Mabel's POVAt the Company ....I stepped out of my car with a small frown on my face. I could feel the anger in me reflecting on my face but I didn't care at all.I slowly walked into the company not in the mood to respond to any greeting or even open my mouth at all.I walked directly to my office and took a seat.We're having a grand reopening very soon , probably next two weeks and there's still a lot I have to put in place.I was thinking we should leave the reopening till after Diane , Uncle Tom and Damon are behind bars , but I'll talk to Dwayne about it first."Hey Mabel !" I heard Dwayne call as he walked into my office."Hey" I whispered."What happened? I saw you walk in you didn't even respond to anyone's greeting""Which is very unlike you" he asked coming to seat in front of my table ."Nothing" I replied."No, it's not nothing, come on, talk to me who got you angry this morning?" he asked an I exhaled deeply."It was my Mom, she came over to the house this morning" I s

"Can you be any more understanding?!""This is a very critical period for the company and we're really busy""You leave very early in the morning and by the time I get back you're already asleep or not yet back!""And I'm supposed to be blamed for that?!" He asked."How do you think Dante is feeling seeing his parents live this way""You don't have to worry about Dante, he's fine !" He replied."But I'm not!" I snapped."That's for you to deal with, don't involve me in that!" He replied."Because I really don't know what exactly you want ""Tell you what , you're becoming too petty, demanding and
Mabel's POVAt Dwayne's house..."Mom" Dwayne whispered as he walked into the room where his mom was."Mom " he repeated, immediately he saw she was awake and seated on the sofa , he pulled her into an hug."Take it easy" the doctor said , he loosened his grip on her but he didn't let go."What's going on here?" she whispered."Oh no ! Oh no!" Dwayne said as he let go of her and turned to face the doctor "What's going on with her ?!" He asked."I'm afraid she had been showing symptoms of amnesia immediately she woke up!""I already told you to expect stuff like this , she was in coma a really long time""Fourteen years isn't fourteen days " the doctor replied and I walked up to them immediately."She could be faking it" I whispered."Trust me I know , I faked it too after I came out of coma ""How sure are you that she really can't remember any of us " I asked."She isn't faking it ma'am, I've been watching her ever since , if she was she would have even it away but she isn't " he re
Mabel's POV4:00 pm ....I walked into the balcony just to get some air , I held the railings as I stared into the sky until my eyes could no longer take it.I looked down and my eyes caught a masculine structure seated on the table by the pool with Zahra.I blinked my eyes, not sure of what I was seeing, probably I was blinded by staring in the sky for so long. I closed my eyes for a while and looked down back , he had even turned to seat in a way that confirmed he was actually downstairs.They appeared to be in a serious conversation, I wanted to go downstairs to meet them but I decided against .I let them have their little father and daughter moment, they both deserved that!I moved backwards and took my seat so they don't see me.How come Dwayne is here and I did not even have any idea?!After a while I couldn't take it again, curiosity was taking the better part of me and I decided to go downstairs also."Mom" Zahra called immediately I got downstairs and Dwayne turned to look
Next day ...Wednesday morning 11:00 am ...Zahra's POV "What's going on ? You look sour " I asked Dante as he picked on his food .He had been a little peevish since morning."Was my dad at your place yesterday night ?!" He asked and I reached out immediately and placed my hands on his."Dante" I called."You can tell me what's going on" I said."It's my mom and Dad" "They've been fighting a lot recently" he said and I slowly retrieved my hands from his."And you think it's my mom's fault?!" I asked and he turned to look at me."I'm sorry " he whispered."But she's constantly mentioned in all of their arguments" he said."And what did dad say?!""That she doesn't have anything to do with anything that's going on!""So why don't you trust him?!" I asked and he just stared at me speechlessly.He sighed and looked down at his food as he picked up his fork again."I don't know " he exhaled."Yes , dad was at our place yesterday but he was with me not my Mom ""My mom didn't he know he

He said."Don't call her weak, she's not that!" I retorted as I connected my phone to my Airpod , placed it in my ear and drove out ."If she works along side us , she'll be our weakness""She won't be able to take all the havoc we'll wreck, just to cover up our dirty sec
Mabel's POV"Amie?!" Dwayne called surprised , standing up."What are you doing here ?!How did you get in here?!" I asked immediately."How I got in here is not the issue , why I'm here is !" She said ."And I'm not here alone I brought company " she said as she turned to face the entrance and signal the person there to come in , or should I say two?!I looked up at the door and saw Damon slowly walk in with another guy ."What?!" I yelled."Get this people out of here ?!" I yelled."Neil?!" I heard Dwayne whispered as he moved closer to the guy Damon had walked in with."You know him?!" I asked."They're dangerous Dwayne ?!""Calm down I think they're on to something " he said to me."Neil , what are you doing here ?!" He asked again."It's good to see you too , mate " the Neil guy said and they pulled themselves into an hug ."It's been so long , it's good to see you again?!" He said as they disengaged."Are you forgetting something?! Damon and Diane's best friend are here ?!" I whi
Mabel's POV 7:30 pm ... "Can I be left alone please?!" Dwayne whispered, immediately I walked to the tree shed where he was seated. Everyone had dispersed and gone to their house after discussing safety measures we were going to take. Everywhere was starting to get quite dark but he still hasn't move an inch from where he sat for almost two hours now. When Michelle came back, I filled her in on the development , she asked me to just let him be but now it's getting to long . I needed to make sure he isn't gave silly thoughts already. He sat quietly there with his elbows on his legs and his jaws resting on his palm. Only God know what he could be going through right now , having to discover in this extremely rude way that the boy he had loved and trained for the past thirteen years wasn't his. Diane must have pinned this down on him to make him stay, knowing nothing else will. This is the highest form of being desperate! She had to hurt someone else just to make sure she's happ

Dwayne's POV Meanwhile .... "Is she here!!" I asked the guy I called earlier immediately I got into the airport. We've gone to about three airports today but she wasn't in any one of them , but thankfully the contact Neil gave us was able to contact his other colleagues in other airports to relay the message. I hope and prayed she's here because I've had too many stress for today. "She's in the waiting room, we delayed her there !" He replied. "Thank you so much" I whispered and we quickly dashed there. Immediately we got into the room , we looked around and there she was with a shawl over her head and a sun glasses on, she kept on looking anxiously around like she could not wait to get the hell out of that place. The cops with me quickly walked out to her , he tapped her and immediately she turned to face him he pointed a gun at her, and everyone there with her broke out into light gasps . "You're under arrest, anything you say or do now will be used against you in the court

He said immediately they walked out."Just go ahead and kill me already!,""That's what you know how to do best right, killing people to cover up your crimes !""Your ruling days are over uncle , the Fords will find a way to defeat you!" I spat"So far they have been doing a really terrible job, look I'm still standing about to mess your life up!" He said ."Not for too long uncle !, Trust me not for too long!"
