Hi, guys. Sorry for not publishing the author's note as said but I just wanted to let you know that the part one of the novel had ended and we are heading to second part which will not only be adventurous but also twisted as many secrets will be revealed.

Snippet: He caught one by the sleeve as he landed a punch on his cheekbone. "Who sent you?" He asked him. Their eyes darted across each other and refused to answer him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to punch another one, something heavy landed on the head and he fell down instantly. The blurry vision of a man standing with a smirk and handling what seemed like money to the guys he had run after was all he saw before he succumbed to
PART TWO: THE BEGINNING OF THE END.INTRO. Previously On Part One.He caught one by the sleeve as he landed a punch on his cheekbone."Who sent you?" He asked him. Their eyes darted across to each other and they refused to answer him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to punch another one, something heavy landed on his head and he fell down instantly, gripping the place tight. The blurry vision of a man standing with a smirk on his face and handling what seemed like money to the guys he had run after was all he saw before he succumbed to the darkness.***"How could you be so careless to let Nicole Lockhart dress tear like that?" The older woman snapped at him and his eyes hardened in anger. He knew this was going to happen. He just did not know that it was as soon as they arrived from the party. He also knew that they would notice the trick he pulled. That was how they were. Always judging and watching his every move. Making him to be their son, not his parents. The muscle in hi
57 Richard stood before his father, his eyes were trained on him. He had not spoken to his father since he came back from the party because he needed some time to himself and thankfully Daisy had not disturbed him with calls which reminded him that he has to speak to her concerning her behavior she had exhibited at the party by bringing older women who would do anything to cheat on their husbands to him. Not like his father had come to meet him, in fact he was not at home when he came back that night and it was until the next day midnight that hr had arrived home and was surprised to see his awake and watching some documentary as he ate some miscellaneous. "How was the party?" He asked, sipping his hot coffee. Richard lifted his shoulders in a half shrug and moved forward."It went just how a party should go." He replied with a note of nonchalance. His father glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and faced front."Did you meet the people I told you about?" He asked him again.L
The door bell rang twice before Nicole rose to her feet to answer it. Just as she opened it, she came face to face with a delivery man who craned his neck to look into the house. "Is this Miss Nicole's house?" He asked. Nicole's brows rose up as she gave him a skeptical gaze."Yes?""Oh, good. This package is for you. The sender deemed himself anonymous." He said and handed the package to her which she reluctantly collected from him."I will need you to sign these papers." He handed the file and a pen to her and she did as told. With one last smile, the delivery man got on his bike and was gone.Checking out the package in a wrapped paper, Nicole stepped back into the house and sat down back on the chair, her eyes still looking at the package.What could anyone want to give her? Not even with a name? What if it was a bomb or something worse?She bit her lips and thought of what to do. Maybe she should open it and see what was inside. She reached out for it and began to tear the paper
The car stopped before the apartment. The hot sun was quite scorching.Was this place the said place in the address book? He thought as he looked out through the window of the car.Finding a proper place to park, he turned off the car's engine and stepped out of the car. He dipped his hands into his pockets and made his way to the apartment. Standing before it, he glanced around and knocked on the door. He waited for some seconds and heard a shuffling coming from inside. He braced himself up to meet Aspen. The door knob twisted and it was pushed open. He raised his face up only to meet Sheba who he once saw when he was at LA. She smiled almost immediately as if recognizing him on instance."Is Aspen in?" He asked, knowing fully well that it was weekend and it was a probability that she could be at home. Sheba gave him a positive nod and stepped back to pave a way for him to enter."Have your seat." She said as he entered the house. Richard looked around the living room, it looked quit
Floyd stared at the dining table, he was just coming back from a meeting which he left to Aspen to round up. Nicole had surprisingly been a faithful and less nagging fiancee these days that Floyd always thought she had been delivered from whatever demonic spirit was battling with her. She had started taking her culinary class seriously, even now she tried to prepare meals for the both of them including his mother. She placed the last dish on the table with a grin as she turned to him."Mother once told me that a way to a man's heart is food." She said. Floyd tilted his head to the side to access her, he pursed his lips and moved towards her. She had a particular glint in her eyes that Floyd could not pin point what it was. He sat down and watched how she dutifully served him. He bit his lips, contemplating whether to eat it because he did not know how it would taste, spicy? Tasty? Salty?He could say he was quite scared. He reluctantly picked his spoon and dug into the food she made.
Weeks later, the relationship between Ace and Aspen had grown quite well. Ace will come over to play with the kids even though Cora always hide from him. And sometimes, Aspen would meet him and they will talk about most of their experience with Aspen saying little of hers even when he tried to pry for more out of her. She would always evade it with a smile as she still felt insecure.And tonight was one of those nights where she would take a walk with him back to his house. Ace suddenly stopped and she did too. He looked her in the eye and scratched the back of his neck."I know this might sound weird but I have been thinking about it for a while. I..." He hesitated, swallowing hard. "I will love to date you. Like just give us the chance." He finally said. Aspen was quite shocked at what Ace said. She did not know how to reply, she just stood there surprised that he would ask her such. Like it never occurred to her that he would her ask such thing. He never showed that kind of interes
Nicole was quite scared as she stayed over at Floyd's house. She did not know what to do. Even Floyd's mother had gone to bed with worry. And yet Floyd still did not open the door or answer her calls.He had just slept off, forgetting everything and woke up the next morning. He did his casual things before exiting the room, praying to God that he does not meet his mother but it seemed he prayed too late as he saw Nicole placing some tray of food down on the table. She seemed to notice him and looked at him head to toe, he had a suitcase in his hands which meant one thing, that he was headed to the company. "What are you doing here?" He asked her, his eyes staring at her with spite. Nicole swallowed softly and smiled."Mother called me last night, saying something bad had happened to you and I rushed over but ..." She trailed off as she finally noticed his bursted lips and the bruise on the left part of his eye. He raised his right brow and she moved closer to him."What happened? Did

.A Week Later.Aspen and Floyd with the kids stood before her mother’s grave as tears ran down her face. That was what she has been doing for the past week. Crying, thinking, and inability to sleep.She hardly ate even though Floyd tried his best. Benny has been buried just in the place he wanted., beside his parents.Floyd rubbed her shoulders as she laid her head on his chest. She pulled away and laid the flowers she had gotten down before her mother’s grave.Glory Lockhart.She rose back and was about to turn to leave when she came face-to-face with Cole. More tears rolled down her eyes as she lost control and ran towards him.“Dad!” She cried.He blinked back the tears and held her tight. He has also been searching for her ever since Anita claimed that she sent her to the orphanage. When he met her, he had a connection with her and he resumed searching for her again. That was when he was told that she was his daughter.“Becca.” He called her actual name.“Dad!” She sniffled and pu
Floyd went towards her and read the note with her. Anita? Nicole’s mother. What has she got to do with all of these?Aspen squeezed the note in her hand as anger surged through her veins. Anita has gone too far.How dare she lay her filthy hands on her kids? She was definitely going to regret it.It was also written in the letter that she should come alone with Floyd without the cops. The address was dropped.“Anita! That bitch.” She gritted out.She turned around and handed the paper over to Floyd who collected it from her. “The kids are with Anita. We need to meet her. Might as well settle an old score with her.” She said, her eyes looking ahead.“How did they get to her?” He asked, completely confused.Aspen looked him in the eye. “It is a long story. I will tell you after everything is over.” She said.He nodded and they both stepped out and got into the car. He picked up his phone and made a call to his friend who was a cop. As he drove on the road, they discussed the plan on how
Nicole has been trying to get to her father but it seemed like he had blocked her. And she could not go back into that house because her mother was starting to suspect her.She hid here at her father’s villa and tried to reach him but she knew her mother would catch up with her soon. It could be her mother’s hand works too.She was beyond frustrated and helpless. She wanted to stop her mother and could not.Her father - she should stop calling him her father. Not like he was anywhere.Just as she was about to try it again, the door creaked open and she could hear the clicking of heels against the tiles floor.Her mother was here.Sweats dropped down her forehead as she rose up to check for her. “Mother?” She called out.Anita appeared right before her. Nicole trailed her gaze from her feet to her face, slightly glancing at her right hand where she held a gun.“M-Mom, w-what are you d-doing with a gun?” She stuttered, stepping back slightly.Anita’s lips which were painted with a deep
Anna was busy playing with the kids when her phone rang. She had picked it and Daisy’s voice came through. “Did you see the message I sent to you?” her voice had an edge of mischief to it.“What message is that?” Anna asked, not wanting to entertain her.Daisy pulled up a smirk. “Oh! You have not checked it. No wonder you seem so calm. A piece of advice... Check it.” With that, she disconnected the call.Anna hurriedly looked through her messages box and there, she found what Daisy had sent her. Her eyes went wide as she saw the image. It was her mother. She was taped from her mouth to her legs.What the hell was Daisy doing?She rushed out of the apartment, not even caring to look at the kids. She got into the nearest stop and signaled at a cab that stopped right in front of her. She showed him the address and sat back, different thoughts circulating her entire mind. She was so restless that she would sometimes get lost in her thoughts.If that fucker does anything to her mother, sh
Two weeks later, Aspen has been recovering as hard as she could. She was still yet to tell anyone about getting back her memory.She was never Floyd’s sister. All of these have been Nicole’s mother's plot from the very beginning.She did not want to tell Floyd because he knew how he would be crazy. She wanted to confront the lady by herself. No wonder everything in that house felt so familiar. No wonder she felt a strong connection to Glory the day she had seen the picture.Anna and Richard had told her about Sheba working for Ace and she was quite shocked. She was in total shock because she trusted her with her kids’ life but what could she do?She was even told that Ace no longer lived there. It was good for him. “How do you feel?” Floyd asked, rubbing her palms. She smiled softly.“Better.” She replied.He smiled at her. She stared at his face, his stubble was not visible. He looked like he has not had a good night's sleep in a long time.“How about you go home to take some rest a
Her mother and the driver were having sex before her. The way he slammed into her made her shake her head to see if she was imagining things. There was no way her mother would cheat on him. They soon finished and she made sure to hide properly.“How was it?” That was her mother’s voice.“I did it. It was a success. She flew out of the car like a piece of paper in the wind.” He laughed.Who were they talking about?“So what is the next stage to plan?” He asked her.“Kill Cole. I will pressurize him to put everything in our daughter, Nicole’s name and I will poison him with an incense I had gotten.” She informed him.Nicole did not know if she was hearing correctly. She was not Cole’s daughter? She was the driver’s daughter. No wonder he stayed away from her and sometimes stared at her with an emotion she could not understand but now everything was clearer.She hurriedly tiptoed her way out of the house, making sure no one noticed she came. She ran towards her father’s villa. Her mother
Floyd was busy playing with the kid even though his mind was on Aspen.She was yet to be back.Floyd’s phone rang and he jerked up. He was expecting it to be Aspen but he picked it, and a different person’s voice came on. “Hi, am I speaking to Floyd Wolfe?” “Yes.” He replied.“I found your contact as one of the emergency contacts on this person’s phone.” He said again.“Who am I speaking with?” He asked.“Your wife has been admitted into the hospital. I will send you the address now. Your presence is needed.” The person said and hung up.Aspen was in the hospital? How did she get there? How?His phone beeped with a message and it was the address as the person said. He turned to the kids and then to Sheba who seemed scared. “Take care of the kids. I need to get to someplace.” He told her.He did not even peck the kids as he stomped out of the house. He did not care that it was raining. He ran towards the street stop to get a cab. He finally got one and he passed the address to him. Hi
Å for ACE!Aspen sniffed in and turned to Floyd. “Please can you give me your car key?” She asked.Floyd nodded and handed the key over to her. She stomped out of the house with Floyd yelling after her.“Aspen, you can’t drive in this state. Let me take you there.” He told her but she turned to him.“No, stay with the kids. They would be back soon and as for me, I will be back.” She said and entered the car before driving off. She checked the address on Benny’s letter, he had written it there. She located it and soon reached there.As she stepped out, what came into view was not something she had ever expected Ace to own. It was totally different from what he looked like. She remembered vividly when he had said that he wished his company looked like Benny’s clothing line but this... This was definitely more than Benny’s own.She slammed the door shut and clutched the papers in her hands. She began to March towards the entrance. As soon as she entered, the receptionist’s signature voi
