At the office, Bryson decided to check up on Dede after returning to his office from a meeting. He didn't Dede's countenance when he was leaving home for work. He dialled the house phone number and waited for the call to connect. It rang severally but no one answered. He tried calling the guards at home and no one answered. He called Alex's extension.

"Get ready, we are going home," he said and ended the call.

He turned off his laptop and grabbed a few documents he intended to work on at home. His instincts told him something was wrong even though he was trying to remain positive. He knew Melissa already knew who Dede was. He had not told Mr Jackson he had found his daughter for fear of what might happen to Dede if she moved in to stay with her father. And also he was in love with her and felt the need to protect her.

In the car, Bryson looked restless. He kept dialling the house phone number, hoping his feelings were false. Alex noticed and already knew Melissa had carried out her de

    The call dropped and the phone began to ring again. Melissa answered it and brought the phone to her eyes."What is it?" Melissa said under the watching gaze of Bryson."The Chef called and said the delivery has been done," Julia informed Melissa smiling inwardly but keeping a straight face outwardly."Okay. That is fine. Let me know if they need anything else," Melissa said and ended the call. "You want an explanation for the conversation?" she asked glaring at Bryson. "Melissa, can we talk privately," Bryson requested and the side of Melissa's lips curled up."Sure, come with me," she said and stood up. "I will be back shortly," she said to her friends before leaving the living room with Bryson trailing behind her.Melissa took him upstairs and opened the door to her bedroom, inviting him in."You don't have an office or a place with seats and not a bed?" Bryson asked standing at the entrance while Melissa was holding the door to her bedroom open while inside the bedroom. "I don't

    "It is such a pity, you are going to die here," came a voice that sounded like a robot.Dede wondered who it was. The whole room was dark and she couldn't speak aside from making muffled noise. She felt a hand pull her up and her heart began to race as her screams were muffled. She was carried as her shoulder pressed against a hard chest. She could feel the person walking and next, she felt the person climbing a staircase. Her body was used to push a door open but the place was still dark. She felt the softness of a bed and her heart began to race. She was naked and tied up."Not again, not again," she cried inwardly. She felt the hand playing with her body and she curled her body away from the hand but it kept touching her. The cloth was removed from her mouth and she screamed with all her might and the person laughed."Scream all you want. We are in the middle of nowhere and no one is coming for you not even Bryson can find you," came the robotic voice."What do you want from me?"

    Dede was sent to the hospital and was attended to. Her broken leg was bandaged and the bruises on her wrist were treated. "How is she?" Bryson asked the doctor."Aside from the bruises on her wrist sustained from her moving her tied-up hand forward and her broken ankle resulting from the fall, she appears to be okay," the doctor replied."Can I take her home?" Bryson asked."Yes, after we get her some clothes," the doctor said reminding Bryson she was brought in with clothes."Sure," Bryson acknowledged and headed for Dede's ward while another guard per his order went to get clothes for Dede. He walked into the ward to find Dede sitting on the bed in a blue hospital gown. He drew closer to the bed and hugged her. "Glad you are okay," Bryson said pulling away from the hug."Was it Mr Jackson?" Dede asked staring at Bryson."No, it was some woman but don't worry your head about that. What matters most is you are safe," Bryson said and kissed the side of her temple. "I am going to do

    Back at the station, even though Julia was dead, Bryson was not convinced Julia was the one behind the kidnapping. He still believes it was Melissa but now the one to confirm that is gone. He was only left with evidence that says Julia had an ulterior motive."You said Julia and Dede came to this state together from your records. You also said they are friends from the information you gathered about the two from social media. So why will Julia want to harm Dede?" Bryson asked."Well, even though they are friends, Dede had an attitude that didn't sit well with Julia. The day they arrive in this country, Julia throws Dede out on the street because she tries to seduce her boyfriend and when she is caught, she plays the victim.

    After an exchange of pleasantries, they dished out the food and started eating. "Feels like old times," Janet began. "Having the whole family together. Sigh, but alas, the devil is never happy when people are happy," she chipped and Bryson stared at her with a frown. He knew exactly what she was doing, and that was to make Dede feel unwelcomed on the table but he smiled when an idea of a response came to mind. "Yeah, it was good old times until the angel we knew turned out to be Lucifer himself," Bryson retorted with a smirk and Melissa gasped. "Did he just describe her as a devil?" was the question in Melissa's eyes as he stared at Bryson. "Really," Janet scuffed. "last I check home wreckers are not angels," she submitted rolling her eyes and Bryson clenched his fist. "That is enough conversations around folktales," Jacob intervened. "So how is the company doing? Anything interesting?" he asked directing his question to Bryson. "It is all good. Everything is in place and we

    Melissa seized the opportunity and quickly got out of bed grabbing the blankets with her as she coughed violently. Bryson did not see Dede. He figured his father had used that to get him to leave Melissa. He was still fuming with anger and his parents tried to stop him from getting to Melissa. Melissa knew it was time to leave. She hurried out of the room using Jacob and Janet as shields. "Melissa, I will not forgive you for this," Bryson yelled after her. He stormed out of the room walking out on his parents who kept calling him. He went straight to his room and found Dede collied up in bed. He calmed himself hoping she didn't know about him and Melissa. "Are you sleeping?" he asked in a calm voice and Dede remained silent with her eyes wide open soaking the pillow with her tears.Bryson drew closer to the bed to see her face and he knew from her demeanour she already knew about him and Melissa. He shut his eyes briefly massaging in between his brow."I am sorry, I am not sure wha

    "It is not too late, Dede. I promise to love and protect you. Ask him for a divorce and come with me," Alex suggested and Dede's eyes widened. "Since the day I felt hurt and couldn't look after you any more, how well did Mr Adams protect you?" Alex asked and Dede searched her memory.She did realise that even though, Bryson gave the command and seemed to be on top, everything was executed by Alex. And when she is Alex were close, she didn't run into many troubles like this. "I love you him," Dede said in resignation. "So you will sacrifice yourself for that?" Alex asked with a frown. "Come with me. Let's chat outside in the car," he requested scanning the environment as if searching for eavesdroppers. Dede looked around too before leaving the living room and heading for the main exit with Alex. Outside, Alex led her to his parked ride. He opened the back seat door for her and she entered. Alex went round the car and sat behind the wheel. "Where are we going?" Dede asked seeing Ale

    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 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 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.

    "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.

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.

    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.
