I opened my eyes feeling my head ache , where was I ? What’s the place ? I sat up and I scanned around , What was happening?.“ She’s awake !” I heard someone shouted , Was I asleep for a long time . “ Where am I ?” I asked scratching the back of my head . “ Don’t you remember me ?” The man standing beside the old lady asked me and I shaked my head , I was feeling a banging pain at the back of my head . “ please can I get water ?” I asked and one of them ran out and in no time , he came in with a glass of water , i gulped down the can of water but it still didn’t quench my taste .“ Can I get another one ?” I asked again and he nodded . “ Yeah sure… I will get you another one “ He said and ran out . The old lady walked closer to me , she looked at my eyes and I drifted away , for some reason I felt like she wanted to hit me and before I knew it , my reflexes was fast enough to make me flinch . “ I don’t want to hurt you , i just want to check if you are okay “ She said and I no
An image of me boarding a plane heading to London flashed ih my head, I remembered the trip and where I was heading . “ Yes ! London …. I’m going to London “ I repeated , I turned to Richard and his mom and I nodded my head, I was sure of what l was saying. London was my destination.“ Do you remember anything else ?” He asked and I tried to think but I felt this sharp headache , It was a constant ache and it kept occurring as I tried to remember anything at all . “ You don’t have to stress your head , We will take you to the hospital right now and a professional will attend to you , Hopefully you will remember with time “ She said to me and I nodded . “ If I May I ask, What is your name please and his too “ I said “ Sarah and that’s my son … Richard , He was the one that brought you home to me , Do you remember?” She replied . I felt completely useless as I tried to remember every single thing and I couldn’t get any of it correctly. “ I can’t seem to remember but Thank you s
I figured out my brain was picking out memories of a particular person to remember the memory but it wasn’t enough, This was the second name now but I couldn’t remember anything more than random facts on the person . “ Madam Katie … You just said she was the brain behind your study abroad , Right ?” Richard asked and I nodded . “ Yes … She was also the woman that gave me a contact Info to reach out to her when I get to London , The blurry images of the woman I was always laughing with , She was the one … it’s clear now “ I replied and Sarah nodded . “ You guys must be really close, She must be really worried about you and your whereabouts “Sarah sighed . “ Mon … We will continue tomorrow, You have to rest first … The doctor said you need a lot of it” After we had dinner , I went to bed, immediately I closed my eyes to sleep it was as though I was in another world , Several memory was flashing in causing me to feel my head ache but I remained quiet and let it flow , I started to r
I logged into the bank that madam Katie had created for me and funded for my upkeep in London, it was loaded with millions and to my surprise, The bank account was still very much active . A day before I decided to make the transaction, I used Sarah’s phone to search about the accident, and photos of my supposed burial ceremony were flooded online, I saw Madam Katie few times after zooming, She looked devasted and Martins too …Captures of my daughter alongside my husband, Luke standing at the side of my coffin brought tears to my eye, I felt like something else was missing while I stare at my husband, It didn’t feel right but the only thing that I could remember that he was my husband. So it was already published that my body was found and my parents had confirmed that I was the body found, it was shocking because if I’m alive then who is in the casket . “ What are you thinking about ?” Richard tapped my shoulders and I was brought back to reality. “ Do you remember the bank detai
It was finally time to leave Sarah’s house and yet there was still no news from Madam Katie, Well maybe it was too early or she hadn’t found a way to reach out to me yet but from what I saw on the internet and with madam Katie’s connections, I was expecting that she must have put a call across to Richard or maybe my expectations were too high. I packed the essentials that madam Katie made ready for me and we were set to go to the airport, I was heading to London, I had no idea how I was going to survive but someone it was going to be possible When I was leaving for London before the plane crash, Madam Katie arranged a service to pick us from the airport and to our accommodation but unfortunately it wasn’t possible, I knew the name of the institution and the town it was located, I just had to get to madam Katie’s sister. The drive to the airport was quiet and slow, Richard’s eyes were focused on the road, Sarah was in the front seat while I sat in the backseat with my eyes fixed outs
Madam Katie was getting ready for a meeting in Paris, Since Carina’s death she and Martins had taken a break from work, Just a few weeks ago Martins left for London, He didn’t want to be around memories of Carina and it was even worse now that he overheard his sister saying luke was getting married to Nelly in no time, His rivalry with Luke only ended because madam Katie had talked him out of any type of war with Luke, in her defense she wanted Carina to Rest In Peace. “ Is my car ready ?” Madam Katie asked the driver as she got ready, He nodded.“ Make sure everything I need for this flight is ready! I don’t want no mistakes “ She commanded. “ Everything is ready “ “ Did you inform my housekeeper in Paris that we are coming?” She asked and he nodded.“ We informed her last night “ “ Fair enough…” Madam Katie grabbed her bag and her driver offered to help her with it. “ Ohh you don’t have to worry about that, Let’s go “ She and her driver headed outside, He opened the car door f
“ Carina…” Martins eyes widened in shock, Was this a look alike or was it a look alike, He didn’t care. Although their eyes didn’t meet, he knew that he saw Carina . “ Was that the car that was drove pass us ?” Martins asked pointing at a black car. “ Mister Martins , Several cars drove pass us , Which car are you talking about?” “ People sure know how to take risk ….. You made that statement after you saw a lady brought her head out of a car , Right ?” Martins said in a hurry trying to make his driver remember the car so they can follow it . “ That was few minutes ago ….” “ What was the car like ! Follow the car “ “ Mister Martins , I’m sorry but I don’t even know this car we are talking about “ “ So are you telling me that I lost her “ Martins sighed . “ Lost who ?” The driver asked.“ Never mind …” Martins sighed , His eyes fixed outside the window, What if he was hallucinating?Since the news of carina’s death was announced and after he watched her coffin being buried,
Martins opened his hotel room and took a deep breath , He sighed and threw himself in his bed , Was it just an hallucination or was it because he missed Carina too much , He didn’t understand what was going on with him and how he could possibly control himself, He was slowly loosing it since Carina died , He couldn’t control his anger anymore , his heart was cold and he felt rage whenever he saw luke and his mother , He had to leave the country to avoid doing something that he was going to regret later on . “ Martins … She’s dead , You have to move on with your life “ Martins whispered to himself after a while , He stood up and spoke again . “ How can u possibly forget about her when she lives rent free in my head , I can’t help it , Should I see my therapist this week , i am seeing things” Martins kept on repeating himself as he paced around the room . He picked up his phone to call madam Katie and tell her what had happened to him but he didn’t, it hasn’t been easy on the old lad
Dear Diary It’s been three years since everything changed. Sometimes I still marvel at how quickly life can transform from chaos to calm, from pain to peace. I’m sitting in my room now, surrounded by the comforting hum of everyday life, and I feel compelled to capture this moment, to reflect on how far we’ve come, Everyday I wonder if it's a dream but I don't think I want to ever wake up from this dream,I am finally happy, Over the years things have changed but let me take you on the ride. Martins and I are happily married,Ohh and our wedding was the talk of the town, Every day with him feels like a blessing. We have twins now, A beautiful girl and a boy, Their laughter fills our home, and watching them grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life, Leah won't stop thanking us for giving her siblings, She has settled into junior high school remarkably well. She’s blossomed into a bright, confident young woman, and I couldn’t be prouder, The stigma that her father was a murder
I felt a surge of excitement that I couldn’t contain. I wanted to share the incredible news about our engagement with the people who had supported me throughout this journey. Without hesitation, I reached for my phone and dialed Madam Katie’s number.“Hello?” Madam Katie’s warm voice greeted me.“Madam Katie! It’s Carina,” I said, barely able to keep the excitement out of my voice. “I have some wonderful news to share with you!”“Oh, Carina! What’s going on?” she asked, her tone immediately brightening.“I’m engaged!” I blurted out. “Martins proposed to me tonight here in Jeju, and I said yes!”There was a brief pause before Madam Katie’s delighted gasp came through the line. “Oh, Carina, that’s wonderful! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both.”“Thank you! I wish you could have been here to celebrate with us,” I said, my voice filled with happiness. “We had a perfect evening. The setting was beautiful, and the proposal was just as magical as I’d hoped it would be.”“I’m sure it
Martins and I had spent a perfect week exploring the island, soaking in its natural beauty, and trying out new experiences. Today was our last day, and I couldn’t believe how quickly the time had flown by. I’d been recording every moment for a special video, capturing the highlights of our trip.After finishing up my latest video segment about our visit to a stunning waterfall, I was excited to see what Martins had planned for our final evening. He had hinted at a surprise, and the anticipation made my heart race.As we walked back to our accommodation, Martins was unusually quiet, his gaze occasionally shifting to me with a secretive smile. I couldn’t help but wonder what he had in store. When we reached our place, he helped me get ready, making sure I looked my best for whatever the evening had in store.A private car soon arrived to take us to a special restaurant Martins had booked. The ride through the picturesque streets of Jeju felt almost surreal, with the soft evening light c
Carina and Martins prepared for their much-anticipated trip to Jeju Island, the air was filled with a mix of excitement and relief. They had dropped Leah off with Mandy, who was more than happy to look after her. Carina had managed to give Leah a quick hug and a few reassuring words before they left. The bittersweet feeling of leaving Leah behind was softened by the knowledge that she was in good hands. Mandy and Leah stood at the airport, waving goodbye as Carina and Martins made their way to the boarding gate.The airport was bustling with activity, but Carina felt a sense of calm wash over her as they approached the gate. She and Martins had been looking forward to this trip for weeks. It was their chance to unwind and escape the chaos that had dominated their lives recently.As they boarded the plane, Carina felt a flutter of anticipation. She and Martins settled into their seats, and Carina glanced around the cabin, noting the comforting familiarity of their private space. The pl
yMartins had sent a message about a special trip we were taking together to Jeju Island. I couldn’t wait to escape, even if just for a little while. As I approached the front door, I could already feel the excitement bubbling up inside me.Martins greeted me with a warm hug as soon as I walked in. His eyes sparkled with genuine happiness, something I hadn’t seen in a long time. “You made it! I was starting to think you might change your mind.”“Never,” I said, smiling up at him. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”We shared a soft kiss, and it was like the world outside ceased to exist. All the trials and tribulations seemed to vanish for that moment, and it was just the two of us. Martins took my hand and led me to the living room where soft music played in the background. He had set up a cozy space for us to unwind. There was a bottle of wine chilling in a bucket, and he poured us each a glass as we settled into a slow dance.The music was soft, almost ethereal, and as we swayed
The gala party incident had become the talk of the town. Social media buzzed with clips of the shocking revelations and the dramatic arrests of Luke, Claire, and Nelly. News outlets dissected every detail, and the public eagerly awaited the legal proceedings. Carina's bravery in exposing her tormentors was widely praised, but now, the focus shifted to the consequences for those who had wronged her.Claire was the first to be investigated. She sat in the interrogation room, her face a mask of defiance. Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, she maintained her silence."Mrs. Grant, we have substantial evidence against you," the lead detective said, his tone firm but not unkind. "Your best option is to cooperate."Claire’s lawyer, a sharp-eyed man in a tailored suit, leaned forward. "Claire, listen to me. The evidence is irrefutable. If you plead guilty and cooperate, we might be able to negotiate a lighter sentence."Claire’s eyes flashed with anger and fear. She looked at her l
I woke up on the morning of the gala with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation. Today was the day we would finally expose Luke, Nelly, and Claire for their crimes. But first, I had to make sure Leah was safe. Mandy and I drove to her niece’s house, where Leah would stay for the night. Mandy’s niece was a sweet, responsible young woman who adored Leah, and I felt confident she was in good hands. “Thank you so much for taking care of her,” I said to Mandy’s niece as I hugged Leah goodbye. “Of course, Carina. She’ll be safe with me,” she assured me with a warm smile. Leaving Leah behind, I drove to the event hall where the gala would be held. The place was a hive of activity, with people bustling around, setting up decorations, arranging seating, and checking sound equipment. Everything had to be perfect for tonight. I walked around, ensuring that all the preparations were on track. Satisfied with the progress, I headed back home where my fashion designer was waiting for me.
I sat in Madam Katie’s cozy living room, the weight of anticipation heavy in the air. Mandy, Martins, and Madam Katie were with me, all of us gathered to watch the video that Miguel had sent. The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from the screen in front of us. My heart pounded in my chest as I pressed play, and the recording started.Miguel's face appeared on the screen, his eyes filled with a mix of regret and determination. He began to speak, detailing his involvement in Luke’s dirty dealings, Nelly’s scheming, and Claire’s cold-blooded actions. As the video played, the room grew eerily silent, each of us hanging on every word.When the video ended, I looked around at the others. Mandy’s face was pale, her eyes wide with shock. Martins sat with his head in his hands, and Madam Katie had a look of grim determination.Martins was the first to break the silence. “I can’t believe it. My own sister... she killed her husband.” He looked up, his eyes meeting mine. “She acted so de
Carlos felt a strange mix of satisfaction as he walked into the headquarters of the Mexico police. After days of meticulous planning and gathering evidence, he was finally ready to bring Miguel down. The evidence he had collected was damning, enough to put Miguel away for life and bring justice for all his victims. Carlos handed over a thick file to the lead investigator, a stern-faced woman named Inspector Rodriguez."We've been looking for Miguel for a long time," Inspector Rodriguez said, flipping through the documents. "This is exactly what we needed."Carlos nodded. "I'm ready to play my part. I have been undercover as Miguel's right-hand man for some time now. I can lead him right into your trap."Inspector Rodriguez looked at Carlos with a mix of admiration and concern. "You know the risks, Carlos. If Miguel suspects anything, you're a dead man."Carlos's jaw tightened. "I know. But this is the only way to bring him down."The next day, Carlos slipped back into his undercover
