As the sun began its descent beneath the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the city streets, Daniel and Juliette found themselves strolling leisurely, completely enraptured by each other's presence.

Hand in hand, their fingers interlaced, they walked closely together, their emotions radiating with every step.

Melodies, faint and melodious, graced the air, painting a symphony that harmonized perfectly with their romantic evening.

With smiles dancing on their lips, they indulged in their favorite icy treats, cones adorned with vibrantly hued scoops of gelato, a juxtaposition of beauty and bliss.

Daniel glanced at Juliette, his eyes shimmering with adoration.

"Work has been quite tumultuous this week. You must have seen the headlines," Daniel began.

"Yes, I did. How is Adrienne? Is she truly pregnant?" Juliette pretended concern.

"She's doing great," Daniel responded, skillfully brushing past her other query.

"And how was your week?" he inquired.

    At The Ryan's Mansion, Evelyn was rummaging through Michael's study, his belongings scattered across the room. Surprised by her behavior, Michael entered and confronted his wife. "What is going on here?" he asked, his voice filled with astonishment. Evelyn glanced up, offering a forced smile. "Oh, welcome back home," she replied, attempting to sound nonchalant. Leaning against a wall, Michael observed her carefully. "What were you searching for?" he inquired. Frustration and anxiety surged through Evelyn, her heart pounding against her chest. "I don't know," she answered, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "You don't know? And look at what you've done to my study. What is wrong with you, Evelyn?" Michael's voice escalated, his patience wearing thin. Her emotions boiling over, Evelyn couldn't contain herself any longer. "Why did you bring that woman into our home? It's clear she isn't the business partner you claimed her to be. What is your relationship with

    Tentatively, she approached her, gently nudging Evelyn with her foot. "Hey, wake up. This isn't a movie. The vase didn't hit you that hard. Get up," Rosa muttered, fear evident in her voice. Within Rosa's mind, a mix of emotions overwhelmed her. "Did I just...kill someone? No, she can't be dead. Should I call for help? Will I spend the rest of my life in prison?" Tears streamed down her face as she grappled with the weight of her actions. In a state of panic, Rosa rushed to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. The room felt suffocating as Rosa's mind raced with thoughts. "Do they have CCTV cameras? What if they find out? It was just a flower vase... she can't be dead, right?" Rosa murmured, trembling uncontrollably. Guilt and fear consumed her. She pulled the curtains shut, huddling in a corner of the room, shaking as she dialed Andrew's number. *** Daniel pulled up to Adrienne's mansion, parking his car and making his way inside to find her.

    "An amusement park?" Adrienne asked, her voice filled with surprise as she noticed the massive signboard looming above the gate. A security guard approached the driver's seat, and Daniel confidently presented his ID. After a thorough confirmation of his identity, the guard signaled to his colleagues, and the gate slowly opened, granting them entry. Daniel parked in the designated area, before the two of them stepped out, excitement bubbling within them. "Aren't they closed?" Adrienne questioned, her brow furrowing. "Yes, they are closed," Daniel confirmed, his eyes glinting with anticipation. "So why are we here?" Adrienne asked. "I managed to pull some strings," Daniel revealed, a proud grin spreading across his face as he looked at her. Eagerly, he grabbed her hand, gently tugging her forward. Together, they ventured into the moonlit amusement park, the empty surroundings almost surreal. It was well past closing time, but Daniel's friend, the park's owner, had granted them

    Adrienne's expression turned to one of disbelief. "You've known Juliette for years? Why do I suddenly feel like I've been betrayed?" Daniel let out a bitter chuckle. "Trust me, it's not what you think." "Hey Daniel, I don't know what exactly happened between you and Juliette, but maybe you should give her some time. Even if she's pretending or lying about not remembering, there has to be a reason for it. And if she truly doesn't have a valid reason, then she's just foolish and annoying," Adrienne said, her eyes rolling in frustration. Daniel couldn't help but laugh at Adrienne's candid response. "Heyy, you're right about that." Adrienne's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Apologizing, she excused herself to answer it and returned a few minutes later. Daniel raised an eyebrow. "Ryan?" Adrienne nodded. "Yeah, how did you know?" "Because you excused yourself to answer it," Daniel replied, smirking. Adrienne took a seat, her face flushed slightly. "So, are yo

    "I told you not to call me like that, didn't I? You called me like a hundred times yesterday, what happened?" Andrew questioned Rosa, his voice filled with frustration. "It's not a big deal. It's been resolved now," Rosa said nonchalantly. "I asked what happened! Answer me!" Andrew yelled, growing increasingly agitated on the other end of the call. "Bye, I am hanging up," Rosa declared, abruptly ending the call. "Tch! Jerks everywhere," Rosa muttered in annoyance, tossing her phone onto the bed. "Who? Me?" Michael inquired, breaking the silence as he sat in an armchair in his room. His button-up shirt was partially unbuttoned, the sleeves rolled up, and he wore only tight-fitting boxers, revealing the contours of his body. Rosa turned her gaze towards him, her eyes piercing with a mix of disgust, anger, and rage. "Reduce that glare," Michael snapped, irritated by her gaze. He reached for his bottle of wine and poured some of the red wine into a balloon glass before settling back

    Adrienne woke up the following day, a typical Monday morning. As she glanced around the room, a sinking feeling crept in—she was alone. "Didn't we sleep together? Or did he go out again?" She asked herself, her brow furrowing as she tried to piece together the fragmented memories. Slowly, she stretched her weary limbs and sat up. "It's been a while since I've done my usual morning meditations," Adrienne murmured to herself. The absence of Ryan nagged at her, and she couldn't shake the curiosity any longer. "Where is he?" she wondered aloud. Her eyes wandered over to the window, capturing the breathtaking morning view of the beach, momentarily distracting her with its beauty. "So satisfying," she sighed. Adrienne hurried to freshen up and wore Ryan's clothes. Descending the stairs, she surveyed the empty house, calling out for Ryan, hoping for even a faint response but silence greeted her. Then, she noticed a note affixed to the refrigerator door. "Good morning angel. Ther

    Michael was leaning on a walking stick for support. A wave of worry washed over Ryan. "Did he see me kissing Juliette?" he mused to himself, his mind racing with questions. "Why are you with a walking stick?" Ryan blurted out, not bothering to greet. "It's not your business, I came to see my wife," Michael replied curtly, his tone laced with bitterness. Juliette, ever polite, offered a respectful greeting and bowed her head. Michael barely acknowledged her presence. "She's still as beautiful as ever, even in this state of unconsciousness," Michael remarked, feigning sentiment. Ryan couldn't help but roll his eyes. His father's facade was as transparent as glass. Narrowing his gaze, Ryan studied his father from head to toe and noticed a peculiar sight – blood staining Michael's sock, like it was trickling down his leg. Exchanging a concerned look with Andrew, Ryan subtly pointed towards his dad's injured leg, silently conveying his discovery. Without delay, Michael announced h

    Left alone in her room, Adrienne contemplated his proposition. "He may be up to no good as usual," she thought to herself, skepticism clouding her mind. "Or maybe he's just using this as a ploy to trick and deceive me into dressing up." A wry smirk tugged at her lips as she added, "Does he really think I'm that gullible?" But beneath her skepticism, an undeniable curiosity sparked within Adrienne. A part of her yearned to embrace the unknown and follow him to wherever he wanted to take her. After all, the quest for answers about her past lingered deep within her soul. It had been over forty agonizing minutes before Adrienne finally emerged, gracefully making her way down the grand staircase. She was adorned in a sleek, form-fitting black dress that accentuated her figure, paired with elegant black heels. In her hand, she carried a small, black clutch purse. As usual, her attire was skimpy, leaving little to the imagination. The matching black earrings and bracelet added an a

    "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
