Richard arrived at Adrienne's house, filled with worry as he searched every room and called out her name repeatedly. It became increasingly clear that she was nowhere to be found.

Frustration slowly crept into his voice as he wondered aloud, "Where could she possibly be?"

Realization struck him – if she wasn't home, then she must have gone to Daniel.

Determined, Richard made his way to Daniel's house, only to discover that Daniel had moved out. Feeling slightly defeated, his thoughts turned to other possible locations. Perhaps she was at her other house or her mom's house. However, both houses were in Abuja.

"Did she really fly all the way to Abuja?" Richard thought aloud in disbelief.

As it turned out, he was right. Adrienne was indeed at her mom's house in Abuja. Aware that Richard would eventually find her at her own house, she had sought refuge at her mom's instead.

It was nearly 11pm when Richard arrived at Mrs. Davison's house. Surprisingly, she was still awake and kindly allow

    "Good morning, Mom," Adrienne greeted."Good morning, Ma," Richard greeted Mrs. Davison as they entered the dining room."Please, sit down for breakfast," Mrs. Davison said.As the breakfast was served, they started eating."Adrienne, we didn't have much time to talk yesterday. How are you feeling now? Have you made a decision yet?" Mrs. Davison asked.Adrienne glanced at Richard and mouthed, "I told her everything," and he nodded."Sort of. We haven't discussed what to do about Michael and Linc yet," Adrienne explained."What do you mean by 'what to do with Michael and Linc'? They should be sent to jail, of course. Lifetime imprisonment if possible," Mrs. Davison stated."Lifetime imprisonment based on what? My confession alone? There's no evidence, Mom, and they'll never admit to their crime in court," Adrienne said."Richard, what do you think?" Mrs. Davison asked."Mom, please don't bug him. I know he's feeling quite uncomfortable right now," Adrienne said."Why should he? We've s

    "Why is Renee suing me?" Adrienne exclaimed, disbelief written all over her face. "Is it Ryan's Renee? You know, the Renee we both know? Or is it a completely different Renee?" The questions poured out of her in rapid succession, leaving Lisa momentarily speechless."Yes, it's Ryan's Renee. She's suing you for product liability. I've already sent the details to your email."Adrienne groaned, her frustration evident. "I'm still watching Juliette's stupid broadcast, and I am absolutely not in the mood to read through a bunch of stupid files. Just read it for me and provide a brief summary when I call you later," she commanded dismissively."Alright then," Lisa responded and hung up the phone.Sighing softly, Adrienne turned her attention back to the ongoing broadcast."I first met Adrienne months ago," Juliette began, her voice brimming with false sincerity. "It was at a beauty awards ceremony I attended with Ryan. Adrienne was incredibly kind to me, and I really looked up to her as

    "She really betrayed me?" Adrienne gasped, her voice filled with horror as she observed Renee's entrance, clad in a sleeveless dress that unveiled red, inflamed patches on her delicate skin. The patches appeared rough and flaky, unmistakably signaling an allergic reaction or some kind of irritation. Scarlet redness and small bumps marred her once flawless cheeks.Juliette swiftly rose from her seat, offering it to Renee, who looked apprehensive, on the brink of tears."With just one glance at my lifeless skin, it becomes evident that this is the aftermath of Rie's skincare products," Renee uttered, her voice trembling with fear. "I've been faithfully using them for over a year without any issues like this.""But your skin was fine at Brian's party! This is an outright lie!" Adrienne exclaimed.Renee's eyes welled up as she began to explain her ordeal. "I recently restocked, just last week, and all of a sudden, these dreadful reactions started to surface. I had the cream tested, and

    Juliette lay on the floor, a hand pressed against her stinging cheek, her disbelief mingling with the throbbing pain. Linc stood beside her, his expression one of surprise as they both looked up to find Michael towering over them. His face was twisted with fury."How dare you have the audacity to show up here, Juliette!" Michael's voice boomed, dripping with venom. "Who gave you the authority to carry out such actions?"Juliette's eyes flashed with defiance. "You should be grateful," she fired back. "I saved your sorry ass. I covered for you, diverting it all onto Adrienne. And now, you have the nerve to scold me?"Linc reached out and helped Juliette to her feet. She straightened her back, refusing to be intimidated."Do you not remember the millions of dollars you owe me?" Michael sneered."And do you not remember that it was me who saved your reputation?" she retorted, meeting his gaze.A smug smirk tugged at the corners of Juliette's lips. "Now, it's time for you to do your pa

    Michael lay on his bed, desperate to find some semblance of sleep. But no matter how hard he tried, an unsettling feeling gnawed at him. His tired eyes shifted to Evelyn, peacefully slumbering beside him. Finally, he couldn't bear the restlessness any longer. Rising from the bed, Michael ventured to his drawer and retrieved a sleeping pill. Only hours before, he had implored Linc for this remedy, a whispered plea for respite. It was the fourth time and the twelfth pill he was taking this evening, a reckless disregard for the consequences. None of it mattered, though, because the drugs simply weren't working.Leaving the room in a hazy daze, Michael navigated his way to the study. Discreetly tucked away behind an array of bookshelves, a hidden safe beckoned to him. Retrieving a file, he carefully opened it, poring over its contents once more. With a nod of affirmation, he murmured, "I made the right choice," before returning it to its secrecy.His unease persisted, refusing to be

    "Let me see the video!" She shouted, and immediately felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Her eyes and head spun, and she stumbled, but Ryan sprang up from his knees and caught her just in time."You're pregnant, Adrienne. You shouldn't stress yourself like that," Ryan said, guiding her gently towards the nearest couch."How did you know I'm pregnant?" Adrienne asked, confusion etching her face."Remember the day you passed out? I took you to the hospital," Ryan explained.Adrienne's brows furrowed. "I didn't know that, and no one told me. Thank you though," she responded.Ryan sighed, slumping back on the couch and crossing his arms over his chest. "What's the matter?" Adrienne asked."I just remembered Brian." The pain of remembering Brian flickered in his eyes. In an instant, tears welled up in Adrienne's own eyes again."Why are you crying?" Ryan leaned closer, cupping her face with his hands and using his thumbs to wipe away the tears."I'm so sorry for your loss, Ryan. I ca

    Adrienne's eyes shot open, and she let out a blood-curdling scream as soon as she saw Lisa's face looming over hers. Startled and shaken, she struggled to catch her breath."I swear, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Adrienne shouted.Lisa's expression grew serious as she responded, "We don't have time to waste. We have to be somewhere, now.""I need to stretch and relax my body. And where is Richard? It's been fifteen hours since I last saw him," Adrienne insisted, growing impatient by the second."Get up, take a quick shower, and dress up, Adrienne," Lisa said, her voice tinged with authority.Adrienne's brow furrowed in annoyance as she retorted, "Since when did you start taking on Daniel's bossy tendencies?"After much dragging and resistance, Adrienne finally managed to force herself into the bathroom, settling for a casual outfit because Lisa refused to disclose their destination.As Lisa drove, Adrienne's mind drifted to the video that had been making waves on the internet.

    "What is it?" Adrienne inquired, releasing her grip on Lisa's body.Lisa let out a sigh, uncertain of whether she should disclose the information to Adrienne."Show it to me," Adrienne demanded, her voice filled with urgency."Now!" she shouted at Lisa, who reluctantly handed over her phone."Fire? An explosion? Overheating and pressure buildup? My factory?!!" Adrienne exclaimed."Yes, and on top of that, the FDA was conducting an inspection at the factory," Lisa replied, her face filled with worry."They'll think I deliberately tried to cover up evidence, won't they?" Adrienne asked, and Lisa nodded."Head down to the factory and assess the situation. Inform me as soon as the fire is extinguished and provide updates on the injured victims," Adrienne commanded."Aren't you coming with me?" Lisa questioned."I'm feeling quite exhausted. I need to rest," Adrienne conveyed and returned Lisa's phone to her.She started to make her way upstairs, but Lisa halted her."Adrienne, what are you

    "Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

    "Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

    "Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

    "Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

    Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

    Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

    She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

    Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

    Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
