Alicia and May stood outside the operation theater, both women trembling as they paced around the theater, May couldn't stop blaming herself for what happened to Diane, if only she had paid more attention to her then this never would have happened in the first place."It's all my fault, it's all my fault." She wept bitterly.Alicia looked at her, she was in so much pain as well but she went to May to console her. "You never meant for this to happen, it's not your fault.""It's all my fault Alicia, it's all my fault!" May cried out. "If only I had paid more attention to her then this never would have happened, I wasn't paying close attention to her and that's why she got out of the car without me noticing. If anything happens to Diane I would never ever forgive myself, I would never forgive myself." She cried."Shh... nothing is going to happen to her, Diane is going to be alright, she's going to be fine, she's going to be fine." Alicia cried.May slowly dropped to her knees. "I'm so s
It's been hours since Diane's surgery began and the Doctor isn't even out yet, everyone couldn't stop panicking and Adams parents has also arrived since the information got to them.Adams did his best to comfort Alicia, telling her that everything was going to be okay, but nothing was working because as long as her daughter was still in surgery, she's never going to be able to keep calm.Some nurses did hurry out now and then, each time they try asking them anything or getting some information out of them, they just tell them that they're doing all they can and that's all."What the hell is going on!" Alicia half yelled in frustration as she angrily stood up from her seat. "Can someone give me some information about my daughter! Why is this taking so long, please, I just want my baby girl, all I want is my baby girl." She cried.Adams stood up and wrapped his hand around her shoulder, pulling her close to him. "She's going to be fine, she's going to be fine." He reassured."But it's t
Alicia groaned, she placed her hand on her forehead, feeling just a slight headache. She tried opening her eyes but closed them immediately due to the bright lights, but after her eyes adjusted to the lights she reopened them, after realizing where she was, she hurriedly sat up on her bed and that's when she saw Diane beside her and Adams sleeping close to her.Alicia wasted no time in getting off her bed, she quietly went to her daughter's side, tears starting to well up in her eyes."Diane." She muttered in tears as she stroked Diane's hair lovingly. She looks so peaceful and pale. "My baby girl, you're alright, you're alright." She couldn't stop her tears from falling."Thank God you're fine baby, Mommy is here and I'm sorry for letting this happen to you, I promise I won't leave your side honey so please wake up soon, I miss you so much already, I miss you so so much." She cried, then she placed a kiss on Diane's forehead.Her gaze then shifted to Adams and she smiled when she sa
It's been a few weeks since Diane's surgery, thankfully, her recovery has been a fast one and she's even starting to run around the whole house and plays a lot, she's now back to her usual self, but currently they're now living with Adams in his mansion and Diane couldn't be more happy about it since she's always wanted them to live together like one big happy family.Alicia was currently setting the table so they could have breakfast when the doorbell rang. "Hold on baby, I'll go check who it is." She said to Diane and left the Dining room.Alicia got to the door and opened it, but she was surprised to see a lady standing there, a confused frown instantly appeared on her face, the lady was richly dressed, her appearance, everything about her screams of wealth. The lady then took off her sunglasses. Now not only was she richly dressed, she was also so beautiful."Hey." She greeted with a smile. "Err...Who're you?" Alicia asked."Oh, I'm Evie and I'm here to see my love." She replied,
Alicia and Diane were both done with their breakfast and Adams didn't even join them, this didn't sit well with Alicia, in fact nothing at this point is going well with her, she doesn't even like the fact that Adams is letting Evie stay with them, but then what can she do, if she doesn't consent then that would make her look like the bad person here, and she's not about to leave that kind of impression on Evie."Mommy I'm tired, I want to sleep." Diane said, interrupting her thoughts."Okay baby, I'll just clear this up and take you to your room okay?" She replied. Diane nods.Alicia hurriedly cleared the table, when she was done, she went to carry Diane and they both left for her room. When they arrived at Diane's room, she tucked her in and waited until she fell asleep, she made sure everything was okay with her before leaving her to sleep.Alicia stood outside Diane's room contemplating if she should go search for Adams or not, she knew he's going to be with Evie and she wanted to
Alicia has just returned home since she went to drop Diane off at school, her little girl has missed a lot of days due to the accident and she could only hope Diane will be able to cope now that she's back to school.On her way upstairs she ran into Evie, she didn't bother saying anything to her and just wanted to go to her room but Evie stopped her."Please hold on Alicia." She said, causing Alicia to stop dead in her track.When Alicia looked at her, she smiled."What's wrong? You're being a bit cold to me you know, I do try to get along with you but it's like you don't even want me to. Why do I get the feeling that you don't even like and want me to be here.""Maybe it's because I don't." Alicia honestly replied.Evie wasn't even surprised to hear that, she simply scoffed. "Are you sure it's because you don't like me or is something else attached to it?" Evie asked. Alicia frowned. "What do you mean?" "I mean, maybe it's because you're scared, scared that I'm going to take Adams
Evie's car pulled up in front of Babel group. When she got out, she took off her glass, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, she nods her head in satisfaction at what she was seeing."So this is it. BABEL GROUP." She chuckled. "Well Ashton, let's see if you and I and truly alike." She put on her glass and cat walked into the company.When Evie got into the company, she spoke to the receptionist first and requested to see Ashton, but then she was told that he's in a meeting and since she doesn't have an appointment with him she's going to have to wait until he's done. One thing Evie hates to do is wait, she's never had to wait for anything in her life, what she wants she gets at that moment, but since this was something important, she agreed to wait and then she was offered a seat by the receptionist.Ashton's meeting took longer that Evie expected and when he was done, the receptionist informed him about Evie, Ashton was surprised since he had no idea who the lady was, but he stil
Adams was busy working when the door to his office suddenly opened and Evie came running in."Adams..." She squealed in excitement.Adams looked up, he was so surprised to see her there. "Evie?" He said as he stood up from his seat and Evie ran to hug him.Soon his secretary also came running in. "I'm so sorry Sir, I told her that she couldn't just come into your office like that but she wouldn't listen to me, I'm really sorry Sir.'' His secretary apologized with a look of panic on her face."It's okay, she's an acquaintance, you don't have to worry, you may leave."His secretary heaved a deep breath of relief, she thanked him and left."I missed you so much." Evie hugged him even tighter, burying her face in his neck, his scent was so intoxicating, enough to drive her crazy and it was giving her so many wild fantasies of two of them together.Adams sighed deeply and then he gently pulled her away from him. "I didn't expect you to come here." He said calmly.Evie pouted. "Well I was j
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
