    "He said one thing at a time and promised everything is going to be alright" I said sitting down on the couch and stretching out my legs. It's been a really long day and my legs are aching badly. A massage would be such a bad idea right now. I desperately need one"Ana, do you think am stupid?" I asked"What? No, not at all" she answered quickly and I smiled"You are a good friend and I know you love me but I need an honest answer this time please" I said to her"Mia, you are the smartest woman that I know, I don't think you are stupid, you just made some wrong choices that's all and hell, who doesn't at some point?" She said"I'm not so sure about the smart part" I said as I started to get emotional again and tears started to line up"Mia, opening your heart to someone doesn't make you stupid, you were in love, it's not something that you can control, we can't control who we love" she said in a sweet voice"I don't know, I feel really stupid, I feel so empty" I said sobbing"Hey stop

    "Liam took me there to see a building, he wanted me to start up private practice there, to start my own firm in the middle of nowhere. His wife said some things about him being an isolator and a control freak and am seeing that now"This is bad Mia" she said taking a sip from her glass then her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number. She picked up"Hello, who is this?" She asked"Hi Ana, this is Liam" he replied "It's Liam" she said to me"What?" I asked coming closer and whispering to her to put it on speaker"How the hell did you get this number?" she asked him"I just spoke to my lawyer, we really need to talk to Mia, it's really important, is she there with you?" He asked ignoring Ana's question"No she is not, whatever you want to tell her, you can tell it to me, i will just pass it on later" she said to him"I know you don't know me like that but I promise I didn't do all these things am being charged for, am innocent.

    Mia PoVWhen we got to Ana's place, I sat down like someone whom the body was present but the mind was absent. Ana went over to her fridge and got out a bottle of alcohol and two glass cups. We came over to the couch and dropped them on the table then poured out the drinks into the two cups, and slide one my way as she took up her own glass and drank from it, a slight frown appeared on her face as she did"Are you going to tell me what happened now?" She said taking another sip"He was laundering money and dealing with really dangerous people" I said still sitting still"What? Mia did you know about this?" She asked surprised"No, I did not. You know I can never involve myself in something like that. Why would you even ask that" I said looking at her"Then why are they in your house and taking all your stuff?" She asked still doubting that I didn't know anything at all about the crimes "He asked me to move some money into my account but that was to keep it away from his wife, not bec

    Ana's PovI drove over to Mia's place after she said not to come pick her again, I waiting for over an hour but she didn't come in, so I went across the street to get dinner but when I came back up the door was unlocked and wide open and there were police all over the place tossing everything around and moving things. I was so shocked I thought I went to the wrong room, but looking inside I realized I didn't go to the wrong room, I am at the right room, all of Mia's properties were there and the police officers were just touching everything."What the heck? What is going on here?" I asked as one police officer rushed out to stop me from entering the premises "is Mia inside that house?" I asked the police officer but before he was able to respond, Mia showed up, she was coming from the stairs and has no idea about all of this."You again?" She said to the police officer that came out to stop me from entering the place, I guess they know each other or have met at least"What the hell is

    "Good news, he accepted to let you meet with him, he should be here any second" he said and I breathed out in relief and my face brightened up"Thank you" I said happy he did me the favour"Sure" he said. Then the door opened up and another officer led Liam into the room in handcuffs. I should really get used to seeing him like this since it's now happening more often. After the other officer brought him in, he left the room"I will let you two talk" the nice officer said before leaving us both alone in the room and closing the door behind him"Hey, listen" Liam started but I could wait for him to talk not after what he put me through today and all the things I found out about him"What the fuck Liam" I said upset"Look, listen to me. It's my wife and her lawyer lover, they are the ones setting me up, they are the ones doing all this. I can tell you I didn't do anything. They had all this planned out" he said desperately"Do you know how worried I was, when those guys carried you, I

    "Look the charges are all legit" he said apologetically but still confident"You should know that his wife is really on to him, she could have plotted all of this, believe that woman is crazy, I wouldn't put it pass her, maybe you should be focusing on her instead torturing me" I said upset"No, this isn't his wife. He has been doing this for a very long time now, even before he met her,tl this one is on him not her" he said"Okay I think am gonna go" I said getting off the car seat but he got off the driver's seat and stopped me "Please just calm down, I know this is a whole lot for you but being angry about it isn't going to make it go away and besides where are you going to go?" he said to me"No am not upset about what you are telling me, I guess am just angry at myself for not figuring it out on time. You think you know someone but–shit!" I said with a mixed feeling. This is just all too much"Hey listen, you know I really can drive you back to the city, instead of sitting here

    Once he heard my reply, he parked by the side of the road and got down from his car"Hey, are you okay?" He said coming toward me, I became scared and alert I took some steps backwards to put a space between us at least to give me a headstart if something should happen. What is he is a psychopath or a kiddnapper or a killer? There were many things running through my mind and my insecurities set in. If anything should happen to me here, nobody will know because Liam drove me out here very early in the morning, I didn't get the chance to call or tell anybody where I was headed and now I am left here no phone, absolutely nothing on me but my cloth"Obviously not" I said still suspicious"Well, did your car break down somewhere? I can help you to fix it, I am not a mechanic but I know a few things" he said nicely. How is he so nice, it's awkward I thought to myself"No" I said keeping my eyes on him and studying him"In that case, can I give you a ride back to wherever?" He asked"Do you

    It was a building, a complete building. I did not know if I show uod get excited or not. "Liam what is this?" I asked a little confused"It's a building, you can start your firm here. I mean it looks a little bit old, we can fix it up a bit" he said smiling. I stood there still confused, why would I want my firm an hour away the city? Was he joking and I specifically told him I don't want to go private"It fit the profile perfectly, it's spacious has all the equipments and fittings intact, you will love it, let's just take a look inside" he continued"Liam, we didn't talk about this, you didn't think this is something you should have mentioned to me before now? Instead of driving us out here this early?" I asked a little upset"Just wait a second okay, let's go take a look inside first, am sure you will love it" he said. I just felt that he wasn't hearing me"I'm a city girl, I love the city, I don't want to be here Liam, out alone here in the middle of nowhere?. All my friends are i
