All eyes were turned on Mrs. Bushman as she stared at the pieces of her shattered phone on the ground. She has had enough. Her husband scolding Frederick was way out of it. He has done worse in the past, like when he burnt Frederick's pinkie finger because he went out to play with neighbors' kids. But this is a whole new level of wrong behavior, Frederick is not a child anymore. It's time he stopped fighting him and let him make his own decision.

She looked directly at her husband and demanded, "stop it"

Her voice was strong but she knew deep down that she didn't stand a chance against her husband. With shaking legs, she stumbled towards Mr. Bushman.

"Please stop this right now!"

Barbara repeated what she said earlier.

"Let my son be. Can't he step out again or is it prohibited for him to do that? What is wrong with you, Alexander? Why are you bent on making his life miserable?"

Barbara fumed.

"This is not about your son, my reputation is at stake here

    EARLIER IN THE DAY..... "You know I love you a lot, Kristen and I will do anything to make you happy. This might not be the best time but please, kindly accept this ring as my token of love" Frederick proposed to Kristen with one knee on the ground. Both were standing before Kristen's bedroom window when Frederick suddenly went on his knees. Kristen just moped at him with mixed feelings. She does know that he loves her and she loves him too, she can accent to that but will love be enough? Can Frederick deal with her family and can she do the same? With fear written all over his face, Frederick thought she would reject his ring, not that it would stop both from marrying each other. A few seconds passed and Kristen said nothing, only staring and when it seems she would say nothing, she accepted. "of course."She stretched forth her finger and he slipped the ring into it then stood up and huddled her into his arms."You don't know how happy I am, do you?""I know how happy

    Driving on the road for close to two hours made Frederick consider taking a plane next time. His father is so rich and he is himself. With private jets to their names yet cutting ties with his family, he had to live moderately. He did not want to get used to a cozy life when his father wasn't ready to heed to his request. He wants to be able to live normally so that when he decides to leave the Bushmans for good, he will have no regrets and this decision was taken about five years ago, the night before he left home. He has gotten used to living like an average guy in society, not that he can't afford luxury but he did not want to have his father's mindset. He parked the car and sighed then got down almost immediately. He has got a problem and that is, he had lost track of Kristen. It appeared to him that the tracker was destroyed because no location was detected anymore. Her last location was at Lyght South's boundary. He had checked for any unusual activity at the border but n

    Kristen opened her slowly and felt a splitting head. She shut her eyes due to the sudden light that graced her eyes. It was too much for her poor eyes to bear. She waited for a while and then groaned before opening them again. She felt a bit strange and when she registered her surroundings, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place. It was white and cold. The headache increased with the passing seconds. It was becoming difficult for her to bear. She tried closing her eyes again but felt her face wet, she was crying unknowingly. She tried bringing her hand to her face to wipe her tears away but she could not and that's when she realized that if she wanted to move her body she could not because some sort of wires were connected to her body. Her body hurts from all the different activities and aches everywhere. Her limbs and fingers hurt too when she tried touching something.Suddenly, she heard voices and after a minute or two, a pair of hands placed themselves in front of he

    Mrs. King sniffed and looked up at him, staring at him for a longer time than necessary. She wondered if this is the man Kristen wants to get married to. With the way he was over Kristen and worrying about her, there was no doubt he was the one. She will be more than happy to know that he is the one. The thoughts warmed her heart that Kristen actually found herself a man who unmistakably will love her, no doubt.Lucian noticed her stares and his mind fled."What would I tell her if she asked after Frederick ?"He panicked in his mind but what he heard next took his fears away in a blink of an eye. It was unbelievable to him"You must be the man my daughter is involved with?" Lucian nodded quickly and smiled to himself, "This is great. It means she doesn't know about Frederick at all.""Oh, my goodness. I am glad that you are here. My daughter will recover quickly "Mrs. King went back to a sobbing mood. Lucian rolled his eyes inwardly but smiled sadly," It hurts me to see her her

    TWO WEEKS LATER... Kristen blinked her eyes severally, her phone screen light was too bright yet she did not want to reduce it. A video has been playing on her phone for a while now but her mind was far away and at the same time, her eyes were fixed on the phone. She sat awkwardly on her bed feeling bored, her mother just left her a few minutes ago, and Lucian had not been around since morning. She was discharged from the hospital a week ago and her mother had insisted she come stay at the family house until she can stand on her feet. She objected to it but Lucian persuaded her to accept, not for her own good but for his. He never wants to give Frederick a chance to find Kristen. He has been doing a pretty good job and he hopes to keep it at that. Anything, human or whatever, that will come between Kristen and him, he wouldn't mind taking care of it. Kristen felt the urge to look away again, to not see anything on her phone's screen. But she kept watching. It is the only thin

    Both ladies turned towards the door. They saw Lucian standing at the door. Lucian looked furious, his dark brown lock slightly messy and unkempt. His eyebrows were furrowed and his jaw was clenched. The anger evident on his face was enough for both ladies to look frightened. Without breaking his glare he said. "If I ever hear you talk to Kristen or even near her like that again or try to hit her, I promise you that you won't be able to walk again because what I will do to your legs, heaven knows." Lucian threatened. He was seething with fury, and his hands formed into tight fists at his side. Cherry gulped and backed off instantly, not daring to move a muscle, her eyes were on his face. She has never been this afraid. Something about Lucian itches her and she can't tell what it is. How he ended up being the man Kristen wants to settle down with doesn't add up because she knows Frederick was supposed to be the man or from what her father told her, Frederick's father has obj

    Kristen picked it up and stared at it. She can swear the picture was not there before. How the picture got there is what she is yet to find out. It was a group photograph. Her dad and two other men. They were almost adults and her father seemed to be the youngest of three men. When she looked closely at the man on her dad's right, it was Stephen."Why would dad have a picture with Stephen? Does it mean they know themselves and who this other man is?"She wondered as she watched the picture closely. She turned the back of the photo and was even more surprised. Their names were Stephen King, Peter Chase, and Daniel Lous. The last name rang a bell and she flipped the picture over again and that's when the realization hit her. The other man was likely to be related to Lucian because Lous is Lucian's last name and both men have a striking resemblance. She was so engrossed watching the picture that she did not realize someone was in the room with her. Lucian cleared his throat an

    "Do you recognize this?" Lucian said, pulling out the photo he had squeezed earlier. Stephen was shocked to see that photo in Lucian's possession. He had made sure that this picture was not seen by anyone. It has been safely kept. How did it get out?"What happened now? Are you shocked to see it?" Lucian mocked him," I hear you are with my woman's s*xtape? Let us start from there" Stephen's stomach lurched at what he heard. He didn't like where this conversation was heading." what will you do about it?""What am I supposed to do about it? Make you give them up of course. Or do you think I am here to joke with you?" Lucian said, leaning forward menacingly. Stephen held his ground trying not to back down under his gaze, but Lucian wasn't giving him an inch. Stephen could feel his heartbeat picking up and the sweat starting to trickle down his body."I don't know what you want me to say"Lucian leaned back, his demeanor changing drastically as he stared hard at Stephen.

    Kristen drove through the address given to her and parked, she quickly got down but was careful not to fall. Her dizziness had returned and her wound had started bleeding. Throughout her drive down to the hotel, she prayed not to pass out in the car. She took a great risk today and it's all for her mother's sake. Getting to the lobby, she inquired and was told Lucian's room number. She took the elevator. Ding! She was moving out of the elevator at full speed with her eyes glued to her phone.

    Wordlessly, Kristen turned and headed out. Annie thought of following her and when Kristen realized that Annie was following her, she gestured for her to stop with her hand. She has no idea what Lucian had planned to do so she can't endanger Annie's life. Kristen thought that after all of these and she survived, she would then reward Annabel for being her backbone. Both have been through thick and thin. She was full of exhaustion yet she was intending to drive herself to that God damned address. If in her terrible condition she can drive from place to this place? What is a thirty-minute journey she can't do? The address was the popular hotel in town, what a joke! If indeed she is getting married to Lucian, wasn't it supposed to be inside a church or something? A wedding inside a hotel, Kristen hadn't seen it all yet. The servants she saw gave her a kind look and with their deepest hearts, they wished she could pull through. But wait? Wasn't Kristen supposed to report this to the

    The phone slipped off Kristen's hand and she went down on the floor, with tears flowing free from her eyes down to her cheeks and disappearing into her dress. It's unbelievable that the lady she saw a while ago was dead, for real? She can't just die. Frederick called and broke the news to her, the fact that Frederick had her number didn't bother her, she was too shocked to even utter a word and worst still, she was blaming herself for Noami's death. She didn't have to die, Kristen wished there was something she could do. Maybe Frederick hadn't kissed her or she hadn't flirted with him earlier, Noami would have still been alive yet deep down, Kristen felt she was not at fault. It was just a kiss, she shouldn't have taken it far and drove off in anger which got her killed however Kristen's heart was pricking her badly and her tears continued to flow nonstop. She was devastated.She forgot all about her tummy and wept. Her face was all red and she felt so weak. She didn't know wh

    Frederick cleared his throat, trying to appear cool and collected, "Naomi what are you doing here." Kristen thought he was acting cold but he was actually flustered.Naomi stepped aside "I was looking for you and saw your car outside. It looks like you are busy."She looked hurt and Kristen could see it."Noami, it's not what you think?" Kristen started to explain but Noami never spared her a glance, she had her attention focused on Frederick, waiting for him to say something at least. "Aren't you going to say anything?" She was in dire need of explanation. She wanted him to tell her that he wasn't the one who initiated the kiss between Kristen and him, it will make her feel better and she could forgive him. Of course, she is aware of their relationship and wouldn't blame Frederick if anything like this was supposed to occur, two souls that love themselves can't be separated. She knew all this yet Noami wanted him for herself, she was hurting deeply, and to make matters worse,

    Kristen watched him stop and turn to face her, she had her eyes fixed on him, not wanting to miss any emotions at all. The silence was deafening that a drop of a pin can be hard. A moment passed, another did and Kristen couldn't take the silence anymore plus the way he was staring at her like he was caught stealing what is his but who steals what they owe? "I don't know why you're watching me like that."She said and continued, "you looked uncomfortable and I wondered why you still don't want to tell me how you know my bedroom." She added with an annoyed tone "so spill, now."He sighed heavily and put his hands in his pockets. Kristen could see he didn't want to do this, she had this feeling he wanted to avoid it just as much as she wanted to know.Kristen took a step forward and demanded "now!" How in the world will he tell her all that he knows, he can't say anything concerning both of them. Not only will it traumatize her, but it could also endanger her and the lost memories will

    As angry as she was that someone had to be knocking at her door, Kristen kept her cool and eventually opened the door to her surprise, she wasn't expecting him to be the one. Her frown dissolved into a smile and she stepped aside. Frederick walked in clutching two paper packs. "You are going out with this broken head of yours?" He asked worriedly and scanned her. Kristen smiled shyly and closed the door then faced him, "What are you doing here? There are two places you should be, the hospital or your girlfriend's place." The way she raised her brows made Frederick chuckle, "you did not even answer my question and you are asking me yours?" He raised one eyebrow."Well yeah, I am going to get what to eat. Can't remember the last time I ate and it's already mid-morning. Don't even know why I left the hospital, I need to be taken care of."She said dramatically and Frederick looked at her with lots of love in his eyes. Kristen lift her eyes and they met, she hadn't seen anyone lo

    Gingerly but hesitantly, Noami stood up expecting Kristen to stop her from leaving. Disappointment was written all over her face and she was finding it hard to hide it. Kristen looked away from her as she waited for Noami to leave. Noami didn't look like Someone ready to leave. She was taking too much time to leave and Kristen's patience was running thin."Damn this lady, she should leave already," Kristen spat angrily in her mind."Won't she ask me to stay and also apologize to me?"Noami thought and took a step and then turned towards the direction of Kristen's face, as if on cue both their eyes met and they stared at each other.The tension was thickening in the room. Noami was staring at Kristen, waiting for her to at least say something, anything. As she saw Kristen remained silent, her anger rose within her and she spoke, "you know what?" She glared at Kristen, pointing her index finger at her angrily, "I was a fool to think I can patch things up with you. I am done trying

    The silence was finally broken by Mrs. King after she could not bear the tension any longer. "You ruined me and my daughter after everything, what did I not do for you?""What exactly did you do for me, marrying me?"Stephen asked coolly, he was trying so hard to put his anger under control. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to do that but he knew one thing for sure, he would explode eventually. "If I haven't forgotten, you begged me to marry you, or are you forgetting that little detail?" He sighed and removed his hand from her face, "Listen, my dear, I am not doing anything wrong. Okay, I admit I had fun with your daughter, of course, sleeping with you and yo.." Whack! A slap landed on his face before he finished his statement. He held his cheek and glared at his wife who had her fingers pointing at his face, "don't you dare, Mr. Stephen King, don't dare speak of my daughter in that manner. I know what you wanted to say, that sleeping with me and my daughter

    Her door closing gave Kristen relief, a peace she thought she would never have washed over her. It felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kristen Chase felt free and the only thing that came to her mind was to dance. She did a little happy dance and collapsed on the bed, hitting her head in the process. She groaned because of the pain yet it didn't stop her from smiling. The pain in her chest has been greater than the one in her head and now the pain in her chest is not there, she can manage the pain in her chest with a smile. Give her a few days and she is back on her feet. "Do you know, baby, that your momma is free?" Kristen patted her belly and smiled, though the father of her child is out in her life, for now, she will take care of her bundle of joy. She might not get back with Lucian ever but she can promise her baby she'll be the greatest mother and be able to love him/her unconditionally. She knew Lucian doesn't love her and she knows he probably won't
