Alex took the container to the lab just like Melissa had thought.

"I want the names of all the fingers that touched this container," Alex said and the man nodded taking the container from Alex.

Alex dropped a bundle of cash on the table.

"You know my boss. If you don't want to end up like your friend, make sure you stick to the truth no matter what," Alex said and the man gulped.

He recalled a similar situation. His friend and working colleague took some money and changed the results which was shared with Bryson. He did not know how but Bryson found out. He recalled the day like yesterday. Bryson marched into their space with six armed guards. They were all made to sit and watch as a guard tortured the man to speak the truth and bled him out. Bryson sat down and watched together with them as the life slowly faded out of the man as he bled onto the floor with the bullet and knife wounds inflated on him.

"I like nothing but the truth. Lies irritate me," Bryson said after the man took

    "I can only admire him from afar and I get to see him every day," Dede said to herself and lay on the bed unaware of the monitors in her room. The day slowly passed and surprisingly, Melissa did not show her face at Bryson's apartment. Bryson sat in his office after dinner and completed some office work. He picked up his phone and called Alex."Is there food in the apartment?" Bryson asked. "Yes, boss. I stuffed the kitchen with a few stuff when I went out today," Alex replied."Good. How is she?" Bryson asked."She is happy," Alex said watching Dede on the monitor as she happily danced in her room humming an unfamiliar tune."Happy?" Bryson repeated with a frown."She is dancing," Alex revealed sounding amused."Dancing?" Bryson repeated. "Yes, boss," Alex confirmed."I see," Bryson. "Do not get distracted. Keep your ears and eyes on the ground," he added and ended the call. "She is dancing," Bryson repeated the statement as he exited the office for his room.The next day, at 6. 3

    "Yes, I did," Bryson said turning to look at Dede placing the results on the table. "Get your stuff we are going somewhere," he said coldly and Dede turned to walk away but she paused in her steps."Sir, please is everything alright?" Dede asked facing Bryson once more."Don't ask silly questions. I gave you an instruction," Bryson flared off.Dede turned and hurried her steps out of the office. It is not like she had not seen Bryson angry before but she was just wondering what was making him angry. She saw an envelope on his desk which she did not place there. Everything that goes to Bryson passes through her. She had nothing to pack as she came to work without a bag. She just locked the shelf and kept the key where she was supposed to. She stepped out of her office using the outer door and saw Bryson heading for the elevator. She hurried her steps but by the time she got there, the elevator door was closing. She used the staircase running down to ensure she made it to the garage. She

    Melissa dropped to her knees in tears the moment, Bryson exited the balcony. She watched through the glass door as Bryson and his guards headed for the main door. "Bryson," she called out to him but Bryson did not even spare her a glance.He walked through the front door and was out of the building. Inside the car, he shut his eyes in pain. He did love Melissa. He wanted to spend his life with her. The first time he set eyes on her, there was something about her that made him look at her. She didn't draw his inner feelings but she was unique in her own way. She was smart and very down to earth. Her attitude changed when she rose to stardom in the modelling agency. She suddenly changed in character. She suddenly turned rude. He had wanted to believe it was the defence she was building for the harsh reality of the entertainment industry so she would not get bullied. This was why he delayed their marriage. He wanted to be sure of her. Next, she started the plastic surgery. He asked her o

    "Bryson?" Melissa called out and the expression on her face quickly changed from that of anger to sadness. "Please, don't leave me. I can't live without you," she said and held Bryson's by the lapel of his jacket. Bryson stood there like a robot, his gaze very cold. Melissa's face was inches away from his as she sobbed, her face suddenly getting covered with tears streaming down her cheeks and her eyes turning red with pain. Bryson's gaze shifted to Melissa's plastic surgery lips which were moving with the words coming out of her and he frowned. "Get off me Melissa," Bryson said coldly."Melissa get a hold of yourself," James yelled feeling Melissa was embarrassing herself begging a man for his love like that but his wife frowned feeling her husband was supporting Bryson's behaviour. "Bryson, don't do this to me," Melissa pleaded ignoring her father. "Bryson, I believe we can talk about this," Rebecca said and James pulled Melissa away from Bryson.

    Bryson moved his hand and realized he was not alone. He frowned and turned on the bedside lamp. When he turned to look, he came face to face with Dede's sleeping face. He stared at her for a while and wondered why she was sleeping in his room again. He wanted to leave the room but his body will not respond to him. Dede moved her body slightly drawing his attention to her. He turned to stare at her again. Her face was inches away from his. He slowed his breathing not wanting to wake her. With so much on his mind and being tipsy, he was not sure when he drew closer after admiring her face for a while under the dim light. He had kissed her before and he never forgot the taste of her lips. The urge drew his desire to the surface. He kissed her and Dede opened her eyes and moved backwards seeing Bryson in her bed. "Sir," Dede whispered. "Ssh," Bryson said placing his hand on his lips. Dede realized immediately he was drunk. She got out of bed and Bryson's gaze followed her as she went

    "Huh!" Dede said unable to look Bryson in the eye."Look at me and answer my question," Bryson said and Dede struggled to raise her head to look at Bryson.She looked everywhere but Bryson. Bryson stood up from behind his desk and walked up to her. Dede retrieved her steps making Bryson stop in his tracks. The last thing he wanted to hear was, that he was harassing a woman in his office. He frowned and headed for the door."You can go back to your office and have the documents ready and on my desk for the afternoon meeting. Tell Alex, I said he should help you get ready for tomorrow's event," Bryson said and exited his office using the main exit. Outside, Bryson used the staircase and headed for the finance department. He could have invited the finance manager into his office but he wanted to get out of his office. It was just him and Dede alone on the whole fourth floor. Calling Dede to his office and her behaviour just now, brought his desire to the surface. He was just a couple of

    There was a door creaking noise heard in the hallway making Bryson, Dede and Alex look in the direction where Melissa was standing a while ago. "Check what is happening there," Bryson said and Alex moved towards the direction the noise had come from. "You look great," Bryson complimented Dede as soon as Alex left. "Thank you. You look amazing like always too," Dede returned the compliment. "It was one of the waiters using the back door," Alex reported upon return and Bryson frowned. "Have that door locked. I don't want anyone using that entrance," Bryson said and fully descended the staircase making Dede move a step back to make way for him. "Let's go," Bryson said to Dede and strode towards the auditorium's main entrance. After walking to the door, he turned to find Dede walking like she was counting her steps. He frowned and walked back to her. "Struggling with the heels?" he asked seeing she was looking at her feet. "A little," Dede replied with an awkward smile. "

    Bryson left the room after he was done. After he found Dede in the hotel dressed like that and the images that were sent to him, which he confirmed were fake with the help of Knight, he started monitoring all of them to collect enough evidence to punish all of them. "I am done," Bryson said to Arnold as he was in his office. "And thank you for looking after my wife," he added and Dede stood to his feet accepting Bryson's hand which he offered to her."It is no trouble at all," Arnold said. "So what are you going to do about your disappearance news which had gone viral?" he asked."The news said I was missing, not dead. Except for my stepmother, I want the rest to be on the news for the crimes they committed. I will announce my presence and present my wife to the world," Bryson said."Very well, Mr Adams. I will make that happen," Arnold acknowledged and Bryson left the office. They sat in the car and headed for the hospital. Inside the car, in the back seat, Dede rested her head on

    The police car drove in and parked in the parking lot. In handcuffs, Alex was brought out of the vehicle and led towards the station. Inside the station, he walked into a room which he quickly figured was an interrogation room."I have a right to an attorney. I am not saying anything until my attorney is here," Alex said when he was forced to sit and his hand locked to the table. "Yeah, you do," the officer chuckled and exited the room. Alex remained calm as he scanned the room. It was very small and there was a mirror behind him. There was another chair in front of him. He was forced to rest his hand on the table because he had been handcuffed to the table. After what seemed like forever, the door was slowly pushed open and a man walked in accompanied by an officer. The man had on a shade and a mask. His face was completely covered. Alex frowned wondering what was going on but still kept his cool. The officer pulled the seat behind the table for the man and he sat down. Alex's fr

    Bryson and Dede were ushered into the office of the chief of police. They sat on the provided seat and the door was closed to give them privacy. Bryson removed the nose mask he had on and took off the baseball cap to reveal his identity."Ah, Mr Adams, I thought you were," asked the chief of police, Arnold, looking surprised like he had seen a ghost."Dead?" Bryson completed the statement."No, but you were involved in an accident. We still have what is left of your burnt car and my people are out there trying to find you," Arnold said in one breath surprised by Bryson showing up unharmed in his office."That is why I am here. My life and that of my wife here had been threatened," Bryson began. "I am here to report a crime going on in this city right under your nose," he added with a serious expression.Dede also removed her nose mask and the scarf she had used to cover her head."She is my legally married wife," Bryson began. "To the people who know her, she is dead or missing. And th

    Knight smiled and Bryson looked upstairs. Knight knew exactly what Bryson was thinking about."You fed her with too much crazy information last night?' he asked."I feel so. Her father's sudden appearance. Possibility of Brian being her half-brother. I wish with all my heart Brian would not be her half-brother. It will break her," Bryson said sadly."Did Brian sleep with her?" Knight asked for confirmation concluding it would be the only thing that would traumatise someone after finding a family member."That bastard raped her," Bryson replied. "Sorry to hear about that. I will advise, whatever you found out keep it away from her then," Knight advised. His phone beeped with a message notification. Knight keeping checked it and stared at Bryson."What?" Bryson asked curiously."Your worst fears have been...." Knight began and stared at his screen again. "Brian is her half-brother," Bryson completed the sentence when Knight stared at him."Nope.

    Alex was sitting in the living room, casually dressed. He held the TV remote in his hand and playfully tapped on the keys as he stared at the black screen of the TV. His phone rang snapping him back to reality. He checked the caller and answered it immediately."It is done," came a voice."Good. You left something for the police?" Alex asked."Yes, boss," replied the man. "Good," Alex acknowledged and ended the call. He grabbed his car keys and exited the apartment. He got behind the wheel and started the car engine. He moved the car out of the compound and went down to the club downtown. He found a place to park, got out of the car and took long strides towards the club. Some girls loitering around the club entrance tried to flirt with him. She shot them a dangerous look scaring them off. He walked into the club and sat on a chair positioned in front of the stage where a stripper was dancing seductively. At the hideout, Knight had a call from his men on the ground. "Speak," he sai

    Outside, at another location, Brian and Melissa were done with their passionate session in the car. Brian got behind the wheel and started the engine putting the car back into motion. Melissa adjusted her clothes and placed her underwear in her bag."I will call Janet and tell her I will see her tomorrow. I can't go there like this," Melissa said fixing her messy hair."Cool, let's go to my place then," Brian said and Melissa nodded. She was getting used to Brian's sex addiction life but she enjoyed his touch and hence didn't mind. On the way to Brian's apartment, Melissa's phone rang and she answered seeing who was calling."It is done, everything that belongs to Bryson now belongs to you," came the voice of a man and Melissa's lips curved into a wide smile."When can I pick the documents?" Melissa asked."If you are not too busy, you can pass by my office and pick them up," the man said."Sure, I am on my way," Melissa said and ended the call.She excitedly planted multiple kisses o

    "I am going to tell you a story. At the end of it, you will get to know who you are," Bryson said and led Dede to the couch.Dede sat down curious about what Bryson was going to tell her and how that would tell her who she was. She sat on the couch and Bryson sat down next to her. He held both of her hands in his and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. He rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb. Dede just sat down curious about what all of this was about. She was happy Bryson was there with her and she was enjoying the attention he was giving her. "Some time back, a man approached me and sought my help in looking for a missing person," Bryson began, making sure he didn't give the story away until he was done. He wanted Dede to listen attentively to every detail he was going to share with her before he let her know, she was the one he was talking about. "This man lived a carefree life and had a lot of women. He was a playboy," Bryson continued and Dede just stared at h

    Back at Rebecca and Dave's location, Dave was done taking notes. "Thank you for being honest with me," Dave said closing his small notebook. "Concerning my husband, what will happen to my daughter?" Rebecca asked, fear of Melissa going to prison run through her. "If your husband lives, he will decide if he wants to press charges. If he dies, the law will take its full course," Dave replied. Inside the hospital, hours passed and they were still waiting for an update on James's condition. Dave and Rebecca strode in making the three turn to look at them. "Any news about your father?" Rebecca asked, taking a seat next to Melissa. "Nothing," Melissa replied. The door flew open and the doctor walked up to them. "We are done and everything was successful. We are moving him to the recovery ward. He is not awake yet. So you can come back tomorrow and he will be awake," the doctor said "Can I stay here with him?" Melissa asked. "You go home. You have enough on your plate alread

    Inside the hospital, the doctor came out of the emergency and five people walked towards him. The doctor frowned seeing the additional two men. "How is he?" Aiden asked. "He will live," the doctor began. "The results show, he was hit in the back of his head. The place that was hit caused him to bleed and we will have to remove the clot of blood if not it will create a health problem that could cost him his life. In simple English," he added. "Thank you, doctor," Dave acknowledged. "We prepare him for that but I will need one of you to fill out the form for the procedure," the doctor said and Rebecca owned up as his wife. The doctor left with her to have the form completed leaving Melissa and Brian with the lawyer and the officer. "Ms Melissa, right?" the officer said and fear flashed through Melissa's eyes as chills ran down her spine. "I understand you and your mother were the only ones with him when the supposed accident happened. Now listening to the doctor, how did he fall
