“This is my daughter, Khloé" Lydia replied as she asked Khloé to come sit next to her, but Khloé kept staring at Gary. She pointed to Gary who kept hugging Lydia like Lydia belonged to him and asked, “Who is he?” “He is Gary” Lydia replied“Gary” Khloé tested his name in her mouth before a wide smile spread on her lips,“He is very handsome, is he my brother?” The living room turned quiet, “Yes,” Anny immediately replied before Marian could. She could see that Marian was about to say something stupid and Lydia was left tongue-tied, so she spoke up herself.“Yes, isn't he the most beautiful boy ever? Just like you, my child, you are so beautiful,” Anny smiled and Khloé nodded,“Thank you” She didn't go to sit, instead she walked over to stand in front of Gary before stroking his hair“Hi Gary, I'm your big sister. My name is Khloé" Gary's eyes twinkled, and he immediately let go of Lydia to stare at Khloé. He loved the touch Khloé was giving. He has been feeling the same touch for

It's been half an hour and Anny wasn't done with Carson, so Lydia decided to dish the food by herself. Taking the food to the table, she met Marian with her phone already sitting in the dining. She placed the tray of food on the table before leaving to get Gary and Khloe, then Anny and Carson. When she got to the room where Khloé and Gary were, she saw them watching a cartoon. Gary was sitting in front of Khloé on the bed., Khloé with her legs spread apart, allowed Gary to rest his head on her chest while she rested her back against the bed rest.Lydia smiled at the sight. She had always known that Khloé liked kids. There was a time she was pregnant and she informed Khloé about it. The girl was so happy, she was already preparing gifts for her younger sibling, only for her to lose the baby due to George's rough beating. She had almost lost her life back then, thanks to the maids around who had helped her to the hospital just in time and also to Doctor Nick, who happened to be on se

“Where is Gary?!?” Marian screamed so loudly that Lydia rushed out of the kitchen. Anny wasn't here yet, must still be sleeping, so Lydia decided to prepare breakfast. “Gary is in my room. Khloé wanted to sleep next to me in the middle of the night, so Gary followed” Lydia explained “What the hell! “What's going on here?” Carson asked as he walked out of his room. He was dressed already, but his tie was undone along with the two buttons, causing his chest to be left exposed “I went to Gary's room this morning only to find it empty. This girl,” pointing at Lydia, “is saying that Gary slept in her room, her bed with her daughter! Marian reported angrily. She was breathing heavily, causing Lydia to wonder what she had done wrong. She couldn't understand why she was so angry “I'm sorry, Mr. Carson, but I didn't know it was wrong. I only went to check up on the kids when I saw my daughter crying. She must have thought she was still back home with Alma, so I tried to caress her back to

Lydia kept pacing front and back in the living room waiting for Carson, who had insisted on speaking to Khloé alone all of a sudden.She didn't know what the man wanted to discuss with her. He had taken her to his study, meaning it was important and serious. She cannot stop pacing around nervously. Confusion was written all over her face. She didn't even understand why Carson had said he was making plans to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary. When did she tell Carson that?Aside from the fact that she doesn't have a job to raise money right now, Gary's school would be very expensive and she was sure of it. “Lydia, calm down. Carson is only speaking with her” Anny said from behind and Lydia turned to her.“Why are they taking so long? Do you know what they might be talking about?” She asked Anny who was tired of calming the woman. “You know what? Why don't you go in there yourself and tell him you are really worried about him talking to your daughter?” “No, no, I can't do that

After the house chores, Lydia informed Anny that she'll be going on a job hunt now. She felt pressured, especially after what Carson had done earlier on.Putting Khloé in school means she doesn't even have a choice on whether to work now or not, she has to search for something to do, and she has to do it now. Anny promised to take care of Khloé in her absence. Soon, she was out of the house, ready to face the world. With her CV in her hand, Lydia went from company to company. She wasn't just accepted, so she went to the company she used to work with. She was one of their best staff, so she presumes they'll accept her again.“Sorry Mrs. Lydia but there's no vacancy,” the secretary told Lydia, who bit her lip“Can I at least speak to Mr. Tony?” She asked, but the secretary shook her head. “Listen, I know him. I used to work here years back. I know if he sees me, he'll want to create a space for me. Can you please tell him that Lydia is here?” “I have to be disturbed, can you leave?”

It was a cool, autumn evening, Carson and Nick were sitting at the bar, nursing their drinks and chatting. The bar was dimly lit, with a cozy atmosphere. The bartender was mixing drinks behind the bar, and the low murmur of conversation filled the air. Carson and Nick had been friends for years, and they often met at the bar to talk about their days and unwind. They both needed the break after their long, stressful days.Nick took a sip of his drink and looked at Carson. “How’s work?” He asked.“You want to hear about my day?” Carson said, a slight smile on his face. Nick nodded, intrigued to hear what Carson had to say. “Well, it started out like any other day,” Carson began, "But then this client called me. The client was a man who had been accused of fraud, and he was proving to be quite a handful. I have been working tirelessly to defend him, but the client was making it difficult with his volatile and demanding behavior,” He paused and Nick laughed. Carson gave him a light pu

In Lydia’s room, Carson, Lydia, and Anny stood beside Khloe as she was being treated by Nick. The little girl has slept off. As Lydia watched Khloé, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her. She had left her daughter, trusting that she would be taken care of while she went out to look for a job. But she had been so focused on finding a job that she hadn't realized that something was wrong with Khloé. Now, she felt like the worst mother in the world. She could only hope that Khloé would be okay.“She'll be okay,” Anny said, sensing Lydia's distress.Lydia was restless, her sobs wracking her body. She kept self-blaming herself. If only she listened to Ma'am Anny and go on the job hunt next week, but no, she wanted to go for it immediately. And guess what? It was useless. Anny placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some comfort, “You have to calm down,” she said, her voice soft,“I know you're scared, but you have to stay strong for Khloé. She needs you to be strong.” Lydia t

Carson rushed to Gary's side, his eyes wide with worry. “What happened?” He asked, his voice full of concern. Gary hiccuped, trying to catch his breath. "What’s wrong?” Lydia couldn’t help but ask also.“Well, I overheard Marian yelling at Gary that he should avoid Khloé since she’s sick, so he wouldn’t be infected. I think that’s the reason he’s crying,” Anny said.“Oh no,” Lydia said, her heart sinking, “Marian yelled at Gary? That's horrible! Why would she even do that?” “I know,” Carson said, his expression grim. “But we need to keep in mind that Marian is just trying to do what she thinks is best. She's probably just worried about Khloé’s health, and she doesn't want anyone else to get sick.” Carson said. “I know, but still," Lydia said, her brow furrowed. “She shouldn't have yelled at Gary like that. He's just a kid.” She turned to Gary as she stroke his hair,“And why would Marian say that?” Lydia asked, her voice firm. “You can't catch Khloé’s illness. It's not contagi

The next morning, Lydia woke up by Carson's side. She had a beautiful and joyful smile on her lips. Waking up by his side was the most amazing thing ever, and the scent of cologne was still on him. She brought her nose close to his chest and nuzzled him. Lydia grinned and raised her hand, she stared at the beautiful ring. “My name is Mrs. Lydia Walters' Lydia chuckled and kissed her ring. “It's so beautiful.” She was still staring at her ring when she suddenly had the urge to vomit, she touched her stomach as it churned. “Did I eat something wrong yesterday? Lydia pouted her lips. The nauseating feeling stopped for a while, but then the bile rushed up her throat and she couldn't keep it in. She rushed out of the bed and threw up into the sink. The sounds of vomiting woke Carson up. He wanted to sleep back but realized something was wrong with his wife. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He asked her, worriedly. “Love, are you alright?” He still heard her throwing up and had to

Carson turned back with a little smile on his lips, his threats had worked. He wasn't planning on doing any of those things he said, but he decided to act as one of the bad guys. One can't stick to a technique and tactic all the time. Carson returned to his seat and called a prison warder inside to listen to what he had said. Carson also brought out his phone and decided to make a recording. “Can you repeat what you had said?” Carson requested. The man sighed and said everything that had transpired between him and Alma. Carson was delighted and left from there as the warder was taken away. He was going to face his penalty. Carson contacted the police to visit George's house where Alma stayed and also to arrest Felix in his house. Carson planned on also releasing the recording through his Father's connections. It would be anonymous and would ruin Felix's chances of becoming the governor. Carson was excited about his plans but would execute them after they were both arrested fo

George had killed a man, strangled him during the traffic, and taken his cab as a means of transportation. Presently, he walked to Mrs. Isobel's limp body and carried her into the back seat of the cab. He closed the door and entered the front seat. He wasn't ready to drive her anywhere in particular, he would make sure that he was far from a place where the cops could find him. He would question her in the car, but he had to wait till she awakened. He had planned to lie to Alma that he couldn't stand the boredom and had to leave the cabin. Anyway, she believed every lie he spoke.George drove for a long while before parking near a certain roadside, he waited till she awakened, which happened a few minutes after the drive. “Hm,” Mrs. Isobel moaned in pain. She felt a pounding pain in the back of her head, her hand reached for it and there was a little bloodstain. “Oh my God” She cried and slowly sat up, her blurry eyes cleared little by little. “Who are you?” Mrs. Isobel asked i

“Why are you smirking? Do you find the situation amusing or what?” Alma frowned at him. “I'm sorry, but I've thought about my decision, and I'm ready to accept your suggestion for plastic surgery,” George stuttered.Alma screamed excitedly and hugged him tightly.“That's the spirit, I'm so glad that you have thought more carefully about my proposal. I promise you that once you do this surgery and probably practice how to change other things about yourself. Everything would be great” Alma giggled. “The cops would be off your back and the both of us can travel the world after our wedding.” George rolled his eyes but faked a laugh. “I won't do the surgery now, give me some time to have my face then after a few days from now, I can do the surgery” George smiled and pushed her away from him. “I'm so happy” Alma clapped excitedly and tilted her head from side to side like a child. “I'm not too happy about losing my handsome face, but it's worth the change,” George said and acted like

“No, I'm not interested in altering my appearance” George disagreed firmly. “Why? It's a suitable option for you never to be found, why would you lose such a chance, just to stay locked up in this wretched cabin” Alma argued with him. “I'm not interested in continuing the conversation, I won't change my appearance to fort anything in this world. The best thing I love seeing when I look at my reflection in the mirror is my face and nothing more” George said and turned his face away from her. Alma gasped and was offended by his selfishness. “I want you to have a free life, we can fake your death that you were found and killed. It would make a lot of sense when I start dating the new you. Why are you acting so selfishly towards me?” Alma said, her voice cracking at the end of her statement. “I'm not being selfish but standing by my own rules. I get that you went the extra mile to bring me out of jail, but that doesn't give you the right to order me around” George frowned. Alma gasp

“What did you just say?” Lydia panicked and sprang up. That news was so unexpected and shocking, she never expected to hear that the man who had ruined her life was out of prison, free to do the unimaginable. “How did he come out of prison? What exactly happened?” Evelyn asked, worried over the safety of Lydia. Carson shook his head. “I still don't know, but I'm going to that fucking prison to find out.” “How can he escape in just a week of being there? Many people have spent a decade trying to escape prison but haven't been able to, how can he make it seem so easy?” Evelyn asked questions that couldn't be answered by any of them. “The kids, we left the kids alone,” Lydia said agitated, and tried running out of the church. Carson held her back and pulled her into a hug. She was anxious, and her breathing had fastened like she was on the verge of having a panic attack. “There's nothing to be scared about, the children are secured, but George can be capricious. I'll make sure th

The kids were done with their exams, and they were at home. It was the weekend, Saturday specifically, and Lydia stayed at home. The kids weren't easy to control at all, Lydia realized how much they refused to listen to her. They listened more to Mrs. Isobel. This made Lydia a bit jealous and angry. She had to give Mrs. Isobel some hours off so that she could take care of the kids herself. “Both of you, sit down!” Lydia instructed and pointed at the couch. Gary and Khloé went to have a sit, seeing that their mother was more serious than ever. “It's not good to prove stubborn towards your parents, it causes sadness. Do you want Mommy to be sad?” Lydia pouted at her lips after speaking. They both shook their heads. “Alright, since you don't want me to be sad, then listen,” Lydia said. “It's truly depressing when I keep talking and you both keep disrespecting me by not listening!” “What are you supposed to do?” Lydia asked, looking angry, though she wasn't so angry. She simply w

The man walked to the witness box, he was accompanied by the cops. Carson never stopped investigating the people who had kidnapped Lydia. He was doing it in secret and working with the cops, the camera on the street was able to capture the plate number of the car. Though the car was dumped, they were able to trace the source and one of the kidnappers was caught, the only problem was his refusal to tell the truth. After the torture and promising his family protection from any harm, he confessed to the person who hired him but failed to mention George's name. Carson was displeased by the outcome of the investigation because he was sure that George had kidnapped Lydia. The kidnapper had only led them to another one in his team, that one was an easy nut to crack. He confessed, and his boss was arrested. He thought it would be easy to come out, but Carson proved him wrong, he thwarted any hope he had to escape prison. He finally agreed to a shorter sentence and in exchange, he would
