Everyone in the hall went silent. Even the music stopped. The couples on the dancefloor stared at the trio intently.Zara was shell-shocked. Her jaw went slack. She blinked as if to make sure she wasn't dreaming. What did Scott just say? Did he say that he loved her? Was he drunk? Ha, this has got to be a joke!At the thought of this, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "You have got to be kidding me, Scott! Stop making such expensive jokes. You are going to give people the wrong idea."Scott inched closer. "I'm not kidding, Zee. I truly love you. It might sound unbelievable, but my heart calls your name. I still want you."The onlookers gasped at this. Zara looked around, only to find that all eyes were on her now. Her heart suddenly began to thump. She looked at Scott who had been staring at her with his eyes glistening strangely.Zara was tongue-tied now. Thankfully, Jordan came to her rescue. He put his arm around her shoulder and broke Scott's hold on her wrist. He then said, "Le

Zara froze on the spot. The reporters continued to press their microphones close to her mouth even though she was yet to say anything. Cameras continued to flash and roll. She pressed her temple with her eyes shut.When she opened her eyes again, there was a ferocious blaze in them. She looked at them and frowned. "Do you know I could have you all arrested for trespassing?"The reporters looked at themselves with hesitation. But one of them said in a husky voice, "We are just doing our jobs. Can you just tell us what's between you and Scott? Are you guys back together?"Zara flared up. "Didn't I make myself clear in the statement released over the weekend?"In case you can not read, I clearly stated that all questions should be directed to Scott. He was the one who created a scene and spewed rubbish. I have no comments to make aside from that. My personal life is none of y'all's business."All the reporters were shocked by her outburst. Little did they know that there was more to come

Zara paused for a while and swallowed hard. "It's no secret that Scott Brown and I got divorced more than five years ago. We each went our separate ways. I'd like to state here and now that there's nothing romantic going on between me and Scott."Contrary to the rumors and the insinuation Cora recently made, I didn't drive a wedge between them nor did I take Scott away from their son. I have moved on with my life. The only reason why Scott and I sometimes meet is that we are both business people. It's inevitable that we bump into each other. Also, I'm a major shareholder at Brown and Co."With a shake of the head, Zara laughed and continued, "I think it's funny that somehow I'm to blame for the whole thing when Scott was the one who professed his love to me in public. I didn't force him to do that, whether by words or actions as many of you have insinuated. I do not want him. Recently, I discovered the sweetest gentleman I have ever met. Why would I overlook him for someone who treate

Hundreds of comments flooded the comment section even before Cora saved and ended the live. Each one was of people expressing shock by her appearance.Everyone who knew Cora knew her as a very beautiful young woman. Although she never had a stable career, she was known as one of the hottest women in Beecroft, and Norkview as a whole. Many women camped on her social media pages, waiting for her to drop the latest skincare and fashion inspiration.Her face also graced many fashion magazines in the past. In summary, Cora was the shit in Norkview's fashion industry. The comments after she went offline were all sympathetic and full of guesses."Oh, my goodness. Someone tell me that I'm on the wrong page or someone is just trying to impersonate Cora. This can't be her!""It's really her! She said she was attacked. She looks nothing like the Cora we know. Who could have done such a thing to her?""Wait a damn minute! Could it be who I am thinking? Cora said we know who it is. She has only h

"What? Is this a prank? You are recording this, aren't you? Please, I don't have time for this. I'd also appreciate it if you don't include this recording in your skit," Zara uttered, looking around.It was common for content creators to prank people nowadays. She had seen some videos like this, so she thought this must be it. If only she knew this was no skit...The second man moved forward with a frown on his face. "Ma'am, we are not here to play. You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Cora Anderson. You're a prime suspect."Zara couldn't believe her ears. The takeout bag in her hand fell to the ground. "What? I have no hand in what happened!""Tell that to us at the station!" the ginger cop, Detective Stine, said as he took Jayden from her. The little boy instantly burst into tears as he kicked. "Mommy! Mommy!"In a trice, Zara flew into mother-hen mode. She charged at the cop and yelled, "Give me back my child! What are you doing?"The other cop whipped out handcuffs an

Suspicion threaded Scott's mind as he stared at the handcuffed man. Only when Jayden bumped into his leg and held on to him did he come back to his senses. He looked down to see the little boy staring up at him with teary eyes.Without hesitation, Scott picked Jayden up and rubbed his back. The toddler immediately reported, "Please help my mommy. That bad guy is saying nonsense. Tell them to remove that big buckle from my mommy's hands."Following Jayden's pointed finger, Scott's eyes fell on the handcuff around Zara's wrists. He strode over to the closest policeman. "Why the hell is she in handcuffs?""Who are you?" The cop eyed Scott from head to toe and then put one hand on his hip. "Anyway, that doesn't matter. She's a suspect in the attempt on Cora Anderson's life, so she has to be in handcuffs!"Scott tut-tutted, "Keyword 'suspect'. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? She wasn't caught red-handed, neither has she been convicted. She shouldn't be in handcuffs!"T

The silence that followed after that question was as thick as the darkness upon them. Jayden didn't say anything, neither did Tommy who was already drifting to sleep.After a while, Jayden finally sighed. "I don't know my father. I have never met him. Let's just go to sleep now."A snore came from the side as soon as he said that. Jayden rolled to the other side and soon fell asleep. The following morning, Scott specially made breakfast. He canceled all his work engagements for the day just so he could be with the kids and also go see Zara. As Scott was clearing the table after they were done having breakfast, he heard a bang on the door.He frowned immediately. Looking at the monitor, he saw who it was. He braced himself up for the storm that was sure to come as soon as he opened that door.Sure enough, Mia stormed into the house and almost brought the room down when she saw Jayden. "What were you thinking, Scott? Why did you keep Jayden here?"She picked Jayden up and faced Scott s

It had been one hell of a week for Zara. Between her frequent visits to the police stations, meetings with Damien, and tending to her son, she was already so exhausted. The whole thing still seemed like a dream to her. It wasn't until she got the notice for the court hearing that she realized Cora was really out for her head.Zara tried to reach out to Cora a couple of times, but the latter only responded by filing a restraining order against her. Within a week, Cora had granted a dozen interviews. And in each one, she bawled her eyes out and acted like she was in severe pain.It was so annoying that Zara couldn't wait for the day of the court hearing. Damien had been of great help to her. Despite the fire she was under online, she was grateful that she had a few people in her corner. Jordan called to check on her every day while Mia even moved in temporarily.Zara pulled Jayden out of school and also resorted to working from home for the time being. On the D-Day, Zara was awoken by
