"What's going on? What's wrong with the TV?" A female police officer asked her colleague. "I have no idea, it suddenly began to act up," he replied. "Look!" One of them shouted and pointed at the tv, making the others turn in its direction. There on the screen was what turned out to be the CCTV footage of the whole incident at the cliff. The entire police station became silent as a graveyard as everyone's attention was solely on the tv. The only sound that was heard was Hailey and Alkira's voices arguing on tv. The officers watched wide-eyed as everything unfolded. Starting from when the ladies jumped out of the window, down to when the police arrived. "The young lady is innocent," One of the officers muttered. "Who played this?" A senior inspector questioned. His questions were accompanied by a series of murmurs as everyone came up with a theory as to who had the ability to hack the tv and play such a video. "Silence!" the senior inspector boomed. "Get the other lady here.
"Megan," Hailey called, wide-eyed. Even Victor was in shock, he stared at Megan like she just lost her mind. "Why are you looking at me that way?" Megan asked, appearing confused at why they were looking at her like she did something out of the ordinary. "How can you smack a guy's bum that way?" Hailey asked. Megan smiled. "We are friends now, aren't we? Expect more," she said and winked at the duo, who stared at her like she had suddenly gone crazy. "Ahh, I almost forgot," Hailey said, bringing Victor and Megan's attention to herself. "What?" they asked simultaneously. "Why did that cop attack me? I find it weird that he accused me of murder without proper investigation and now he tried to hurt me," Hailey voiced out. "Well, he is just a depressed cop," Victor said. "Depressed? I'm not the cause of his depression and that day at the cliff was the first day I met him. So why would he attack me?" Hailey asked, confused. "Well, your family is related to the cause of his depres
Hailey was discharged as she requested. Since the hospital belonged to her family, none of the medical practitioners could stop her from leaving as almost all of them were afraid of losing their job.Victor drove Hailey and Megan out of the hospital. After dropping Megan at her house, Victor drove back with Hailey in a comfortable silence. While Hailey was looking out the window, Victor was focused on driving. Looking around, Hailey noticed that they weren't going in the direction of her house, but Victor's."Aren't you taking me home?" Hailey asked and Victor glanced at her for a second and focused his eyes back on the road."Sleep at my place tonight," he said.Hailey, who was also uneasy with the idea of sleeping alone at home after witnessing Alkira's end, immediately accepted.Victor laughed"What are you laughing at?" Hailey asked, blushing."Your face," Victor replied.Hailey blushed profusely this time, she bent her head to hide her face from Victor."You look cute right now,"
"Daddy, why is Uncle Victor on top of Aunt Hailey?" Rosaline and Frederick look at each other. "I told you to call him first," Rosaline muttered. "I just wanted to surprise him," Frederick replied. "Now, you are the one that got surprised," Rosaline said with an eye roll. "Mum, Dad. Can you remove your hand from my eyes, I want to look too," Tina requested. "You can't!" Rosaline and Frederick screamed at once. The couple who were lost in their own world heard their voices and immediately separated. "Finally," Frederick muttered and heaved a sigh of relief. They both removed their hands from Tina's eyes. Tina looked at the couch only to see Victor staring awkwardly at them and Hailey whose cheeks were reddened and was staring down at her toes. "This is not fair Dad!" Tima screamed. "What?" Frederick asked, confused. "You didn't let me look, now they are done," Tina complained. Victor and Hailey's eyes immediately went to her. Both stared at her in surprise. "Are you going
NEXT MORNING "Good morning, sunshine," Victor greeted Hailey, on running into her in the living room. Last night after sending Frederick and his family off to bed, the couple decided to retire to bed too, since their time together was already interrupted."Good morning," Hailey replied, smiling.Victor held her and kissed her deeply."Ewwww, at least brush your teeth before doing that," Both heard Frederick say. Victor glared at him, Hailey coughed and cleared her throat."Good morning, Frederick. Swear you haven't done worse with your wife before," Victor told him, smirking.Frederick rolled his eyes and focused his attention on the coffee in his hands."I will be going to the company with you this morning," Frederick informed him."No problem, but you are not driving with me.""Why would I do that? I never want to watch your make out session with my sister again," Frederick said with a scrunched face.Hailey glared at him and folded her fist, gesturing to him that she will punch h
"Megan, are you okay?" Hailey screamed and ran over to Megan leaving the door open.Megan lay on the floor nearly out of breath and stared outside. The male figure whose cologne fragrance she had breathed in, stared back at her. She immediately averted her gaze, her heart throbbing."Megan, what the hell is wrong with you?" Hailey screams."I'm…I'm fine," Megan replies even though she was far from it."Need any help?" A handsome young man asked from the door. His facial expression was blank and he seemed like someone that never smiled before, but then he had a friendly aura.Megan nearly fainted, on seeing him. She pushed herself under her table to prevent him from seeing her. But who was she kidding, she has already been seen."We are fine, thank you. Who are you and what are you doing on the private floor?" Hailey asks, unable to understand how a stranger was able to come up the floor."Oh, I'm here for the job interview. And I'm hoping to get hired." He stressed the last part as if
"Mum, I won't be able to come back home today, I have to work overtime," Megan lied over the phone. After speaking to her, Megan hung up and lowered herself into the bed. After running into Vincent, Megan knew going back home was not safe for her mum and little sister. She decided to stay at a small roadside hotel. She knew that now that Vincent had found her, he would stop at nothing to find the remaining two people in her life and she was going to do anything to keep them safe. They do not deserve a family member like Vincent. She recalled her conversation with Vincent at the company."Where is my mum and little sister?" Vincent asked."Why are you asking me that? Aren't they dead?" Megan asked back. Even though her heart was pounding, it didn't deter her from trying to protect the people she had come to accept as her family."Don't play smart with me, baby. You know what happens when you do that. I'm still the same, I haven't changed," Vincent whispered, his breath fanning her ear
"Not again," Victor muttered."I know what you are thinking, Victor. But I don't think that's what happened. Why don't you go check her house, while I search around the area," Frederick suggested.Without waiting to be told twice, Victor raced into the house and brought his car key then entered the car and sped out."Please, be safe, Hailey," Victor kept muttering as he drove to Hailey's house. His grip on the steering wheel was so tight that the steering wheel could break, his brows were creased. Finally getting to Hailey's home, Victor felt his head ache on seeing that the lights were turned off."Maybe she has gone to bed," He consoled himself. But deep down, he knew Hailey might not be home. Since he knew the password, he unlocked the door and entered. He slowly made his way to Hailey's bedroom, as there was no sign of her in the living room. Getting to the bedroom, he turned on the light, an empty room stared back at him, the bed was properly made, showing that no one had slept
