He suggested."It's easy for you to say that, as if you think of everything before coming here.""I always come in ready.""Look Tristan! You cannot just walk into my life try to r

Maybe he suspects that I only doctored my report to him." The man replied. He one of Samantha's boytoy."This doesn't look good." Samantha told herself or it could also mean that he is not interested in pursuing in knowing the whereabouts of Nicole. She convince herself. "Yes that could be it, since they already met, that bitch! She had the gull to demand that Tristan handed over the money that she didn't worked hard to expand." She told the man on the other end of the line. She is unable to comprehend that finally Tristan is fed up of giving her chances.

Tristan is bewildered by her nonchalant reaction."No, I don't think that you are kidding because I've done my own investigation, and what I learned supports your story.""You don't want to do something about it?""Look here Tristan! What do you expect me to do. Do you want me to expose myself to them and put my children's life in danger?" She replied."No I expected you, if I were you? To come to your husband, that's me to help you out, and seek protection!""Easy for you to say, Mr high and mighty Tristan Hewitt. Do you think I would do that, pop up on you and say 'Dear husband I'm back because I need protection you see you fathered my children and our life is in danger. Besides you already told me that.' ""

"what seem to be the problem Samantha afraid to pick your own size. So pathetic you chose to level yourself with helpless kids." Nicole's words embarrassed her."You!

Nicole was surprised to hear Tristan's voice. "What are you doing Sweetheart. She is under a restraining order banning to approached you!""But Honey it's grandma Helen. I missed her." Nicole pleaded with her husband."We will be violating the order if we tolerated her action." Tristan can't hardly tell Nicole that she is in danger with the other woman."Why Tristan , do you think that I can afford to leave my granddaughter alone because of some suspicions that were fed to her by those people who thinks that I have ulterior motives in helping her before when it was supposed to be your obligation as her husband?" Her long explanation aimed to accused Tristan's past shortcoming to raise Nicole's distrust towards her husband."She is hardly alone. She had people around her who loves her care for her and will never betray her." Tristan retaliated equally with Helen's words."So you are saying I betrayed her?" Helen reacted."Grandma please." Nicole appealed to her grandmother not to ma
Helen had played her role very well. She was able to convince Nicole and even herself that she cared for her and her children over the years. But now the curtain had been raised and her identity is compromise. She had to go ahead in carrying their plans into reality.But there is still one option left to fight. Especially when she saw the animals who kept the Blackburn family's secret. She had to go back to the cave where she saw the animal, and retrieve what ever proofs that was left there. But before that she must do something first ."Nikki you have visitor." Ginger who in the meantime is staying with them in Tristan's mansion told her.Ginger decided to accompany Nicole while she is pregnant because she needs someone to attend with her needs since she is in her final trimester of pregnancy."Who is it?" She asked but before Ginger was able to respond her guest entered the living room."How are you Nikki?""Grandma! What are you doing here?" She was so surprised to see Helen, she
"Daddy look at how huge Snow has become!" Moira ran towards the beast who after a few weeks have grown bigger.Although the animal is considered dangerous the children can easily approached and play with it they touch it and rub it's fur and the animal seems to like it and welcome their presence.Everytime Nicole looked at the animal she recalled what her children said but, with different account. Thinking about it. it might be true that Moira saw Helen. But why did she retreat.She wonder if Mark really saw Athena, she knows that Athena was in the area. But what could be the reason she hurriedly left. No matter what she had said that she was with the other group it cannot deny the fact that Mark heard her ordered her men to refrain from shooting. Could it be that Mark had mistaken in seeing Athena? Why? "Ohhh I should erase this speculations from my mind." She told her self recalling what Tristan told her to stop thinking of things that leave her stressed out."What do you mean th

She also felt responsible for Jonathan becoming crippled after saving her from the planned accident.

The process of finding proofs of Sam and Helen involvement to Terence Black had so many twist and turn but failed to satisfy their goal. Helen and Samantha applied for bail but only Helen was able to pay for her bail.Disappointed Sam felt that Terence had withdrawn his support to her. "I am sorry Sam or Geena. I can represent you and defend you as Geena Blake we can find loop holes in your case. But you are convicted as Samantha grey your previous identity, and the prosecution had your DNA results that matches with your new identity as Geena Blake." Her lawyer explained to her."What happens now Attorney?" She asked feeling low and helpless."Since you are convicted as Samantha you have to serve that. While we appeal for that case, we will be facing your identity theft and accessory to the crime of Terence Black, If he will be found not guilty then you are free. But if he is found guilty then your in big trouble. You will still have to defend yourself from using the identity of
"I don't know what to say. Sweetheart, but we are working to investigate everything. If your mother is still alive, I'm sure there's no other decision she would have but to go home to her family.

She sighed. Tristan looked at her simply wondering when can he get away with the guilt that he deny her of the knowledge about her mother."Just try to keep from being stress I think there will come a time that all this things will be all behind us."In another place Terence is furious about the news.

She unconsciously had been putting herself and the baby at risk."Honey can I asked you something?" Nicole looked at her husband appealing."What is it?" "Can you tell me why did you say? That I put my trust in the wrong people." Tristan
"Why Helen are you still denying everything?" Morgana confronted Helen with all that she knows but she continued to deny. " Because you are fabricating a story that makes me look that I am the traitor to my own granddaughter. After everything that we have been through in building this company you have the nerve to say it to my face? What do you get out of this?" Helen defended."
