Bryce and George turned around to find out who had just spoken. "Susan?" Bryce mentioned her name surprised to see her there, especially after what happened at the Moore family house."Hello Bryce," Susan greeted, finely dressed in a black straight dress, looking seductive as always. She had her head covered with a scarf wrapped around her neck."You have some nerves coming here?" Bryce growled, scanning the environment for signs of anyone hiding somewhere, looking out for Susan."First my condolence for your loss. I had no idea that happened. Mr Moore only wanted to use her to bring you back to your senses," Susan said and Bryce frowned.He almost advanced towards Susan but George held him preventing him from reaching Susan. Susan took a step back seeing Bryce's angry face."If Mr Moore intended to kill her, do you think, he would have kept her there for that long?" Susan pointed out and Bryce growled like a beast who wants to tier its enemy apart."Well, it's a good thing, the guar
"That girl is plotting with Devon to find a way to get Bryce to sign off his inheritance from his father to Devon. Devon was supposed to take care of Bryce and transfer the inheritance to him once he is of age but Devon has failed to do that. Twice, the property has eluded him. He murdered Matthew for the inheritance but Matthew made it difficult for him to get it and now his plan to get Bryce to transfer the inheritance to him has failed. He using marriage now but that is also not working for him," Matilda explained."So why don't he just kill Bryce and the property would be his? I know that is what I would do. After all, it's still a family inheritance," George pointed out."No, it's not that simple," Matilda said. "If Bryce dies, all the inheritance would go to the orphanage. That is how Matthew has made it knowing his younger brother Devon is a cunning one," she said."Oh, that is why he is keeping Bryce alive?" George said."Yes," Matilda replied and the guard opened the door for
Martin ended the call immediately hearing the familiar voice. "People can sound the same on the phone?" Bryce said trying to convince himself what he heard was false."I can help you confirm," Martin said."What do you have in mind?" Bryce asked."It's the weekend," Martin said. "She is just a room away. Go see her and I will call again," he suggested and Bryce gave it a thought."Okay," Bryce agreed.He wanted to see Angela anyway and he was also very sure, the voice they heard was not Angela's. He exited the room and headed for the staircase.He was soon on the floor where Angela's room was. He used the front door and entered the apartment. He then used the staircase and went up to Angela's room. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Zora came to answer as usual."I came to see Angela," Bryce said and Zora nodded letting him in.Angela was sitting behind her desk reading. Her baby bump was now very evident. Bryce pulled his phone out and sent a message to Martin to make th
"What if we buy him to our side? He can help deal with Bryce," George suggested staring at Matilda."I don't want that greedy fool to be a part of my team. He would mess things up for us. We deliver Bryce, get my son back and we will find a way to deal with Devon," Matilda said."Let's have a redemption plan," George suggested."What do you mean?" Matilda asked."We don't want anything pointing to us once Bryce is down, right?" George repeated and Matilda creased her brow listening attentively to George."Yes," Matilda said."Let's not forget who Bryce is. People will start looking into his death once it happens," George said. "Go on," Matilda said."We want Bryce's death to look like he got himself involved with mafias. Helping them with their illegal dealing," George said."I am listening," Matilda said waiting to hear George's redemption plan."Bryce is no fool, he would look into it," George said. "Let's main Bryce's character. Let's use Devon and his beloved," George suggested.
"What is it?" came Zora's voice."Can you bring Angela to my place at the club?" Bryce requested."What!" Zora exclaimed. "It's getting late. How safe would it be with your Devon and Susan's eyes everywhere," she asked."I have new guards at my place. I would let one of them come pick you up in my new car. No one would know," Bryce said."What do I tell Mrs Davis, if she sees me taking her out? Besides, the car won't be silent," Zora said."I am sending two guards over. Just find a way to get her out of the house. I need to speak with her. Please," Bryce begged and Zora was surprised to hear him begging.Almighty Bryce is begging for her help. Zora never thought she would see such a day like this where Bryce would be asking for her help begging like this. She knew Bryce was not a bad person and he truly loved Angela, the same way Angela loved him. The two need to talk and patch this up. She decided to help."Okay, I would think of something. Let me know once the car arrives," Zora sai
The car windows were all rolled up and the temperature was just right. Angela tried to see the city through the tinted window. Zora seized the opportunity and quickly sent a message to Bryce informing him that they were on their way."Hmmm," Angela made a sound drawing Zora's attention to her. "I thought were driving through town. What is the purpose of driving through town if all the windows are rolled up and you can't view the city?" she questioned meeting the gaze of Zora."The air outside is terrible and I don't want you breathing that in. Plus, the window is not too bad to look through," Zora said smiling."Zora, where exactly are we going?" Angela asked, frowning, feeling that Zora was taking her somewhere."What makes you think, I am taking you somewhere?" Zora asked with an awkward smile."Your awkwardness says it all," Angela said. "So tell me, where are we going?" she asked again."Okay, you caught me. I would confess. I miss the club," Zora said."Zora?" Angela called out h
"911, what is your emergency," came the voice of the lady and Zora stared briefly at Angela who was still bent over Bryce's body trying to wake him."No, no, no, don't do this to me, Bryce. Wake up. I didn't mean any of the things I said," Angela cried shaking Bryce's body."Erm, we are at the club and someone just passed out," Zora said on the call."Where exactly is your location," came the lady's voice.Zora gave the details to the lady on the call."Keep calm, help is on the way?" the lady said.Outside, a couple of minutes passed and an ambulance siren was heard in the area. The guard was still in the car watching the club from across the street."Okay, now we have an ambulance driving in," the guard reported."Go in there and find out what is happening," George instructed. "Yes sir," the guard acknowledged and exited the car.He checked for oncoming vehicles before crossing the road using the pedestrian cross. He walked towards the club. He checked the area and saw the ambulanc
The next day, Bryce was the first to wake up. He was happy to see Angela sleeping next to him. He stared at her sleeping face and smiled. He felt some peace within him and for that moment, he forgot about everything happening around him. "This is how it should be," Bryce thought still staring at Angela.His phone buzzed snapping him out of the moment. He quickly turned in the direction of his phone intending to turn down the sound so it didn't disturb Angela. He picked up the phone and pressed the power button, silencing the phone. He stared back at Angela and she squeezed her face briefly before relaxing again. Bryce got out of bed slowly ensuring he didn't wake her. He opened the door to the bathroom and the call ended. Once inside the bathroom, the phone started ringing again. He quickly answered the call to prevent it from ringing loudly again."Hello Sir," came Martin's voice."You better have a good reason for disturbing me at this hour," Bryce said, unhappy that he had to le
"How does this scandal work in our favour?" George asked after updating Matilda with their plan."Angela left home and Bryce followed her after seeing the news. He was furious. He found Angela in an abandoned place, meeting up with a man. He moves in to claim her, maybe just watching her from hiding. Eduardo's team opened fire on him. Bryce dies, Angela gets wounded and Zora dies. No one would believe Angela because of this news. My son comes back home to me," Matilda narrated smiling like things would play out like that.George frowned staring at her."The scandal may be one thing but don't forget the police would investigate," George pointed out."So take care of that. Money makes the rule," Matilda said and stood up. "Everything goes down tonight. No mistake," she added and walked away.Back at Bryce's new place, Angela sat on the bed worried and in tears, while Bryce tried to calm her down. "Everything is going to be alright. I promise to bring Zora home safe and sound," Bryce as
"Hello," came Angela's sweet voice after the guard had redialed her number for the third time."Listen to me carefully, I have your friend Zora here. If you want to see her again and alive, do as exactly as I tell you," the guard said."Who are you?" Angela asked."I am the one who decides what happens to your friend," the guard said. Maybe you think I am joking," he added. George then asked another guard to hit Zora.The guard removed the cloth from Zora's lips and a slap landed on her face making her scream. Another followed the slap and Zora let out a cry."I believe you recognized that scream," the guard said and George nodded asking the guard to continue."Please don't hurt my friend," Angela cried after hearing Zora's voice."That depends on you," the guard said. "I want you to come to a location I am going to give you. At exactly 6 p.m. today, you should be there. Bring cash half a million dollars and I will release your friend to you. Don't get the police involved and make sur
"I just saw Martin at AT&T," Susan said as soon as her call was answered."He is probably getting a new sim for investigation or something. Follow him and find out what he is doing there and what he is up to," Devon said."Okay, " Susan replied. "I will speak with my friend. She should be able to get me that information without a problem," she said and the call ended.Susan found somewhere to hide and kept her gaze on the AT&T shop's exit. She saw Martin step out of the shop. She watched as Martin shoved something into his jacket and walked towards a blank Range Rover. Susan frowned."When did Bryce change his car?" Susan thought but remembered Bryce was with the Davis family now. Susan watched the car leave and quickly emerged from her hiding, her eyes fixated on the car driving away. She stopped a taxi and got inside. "Hurry, follow that Range Rover," Susan said and the taxi driver did as requested.After a couple of turns, Martin noticed he was being followed. Meanwhile, back in
Martin moved the recording to a pen drive and left the apartment. He then got behind the wheel and drove toward the hospital.Back at the hospital, Bryce was still sitting in the ward watching over Angela. There was no one he could trust at this moment. He patiently waited for Martin to arrive so he could take Angela home. To a new place. A place that would be safe for where."Sir, everything is ready," Martin announced as soon as he entered the ward."Great," Bryce said and stood up.He walked to the bed and scooped Angela in his arms. She was still sleeping and he didn't want to wake her. He made Martin cover her with his jacket since he didn't have one. The trio walked out of the ward heading towards the exit. They were soon outside, and Bryce got into the car's back seat after safely securing Angela first in the back seat. He had his hand wrapped around Angela, keeping her comfortable."Let's go," Bryce said and Martin put the car into motion.After a couple of minutes' drive, th
"Have someone follow him. I want to know what he is doing at all times," Matilda said to George, standing up and exiting George's room after he had acknowledged. Outside, Martin stood there for a while holding his phone. He returned to the house and was allowed in. He entered the house and asked one of the servants if Matilda was home."Yes, she is upstairs in her room," the servant replied. Martin thanked the servant and headed for Matilda's room upstairs. He walked down the hallway and stopped in front of Matilda's room door. He knocked and Matilda answered. Matilda was surprised to see Martin behind her door. "Good, I didn't say anything while opening the door. I thought it was George. What does he want here?" Matilda thought staring at Martin like she had seen a ghost."Mrs Davis, I would like to discuss something very important with you. Is that possible?" Martin asked."Sure, I would meet you downstairs in the study," Matilda said staring at Martin like she wanted to read his
"Your room is nowhere on this floor. So what brings you here?" Matilda asked making herself comfortable as she offered Mrs Anderson a seat.It was a bedroom, but it had a mini living room area. Mrs Anderson sat down and stared at Matilda who appeared not to be bothered by her."I came to see you," Mrs Anderson said bravely. "It's getting to 9 am. Angela and Zora are not in their room. I don't know where they went," she informed her."Oh," Matilda said and smiled. "They are two adults. You don't have to babysit them, do you now?" she asked staring at Mrs Anderson."I don't need to tell you what is going on. They are not safe going out alone," Mrs Anderson pointed out."Who said they are alone?" Matilda said. "Don't answer that. What did you hear when you were behind my door pressing your ears to it like a lizard?" she asked."Nothing?" Mrs Anderson replied looking away."Hmm," Matilda said. "That is not what your face is telling me," she said. "And oh look, you are trembling," she poin
Zora sat in front of the TV with a cup of tea as she stared at the screen. She heard a knock on the door drawing her attention in that direction. A smile appeared on Zora's face, she believed it was Angela at the door. She put her cup of tea on the small round table. She stood up and slipped her legs into a slippers she had found in the bedroom. She walked towards the door in her morning coat with a broad smile plastered on her face."Girl, I know you had a wonderful night. Don't tell me you people didn't do the do. I will if I find myself next to an attractive man like Mr Moore." Zora happily said these words as she walked towards the door as if the door were so thin that Angela would hear her on the other side.She reached for the doorknob and turned it to open the door. In her mind, she was already imagining the look on Angela's face. The smile vanished from Zora's face as she came face to face with the person behind the door. Her eyes did a quick scan of the man dressed like a mil
Bryce returned to the room and Angela was awake."How was your sleep?" Bryce asked."I am fine. It's only 6 a.m. Why are you up so early? It's Saturday. You should be in bed resting, looking at what happened last night," Angela said, sitting on the bed while Bryce stood before the closed bathroom door."I am fine," Bryce said, climbing back into bed. How are you and our child doing?" he asked."We are good," Angela replied, earning a peck on her forehead from Bryce.Angela smiled and Bryce planted a light kiss on her lips and she giggled. "Angela," Bryce called out her name and rested his back on the bed headboard. "Please come," he said opening his arms for Angela.As Angela approached, Bryce held her hand in his. Angela folded her legs under herself and stared at Bryce."Angela, I know I have been terrible towards you. I abandoned you when you needed me the most and I believed in the lies that were said about you. I am sorry. Forgive me for calling our child a bastard. Deep down in
