Alicia Saunders stood before Austin now, in anger."Why didn't you just let us leave?" She retorted. "If we would have left, my son wouldn't be dead. He was the only one I had left." Alicia blurted out."Why do you always take everything away from me? You took my freedom and now you take my only source of joy!" She screamed."What is going on here?" Elizabeth questioned, as she strolled into the sitting room. The guards that would've stopped her form gaining entrance into his home when she blatantly told them that she wanted to see Mr. Ryder whether he wanted to or not, stood far behind them witnessing the whole scene."Nothing Lisa-" Austin tried."Oh there's something. Till how long will you keep hiding it." Alicia yelled at him."You be quiet!" Austin snapped."Who do you think you are to come into my house and yell at my husband?" Elizabeth icily said.The woman walked closer to Elizabeth. Lisa raised a brow at her in question. "You really do not know?" Alicia asked but then said.

"Father?" The voice sent chills to their spine. Ashton walked into the sitting room with Thea trailing behind him. He just couldn't believe his ears, he wasn't sure he heard right.Ashton halted in his steps. "Is it true? You sleep around.""So you believe a common woman. She came here to tell lies about me and you all believe her?" Austin blurted out."Is it true or not?" "Of course it's not! She's only a liar who wants to ruin my family because I couldn't make one with her," Ashton scoffed. "How can you even say such a thing? It wasn't mistake that you have a son with her, you filled her mind with empty promises and now you speak Ill about her?""She was the one fooling around with me and why are you even defending her? She's just one of them, she was just a whore looking for who to please then." Ashton recoiled in shock at his father's words. "Whether she was a whore or not, she carried your child and she deserves your respect!" Ashton blurted out too. "I'll have you know that I

Ashton opened the wardrobe where he usually kept his things, searching earnestly for something. How could he be so careless to have lost it?He combed his hair in frustration. An hour ago, he found out that her promise necklace still hung around her neck like she never took it off, while his, was somewhere in the house. He shut the wardrobe as quietly as he could so he wouldn't wake her up.He walked out of the room, trying to remember where he was with it last."Master?"The young man turned immediately to the soft voice of his maid."Maria," he said. For a moment there, they stared at each other. Her, trying to figure what he was doing up by this hour of the night. She stared right at his worried face. How was he going to explain to her that he misplaced their matching necklace?"Did I wake you up?""No, no you didn't. I was going to fill up my jug of water...tell me Ashton, what bothers you?" She said to him but he shook his head."It's nothing, get some sleep.""Are you in search

"I do," Thea said, her voice echoing the silent hall. Freya held her lips in excitement. 'Now, you have been called to love one another. With the power invested in me by the church and the word of God, I declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.' His hand went round her waist instantly bringing her close to him. He closed the gap between them without wasting any time, sealing their lips together in a deep kiss. Absent minded to the never ending cheering of the crowd, they sealed their newly founded bond. When he finally let go, they were taking deep breaths, paying for the lost ones."Hey," he said. She smiled back immediately, muttering something similar to a 'hi'.---Clinging unto his arms, she smiled at the guests that greeted hem warmly.

(Australia, 5:30pm)Thea walked into the house after the little scene she just had at work. Bolting the door from behind, she threw the keys on a table, in the middle of the sitting room and walked down to her room.She didn't think of coming home after what happened today. She wondered what her mother would think of her when she found out that the only job they relied on for survival was gone. "Thea? Is that you?" She hummed in reply, hugging her mom from behind."I'm home Mom," Thea said. "I hope you aren't stressing yourself out.""I am not, there's not much to do, but you're early," her mother stated. The silence was enough proof that all wasn't well.Jane turned to her gently, then palmed her face. "You've been crying," Jane stated once more, cleaning her tears with her fingers as her tender fingers could."I understand." The woman nodded her head in understanding, tears gathering shamelessly in her eyes. "Don't kill yourself over it Thea, you'll get another one."Thea shook her

(Australia, 11pm)Stirring, Thea held up the beautiful silver necklace that was her favorite. What she never chose to sell even though it was very expensive.The shape of the moon adorned with diamond stared back at her."You are the moon and I am the sun, do you remember?" Ash said. She was his moon. Was! She was pretty sure he hated her now. He was disgusted with her. She was sure that he wanted nothing to do with her now after that day. But everything was her fault.Everything happened so much like a nightmare. If she had accepted that the child was his, then he would know that she went as far as working at a club to raise money for her mother's drugs. But she didn't want to take the risk.Constantly, her mother reminded her that she didn't make the best decision that evening. She should have told Ashton the truth. But she was so concerned about what people thought about her. That she was only in a relationship with him because of his money.She did infact say to the family that t

"Good morning Mr Maxfield," She fumbled with her fingers nervously."Well, good morning to you, Miss Kennedy. How was your night?" He asked and she forced a smile."It was fine,""You sure don't look fine. Didn't sleep well?""I didn't sleep at all," he raised a brow at her. "But I'm sure you shouldn't bother yourself about it, I'm used to it.""Not at all. I am concerned about all of my employees because I am a kind man. So, tell me Miss Kennedy, what bothers you so much?" He asked."Well, my mom is very ill and I spent all night looking after her," Thea said."That's very nice of you, you must have been through a lot in one night. You sure you don't need some time before you begin?""No, no, no, I can take care of myself." He nodded in agreement."Hope you know your duties as a secretary, Thea, but if you need any help understanding what you must do, ask Fiona over there. She's been here for quite a while or you can come to me if you like." He told her and she chuckled nervously.De

"No!!" Andrew's voice echoed in the building that Thea actually sat up in alert.The timer that was facing her began it's count.

Her muffled voice screamed out for Andrew but it couldn't get anywhere.Her eyes locked on the timer again as it click 9 mins."Help... anybody!" Her muffled voice wanted to scream but everything looked like she wasn't saying anything. Her body full of sweat and her heart pumping with so much intensity. Panic sets it when she finally drew a conclusion.She was gonna die!"Ashton! Andrew! Anybody...let me out of here!" At least that was what she tried to say.---Ashton gripped the hand of the nurse that had been treating him for the past 5mins now. He had found the strength to say something at least."Thea, I have to get to Thea," he lifted himself to a sitting position."Mr. Ryder sir, we are on the way to see her, you are unwell-" Ashton pulled the drip out of his hands.

Jace hid in the shadows watching carefully as Andrew crossed the threshold of the building. Retreating further into the night, he waited carefully as Andrew climbed the stairs leading to where was.The only visible belonging was his boot as he hid in a corner, waiting.Just as Andrew crossed him, he raised the metal in alert waiting for the right moment. He stepped out of the shadows immediately Andrew was in his line of sight. Before the man could turn, Jace raised the metal and hit it against his back sending him to the floor completely."Andrew Ryder, if I'm not mistaken. You've made a big mistake coming here." Jace said to him and Andrew struggled to lift himself off the ground instead.---"What happened to Thea?"

Thea stirred in her sleep, but she was restricted in her movements. She winced in pain as her vision now became clear after being blurry and weak."Hmm, you're awake." That deep voice made her pause. She turned in alert to the source of the voice. She sat up, dragging herself backwards till her back connected with the wall."Jace," she whispered to herself and the hair at the back of her head stood."Hello to you too, Thea." Jace said.Thea's eyes widened when she was connected to. "Jace, Jace please..." she now reeked of sweat and her fingers trembled in fear. Her trembling lips tried to go the words, "bomb."Layers and layers of fuel were connected to her chained wrist."Jace, please let me go. I didn't do anything to you. I...." Her voice broke. He did nothing but stare at her trembling form."Do you like my present? I knew it would surprise you when you woke up.""Jace, a bomb? Where did you....You have a bomb?""I have my ways Miss Kennedy, it wasn't for you at first but recently

Ashton barged into ward in hurry, swiftly followed by Thea."Sam?" Thea called with concern laced in her tone. Samuel sat up with his back against the wall."Samuel you are alright?" Ashton said sitting besides him. "Thank God you didn't die,""I am, I just got hit mildly. Just a sprain on the ankle." Samuel said."You got hit!" Thea stressed out."I was heading over to my car when this car came from nowhere. Thankfully, I was able to get out of the way in time." Samuel said."Samuel did you see the plate of the car?"Samuel looked at Ashton for some seconds before saying. "That isn't important,""How can you say that it isn't important-""Jace is in town!" Samuel blurted out and Ashton frowned."What?!" Ashton was forced to blurt."Jace Lockhart is in town, we got a report, he was at the market place today. I wanted to get to you so you and Thea could leave the city before nightfall." Samuel said to him."You are avoiding the topic still, you know who hit you, tell me!""Ashton, when

Tap!Ashton looked up from the file he was holding to stare at the lady walking around his work space. A mini-library to be precise."Which one will I pick?" She muttered to herself. His attention went back to the documents in his hand. His own moved, as if signing something then he let it down in the table again."I think this one is better-"He cleared his throat intruding in the conversation she was having with herself. "You won't find anything interesting in there, I am not a fan of romance novels.""Oh my, as if I didn't know." She picked a random book from the shelve and sat before him crossing her legs."You want to read in here?" He asked her in surprise."Can't i? Is something here that I'm not supposed to see? Do you do something in private that-""Just stop,""But,""You can read in here if you want, I was only asking." He cleared his throat before getting occupied again."Do you think I should get my hands manicured?" She said after a while."Since when do you even do thos
