She asked."He asked to pass it to you last week Friday, he'll be going for an interview just about the same time " Mia explained and she sighed she hadn't even had the time to check her mail during the weekend."Oh, I didn't know that" she said as she picked up the file Mia dropped."Alright Mia, thank you" Ariel said to her and she nodded respectfully as she bowed and walked out.Ariel pushed her chair backwards as she stood up , walked towards the window and slowly stretched her b
"Time of death 2:57pm " he said."I'm so sorry Mr Dunlop ""I'll give you guys some minutes , before they pack up her body " he doctor said as he walked out of the room alongside the other nurses.Olivia rushed in immediately as she knelt by Ariel's bed and began crying in a very loud voice."Ariel !" Was the only words her mind could form as she wailed."It's already enough that mom is in coma don't join her " "Is this what you meant by you miss your mom?!""This is not the right way to do it" she wailed ."Lord!"

He asked and she nodded "A little " she whispered."Ohh , I just hope they come back with their body parts complete " he said and she laughed shortly."Actually " she replied and the door to the room opened and they both turned to look at them ."No don't tell me that" Olivia snapped as they walked in and Miguel slowly turned back to look at Ariel with a knowing look and she just smiled."What's going on again" Miguel asked and they both looked up at him."Dude come and take your babe away from here she's so frustrating" he said and Olivia looked at him and rolled her eyes."Can you imagine Ariel , he wanted to get you
Meanwhile ....."How are you feeling" Xavier asked Ariel , he was done feeding her and was seating causally beside her on the bed, facing her."Better " she replied."Thank Goodness" he muttered."Thank you for everything , Xavier" she murmured ."We've gone past saying thank you babes , it's my responsibility to take care of you" he said and she slowly reached out for him to hold her hands and he did."Just don't scare me like that again" she said."I'll think about it" she teased as her lips stretched into a smile and he bursted out laughing."I love you so much" she said and his lips stretched into a smile."I love you too sweetheart" he replied."Kiss me" she murmured and he shook his head with a small smile as he moved closer and bent over her bed .He placed his lips on hers and they're lips moved in slow consistent rhythm, nobody trying to outrun anyone, just basically communicating feeling.The door slowly went open and Olivia and Miguel walked in , they disengaged slowly and
Next day .....Tuesday morning..At uncle Mark's Mansion...."See that's more like it " he said as he took a sip from his wine."Can you feel it? The fresh breathe of having no obstacle in your way again " he added turning to Liam.But Liam just sat there staring into empty space as he drank his wine slurping noisily."Liam don't make me get mad at you" he growled immediately, but Liam didn't say anything."Don't tell me you're starting to love this girl!" He said."I didn't say anything dad , " Liam replied."You didn't?!" "But your actions speaks louder!" He snapped."Whatever, I don't know what you're talking about!" He replied."This useless feeling you have for this girl will ruin all of our plans !" Uncle Mark said but Liam just kept mute."See once again , Xavier has taken what you always wanted from you again!" He said calmly this time around."This isn't the time to be overwhelmed by emotions , it's the time to get up and fight for what you want!" He said."There's nothing t
At the company ....12:00pm ..."Good Afternoon boss ," Mia greeted as she walked into Xavier's office."What's going on?!"

He said."Humm " she stuttered."It's the first time I'm trusting you with an assignment Mia , don't disappoint me !" He said as he stood up ,"Humm Humm , Sir ..." She stuttered as she turned around to face him as he walked out."It's part of your job description mia!

"I found something interesting also" Carl said and they turned to him."What was it?!" Xavier asked turning to face him."The police officer on duty that day , this isn't the first time something like this has happened under his watch" he said."And they've always found a way to cover it up like they're doing to Fred's death now , it's gradually going under the carpet!" Carl continued."See Miguel , that's why I insist going to the police is not an option!" Xavier said."I'm not going to let that happen !" "I'm going to talk to that officer !" Xavier said."To do what?!" Carl asked."To force him into confessing ?! Ofcourse not that not going to work" Carl added."His name is Officer Abani and I've carefully looked into him , he's said to be very corrupt!""So if the people after your Company has a connection with the police station then it's definitely him" he explained."If we're going to be doing any talking right now , it's talking to his victims " Carl said."I agree" Miguel imp

They heard Liam ask."I'm sorry" the guy replied."Should I let him in ?!!" Olivia asked turning to Ariel and she nodded slowly, Olivia helped her lift the bed to a sitting position before she quickly stood up and walked towards the door , she opened the door and slowly looked at Liam from toe to his face."Let him come in , Dasher" she said and he slowly moved away from the door , Liam eyed him contemptuously as he stormed inside the room."Oh my God Ariel " he said as he quickly bent over on the bed and pulled her into a tight hug."That's enough" Olivia said and slowly pulled him away from her."You
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 ?!!"

"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

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 ... " She tried to say but he interrupted her."Ariel please don't walk away " "Listen to me " he said."And she slowly walked back and sat on the chair beside him.""I didn't mean to kiss her " he whispered."I don't know what came over me " he said ."Do you still love her ?!"

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
