Arthur Cassius noticed the subtle movement from Khloe and got up. Khloe adjusted her body a little.

“Khloe?” He said, his voice coming above a whisper. Khloe battered her lashes, before gently opening it. She noticed a familiar face looking down at her.

“Khloe…” the person's voice called out again then she realised who it was. “Mark?” she wanted to say but her voice was barely audible.

“You're awake,” Arthur said excitedly.

“I'll go call the doctor,” he said, leaving Khloe alone.

“Where am I?” She thought to herself.

“I thought I'd die. But thank God I didn't. My body aches so much,” she said, trying to get up.

“Was that Mark I just saw? Was he the one that saved me? And why did he look so different?” These questions reeled her aching head.

“I should just rest for a bit,” she said, closing her eyes again.

Few minutes later, Arthur came with the doctor and he started checking up on her.

“Are you sure she's still awake. Because if she is, then it's a miracle,” the docto

    “Who sent you?” Ryder asked the tied down Sylvester. His gaze was unwavering and he seemed no to be scared of the situation. “I have told you severally, no one sent me,” Sylvester said confidently looking Ryder dead in the eye. Ryder gave him a tight slap which made him cough out blood. Instead of begging and pleading for his life, Sylvester found the torture amusing and began laughing hysterically. “You think that those tiny hands of yours will make me confess the truth? Well think again big guy,” he said chuckling. “This guy is a lunatic,” one of Ryder's men whispered to him. “For the last time, who are you working for? Why did you kidnap Ms. Ferguson and what were your demands from her?” Ryder asked, his voice more cold and intimidating than before. Sylvester stared dead in his eyes and smirked, “Make me,” and with that Ryder struck him with another ear deafening slap. “Ah, you son of bitch. You broke my jaw,” Sylvester said, spitting out a tooth alongside blood. Ryder squat

    “Let me speak first please,” Sylvester begged for his life, as tears were still dropping from his eyes. The large man grinned as they stopped him from emptying the bucket of water on Sylvester. “What do you have to say? What's the information you have for us?” Arthur sneered, his voice growling. Sylvester was very scared of the look in his eyes and had suffered enough beating to actually care about what they'll do to him next. “I know that they live in Maryland…” he paused, his gaze shifting from Arthur to Kelly. “And?” Kelly asked impatiently. “That's all I know. And I think they're the Fosters but I don't know which one, I swear,” he swore. His eyes longing to be saved and for them to believe him. “Bingo. I was correct,” Kelly remarked. She had come up with the idea and now it's been confirmed. All they have to figure out is which of the Fosters. “Alright we're going to Maryland right now,” Arthur firmly said. “That's way too much of a rush. Someone needs to be here and st

    The morning was quiet peaceful now that everyone was gone. It dawned with a soft golden light, the morning that is. It looked like the world was bathed in tranquil silence, as if nature itself was holding its breath in reverence. Arthur took another deep breath as he stared out the window, filling his lungs with the fresh morning breeze. He was in deep thoughts; about everything that had been going on. “It's been three days since she has been admitted to the hospital and so far we've gotten hold of Sylvester and dealt with him but the real culprit is still out there,” he said to himself as he stared out the window. Arthur was getting anxious and impatient with everything. He wants everything to happen so fast, so he could see Khloe again. That is if she will ever wake up. Suddenly the door burst open and someone rushed in. “Oh, my Khloe,” a male voice said. Arthur turned his back immediately and saw that it was Brandon, although Brandon didn't recognize him. “Who are you?” Br

    Arthur Cassius slumped in a chair adjacent to Khloe's bed, his phone in his hands as he stared blankly at the screen, with his mind numb from the event that has happened for the past few days. The hospital was quiet except for the steady beeping of Khloe's heart monitor and occasional rustle of Kelly's clothing due to movement. Bradon had left hours after the doctor left and he said he'll be back soon, but it has been two days ever since. A buzz sound distracted him from his thoughts and he stared at his phone. “I have gotten something. But not what you might expect,” the message reads. Two days ago, he had contacted Sam to help him with an investigation on the Foster, even if Kelly had dejected the idea. Arthur secretly went on with it. Kelly on the other hand, hasn't gone home for a week so she didn't know what was happening back there. And she cared less of it. Her worries were fixed on Khloe's recovery. “Uh… I have to go, Kelly. I'll be back by midnight,” Arthur said to Kell

    The phone was still in her hands as her jaw was still open. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “How can he do this? All because Khloe is sick,” Kelly remarked. “This is totally unacceptable.” Just as she was surprised, the doctor opened the door and walked in. “Ma’am we're performing the surgery today. Although further diagnosis has been made and there's a forty percent chance of her waking up,” he informed her, with a sad look on his face. “We'll start at eight p.m.” Kelly's heart sank in but she masked her fears and worries with confidence and a smile. “Oh okay. What else do you need? Any prep?” She asked, putting her phone away. Khloe was more important than anything about the company right now. “I'll have the nurses do that. Just you wait outside for everything,” the Doctor informed me about heading out. Kelly was still dumbfounded about the news she had just received. “How can father be so dumb? I am sure Emily forced him to do it. But how can he be so stupid?”

    Mara Elliot rushed out of the hospital immediately after she had carried out her job. “Shit, shit…” she cursed under her breath as she ran with the chemicals and syringe hidden under her skirt.. “That was a success,” she muttered as she kept running, smiling to herself. “Mom is going to be so proud of me. But I can't help but feel bad for Kelly.” Hours ago, after she had flirted with the hot doctor she met. She saw doctor Mike, who was supposed to operate on Khloe, walking into the ward with an assistant. * “I guess the surgery is about to happen,” she thought internally. She was still with the hot blonde doctor when she thought of a way to leave and go for her mission. “Can you excuse me? I need to use the restroom,” she said in a sweet voice “Again? Okay. We'll talk next time. I'm going home anyway, my shift is over,” the hot blonde said. Mara smiled to herself then went after doctor Mike. She followed him and saw him enter the ward while Kelly came outside. Mara hid her

    Arthur Cassius continued with the assault on doctor Mike, and the nurse had to run to get help. Arthur's eyes filled with fury as he glared at the doctor. “You're responsible for this,” he accused, his voice low and menacing. “You and your incompetence. Doctor Mike took a step back, staggering and falling to the floor. “Please understand Mr. Cassius,” doctor Mike pleaded but Arthur didn't bulge. His anger was unrelenting. He stood above the doctor who's shirt was now covered in blood. Arthur's impact made his nose break and mouth bursted. Arthur stood over him, his fists clenched and his face red with rage. “Tell me what you did to them or you'll pay,” he snarled, his voice dripping with venom. “And you'll regret the day you ever crossed paths with me.” Doctor Mike sat cowardly on the floor, his hands raised in a futile attempt to defend himself. "Please, Mr. Cassius, listen to me...it wasn't my fault...I swear it..." he said, wiping the sweat that covered his face. But

    Arthur Cassius tightened his grip on her wrist, the wrist made a cracking sounds but he ignored it and added pressure on it.“You're hurting me,” Stella whined.“Let me go, will you?”Arthur's eyes darkened as he glared furiously at her.“Give me my keys and I'll let you be,” he snarled. But Stella was still adamant.“Leave me alone first,” she requested. This enraged Arthur and he twisted her wrist even more. She cried and let the key go before Arthur released her. “Don't mess with me again,” he warned, turning to leave but she said. “You're a psycho. Too bad I couldn't have my way with you. I bet that was why she left you,” Stella snickered, straightening her wrists. Arthur ignored her nonsensical comment and opened his car however he paused on his tracks when she said.“Khloe thought you were too hard for…” before she could finish her sentence, Arthur turned abruptly to her, grabbed her by the neck and hit her back at the vehicle behind her.“Are you trying to choke me?

    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.

    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.
