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
Arthur Cassius tried to steady his breathing as he laid his eyes on Kelly Brownson. Her request seemed to be impossible for him but he has to somehow get out of the situation.“Kelly....” he began slowly walking up to her. “Your request is quite difficult. Why don't we just keep things steady for a while?” He looked up at her, trying to keep his eyes promising and trying to hide the truth beneath them.“I mean, I just found out about your feelings for me. I feel it's right to take it slow than to rush into marriage,” he said, his voice gentle and tender.“I still have one more question for you. And I want you to be very honest with me, can you do that for me?” Kelly nodded, her eyes not leaving his. “Okay. You told your parents you were pregnant. Is that true? And who really is the baby's father?” He said, trying not to offend her.She stayed quiet, “I already told you. Why make me repeat myself? Do you think I'm a liar?”“No, no... That is not the case at all. I just want to know t
Kelly took Arthur home and when they arrived, he immediately went to his bedroom and laid down. His head was really light due to the drink he took, and it was really weighing on him.“Is everything okay?” Kelly asked which startled him. He forgot Kelly was still with him in the house.“Yeah. I just had a lot to drink,” he said grudgingly as his head was aching really bad. The room fell quiet for a while before Kelly's footsteps began retreating, she then paused and turned off the light switch.“Why did you do that?” Arthur questioned.“I noticed you were tired so I wanted to ease you. Make your muscles relax a bit,” she said, her voice soothing as she walked closer to him. “Relax?” Arthur repeated, his voice slightly slurred. “I need to sleep. I want to sleep. My head aches right now,” he complained."Okay, sorry," Kelly said, her voice soft. "I just wanted to help," she said, now her tone is a bit softer than before. This made Arthur's instincts kick in. But he didn't respond to
Something snapped Kelly Brownson out of her thoughts, and she widened her eyes, she glanced around her until her eyes landed on the knife. “Ddn't I just kill myself?” She was confused as to why she was still alive.Her mind was reeling with questions and confusion as she turned her head to see Arthur staring back at her. He was still standing by the bed, his eyes fixed on her with the mixture of disinterest and annoyance.“Aren't you going to do it?” His voice interrupted her thought process.“Huh?” She asked, confused.“What are you doing now? Or have you suddenly gone dumb or something?" Arthur asked, his voice laced with sarcasm. “You brought out that knife to stab who? Maybe me?"Kelly's gaze darted around the room, trying to make sense of what had just happened.“I could have sworn it was real,” she looked at the knife again, and then back at Arthur.“I'm sick and tired of this Kelly,” Arthur lamented. “Always trying to get attention but now, you've gone overboard, by bringing
“Do we really need the other chic? I mean, she's crippled and of no use,” a man said in front of the vehicle. The car was turned on and the engine was rumbling. Kelly and Khloe seated at the back seat, their hands tied and far covered with a mask. Khloe couldn't believe how she was tricked by Sylvester.“Where are you taking us to?” Kelly let out, fear laced in her tone but she tried to act like the bigger sister and stay confident.“Shut up. You're very useless to us and if you don't keep that mouth shut, I'll make sure to gouge it out in no time,” the man threatened and Kelly remained quiet.Khloe sat back with her mind reeling with a series of possibilities of what things may occur. It's obvious she was being kidnapped and whoever set it up, Sylvester was working alongside the person.“We are to meet them down at the station. Around the abandoned gas station,” another said over the phone who was at the location.“Who sent you?” Khloe was so confident and firm that it even surprised
“What happened to her?” Arthur remembered asking her after she had called. “She was kidnapped by some people. I don't know...” Kelly voiced out but her tone was inaudible as she was sobbing so hard. “Calm down. When was the last time you did see her? How did you know she's missing and where are you?” He asked, trying to extract as much information as possible.“Someone abducted us both but left me and took her. I don't know where I am right now. I'm in the middle of nowhere ” she replied. “I think they want to kill her,” immediately those words left her mouth, Arthur jerked up from his bed and grabbed his keys making his way to the airport.Arthur Cassius was on his way to the airport, driving riskyly and almost colliding with every vehicle that passed by. After Kelly Ferguson had broken the news to him, he hasn't been at ease.Now he was on the road driving like a maniac and not caring about the traffic lights. It was three am in the morning and so, the road was free and less bu
After so many attempts to take the key from her, Khloe finally gave up and handed it over to them. Tay and Kasy left her all alone, still tied down. Her body was covered in blood and all her muscles ached. She tried calling out for help but nobody heard her and soon, she became weak and wary.“Somebody, please help me,” she said, her voice coming out as a whisper. Khloe tried moving her body but the pain was excruciating and she couldn't move a muscle. Suddenly, she began losing consciousness. She had lost a lot of blood and she felt so dizzy. Her vision, so blurry as she laid in her own pool of blood.“Is this how I'll die? I don't even get to see my sister, not to talk of falling in love again,” she said, coughing out blood.Then slowly, her vision shut down slowly as her heart beat also deteriorated. Before her eyes could finish closing, she heard a screeching sound of a car. “Is someone there? Are they here to finish their job? I wish they would let me be,” she thought and praye
Khloe was still on bed rest for like a week now and Ryder was in search of Sylvester though it was as if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Lucas tried contacting his parents but their numbers weren't going through. “I just can't believe he'll do such a thing to me,” Lucas lamented back in their mansion.“We wouldn't know that his son could be capable of doing something like that. Don't push yourself too hard because it's not your fault at all,” Emily consoled him. They were both resting on the bed at night and were getting ready to sleep.“I know someone with ill intention would have done this but once I get hold of that person, I promise to send him or her right to jail,” Lucas clenched his fist. Emily covered his fist with her hands as she said, “We will find the culprit. Don't stress about it. Just go to bed, okay?” she assured and he nodded. “I have been so worked up ever since the news got to my ears. I wish to sleep,” he said, covering his body with the duvet
Khloe decided to stay behind and work on reviving the late Williams Foster's companies. She employed private investigators who spotted the wrong that was affecting the company's growth. It seems Katrina had been on a quest to take money out of the company which was always deposited to her mother's bank account. Upon revelation of such information, Katrina and her mother, Rose were sent to jail to serve a lifetime sentence. Khloe reestablished everything right from hiring new and skilled staff, getting new furniture for the company and increasing the advertising of all the company's products. This brought joy and happiness to all the Fosters’ companies, thus increased growth of 15% in one month. Ethan on the other hand became messed up as a result of drinking alcohol all day and night. He became useless and couldn't even handle the only company he had so he was sent to a rehabilitation centre. After two months, Lucas decided to travel to Maryland to meet his only daughter because she
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. Call the doctor,” Hannah answered.“Mother, I don't think you're in position to go home no
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
