In Love Again 67: EXPOSED
Sarah sat on her bed going through a few family photographs, a faint smile tugging her lips, in fact, she had been a little bored these days. She had been rather excited when she heard of the supposed relationship between Alvira and Simon and had been even more excited when she knew Simon was really interested in Alvira, she had hoped after that dinner, she would hear more good news, especially from Alvira's mother who she had made it a habit to call frequently and gossip with. But she had heard nothing, in fact, it seemed as if nothing was going on, and their relationship was almost nonexistent. She thought and sighs, just then her phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello?" "What?" She frowned and stood up slowly. "How is that possible?" She asked, her frown deepening. She shook her head as she listened to the words of the other person, "I really don’t know what are you talking about, but you know what? I would find out what is going on and call you back." She informed the per

Alvira wiped the sweat from off her brows and sighed as she looked around the room she had just finished cleaning, her workload had increased greatly over the past few days and even though she knew it was purposely done by Lara to torture her she turned a blind eye to it, the best she could do was to adjust her shifts to before and after classes.Today in particular, she had changed her shift from morning to evening as she had been busy with her exams off late, what made things a little convenient was the fact that Simon was not in the mansion, thus the cleaning of the room was not as urgent as it usually was. She sighed as she pushed the cleaning cart towards the storage room downstairs, she stopped there, returned the cleaning equipment to their usual places, and headed for the changing room. As she did, her phone rang and she pulled it out of the pocket of her apron, looked at it and her eyes widened when she saw more than five missed calls, and they were all from Emily. Why didn’

Simon sighs and looks out the window. It was night already, and it was frustrating to sit there unable to do anything and just wait for others to do it for him. At least he had made a move first and informed his lawyer of the threat before the whole thing blew up, if not, it would have been really frustrating. He looked around the private room and found Asher wasn't anywhere in the room, he didn’t bother looking for him either, he knew he was working hard to keep things in check at the company, he pulled out his phone and saw the missed calls from Alvira, at the sight of it, he sighed again, she must be really worried about him, he had to call her and let her know he was fine. As he was about to do just that, he stumbled on the video sent to him by an anonymous number. He opened it first hoping to watch it before calling Alvira. He frowned when he saw Lana, Clarisse, and Alvira seated at a table in a cafe."I wanted to give you this.” Clarisse pulled an envelope out of her bag and p

Alvira stared out the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant she had been sitting in, a worried expression on her face, it was past eight in the evening and the city was still as busy as ever. She didn't seem to understand why Jared asked her to meet him here when they could just talk at the mansion but that was the least of her worries right now. It has been a week since the caregivers sued Simon, and since she had spoken to Simon on the phone, and up until now, she cannot explain what had really happened, or what was going on with Simon. The day after Simon hung up on her and asked her never to show herself in front of him ever again, she had gone to meet Madam Sarah to ask about Simon’s wellbeing but she had only heard that he would be staying abroad for the time being until everything settled. It was obvious that Simon had not said anything about her to his grandparents. But she did not understand, she did not understand what she had done wrong, she did not understand why he

Alvira's eyes widened in surprise then she shook her head in disbelief, “That’s not true. Simon would never believe a thing like that.” She said without batting a lash and Jared raised a brow.“Why don’t you call him and see.” He said with an air of confidence around him.“He might be angry for a few days but...” Alvira trailed off as her mind went back to the last discussion she had with Simon. He seems to be mad at her, really mad. He had broken up with her, he broke up with her without even telling her why. So this was it? This was the reason? He heard something about her?She kept her eyes glued to the plate, not wanting Jared to see the continuous emotional fluctuations in her eyes as she began to remember the things that Simon had said to her that night, so he had said all that because of what he had seen in a video? What video was it? Why didn't he confront her but accuse her instead? So he believes the things in the video over her? When he had said they were done. He really

Alvira walked out of the exam hall amidst a crowd of students, all discussing the difficulty level of the just concluded paper with their friends. She only sighed in agreement as those around her complained of how hard the paper was.“Alvira, how was your exam?” Grace, her bedmate asked as she caught up with her.It’s been two weeks since they started their exams and since she had moved into the school dormitory to squat with Grace. Her mother had convinced her to do this the week her exams were about to start, to be precise, she told her to stay in school to prevent distractions. But she knew that the distractions her mother was referring to were simply Simon and any news about him. Her mother had not stopped scolding him since she came home from her dinner date with Jared three weeks ago. She even told her to stop going to work at the Walkers’ mansion and she listened and never went back there. Even if her mother hadn’t informed her to stop, she would still not go back there. She

Barrister Mike Barnes, sat down in the almost empty courtroom staring absentmindedly at the file in front of him, he had been a lawyer for almost ten years now, had started his firm a while back, and up until now, this was the first case he was sure he was going to lose and it was so heartbreaking because he knew what kind of person Simon was, he knew he was innocent, but he couldn’t defend him. All his life as a lawyer, he had never felt this helpless.He looked up at the empty judge’s seat and sighed, the case was a little hard because right from the onset, the opinion of the public had been against him, he knew that even the judge was filled with prejudice, so he was attacked left and right making things difficult for him even during the court session but he didn’t blame anyone, he could only attribute his failure this time to lack of enough time for proper investigation. He was not going to give up here, he was going to file for a retrial if they lost the case. He was going to sav

In Love Again EPILOGUE
In a small town somewhere in Australia, Clarisse walked down the snow-covered street vigilantly, dressed in heavy padded jackets with a scarf covering her face tightly. She had been hiding here since she escaped the country and had been listening to the news of Josh and Lana in the country.Hearing of Josh’s death, she was more than excited, she was even glad that she had left him at the time she did, if not, only God knows what would have happened to her now, as for Lana that delusional bitch, hehe. Serves her right. She rang the bell of her home, a small apartment where she lived with her boyfriend who she had found in her first week in this town. He was handsome and romantic and he just made her happy. She rang the bell continuously wondering why he was not opening the door. She walked to the one place where they kept the spare house key, under a stone slab by the door but the key wasn’t there. She tried calling him but his phone was unreachable, so she knew she had no choice but
In Love Again 95: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 4
It was obvious that Josh had finally lost his mind and was trying to get everyone killed. Lana looked around from her hiding place in search of Simon. In this situation, if she could escape with Simon, it would be great. She thought, forgetting that she was wanted by the law. Just as she saw him and wanted to crawl to his side, Josh also saw her, this woman owed him a blood debt, and she dared ruin his plan. He thought with anger as he saw many of his men fall to the ground dead, he also wanted her dead.He aimed for her head. At that moment Lana felt a sense of crisis, looked behind her, and saw him pointing the gun at her. Her eyes widened in panic. Josh smiled at her, he hoped she would regret ever talking down on him.“No!” Lana screamed before the gun was shot and she was silenced forever, a bullet hole in her head. Even until her death, she was looking towards Simon with longing, failing to realize he was not the perfect man she envisioned. He was a man with flaws just like ev
In Love Again 94: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 3
Minutes before the gunshot, Simon walked into the building flagged by Josh’s men, unaware that they had been followed by Asher and that the police were not far behind. The hideout was an abandoned food processing factory in an area marked for demotion in town, no one could have guessed that criminals were hiding in such an unstable environment. He followed the men into the not-so-tidy office that must have been the director’s when the factory was still functioning and saw Josh who he hadn’t seen in the past three weeks seated there with a smirk on his face.“Hello cousin, happy to see me?” Josh, who was resting back in the chair, his arms spread out and a happy smirk plastered on his face asked.Simon didn’t care about him or the men surrounding him, he didn’t even care if Josh wouldn’t allow him to leave this place alive, all he wanted to know was if Alvira was safe and sound.“I have what you want,” Simon said seriously as he placed the black box on the creaking table before lookin
In Love Again 93: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 2
Alvira felt herself sink to the bottom of the transparent tank the moment she landed in, only then did she notice that the rope tied around her waist was inlaid with sandbags to keep her at the bottom and made swimming to the surface hard.She tried to swim upward but it felt as if she was only expending her energy wastefully, while Lana laughed at her from without.Lana knocked on the wall of the tank, drawing Alvira’s attention to herself, before going to pick up a chalk and a board and wrote, “Didn’t you say you would rather die than let my plans work? What then are you struggling to survive for? If you die, Simon might just be free from me forever.” She wrote with a smile and the struggling Alvira paused.It was true. If she survived, what was she surviving for? Wasn’t it for Lana to keep on playing with her, hurting Simon and causing him to do things that he shouldn’t do? What was she living for if she was nothing but a weakness to the man she loved? She thought and suddenly fel
In Love Again 92: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 1
Detective Peter frowned uneasily as he stared at the location where the van had been seen, which was marked on the GPS map. It was about an hour ride away from the St. Joseph hospital and out of town, he didn’t understand why these men would come to a damaged car garage with Alvira.There was no hidden place to keep her there, so why bring her? Was some kind of exchange supposed to go on there? Why did he feel something was off? He was wondering when he got Asher’s call, when he heard Asher’s question he felt even more flustered and confused, was there something he was missing? He picked up his phone and called Kalvin.“Hello? Are you with Simon?”“Yes sir, he had an emergency, so I went to get the doctor for him,” Kalvin told him.“Okay,” That’s understandable, “But your Lane is with him right?”“...No sir, he went to get Mr. Simon something to eat.”“So you mean no one is with Simon at the moment?”“We…ll, yes sir…”“What!” Peter shouted and the detectives in the same car as him lo
In Love Again 91: TAKEN 2
“Josh! Josh!” Jared walked into the slightly messy but old office with anger just as Josh got off the phone with Simon. “Are you messing with me right now? Why didn’t you tell me when you got Alvira? It’s been five hours.”Josh's eyes flashed with impatience before he turned to Jared with a smile, “What are you so worked up about? I obviously tried to call you but the call was not going through.” Josh said as he placed another call.“Hello? It’s me. I need a huge diversion. One big enough to get those detectives out of the hospital.”Jared's face darkened when he heard the content of the call, “You are planning to send Simon over?”Josh glanced at him but didn’t respond immediately, he ended his call before turning to him, “Calm down Jared, we are all partners now. The least you can do is trust me.”“Trust you? You didn’t even call me over when you got her and now Simon is coming here. How can I trust you when I don’t know what exactly you are planning?” Jared asked unhappily. “If I
In Love Again 90: TAKEN 1
It’s been a week since Simon was shot and life became more peaceful than anyone expected. Josh and Lana disappeared from the eyes of the public and the police investigation was hitting a dead end everywhere. Their whereabouts could not be found and it was obvious that some powerful people were helping them, but those helping them could not be discovered either.For Alvira life was pretty much good, she and Simon were reconciled and they were even more attached than they used to be in the past. She guessed that when people go through challenges together, their feelings for each other get deeply rooted. Simon was still forcefully hospitalized, as his hand was still in the cast, and the new physiotherapist didn’t trust him to be careful with his leg even though it was fine. As much as she wanted to stay with him at the hospital, she also needed to rush back to school to finish her exams.She walked out of a high-end restaurant, with takeout bags in her hand followed by the detectives th
In Love Again 89: A JOINT PLOT
[A shootout occurred at a coffee shop down lane 23 today, Mr. Simon Walker who was present at the sight of the shootout was injured and has been hospitalized, as at the time this report was made, his present condition is still unknown. The police, during their investigation however discovered that Joshua Stone, a highly wanted criminal, working hand-in-hand with a woman called Lana Jones, daughter of the millionaire, Mr. George Jones was the culprit in yesterday’s shootout. As a result, these two suspects are declared wanted….]The TV was switched off before the reporter could finish her report and Lana turned to Josh angrily, “What the hell do you think you are doing?! You. Shot. Simon? Why did you shoot Simon?! The one you were supposed to shoot was Alvira! That was the plan! That was why I got you out of jail?!”“Stop freaking out! You were there, weren’t you? He took the bullet for her, couldn’t you see that? He took it for her before my man could shoot her down.”“That’s a lie!
In Love Again 88: RECONCILED
The next time Simon opened his eyes, he was in his private ward at St Joseph Hospital. He looked around confused, tried to sit up, and was immediately helped by Sarah who had arrived at one point in time.“Grandma? What are you doing here?”“Silly child, what do you mean what am I doing here? I am your family.”“Yes.., yes, I know. I am sorry.” Simon looked around the room, “Alvira…, where is she?”“She’s fine. She’s giving her statement to the police as we speak and your grandpa went with her, I must say, you did a good job this time. Alvira finally forgave you.” Sarah teased as she nodded towards his casted hand which was hung to his neck.Simon followed her line of sight and sighed helplessly. His grandma was always like this, trying to cheer a patient with the weirdest joke. “Grandma, I didn’t wish to get shot at.”“But it was still a good thing in disguise, wasn't it?” She winked and smiled.The door to the ward opened and Alvira walked in, seeing Simon awake in bed she rushed to
