“Sir!” Lydia quickly straightened herself as she watched her new CEO stepped into the office. “Lydia” Mr. Ray called as he walked over to her table. He sat down before gesturing for her to sit down as well. Lydia walked over to her chair and sat there, She kept staring at the man to detect if he overheard her conversation. She couldn't help but blame George for calling her at the wrong time.“Mr Ray, I'm so sorry, I'm almost done with the project. I just need to add a few more things. I'll send it to your office immediately I am through with it” Ray only nodded as he continued to watch her, wondering who it was she was discussing with. He had come to see Lydia to be a very calm and accommodating lady, so he wondered why and who she was telling to go to hell.As much as he didn't want to pry, he couldn't help but ask,“Are you having an argument with someone, Lydia?” Lydia froze in her seat, he heard her. She swallowed and, slowly, a smile broke out on her face, “Sir, that… that w

Carson paused when he saw the two crying in each other's arms, with Ma'am Anny standing not too far from them. He wanted to ask what was going on, but instead, Ma'am Anny signaled him to keep calm.He walked over to where she stood and asked in a whisper, “What's going on?”“The mother and daughter are having their moment. It's nothing to worry about, Ma'am, Anny replied with a smile. She was glad that Khloé choose them over her father. She may not have met George, but the news she heard about the man didn't sit well with her. She is more than happy that Lydia is standing up for herself.Carson stood there watching them until Lydia finally pulled away from her daughter's embrace.

“Thank you for today. I'll call you when I have an information for you” Marian said to Amelia who was sitting in the driver's seat. They had both gone out together for some fun time, forgetting the time. “Don't let Carson know that we both know each other. I have my plans, but I'll still need your eyes and ears in that house, especially when that bitch is there”“Yes, I know what to do” Marian replied, a smile spread on her lips. Amelia moved closer to give her a hug before she came down from the car. Marian waited for Amelia to drive off before she turned to the gate, the smile on her face immediately dropped. She hates Amelia so much, but just has to endure, so Amelia can help her erase Lydia from the equation. Amelia kept spending on her and taking her places she had never been before. Today, she had followed her to shoot a movie. She was so happy that she didn't even take note of the time or remember anything else. Amelia introduced her to so many actors and actresses that she

Carson walked out of his study in the middle of the night, as he was busy with work and didn't know the time had gone. When he got to the living room, he noticed Lydia was sleeping on one of the couches, he paused to stare at her features even in the dim light. He wondered why she hadn't gone to her room and was lying there in the living room. As he watched her, he wondered if he should wake her up or carry her instead to her room. After a while, he decided to carry her as the gentleman that he was. When he picked her up, Lydia snapped her eyes open to see Carson carrying her. She quickly made a move to come down from his arms, “Mr Carson”“Why are you sleeping here?” He asked her, only for Lydia to look at her surrounding to see that she was indeed not in her room. “I was waiting for you” she replied calmly after a while, causing Carson's heart to warm hearing her say that.

With the way, the conversation was heading, she could tell that indeed, it was Lydia's husband who had called“Carson?” She called when the man finally ended the call“Ma'am Anny, that was Lydia's so-called husband” Ma'am Anny raised her brow as she wondered why George would call Carson. The hearing has not started? She asked,“And what did he say he wanted?” “He wants me to drop the case and maybe join him, '' Carson chuckled a little.“What! That man is really so desperate" Carson laughed, “he even offered to pay me twice of what Lydia paid me”.With a smile, Ma'am Anny asked, “So he feels Lydia paid you?”“You will not believe he is even accusing me of having an affair with Lydia”“I can see that man is really sick, he doesn't have any shame,” Ma'am Anny saidCarson wondered if he should tell Ma'am Anny about what was troubling him.

“He will certainly be disappointed, but who would tell him? I would do everything to make sure he doesn't discover it” Carson said with this certainty in his tone. Ma'am Anny sighed, she knew his Grandpa could investigate and find out nothing was between them, but she couldn't convince him if he had made up his mind. “I'm not certain about your decision and I doubt if Lydia would agree, but how would you know if you don't give it a try” Ma'am, Anny said wisely and smiled at him. Carson found her words encouraging, but there was a part of him that knew he would be rejected by Lydia. “Don't take her rejection to heart, she has been through a lot” Ma'am Anny said with a small smile on her face. Carson nodded, he would never hold anything against Lydia. Carson chuckled a bit to reduce the tension he was feeling.

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.

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
