THE NEXT DAY - I stayed back at the hospital, Riya slept like a baby laying on my lap, and talk about me not having any sleep at all.
"Pssst"
I veered back and saw methane calling out to me, she signaled, "meet me outside the hospital", and left afterward, a few seconds headcount, I gently laid Riya's head down and walked out to meet her.
"Hey! What is it?".
She swivels wearing a terrified look on her face, " Andres! You asked me to trust you but it's been hours now, yet nothing has happened, can you tell me what's going on?".
"Look! I did tell you to trust me and you should, we need not do anything stupid, so please calm yourself down and let me do my job!"
(I walked back into the hospital)
Methane walked in after a few seconds contemplating to herself when Riya screamed out loud attaining our attention.
"Riya what is going on!"
A
inaudible conversation)And it hasn't been an hour since methane left my room, Riya sneaks in without my knowledge, donning a vicious smile on."Hello! Handsome" she finally makes her presence known, gaining my attention to her."Hello, Riya! What are you doing here?" I asked fiddling for her response.So she says, "what do you mean why am I here? Can't I come to talk with you anymore? Ain't we friends?". She frowns at me.I had no idea that our relationship can be tagged as being friends, I have always thought that I was the guy, who normally comes to her rescue! Nothing more, nothing less."Wow, Riya! You surprise me with your words".(A flabbergasted glare draped over my face)Riya gigged seeing the look I had on, she takes three steps closer to where I stood, our eyes locked for a while before she proceeds with her statement.
Hello Salem! I need you to accompany me to a place". She says fiddling for my response.The look she had on gave me the clarity that wherever we were going to, isn't going to be a jolly LLB ride."Yes Ma'am, but where are we going too?" I asked her."You'll see, come on" she walked passed donning a weak smile on.We got into the car, David, Elena's driver, immediately drove off the second we got in.I turned my eye and saw how calm Elena was, she veers her eyes elsewhere as we drove past the streets of Elmore city.(1½ hours later)I still couldn't place my fingers as to where we were heading too! But my pending question got answered the second David drove into the exact place everything ended that very day."Get out!" Elena repaid her eyes to me, out of curiosity and a slit fear of the unknown I got out of the car.D
nothing! I noticed that you haven't eaten anything yet! Why?". I asked fiddling for her response.The furious look disappeared the moment I asked her, "nothing, don't worry so much!". She turns her back at me."Okay, but tell me why don't you feel like eating? are you okay?" Once more I asked." Look Salem, I am fine, you don't need to get worried about me, I'll be okay, just leave me alone so I can think!". She backed me altering that out.Apparently, after a while, I listened and left per her instruction. I veered and saw Riya standing behind, she falls her eyes elsewhere thus watched me leave, I know she was still mad at the incident that happened the other day.THE FOLLOWING MORNING(8:00pm)I got up from bed and head down for breakfast, the chairs at the dining table were seated on and the one left was next to Riya who kept a straight face at me.
What demands? I asked myself, what kind of a shady deal is Elena Khan involved in, I believe there's more to her life from what I found out."Look, sir! My apologies but we don't know what problems you have with Elena but please don't do anything that you might regret, you might take me hostage but please send Riya home".My concern was to make sure that Riya doesn't get caught in the middle of a rolling stone and to add it all up, Riya turns her attention and said, "please don't try to pretend that you care about me! I can take care of myself, I don't need your help". (Mtcheeew) she hisses fixing her eyes on me.It's crazy but, did she forget that I am here all tied up like a criminal because of her, if she hasn't called out to me, I would not have been here in this messed-up position."Oh wow, miss, I don't need your help anymore, may I remind you that, you called out to me for my assistance, I didn't just presume
"Riya, please do you have your mom's number?".Decerning I had no idea where I placed my phone, I turned to Riya, for help, the young lady in question here, shook her head after giving me a deadly glare with her eyes."Wow, you're just too much Riya" I frowned upon turning my gaze away, we have got to find a safe place to be for today, since the day has already gone.My eyes wandered away, spotting a little cottage a few blocks from where we stood, it was the only solution Riya and I had, so with that, I walked past veering her eyes to me.She walks behind still holding a grumpy face, as I knocked at the front door of the cottage we had no idea whom it belongs to." who is it?" An elderly woman pulled the door opened and saw two strangers at her front porch, so I said, "Hello ma'am, good evening, I don't know how to say this, but our car broke down and we checked ever

After a long drive, we finally got home, the cab stopped at the entrance of Kahn's mansion, from the far distance we obtained Elena's aggressive words, as we got out of the car and swung close to the front door.Riya strolled in, obtaining the whole family's attention to her, as I followed behind.Elena turns her back and draped a startled look on her face, she runs over and hugged Riya, repaying her eyes to me."How are you Salem? How did you escape, I was so worried about you? Hope you okay?". She tossed questions to me, I shook my head knitting a weak smile."That's good, why don't you go to your room and freshen up".I walked over after heeding to her words, Riya turns her gaze away as I walked up in a cautious attitude.After a while, Elena came to pay me a visit in my room, she walks in without knocking, attaining my attention."Yeah, aunt, did you
Riya runs to her aid, yet the effect of the alcohol has taken a toll on her sanity, Elena nudged her away and walked over to the podium, swiftly dancing by herself.Behind me, I could hear guests soliloquizing to themselves, they said and I quote," as Elena Khan went mad, what's wrong with her?".It pleases me listening to such words about her and I know the press would also have a say in this, which will not be pleasant at all.Methane walks out from behind and saw Elena In such a mood, she turns her eyes and shoots me a devious smile, repaying her eyes to Elena.Something tells me that the real reason for Elena being in this state, as something to do with methane drew, that devious smile says it all.Riya called out for help, as they dragged a drunk Elena Khan to her room, away from prying eyes.I veered back to leave as well and walked in on th
"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
what's going on?". He asked, lost in space, Riya whirls to him and said, "actually, Rohit!! He's the one have been wanting to see, all this while"."Wait!! 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
