At Walter's residence, friends and well wishers trot inside the over furnished sitting room in Douglas's quarters.Mr Walter wanted to help in the little way he could even though it was hard. He knew it might take some time before Isa's memory could come back.At least, it would be better than undergoing another surgery. That’s the reason he insisted on having a get together party, hoping that Isa's memory reconnects.He threw a glance at Isa smiling at some people that came by to introduce themselves.She looked really pretty wearing those smiles but her happiness would have been complete if she didn't lose her memory.Moments later, all attention diverted towards a figure. It was Raymond Walter wrapped up in a black designer's suite. “Oh! Son, you came back right on time. You closed the deal quite fast, I guess.” Mr Walter said, hoping nothing had gone wrong with the deal.Raymond halted halfway as his gaze fell on Isabella. He swallowed a lump and let shivers run across his spine.
Douglas pulled the car to a halt in front of Evelyn's Mansion. It was no longer something new for the duo as he drives her home regularly. Especially as Isa lost her memory. He knew it would be hard for Isa to smell a rat around them.In the tinted car, he plastered several kisses on her forehead and cajoled her into having a quick sex with him.As if not enough, he still wouldn't let her leave the car. The thought of going home to meet an empty woman with no memory irritated him. He wished they could spend more time together until he finally finds a way to divorce Isa.Meanwhile, Evelyn was buried in her own thoughts. Thoughts about Isa.What if Isa's memory comes back and she doesn't sign the divorce papers? After all, it was her biggest efforts that raised the company's identity to the top.Wait a minute, what if Isa has been pretending to have a memory loss? What if she paid the doctor to give everyone a fake health report?After all, nobody witnessed her accident. What if she is
So she manipulated Mr Bennett into having a cold heart towards Isa.Some months later, the news of Isa's Mom dying in a ghastly accident spread like wildfire. Isa became so hopeless. She neither ate nor spoke with anyone.Her whole world came crashing down on her head. Ryan was abandoned and brought to her. Seeing him added another torn to her heart. He had a kidney disease that nearly took his life but…Isa's memory began to breach at this point. She squeezed her eyes so tight, wishing it wouldn't stop.She continued holding on, despite the excruciating pains she was feeling in her brain.It was as though she was in a trance. Everything around her was quiet and cold. It was as if she was reborn and starting her life all over.As everything replayed in her memory, her heart was racing and inching for the end. She wanted to see the end of everything and know how it all happened.Then it came. The answer to the query that lingered in her head appeared before her eyes.The sounds of moa
He said and flipped into a transparent shirt that clinged to his body.Isa shoved the feeling she was getting aside. She needed to focus on her plans and in order to get it accomplished, she has sealed her heart from accepting any feelings from any man.“You look extremely beautiful. It's unlike you.” Raymond said, staring at her closely.“What do you mean by it's unlike me?” Isa asked, trying to get his point.“No…nothing…nevermind.” He shrugged. He didn't want to go deeply into her dress code since she lost her memory. He feared that if he told her about her old-fashioned dress codes before she lost her memory, she might go back to it.Earlier that day, Isa went out to do some shopping. Back then when she was working out her ass for the company, she had no time for herself. She worked so hard to take the company's identity to the top without realizing that Douglas had his plans to divorce her.Now, she has decided to use his money anyhow that pleased her after all, she worked hard f
Mrs Rhoda Bennett slammed her foot against the floor, disappointed at Evelyn. Furious that Evelyn couldn't carry any of her traits. If not by now, Evelyn would have been manipulating and maneuvering things her own way just like she did to Mr Bennett.“You have to get that damn ass off that seat and find a solution. Find a solution before it gets late.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett said and grunted at the end of her words.Evelyn walked back into her room and dropped herself on the bed with a muffling sound. Reins of thoughts embedded inside her head but she couldn't get hold of anyone to ponder on.She paused between her thoughts and scoffed at herself. She mocked herself for letting a pauper like Isabella make her pass through hell. She looked around to behold the beauty of herself and everything around her.She lacked nothing. She attended one of the best schools and was born into the Bennett's family; where any man would dream to marry from. In terms of appearance, her skin was brighter and
Look who Isa met at the door. Her eyes swam in gladness and ran it over Crystal's thin body. Crystal pulled back a little and stormed her gaze all over Isa's body.“Wow.” She exclaimed in a mutter. She has never seen Isa look this hot in a blue lace gown that stopped at her thighs, bearing a bold opening that revealed her back.Isa led her inside the house with a smile and showed her a seat. Crystal became embedded with thoughts. The Isa she knew was styleless. She even had images of Isa wearing shirts in pant trousers replaying in her head or was it just her illusion? Even when she initiates the best shopping mugs to her, Isa would decline over a table heaped with files and documents.“What are you staring at?” Isa asked, noticing the intense gaze from Crystal.“Nothing…just that you changed.” Crystal shrugged with a wave. Isa rose and walked to the fridge. Crystal's gaze followed her. She could be mistaken for a model with her nimble steps, aligning with the unusual twinge between h
“I am sorry if my presence wasn't what you expected to see. My boss wants to see you.” “Sorry for yourself. And who is your god-damned boss?” Isa was about to yell back at him but she held back herself.She was tired and weak. All she needed at that moment was rest. Not going to see the face of one annoying billionaire son. But she urged herself to follow the guard.“It will only take an hour.”“An hour is too much.” She mumbled fiercely back to herself.“Maybe some minutes and I will be done with him. And never go to his house ever again.” She cursed under a deep breath and got led by the guard.Isa walked into Raymond's Mansion with faint steps. She wanted to appear strong in Raymond's eyes but her appearance would likely betray her. She was battered emotionally, not aware of her own footsteps. Not also aware that the guard wasn't following behind her anymore.When she finally arrived in front of a giant, polished door, she turned around and didn't see the guard. It was then that s
Isa stares with open mouth as they arrived at the L-shaped kitchen. It was so enormous that she felt that someone could get lost inside of it. Raymond lifted her and placed her on the kitchen unit. She really wanted to help out but got declined by him.She watched him opening one of the under counters and wished she could see the contents of each pantry and cabinets.She wondered what he was making to be perceiving such a sweet fragrance of mixed spices. She looked at him and admired him. Every movement he took made her throat inch for his food. She even wondered who taught him how to prepare food.“Who taught you how to cook?” Isa asked, breaking the deafening silence. He smiled and tilted his head as if thinking of what to say.“The chief cook did. She was like a mother after my Mom.” Isa was surprised to hear him say he had a Mom.“Is your Mom in this house?” She asked, astounded but he scoffed.“I am just playing my card of safety, you know. I know you won't be doing this if your
After narrating everything to Mrs Rhoda Bennett, she was astounded.How? This was exactly the same reason why she went as far as killing him.Unknown to her, he had already written his will where he willed all his properties to Isabella as it dawned on him that she was pretending all along.He called his lawyer who stood as a witness and directed him on where to sign. It was when she started seeing the lawyer around the house that she figured out that he was up to something.She confronted the lawyer who told her that he was about to give all his properties to Isabella who was his identical daughter.She was shocked as to how he found out that he wasn't the biological father of Evelyn. One fateful day, he bribed the lawyer to produce a document containing all of Mr Bennett's properties. When he asked why, she just chuckled like a witch.“You don't have to worry about how he is going to sign on it. Just do your part and leave the rest for me.” She had assured the lawyer who appeared c
After scanning his eyes through the contents in the file, he read audibly for everyone to hear it.“I hope you would still want to get a lawyer involved in this case?” He asked Mrs Rhoda Bennett with a smirk.The impression on her face changed all of a sudden. She became speechless as she got a stunning gaze from Douglas.“Please, don't sentence me to death. I promise to turn myself in.” She cried with a loud whimper but the inspector laughed.“I earlier gave you the chance to turn yourself in but you refused to. I will see you in court during the judgment.” He replied and called in some officers who dragged her out after locking her wrists with handcuffs.She took them to the area where she had disposed of the foxglove plants and showed them the pills she used to get him blind.Douglas was shocked. “So your Mom killed her husband? But why?” He shrieked, miserably.Evelyn kept mute, trying so hard not to look into his face.At this point, he was all she had. If her Mom is found guilt
Douglas and Evelyn rushed to the station once they got the information that their Moms were arrested and being interviewed.By the time the both of them arrived at the station, Mrs Jereni has been locked behind bars and a date has been fixed for court proceedings while Mrs Rhoda Bennett was still kept inside the interview room.She was still claiming innocence and denying her relationship with Mrs Jereni.At a point, the inspector became sick and tired of interrogating her since she wasn't reciprocating to his questions sincerely.The interview room has the same structure of a cell but the difference was clear. A normal metal door, two chairs opposite each other and a desk in the middle.The inspector was sitting opposite Mrs Rhoda Bennett, staring into her face. At the same time, a series of thoughts ran through his mind.This was exactly the same position they both sat a few years ago when they were running an investigation concerning her dead husband.He shot a gaze of hatred at he
“I can't really tell.” Raymond shrugged and climbed inside the van.The inspector stared into space for some minutes as he pondered on the next steps to take.He collected the huge man's cell phone and began to scroll through the call logs.The last call on his phone's call log was the call he made with the person whom Raymond had said was a woman.The number was bare and saved without a name.As he scrolled further, he figured out that the woman had been steadily getting in touch with the huge man.For some seconds, a sigh of relief escaped through his lips. It looked like he had hit the dead end. He just feels like he has gotten everything he needed to catch the main culprit.Suddenly, he paused as another number popped out. It was beyond his expectation as the number was saved with “Mrs Rhoda Bennett's name.He was shocked as to how Mrs Rhoda Bennett was connected to these men.“This is getting really interesting.” He mumbled and shot a quick glance at Raymond, followed by a nod.A
Raymond shot a glance at the taxi's speedometer. It was at its highest but the car wasn't running as fast as he had expected.He urged the driver to drive faster as he could sense danger from afar. Not too far away. The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella. How she was doing, what she might be doing at the moment or what could be going on through her thoughts. He recalled how she pleaded with him not to leave and how she told him it was dangerous outs
Isabella muttered one last prayer before she shifted the laptop to herself to input the password.Sure, she wouldn't let him see the password because she couldn't trust anybody.She added more energy to hasten whatsoever she was doing. She wasn't sure who the suspect was.It could be the chairman but she hoped it shouldn't be him.On her first try, she unlocked the company's shares. She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible. I thought Douglas was a smart man. Why didn't he change the password to the company's shares, kno
As soon as they got inside the upper room, the system operators began to tremble on seeing the police men.The manager had to assure them that they weren't here to get them arrested.“All I need is your cooperation and nothing more.” The inspector mumbled to them to put their hearts at ease.He knew what they were scared of. Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Isa and Raymond walk inside the office.He maintained his steeze as they watched the TV from the moment the duo walked in to the moment the uniformed able bodied men left the morgue with the mor
In the middle of their interaction, a call came in from the Federal Government. One of the ladies picked up the call and pressed the loud speaker button for everyone to hear what they had to say to each other.At this point, the case was resting in the hollow palms of the citizens. They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in. It was so quiet that if a pin was thrown on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly.“They have heard all your complaints and have decided to find the suspects behind the death of the morgue attendant and the patholog
As the cool evening wrapped closer, the police station became crowded as officers trotted out from the inspector general's office.They were all coming from the inspector general's office. He called them after the news reported the death of the lady.Actually, the police station branch where Mrs Rhoda Bennett was arrested had nothing to do with the case of the dead lady but the inspector general took it upon himself to investigate the case.He called the inspector general of that branch and requested that the case be transferred to his own branch.And yes was his answer because they were once good friends.The inspector general called his officers afterwards and commanded them to go and fetch any evidence that could be linked to the death of the lady.“Go out there. Do whatever you have to do to fetch me the cause of the lady's death.” He had said when he was addressing the officers. They were all lined up like soldiers ready for war. Their faces were staring into the empty space whil
