“Stacy!”A voice called and they all turned at once to see who it was. To Stacy and Gina, they wondered who the elderly looking woman was and how she knew Stacy, while Brian was shocked to see his mother speed walking towards them.“M-Mmmom” Brian called but only got ignored as his mom went to hug the Stacy who immediately turned stiff when she felt the hug.“Oh, my dear future daughter-in-law! dear child! Are you okay? I came as fast as I could” she said worriedly then turned to Brian and hit his shoulder, “you horrible horrible child! My future daughter- in-law and her mother were in danger, and you didn’t tell me! Why did I even give birth to you” she yelled then turned to Stacy again, “Stacy dear are you okay?”“Ma’am, I’m okay I...”“No you’re not okay! I know Brian has been treating you badly right? That’s why he didn’t tell me you were all at the hospital right?” She asked holding on to Stacy’s shoulder, seeing Stacy turning to look at Brian and not giving any response, she let

I’ll call the police, what you’re doing is against the law! You have no right to keep me here!”“So how about we report your case with Miss Stacy to the police, I think that one goes perfectly well with the law, don’t you think?”“Do you know who I am!? I’ll sue you and have you beaten up to death!”The blindfolded Cyrus shouted then Brian steps away from him and then orders one of his men to remove the blindfold before leaving the room.Feeling someone coming close to him again Cyrus began to scream even more, then suddenly his blindfold came off, then he saw a group of men all dressed in black and he could barely see their faces.“Who are you people?! Release me now or you’ll regret it!” He shouted almost manically.“And exactly why would I regret it?” Brian said slowly strolling into

Why are you crying?” She asks then goes to touch Stacy’s arm, but she was stunned when Stacy turns to hug tightly and began crying even harder.“Stacy dear don’t cry anymore” Valerie says while patting Stacy lightly.“Don’t cry so much, come on tell me what’s making you cry? Hmm? Didn’t the doctor already say she was stable for the moment? Don’t cry” Valerie says then slowly pushes Stacy back and lifts up her face.“She’s not showing signs of waking up, if not for these machines, she might not even be half alive, aunt I’m really worried”.“Look at me Stacy, everything will be fine”.Right after Valerie spoke there was a knock on the door then after a few seconds a lady around Stacy’s age and a man came in, then Stacy recognized them

Gina remarked, observing the slight redness on Brian's face."Aegina!" Stacy sharply called out, lightly reprimanding Gina with a smack on the arm."Stacy, Gina is not mistaken. Look at him – his face and even his ears are red," Anna pointed out, making Stacy a bit nervous but she promptly responded. "Mom, it's getting late. I think you should go home and rest now. You've just recently been discharged from the hospital, and I..."

In that moment, Evie was in tears, because she knew exactly what awaited her.While driving to the hospital, Brian called Ryan, who answered promptly. "Brian, I'm your half-brother and personal assistant, not your girlfriend. How many times will you call me in a day?" Ryan said playfully. Brian who could tell he was joking around chose to be serious in response."If you don't want me to call you anymore, that's fine; I won't call you," he said, waiting for Ryan's reply, but it never came."Aren't you going to answer?" he asked, feeling slightly frustrated."Oh, I thought you were going to hang up after you were done talking, so I decided not to say anything.""RYAN!""AARON!""I'll get you!"

After leaving his house, Brian drove back to the hospital to check on Stacy. While driving, thoughts of the look Ryan had given him earlier that day when he saw him holding Stacy’s hand lingered. He understood the meaning behind that look – Ryan was teasing him, teasing him about Stacy. Brian, realizing he was getting distracted, slowed down and parked his car by the side of the road.“Why can’t I stop thinking about her?” he exclaimed out loud, then rested his head on the steering wheel in irritation. After some minutes, a knock on his car window interrupted his thoughts. Looking up, he saw a young girl staring at him intently.
