After several attempts to stop me from coming back to my birth city, I finally did.
I am Andres Khan alas Salem Baltimore, a tall, handsome, blue-eyed businessman who loved nothing but to see to it that my so-called mom, dies by my hands the same way she killed my family.
I walked out of the airport, got into my car, and drove off in my preferred directions.
While driving memories of when I was a kid flashed before my eyes, I also passed dad's and my favorite Ice cream parlor, before Sara, my loved nanny, who was like a mom to me, come into my life.
"Will it be the same taste?" I said myself, I stopped my car and ambling out to go try It out.
My eyes fixed through the front door but when it wandered away, a lady walked past and by her looks, made me think it was my nanny Sara, my curiosity came to an end when I ended up getting slapped in return for my emotions getting the better of
Salem? What are you doing here"I veered back and saw the same girl I ran into a while ago, it could only mean one thing, Riya is the daughter to Elena, I should have suspected when she called her name."Baby! Do you know him?". Elena asked covering her attention to her, Riya shook her head and explained what happened a while ago.Elena falls her eyes and asks me the weirdest question, "who did you think, she was the moment you hugged her?". Elena inquired.A weak smile drapped around my face, I explained my self telling a white lie, surprised she believed, and ask Riya to walk me to my room.Slowly we walked closer to my room, she pushed the door open, and guess what? It was the same room I stayed in while growing up.My eyes loomed around the room, Riya walks in behind and saw the stunned look I had on my face."Are you okay?" S
Are you mad trying to get yourself killed?" He says to me in a loud tone.Before he got the chance to banter more words out, I forgot my hand on his face, I slapped him, Instantly hurling Riya out of the house."What?"She rushed and pulled him back, attempting to pay back my actions, Riya raised her hands and almost tried to slap me.Amazed she stoped when Elena walked out and asked the reason behind the common out here.Riya shoots the whole issue out of proportion and blatantly lied to her mom, shocking thing happened, Elena, asked for my side of the story, in which I told on the exact truth Riya forgot to tell her.Immediately she pushed Riya out of her way and once again slapped the same person I did.It's shocking to see Elena wasn't hesitant to defend me if only she knew the truth that hides behind the curtains.
Amidst the whole drama, another unfolds when we took heed of a young lady running in."Methane, what happened?". We curiously got up from the chair and veered closer."Ma'am....the.. company..fire..at..the.. warehouse...".I looked on trying to understand the words she says, it made no sense but when she got a chance to get herself together, it was told that the warehouse in which they kept supplies caught fire and also took the lives of two of the workers who were caught in the fire.Elena took a step backward in shock, she almost landed on the floor but when noticed I pulled her up with the hands she strangled years back.After a while, we both got to the site and saw the warehouse as been brunt down and everything inside it.Elena walked further scoring her eye around, quietly I stood and watched, finally gaining methane's attention."Who are you by the way
She poured out her heart to me, remaining to confess her undying love to me, but that wasn't my main concern, I needed to find out something important from her.So I said," erm, ma'am is there any chance that a certain amount of money might be missing from the company?".She ran deep in thought trying to gather up the whole truth, "no son, I don't think so because ever since our account resigned from his post, Stan my sister's husband have been the one handling me,Is it possible that stan might be responsible for the missing money and besides if I have gotten the chance to get to know him, he might as well been called uncle?"Okay, ma'am, I'll go talk with him tonight!". I said as we both left his room.We moved closer and walks in to see he was surprised in a hurry to go leave."Oh good morning Elena, what brings you to my room?". He asked falling his eyes to me.
The minute she walked out of the room, I also veered back to leave just to notice the door has been jammed shut."What the hell?"I tried all I could to break the door but I ran out of energy, hence i was left doing the only thing I never knew I would."Hello, anyone there, please help me".In my quest of finding out the truth, I got myself in deep shit, and to add up to my problems I was claustrophobic, my breathing increase as I banged on the door non-stop to a point I fell to the floor unconscious.Luckily, someone heard me and rushed in to see I saw depleting look on my face, apparently when I peeped to see who it was, Riya screamed out and rushed to send help."Salem? Son are you okay?".I opened up my eyes to see everyone in the family staring worried, Riya stood behind her mom stealing glances at me."I am fine ma'am! I just had a
I returned back into the house and walked in on Riyas's heated conversation on the phone and guest was, her boyfriend, David.She yelled at him through the phone, boy was she mad, her anger can burn down the whole house, if not being taken care of.she veered and saw me staring at her, "what?" Riya says in a pissed-off mood, to avoid getting her aggravated mood passed on to me, I walked over to my room.The following Morning, the calmness of my heart sank me to sleep, but eventually, a certain someone had to ruin it for me, by shouting at the top of her lungs gaining the whole family's attention."Riya, what is it?" Elena and everyone in the family rushed out with her hands on their head and guessed why she shouted? Become she saw the whole house decorated with flowers, urgh! What a drama queen."Mom, why is everywhere decorated?" She asked as if she was against it.
The next morning, I woke up and saw the ongoing preparation of Riya's' engagement, speak of the devil, she hisses the moment she took a glance at me. Drama queen!.Elena was a lot pleased about the whole celebration, whereas the lady who is supposed to be her daughter wasn't, Riya for some reason tried earlier to back down from the alliance.(8:00pm)The subsequent day, precisely eight in the evening, the whole Mansion was filled with lots of guests who veered in and out with gifts.I watched by the side and saw the whole family smiled and welcomed everyone in, in the eyes of the society, they were one happy family but behind, all danced in shadow.A call came through my phone, as I rushed upstairs to answer it, I walked past Riya's room and caught her crying alone, I know it was my business, I just cannot stand seeing tears in her eyes, and before you thi
I had no idea what pushed me to help her, I veered the press attention over to me and specifically made it clear that Elena had no hand in the disappearance of David, Riya's fiance."Thank you so much, today you did what no one else could, you have earned my trust!"A weak smile smudge on my face, and gosh it's felt good finally getting the trust of the person you hate, even the Bible says, keep her friend close and your enemies closer than ever.I got into my room, and saw Riya waiting Inside for my return, "really? What are you doing in my room Riya? Haven't you heard of privacy?".Immediately the glitter in her eyes and the angelic mood she wore vanished into thin air, as usual, she banters words with me."Urgh! I am not in the mood Riya! Just tell me why you are here?" I frowned flinging my shirt off my body."Eww! She turns her back, shying away from me, "what are y
"whoa!! Calm down, Sara!! Remember we're in this together". Liam reminds me.His words seemed to have calmed me down a little, as I pulled back and continued resting on the bed.Thereafter, Liam leaves to get me a glass of water, and it hasn't been long he left, I took heed of someone ambling into the room."Hello miss Sara?". A feminine voice gets my attention back, I veered and saw Riya glaring at me, she took notice of my sign and moves further to me."Hello, Riya!!! I'm glad that we've finally gotten a chance to speak with each other" I said as she smiles at my statement, "yes ma'am!! Congratulation on your pregnancy, I'm sure you will be a good mother, given how wonderful you've been towards Andre's". She adds up her words to me."Yes Riya!! Although I'm not the biological mother to Andre's, I love him as if he mine, and having this child, won't change the love I feel for him".( I gave Riya a c
oh my goodness". I screamed loud like a four-year-old boy, and saw how dad danced to the news."I cannot believe this!! I'm going to a father once again?". Happiness takes control, as he strolls out of the room with the doctor.Riya placed her hand on my shoulder, attaining my attention, "yes please" I said and she goes, "congratulations, I'm sure that having a younger sibling, is going to be awesome". ( In the same glare she says, the same dad returned to the room)He beets his feet close to mom ( Sara), I stood behind and figured he woud like to get some alone time with her, thus I signed Rohit up and immediately he gets the idea, and moved out of the room, with Riya behind and after a few headcounts, I left as well.Rohit takes up a congratulatory handshake and smiled his way back home, whereas Riya was seated on the couch, watching me.(Inaudible conversation)Now reading as Sara Scott POV
STILL AT ANDRES POVThereafter, Rohit gifted her ( Riya) we walked to the dinner table and sat next to each other, mom( Sara) sat beside dad, while I sat with Riya, and at the opposite side was Rohit.The maids brought out the stainless steel plates and placed them in front, dad as usual asked us to jam our hands together to pray, thus the second we finished praying, we all dived our plates. ( Ate our food)My eyes burned to everyone seated they and saw the new look on their faces, thus a while after dinner, I jerked up to leave, and the second my feet ambled to away, I took heed of something falling to the floor, just to turn and intern Sara laying unconscious."Sara?".Immediately we all surrounded her in a fit of shock, dad placed her head on his lap and fondled her face, "Sara!! Please wake up, what happened?". ( He asked)."Andre's!! Call the doctor". Dad adds up his words to me, a

Don't tell me, Andre's Khan is the one, you sacrificed your life for and you're in love with?".( Tension kept building, as he pushed for a response).She repaid her eyes to me and weaved out a reply, "yes!! I'm madly in love with Andres Khan!!! If only he can accept the fact that he also loves me".(Continues talking)"So tell me!! Now that Elena Khan has been put to justice, can you please tell"."Tell what, Riya!!! That I love you as well, that the time Elena took you away from me, my whole life came to a standstill, that I miss our fights and your unbelievable tantrums".( Riya glare quietly as I continued talking)"Fine!!! I love you, Riya Rivera!! And I don't mind, if Elena comes back or not but I prom
ANDRE'S POV8:00pmI left home to Rohit's after a few minutes later, my car stopped at the entrance of his mission, "good evening sir". A man strolls out and welcomed me in, he walked further and took me to Rohit.He veers taking notice of my presence behind, "good evening, my friend"."Hello Rohit"( Reciprocated with mine, ambling further to him)"Am glad that you come over and now that you're here, there's someone I'll like to show you!". ( A weird look spurts up)."What do you mean!! I said wearing a weak smile."You'll see, but first!!! Let's talk business".Rohit walked into his study room, as I followed suit.( An hour's later)"Rohit!! You sent for me?"A feminine voice lets out from behind, I took a quick reaction to her voice and veers back to infer a familiar face glaring a
I went from trying to shy away from him, to hands-on both sides of his cheeks.(Inaudible conversation)The following morning, Liam gets me up from bed, "wake up, sleepyhead"."Urgh!! Let me sleep, Liam" a frown on my face, and veered my eyes aside, inferring yulan standing at the door."What are you doing here?".( Liam withdrew his eyes by the sound of my voice)"Yulan!! Why are you here?" He copies my exact words, so she says, "I'm sorry sir, but you have a visitor downstairs"."A visitor?" He adds up."Yes sir". Yulan says and walks out of the room.He repaid his eyes over to me, "get dressed and come meet me downstairs".( Unfrozen and left the room)A few minutes later, I stepped out and into the living room, only to infer a man seated with Liam, "good morning ma'am"(He says after noting my presence behind)
mom". Andre's gained access into my room, he veers my attention back, "yes, is there any problem?" I faked a smile and he flew in with his question, "tell me the truth, where were you this morning because I don't believe when you said, you went for a jog!! Tell me, what's wrong?"( Andre's placed his hands on my shoulders)A weak on, I answered, "actually dear, I went to the police station, since Liam and you, got the wrong person arrested"."Do you think we don't know? Of cause we do and since yulan is Liam's trusted employee, he thought it wise to get more evidence against her, since a mare accusation won't do any good". Andre explains to me."Wait, are you telling me that, Liam and you intentionally got the wrong person arrested, to get yulan exposed?"( Weaves in with an answer, and he goes affirming my words)"Yes mom and please don't tell dad, you know about his plan, he warned me not to tell y
The next sunshine, before anyone could wait up from home, I sneaked and left to meet the person Liam says, who poisoned me."Hello dear".A girl, I believe would be in her twenties, veers her eyes back the second she heard my voice."Oh!! Help me, ma'am, please believe me when I say that, I didn't poison you," she let out the first thing to me.I knew she didn't poison me but the question now is, how the hell did she get entangled in the web of lies."Miss?"{ Eyes linked as waits for her to me her name) "Lia ma'am". She lets out with a weak smile."Oh okay, Lia now listen to me, I can help you but please promise to do so, because we both need to find the culprit and put her behind bars". ( I said)Lia takes note of my words, "ma'am, you just specified the gender of the culprit, do you know who it is?". ( Waits to hear my response)A weak smile smudge on my face, and said, "Lia, you shouldn't kn
Yulan behavior wasn't bought by me, deep down I felt something fishy happening, yet Liam and Andres were Crossed out from knowing the truth, "Sara are you okay?" Liam's hands on my shoulder attained by eyes back to him. I veered and said, "yes, but something isn't right about yulan and if I can recall, she came into my room and gave me a glass of wine, on behalf of you".My explanation made no difference, Liam gets his hands on my face and poked It further for a warm peg, Andre's left with a smile and after a few headcounts, he ( Liam) left as well, and left me wanting to know more about yulan's hidden truth, thus without hesitation, I walked to her room, only to gain access to her conversation on the phone."Hello, ma'am!! Everything went smoothly, as planned" yulan says through the phone."Who's she talking with?" I asked myself and while trying to attain more, a flower pot placed beside me, dropped to the floor, twinning her eyes back. "Wh
