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
Evie has just returned home, she was about going to her room but then she perceived the aroma of something cooking and then she smiled. Alicia must be making lunch for Diane.She quietly walked to the kitchen, being extremely careful not to make any sound that would announce her presence. When she got to the kitchen, she hides and began watching Alicia's every move.Alicia grabbed her spoon and took a scoop from the soup that was cooking, she tastes it and nods her head in satisfaction, she was actually making Diane's favorite dish and she knew how happy her daughter would be when she returns from school and gets a taste of this. A bright smile appeared on her lips, she just couldn't wait for Diane to come home and meet this surprise, she put down the spoon and left the kitchen.When Alicia left, Evie sighed in relief and came out of her hiding place, she hurriedly walked to the pot of soup which was still cooking and opened it."Now how about a little something for your daughter Alic
When Alicia got to Evie's room, she could hear music being played inside and that's when she realized that Evie's actually home.Alicia thought about knocking on the door but she was too pissed to even do that, so she just opened the door and went inside. Evie wasn't even aware of her presence since she was busy partying alone.Alicia looked around her room, she didn't even know that Evie already had some speakers in here and she wondered when she had them installed. She looked for where the wires were being plugged in, when she saw it she walked towards it and pulled it from the sockets, bringing a stop to the music playing."What the....'' Evie trailed when she saw Alicia. "You! What the hell are you doing!? How dare you barge into my room and interrupt my music!" She fumed."How long have you been home Evie?" Alicia asked, ignoring her words."Why? What's your business with how long I've been home? Are you monitoring my movements now?" Evie asked, folding her hands across her chest
Evie waited until she was sure May and Alicia weren't in her bedroom, that's when she came out of the bathroom and the first thing she did was to hurriedly lock her bedroom door just incase May decided to come back again. After that, she limped to where her mirror was and what she saw made her want to scream, but she managed to control herself, her hair was scattered and her scalp was burning so badly, she now has so many bruises on her face and even on her eyes.As Evie stared at her reflection in the mirror, her blood boiled with rage, she didn't even know who May was and what right she had to beat her up this badly. She tried touching the bruise on her left eye but hissed in pain and instantly withdrew her hand."Look what that damn bitch did to me!" She spat in anger. Now she doesn't just have Alicia to deal with, there's also her crazy friend.Sadly, May has just made the biggest mistake of her entire life. No one has ever dared to raise their hands on Evie. Anyone who dares to h
It was time for Adams to return home but there was no sign of him anywhere, Alicia became worried since he never comes home late, she the decides to call him.When Adams answered the call, she let out a breath of relief."What's wrong Adams? Why aren't you home yet? I'm so worried about you.""I know, I'm so sorry, I was going to call you but it skipped my mind, I've got lots of work at the office so I won't be able to come home tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow morning." "You should have called to inform me, Diane woke up and she asked me about you.""I'm really sorry, it's my fault for forgetting." Alicia could tell how stressed out he was from his voice, so she decides to just let it slide and not add to his stress."How's Diane? Has she gone back to bed?""Yes.""I hate it that I can't come home, but if I don't get all this sorted out today then it's going to become an issue later, I'm really sorry for not being able to come home.""It's fine, just don't overdo it or else you g
Alicia was busy playing with Diane when Adams walked in with Evie by his side, first thing she noticed was him holding her hand, then she looked at Evie and the evil smirk the bitch gave her when their gaze locked made her realize that Evie must have said something to Adams because he was looking so pissed at the moment."We need to talk Alicia." Adams said sternly."Not in front of Diane." Alicia replied with a serious look on her face.She told Diane she needs to go have a talk with Adams and will be back soon, she also asked her to wait for her in her room and not come out of her room. Diane wasn't okay with it at first but Alicia assured her that everything was okay, she made sure to calm the little girl first and when she was okay, she left. They all went to the living room and Adams wasted no time in going straight to business."What's this I'm hearing Alicia's? Why would May do this to Evie? Did you really accuse Evie of trying to harm Diane? What in the world happened while I
"Seriously, Adams? You're gonna fall for that?" Alicia asked with an eye roll."What are you talking about Alicia!? Can't you see she just passed out." Adams replied, while trying to get Evie to wake up."She was fine all this while wasn't she? I can't believe you can't see this is just one of her stupid acts to fool you." Alicia half yelled, feeling so pissed by Adams actions."Not now Alicia, please!" Alicia scoffed, she didn't say anything else and simply left for the kitchen, she then returned with a bowl of water. "Move Adams."When Adams looked at her, he was surprised to see her holding a bowl of water. "What do you...." He didn't even get to finish his words before Alicia dumped the whole water on Evie's face.When she did that, Evie instantly coughed loudly and then she sat up, she glared at Alicia and yelled. "What the hell did you do that for!?" She's clearly forgotten that she was only putting an act earlier on.Alicia scoffed in disgust. "Oops, my bad, I thought you fain
"I hope you're happy now, you finally got what you wanted." Evie said to Alicia.Alicia scoffed in disbelief, is she really try to pin this all on her!? "You're impossible, Evie. I seriously can't believe you right now, you were the one who came in here with a motive, if you had just stayed quietly then none of this would have happened, so don't even try to blame me for the things you brought upon yourself. Another mistake you made was bringing my daughter into this and trying to kill her, I'm so glad you confessed to what you did, at least Adams now know the kind of person you are, he now knows you're nothing but a scheming and lying bitch!" Alicia retorted."You really have no idea who you're messing with Alicia, if you think you've won then think again, this isn't over, this isn't the end and I won't accept defeat so easily. You may have succeeded in getting Adams to kick me out but watch out because I always bit back harder and you've bitten more than you can chew already. I will
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
