' 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

" That bitch!" Padma exclaimed as Kendrick broke the news to her and Syd. " I am still confused. She got married and had kids, so why obsess after a man who doesn't know of your existence?" Syd asked. " I don't know baby girl, but what I know is that none of them is getting close to my wife and my family. I've swore to protect her and my child no matter what it takes. I lost her once.... and I am not going to loose her again." he said to her. Syd was happy at how her brother had become more matured and she was proud of that. " Exactly, but remember what Malayah said earlier, as we are all protecting her we shouldn't let her feel lonely, don't make her fee that gap. So as much as we are watching out for her, we should be there for her every step of the way," Syd added with Padma nodding in agreement to what her friend was saying. " Speaking of which, I gotta go." Padma spoke up. She had not seen Finn in a while and he just texted he was coming over to her end. " That's fine Padma,

EPILOGUE" Hey-um , my son is three months old and guess who he looks like? You guessed right...me" he said holding her hand and speaking to her. Malayah had gained conciousness and was discharged two weeks after Brielle and her son were discharged. However, due to the impact Syd had gone into a coma. Everyone was devasted by the news but the one who was affected most was Kendrick. He and his sister's relationship had started growing into a beautiful one after the rough patch they went through when he had issues with Brielle.Brielle. He had caught her a couple of times silently crying. She had missed one of her bestfriends but that was not good for her considering the fact that she just gave birth and post-partum depression was knocking at her door. Padma was with Brielle most of the time , that was when she wasn't visiting her friend, Syd.Alex... he was numb and had become a shadow of himself. He barely ate or drank anything." She'll be a great aunt to him you know," Alex said ta

"... and to my dearest wife I----" Wow, you thought you could read the will without the lawyer and the rest of the family?" Malayah asked as she walked in with the lawyer, Brielle and her husband." Anika stood opening and closing her mouth like a fish under water." I-um-er..." she stuttered." You thought I was dead?" the lawyer chuckled taking his seat as Cerys glared at her aunt." And I thought this was family only? What's Cerys doing here?! She wasn't related to my dad in any way." Brielle added siting down with the help of Kendrick. They had security men in vantage points in case something went wrong." She's my family," Anika added." Oh...wow! Bravo. It all makes sense how you both suddenly became close and how my dearest cousin wanted to kill me." she added to the shock of everyone." Yes Cerys, you pretended to be a good cousin to me to gain my trust. As soon as I saw you and this witch together on different occasions I knew I had to do my own investigation. I found out how

"... and he was my dad as well," Malayah said entering the lawyers office with her guard at the door. She had a tip that Anika had gone to see the lawyer and she knew pretty well what that woman can do. There was no way she was loosing to her. " Ah Malayah, fancy seeing you here," she said through grit teeth. " I wish I could say same. I didn't know we had a meeting today...good day Mr Jones," she said taking a seat beside Anika. " There isn't , Mrs Scott-Roberts came in a few minutes just before you did. I didn't call her," the man added. Malayah could see Anika's face twitch in anger, but she didn't give a rats ass about how she felt. " Thanks for having me Mr. Jones, and don't forget what we talked about before we were interrupted," she said walking out of the door. 'How the hell did that bitch know where she was? Did she follow her or have someone follow her?' She asked her self getting into her car before letting out an angry scream. " I don't think she was, she wasn't hom

" You what?! It was a simple task! How could you miss him?" Anika yelled in her room frustrated. She needed to get her hands on her husband's will to make changes and in order to do that the lawyer had to go. Now, here lies the case where her men missed the target. " He was too fast and he was in the midst of a pool of people, it has hard to target him," the man added. " That's no excuse, you could have chased him down or something," she added on frustrated. " The police were on patrol Anika, we couldn't risk our cover being blown." " Fix it!" she yelled ending the call. She needed to lay hands on that will no matter what it took. She had come a long way to loose out on Scott's property. She was his legal wife , thus she and her child deserved the lion share despite what the will said. She needed to alterate it to her advantage. " Is he safe?" Malayah asked her men. " Yes, for now he is. Though she's plotting other ways on how to eliminate him," he answered. " Keep an eye on

"I just received a message from the lawyer, saying that the reading date of your father's will has been postponed." Anika said angrily on the phone. Immediately after receiving the email, she set up a conference call with Cerys and Sage. "No explanation why it was cancelled?" Cerys asked, lying on Aryan's chest. "Nope," "Relax mom, I think he's busy with something else. He'll be in touch with us," Sage added casually, rubbing her stomach. She replied with this, although she wasn't content with the others' suggestions. They had come too far to loose out. Too far! “Okay, I will call you when we know about the next steps. Until then, adios!" she added, ending the conversation. Finally, Aryan was able to breathe. He couldn't risk being caught by Anika and Sage if he spoke. His cover has not yet been blown. It was waaaaay to early. " I think someone has a hand in this. Whoever the person is, I'll find out eventually," she said to no one in particular. " I think your friend maybe rig

" But--- " Babe please?" Kendrick begged kissing her hand. She was seven months gone in her pregnancy journey and Kendrick wanted her to take a break from work. Padma and the rest of her staff could handle business without her. She could also handle work from home in his home office or she could have him set up a home office for her. " I'd be bored and feel lazy and--- He cut her off with a kiss making her blush. " Fine, fine I'll work from home, just cause you begged." she teased. " Thankfully , my plea was heard. Thank you," he said staring into her beautiful eyes. Some years ago, he wanted nothing to do with this wonderful soul. He was still hung up on his ex that anything she did or said did not matter to him. He hurt her so much but she stayed trying to make things work out. At first, he used to think she stayed because of the prize at the end...her inheritance. But he was wrong. She genuinely grew to love him along the years and he wasn't going to trade her for anyone else.

Brie stood beside her husband, and friends as she watched her father's coffin being lowered into the ground. Kendrick gently squeezed her shoulder for support. She had her fists balled as she saw Sage, Cerys and Anika shed crocodile tears. This is what they had wanted from the beginning and now they were pretending to love him? Seriously? " As much as I want to strangle them, they're his family too." Malayah said joining her step-sister. "A family that shouldn't have happened in the first place," she scoffed. " I hate them more than you do. But things will fall in place soon, sooner than you expect," she smiled at her. " Am I interupting something?" Anika asked as she approached them. " Were you trying to?" Brie raised her brow. " Hotheaded as usual. I thought marriage or perharps the accident would have changed you," she said making Kendrick visibly angry. " Too bad that didn't go as you planned," she slightly tilted her head smiling deviously at her step-mother. " I shouldn'

Valerie stood infront of her mirror holding the pregnancy test that showed positive. Yes, her father was dead but he had already stated in his will that she needed to get married and bare him a child before she could acess her share of his inheritance. " Step One complete. Step two underway," she said to no one in particular. Her father's death came as an added advantage to her. " Think of the devil, and he shall call." Valerie said as she picked up her phone to answer the call from her baby daddy. ~ Padma paced back and forth in her hall. It had been weeks since she last spoke to and saw Finn, and she decided it was time to bury the hatchet. It was time they called a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Brie was right. She really didn't have time for the relationship she had with Finn and that wasn't fair on his part. Her anxiety peaked as soon as she heard the doorbell ring. It rang once, twice, and on the third ring her househelp rushed to get the door. "Hi, is she in there?" Fin

" He actually signed them?" she whispered as she held her divorce papers in her hands. She wanted Aryan to come to her and explain what was going on but he chose to take the easy way out like the coward he always has been. " Coward!" she screamed as she slid down the wall crying. Their wedding day replayed through her mind as if she was watching a movie. How could he throw away something so beautiful as their love? Unless he had been faking everything from the onset. " Millie?" Aaron called her name whiles knocking on the door. He turned the doorknob and realised the door wasn't locked in the first place. He let hmself into the house as he looked around to see if he could find her. He heard gentle sniffs and sobs from the kitchen and hurriedly headed there. She was seated on the floor with her back leaned on the wall as she let out sobs. " Hey...are you okay?" He asked as he squatted beside her. She wasn't able to utter a word and handed him the papers Aryan had signed while he carr
