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
Adams and Alicia finally dropped Diane off at school and now it was time for them to leave but Adams clearly wasn't ready to leave."What's wrong? Let's go." Alicia said, staring at Adams who was still staring at Diane's school."I don't know, I just feel like I should be there with her, it's so hard saying goodbye to her." Adams sighed.Alicia couldn't help but chuckle, she clearly understands how he must be feeling right now. "She'll be fine Adams." She walked to him and held his hand. "We'll be back soon to pick her up.""Really? Me too?" He asked, not being able to hide his excitement."Of course, we brought her here together so it's only right we both come to pick her up, unless you're busy."Adams shook his head. "Never! I'll never be too busy for either you or Diane." He smiled. "You haven't really told me the reason you changed her school.""Well..." Alicia bit her bottom lip, she now kinda felt nervous talking about this. "It's actually because of what happened the last time,
Adams and his parents already managed to settle their differences, currently they were now back to their seat, his mother couldn't stop staring at him and smiling so brightly, heavens knows how bad she's missed her son."So Son, why don't you go ahead and tell us what brought you here." Mr Antonio said."Yes. Mom, Dad, what I want to say is really important and I would appreciate it if you two can hear me out." He said with full seriousness."Of course dear, you can tell us anything." Mrs Bridget urged."It's about Alicia." Adams said and the smiles on his parents face instantly vanished, he also didn't fail to notice that."Now before you two say anything, yes we're back together and that's not all, I have a daughter with her.""What!?" Mrs Bridget stated. "No Adams, not this again, I—""Please Mom, please." Adams pleaded."How are you even sure the child is yours? We all know too well that she wasn't pregnant when you two got divorced so what if the child belongs to someone else?""
Mike has just stepped out of the company, he wanted to go run an errand for Adams but then he saw May standing with a man who he knows too well, it's the same man he saw her with the other day, a worker at the company who always seems to be everywhere she is.A deep frown appeared on Mike's face, his guts tells him something is up with the guy, as he's noticed, he never misses any opportunity to be close to May, always running after her like some lost puppy, it's something he hates since she belongs to him and him alone, he's not going to let someone else get close to her.He sharply walked to where they stood, when he got there he wrapped his hand around May's waist."Hey Babe." He kissed her cheek.May froze, she slowly turned to look at him, she really wasn't expecting him to do this, their relationship hasn't been made public yet."B...Babe?" The man stuttered."Ah, I almost forgot..." Mike pulled May closer to him. "I and May are in a relationship, she's my girlfriend, in other w
"What's wrong Joe? Why are you up here smoking? I thought you said you quit." Joe sighed. "You shouldn't be up here May, what about your boyfriend?" He asked, then he tried taking the cigarette from her but then she threw it on the floor and stepped on it."Seriously?" May asked, a look of disappointment on her face, she didn't want to believe that he was up here smoking because of her. May tucked a loosed strand of her hair behind her ear, the wind was quite much up here and it's causing her hair to scatter around. "I...I hope you didn't go back to smoking because of me." She said quietly."Well what can I do!?" Joe half yelled. "I don't think you know this May but I'm in love with you, right from the very first day you started working here, I fell in love with everything about you and I tried telling you so many times but then I never had the courage to do so because I was so sure you didn't feel the same way about me, I never bothered confessing my feelings to you since I was a b
Mike and May finally arrived home, he wanted to leave when he dropped her off but then he saw Adams car parked outside."Adams is here?" He asked with a confused frown on his face."Yeah, he's obviously here for Alicia and Diane." May replied."What!?" He blurted out in shock.May furrowed her brow. "Come on Mike, don't tell me you don't know that they're back together.""What!?" Mike half yelled again and May was surprised by his reaction."Don't give me that look, you were the one who told Adams the truth about Diane too.""What!?"May rolled her eyes. "What is wrong with you? Why are you acting so surprised? Unless..." She trailed, then she gasp. "You didn't know? Adams didn't tell you?" "Of course he didn't! I had no idea that they were back together and the part about me telling him the truth about Diane, I don't understand, when did I do that? I promised Alicia not to tell and I'm quite sure I didn't break that promise." He said with full confidence."You've got to be kidding m
"Mike!" Adams called when he got outside and Mike sharply turned around to look at him."Seriously Adams? You literally kept the most important detail about what happened from me, if May hadn't told me that you and Alicia were back together I never would have known!" Mike half yelled. "I should have heard it from you first rather than having May tell me, I mean we're best friends and never keep things from each other but you kept this one from me.""Mike I'm really sorry, I never meant to not tell you, I just didn't have the chance to and it kept slipping my mind." Adams explained, but Mike wasn't buying it."Forget it, I may not be as important to you as I thought, come on man, I even told you about I and May, the moment we got together you were the first person to know about us and now look what you did, you even have your parents come over and I knew nothing!" "I'm really sorry Mike and please don't say you're not important to me, you know too well that's not true.""Really?" Mike
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
