her phone from her purse and sent a t
