Aspen picked up the call and placed the phone in her right ear as she rose up and tried to put herself together.“Hello, Aspen.” His voice came in and she cleared her throat.“Hi, Ace.” Came her nervous reply. She did not want him to know where she was at least not in Harriet’s house.“I was told.” He said and her eyes narrowed.“Told what?” She asked him, as she tiptoed out of the door. She began to wonder how he must have been told. Benny was her brother and they should not be passing information to him, right?It was quite fishy as she thought of it.“That Harriet is dead.” He completed it.Her eyes twitched and she got into the nearest cab she could find. “I was also informed.” She told him.“Where are you?” He asked her.“On my way home. Just dropped by the station and then went to get some steam off, you know.” She said, her lips tightening at the sides and hoping she did not slip anything.“Ohh. I'm at your house. I will wait.” He replied.“Okay.”She disconnected the call and s
Aspen got down from the cab, she was coming back from work. Floyd has been surprisingly coming to work as often as he could and he has been trying to get all the paper works done for the year's final review. Truthfully, she did not like it but this was a matter of her salary so she had to go to work.Concerning the case of Benny, Benny had told her the last time she went to see him never to come again. He had fought with her initially and she had left without looking back. Her kids kept asking her where Benny was but she could not give them a reply.Just as she walked into the apartment, she saw Ace playing with the kids. He has been doing that often too, coming home early to spend time with her kids.It was as if he knew that the key to her heart was her kids but that was not entirely true. She did not know if he was just doing to make her love him.She cleared her throat and the three of them turned to look at her. Cora as usual does not play with him.Ace smiled while the kids rose
The man bit his lower lips as he thought of what next to do. The first target was already taken care of, who is the next?He picked the marker and began to trace the people on the board. Then his hands paused on one picture. It was her turn now.He let out an exasperated breath, he did not know that it would come to this but he has to do it. He stayed on this path since the beginning and now... This was one of the greatest game he was going to play and it was also the most heartbreaking.He ticked the picture and dropped the marker.Let the game begin!********Nicole’s phone beeped with a message and she flinched. These past weeks has been the most tormenting of all. She could say that Floyd not being at home has helped her a lot but it was also unnerving for her because he hardly ever ask about her wellbeing and the baby.Somehow she was glad that he was not always at home and the way he avoided being with her in the same bed helped her.She picked her phone and saw that the number h
~Nicole made her way into the hospital and she did not bother to even talk to anyone. She just went straight to the doctor’s office.“Good day.” She greeted the doctor she met on the seat. Her brows creased in confusion as this was not her doctor.“What of the doctor here?” She asked, looking around the office.The woman seated just stared at her like she was not seeing her. “I was just transferred this morning and as for the doctor, he was fired.” She said and picked her telephone.“Next patient should come in.”She turned to the shocked Nicole. “Please you are not on an appointment with me. I need to attend to other patients, kindly leave.” She told her.Nicole hit the desk and leaned forward. “Sorry, what do you mean by the doctor was fired? I just spoke to him few hours ago and I have an appointment with him.” She said impatiently.“Ma’am, I am deeply sorry but he was fired some hours ago too. Everyone is in total shock as he was the best doctor here but what can we do? We have to
Daisy stared at Richard who seemed really comfortable than she had ever seen him. It has been long time since he talked to her like this. He has been doing a great job at ignoring her.She cleared her throat. “So what is it you want to talk to me about?” She asked him.Richard’s brow twitched. “The thing is that... Daisy. I don't think I can do this again.” He finally let the cat out of the bag.Daisy was quite confused. “What do you mean? What thing are you talking?”“This relationship things between us. Daisy, I can’t anymore. I have tried my best to make it work since the beginning but it is not.” He said, looking at her in the eye.Daisy did not know how to reply. This was the first time he would telling her this with a straight face and he would not care if it affected his father or not.“Richard, we have started this even before your father placed you to head the company over there. You should have fallen in love with me.” She told him, her lips trembling so hard that she had to
She got rid of the shock that was on her face and put on her polite look. She watched as Floyd interacted with him. He began to show him the files he has been working on for the past weeks. She now understood why he was so busy trying to get the records together but wait, why was he showing the records to Mr. Cole. It was not like this company belong to him despite it being Floyd’s secret back up plan.After they were done, Cole began to show Floyd some strategies he had planned during his free time. Floyd was giving him his nod of agreement.She watched them talk and the baffling thoughts filled her head.Wasn’t he suppose to be strict like other father in laws?She wondered, still not getting the entire picture.“Hey, how is your wedding preparation going?” He asked, dropping his tablet. All the emotion wiped off Floyd’s face as he said that but he managed to pull up a tight smile. Aspen pretended not have to heard that. Floyd was getting married soon?“It is going well.” He said an
Floyd stared at the picture of the triplets on his phone. This was the only way he could find his peace. Away from the thoughts of his ‘marriage’ and the way Aspen now had someone she loved. The sound of the rain hitting the roof gave him the warmth he needed to savor the peace.His head inclined to the side as he suddenly felt someone presence. He bit back the snort that was threatening to spill. This was how she has been doing for weeks. Spying on him and all. He did not really care since his mother was still on vacation. It was his father’s death anniversary in three weeks and he knew that she would definitely not want to be around. She always made sure she leaves the house some months prior to the day.“What is it you want, Nicole?” He asked her, not looking at her but ahead of him.She shook her head and entered the office fully. She folded her arms around herself and let out a deep breath. “What is it you are thinking about?” She asked, looking at him in the face.He turned to h
They shared an eye contact for a long time. She was in full shock. What was he doing at her house by this time of the night? How did.... How did he find her house?“Will you keep staring at me like that or open the door for me to come in?” He snapped at her. She flinched slightly and gulped hard as she thought of words to say.“What... What are you looking for here?” The question dropped out of her lips.“Open the door first and you will find out.” He spat, the cold moving through his veins at high speed. She stepped back and allowed him in. He stepped into the house and he looked around for any picture of the kids but he did not see any.Aspen blinked hard. “I asked a question, Floyd.” She said, trying to make her voice stable and praying mentally that her kids don't come out of their room at this hour.“What? For how long were you thinking of hiding it from me?” He asked her.“What… what did you mean by that?” She stammered. Not wanting to think that he had found out at all. It shou

.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
