That Evening....7:00 pm ......"I finally have my hands on you " Xavier said as he slowly bent down to Benjamin's level."So tell me , Liam asked you to kill my wife ?!" Xavier asked and immediately Benjamin spat in his face."Arghhhh" Xavier growled as he stood up and moved away from him , he took a napkin from Carl and wiped his face and he turned immediately with full force and landed a blow on his face immediately.He held him by the collar of his cloth and dealt him with blows on his face , Benjamin could only grunt as his hands and legs were tied and he couldn't do anything."How dare you , make an attempt on my wife's life ?!!" Xavier growled as he kept on giving him blows on his face ."You'll regret ever working with that idiot " he said and Carl quickly held him back."You'll kill him " Carl said"He deserves to die for what he did to Ariel " Xavier growled."Calm down, his death is definitely not what we want " Carl said and Xavier let go of him immediately and Carl quietl
"A lady ?!" Ariel whispered."Yes , A lady !" He answered" My mind is running wild from all the possibilities " he replied."A lady , how ?! Where ?! " He said and she exhaled."This is actually really deeper than I thought , which lady could Liam have possibly cornered to work for him " he continued."I can't help but be worried " he added."I've thought and thought and then I can't come up with any lady " he said."You don't have to worry about that " Ariel said."The lady might just be one of the shields they use when it's time to fight , I'm very sure she's not important " she said."Are you sure ?!" He asked."Ofcourse not , I'm not sure but at the same time will you kill your self trying to figure out who the lady is ?!" "No!""The most important thing know is that we're sure where all these funny and thoughtless attacks are coming from ""And you can develop a strategy so these things wouldn't happen again " she said ."You're right " he murmured."Don't worry , just as you'v
Next day ....Wednesday Morning ......10:00 am ...."We're here " Carl said to Xavier and he looked out at the building through the mirror."Let's go in " Xavier said as they both stepped out of the car.They approached the building after staring careful at the street .Opening the gate ,they walked into the compound."It's a warehouse" Xavier said and Carl nodded.Immediately they got to the main entrance they tried to open the door but it was locked.Xavier tried to force it open but it was an industrial door and couldn't be forced open ."Step aside " Carl said as he reached inside his pocket and brought out a skeleton key.He inserted it carefully inside the door and twisted it immediately, it came open and they walked in.Immediately they got in, the whole place was empty , not even a pin was there ."Shit !We're late" Carl said."It's like they knew we were coming and they moved whatever was here immediately" he said."This place doesn't look abandoned" he said as he touched th
"Benjamin!!" She yelled and Carl slowly dropped his gun from her head."Shit!!" Xavier whisper as they watched his head shatter because of the bullet and he fell to the floor with the chair he was seating in."Benjamin !!" She wailed as she ran up to him and began to shake him violently."Why did you do this to me " she wailed."Your boss wasn't worth this " she said as she kept on crying."Ahhh, my only child " she wailed."Now I'm childless " she said as she kept on crying.Carl slowly walked up to her as he pulled her up , she kept on struggling with him but he was finally able to pull her up and drag her out No mother should actually have to go through the agony of seeing her child dies , Benjamin was one hell of a sorrow child , he has caused his parents a whole lot and Xavier couldn't help but pity his mother.He had always thought he really just wanted to see Benjamin dead but seeing him now lying in the pool of his own blood lifeless.He realized death is a really strong word
"So he ratted me out to save your ass !" Liam ranted and Rose laughed."That's why he's my most trusted, he'd go to the extreme for me " she said ."So you're happy someone killed himself for you " Liam said."Should I be sad ?!" She replied with a small smile."Well his loyalty to you is ruining my cover " Liam said."You clearly heard what Mia told us !" He replied." I'm sorry " she replied dramatically."Will you be going for his burial ?!" Liam asked."What sort of question is that " she asked."How do you expect me to attend his burial " she replied."I'll go when no one is there , not when everyone is " she replied and Liam nodded."Now he has confirmed Xavier's suspicions " "Benjamin has always just keep finding ways to make life difficult for me even in death " he said and she bursted out laughing."That's my Benjamin for you " she replied and he rolled his eyes."What do I do now ""You clearly were the one that nosy detective saw but he thinks it was Mia" he said and she l
Fast forward ....Friday Afternoon...1:00 pm "Hii" Jemimah said as in walked in quickly towards where Ariel and Xavier were seated."I'm so sorry I'm late ""I got caught up with something unavoidably" she said as she took her seat opposite them ."That's alright Sisi Jemimah" Xavier said she laughed at his funny accent of pronouncing her name."It's Yoruba, you're pronouncing it as English " she said and they just smiled "My bad my bad " he said."Oh that's okay , beside the Sisi Jemimah is just like a Business name ""You can call me Jemimah" she said and he sighed "Alright I think that's better " he said and she smiled."So shall we get right into it " she asked and they nodded."Good ""So the kind of wedding theme I mapped out for you is one from the western Nigeria" she said."The Yoruba people , just like you " Xavier supplied and she nodded with a smile."That's right""You seem to know a lot " she said with a small smile."I do !!" He replied and she laughed."So , moving
"Are you satisfied?!" Xavier asked as he turned to look at Ariel ."More than satisfied " she replied."Okay then let's go ?!" He asked and she turned back to the table and picked up her bag."You added my mom to the list of family members?!" Ariel asked as they got into the car."Ofcourse " he replied."Awwn " she cooed and he ignited the car and drive out."That's just the right thing to do " he said."Or don't you think she'd have been awake by then?!" He asked."I think so " she replied."I hope so ""Infact I pray so " she added and he smiled."Don't worry I have a deep gut feeling that your mom would witness our wedding and it'll be amazing" he said."But what if she doesn't?!" Ariel whispered."Let's not begin to consider the negative aspect of things now baby, if she really isn't awake by our wedding period, we have no choice " he replied."There are still many of celebrations for her to join in with " he said and she smiled with a small nod."But for now let's just stick with
"Come back here , we need to talk" she said and he paused in his track and turned to face her."You just insulted her I need to apologize to her !" He replied."I said , come back here we need to talk !!" She repeated strictly and he rolled his eyes as he walked closer to her."What was the meaning of this message I got from dad !" She said as she brought out her phone "I should corrupt the app we created and every other copy without remedy?!" She said and scoffed "Do you know how long and stressful it took us to build those apps ?!" She said."The earlier you guys come up with something else the better for all of us !" She replied."Because me I won't be doing this!""My effort , time and everything was included in this project also , now you want me to go ahead and ruin it?!" She growled."How more wicked can you get?!" She said."Huhhh" Liam exhaled deeply."Dad knew just perfectly that this will be your reaction " Liam said."Yes and I'm very happy I didn't disappoint! Because I
Three weeks later ....."Will all the matriculating students rise as we take the school pledge " And Olivia stood up with a small smile as she turned to look at Miguel and the others where they were seated and Miguel blew her a kiss.She dramatically caught it and placed it on her chest as she turned back to face the stage and she joined in with the pledge.****"Congratulations baby " Miguel said to her as he pulled her into an hug immediately they were done with the matriculation program."Thank you baby " she replied with a wide smile."Mama " Michaela called excitedly as she ran up to her ."Aww , my baby " she said as she picked her from the floor and swirled her as she giggled happily and she dropped her."Congratulations Bestie , I'm very happy for you " Ariel said as she pulled her into an hug."I love you " she added ."Congrats " Xavier said as he hugged her too."Thank you Xavier " she said."My baby " Miranda said as she walked up to her ."I'm super proud of you ""Thank

She replied."But we seem to be safe though , she has Amnesia" she said."Still we need to act fast ""After what Mia did , I don't think we can trust her again""We can't even trust her " he added and she nodded ."So now what do you plan to do next ?!" She asked."Hmm "" The past few days got me thinking really deeply " he said and I've come up with just the perfect plan " he said."But for now " he murmured and moved closer to her ""I missed you " he murmured."Your dad is upstairs!" She said immediately and he laughed "You lie , he already left " he said and they bursted out laughing."So you missed me " she asked as she moved closer to him."Hm hm" he replied as he placed his lips on hers and she giggled as they kissed."Rose ?!!" Xavier called as he barged into the house and she jumped on the chair immediately and stood up "Xav
"I do " she whispered immediately."Is my Mom really dead ?!" She asked in a whisper and Carl nodded slowly."She is " he whispered and she bursted out wailing."I'm sorry " he said as he pulled her into an hug ."Liam is such a bastard " she said after some minutes of crying."He has said it and he did it " she murmured."He killed our mothers, my own innocent mother !!" She said as tears began to fall from her face again."Now you can bring him to book " Carl said and she nodded."Him , my dad and Rose !" She whispered."They'll all suffer for what they did to me !" She replied."Rose ?!""Did you just say Rose ?!" Carl asked."Yes , Rose !" She replied ."Oh my God Xavier needs to hear this " he said as he picked up his phone and put a call across to Xavier immediately.Meanwhile 7:00 pm ...At The Dunlop's Residence ....Xavier slowly walked to the rooftop of the house and took his seat on the wall way up there, turning to face outside, any small push could send him flying downsta
"What ?!!!" Xavier and Ariel chorused immediately.And the two women turned to look at them immediately."How dare you insinuate I'm cheating on my husband" Belinda growled."Whether you are or whether you're not , I don't really care ""All I care about is my daughter meeting with her father and getting the recognition she deserves!!" She replied."Your daughter is meeting no one !" Belinda said."She won't get a dime of what my son has worked for!" She said."Not every one is as shallow as you Belinda""My daughter doesn't need Anders or his money!!" She replied ."She just deserves to know who her father is !" She said."Anders can never be her father !!" Belinda said."Anders has only one child the whole world knows and that's Xavier !!" Belinda said and Miranda laughed."Then explain to me , why some months ago you offered me money just so that I don't talk to Anders about Ariel!""If you knew she wasn't his daughter why did you offer me money to go far away and not come into you
"What ?!!!" Everyone one of them yelled even Olivia ."This is bullshit !!" Ariel said immediately and she stood up."I'm out of here" she said and picked up her bag and stormed towards the door."Dude !! " Miguel said and Xavier stood up immediately and ran to her."Look I was drunk , I didn't know what I was doing ""I had no idea what I was doing, I was highly intoxicated " he said and he held her hands.She snatched her hands from him and turned to face him."So You have the right to cheat on me , because you were drunk?!""So after I left your house yesterday , she didn't leave , she was still there ?!" She said."You know after Miguel's speech , I was considering forgiving you ""Because ofcourse you're only human and we all make mistakes " she said."But this ?! Fucking your ex ?!""It wasn't a mistake Xavier , it's a choice you made !""Something you chose to do and I can't live with it !!" She said and wiped the teras on her face."I'm sorry , I was drunk I mistook her for yo
Later in the day .....10:00 am ..."I'm sorry for speaking to you rudely yesterday " Xavier said to Miguel over the phone "That's alright," he replied."She's leaving this morning" he said."She's packing her things already " he said and Miguel nodded."Okay ""What's done is done there's no need to cry over spilled milk " he said and Xavier nodded slowly."Did Ariel agree to come here ?!""What did Olivia say " Xavier asked."She'll be coming in by one clock today " Miguel replied and Xavier looked up to see Rose dragging her bag downstairs."Thank you , let's all meet at your office today , we need to talk " he said."What's going on , what happened that it's so important we have to talk ?!"

7:00 pm ..."Oh my God" Xavier murmured as he staggered inside the house "Xavier " Rose called at once as she stood up and limped towards him, holding the chair for support."You're drunk " she Said"Drunk ?!" He replied with a tut."I'm not drunk " he replied "What is wrong with you ?!!" She asked as she wrapped her hands around his waist and placed his hands over his neck as they both staggered to the largest sofa in the living room."I'm perfectly fine " he replied with a small laugh."I'm good " he added."You don't look good " she replied as she stood up about to walk away and get him water , the expression in his face changed immediately."Ariel " he whispered as he held her hands ."I'm not ...

Miranda asked ."We were already making progress right " She added and Ariel slowly walked to her and sat beside her on the chair.She slowly leaned in and wrapped her hands around her Mom and rested her head in her bossom."What's going on ?!" Miranda whispered."Just let me stay like this Mom" she said as she closed her eyes and Miranda slowly reached for her arms and slowly caressed it ."I'll be fine Mom " she whispered as she finally raised her head."You can talk to me dear " Miranda said and Ariel smiled."It's nothing important " she replied."I'll be fine actually " she said."See ," she said as she raised her hands and showed it to her mother."Ohh, you returned the ring " She said and Ariel nodded slowly."Probably why I'm feeling the way I
Meanwhile 9:30am Xavier's Residence..."Good Morning" Xavier greeted as he walked into the room was staying."What are you doing ?!" He asked immediately he saw her removing the bandages on her legs and he quickly let go of the door and walked towards her."Good Morning" she whispered calmly."I'm trying to see if I can walk on my own without the bandages , " she said."I'm beginning to feel like a liability here , I need to leave " she said."Look , it's even still swollen " he said as he took the bandages from her hands and began to wrap it back."How about I just take you to the hospital so you can get treatments once and for all " he said."After my accident, it has been traumatic going to the hospital" she replied."I'm sorry " he said and he cipped the bandage immediately he was done wrapping it."All done " he said "Come on let me help you downstairs" he said."I made breakfast" he added as he wrapped his hands her shoulders and lifted her up."Atleast you can standup and at
