"Honestly speaking, I don't know if you are the right person to hear this past of mine because I don't quite know you well enough to dig into such an event with you," Mrs Briggs said."I worked for Tracy's Guardian, Mr Edward Parker for over twenty years and never did I ever mention what I'm about to tell you to him. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt," she added.At this point, Uriel was curious now more than ever to know more.What past was she talking about? Uriel asked in his head. Meanwhile, Tracy who claimed she had a phone call to make minutes ago, was behind the door listening to their conversation. "About some twenty years ago, I was married to a certain gentleman called Francis Briggs. He was a police officer who worked in the Purple City police force. He was my heartbeat. I loved him dearly and he also loved me," she started to narrate her past."Francis was on duty one day when there was an alert of a robbery incident at the Purple City bank. It was a heist tha

[Dear Uriel,It is with the utmost delight that I pen you this letter. I know we are no longer in the ancient days, but this was the only means I could resort to as I'm not quite savvy with all these modern technologies.But the point of this letter is to let you know that the few days you spent at our side were worth every second.And If it were up to me, you'd be sick all the time so I take care of you.You were such a delight to get acquainted with.And you recuperated so fast. I've not seen someone get back on his feet as quickly as you.The truth is, I will miss your company and all the times you made a joke that got me laughing my ribs off. As you go back to Woodpine, I want you to please take very good care of yourself and don't do whatever you did to contract that Malaria. Although I will still take care of you if you ever get malaria again, I would rather you be safe and avoid getting it at all costs.What am I driving at? You, asked?Well, I just want you to take care of

"Since when did you keep a diary?" Theophilus asked as tears rolled down his face. For all the years he's worked alongside David in the Parker house, he never saw his friend with a diary. He didn't even know David was married with kids till the painful death of his son.David was secretive to an extent, so Theophilus thought. "I have been good friends with you ever since we both started working in this house. Granted, you want to keep certain things from me, but given how we've lived like Brothers over the years, don't you think it's appropriate that you told me you had a wife and children? Must I have found out about all that through the sudden demise of your son? God rest his soul," Theophilus said."You won't understand," David said and walked to Theophilus to sit on the edge of the bed."I won't understand? What is there to understand? That you know this much and have been mute all this while?" Theophilus said, raising the diary, hinting that he was referring to the content of

Another two weeks passed.And life was not any better for David. The hurt he felt from the loss of his son still lingered. So he made a move and went to the BlueVille Sunset Beach.As he got there, the atmosphere was supercharged as people of all ages moved to and fro from one part of the beach to the other.A section of the beach had love birds who were having a good time and making the most of the beautiful breeze from the ocean.Other parts had families who had gone on a picnic. One of the families was a man and his wife and their three daughters. The man played with his daughters on the sand and one of them complained of sea sand in her hair. "Daddy. Daddy. I got sea sand in my hair,"The sound of the little girl's voice made David smile. And for a moment he wished he had had such a moment with his daughter.He felt he had missed out on being a great father to his daughter because of work. And wondered how he could make up for that.Then he turned to another side of the beach an

An hour passed.David sat at an advantageous spot at the restaurant where he would see Leonardo and Fiona when they left the guest house.Where he sat was the only spot the two could use to exit the building so David was hopeful.Already he had changed back into the disguise he had earlier before swapping places with the cleaner.A few minutes later, the two walked out of the guest room to the restaurant area. David borrowed someone's phone and used it to take pictures of the two.After they exited, he followed them to make sure they had left the beach before rushing back to the room the two occupied.He entered the bathroom and on top of a shelf in the bathroom was his phone that he set on record. And where the phone was could hardly be seen so David was hopeful that they wouldn't see it.He then rushed back to the restaurant, got the phone he used to take the photos, transferred them back to his phone and then deleted the images before handing the phone back to the owner.Thirty mi

"My feet hurt and my brain almost feels numb. I am tired, Mrs Briggs. I am just tired," Tracy said and threw herself onto the couch. She had gone job hunting once more and still, there was no luck."Two media houses, Mrs Briggs. Two. Bringing all the media houses I have visited to six in total," Tracy complained.She had kept count of all the media houses she had been to. The latest two she visited together with the previous four made it her sixth attempt without any good news."The more reason you should not fold. Listen, my child, you've been to just six places and that is fine. Others try more than six and eventually find luck," Mrs Briggs said, trying to encourage her not to give up."Who knows, maybe you'd find luck on your seventh attempt or eighth or ninth or even tenth. Look, all I'm saying is don't give up till you have some news to smile and jubilate about," Mrs Briggs added."It can be stressful. Maybe I should just forget about this and live my life. After all, I have eno

The atmosphere was filled with noise and everyone in the neighborhood wondered who would dare to disturb the peace of others in a residential area.Mr and Mrs Parker stood on the balcony, looking straight at their son's new home opposite them where the noise was coming from. Jean walked out of Fiona's house looking angry. Her eyes locked with those of her parents when she looked up."Mum. Dad. It's Fiona again. She is making all this noise," Jean said after she joined her parents on the balcony."She is throwing a party with some friends. And as If the noise is not enough, she is drinking alcohol and smoking in her condition," she added. And sounded worried about Fiona's behaviour in her state as a pregnant woman."Hello, brother Charles. It's very urgent. I can't say much over the phone, so please rush down to your house now. It's your wife. Something is happening. Come now," Jean said over the phone.She called her brother while she stood by her parents."Why do you call your broth

"What happened?" Fiona asked Leonardo immediately, her eyes opened."You fell unconscious at the mall so your husband brought you home," he responded.Holding her head from the slight headache she was having, she slowly lifted herself from the couch on which she lay and asked, "And what are you doing here?" "Why don't you ask your husband? He was the one who called me to come over to help him take you to the hospital," Leonardo said in a whispering voice."And why are you whispering?" She queried and adjusted herself on the couch.She rested her head on the edge of the chair and stretched her legs onto the floor."Well that is because your husband is upstairs," he said, still whispering."Just quit whispering already. We are not plotting some evil scheme for you to be doing that," she warned."But why would he bring me home and call you to come over before taking me to the hospital? That doesn't make any sense. He should have taken me to the hospital first before reaching out to you.

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. "What uncle? Let me spe

"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. "Goo

"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
