' You were lucky to have survived the first time, but you might not be so lucky this time!' Kendrick read the note posted on the gates to their house again.'How long had Brie been receiving these notes, and why was she concealing them from him?' he asked taking the note and driving in. He got out of his car and headed into his house. As he walked in, he could hear people arguing inside"That belongs to me! It was left for me by my mother! Since you married that vile woman, you've never liked me. We were fine until you married the scumbag!" she yelled as a slap resounded across the room. Brie was taken aback. "That is it! You've overstayed your welcome, Sir, and it's time for you to leave "Kendrick intervened after observing them argue for some time. "With pleasure," her father spat as he walked out the door. Kendrick walked up the stairs to where his wife was standing and hugged her without saying anything. He was aware that she required it. "It'll be fine," he stroked her hair.
' What is going on between Cerys and Anika? I thought she hated that woman's guts.' Brie asked herself seated in her car farther away from the restaurant where Cerys sat across Anika deeply engrossed in a conversation.' Could it be...' she didn't want to believe the thoughts that were coming up in her mind. Her phone broke her from her thoughts. She needed to be at work for the meeting, that's why Padma was calling. She was going to get to the root of Anika and Cerys's relationship. She had begun to remember bits and pieces of her lost memories but hadn't told her husband yet. She remembered the fights they had because he was having an affair with her step-sister. She didn't want to let him know because he trying his best to start all over on a clean slate." Hey boo, I'd be there in a few minutes," she said as she answered her friend's call." Okay, but please be fast, we need to go over the documents before the meeting," Padma added." Sure, I am almost there, see you soon! Bye,"
Aryan had secretly been having an affair with Sage, since the last time they met and she was loving it. Unknown to her, he was sleeping with her mother and Cerys.Millie and Aaron had something of their own going on. She didn't bother about her husband anymore, since it was clear he was having fun sleeping around. Aaron on the other hand, was falling deeply in love with Millie but didn't want to let her know. She was a married woman and what if what they had going on was just a fling?" There is absolutely nothing to talk about concerning Malayah, Anika. I was willing to tell you about her before, until you became this money hungry! I owe you no explanation. This is my house, and she is my daughter." Scott said drinking his whisky." What happened to the 'no secrets' code? "she played victim." Same way you forgot about the 'no cheating' code, " he spat. Anika was taken aback by his sudden outburst. What was he talking about?" Excuse me? "" You think I am foolish Anika, I know you a
" Malayah?" Brie recognized her step sister the moment she walked into her office. She was surprised to see her after all these years.She was still surprised at how she found her." You look so pale, darling. "I heard what happened, and I'm so sorry," she hugged her."That's fine, have a seat," she said as Malayah's gaze fell on a piece of paper with a threat written on it." What is this?" she gestured to the paper on the table." I've been receiving these threats from I don't know whom asking me to shut down my company or suffer the dire consequences, yada yada," she said unperturbed." And the Police?"" Useless..."" Brie----" Malayah, let's talk about something else. Everyone seems to be bothered about the the fucking threats. Honestly, I am tired of being pitied..." she sighed." Brielle, you can't let them win. You have friends and family who love you and aren't going to back down till they get to the bottom of this, " she replied." My husband and friends see me as a charity
" What? Why?!" Kendrick exclaimed and immediately sat down on the nearest chair. He was currently in Las Vegas with Alex, Padma, and Syd. They had information from their detective directing them to the hospital Brie was admitted to when she got attacked. They had just found out that Cerys and Anika paid the doctor to give Brie her painkillers that caused memory loss. So instead of her gaining her memories months after her surgery, she still wasn't remembering anything at all. " Why they did that Mr. Adams, I cannot tell. I am so sorry that I had a hand in this but I was forced to do so. My family was being threatened at gunpoint," he begged. Syd and Padma were shocked at the news. Why the hell would Cerys team up with the devil herself after pretending to despise her? " Brie once mentioned to us that she saw Cerys and Anika at a coffee shop, sipping coffee and chatting like long-lost friends," Padma spoke up. Kendrick remembered an incident where Brie left home and spent time with h
" Hey, um call me back when you get this voice message," Anika said after her call went through to voice mail. She had been trying to reach Aryan for the past two weeks, yet he was unreachable which made her worried.Had he gone back home with his wife? He would have said something before he left. Where could he be? she asked herself pacing up and down the living room." Your boy toy suddenly grew the balls to leave your sorry ass, didn't he?" Malayah asked from the top of the stairs smoking a cigar." Excuse me?"" Don't play dumb Anika, we all know you are cheating on daddy dearest," she tsked walking towards her room without waiting for a response from Anika. Malayah was starting to be a thorn in Anika's flesh and she was beginning to hate it. At the moment, she was worried about Aryan and not Malayah's nonsense. ~~ " Kendrick doesn't want to see you, get out," Syd said as soon as Sage entered the office. " Hi or hello will do Syd," she replied with sass walking toward the table.
" Syd!" Running up to her at the tracks, Nicholai called out. Alex was about to approach her but turned around to go back to his car when Enzo called her. "Hello," she said, inhaling his cologne. He smelled like citrus, lavender, and wood. The combination of his cologne was divine. "Good race," he said with a smile. "Thank you, but not as good as yours," "You race exceptionally well for a woman, even better than some men. You will improve over time "He went on to say. "Thank you, I'd love to stay and talk but a friend is waiting for me," she turned to face Alex, who was nervously tapping his foot on the ground while typing on his phone. "I'll call you when I get home," he promised as she approached Alex." Is everything alright?" she asked him." Yes, "~ " Kena, you should have seen how he behaved towards me. It was as if he hated me with passion," she told her friend over the phone. Makena was fed up with Sage and her problems already. It was always one problem after the other,
"Can I have more time to think about this?" Aryan asked as Sage briefed him about her father's terms and conditions for his inheritance. "Okay, but don't take too long. Time's ticking," she said as they walked into the bar. 'It is a great deal but how will Anika take this news?' Aryan thought to himself as they sat at an empty table. ~~ " Am I dreaming?" Brie asked herself as she stared at her phone. Her inheritance which she had been fighting tooth and nail for had finally been transferred into her account. ' What changed the mind of her father to send what rightfully belonged to her?' she thought to herself as her phone rang. It was an unknown number and she was hesitant to answer it but finally did after a few seconds of mastering the courage to do so. " Brielle," her father said through the phone after seconds of a breathing competition between both parties. " Dad?" " Have you seen the alert yet?" he asked panting. " Yes, but where are you? And what is happening?" she aske
