"She didn't call to check up on me for some days even when I was admitted, unlike her. ThankGod you were just right in time at the office when I had collapsed. I'm sorry if I got you scared, that day, I'm usually not like that."

"Naa. It's okay." Susan waves her hand of the talk. "I could see it in your eyes that you were already pissed. We all have our bad days."

"I guess so too." Xander continues "so I tried reaching out to her several times but she didn't pick up and just when she did, a man spoke furiously, demanding for a ransom for ketty's release."

"Wow...but why miss Ketty? Susan murmured

"Same question, that pondered within me up on till now."

"Mm-hmm."

"And just When I got a private investigator with the idea of setting a minute track chip device attached to the money mixed up with papers, they got away with the money even before we could get to their hide out and still threatened with a bigger ransom over the phone."

"Wow.. that was indeed a smart move. They know their gam

    (Three days after ketty's rescue)A light knock on Susan's door. The door handle moves down indicating an entrance. "Thank you so much. I mean, I didn't think confiding in a total stranger would be of any help." Xander says as he strolls in slow pace into her office."That was nothing. Anything for you sir." She giggle and roll her eyes back to her computer.Just then Xander walks even more closer. His fingers tapping her desk, simultaneously, looking subtly at her. "#We both know you didn't just do this for charity. What's the catch? Young lady!""Sorry I didn't get you properly?" Susan asks with looks of astonishment."Don't be sily, you heard me clearly."Hearing this, she chuckles blinking her eyes. "Are you for real?" Her jaws groaning as she stares at Xander in irritation. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Her head hungs backward. Is my mind playing tricks on me right now? she thought. "I did hear you, but not sure if that was for me.

    Few hours later...Her hands still stuck on the desk, her fingers stiffened in same position as the feeling of unease raced unresistantly through her spine. She just wants to go home, nothing else.She tries to focus on her work but her mind keeps drifting. Her hands feeling clammy and her stomach, in knots. Feeling like she is suffocating, trapped in her cubicle. She longs to be outside, to feel the sun on her face and the wind in her hair.Susan grabs her hand bag on her way out of the office wearing a focused and formal face. She normally waited for like an extra hour after scheduled work hours to atleast make sure that she worked out with Ava on their way home but today was definitely not as cheerful as anticipated, considering the fact that Ketty just got rescued from some set of hired hoodlums and the Kidnappers in question did get apprehended by the COPs, still undergoing further investigations.She was expecting some sought of joy atmosphere around the office as Mr Xander prac

    "WHuuuu, that was close. ThankGod I was just in time."Ava talks to herself as she closes on a distance to her office door. She calmly pushes the door, then slamms it behind her, the moment she stepped in. Exhaling and inhaling breathes of relief. Her hands still cleched to the door handle. She is glad, she got to the office before her annoying boss, despite her lateness.She flicks her hand bag to the desk as she says her usual short prayers before any other work routine. Patting her head gently, she pulls the seat to her ass. "Mmmmm. WHuuuu," she let out her breathe when she perceives the freshly brewed coffee, about to take a sip, her phone beeps.Just then, she realises that her data connection has been active since last night and she had slept off without turning it off. "Ugh! Why now? Who is this, that doesn't care about my sanity?" In curiosity, she picks up her phone and behold, a message from none other than Mr Xander, her boss.

    "Offcourse, dinner date." Xander responds with his eyes all sterned. "Any problems?""Well... Not really a problem... but in my own opinion, I think we'll have to visit the saloon to have you cleaned up and later check into an exquisite suite store for a new pair of suite. Yes, that will be good to go.""Really? All this–""Yes boss." Mr Dum adds, smiling. "You're a public figure and can't afford looking all sweaty sticky and bushy for his first dinner date.""I don't see what" –xander rubs his hand over his stubble– "the big deal is.""You're right boss, it isn't really a big deal at all but that's the vibe. Except, my opinion doesn't count on this." Mr Dum fixes his eyes in the air avoiding his bosses eye contact"Okay you see that right there, is a NO! NO! emotional blackmail and I'm definitely not playing that game." Xander smiles at Mr Dum, winging his fingers."Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" They bursts in laugh, hopping into the car as Mr Dum drives off.

I'm good now, atleast I've lived fifteen years of my life as an independent young man. What more could break me?"Susan chuckles in surprise. "Wow...fifiten years all by yourself, that must have being a really difficult time for you out there alone." "You don't wanna know about it." He giggles and roll his eyes. " But that's all past tense now.""Yeah... Cheers to the present and a better future." They both toast their glass tumbler cups of soft drinks in the air with beams of excitement.Few minutes later...Still drinking, Xander finds himself completely captivated by Susan that as he glances at his wrist watch, he couldn't believe how much he enjoyed her company and her sparkling conversation, surprised that they had already spent hours and it's looks like they are just getting started.

That feeling over there,You read my mind, I must say.""So if you weren't working at the EMPIRE, what would you be doing?" Xander asks whilst his eyes turned to his phone."Hmmm, what I will be doing?"

She was like a second mother to me. But little did I know that the woman I adore is," he breathes heavily. "In fact, the devil herself." Susan, knowing nothing is wowed, "What do you mean, Xander? How could your aunt be...?"Interrupting her, Xander continues. "Just listen, Susan. It's important you understand as it might help you remember some things alright. My aunt recently confessed everything to me. This week, she finally got to pay for her crimes and is now in prison. She is charged with murder, kidnapping, and manipulation. It's unimaginable what she has done." He hisses.With an unbelievable look on her face, she adjusts to ask him. "Murder? kidnapping? I can't believe it. Who did she...?"

    "How are you feeling?" John gives her a warm hug. "We rushed here as soon as we received Xander's call." Seeing John, Susan's eyes light up with recognition and relief."I was wondering when you'd come. I'm so glad to see you." She looks at Ketty, her expression confuses. She drags John much closer to whisper into his ears. "But who are these two people with you?" John and Ketty exchanges puzzle glances, their minds racing to understand the situation.John is so lost. What is happening here?" He questions in his mind. "Susan, don't you remember? This is Ketty, your sister-in-law to be, and my sweetheart.

    "Wait... Wait a minute." Xander stops for a second, stunned and shocked. "You were the doctor who delivered me and ketty at the hospital?" "Wow... Ketty? Is that her name?""Yeah. Dr Godfred or whatever you bear, but you sold my sister under my aunt's influence? Is that what you want to tell me?" Fast running tears run down Xander's eyes as he rethinks everything.Mr. Godfred with a heavy sigh, "Yes, Xander, it pains me to admit it. I was weak, and under the influence of your aunt, I made a terrible decision. I sold your sister to ensure her safety, or so I thought at that time. So did your aunty think, but I couldn't sell her as my heart will not sleep. I gave her away to my elder sister, who was married and didn't have a child back then. So instead of selling, I gave her over. I know that nothing I say here can make you forgive me and my act, and I take full responsibilities for my actions."Xander's emotions surge with anger and sadness coursing through him.

He's already undoubtfully in love with her and she is the one for him and he can't let vengeance cloud his judgment. As he steps in, the heavy oak doors swung open, revealing the bustling police station within. Detectives hurriedly moving from one room to another, their voices muffles by the thick walls. He takes another deep breath, steeling himself for what lay ahead while he closes on a distance to the front desk. "Excuse me," he calls out to the officer behind the counter.
