Later that night, Carlos trudged down the stairs to make himself a cup of coffee only to come in touch with his mother who had a glass cup filled with steaming tea in her grip.

"Carlos, if the bank hadn't called earlier today. I wouldn't have known about such an amount of money, what did you need such an amount for?" Gina asked her son who rubbed his face before responding.

"Uhmmm___ mother," Carlos voiced out but went mute right after.

"Carlos?" His mother called yet again.

"Uhhh mum, I invested in a certain company and I just didn't want to bother you about it because I already took out a loan and needed to pay up after I lost so much money!" Carlos lied.

"But why didn't you tell me?" Gina asked yet again.

"Didn't you hear me mom? I was so worried that you would get upset with me." Carlos said.

"You have money Carlos and I would always give you money for business if you wanted, what was the reason to have collected a huge loan?" Gina pointed out with a frown.

"Common, are we going to seat here while you smile and flirt with that guy all night? He hasn’t glanced your way even once!" Daisy asked Lara curiously. "We are not living here until I have found out what secret Carlos is keeping," Lara responded to her friend. "And how sure are you that he would give in to you? He doesn't even know you!" Daisy exclaimed as Lara stood up from her chair before speaking. "Oh well, I would like to introduce myself to him." She uttered before cat walking towards the corner where Joseph had three girls with skimpy clothing clustered around him. "Drink up girls!" The voice of Joseph uttered cheerfully."You know what, you girls are just too beautiful." He lamented but his attention was soon diverted when a hand tapped his shoulder making him swirl around.

    Meanwhile, Miriam sat at the dining table while staring at the tea in front of her in deep thought but the voice of her sister had brought her back from all her thinking. "Miriam dear, why are you so up early?" Eleanor questioned as she glared at the clock on the wall."To be sincere, I wasn't able to sleep a wink last night. I kept thinking about Carlos's bad dreams he had been having recently, he always seemed so scared." Miriam said putting her hands on her jaw with an unhappy expression. "You can't blame your husband. He is always busy and might have so many things on his mind. That might have been the reason why he had been having all this horrible nightmare." Eleanor told her. "That was exactly what I told him but it seems like something bigger is bothering him. Asive he is hiding something from me, like something he can't tell me!" Miriam told her sister while careesing her exposed arms. "Miriam, you have known your husband for a long time. You know that he would never hide

    "Miriam had fixed some snacks to take over to Carlos and his friend when she stopped to eavesdrop on what they were discussing. Not that she wanted to but the discussion they were having seemed so serious and heated that it had made her very much curious!"It's a good thing that your mum gave you some money but what about the rest? How the hell are you going to get the remaining two point five million without your mother knowing!" His friend exclaimed."Yeah, but I can still sell off some of the properties right?" Carlos said."Are you crazy? You would definitely end up in the street if your mother finds out." Jeffery uttered. "Jeffery, I would lose Miriam if Joseph began to talk. I would rather lose all the riches and go poor as long as I am with them, I can't live in this grand mansion without my wife and daughter. It would be a waste," He told his friend and Miriam had decided to go back to the kitchen with the snack. THE FOLLOWING DAYThe next day, Miriam had gone out with her f

    "What, how did Lara know that you were the one who had raped Miriam? Did you tell her?" Jeffery asked Carlos who looked tensed up. "Look, I can't obviously be that stupid to have told her anything. I really don't know how she found out." Carlos spoke out as he walked around the office. "Joseph is the only one who knows right?" Jeffery implored. "What if he had told her?" Jeffery expanded smartly. "But Lara doesn't know Joseph, what more? Why would Joseph tell her about this, what would he gain?" Carlos questioned his friend."You know what? This is getting way more complicated than I ever thought. Especially now that someone else knows about your secret!" His friend uttered. "I'm not going to give in to Lara, I know that I'm not supposed to lie. Especially to my wife!" Carlos voiced out. "But do you have a choice?" Jeffery lamented. "You expect me to keep this away from Miriam forever? If I tell her the entire truth, I know that she would detest me. Buddy, I can't live without

She responded briskly as the door of the house made some cracking sounds that had gained both their attention."Yes, how can I help you!" The lady in her early fifties uttered. Miriam sighed before smiling charmingly at her. "Uhm__ sorry to bother you, I'm a friend of Joseph!" Miriam spoke up politely. "Joseph?" The lady repeated. "You see, he is a very good friend of ours and we honestly don't have an idea of where he lives!" Miriam said smartly. "I'm sorry but we don't have a Joseph that is here or one that we know!"

He had gone straight to the lieutenant's office to discuss a few things with him."I would like to see the little evidence you accumulated when you found Miriam. I just feel like it may help in finding the victim in the ongoing case of Miriam!" Christian pointed out and that had ignited a small scoff from the lieutenant. "I'm very sorry sir but those things are considered confidential. We can't just show them to anybody who just asks for them!" The officers blurted out and that had ignited a fumed expression from Christain. "But Romeo, I was the first one you talked to regarding this case, I have helped so much in this case!"

The screen displayed footage of a man being led away in handcuffs by police officers."I honestly had no idea that he would be handcuffed in front of everybody," Miriam said, a little bit guilty. Miriam's voice trembled as she spoke, the weight of the situation sinking in. "Well, I think that's good.

Okay!” Miriam said, grabbing her bag to leave the house.“Sure, I would make sure that he gets his bath,” Doris said but their little discussion was interrupted when Eleanor walked inside followed by Christian and the lawyer. “Miriam, you have got a guest,” Eleanor informed her sister before she could leave. “Miriam, Carlos had done something through a high source of justice!” Christian voiced.“And what’s that?” Miriam asked.“Based on everything that the lawyer had gotten from the court, it says that Carlos has already admitted the incident to you and that you have forgiven him before you even got married!” Christian voiced out and that had left Miriam’s mouth to hang open. “But that’s not true, he merely even told me that he was the one who had violated me. Oh my Goodness!” Miriam said, rubbing her forehead. “That’s a great defense!” Christian voiced out.“Your ex-husband is such a liar,” Doris said, wiggling her head in shame.
