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
Diane's POV"I should get going now , I have a lot of things to do and you need to get packing!""I'll come pick you up myself tommorow and drive you to the airport" I said and she nodded slowly."Sure""See you tommorow" I said and walked out of her house .Immediately I stepped out, I brought out my phone and dialed uncle Tom's number as I walked to my car.Immediately I got into my car he answered the call."It's done, she agreed to leave" I said and he moaned."Better make sure she leaves for real" he replied ."I wonder why you want her to leave so much !""You said it yourself , even if she helped you she always told you to let go of your anger towards Mabel!""As far as I'm concerned, she's bad news and weak!" 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
Diane's POVNext day .....Thursday Morning 8:00am .."Amie ! Amie !" I called out as I banged her door , it was locked and I've been banging for so long she hasn't come out yet .Could she probably still be sleeping by this time when she had a flight to catch.I sighed and stood back , I've been knocking for too long without any success, I need an alternative.I reached for my hair and removed the hair pain I was holding it with.I wasn't really good at using hair pins to open doors but I needed to give this a try.I looked around and made sure no one was staring, so it doesn't look like a break in , no one might actually understand me .I gently pushed the first pin inside and then pushed the second pin and twisted it , like I see people do, and just like magic the door went open ."Amie ?!" I called as I walked into the house.Something has changed , I walked towards her room and pushed the door open.Oh my God I gasped as I slowly walked i to the room and looked around. Apart fro
Mabel's POVLater in the day ....I exhaled deeply as I walked into my office , I already settled things with my parents and now I feel, I don't know better maybe,.I didn't tell them about Diane , I couldn't bring myself to tell them after all she's their daughter too and I'm sure it'll beak their hearts.Especially Mom because she has always been in support of Diane.I hope I get to make things better before it's too late, they'll find out at the right time I'm sure."Where have you been ?!" I heard dwayne asked and I looked up to see him walking into the office."Heyy" I said in greeting as I walked to my seat."I haven't been around I just came in " I said."I know , that's why I'm asking where have you been ?!" He replied."Are you for real?!" I asked scrunching up my nose and he inturn raised his eyes brows at me."Okay fine , I was at my Parent's place " I said."Hmm , parent interesting ,""It's no longer Mrs Baker or Diane's Mom" he said."Yeah , we kind of settled things alr
Mabel's POV5:00 pm ...Outside the hospital ... I parked in front of the hospital, turned off the ignition and turned to look at Dwayne beside me.He looked really nervous and anxious, deep down inside both of us , we don't want to accept it yet but we know Damon is right .I'm just gonna let him do this if it's what he wants to do , regardless I know his love for the boy will never change , my main concern is what he'll do to his mother .I know he doesn't want to tell me but I'm sure if he confirms this he's gonna make some rash decision, Dwayne is quite good at that."Are you ready?!" I asked as I placed my hands on his and gave him a small squeeze , he gave a small nod and I muttered an okay as we stepped out of the car."I guess I'm doing this " he said as I came to stand beside him and we stared at the building."You are " I exhaled, he turned to look at me , reached for my hands and we walked into the hospital.We walked upstairs to meet the doctor, Dwayne had called prior to

Mabel's POVLater that day ....5:00 pm evening...We all stood in front of diane's cell staring at her , me , Dwayne , Dante , Zahra and Amie , she also stood by the gate not saying anything.Dante was in front and she slowly reached out and held his hands in hers ."I failed you, I'm sorry" she whispered to him."I should have been content with you!, Having you was able to make your father change his ways !""But me on the other hand I was too blinded by my anger and jealousy" "You're the perfect child Dante and you're surrounded with so many good people that loves you, I'm pretty confident you won't turn out just like me" she whispered in tears ."Why did you do it Mom, you always told me if I was overwhelmed I should speak up and ask for help!""When all these was overwhelming you why didn't you speak up , why didn't you ask for help?!" He asked and I could tell it was taking him everything to keep his tears from dropping ."I did speak up son, and I asked for help but from the
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
Damon's POVThey kept on pulling me until we got into a larger place I think should be the living room."Well well well, look who came right into my trap!" Uncle Tom said as he walked into the living room."What do you want from me ?!" I growled."Nothing you have Interests me " he replied ."Leave us alone " he said turning to the other guards , they bowed respectfully and walked out."I should give you credit for finding me actually!" 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!" I said and he bursted out laughing ."Remember when I said you owe me your life ?!" He said."You won't get a thing from me !" I gritted ."Oh

Diane's POV12:00 pm ...."Mom would you please tell me what's going on?!" Dante asked as I packed up my things in a suitcase."We can talk about it later , just listen to me and go pack up your things !" I said."

He said."I don't have time for talk right now , we need to leave as soon as possible!""I'll tell you everything once we get somewhere safe !" "We're leaving ?!, Without dad ?!""Why the hell are we going without daddy " he asked again."Will you keep quiet Dante !!, And let me think!""I already told you we'll talk later can you just try to be understanding for once !!"

Dwayne said ."This wasn't the plan" Damon suddenly said and snatched the phone from me."You were supposed to involve me in the abduction plan " he said and we all turned to look at him with wide eyes , uncle Tom wasn't supposed to know he's with us .Sudd
