After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, Romeo stepped outside. At that time, he had already convinced himself that Nancy had gone for good.

It was worse than a near-death experience for Romeo. He knew the wife he married and decided to act smart. He hadn't told her yet, and she was already acting like she would set the house ablaze. He can't imagine what will happen when he eventually does.

“I just hope I can keep up with this lie for the next 6 months until I get my job back," Romeo prayed. He did a cross sign and went back to bed.

The suspension at the station was somehow becoming a blessing in disguise for Romeo because he couldn't call the last time he had that long sleep. Let alone staying at home that long before.

It wasn't too long when Romeo went to sleep, and he was already hearing some footsteps in his dream. He thought it was all a dream until he heard someone call his name. “Romeo!”

The voice sounded like Nancy's. Instantly, Romeo tossed off the bed as fear grippe

    “Oops, it looks like you weren't aware that Dexter was arrested. Damn! Why did I tell you? I should have kept it to myself,” Olivia facepalms. She thought Derek was aware of it. Now, she just got herself involved in bigger trouble because Doctor Escobar had warned them not to discuss Dexter's arrest with anyone. “I need to see the doctor or my Father this minute. I will address the arrest of Dexter after. But first, my Father is important. Lastly, don't be scared. I am not going to tell your Doctor that you told me about the arrest. It's nothing for you to worry about. I do understand how significant your job is, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize it,” Derek assured. He wasn't ready to kill two birds with one stone."That way, please. That's the road to the Doctor's officeAnd please — don't forget the promise you had made. You know what they said about promises, right?' Nurse Olivia gave up trying to argue with Derek. She was damn convinced that the argument wasn't going to yield

    It's been over fifteen minutes since Ciara arrived at the address that Walters described, and she hasn't entered the building. She kept calling for Walters to come outside so she could hand him over. Unfortunately for Ciara, he wasn't picking up his calls. It got to a point where his phone reportedly went off. This got Ciara worried and scared at the same time. She regretted ever accepting to return the clothes and wallet to Walters. She only did that just to stop Walters from showing up to her Father's house again like he did the last time. What hurt Ciara the most was the fact that she had to disobey her Father just to come see Walters. The thought of this alone made her not to give up. She was determined to stay back and wait for Walters to return. She wasn't bothered by how long he stayed. She wouldn't want her effort to be in vain.As Ciara waited for Walters, she had her eyes combing the entirety of the neighborhood to ensure that no one came to assault her. “I still don't k

    “George, can you just listen to your son? Why aren't you saying anything about it?” Doctor Escobar asked George for some support. Sadly for him, it looked like George was ready to take sides with Derek. The look on George's face says it all. He might not have uttered a word, but he managed to send a message across that Doctor Escobar understood perfectly fine. He needed no one to explain further.“What a show of disgrace. Just when I thought you'd be different from your brother. You turned out worse,” Escobar hissed and walked away.Derek wasn't bothered by the gesture towards him. He would rather focus on the issue that brought him to the hospital.“Derek, that was rude. After this conversation, you need to apologize to the Doctor. I didn't raise you to be that rude,” George demanded and Derek obeyed without any argument. Even on his sick bed, he still has some sort of authority over Derek. “I just found out about Dexter's arrest from one of the nurses. Why haven't you done anythi

    It didn't take too long for Doctor Escobar's phone to beep. He checked his phone and confirmed he had received the address. “You can leave. I will take it up from here. Just pray that he is granted bail. Otherwise, consider your job gone without salary. Remember, the month ends in a couple of days," Escobar spared Elisabeth and dismissed her. Although it did sound like a threat, Nurse Elizabeth wasn't bothered. She was more than pleased, knowing that her job was safe meanwhile. “I saw you walk into the doctor's office. What did he discuss with you? I do hope it's not what I am thinking already?” Olivia asked nurse Elizabeth. She was outside, waiting for Elizabeth to show up and feed her ears. “You again? Olivia, why are you stalking me? Haven't you done enough already?” Elizabeth fumed. She wished it would have been a different person who stopped her and not Olivia who announced Dexter's arrest to everyone.“Are you still mad at me? Come on, I am sorry for what happened between

    “Now I am convinced that. I am the biggest fool that ever lived on planet Earth, and there's no contesting that. How I allowed myself to be fooled by Walters remains a mystery to me. To worsen it all, the son of a bitch doesn't even have a place in its home. Yet, he was able to play a fast one on me. Was I jinxed or drugged to have sex with that lunatic? How did I even end up being in a relationship with him?” Ciara lamented bitterly as she stood by the roadside, waiting for a cab heading to the hospital. Everyone passing by kept staring at Ciara. From the way she was speaking to herself, they thought she was going insane. She wasn't bothered by the strange attention she was getting because that was the only way she could express herself. Finally, she was able to find a cab after waiting under the sun for too long. The cab fee was quite on the high side. Still, Ciara wasn't bothered. Her major priority was heading to the hospital to conduct a series of tests. As she arrived at the

    “What does it matter? Can we not talk about it and focus on what brought me here?” Ciara waved it off. She wasn't known to be letting go of situations like that. Most especially the ones that involve her getting disrespected or insulted. “I see. Whatever you wish for is fine by me. Now tell me. What do you want to discuss? I am all ears,” Adrian asked. He stopped being over-excited to avoid being perceived as a joke. It was already obvious to him that Ciara didn't come to play games. “Before I proceed, can you please shut the door? I wouldn't want anyone barging in to hear what I want to discuss with you about,” Ciara pleaded. This was the part that got Adrian confused the most. He couldn't understand where Ciara was driving. “Now you're getting me confused. What seemed to be the problem? Why should I lock the door? Do you feel threatened?” “Nevermind! It's fine if you don't want to lock the door. I understand your reason and I won't judge you,” Ciara retreated immediately. She w

    “What do you need me to do for you? Just name your price and I will gladly pay, without forcing a negotiation,” Nurse Elizabeth agreed without even listening to Derek's demands.Nurse Olivia wasn't really concerned about the consequences of Derek's demand. To her, that was the perfect opportunity to redeem herself, and she's ready to make the best of the moment, regardless of the challenges it might be for her.“I trust you were going to comply. That's the shit I am referring to. I've always known I could bank on you,' Derek gave out a wicked smile.Leaning forward, Derek rested his hand on Elizabeth's shoulder and whispered to her ears. “I will need the address of the station my brother was arrested in. I want to believe you can grant my request, right?”“What the heck?”Elizabeth almost screamed. However, she was quick to cover her mouth to avoid attracting the attention of others“What's that about, girl?Wait a minute! Were you about to scream? You were lucky that never happened.

    “Me? When did that ever happen?” Olivia pointed to herself in the utmost confusion. She looked around to be certain that Elizabeth was actually referring to someone else. “Derek was here?I wasn't even aware of it. When did I even have the conversation with him?" Nurse Olivia went further to defend herself with a salient point to prove her Innocence. She was so good at it that to the point where Elizabeth was starting to doubt her instinct. “Who could have told him if it wasn't you?”“Could you believe that Derek threatened me to disclose the address of the station where Dexter was arrested? He was so confident and made me believe that someone told him. The only person who came to my mind was you,” Elizabeth confessed.“You have got to be kidding me. What do you think about me? What about Doctor Escobar? Have you ever thought If he was responsible for this? Think about this,” Olivia suggested.“Holy grail! Of course, it's Doctor Escobar. Now I remember everything.

    "Sir, I don't think you have the slightest idea who's out there. Because if you do, you will swing into action immediately. Besides, I've tried all I could to get rid of him. Still, he has proven to be difficult," Rhoda cried. She hasn't witnessed anything like that before. Not even some murder cases she had sorted out in the past had stressed the fuck out of her the same way Derek did."Save your explanation. I already know who's out there giving you trouble. Isn't that Derek, the brother of the boy who assaulted Nurse Elizabeth? The same case that got Romeo suspended for months? But what I can't seem to fathom is why you decided to run to me like a coward." Lucas finally lifted his head to speak. His reason was that he wanted Rhoda to read in between the lines and watch his lips move into different positions. "Sir, you knew all along that it was Dexter's brother yet you didn't bother to step outside to my rescue? This is unbelievable!" Rhoda's mouth widened. The shocked look on h

    Derek finally arrived at the station after a 30-minute drive. Being his first time visiting that area, it became somewhat difficult for Derek to find the station. "It feels good to finally arrive. What a journey it has been. I never thought that such a station even existed in this region," Derek said as he pulled up to the parking lot of the station. "Stay calm and relaxed, Derek. Just go In there, do your thing, and fucking leave like a Boss. No need for any unnecessary drama. This isn't who you are. You're a mother fucking perfect gentleman," Derek said to him as he strives not to freak out in the presence of the cops. That was Derek's first time visiting the police station, unlike Dexter, who has been there a bunch of times. Aside from Derek's phobia for those kinda places, he was also skeptical since he had heard terrible things about the station. The horrible things he heard contributed to his hatred towards the armed forces and everything that they believed in. Eventually,

    “I stopped by the nearest hospital for some check-ups just to be sure that I was safe. Walters's sudden appearance at the house called for it. For someone who hasn't reached out to me In months, I figured that he might have a hidden agenda," Ciara explainedKelly was satisfied. He forced himself to believe that Ciara had touched all areas. But to Ciara, that wasn't a complete story. She omitted the part where she found out that Walters was homeless. He was not just homeless, but he also borrowed the outfit he visited her with. That alone might make Kelly do something he would regret for the rest of his life. “I see.” Kelly sighed.He didn't know what else to say. Ciara had forced him to exhaust his strength.“Dad, I apologize for disobeying you. I didn't know how Walters was able to deceive me into having sex with him. But trust me, there won't be a next time. It's a good thing to know that I am free from any sexually transmitted disease,” Ciara begged her Father. She sat on his l

    “I've got a confession to make.Don't take it personally,” Both of them spoke together. It looked as though it were planned, but it wasn't. No one knew that the other one was going to say something. The words just came out of their mouths coincidentally. “Dad, you go first, I will listen,” Ciara said as she hid the test result in her possession. While Ciara planned to hide it away forever, she got caught in the process. She wasn't aware that Kelly had already seen it first. He chose not to ask Ciara about the envelope because he thought it wasn't relevant. Seeing Ciara hide the envelope like contraband goods, he was more convinced to ask about it even if it meant causing a scene.“What's behind you, Ciara? And why are you even hiding it from me, your Father? Is it something I should be worried about?” Kelly stretches his hand forward to retrieve the brown even lope. “What are you talking about, Dad? It's nothing for you to worry about. I wouldn't want us to spoil the fun momen

    “This is strange. I wasn't even thinking about that,” Elizabeth was more confused. She had no idea that Olivia never mentioned that to Doctor Escobar. “Olivia, what else did you tell the Doctor?” Elizabeth whispered to Olivia. She was quite confident that a lot of negativity must have been told in her absence. “I am not going to answer that question right now,” Olivia snubbed Elizabeth's question in a grand style“That's enough I don't want you two fighting in my hospital.” Doctor Escobar stopped what would have been a third world war.“Nurse Elizabeth, you stay back while Nurse Olivia and I handle everything,” Doctor Escobar authorized Elizabeth's prayers were answered. However, she didn't express her excitement due to reasons best known to her.“Finally! The stubborn eagle has landed. Look who we have here,” George taunted Doctor Escobar the moment he walked inside the ward with Olivia. “I can see that my message was well sent. I must applaud your nurses for giving me listenin

    “How are you feeling today, sir? I want to believe that there's a significant change in your health status, right?” Nurse Olivia asked George with a smile on her face as Nurse Elizabeth watched over. She still wasn't confident enough to look George in the face. Everything about the coopers scares the living daylight out of her. “I'm better now! When will I be discharged? My company needs me. I've been away for too long,” George responded. “That's why we are here, sir. You are getting discharged immediately. You don't have to worry yourself about staying away for too long,” Elizabeth disclosed. That was the first time she spoke for the past couple of minutes she had been In the ward. It even took her a couple of minutes to put the words together as though she was being threatened not to speak. “I don't understand what's going on. Where's the doctor? Why did he send you two to handle this? Is the doctor upset with me?” George raised the concern as he stood up from the bed. Elizabe
