“What… what do you mean?” Khloe asked as she sat frozen in her spot. Adrenaline surging through her body. “What are you saying Kelly?” She repeated.

“Your life is in grave danger Khloe. People are after you and I do not know for what reasons. Think of it, ever since you claimed the company, what good has come out of it?” Kelly paused, searching her eyes for any answers but got nothing in return.

“Exactly, nothing. It has been one problem to another,” she paused and silence stretched between the two ladies.

With a sigh, Khloe shook her head and spoke. Her voice was soft and defeated “How come you know about Sylvester?”

“I met with Leo, my colleague in IT and we got into a discussion which made me bring up the topic of Sylvester and we decided to go a bit about him. I had his phone number so I gave it to him. Sylvester isn't who he seems to be, Khloe.”

Khloe's eyes widened in shock, her mind racing with the implications, thoughts that can't be put into words. Finally she managed

    “Be specific about what you're saying mother. How are we going to make them go bankrupt?” Mara asked curiously. She was no in support of this but since her mother and brother were, she had no choice but to comply.“Can you seize this your question. Grab me the laptop,” Emily gestured to a laptop over the table which Wilson got up and took to her.Emily got the laptop from him and inserted the USB drive and then a series of information about the company's latest transactions and monetary value popped up immediately. They opened in bewilderment as they gazed at the database, the sequels and series.“This is a lot of information. We can use these files against them. Plus, change something here. Look, they made a transaction with the SandyFlow company about two days ago. Khloe is really doing well keeping up with these numbers,” Wilson commented genuinely impressed by it all.“It's not the time for that. We should cherish this and….” Emily was saying but got interrupted by a vase outside.

    Khloe was almost burying herself into the thoughts about the notes when she suddenly changed the topic.“Come on, the doctor said you'd be discharged in no time, so we can have time to punish those fools,” said Khloe.“I told you, I'm fine…” Kelly was saying but Khloe snapped her out.“But you don't look fine, Kelly. Look at your body… I'm not saying this again. I'll go get the doctor's approval to confirm if you can be discharged now,” Khloe got up from the bed and headed to the door. She got to the door knob and as she was about to turn it, someone else beat her to it.“Hello,” he said, flashing his set of teeth at the ladies.“Sylvester, what are you doing here?” Khloe asked in shock. She never expected to see him at the hospital.“I heard about the accident from Rachel and I decided to come visit. I hope I'm not disturbing anything?” He asked, still standing by the doorway.“No, you aren't, ” Khloe replied, her brows still raised as she was still suspicious of his visit. “Relax K

    “Are we striking tonight?” Sam asked as he brought out some bags from the car's trunk. Arthur was getting out of the car and was walking over to him.“Since we've got eyes on his location and where he is headed, I think tonight's good,” Arthur replied casually, rubbing his chin. These past days, he hasn't been himself lately, constant fear and worries. They were getting ready for their mission which has been ongoing and planned for the past weeks. Ever since his last defeat, Arthur has told himself to be more calm rather than heading towards danger. He's been hitting the gym and doing some relaxation exercises to cool his temper. “Tonight, he believes they'll all pay off,” he muttered to himself.Sam nodded in regards to his previous statement, his eyes scanning the surrounding area as he unloaded the bags. They were just in his mansion back in Maryland, where Scott was still residing with his family but this time they made sure to set all plans right before making any move."Alrig

    His heart impulse accelerated as he anticipated the bad news. Just then, all his fears and worries came rushing in like a flood of water, infiltrating his thought process and disrupting his attention. “Sam, we've received intel that the target has moved locations," Ryder said interrupting Arthur's thoughts, his voice firm. "We need to adjust our plan accordingly.“What do you mean?” Sam's voice was also firm. He glanced at Arthur to see his facial expressions and as expected, Arthur was already pissed with the change.Arthur's mind has been occupied with the information Kelly had told him earlier on.“I knew we never did such but why do I have such an odd feeling about this,” but he brushed it off with just a shake of the head, he knew he had to focus. "What's the new location?" he asked, trying to sound calm."It's an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. We planned on making our way there once we got a hold of him," Ryder replied. "We need to move quickly, as we don't kn

    The fear in Scott Freedman's eyes was all Arthur wanted to see, that fear was what he was longing for. “So you can be scared after all,” Arthur said, his voice low and as deep as the ocean, sending shivers down Scott's spine. “Don't hurt them, I'll do whatever you want please, just don't hurt my family,” Scott pleaded, his eyes teary and his voice dripping with fear while he was shaking. “I would have reconsidered because you are my father's friend but seeing how you murdered them cold blooded with no remorse…." Arthur smirked, grinning from ear to ear. "We can talk this through," Scott tried reasoning with him but Arthur gave him no ears. He cocked his gun and Scott whimpered. "Bring them out," he signalled Ryder and he went in. Scott followed Ryder's every movement to know what he wanted to bring out whilst his heart was pounding hard in his chest, loud for everyone to hear and his breath panting like never before. Ryder disappeared into the shadows, leaving Scott's imaginati

    After the whole incident, Arthur went outside to meet with Sam. The dark cloud had suddenly changed and the sun was rising. The sky was becoming clear.“You've finally gotten your revenge. I hope it has restored some peace within you," Sam said immediately as he acknowledged Arthur's presence.“Yes actually, and it feels so good,” Arthur said, relieved.They both stared at the morning as they felt the cool breeze.“I guess we have to leave now,” Sam said. “Ryder and the boys are clearing the place now and they'll go home later.” Arthur sighed, closing his eyes but was interrupted by a buzzing sound. He brought out his phone from his right pocket and there it was, Kelly again. “It's Kelly,” he muttered. “I think you should go meet her. And talk things out with her. She seemed worried over the phone plus, clean yourself up. You smell of blood mixed with sweat. It's revulsive,” Sam closed his nose backing away from Arthur.“Shut up. What is the time? How long have we been here?” Arth

    His words shattered her to her bones. Her heart sank and tears flowed from her face. “Why?” She asked, her voice shaky and low in a whisper. All these attempts, and Arthur still ignored her. “Why Arthur? Don't ignore me please!’” she yelled, gaining his attention. He turned abruptly to her, his eyebrow curled in a scowl as he stared at her. “This is exactly why. You're just so... I don't even know the right words to use to describe what it is that you do,” h3 said, pissed by her tantrums. “Why can't you give me a chance? Just one chance….” “To do what exactly? Huh? Kelly, I've told you. This thing you want…” he gestured his hands between them, “it cannot work. You were and still like a sister to me. A sister I never had but now you're taking things too far.” Kelly stared at him silently as she let the tears fall without trying to wipe them. She felt her world crumble because of the rejection. “I'm going downstairs now,” Arthur announced, leaving her in his room. Immediately

    Arthur Cassius was silent for a moment thinking of the best way to get in. If he says the wrong thing, she might not open the door, so the only way is to agree to all that she was asking.“Listen, to me Kelly. I want to be very honest with you right now,” Arthur started, his voice calm and soothing. “The truth is that I love you. I don't know how to put it but it is the honest truth. I also want to apologise for how I've been treating you lately. It's very unfair and so unkind of me,” he paused, then sighed, and leaned his weight on the door.“I have been through a lot lately and it's hard to even share those feelings and experiences with anyone. I hope you understand how I feel about it,” he concluded, hoping she buys the lies, well, it all wasn't a lie though. He has gone through a lot and he's trying to adjust and maintain his ground but she was making it very difficult for him.Suddenly, the door knob opened and Kelly stepped out. “Kelly,” Arthur said his voice came out low but

    The next morning, Kelly woke up and walked to the next room to check on Khloe but to her surprise, she wasn't in the room. She proceeded downstairs only to find Khloe holding a travel bag. “I'm so sorry I didn't wake you up to tell you anything but I have to leave,” Khloe said. “It's okay but uhh…where are you going?” “I can't tell you that but be rest assured that I'm going to be fine. I have to do this alone,” Khloe said. Kelly looked at Khloe in deep confusion but she knew she wouldn't be able to stop her because determination was written all over her face. “Okay then Khloe but at least take my car,” Khloe suggested. “I don't think that'll be a great idea. How will you get it?” “What do you mean?” Kelly asked. “I'm leaving the country,” Khloe uttered. “Whattt??? Okay just take the car and leave the car keys with an officer. I'll get a can and pick it up once I'm done washing up.” Khloe hurriedly got the car keys and drove out of Kelly's home. “Hello Arthur. Khloe just l

    “Ethan, what are you doing there? Where is Khloe?” Arthur asked.“Uh..umm…uhhh,” Ethan muttered.“Don't overthink it. It was a direct question. Where is she?” Arthur asked again, his voice raised above normal. “She…uhh, she went that way,” Ethan responded, his voice shaky.Arthur looked at the path and started running heading for the direction Ethan had pointed. Kelly ran right behind him as she shouted for him to slow down.“Wait Arthur, let's take my car. That way, we will get to her fast,” Kelly suggested.They both got into the car and drove away as they stared sideways in case of anything. Arthur let down the car window, took out his head and started calling out Khloe's name but all in vain.“I think I saw movement. Wait….it's Khloe,” Kelly uttered.Arthur immediately got out of the car before it could even stop. He panted as he finally caught up with her and slowly touched her arm.“Khloe, please wait. Please hear me out,” Arthur said in a gentle tone.“I don't know what to thi

    “Wait up, Khloe,” Ethan called out.“I don't want to deal with you Ethan. What do you want now?” Khloe asked in a rather unpleasant tone.“I know I didn't treat you well but I'm now reformed. My eyes are open now. Hannah is not even my mother and I don't love Katrina anymore,” Ethan blabbered. “Why are you telling me all this and what makes you think I want to hear any of it? You really want to take advantage of the situation and take me back but that won't happen, not even in your wildest dreams,” Khloe yelled as she trolled through the woods.“Okay…okay, I understand. At least let me drive you home. You can't wander off on the streets at this time. It's not safe because we don't know if everyone that wants to harm you is out of the way.”“Okay fine but you mean nothing to me at all and….” She was still talking when a female figure appeared along the path they were taking.“You dirty pathetic thief, where is the key? You have to give it back,” Hannah said firmly, holding tight fists

    Kelly had just arrived at the mansion when she saw a convoy leave the premises followed by Arthur. They were all driving at full speed so this made Kelly turn around and follow them.“I wonder what Arthur is up to. He has been planning his schemes alone but today, I must find out,” she said, as she rushed to catch up with them.She followed closely as they drove into a seemingly quiet and isolated area. She was getting scared but it wasn't the time for her to back out because she had already come this far. Her mind raced with uncertainty and worry for what was ahead but she kept her eyes on the road, dimmed her car lights and created some distance so that she's not noticed. She could only trail along the back lights of the vehicle that was immediately in front of her. Kelly noticed that the vehicles she was following were starting to park so she looked for a spot to squeeze her relatively small car. She got out with the only light being the flashlight on her phone to follow Arthur and

    “I am surely putting an end to that girl tonight and she won't even see it coming,” Hannah Foster said, firmly. “Yes mother…we are already waiting outside the residence where the two reside. She's not getting away this time and I'll make sure of that,” Marcus assured her on the other side of the call. “The warehouse at the South East of the farm is ready and that's where you'll bring that pathetic girl. My men are already positioned and there's no way she'll get out of this alive,” Hannah responded. Meanwhile Ethan had stopped by his mother's room to greet her when he heard muffled voices and couldn't believe what his mother had just said. He was so close to her that he had never imagined that she'd actually plot to have someone killed so he leaned forward to eavesdrop. “Finally we can get what's rightfully ours and also get rid of this bustard, Ethan,” she added. “Now is even the right time to tell this idiot that I'm not his real mother. I have had to deal with his idiocy for

    Two years later, Arthur and Khloe's bond grew stronger by the day as their relationship blossomed into something beautiful, full of love, care and compassion. This was exactly what Khloe had always longed for and at this point, she hopes for nothing but longevity, sustainment and forever unending love. It was going on well between the couple but Arthur hadn't really had the time to tell Khloe the whole truth. He felt like keeping everything away from her was the best decision and that she had suffered way too much to take in all the nonsense that he had to say. At least that's what he called it…NONSENSE. Khloe and Arthur often had date nights both at the mansion and outdoors but at very specific spots. They valued their privacy a lot and they wanted to love themselves the best way they know how to. It was really beautiful because being in love really looked so good on Khloe. All this was happening and they had no idea of the evil plans that were being schemed. The Elliots and the Fo

    Love was in the air as the two love birds couldn't let each other go for a single minute. They sat on the couch as they caressed each other giggling like no one else was in the room. It's like they had spent years without seeing one another but well, what can we say…Love is indeed blind.Kelly however hadn't stopped thinking about what Arthur was talking about earlier. She was really concerned so much yet it wasn't her business and let alone she wasn't in position to get concerned at all.“It's getting late, I should get going,” Kelly said, as she bid farewell.Everyone said bye to her and they continued to talk till very late. “Sam, I think you'll have to sleep in the guest house tonight. You can't leave this late yet there's a lot of room in the house. You'll crash here tonight,” Arthur said to Sam.*“Mother, how are you feeling now?” Clark asked.“I am feeling better now, I want to go home.

    Clark shoke his mother so hard while he cried heavily as he saw her shut her eyes. Hannah then groans a little as she tries to move her hand but the effort is so weak. Clark tried to keep her awake by calling out her name but it was evident that he was so confused and scared. He panicked so much as tried to soothe his mother. The sounds of sirens grew louder as the paramedics approached the Foster residence. They barged into the house and carried Hannah onto a stretcher making their way to the ambulance. Clark followed closely as he held his mother's hand and asked her to hang in there. He got into the ambulance with her and they headed to the hospital. *“Take that corridor and head to the right at the end of it. You'll see cell 249 and that's where you'll see him,” the officer at the front desk said to the two ladies.Khloe rushed through the corridor as Kelly followed right behind her.She got to the end of the corridor and the moment she turned, Arthur's eyes met with hers.She
