Episode 24

Luciana sat in the living room, tears streaming down her face. She knew her life was in danger after backing out of a deal with a dangerous woman like Cassandra. She was clueless about what to do.

Cassandra had told her no one would ever be able to take Derick, and it actually sounded like a threat.

The door suddenly opened, and Heidi walked in. She was quick to notice that Luciana was in tears.

She came into the living room, staring down at her. “Hold on a minute…did my dad break up with you? Please, tell me that’s why you are crying.” Heidi asked hopefully.

Luciana stared up at her, shook her head. “He did not. Is that how much you hate me? You want your father to break up with me?”

Heidi nodded. “Yes. ASAP. You are a weirdo, Luciana. There’s something up your sleeves and I will find out what it is. Trust me.” She said, turned and started heading upstairs.

Luciana sprang up on her feet. “Why do you hate me so much? Why are you so sure that I am a bad person?”

    Episode 25Cassandra stared back at the girl who was now standing in front of her. She was shocked. How the hell did she locate her? Was it Luciana? “What are you doing here?”Heidi scoffed, shook her head. “It’s all making sense now. You planted Luciana into dad’s life? Cassandra, how could you! You wanna destroy my dad’s life, isn’t it? ““ You have to leave this place immediately, Heidi. I have no business with you.” Cassandra replied.Heidi chuckled slightly, staring at her mother. “No. Since you have a business with my father’s life, I think you automatically have a business with me too. What did you send that witch to do to my father? What’s she planning! “Cassandra stared at her daughter, and marveled at how brave and beautiful she’d become. She took her gaze to Kieran who was standing behind Heidi with questions in her eyes.“And who are you?” Cassandra asked.“I’m Heidi’s friend.” Kieran replied.“Then get her out of here. She shouldn’t be here. “Heidi folded her arms as

Her eyes landed on his cool face and unconsciously, she fell on her knees."What..... what are you doing?" She stammered, moving backwards on her knees.Tristan quietly kept looking at her face then slowly glanced lazily at the dishes she brought. "Are those for me?""Y...yes." Blair nodded vigorously."Hmm." Tristan mumbled with a nod. Before Blair could say "Jack", he hit her jaw with the tail of his gun.She screamed out in pain as she fell off and landed on the ground.

A huge guy coming from the main entrance called out.Bella turned to look at him. "Because I have a business deal to offer.

    It was a little bit dark in the room when Tristan walked in. Gianna was awake, she was sitting up quietly."Hey." Tristan whispered as he walked towards the bed. He sat at the edge and took Gianna's hand in his. "How are you now?"Gianna smiled and shrugged. "I've never been any better. Thank you."Tristan stared down at her stomach, smiled and looked back into her face. "My baby is still down there?"Gianna chuckled. "Yeah. She or he is still there, waiting for the day of arrival into the world. How did you get here? Why did you change your mind?"Tristan shrugged. "I don't know, perhaps... because I couldn't continue living without you, because I wanted to see Layla and to forgive her so I could get the burden off my chest.""You did the right thing, Tristan. The right thing..." Gianna's voice trailed off when she remembered all that Nelson had said."What's it? Are you okay?" Tristan questioned when he noticed the sudden change in her mood. Gianna turned and looked at him. "While

    That same night, Tristan left the house quietly. He was glad that both his mother and Tracy were already fast asleep and that made it possible and easy for him to leave.He dialled the line which Nicholas had called him with as he walked briskly to his car. Just when he got in, Nicholas picked the call."I'm on my way right now, send the address to this number." Tristan said, starting the car engine."I already sent it. The police are just arriving! I will hang up now because I have to escape. He's going to kill me.""Wait... what is...?" Tristan stopped when the line clicked off. He threw the phone on the seat beside him and drove out of the compound, speeding away madly in the dark.**Nelson bursted into the room, rushing towards Gianna who looked very alarmed. The sounds of siren was all over the place which indicated that the police were around. Nelson grabbed Gianna, loosening the ropes bounding her. He jerked her up to her feet and started dragging her out of room.Struggling

    Nicholas sat in the dark, thinking deeply on what to do. He needed to save Gianna at all cost, he needed to redeem his mistakes and real fast.He was still finding it hard to believe he helped abduct Gianna who was pregnant."I'm never going to forgive myself if anything happens to her, I need to talk to Tristan right away. No matter the consequences, I need to do this." Nicholas thought.He stood up and walked slowly towards the main entrance. He stood in front of the door, eavesdropping. He could hear Nelson, talking to Gianna. He backed the door, steadying his breath. He would have to wait for another opportunity to be alone with Gianna again, and that would enable him get Tristan's contact.Quietly, he left the main entrance back to the veranda.**"You're not going to achieve anything with what you are doing, give up already because you are about to hit rock bottom." Gianna said softly to Nelson who was seated in front of her.Nelson stared down at the cigarette between his fin

Quentin asked when Samantha's voice trailed off.Samantha nodded, closing her eyes. "Gianna is missing, someone abducted her." Samantha said, wiping tears off her face. Quentin frowned, trying to understand what the girl was saying. "What do you mean by she's been abducted? By who?""My brother." Samantha replied with more tears.Agnes gasped, her hands covering her mouth. "Nelson?" Samantha nodded.Samantha nodded."Why? Why would he do that?"

    "He's calling again." Nelson laughed when Gianna's phone began to ring again in his hand. He answered the call and put the phone on loud speaker. "You never give up, don't you? Why don't you give up and just go to bed?""What do you want?" Tristan cold voice came from the other side of the line. "Tell me what he sh*t you want!" "I don't think you have what I want, b*stard. Do you have my father there with you? I will like to exchange him for your Gianna. She looks so pretty, you know. What shall I do with her?" Nelson asked in a menacing tone. "Why would I have you father? What the hell do you want?" Tristan asked again."Are you asking me that? You brought down my family you jerk! My father is suffering away in the prison and you dare ask me that? You want Gianna back, huh? Come find her.""Where are you?" Tristan asked in a stiff voice. He stood beside the road, glaring angrily. "Put Gianna on the line, I want to make sure she's fine." *Nelson stared down at Gianna and smiled ev

    "Goddamit!" Tristan cursed, almost smashing the phone on the ground.Samantha was trembling. She just spoke to her brother and he sounded like a different person entirely."He's got Gianna! What are we gonna do!" Samantha panicked.Tristan stood akimbo, boiling and fuming with anger. "He doesn't know who he's dealing with. He's making a bug mistake with me." Tristan voice was extremely cold and deep.Samantha trembled more. She fear she might lose her brother and she couldn't stop thinking about Gianna. Why would Nelson ever think of abducting her? Why her? Sammy thought deeply."I should call Tracy and Layla, and let them know what's happening." Samantha said with trembling voice.Tristan didn't reply, he was too devasted to say anything. He sat down on the nearest sofa, contemplating on what to do."Don't call them yet." Tristan said just when Samantha was going to dial Tracy's line. "What? They have to know what's happening. At least, her mother." Samantha chipped in."I need to t

Nicholas asked and Gianna had to repeat the question. "I'm still here in Philadelphia. Stranded." He replied."Oh no. That's very awful. What are you gonna do now? I can't seem to be of help right now." Gianna sighed. She got home and walked into the house, sat down on a chair."It's fine, Gianna. I just wanted you to know I'm okay. I will get a job soon enough and start all over again.""And your dad? How's he?" "He returned to the country side where my mother is. I think that's what's best for him at this month."
