I fell asleep while devising a plan to enter into Damon's room unnoticed, it will be hard but I know with a lot of tactics and maneuver I think that I can get there, I just need to find the right time, moment and motive..... I can't go in there without having a back up plan incase if I get caught.

I opened my eyes to check what the time was when I notice Xander had been watching me, I don't understand why he loves staring doesn't he know that it is so very wrong to do that.

I yawned and stretched my hands trying to hear a crack from my bones to see if I am strong enough to get up.

"You look beautiful when you sleep" Xander commented after sitting there silently. "I guess our stroll was cut short by my Killjoy brother, it's no fun when he is around..... Do you want to do something else? Much fun this time, I promise" he sounded so confident that I would be amused this time so I decided to give it another go, there was nothing I was doing here and I really want to get my mind off the secret I had discovered and by doing this I might even get him to spill more about Elizabeth.

So I followed him, I waited at his doorstep so he could get something from his room, Xander didn't live in the mansion, he had a house farther off into the deepest part of the land area which wasn't even nearby but we didn't trek to his house, we drove those golf tiny cars used to carry things on a golf course, it's something rich people use..... I don't know the name.

The exterior of his house was beautiful, it didn't look like the glamorous and sophisticated mansion I was already tired of seeing. His was so much simple and really modern, he told me to come in but I chose to stay outside.

When he came out he smiled at me before he locked the door to his house and we drove back in golf thing to the mansion area, I must say Xander was funny and a potential flirt, if I wasn't involved in a pregnancy I would've fallen for him, he was the only one that had made me feel comfortable since my coming here. 

The others like Beatriz was obsessed with the baby and Damon was obsessed with me not having the baby, it was a complete madhouse and I hate to be in it.

Xander personally opened the garage without the help of the others, it made me wonder a lot of things like the fact that why isn't that no one rush to his aid like when it came to Damon. Damon was like a superstar celebrity in here, I mean, I get that he is rich and all but why isn't Xander treated the same way.

I just got to know them and there is still about eight months to know them more.

There were several cars in there, each would be probably worth my ten years total salary that is if you don't add taxes and I work for twenty four hours stretch non stop.

They had so many cars and I can bet they don't even drive each one per day, this is the ignorance I hate, there are so many people who is in need of the money spent on one of those cars...... God blesses the wrong people.

"That's Damon car, that's dad's, mom...... Elizabeth and this is mine, smooth right, come on feel it" Xander introduced, there were other cars too but he didn't mention anything about them. I touched his car to feel it, his was a lot more than the others.

"Yeah, it feels nice" I said smiling.

"Wait till you see the inside" he pressed the button on the remote control for the car and the lights on and doors too.

We both took our seats, with Xander at the driver's seat and me at the other. "Take in that new car smell..... This car is everything, Damon bought it for me as a birthday present but I have not being able to use it, I am sure Damon will get you yours since you are like his surrogate....."

"Really?" I said with shock in my voice.

"Yeah, that was what he was talking about on the phone when we came...... Weren't you listening?" Xander said, was he expecting that I eaves drop on a person conversation and I didn't even know he was there. "Mom must've forced him to get you one like she did with mine, anyways.... We are going to a place..." He didn't exactly mention the place but I was sure enough to trust him.

He helped me with my seat belt after I had issues trying to figure it out, he smiled which made me believe he must be a playboy. 

We we're almost out of the garage when we were both stopped by Damon.... Again. He still had a phone on his ear but he had changed into something casual which made him look different from his initial look of always being on suit.

Dropping his phone in his pocket he walked towards us and told the both of us to get down. "Where are you going with her?" He asked, he is always asking questions.

"To the park" Xander responded looking a little frustrated I too would be if I had a brother who is such a pain in the ass.

"Leave her here and take mom with you to the mall, she wants to do some shopping" Damon said. "You.... Come with me" he said authoritatively.

"Why can't you take mom? You seem dressed for it" Xander pointed out and I very much agree with him.

"Just do as I say and I will send you the money you requested" Damon said bluntly before taking my hands and walking away, it was the first time he held me.

"Where to?" I demanded, I had the right to know where he had in mind to take me.

"Just keep quiet and follow me"

    There was an unavoidable awkward silence between the both of us, the only thing that lighten up the mood was the news from the radio.I put my pinky finger on my lip, I felt tempted to chew on it, what could I do? I was sitting here extremely scared of what this man had in mind to do to me, for all we know he could be plotting something evil within him just to get rid of the baby.My fear didn't stop me from throwing in a few glances at him as he was so focused on the road that I don't think he noticed me staring.We drove around for a long time without him not saying a single word to me. After sometime he stopped the car at a part of the road before he turned to me."We are going to your mom's house, but I don't think I got the directions right" he said to me, his voice was calm and soothing unlike the time he caught me in his room.

I know it was too early for that but Beatriz insisted that we get baby clothes regardless, her reason was because she wanted to feel like a baby was coming into the house.My choice to go with the flow of things by letting her decide was just the only way I could stay neutral with the entire situation, if this is how she wanted to go through with everything then I don't have a say rather I chose to

    There was no movement, none from me or from the people around. The nerve of her to come out and put a blame on me, I was shaken, infact any one would be if put in the situation I was in right now.Damon's face was cold, his expression was the only one I cared most about right now. I was scared of what he might say next, my heart was beating.... so hard you could hear the sound from outside.I looked at the maid who had accused me for something I didn't do but only thought of."I never went to his room, where did you get such idea from?" I decided to defend myself before things get messy, it's bad enough that he dislikes me, I don't want him to hate me any further.For the first time after the long pause we all took, Damon looked at me, his gaze was of a kind that try to read a person's innocence from their behavior.Damon let out a long sigh before he said. "Someone went in my room and took something which is very precious to me." He paused before

    I stared at the half torn picture on the floor. I picked it up and recognized Elizabeth standing next to Damon, there was a hand on her shoulder and it didn't seem like it belonged to Damon but to the person at the right side of which I couldn't recognized.What gave off the gender of the unknown person beside Elizabeth was the rugged look of his hand, the other side that held the person's face was torn out perfectly.It baffles me how every clue I get always end up being torn, who ever is doing this must have a skill for tearing up things.My mind can't be at rest with every dead end I meet each time I am one step close in fixing the puzzle.There was a knock on my door which made me hide the diary and picture under my bed and quickly threw the duvet on myself and pretended like I was asleep.The door to my room opened wide as I couldn't help looking, I closed my eyes shut when I saw Damon walk in, he locked the door behind him before

    What was going wrong with me? Here I was looking at this handsome brute with a strong desire for him to take me on his bed right now. I can't point out this sudden attraction and why? I know that I never saw him in this kind of way before and never thought that I ever will but today was really different.He showed so much care even after getting angry at the dinner table an action that put me off..... All this thought was done while I stared at his lips."If you going to keep staring at my lips at least you should tell me what was so important that you had to say" he said."Ah...." I mumbled as I tried to shake off such lust full thought from my head. "It was nothing" I said without knowing, my eyes widened at my response. "I mean.... It's about your heirloom......""What about it? Have you decided to return it""No!" I said out of annonyance. "I mean, I never took it in the first place" I tried to correct myself while still standing my ground.

    Xander couldn't recover from what he had heard, he had a frown on his face that show how displeased he was. I moved closer to him and held his hand. "How about we both some fresh air" I said to him.He looked at me and nodded. We walked to the swimming pool area and sat there for a while not saying a single word to each other. I knew he had a lot say and pour out, I just need to be patient and wait till he was ready to talk, who knows he might end up speaking about the obvious rivalry between Elizabeth and Alicia and also the supposed relationship the four of them shared.I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't notice Xander looking at me with a smile, what caught my attention was when he rubbed his hands on mine which were still interlocked."You look beautiful under the sun" he said, I could tell he was flirting with me and something in me wanted to play along, I mean what's the worst that could happen and considering we are just getting to know each ot

    Five years later Though the surgery on Damon was successful, he wasn't responding to treatment. I kept believing that each month my belly grew that he was one step from waking up. Sometimes I would cry on his bed that he does wake up but be honest what has crying ever done, crying didn't bring back my mum and so it was impossible to bring him back. At the ninth month I had camped in his room for several days to see if I monitored him he would wake up and then.... Lest I forget, during those months I was busy trying to get Damon out from his coma, I had actually attended Beatriz hearing. I visited her a day to that and she apologized for all that she had done and told me that she actually liked me for her son but with the deal she had with Alicia couldn't let her love me like she did before. She told me she would confess to everything and take the entire blame but that wasn't what I wanted her to do, so I had ask her to focus on telling the truth.

    She was running her own entire wedding in our faces and she was doing pretty good at it. When everyone were very much seated Alicia asked for all of her men to leave as there was no need for them being here since there was no place we could run to."Today is for us, Damon. I hope the ropes aren't too tight on you, you see I would love to release you but I can't trust that you would stay still till our wedding is over" she said softly. "Please carry on"The officiator began with a few passages from the Bible about marriage and how sacred it is.... I could see Alicia getting impatient with him and she gave him an order that he should speed things up."Hey.... Psst" Jeanette called for my attention from the order row. "Aren't you going to do something to stop the wedding? I mean if it was my man getting married to someone else I know that I won't seat still and let her snatch him away from.....

    Priscilla POVSeeing Beatriz leave in that manner had spiked the room for gossip as silent whispers from the workers could be heard. I slowly slipped out of the living room after Alicia had gone somewhere probably to check on Beatriz, those two really care for each other and Xander had left to search for a good lawyer for his mother.I heard silent sobs coming out of Elizabeth's room as she packed all of her things into her luggage bag. I knew she was heartbroken and had felt bad for all that she had done, but the things she did to Damon was pretty much despicable and I would side with Damon anytime any day if compared.I spent an hour in my room trying to process all that had happened. Would Damon had actually gotten his mother arrested for my sake? If so, how did he know she was the culprit? And if that were to be the case, why wasn't Alicia arrested as well? She is the one who spearheaded the entire mission and now she is walking free like nothing has happened.

I held my breathe from taking in the stench of all these criminals that were being thrown into jail for some particular period of time.I went straight to the officer who had arrested Beatriz an hour ago or two.... Somewhere there about, was to busy laughing to had even realize the time she was arrested."I'm here to see Mrs Beatriz" I said, flashing those teeth that I had just got whitened for this particular reason.... Smiling actually makes you younger."Mrs Beatriz?" He said lifting a questioning brow, "are you here in place of her family cause I just spoke with Damon and he said none of his family members will be bailing her out, they have even made that clear to the judge""Oh.... I am not here for that at all, infact I am only concerned as to how she is coping, I don't want to go against Damon's wishes" I said as my smile grew wider, I just can't belie

    Alicia POVTwo years agoI wept profusely as I got the message of the cancellation of my wedding to Damon. Our wedding was the next day and everybody had already anticipated for this day to come for me, they all knew how much I loved Damon.Though I had no single clue as to what was the cause of the call off I still had expected Damon to had called rather than sending me a text message. The thought of having to send out a message to my invitees about Damon calling off the wedding had me shed tears even more.Despite of all that I was feeling inside I can never hate Damon rather my love for him grew. I knew he had his eyes on someone else that he couldn't reach but still that didn't stop me. I loved him ever since our university days where we both studied a different course but still cross each other's part daily.Our first meeting had brought about "love at first sight" for me.

    I knew it was impossible that Damon gave what was mine to another woman whose job is to crave for his attention and does all she can to get it. But it did make me feel uncomfortable as my eyes didn't leave her hand, I was focused on it so much that I had forgotten what was going on.To be honest I felt betrayed, which is why I calmed myself with a believe that there was a coincidence she had the ring on her finger, she probably would've bought the ring at the same store Damon got his. I should be calm, don't think Priscilla, please don't.Damon turned to Link to get Elizabeth's parents and that Liliana be given to her nanny to watch over for now."Why are you bringing my parent into our problem, this should be settled by the both of us and not them" Elizabeth begged as Damon was adamant on bringing them in despite her plead, "Stop Brett now, please....

    My heart sank as I dread the day I refused his proposal, my response was going to be yes and then we get married and live happily ever after---- that's the plan. I sobbed harder, resting my back on the wall only to find Jeanette laughing at me. "You must really love Damon.... well he isn't dead but he is back and had requested the presence of everyone"I glared at her as the urge to slap her gripped me, too bad I wasn't the one who got the chance to..... Of all the people in this mansion to play this joke and she chose Damon.Jeanette had called Alicia as she was walking by to tell her the joke she just pulled on me, in no second Alicia's hand met Jeanette's skin. "Never joke on Damon's life like that! If you want to make a silly joke use yourself or anybody but never in your gold digging life utter Damon's name close to the word death" hearing her speak, I had to admit that this was the first time we both share the same thoughts.Alicia looked at me, she saw ho

    I stood in awe of the drama Alicia was pulling off quite well. The sympathy from the maids and other solicited spectators, who had cameras rolling, taking in every action Alicia portrayed. I had to admit that her acting was superb, and believe it or not it was Oscar worthy.She threw her hair to the side as she wiped her tears, taking Jeanette hands before adding, "This is my trustworthy friend who has stood with me all through this trying time" hugging Jeanette she went further to add, "Thank you for being there for me"Wasn't it today that I heard Beatriz and her discussing her return? Then how the hell is she back this soon? I really don't like this one bit."Welcome back dear" Beatriz came out to hug her and kissed her forehead.

    The diary Elizabeth wrote was opened wide in front of the police officer I ws directed to deliver my case. I watched as he scanned through the pages without having to read it's content. When he got to the part where the handwriting went amiss, he looked up at me to question me about it."Did you forge this to incriminate a person?" He gave me stern look, aggressively pushed the diary to my side and stopped any bit of explanation from my mouth. "Please leave, we don't have time for this" he said before throwing his eyes to the screen of his computer."I have another proof...." I tried saying, he paid no heed to my contention as he got up from his seat and left me in my baffling position.I felt a little disgusted at his behaviour but I had no time to dwell on a corrupt person who refuse to see the fact that was in front of his. I grabbed the diary and left the table.As i was focused on unzipping my bag so that I could put the book back in, I bumped
