In a couple of minutes, Bryson was in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. Mable called Melissa informing her of the current situation. At the hospital, Bryson was sent to the emergency room. Melissa arrived fifteen minutes after Bryson was sent to the emergency room. "How is my husband?" Melissa asked the receptionist."Please who is your husband?" the receptionist asked, displeased by Melissa's arrogant display. "You don't know my husband? The owner of the hospital?" Melissa spat at the receptionist."Apologies, if you are looking for Mr Adams, he is still in the emergency room," the receptionist replied expressionless."What is your name?" Melissa asked with a frown. "Jayla Ross," the receptionist replied expressionless. "Change my name if you are still a receptionist at this hospital after today," Melissa said and walked away. The receptionist just watched her walk away without saying a word. "Who is she?" Jayla asked a colleague who just joined her. "Oh, that is Melis
At the central police station, inside one of the cells, Dede was sitting on a bed hugging her legs. When she left her country for this foreign land, this was not at all what she had anticipated. In her mind, she was thinking, she would get an agency to sign her up as a supermodel and she would live her dreams. It is like all the things people said back in her country were fairytales. Life in a foreign land was as difficult as living in her own country if you didn't meet or have the needful. Dede lowered her head. Now more than ever she wants to go back to her birth country. It has been one thing after the other since she arrived and yet nowhere close to having her dreams fulfilled. "Mum, Dad, I don't know you but I know you do. Why did you bring me into this world to suffer like this?" Dede cried out loud."They didn't," came a female voice."What?" Dede reacted turning to see a female officer standing close to her cell. "I said, your parents didn't choose to bring you here. You won
After sending a message to someone, Melissa followed them.Inside the office, Bryson dismissed Alex as soon as Melissa entered. Melissa frowned feeling she was missing out on something."Bryson, why are you keeping her?" Melissa asked."Keeping who?" Bryson asked and poured himself a glass of water."You damn well know who I am talking about," Melissa snapped."Melissa, I don't play guessing games. So is either you tell me who you are talking about or you get the hell out," Bryson growled.Melissa took a step back as she had never seen Bryson this angry before. She went silent for a while and thought her next words through before she said it."My love, I am a woman who is just concerned about her love. I don't know what you see in that girl but she doesn't have a good agenda," Melissa said calmly."For your safety, I advise you to give her some money and send her away. If there was poisoning, what would happen next?" Melissa said with concern."Melissa, I understand your concern for me
Later in the day, Bryson was in his office working on some files from the office. He was preparing for the week. His phone rang and upon seeing the caller ID, he answered quickly."What did you find?" Bryson asked Bryson's face twitched as he listened to the person on the other end of the call. His face turned red with anger and his hair stood on its roots."Send all the evidence to me immediately," Bryson said, ending the call. "She lied to me. How dare she?" Bryson growled. His email pops up with a notification. He checked and there was a new email. He opened it and went through the attached document. He read through it and frowned. Meanwhile, Dede was thrilled watching TV in her room unaware of what was going on in Bryson's office. The doorbell rang and Katie answered. It was a man in an all-black suit wearing a helmet. He delivered a package to Katie and asked her to sign for it. Katie did and sent the package to Bryson in his office. He took it and quickly opened it. Inside was
Bryson read the message and played the video Melissa had sent to him. He watched the video multiple times but each time, he didn't understand why he was so hurt by what Dede did. He felt betrayed. He deleted the video and tossed his phone aside. He completed the work he was doing and left his private apartment back to his other apartment. He went up to the control room upon arrival. He wanted to see what kind of punishment, Melissa gave Dede. Inside the control room, he sat behind the monitors and rewind the tape to the time Dede was brought back to the apartment. He played the footage and watched everything that went on in the basement. His eyes widened when he saw how mercilessly Dede was beating stripped down to her underwear. He stopped watching the video and wondered why this footage affected him so much. He wondered why he was so concerned. It would not be the first time, he had handed someone over to Melissa to punish. He recalled he saw something when Dede was lying on the bas
Alex left the place heading for the hospital with Dede in the back seat of the car. After a couple of minutes drive, he arrived at the hospital and Dede was sent to the emergency room. Alex waited around while the doctors attended to Dede. After what seemed like forever, the doctor updated Alex on the situation. "She will be fine. The wounds on her body were sustained from a whip. She was also injected with some medication which made her appear to be dead but she will be fine," the doctor reported. "Is she awake?" Alex asked. "No, but she is responsive," the doctor said and Alex frowned. "It means she is just sleeping now," he explained. "Mr Adams wants her to be well taken care of," Alex said and the doctor nodded. Dede was moved to the fourth floor. That whole floor has just three big rooms. The rooms were almost like a home but it was a ward. High-profile patients are the ones who use such wards. They are the executive wards. Inside Executive Ward 2, Dede was lying on a do
Dede is a Ghanaian from Africa. How is she her husband's daughter? Rebecca returned to the dining table with an awkward smile which her husband noticed. "Is everything alright Becky?" James asked. "Yeah. It is just my friend having a hard time but nothing serious to worry about," Rebecca lied through her teeth and sat back down next to her husband. "Okay," James acknowledged and turned to look at Brian who was cutting his chicken "So Brian, I heard you brought another girl to your apartment," he said. "What is your deal with her?" he asked. "Dad, he wants to marry that one," Melissa said and Brian choked on his chicken at the mention of marriage. "Have some water," James said and Melissa giggled at Brian's reaction. "Dad, she is just a friend I am helping," Brian said after sipping some water and calming his system. "I see. From where?" James asked. "She is from Ghana," Brian replied. "Yeah, right, greasing her hoohaa with your rods," Melissa said and Brian raised his
Alex, as instructed by Bryson had Dede discharged from the hospital and he took her to Bryson's penthouse. One of his many properties. Dede's wounds were beginning to heal due to the type of medications she was injected with at the hospital during the treatment. Leaving the hospital, she was prescribed some medication and also given a specific type of lotion to use so the wounds do not leave nasty scars on her body. At the penthouse, Dede's eyes were just going round in circles. The building was like glass. They used the elevator to the top floor. Alex unlocked the door and they both walked through into the living room. "It is late. Get some rest. Mr Adams will see you tomorrow," Alex said and turned to walk away. "Am I to stay here alone?" Dede asked, her eyes scanning the big space with things she had only seen in movies. "Yes. Mr Adams does not allow just anyone to come up here," Alex said. "I will be on the next floor if anything dial one on the phone over there," Alex added a
