"Rose, you seem sluggish since this morning. Do you feel sick because you honestly look pale!" One of Rose's friends at school had asked her as they left the academic building. "No, I didn't just get enough sleep last night!" Rose responded quickly."But why do you always like to stay up so late? You must be studying way too hard. I have to go, see you tomorrow." Her friend said before leaving.The moment her friend had left. She tried to take a step further but a blinding pain in her head had hit her hard causing her to almost hit the ground but strong arms caught her before she could. "Rose," the voice of Ray came as he held her tightly to stop her from falling. The minutes she had gotten herself back. She quickly and briskly untangled herself from his grip."Hey Ray, what exactly are you doing here, and didn't we agree that you won't bother me anymore after our date?" She asked plainly while adjusting her hair. "But Rose, I'm not here to bother you. It was actually a good thing
"So how is it that you were not able to get back the money that was stolen from you? Does that also mean? You would go broke?" Tessa asked as they strolled down the stairs."Of course not, I still have other business. I won't just suddenly just get poor. Do you know what my concern is right now? It's Jessica. How could it be that she is still alive? I saw her pictures as proof the night that she was killed by my hired killers." Claudia voiced out displeased."You mean that you ordered for Jessica to be killed?" Tessa questioned with widened eyes. "That's right, she is causing trouble between me and Raya," Claudia uttered yet again to her friend. "But isn't it true that the evidence found in your house was her?" Tessa uttered."That is exactly my point, how could that have happened?" Claudia questioned. "Well, there are two answers to that. Either, Jessica is haunting you or your hired killers are the ones who have fooled you." Her friend simply told her and that had made Claudia mor
Clara and Claudia seemed to be stacking up some few boxes when Raya walked inside the room."Mummy, is our flight leaving tonight?" She asked simply."Yes darling, we have to leave right away because I'm already scheduled for a series of checkups for the next few days. I'm honestly sorry that we had to rush up everything like this," Claudia explained while patting her hair softly. "It's alright mummy, I won't complain because I'm making this trip for you to get better." Raya clamored with a smile. "Aunt Claudia? You are leaving?" Lisa who had sauntered into the room asked. "We are going abroad, Lisa because mummy is sick and needs some treatment," Raya said.Soon, they had begun to take out there luggage one after the other down the stairs as Claudia walked behind them. "Clara, I would expect you to be in charge here when Raya and I aren't around," Claudia uttered while Clara bopped her head in understanding. "Alright, you have nothing to worry about, I have heard all that you sa
Claudia's eyes lit up slowly. She stared around while calling on Raya's name. "Mummy, you are finally awake," Raya said while going over to sit beside Claudia. "Raya, thank Goodness you are here. I thought that you left me already!" Claudia exclaimed as the door of her room slowly pulled open a little bit. Jessica seemed to be eavesdropping through the open space without them noticing. "I can never do that to you mommy," Raya voiced out as Jessica's eyes slowly filled itself with hurt. "Thank you so much darling, I don't know how I would ever live without you here!" Claudia uttered while patting Raya's hair calmly. "Me too mummy, I also can't live without you too. Please you have to get better okay? The doctors are on their way to help you feel much better." Raya simply said."Sweetheart? If you were made to choose between me and Jessica. Whom would you choose, would you choose me? The one who loved you, took care of you, and raised you like her own or would you choose that woma
Tessa walked into her friend's room before uttering the very words from her mouth. "Your lawyers have worked out all the papers that you need and they made sure to include your medical certificate from your doctor!" She told Claudia as she rubbed her hands together. “It won’t take long for everything to be ready!” She added."Uhm_ good." Claudia commended with a smile. "It looks like Jessica is ready to fight back. I saw her downstairs, she is still here in your own house. I don't think she plans on leaving here without Raya. She isn't the Jessica you used to know, the one who was quiet as a mouse and could be fooled so easily. That lady grew a backbone, Claudia, and I think that she is seriously into something bigger." Tessa voiced out to her friend. "I'm not afraid of Jessica at all, I control her daughter. Raya listens to no one else but me," Claudia uttered proudly with a smirk displayed on her face. "But how long would she Claudia? Let's face it, Jessica would always be Raya
Mitch had offered them some food and water while they found a table to seat together with the other guest."Thank you so much, Mitch," Hendrix exclaimed while helping her with the cup of water. "This is yours!" Mitch said, dropping another cup of juice in front of Hendrix. "Thank you very much!" He told her before sipping from the drink. "Thank you, actually. You shouldn't have bothered!" Travis reckoned while glaring into space."You don't have to thank me because it wasn't much trouble to me. It was you who made a great effort and took your time to come here but then I'm still very happy that you and Hendrix had made it here because now I feel like I'm not alone anymore." Mitch uttered warmly. "I keep telling you, Mitch. Stop saying that you are alone because we are both here for you!" Hendrix muttered. Travis slowly located her tender hands before clutching them slowly. "He is right, you know, whenever you feel sad. You can count on Hendrix or even me, we would always be her
Nora was dressing to leave for the club. Today was practically a day off for Rose as she walked out of the shower before sitting in front Of the portable dressing Mirror of their room."Hmmm, oh my goodness. Talk about being in love." Nora blurted out while glaring at Ray who stood outside the house without moving away. "I gotta go but I got to give it to your lover boy. I don't think he's giving up any time soon," Nora signaled as Rose walked towards the window to maybe have a look. "It's getting annoying already. He won't leave," Rose uttered while glaring at Ray who seemed to have found a spot to sit. "Give the guy a chance and let him go home, he doesn't look like he plans on giving up!" Nora said with a pout but all that seemed to be in vain. "He can stay there for all I care, I already told him to leave!" Rose persisted. "Have some pity. I know that the poor guy is tired and exhausted!" Nora persuaded. "Nobody asked him to stay, it was his decision because I never forced h
"I would rephrase what I had just said, give me back my daughter and if you don't do exactly as I say, I'm going to take this to court!" Jessica voiced out as Claudia clutched the little girl tightly. "I would be glad if you would save us all the trouble, I know that you are aware that you would lose anyway. We all know that Raya is my daughter and that gives me the right as her mother and not you!" Jessica bellowed. "Yes you are right Jessica, you and I don't need to take this to court because you have won. Raya would just end up getting hurt and I don't honestly want that," Claudia said as her eyes and face were masked with sadness. "Alright, for everybody's peace of mind. I'm returning your daughter to you, Jessica!" Claudia uttered in dry sobs as she pushed the little girl towards the direction of her mother but that had ignited sobs from the girl. "Mommy," Raya simply said in a shaky voice. "You have to promise me that you would take good care of her, okay?" Claudia questi
