009 JOANA'S POV I ran to my kids, they fell into my arms. I held them so close to me that I was never going to let them go or let anyone hurt them. " What happened to you, mum?" Mirabel asked me. I held her close to me; I was not going to let her in what had happened to me; it was not for her to find out about it. " I am fine. I was not able to come home yesterday, but I am here now," I said. The boys were in my arms as well. I held them like someone was trying to take them from me. " Mum," I heard one of my sons say. He was trying to breathe. The way I had held him was hard for him to be free. I released them. I should leave them and let them be free now that they are in the estate. My brothers were at home. " Thank you for looking after them," I said. " You know you can always count on us, right?" " I know, thank you," I said. I walked into the rooms, it has been a while in here. I have avoided coming here because it holds lots of memories for me. This w

010 CLINTON'S POV After she would not give me an answer, I grew concerned for her. Maybe she was still interested in me, or she never wanted to see me. It left me confused. There was no way I would go back there and ask her for the second time; I knew she would not want to see me there, so I did not go back there. After I got back to the hospital, I was told she had gone, and I was happy that she was fine. The accident had happened on the day I was stalking her. I had followed her everywhere on that day, and before the accident happened, I suspected a car following her, two cars, actually. It happened right before my eyes, and I could not leave her there. I knew she was going to be mad at me, but it was going to be for a while. I was fast to get into the car, take her from there, and drive her to the hospital. I knew that the accident was planned. I got dressed and was about to leave the house when I saw Louisa at the door. I gasped. What the hell was she doing there?

011 JOANA'S POV The brakes of my car were not good. I wondered how he knew about that. My head hurts from thinking about how he got to know what was in my car. I called Caleb and told him about it. He said he was coming with someone who would fix the car. The smell from my house the other day was what made me not bring the kids home; I had to leave them at the estate because I felt it was safe there. The chemicals that they had used were choking. I had to call my brothers and tell them about it; they suggested I leave the house, but I was not buying that idea; I called Caleb, and he brought people to the house who helped me clear the place up. I decided to stay there alone and not bring the kids there. Someone was trying so hard to get to me, and it was beginning to scare me. I got into the house after the brakes were fixed. I checked all around the place and then asked the security to be vigilant as well. " If you see anything around my house, let me know; call me imm

012 JOANA POV I thought I was going to rest my head and relax, but I got none of that. My brothers were asking me a lot of questions, and I was answering all of them. Some of the questions that I was being asked had no answers to them, and that was because I did not know how to answer them. They were determined to find those who did that to me. There was more anger than fear. I felt I was taken for granted, and I was tolerating too much. A lot was going on with me, and all I wanted to do was to get my life back and go back to the peaceful life I was used to before this. When I got back into the city, I knew there were a lot of people who did not like that I was back in the city, but there was nothing they could do about it. I guess they were the ones doing all of these things to me. " I told you not to go back to that house; good thing that you left the kids with us here, and being there is never a good thing," one of my brothers said. " It is a nice place; it h

013 JOANA'S POV I was rather quiet. The city had my news, but I chose to remain quiet and that was because I did not want to talk about it; I did not want to give any information to the public; whatever it was that was happening to me was going on because someone was somewhere trying to do worse things to me. " Ma'am, someone is here to see you," my secrets I said. " Let him in," I said. I sat upright, I was never going to act like anything was going wrong with me. I cleaned the tears that were on my face and then smiled. The person walked in, and I was so mad. "I can not believe she let you in." I stood up. I was going to meet with my secretary. He dragged me back " There will be no need for that, I came here so we can talk," he said. I looked at him. There seemed to be a lot going on with him because he was not looking like the Clinton I knew. " What do you want to talk about?" I asked him. I was rather calm this time around, even though I would not hesitate

014 JOANA'S POV I was back in the hospital that I never wanted to be. I looked around me and saw that I was not alone. " You are awake," Caleb said. " How did I get here?" I asked him. " I got to know that you were not in the car, you were not anywhere around the place, not even in the crowd, I knew that something was wrong, so I got back inside the place and asked that the securities search all over for you, that was how I got to find you," He said. I was happy that I was found. My fear was that no one was going to see me there or come after me. " Thank you for coming to my rescue," I said. I tried to breathe, but it was hard for me to do so at first. Then, with time, I was able to properly breathe well. The doctor came in and looked at me and did some examinations before he left the room. " I want to leave here," I whispered to him. " You can not be serious. You did this the last time you were here, and I did not find it funny," he said. " I kno

015 JOANA'S POV I was tired and scared as well. Maybe coming back to this city was never meant to happen, I do not know who was mad that I was back here. This was not good, and now I feared for my life because I did not know what would happen to me next. I looked at the window; it was small like they had built this house for something like this; it did not make any sense to me why that window was that way. I tried to stand up with my hands tied. It was hard at first, but I struggled and got up to my feet. I got near the window and tried to look through it, but there was nothing to see. I sighed, I had struggled for nothing at all. I was about to get seated when the door opened. The man looked at me " Who asked you to bring me here?" I asked him. " Is that question for me?" " Of course, who else? You are the only one here," I said. " I can not answer that," he said. He tried closing the door but I went to the door. " Wait, get me out of here, please; I have

016 JOANA'S POV He was about to leave when Caleb came in. " Is he disturbing you?" He asked. " He is, and I want him to leave me alone," " I do not think you should be coming here; she has asked that you stay away from her, and you should do so." he turned to Clinton and told him that. " I do not care what you plan to achieve by going after her; you are the one that should stay away from her," he said. I was getting tired of all the things he was saying, I did not want to hear any of them. I told him to leave because I was tired of him standing there. " Are you talking to me that way? You were the one who threw a divorce in her face, and now you shamelessly walk in here; you should be ashamed," Caleb said. Clinton turned to me. " I want you to trust me this time, I want to protect you from everyone that is hurting you. I want to guide you and ensure you are safe, " he said. " I do not want that from you; I have made it clear to you that I do not want that from yo

111JOANA'S POVThe soft ding of my phone got my attention. It was text.“Mission complete.”I stared blankly at the screen. Who was this person? My mind quickly went to Jason.“Jason…”Caleb and Clinton both turned to me, “What are you talking about?” Caleb finally spoke out.“The person behind the shadows was Jason,” I let out a small laugh.“How? He's in jail!” Caleb pointed out.I strode to sit on the couch, a victorious grin on my face, “Yeah, he is, but remember the secret agency he's in.”“The same agency that tried to kill him for exposing Anita…” he scoffed, “I highly doubt, maybe it's someone that also wants Anita gone.”I darted my gaze slowly to him, “apart from me, who else wants her gone? Trust me, my guts tell me that Jason did this.”The two men shook their heads and headed into their rooms.Playing with the tip of the pen, I pointed to the huge clock, “tick-tock Anita… this time, your time is up.”__The car ride was silent, a soothing silence enjoying the cool breeze

110JOANA'S POVThey had no shame.The confrontation had been explosive. Mr. Gates hadn’t denied it. He’d simply claimed that family should protect family—and Anita had sat smugly beside him, like a queen regaining her throne.She barely looked my way, but I felt her satisfaction and tasted it in the air like poison.Clinton finally turned from the desk. “You used your influence to override hard evidence. You know what she did. You saw the recordings. Heard the confession.”Mr. Gates didn’t flinch. “Evidence can be manipulated, Clinton. I don’t trust the words of men like Jason.”“You don’t trust facts,” Caleb spat. “You trust whatever keeps your family name clean. What kind of legacy are you trying to protect when it’s rotting from the inside?”Mr. Gates rose from his chair slowly, placing both hands on his cane. “You may not understand it now, Caleb. But one day, when you have your own family to lead, you’ll realize that loyalty matters more than any public trial.”I had enough. “Lo

109JOANA'S POVSunlight from the arched windows entered the mansion and formed wide bands across the marble floors. I took my place on the living room sofa with a straight posture and crossed legs while I touched my tablet in silence. Instead of reading the screen, my eyes focused on distant mental work. The house stood at peace before violence broke out.The front doors opened.Footsteps echoed.Clinton and Caleb walked in together, dressed in work suits, loosened ties around their necks, carrying the usual exhaustion of a day at the office. But the moment they saw me, they stopped.I didn’t rise to greet them. Didn’t even look up."Joana?" Clinton said, his voice tinged with caution.I slowly looked up. My eyes were expressionless. Not angry. Not hurt. Not welcoming. Just... still. Stone still.Caleb moved forward first. "Is everything okay? Where are the kids?""Asleep. Upstairs. Safe," I replied, my tone flat.Clinton moved towards me from the couch to reach my position, where he

108JOANA'S POVThe mansion stood as an unspoken silent question without any reaction. As soon as Jason parked the car, he sped the tyres toward the garage, and before the engine idled, I bolted from my side to rush through the mansion's main entrance.I directed the security staff posted at the gate to inspect the area thoroughly. “Check the east and west wings—every single room. I want the kids found. Now.”The main door flew open under my hand as I stormed inside. “Where are they? Where are my children?”The maids inside froze at the sound of my voice, but one of them stepped forward immediately, wide-eyed. “We—We don’t know, ma’am. We thought they were in the greenhouse—”“Check the gardens, the poolside, the library, everywhere!” I snapped. My voice was cracking under the weight of my panic. “Clinton? Caleb?”One of the male workers appeared at the top of the staircase. “Mr. Clinton left early this morning. He said he had to meet a supplier downtown. And Mr. Caleb hasn’t returned

107JOANA'S POVHer statement lingered like a bad taste in the air, “It's only a matter of time.”I didn’t flinch. I didn’t even blink. Instead, I smiled. The smile formed on my face, and it took its time as I quietly flashed my teeth. I moved toward her across the hard table and concentrated my stare in her direction just like a hunter studies its target.“If you think, my dear, that you would be able to come out from this one,” my voice was low and soft.“It's over…” I smacked my lips.Anita's expression shifted from a thoughtful stare to clear confusion. She spoke with pronounced speed instead of interest as she probed deeper into my words.I didn’t respond.Because I didn’t need to.The heavy door creaked open behind me.Her head jerked in the direction of the sound, and in that exact second, I saw it—pure, raw panic. A flicker. Fleeting, but real. Her composure slipped like silk through shaking hands.Jason stepped in first.Dressed in plain clothes, looking more like a man who’d

106JOANA’S POVThe morning air was heavy with silence.After breakfast, I did not talk, although Caleb offered to drive me, and Clinton asked about my plans. I left without saying anything. I made a choice to handle it on my own.The police station sat like a solemn block of stone, grey and indifferent to the lives unravelling inside it. The kind of place that didn’t care if you were a billionaire’s daughter or a nobody from the streets—it held secrets, guilt, and truth in equal measure.I signed in, gave my name, and was guided to the interrogation floor.“She’s been denying everything,” the officer escorting me said with a sigh. “Claims she’s being framed. Typical story.”I wasn’t surprised.Anita always played the victim when cornered. It was her survival tactic. But she’d run out of corners this time.Officials assigned her a space with both a long table and window cameras watched by security officers who guarded the entry. A mirror reflection revealed her corporate-style clothin

105JOANA'S POVA few moments passed.“Do the kids know?” he asked, finally looking up.I nodded. “We’ll explain more later. But for now, they know something bad happened, and they’re safe. That’s enough.”He leaned back slowly, exhaustion clinging to every movement. “What happens now?”“Now?” I repeated. “Now we wait for the storm she started to finally pass.”He gazed at me from across the room, showing emotions that fell between regret and remorse. “What will you do?”I looked toward the closed door where Anita had been taken, then toward the grand staircase leading up to where the children were playing.“I’ll protect what matters,” I said. “Always.”Caleb gave a small nod beside me. Clinton glanced at me with something warm in his eyes.And for the first time in weeks, maybe months, I didn’t feel like I was drowning in all of this. I felt grounded. Steady. In control.The silence returned, but it wasn’t heavy now. It was thoughtful. Reflective. A room breathing after holding its b

104JOANA'S POV“Joana… what do you mean?”I didn’t bother answering Mr. Gates’ question. Let him stew in the weight of those words. Let him replay them in that calculating mind of his and wonder what I meant by shadows and what I knew that he didn’t. He wanted power and leverage. But then came the real scream—the kind that made the walls of the mansion vibrate and shattered whatever illusion of peace we had managed to hold onto for a single day.It came from the living room.I froze mid-step.Mr. Gates straightened behind me, his frown now sharp and urgent. We converged toward the shock with our steps matching each other like two magnets drawn to face their end.Stepping into the living room, I saw an expected disaster happening, like a show I was used to, though it stirred up my emotions.Two officers stood at the doorpost with straight postures showing their service badges shining under the sunshine. Staring at the officers in shock, Anita's blouse lost its smoothness, and her eye

103JOANA'S POVThe next morning unfolded like any other. We returned to the mansion, and you’d think nothing had happened the night before—the tension, the confrontation, the near brush with tragedy. The mansion seemed too serene for its usual lively atmosphere. Bright sunshine filtered through the glass to enhance the floor's golden shine, and the children's cheerful voices made architectural echoes. They ran to their various rooms to have their own fun.But there was nothing normal about today.Clinton and I walked side by side into the living room, Caleb trailing closely behind with his usual wary eye. The children followed their regular habits by having Mirabel draw at the window seat as Jake and Japheth competed loudly at their game.During this brief moment, I halted all my activities to breathe. To hope that things might start settling.Then, like the devil knew, just when to knock, a deep voice rang out from the hallway."Joana. A word," Mr. Gates said, arms folded as he sto
