A new year had arrived and after all the hustle and bustle, some people got lucky even after spending quality time with their families and loved ones during the Christmas season.

Purple Islands, one of the popular destinations for vacation and relaxation in Purple City had given Tracy some slots for an all-expenses-paid vacation.

One could say her popularity was paying off.

And she wasted no time in grabbing the golden opportunity.

"I don't care what you say Mrs Briggs, but you are coming with us," Tracy had said to her wonderful nanny and cook who had wanted to stay at home and let the young ladies go and have a good time.

"I'm loving the view already," Mrs Briggs said, as she stood in one of the rooms of the twenty-five-storey building admiring the sea view.

"I knew you would love it here. I'm glad I didn't let you stay behind," Tracy said and moved to stand by her to also marvel at the beauty before them.

"Staying at home all the time is not ideal. Once in a while, you need to ste

    Purple Island was charged up. The luxurious vacation destination which was mostly frequented by the rich and famous had a few average people who could afford its high rates in the mix.Along the coastline were a few tents mounted by some of the patrons who were having a good time.After Cyril blew Tracy's cover, everyone recognized her and everywhere she turned people wanted a picture with her."I watch your show every time and I must say you're doing a great job. I caught my husband of fourteen years cheating on me with another woman and when I complained he had the guts to beat me and told me he needed to try something new," a fan said after she stopped Trcay along the beach."And just like the advice you gave in your last episode, I left his house and reported him to the authorities. He's behind bars as we speak awaiting trial," she added, by referring to an episode of Tracy's show."I'm glad my show could help you save yourself. I do all that for people like you. So once again, t

    "Tracy! Oh there you are," Louisa said after spotting her friend standing on the balcony of her room."Where have you been? I came here earlier but you were nowhere to be found," she revealed.All the while, Tracy kept her eyes on the rising and falling ocean tides and said nothing."Tracy! Is everything okay?" Louisa queried after noticing the quietness of her friend.Having kept mute for a while, she finally said, "He is here,""He is here? Who is he?" Louisa asked."Who is who?" June, who had entered the room and overheard their conversation, asked and walked towards them on the balcony."Earlier, I stepped out to get some fresh air while you ladies were still getting some rest. That was why you didn't see me when you came here," Tracy mumbled."But I could not get enough air as I was forced to rush back in here," she added."Forced? How do you mean?" June asked."Well, I bumped into David earlier," Tracy said."David? You mean our chauffeur?" June asked."Of course. Which other Da

    "This is so unbelievable. That brother of mine does not know when to stop. Why would he ask for a picture with Tracy? What's his game plan?" June asked.They were all back in Tracy's room."He is your brother. You should ask him," Louisa said."Listen up ladies, don't get too hard on yourselves. Tracy is not the Tracy we used to know. I'm sure we have the chance to get this close to her because of the bond we have with her, either than that, we all would probably be in the trenches while admiring her from afar," Mrs Briggs said."From the way people are screaming to take pictures with Tracy, we should all understand that she is not a regular person. There is some premium that rests on her and thus why Charles would dare to ask for a pic. Who knows? Maybe he is also a fan," Mrs Briggs added."I don't want him as a fan," Tracy who was looking furious and seated on the bed said."Sadly, honey, inasmuch as you may have control over certain things, this one does not look like one of those.

    "Charles, so this is why you didn't want me to go on that vacation with you?" Fiona asked after storming into the living room."What are you talking about?" He asked."I'm talking about this," she said and smashed a newspaper with the headline,' Is Charles Parker and His Ex-Wife Rekindling Old Flames?' Onto the center table.As soon as Charles' eyes fell on the headline, he asked, "Where did you get this?" "Does it matter where I got it from? Instead, you should tell me what you were doing with that cheap harlot," she fumed, pointing to the image on the newspaper front page that showed Charles and Tracy in a rather close shot photo."Watch your tongue, Fiona, How dare you call her names?" Charles said, throwing up a defense for Tracy."Oh, so you now defend her huh? Why don't you also just tell me that you slept with her while on that stupid vacation of yours?" Fiona swiftly countered her husband."Well, I don't give a damn what you think. I only refunded for you to come along becaus

    "So, what brings you here?" Chris asked, seated on the edge of his living room couch."Are you at least going to ask me to come in or something?" Charles asked, standing right in front of the main entrance door to the living room from outside."Why are you making things awkward? You're welcome here and you always have. You decided to stay away from us, so I don't get why you would want to be asked to come in before you do," Chris said.Albert, who had gone to get the tea, returned with three cups of tea and an extra bread and egg for Charles.He placed them on the table and said, "We were about to have breakfast before you knocked. There you go," he added and pushed a cup of tea and bread towards the direction of Charles."Look, that can wait. I'm sorry for everything," he said, trying to apologize to his friends."I know I took things a little personal and overreacted, but I'm sorry," he added in a low tone. Then moved to the couch and sat down.Albert on the other hand was already e

    "Tracy, what's going on?" June asked.Tracy was seated on the rooftop of her new house in Purple City, taking shade under a tent while she looked through the city. And intermittently gazed at her phone that was beside her."And why have you come to sit here all by yourself?" June asked."Well, I just felt like coming out here," she responded."But why? Besides, I had to rush down from the studio just to come here because I heard you didn't report to work yesterday and today. What's going on?" June asked and sat on a chair next to Tracy."Isn't it obvious? Can't you see the harm that your brother wants to cause me?" She queried."Are you talking about the news making the rounds about your supposed reunion? Come on Tracy. I thought you'd know better. Those headlines are just hearsay and you and I know that none of that is true," June said."Your role at Channel 24/7 Live is very paramount. So you should not let petty rumors like these weigh you down. You are in the media too and know ho

    "What in God's name is the meaning of this?" Albert asked after he reentered the living room from the kitchen.Chris stood in front of the main entrance door gazing at Leonardo who was about to enter the living room."Can you explain to us what this is?" Albert said and lifted his phone to the face of Charles and then to the face of Chris."What! What's this supposed to mean?" Chris asked.Albert had chanced on the news of Tracy and Charles' rumoured reunion that had made the headlines."Charles, what is going on here?" Chris asked and pointed to the screen of Albert's phone that showed an image of Tracy and Charles in a close-up photo with the caption 'Purple Island Wonders: Charles Parker Reunites With His Ex-Wife'"Well, that story is mixed up.

    "Good day, sir. You're welcome. How have you been?" Mrs Briggs asked Cyril who had come to the house.Out of excitement, she greeted the visitor first when it should have been the other way around."Good day. I've been well and I trust you are doing great as well," Cyril responded."So, what can I get you? There's wine, champagne, juice and there's even food. I made chicken stew with some rice and there's also some fries with chicken. What would you prefer?" Mrs Briggs asked in an excited tone."I do appreciate the gesture Mum, but I'm okay," Cyril responded politely."Oh, son, you can't come to your mother's house," she paused when she realized she was talking too much."I mean I'm like a mother to Tracy and being a friend of hers means I could consider you my son too. That said, I don't think it's right to come to your mother's house without taking anything," she rephrased her expression."I do agree with you, but in all honesty, I'm okay.

    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
