"Errm, Tracy, what is that?" Louisa asked after a moment of awkward silence.

Tracy stood in front of Louisa, June and Mrs Briggs. She had a document whose content was not immediately obvious.

"W-e-l-l," Tracy hesitated before moving to the side of the other ladies to engage them.

She dropped the document onto the coffee table next to the couch and pointed at it saying, "This right here is the jumpstart I need for this new version of me. It is what I believe would not only take my life on a whole new different level but probably be the start of my healing process,"

"And what are you talking about? What's in it and what healing are you talking about?" Louisa queried.

"Mrs Briggs," Tracy called out. "Yes darling," Mrs Briggs responded.

"Do you remember some time back you mentioned and suggested I made the most of my communication studies degree I acquired from school?" She asked.

"I do my daughter. What about it ?" Mrs Briggs responded and also asked her a question.

    "I never knew Louisa could be this weird. I'm utterly surprised at her behaviour," Tracy told June. The two stood in front of a lady's slippers shop.The previous day, Tracy had gone to the boutique together with June and Louisa to grab a few clothes. Louisa put up with strange behaviour after a gentleman requested June call her for him. She thought the man had disrespected her as a lady and was angry that Tracy and June bought into the gesture of June calling her for the stranger.Louisa had left the two alone to shop while she went back home in anger. As a result, she failed to show up for them to go buy some slippers together."I honestly didn't see anything wrong with you calling her for that gentleman," Tracy said."Indeed. I don't know why she was all worked up. I feel she missed out on a chance to get a soul mate," June said."I wish I was the one he made advances at, I would have jumped at him without thinking twice. And then my sister would not have a reason to throw shade

    Seven days passed.Cynthia was back on her feet and doing very well.But Jean, a staunch supporter of Fiona, was still shocked that Fiona could attack her mother."Here you go mother," Jean said and handed her a glass of water and tablets of painkillers.Cynthia's head was bandaged from one end of her head to the other.Jean sat next to her in the living room to keep her company. But the deeds of Fiona were still haunting her."That Fiona did this to you still boggles my mind," Jean said watching as her mother put the glass of water on the coffee table next to her seat after taking the medicine."My daughter, it's been seven days already and as you can see, I'm doing well," Cynthia said. "Besides, it was just an accident," she threw a defense for Fiona."Was it?" Jean asked, hinting that she doubted the incident was an accident. "Yes, Jean. She was just carried away and as a result, wounded me unintentionally," Cynthia said."You know, this is beginning to freak me out. Why do you d

    "Jean. Jean. Jean," Fiona mentioned her sister-in-law's name but she wouldn't mind her.Fiona had dared to enter the Parker house despite moving out days ago.The thought of Jean knowing about what transpired between her and Leonardo gave her a sleepless night.And right after Charles left for the office, she took advantage of the opportunity to go see Jean.She had stalked Jean right from her bedroom, through the hallway, but Jean would not mind her. June, who was coming back from the gym, saw the two and wondered why her sister was giving her supposed good friend an attitude.The incessant call of her name got her mad and she stopped along the hallway and asked, "What is it? What do you want from me?"June stood in front of her door in the hopes of hearing what they spoke about, but the two were beyond earshot."I need to talk to you," Fiona said and rubbed her belly."About what exactly? What do you have to say to me?" Jean asked in an angry tone."And quit rubbing your belly beca

    The 'Food Hub' restaurant at the Purple City Mall was busy and buzzing.The atmosphere was filled with the clinking sounds of glasses and cutlery as the waiters moved from one table to the other attending to customers.And the already inviting atmosphere was mixed with a sizzling aroma from food making it impossible for one to not want to have a bite.Jean, Fiona and Leonardo were seated around one table that was close to the exit door of the restaurant."I want French fries and chicken," Jean said after going through the order menu."And I also want the same thing she ordered," Fiona told the waitress. Hinting that she wanted the same thing Jean ordered."And what will you have sir?" The waitress asked Leonardo. "He will have nothing," Jean cut in before he could respond.As the waitress walked away to go get their orders ready, Jean said, "You two are so unbelievable. So you have the nerve to order food after what you two have done? I wonder why I accepted your invitation to come h

    "Listen, Leonardo, now that Jean has been calmed, I think we should do something about David now," Fiona said over the phone."Are you out of your mind?" Leonardo asked over the phone."Our asses are currently on fire and you want to do what?" He added."Stop being a chicken. If you are talking about Jean then be rest assured that she will not say a word to my husband," Fiona responded.She deduced that Leonardo's line of conversation stemmed from his fear that Jean had not entirely forgiven them.And there was the likelihood of her still going to stab them in the back.But just as Fiona was about to reason with Leonardo to move on to David and deal with him, Charles screamed from behind her."Fiona!" He screamed and Fiona dropped the phone. "What is going on between you and my sister? Why did she slap Leonardo at the Food Hub restaurant yesterday?" He asked.The phone call was still active so Leonardo heard his friend's question to his wife. Charles could see from the phone screen

    June walked hastily from upstairs right to the living room area where her parents were seated."June! Can I have a word with you?"Eddy said. " Not now Dad," She responded swiftly."And where are you going in such a hurry?" Cynthia asked. "Can't you spare a minute to hear what your father has to say?" She added."Not a second," she said, hinting that her restless state was stemming from a matter of urgency."June!" Eddy screamed and got his daughter to pause without taking another step."Okay, one minute," June said, indicating that she could spare a minute to hear what her father had to say and then walked back to them.Eddy was amazed because he hadn't seen his daughter like that before. At least not in a state where she allotted a specific time duration to speak to her.But he overlooked it and said, "What is going on between you and your siblings? ""What are you talking about Dad?" She asked."Your sister told me that you were trying to instigate a fight between Charles and his wi

    "Baby, you don't know how excited I am that you decided to stay by my side at home," Fiona said and held her husband from behind and placed her head on his back.Charles was in the kitchen rinsing a glass he had used to drink some juice."Well, after all that drama with June and your stomach cramps, you don't expect me to leave you alone at home," he said and placed the glass on a shelf above the kitchen counter. He turned and kissed his wife."But promise me you will never raise your voice at me again. Never!" She said, referring her husband to when he screamed at her over June's claims."I cross my heart and promise never to raise my voice at you again," he said and kissed her some more.Their tongues locked and the kissing became intense. He put his hand on her butt and rubbed it and then squeezed it hard."Wow, easy Tiger," she pleaded after that hard grab of her backside by her husband. "Keep going sugar. Don't stop," she said in a seductive voice urging her husband to continue

    Two weeks passed and Tracy was a little sober due to the information she got from her lawyer.Her lawyer had advised that she get Mr Parker arrested first, before arraigning him for court and eventually getting him behind bars.Tracy had received assurance from her lawyer that the evidence was enough to win the court case and punish Mr Parker.On a sunny day when the sun was making some people wear extra layers of sunscreen just to prevent the rays of the sun from having direct contact with their skin, Tracy didn't seem to care much.She only had a cap on and in her company were two police officers, Jason and Uriel.Mr Edward Parker was seated on the couch, while Jean sat in another filing her nails."Tracy, what a pleasant surprise," Eddy said the moment he saw Tracy who entered with a laptop in her left armpit and a photo portrait in her right hand."I wish, what brought me here is as pleasant as you claim my visit," Tracy said."Tracy, language," Uriel said.

    "June, is everything okay? For the past two days you have been indoors without saying a word to anyone," Jean said immediately as she entered her sister's room.June sat in one corner of her bedroom, her hair was begging for the feel of a comb. As tears rolled down her soft cheeks."June, will you say something already? Your silence is killing me," Jean said. But her sister would still not utter a word."Anyway, I went to visit Mother yesterday and she asked to see you," she informed her sister.Jean realized her sister would not say anything but cry. So she left her side.Three minutes later, Jean entered with her Dad and said, "Father, June has been like this for hours. She won't say anything to me,"Eddy moved towards June and just as he was about to grab her shoulder, she said, "Don't you dare touch me,""June! What has come over you? Why do you talk to your father like that?" She queried her sister.Eddy's eyes were wide open as waves of shock went down his body. If anyone woul

    "Good day, Tracy," the lawyer greeted and entered Tracy's house. She walked her in and offered her a seat. Tracy dashed off to the kitchen to get some drinks for her lawyer when she heard the doorbell ring. "Don't worry, I got it," Uriel said and walked to the door to check who had knocked."Who is it?" Tracy asked at the top of her voice while she was in the kitchen.But there was no response from her uncle.Tracy walked back into the living room with a Tray supporting an apple juice and a glass.Slowly, she lowered the drink onto the coffee table next to the lawyer while she kept her eyes on the guest who had been walked in by her uncle."Careful with that," Uriel said when he realized his niece almost dropped the Tray on the floor."Right," she responded and shifted her attention to the drink for a second and then back to the guest."It's you! Where have you been and how did you know where I live?" Tracy queried.The guest was none other than Jason."I'm so sorry Lawyer," Tracy a

    "Tracy, what's going on?" June called me saying something that I could not quite understand. "What's the matter?" Louisa asked."Cyril tells me you have not been to the office in days now. Is everything okay?" She asked.Tracy stood on the edge of the couch, with her legs on the seat on the chair as she watched Louisa talk."Tracy, won't you say anything?" She asked after her friend refused to say a word, ""Uncle, you are here. Good day sir," Louisa greeted the second she saw Uriel."Good day, my daughter. How have you been and most importantly, how's your baby girl doing?" He asked."I'm doing well uncle and Tracy is also doing quite well. I would have brought her here but Mrs Briggs advised she's too young to be taken out," she responded."That's fine. I'm sure eventually we would get to see her," he added."Uncle," she called the attention of Uriel. "Yes, my child," he responded swiftly."Why is Tracy like this? Why won't she say anything to me?" She asked.Tracy's phone lying on

    "What the hell are you doing here?" Tracy asked June immediately as she walked in."Errm, what's that supposed to mean? What's going on?" She asked."What is that supposed to mean? This is my house and I don't want you here. So just get out," Tracy screamed. The noise from the living room drew Uriel's attention and he rushed down to the hall."What's going on here?" He asked. "Oh, uncle, you are here," June said."I just got here and Tracy would not let me even sit. She just asked me to leave without provocation," June explained.Uriel got the drift and understood why his niece was asking June to leave. He walked to Tracy and held her by the shoulder and said, "Child, you don't need to vent your anger on her. She has done nothing wrong,""I just don't care uncle," Tracy said and removed her uncle's hand from her shoulder."I don't want her here and that is final," she added and turned away.While she looked away, the doorbell rang and it was Henry."Good day uncle," he greeted.

    "You mean Jason has been sending you anonymous letters? Why didn't you say anything to me?" Uriel asked Tracy."Well, I didn't know who he was until you just disclosed his name. And I didn't think anything serious of the letters till he made some revelations to me," Tracy said.Uriel, who was seated on a chair, got up and walked slowly towards Tracy and asked, "What revelations?" Tracy, feeling broken and hurt, paused for a second to allow the tears to roll down her face."My child, you have barely said anything. Why are you crying? What did Jason say to you?" He asked."Come on darling. I'm your uncle, you can talk to me," he insisted after his niece went mute suddenly."Tracy, would you talk to me? What is the problem?" He asked again after noticing the sobbing of Tracy had intensified.He reached for a tissue on the center table and slowly he started to wipe her tears."Jason told me some things that are still shaking my world," she finally broke her silence hesitantly."He did?

    "Father, it's been days since our mother was taken away and you've not made any effort to go and see her," Jean said immediately as she walked in on her father in the living room."I thought you loved her? So what changed so suddenly that you seem not to care about her again?" She asked.Eddy got up from his chair, looked at the face of his daughter and then paced up and down without saying a word."Father, I thought you were going to say something?" She asked again."And what is there to say? I'd be lying to myself if I told you that I'm even thinking straight," Eddy responded swiftly."First, my sister does the unthinkable and now she is behind bars. Then my wife. Not forgetting the mess at the Parker company as we speak, and you dare ask about your mother?" He asked"Where do I even start from? I've lost everything," he said as water formed in his eyes."You can start anywhere, father. Make some calls, and talk to some of your influential people. I don't know but just do something.

    A week passed.Tracy paced up and down the living room.Her nanny had gone to be with Louisa while June was with her family.Brooks was all alone contemplating whether or not to go and meet the anonymous fellow who had been sending her letters.The previous night, Tracy received yet another letter from this unknown person instructing her to meet up in a secluded environment."Why would this person want to meet me in the woods? As if his identity was not mysterious enough, this fellow wants me to meet up in the forest. Why the forest of all places?" She said out loud since she was the only person at home."What if the person is evil? Or has some devilish motive? Why on earth should a meet-up in the woods be appropriate and not anywhere open here in the city?" Tracy struggled with mind-boggling questions as she kept moving up and down the room."But what If the person is real and has genuine intentions? I guess my mind is playing tricks on me," she said."Well, I can never be too care
