Martins stood outside watching his helps as they ran around making sure everywhere was intact because his father was visiting alongside his sister , Claire . Since the incident with Carina, Martins cut ties with his sister Claire not only because of her son , Luke but because she also masterminded the plan to kill Carina.

“ Hey man “ Luke’s friend tapped him from behind and he turned to look at him .

“ Hey , When did you arrive ?” Martins asked , His voice was calm , His face pale and his expression rather too depressing.

“ Are you okay man ? You don’t look okay “

“ it’s nothing man , I just…. It’s Carina “ He managed to speak , he couldn’t hide it anymore.

“ Why are you stressing it? It’s obvious she no longer wants you , it’s left for you to move in with your life , Your current mood is affecting your daily life and your business too … It’s unlike you to break down because of a woman” His intention was to make sure Martins was back on his feet but martins was too soake

    Mark had brought an idea that Martins try his best to beg Carina to at least pretend and hide the information about their breakup for a while before he finds time to let his father know about their breakup. “ I don’t know man …What if she doesn’t want to do it, I cannot put myself to ask her what you just said “ Martins sighed. “ So what are you going to do? Tell your dad that you guys broke up and you probably raped her in the past …” Mark replied bluntly, He was still fighting the fact that Martins might have raped Carina, He just had this strong feeling that Carina wasn’t raped by Martins. “ Probably? I raped her …” “ Can we stop talking about this whole issue, it’s something that happened in the past that you guys are still so uncertain about, You can’t even remember that night, The same goes for Carina, Let’s bother about that when you both get a clear image of what happened in the past “ Mark stated, He knew that for martins to heal and try and make peace with himself, He ha

    After hanging up, I grabbed my phone to talk to Mandy, I needed her two cents on what to do. “ Mandy, What’s up, Can we talk, “ I said immediately after the call connected. “ Woah, Hold up, What’s with that voice? Are you okay?” Mandy noticed the tone of my voice. “I can’t say I am, Mandy something came up “ “ What is it?

    The table was set, Martins's father stepped out to handle some issues on the ground, and Claire and Luke kept whispering and muttering words that Luke could hear. “ You know that I’m sitting right next to you right “ Martins frowned and looked away, He wasn’t bothered about Luke and Claire for now but their presence in this meeting he felt was unnecessary. “ So, Where is your bride-to-be? I mean Carina “ Claire giggled, Martins rolled his eye he knew that Luke must have blown his trumpet and told his mother how he was the top hand in Carina finding out even though he would have loved to tell her himself, Luke stripped him off that right making things even more difficult to fix. “ I see no reason why you are in this meeting so I would appreciate it if you make your presence rather not noticeable “ Martins replied. “ Do not talk to my mother like that “ Luke chimed in. “ Another reason why the both of you shouldn’t be at this table, I do not have time for all of this drama, I will

    I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of his statement. "What do you know about tolerance, Luke? I stayed with you for ten years in an abusive marriage. Do you remember that?" I shot back, my voice steady and strong.Claire, never one to miss an opportunity to insult, chimed in. "You have some nerve, Carina."I turned to face her, my gaze unflinching. "And you have none, Claire. You're no longer my mother-in-law, so you can’t boss me around." Her hand shot up as if to slap me, but Martins caught her wrist mid-air."Enough, sister er," he said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument.Martins's father, his patience wearing thin, asked, "Is this marriage still going to hold?"I took a deep breath. "Martins and I need more time," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm.Luke seized the moment, turning to his grandfather. "Carina and Martins broke up. They're just pretending."I turned to face him, a smile playing on my lips. "That's a lie, Luke, and you know it. You always wer

    While Martins left me to have a conversation with Luke, I tried my best not to maintain eye contact with Claire not because I was scared of her but because I was scared of what I might say next. “ So Carina, How has business been going on ?” Martin's father asked and I nodded a smooth smile playing on my face. “ Amazingly well, We are launching a project soon and I will be throwing a party in honor of Madam Katie's birthday. I would like to invite you. A proper invite will be sent out to you ‘’ I replied and Claire let out a huge laugh. “ I have two questions for you and I hope you are honest and give a proper answer” Claire snickered. “ If it's not something stupid then I'm down, I will give you an answer but if it's something rather too stupid, I'm sorry…I won't be wasting my time” I replied bluntly. “ Ahhh you have got quite an attitude” Claire frowned.“I am trying my best to be respectful because of my father here and I know you don't want me giving you a jump kick so make y

You promised me to be strong,Why are you letting your guard down ?” “ I understand Mandy but sometimes it's good to let it out when it hurts so much and right now I'm hurting” I sobbed and she moved closer to me.“ You will be alright, You just need time’’ Mandy said, rubbing my back to ease my stress. After we sat like that for 30 minutes,I let out a heavy sigh. “ I want to visit my family house, Just to see how my mom is doing,She was remorseful for what she did to me and she apologised” I said and Mandy nodded in agreement.“ True,I mean she's your birth mom after all, Aren't you worried you will run into Nelly?” Mandy asked and I snuggled myself in my duvet before replying.“ Worried?

The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from the screen in front of us.
