The private room in which Jessica was kept wasn't that enormous but it was spacious to have so much air, she had been dressed neatly in the hospital gown and placed on the uncomfortable hospital bed while Rodrigo sat beside her asleep. Her eyes heavily and slowly lit up before she scrutinised her entire environment. "Rodrigo?" She called weakly. "Umm," was his simple reply before his eyes lit up. "You are awake, you know what? You shouldn't have left a while ago. You shouldn't have gone to Claudia's house, now look what happened to you!" Rodrigo voiced out not pleased. "I'm sorry, it's just that I honestly wanted to see my daughter Raya," Jessica had said while trying to get up but her attempt was abortive because of the blinding pain from the left side of her stomach. Rodrigo rubbed a weary and tired hand over his face before enunciating his next statement."Look, it's not right to be impossible in what you do but what if I hadn't followed you there or what if her guards had se
Claudia had just arrived at their resort which seemed to be guarded by a lot of guards and maids."This place is really beautiful," Clara commented, amazed by the environment."I'm so tired because this trip was so tiring. I'm starving right now and I'm sure that you all are also hungry!" Claudia uttered as she ushered them towards the dining area. "Claudia, your resort is truly beautiful and breathtaking!" Clara asserted, still astonished by the way everywhere peeked. Claudia nodded with a proud smile as the maid began to drop a delicious-looking meal on the table. After dinner was over and everybody had been shown their room, Raya sat down still staring at her meal without even touching it. "Baby, you haven't touched your food! Don't you like the food? Do you want me to have another food cooked just for you? Common dear, tell mummy what you want!" Claudia encouraged while lifting her chin to glare at her. "No need for that mummy, I just remembered my sisters Rose and Sasha, I ju
Jessica was being wheeled out of the hospital by Rodrigo, he had paid off all her hospital expenses and bills. Ever since their discussion yesterday! He had given it a lot of thought and he had made up his mind to question her about her beef with Claudia. "You haven't told me anything about your beef with Claudia yet. How it all started and how you had ended up this way," Rodrigo asked. "My husband became her husband," Jessica answered rhetorically."What?" Rodrigo uttered in shock."That lady made me believe that Travis went overseas and after that, she made me a slave in that place while she took my second daughter Raya, and right now. My other two daughters are both missing." Jessica explained bitterly. "How about your husband?" Rodrigo asked."I honestly do not know, I haven't seen him yet!" She responded. "Since you've got separated from him, you haven't seen him yet?" Rodrigo inquired yet again and she wiggled her head softly to indicate no."Don't you think he plotted this
"The thieves around there are very notorious sir," the officer who was uniformly dressed told both Ray and Rose. "But officer, we already gave you the description of the suspect. Maybe, you can do something about it, it's really important that we get that bag back." Ray had told him."You have nothing to worry sir because we are doing something about it. The police officers in the local area are keeping watch!" The officer explained. "You know what, I don't mind about the bag but all I want is my bracelet which is in that bag. Officer, that bracelet is very important to me!" Rose had said in a pleading way. "You should not worry because we promise to find that thief." The officer assured them. "Officer, just let us know if you hear anything or have a piece of good news. Okay?" Ray said. "Of course, I would!" The officer responded. "Ray, I'm not leaving this place until my bag is back. If you want to leave, you can go now!" Rose told him with a worried filled expression."Rose, w
"Look at all of this Jessica, inside this house is where the treasure is. They are guards here, and they watch over the place diligently! There is also a surveillance camera located inside and outside of the house." Rodrigo said while revealing some pictures to her. "They are also alarm systems that are updated, take a closer look!" He said, handing the whole picture to her. Jessica slowly stared at the picture one after the other intently and quietly. "Seems like it would be impossible!" She finally voiced out with a frown. "That's exactly what they are trying to show us, this is the exact way they want us to think and that is why we need a closer study on the loophole of their security system so we can go inside without them knowing." He told her firmly."But how, how are we going to do this?" Jessica questioned."We would have to train thoroughly. You are the only one I can depend on Jessica, I trust that you will do what is necessary, and you are the only one who can help me."
Meanwhile, Mitch had gone to the cemetery to see Travis and maybe ask him if he had seen any necklace. She sauntered into the environment to catch glimpse of a man cleaning the area from a distance. "Where could that necklace be? I have walked around this place so many times, I wish Travis had found it!" She uttered to herself.She walked in his direction before throwing him the question that she wanted to let out. "Uhmm, can I ask you something?" She told the man who halted in whatever he was doing. "Yes, what is it?" The man responded."Have you seen Travis?" She asked him. "Yes, he was over there at the mausoleum, you should look around there." The man had directed her. "Thank you very much!" She voiced out before walking towards the direction she had been directed to but the floor began to sway beneath her. A false sense of motion made her head spin countless times. She felt unsteady and before she knew anything, she had lost her balance. The last thing she saw before the d
"Grandma, grandma please wake up! Could you please wake up? What happened to you? Grandma, please forgive me because I came late to see you!" Mitch sobbed while holding the old woman's hand tightly. "Grandma!" She called yet again but the woman didn't respond. "Mitch, what do you think you are doing? Can't you see that she is resting right now," Chantelle's voice came. "Aunty, I just wanted to know if grandma Flora is doing okay!" Mitch uttered with a cracked voice. "Oh really now! You know what? We all know that you don't truly care about her, isn't that true?" Chantelle said. "Of course not, I do care about her!" Mitch argued."If you honestly cared about her as you claim. You shouldn't be up everywhere, you already knew that she was sick but you kept going out every now and then!" Chantelle yelled out. "No, what you are saying is not true," Mitch said hiccuping. "I think you should go back to the diner instead. Get going!" Chantelle uttered while trying to get the girl out o
Rose was going over to the bus stop to head to school when she bumped into a motorcyclist who almost hit her with his bike. She became irritated when the person held her waist before she could plunge into the fall. "Hey you, don't touch me jerk!" She yelled while using the book in her hands to hit him but he instantly stopped her by removing the helmet he had on his head. "Rose, I'm sorry. Did I scare you!" The familiar voice came. "Ray, what on earth are you doing here?" She asked glaring around. "Of course, I'm here to pick you up. Have you forgotten that today is our date?" Ray told her and that had ignited a worried expression. "Huh, but I haven't even dressed up yet." She said looking at her uniform. "That's fine, even if you are putting on rugged cloth I don't honestly care. What matters more to me is that I'm with you!" He told her as she kneaded the back of her ear. "Here, let's go!" He said handing her his helmet. "This is going to be a ride? Isn't it going to be dang
