With Mr. Crack missing and unable to locate the man who had last seen her father alive, Melissa lost all hope of getting the evidence she needed.

She thought Mr. Stevens' illegal businesses would come to light when she found the truck, but it didn't. None of the casino managers mentioned him during the interrogation. And there was nothing linking them to the casino.

"I'm I making all this up?" Massaging her temples, she thought of Diana.

Seeing her calm and composed, left Melissa wondering if she had really seen Diana at the warehouse.

All she wanted was to get her father's company back. To prove that Mr. Steven ran it down. But how was she to do that?

Seated in the office, thinking of what to do, the receptionist called. She requested her to get an envelope dropped off by a courier serviceman.

Scanning the white envelope in her hands, it surprised her to find no return address. When she called to inquire from the courier company who had sent it, they gave no information about

    As directed, the two men parked their car a short distance from the hotel. Watching and waiting. It was Jenifer's wedding. "I'm so happy for her." Nancy whispered to Lisa as they left the church after the ceremony heading to the reception area. The heart of the day's event which was held in a garden venue at a prestigious hotel. Melissa and Nancy had arranged the venue. Several tents were erected to host many guests, with an ample buffet and soft music for entertainment. "Congratulations Jenny." They squealed, pushing to hug the gorgeous bride. After a day of laughter and dancing, they escorted Jenifer and her husband out of the hotel. "There she is." The man in the car told his partner. Pointing at the group of people walking out, he checked the photo in his hands for confirmation. Blinking his eyes, the partner searched the crowd around the hotel's exit. "How do we get to her?" He asked, scratching his head scanning the area. Melissa, dressed in a sleeveless light green

    Melissa sat beside the hospital bed the whole night watching over Lisa. Waiting for the sedative drug to wear off. When Lisa passed out from shock and intense pain, Melissa was worried about her. She was afraid of losing her, but the surgery was successful. They removed the bullet and though it slightly missed her heart; the doctor assured them she would recover in a few days. It caused no major damage. "Don't wake her up." With her eyes closed, Melissa heard the hushed voices. Slightly opening her eyes, she found herself lying on the visitor's bed. She very well remembered sitting beside Lisa's bed before falling asleep. As she got up, she saw Mark and Robert in the room charting with Lisa. "Lisa, you are awake. How do you feel? Did you call.....?" Anxious Melissa inquired, rushing to Lisa's side. "Calm down. The doctor already examined her. How are you feeling?" Mark held her hand before she got to Lisa. Pulling her into his arms, he examined her. "Tell me, did you get hu

    To get to the top floor, Melissa used Mark's code to access the elevator thus needing no help from his secretary. When she got to the eighteenth floor she didn't find the secretary at the desk. James too was not in his office. Only Sasha and Mark were in the office. Giving them the privacy to make out. Seeing him cosy with Sasha sealed the deal. When she saw them kissing at the mansion she thought Sasha had forced herself on him. Seeing him embrace her broke her heart. She wanted their marriage to be more than an arrangement. She believed he was in love with her as much as she loved him. Holding back a sob, she ran to the elevator. She didn't look back at the secretary who called her name when she walked from the washroom. For a moment Mark's hands froze. He didn't understand what had happened. When Melissa walked in he couldn't move. "Ah!" Sasha screamed in pain as Mark pushed her off getting up from the chair. "Mark, please just let her go." She pleaded holding his hand.

    “Cheers! Hahaha! It’s done. We sent the mighty Mark Johnson to the hospital.” One of Diana’s goons cheered, opening another beer. “Good, this time you didn’t fail me.” She sat at her office table sipping a glass of whisky with a burning cigarette in the other hand. “I have information that they don’t allow his wife to see him. She cries every day outside the mansion gate, begging for her son.” One man informed them. “Boss, this is the perfect opportunity to get her.” The other man spoke standing from his chair. “Hold your horses. I want her to lose everything she has now before taking her. She should suffer until she wishes she was dead.” Diana said, dragging on the cigarette as the door busted open. “You are a monster. This is not what we agreed on.” Sasha barged into the room, startling everyone. One of Diana’s men pulled out a gun, pointing it at Sasha’s head. “Who let you in here?” He inquired, making her tremble with her hands held high. “That’s enough, leave us.” Dian

    Exhausted, Melissa sat leaning on the glass window as the plane took off, disappearing into the clouds. “Melissa, are you okay?” Lisa knelt beside her when they let her into the office. Using her handkerchief, she wiped Melissa’s face. “Aunt, come with the lawyer. They can’t detain you here anymore. Get up.” Lisa helped her up and out of the office. When they got home, she went straight to the bedroom. Days passed, but Melissa stayed in the house. She stayed in bed, not responding to anything they said. “How do we get her out of that bed?” Lisa asked, walking out with the untouched food plate. “She has not eaten for days since we got from the airport, aunt. I don’t know what to do anymore.” “The doctor said we should give her time. Be patient with her.” Betty walked into the room and sat beside Melissa, smoothing her hair. “When her parents died, she got depressed like this, but it was worse. For a moment, I thought she would die, but the news about her pregnancy gave her someth

    “Let go man, finish him off.” He instructed his partner to get rid of the taxi driver. “No, don’t kill him. You’ve got me. That’s what you came for, right? Please let him go.” Melissa held the door handle, trying to get out of the car, but the man held a cloth to her face, making her lose consciousness. Falling back, she saw the other man hit the taxi driver on the head with his gun. “You should have killed him.” She vaguely heard their conversion as the man seated beside her argued. “No need. By the time he gets up, we will be long gone.” He instructed his partner to drive as he answered his ringing phone. “We’ve got her. Yes, inform the boss we will call once we get to the location.” He told the person on the phone. “Hehehe, this was simpler than I thought. What do you think about having fun with this fresh meat before handing it over?” The man watching Melissa asked. Touching her hair, he leaned in to sniff it. “Mmm...you smell so sweet.

    “Melissa, Melissa, don’t leave me. Please don’t go.” Mark called in agonizing pain in his sleep. Sneering in her heart, Sasha dragged the doctor to a corner as soon as he walked in. “I need you to make him forget his past life. I promise to pay handsomely for your services.” She instructed him. Since the accident, Sasha has been by his side taking care of him, but the only person he called for in his sleep was Melissa. She was getting fed up with having to hear that name over and over again. “What are you saying?” Looking from her to the patient, the doctor asked. “Erase his memory, make sure he remembers nothing from the past year.” She insisted. “And how do you suppose I should do that?” The doctor stared at her as if she had gone crazy. “Drug him or take him for another surgery. I don’t care, as long as he forgets her.” She said looking at Mark. “Ma'am I can’t do that. He has made a tremendous recovery. What you’re suggesting risks losing his life. My work is to save peopl

    At the farm, Sasha held a toy car watching the little boy sitting on the staircase. "I miss my mum so much. I wish she was here with me." Tommy hugged his dog Spark sniffing back the tears. He had insisted on taking the dog when they moved which Mr Johnson obliged. "Are you sad because your mother couldn't come?" Sasha walked up to him holding the toy car behind her back. As the dog growled at her, Tommy kept tapping on its back and didn't bother to respond to her. "Don't be sad Tommy. Look, I brought you a gift." Sasha sat beside him handing him the toy car. "Thank you aunt Sasha but I don't want a toy." With a frown on his face, he pushed the toy away. "I know you miss your mum but your dad is here and he is very happy to be with you." Sasha smiled trying to cheer him up. "They won't let me see dad, grandma Mary told me he is very sick." He kept holding onto the dog more tears filling his eyes.

    At Edward's mansion, the whole family sat together for the first time since the explosion. The blast that claimed three of Mr Edward's employees. Mr Edward accompanied by David made a press briefing assuring the country that his family was safe and the explosion was caused by a gas leak. Now with the renovations complete, the mansion stood greater than it was before. Mr Edward, Ms Lucy, and Mr Johnson sat in the garden talking mostly about their childhood and how their lives had changed since they fell apart. Thanks to Diana's confession, they now knew her grandfather was the one who planted the gold jewellery in Edward's jacket, sending him to prison. Moses' father was an employee at Johnson's farm but got fired when his drinking and negligence caused the farm a handful of cattle. When Edward's father replaced him, Moses father committed suicide, and since then, Moses blamed Edward for his ruined childhood. When Edward started the organization, Moses' empire collapsed. He

    “Richard, you’ve come." Cassandra rushed from the first floor carrying a doll in her hand and a lady dressed in white running after her. "Aunt Cassandra!" Mark stared at her as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Cassandra!" Her sister peeled her from Mark. “You see, I told you Richard will come for me and our baby." She smiled, holding onto Mark’s arm, stopping him from leaving. “Yes Cassandra, let him have some rest first." Sasha’s mother took Cassandra’s hand forcing her to let go of Mark. “So sorry for that." Sasha’s mother apologized holding Cassandra back. “They diagnosed her with dementia. Most of the time she makes things up and confuses people." She explained to Mark who froze staring at Cassandra. After learning of Cassandra's evil scheme that kept his family apart, Richard sent her away. They didn't have her imprisoned but Richard declined all communication with her. “Oh! I'm so sorry." Mark took a step back when she tried to hold his arm again. Staring at what

    At the states, Sasha sat opposite her mother and grandfather, biting her fingernails. She couldn’t dare look her grandfather in the eyes. “Please forgive me. I never meant for all this to happen. Mum!” When her mother overheard her phone conversation with Diana, she forced her to confess to her involvement in Melissa’s kidnapping. “I can’t believe you are capable of this Sasha. Do you see how your obsession with Mark has hurt people?” Her mother asked with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry!” She sniffed trying to hold her mother’s hand. “This is my fault. I pushed my daughter and granddaughter too hard. I turned them into heartless monsters. Being a Johnson was my dream and now my children suffer because of my greed.” Sasha’s grandfather said ashamed of what he had made them do. “No father, you only did it thinking of their well being. Don’t blame yourself father, they chose to force what was not working.” His eldest daughter tried to console him. “But I put the idea in them. How

    "They are moving, I have to get to Melissa." Mark glanced at the tracker in his hand. "We are almost there." Robert fastened his seat belt. "Once they pass the bridge it will be too late. Call Andrew and the police chief, they have to close the road." Mark instructed him. "I can't lose you again Melissa." He said to himself looking at the wedding ring on his left hand clutching the steering wheel. "Careful bro. We can't save her if we are dead." Seated beside Mark, Robert cautioned as he accelerated the speed. "We are running out of time, Robert. I promised to protect her." "And you will get her back." On the other side, David and his security team raided the house. They shot dead most of Diana's men, injuring several of them. "Where did they take my sister?" He beat up one of the guards but no matter how hard he hit him, he didn't say a thing. "Stop, you're going to kill him." The lady who helped Melissa shouted.

    "Ma'am, we have a problem." One of Diana's men got into the office out of breath. "Our men on the perimeter just informed me, there are several vehicles with armed men ending this way." "What? Are they police?" Diana asked as she gathered her things, stuffing them in a travel bag. "No, they look like the men from Edward's security." He explained. "Damn it. How did they find us?" She ran a hand through her hair. "What do we do now ma'am?" "Get my car ready. We have to get to the plane." She ordered walking out. "You think you can outsmart me?" Diana banged the door open and woke Melissa up. "What happened? Ouch, you're hurting me.""Get up." Diana pulled Melissa up by the hair then frisked her body for a phone. "You brought them here." "What's going on? I have nothing on me, Diana." Melissa cried out as Diana pulled her hair. "What is this?" Diana asked, looking at the tiny red light on Melissa's necklace. "What?"

    Two days earlier. In Mr Edward’s office, Mark almost went mad calling everyone on his contact list. As he looked for ways to get Melissa back, David and Mr Edward organized a search team with the police and his security team when Luke Edward barged in. "You have to get out." "Luke!"

When Luke got the information, he instructed his men to take him to their private doctor as he ran to the mansion.

    When Melissa opened her eyes, she glanced from the blue bed sheets to the gray painting on the wall. With her hands and feet tied, she looked around the unfamiliar room. A few minutes later, the door opened inviting in a young lady carrying food and water on a tray, followed closely by one of Diana’s armed men. “Take some medicine for your head.” The lady instructed, handing her the glass of water and a white pill. “Please untie my hands.” Melissa requested which the man obliged to. Then cuffed her left hand on the bed. “Make sure you eat. I’ll come for the plate later.” The lady instructed, after making sure she had swallowed the pill. “Where is Diana? I want to see her. I demand to know if anyone survived the explosion. Hey, where is Diana?” She asked, but no one talked back to her. They left the room, locking the door. Curled on the bed, Melissa stared at the food for a while. Watching the explosion felt like her world had ended. She didn’t want to imagine life without Mar

    Driving from Edward’s mansion with her brother, Melissa got a message from Sasha. She asked to meet at a hotel a few miles out of town for some interior deco inputs on an office she was opening in the States where she planned to relocate to. “I’m afraid I can’t come with you to the company. Sasha wants us to meet for lunch. She needs my help with something.” She informed David after reading the message. “Are you sure it’s okay to meet with her alone? I can take you there.” David said, feeling restless about the meeting. “She is not that bad of a person when you get to know her and I have to be friendly with her for Mark. The two families are very close. Whether I like it or not, she will always be around whenever we go for any of Johnson’s family functions.” She said, trying to ease his worries. “The driver will take you. Be very careful. If you suspect anything, get out and make sure to call me once your meeting is done.” He instructed, still feeling reluctant to let her go a
