From the office, Bryson decided to pay a visit to his father hearing what Melissa and Alex were planning. He strode into the living room to find his mother. He greeted her and she ignored him but Bryson didn't care."I didn't know you could talk. Last I spoke to your wife, you have gone mute," Janet said coldly. "Mum, last I checked, I didn't make any promise to Melissa. We just signed a document," Bryson retorted. "I see. So is that why you called the judge and whoever it is that came with him home? You didn't want to commit to Melissa," Janet said turning on the sofa to look at Bryson who was standing almost behind her."She said she was carrying my child and she didn't want to have the baby unmarried. She wants to be married and now she is married. What more do you want from me? Did anyone ask my opinion when you tied Melissa around my neck?" Bryson growled."Did you discuss or ask for anyone's opinion when you decided to mount her?" Janet threw the words at him."Oh, you want to
The two men on the motorcycle just rode off. The few people around and the cars that got crushed in the hot chase where people thought the driver of the ride that went down the ditch was speeding were also left sitting on the street. The police got there soon enough to see the situation. The burnt vehicle was retrieved from the ditch. It had already burned to ash leaving nothing but mental. "What happened here?" one officer asked an eyewitness."Well, I just joined the main road and this car which is in the ditch drove past me at such a top speed. Next, it veered off the road. He almost killed two motorcycle riders had they not been fast enough to move. It went straight into the ditch and I heard a loud explosion followed by smoke," she narrated."Yeah, I saw him too, he was driving crazily but I am not sure, it seems like he was driving away from the motorcycle riders. They were right at his tail but went away as soon as the vehicle veered off the road," reported another eyewitness.
"Mum, I am coming over," Melissa said, ending the call. "What happened?" Brian asked."Well, news of Bryson's disappearance just got to her. I am getting a feeling we may have miscalculated," Melissa certain."What do you mean?" Brian asked curiously."Her voice carried a heavy weight of fear when she tried to confirm if Bryson was with me. She cares if she wasn't showing it," Melissa replied. "Well, the deal is done. We just need to confirm Bryson is dead, so he doesn't come after us out of the blue," Brian said and Melissa frowned hearing his statement."Of course, he is done. Who can survive a car falling into a ditch and bursting into flames? If his body was in the ditch the police would have found him but there was nothing. Surely he was in the car," Melissa pointed out."What if he jumped out of the car before the car fell into the ditch," Brian mentioned the possibility."Brian, sometimes I wonder how your brain works," Melissa said resting both hands on her waist drawing Bria
"Oh, gee, this is not good," Knight commented staring at Bryson stooping over Dede as he shook her to wake up."Don't just stand there, call a doctor. She is pregnant and still in her first trimester. Falling to the floor like that is a big deal. Get the doctor," Bryson yelled at Knight who just stood there worrying about people finding out about his mirror suits. "She is dead. Do you really want to bring a doctor here to check on her? What if he decided to take her to the hospital for better assessment? She is pregnant you like you said," Knight said still standing in his spot."Are you stupid or what? I don't want her to die neither do I want her to lose the babies," Bryson yelled at him looking desperate."Confirmed, you love her too," Knight said and retrieved his phone from his pocket making a call.His statement made Bryson frown as he scoped Dede into his arms sending her to the bed where he was previously sitting. "Dede, my love, please wake up," Bryson said while Knight stoo
"It's okay. Stop crying," he whispered to her while she remained on his lap still with her hands wrapped around her waist."I thought I would never see you again," Dede murmured."I truly love you and there was no one I was going to stay away from you no matter what," Bryson confessed and Dede lifted her gaze to meet him staring down at her."But I did terrible things. I was stupid and I allowed another," she began but Bryson silenced her by placing his finger on her lips."Don't talk about it. It is in the past. Let it be in the past and let's move forward," Bryson said and tears fell from eyes streaming down her face."You forgave me that easily," Dede said almost whispering."You didn't do them deliberately. It was a trap and you fell into it. I agree falling into the trap was your act of stupidity but hey, we all act stupid sometimes and reason why there is a thing called 'mistake'," Bryson said lovingly."Thank you, Bryson," Dede appreciated genuinely."I hurt you too and you did
At the hideout, Bryson was zooming into a passionate moment with Dede when a knock on the door interrupted them. The door flew open and Knight's masked face popped up from behind the door with the rest of his body hiding behind the door. You can tell by his posture he was leaning into the room."Must you make it obvious you hate romance?" Bryson commented turning to look at Knights head popping out from behind the door."Sorry, Bryson, in as much as I am happy I messed up the moment because it will mean, I don't have to plug earphones into my ears to avoid hearing the abuse of the name of a supreme deity, this was very important. Is a life and death situation," Knight said in his robotic voice getting Bryson's full attention. He quickly put his shirt back on. Dede feeling embarrassed by Knight walking in on them hid her face behind Bryson. "What happened?" Bryson asked buttoning his shirt while sitting on the bed with Dede hiding behind him."Well, my informant told me, aside from Br
"Please excuse us," one of the paramedic's men said to Brian and he made way for him."What happened?" Brian questioned, searching for answers from Melissa and Rebecca, who stood in complete silence. "How come Dad is hurt?" Brain questioned raising his voice but the two remained quiet. James was moved out of the apartment on a stretcher towards the parked ambulance outside and Brian just followed them out occasionally staring at Melissa and Rebecca questioningly. "What are we going to do?" Melissa asked her mother when Brian and the paramedics team were out of the living."Nothing. We wait for what they will say and we plan our defence. For now, we say nothing we do nothing. We all act shocked and worried like everyone else," she replied. "Talking of which, I need you to grab your car keys and let's head for the hospital," she added."What about, Mrs Adams? I told her I was coming over. You know, no one had heard of Bryson since the report of the accident that happened around the ne
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
