The next day, Angela woke up with a serious headache. She couldn't get out of bed. She dragged herself holding her head which was pounding like a drum set. She pushed the bathroom door open and entered. She closed the door louder than expected waking Bryce from his sleep. Bryce opened his eyes and realized Angela was not in bed. He turned on the bedside lamp on his side and retrieved his phone to check the time. It was 3. 30 a.m. He frowned and got out of bed. He walked towards the bathroom. He pushed the door open and found Angela standing in front of the cabinet with her elbow resting on the counter and her head resting in her palm."Are you alright?" came Bryce's deep voice startling Angela. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he said and drew closer to her dropping his hand across her back."I just have this head," Angela said her voice very low."It's 3.30 am. Too early. Get some rest," Bryce said and pulled her out of the bathroom and back to the bedroom. He made her climb bac
In the car to the office, Bryce made Angela eat her breakfast. He occasionally stared at Angela who seemed a little off. He blamed it on the effect of the drug used on her the previous night. The car soon drove into the garage and Bryce made the guard and driver get out of the car and help Angela by the arms preventing her from getting out. "You don't look good. Are you okay? Are you sure you don't want to go back home," Bryce asked concerned about her."I am fine. I just feel a little tired. I will be fine," Angela replied and Bryce nodded."Somebody drugged you yesterday. What you are feeling now, might be an after-effect of the drug. If you feel sick at any point, just send me a message and ask the driver to take you home. Don't request an Uber," Bryce said to Angela and she just nodded. Bryce leaned in and kissed Angela on the lips briefly before letting her out of the car. Angela felt a little shy but she was happy. She was attracted to Bryce and it was a reason she agreed to ma
After all that hard work, the first movie premiere was just a day away. They have scheduled another premiere two days after the first one at another cinema. It was the biggest cinema. Angela got everything ready ensuring all that needed to be done had been done. No stone is left unturned. Back at Susan's apartment, Eva had come to visit and they two went into a discussion."Are we putting Angela's pictures up for this movie premiere?" Eva asked."No, let's do that during the second movie premiere. The chosen cinema for the second movie premiere is very big. The crowd will be huge. I understand the paparazzi will be there and some high-profile dignitaries will also be present. It would be a perfect time to put those pictures up for all to see," Susan said and they both smiled."Good, and the news will be published alongside the image," Eva said and they both laughed. Back at Bryce's home, Angela and Bryce had just gotten home. Angela was so exhausted from the day's activities. So mu
Angela was going through the documents shared with her for the second movie premiere. The details of the new teasers, the social media content, etc. She started feeling tired. She emptied the box of drinks and threw a gum into her mouth to keep her focus. She started making some corrections to the document. She finally finished and sent it back to Britney via email. She shifted her focus to ensuring the location for the premiere was secured. She started making some phone calls. Britney was in her office when Angela's email came through to her. She tapped on it, opened the attachment and started going through. The expression on her face started changing gradually reading all the changes that Angela had made to the script. Some didn't make sense and some sounded strange. She was not sure if Angela was talking about the movie. After going through the document she realized Angela was talking about a night she spent with her boyfriend. Britney stood up from behind her desk and decided to
Back at Susan's apartment, Susan received the text message from Diana and frowned after reading it. "Why does Bryce care so much about this Angela girl?" she questioned through gritted teeth. She quickly dialled Eva's number."Hello, Eva," Susan said as soon as Eva answered. "Have you been able to get the information I requested?" she asked."Susan, calm down. I am trying my best here. You are asking me to get information from a security-tight estate. Not everyone is allowed into that estate and you know it. You and I do not know any big shot who lives in that estate aside from Mr Moore," Eva replied sounding frustrated. "You are right. I am sorry for yelling at you. We need to think of a way. You need to get inside the estate Eva," Susan said."How?" Eva questioned."I know someone who lives in that estate you can use. There is a particular club he visits every night to pick up women for his pleasure. Go there and meet him and offer yourself to him. I will give you something to pu
"I came to see Angela," Diana said. "With her achievement in such a short while, I asked her to mentor me. Unfortunately, she is not in her office," she added and Bernard eyed her suspiciously.Her excuse sounded solid but Bernard felt something was up, yet he couldn't put a finger on what that might be. He walked past her to get what he wanted from Bryce's office for the client meeting scheduled for the afternoon.At the hospital, Angela finally woke up and found herself in the hospital. The guard was the only person with her. "What happened?" Angela asked sounding sober."You were acting aggressive and passed out," the guard replied, telling her what he knew."What happened to my hand?" Angela asked seeing the wounds on her hand when she moved her hand to her head."I am sorry ma'am. I locked you in the room because you were trying to get away. You kept hitting the door and that happened," the guard explained.Angela held her head in pain briefly. She was having a splitting headach
Bryce moved back to the guest room and Angela ended up spending the night alone. She tossed and turned in bed. Occasionally, she turns to look at Bryce's side of the bed. It was empty. In the guest room, Bryce was no different. He kept tossing and turning in bed feeling Angela's absence. They both ended up lying down facing upwards and staring at the ceiling. Angela did not know when sleep took over, but when she opened her eyes again, it was due to the buzzing sound of her alarm. She turned it off and quickly freshened it. She dressed up and left the house in an Uber heading for the company. The moment Angela arrived, she quickly took care of her usual morning routine and went to the cafeteria to get Bryce's coffee for him. At the cafeteria, she ran into Diana. "Good morning Angela," Diana greeted drawing Angela's attention to her."Good morning, how are you?" Angela replied smiling. "I am good. Yesterday, I came by your office but I was met with your absence," Diana informed her
Susan and Eva celebrated their success of landing Diamond Corporation its first scandal with drinks in hand. They clicked glasses and laughed heartily.Back at the programme, the whole interview had turned chaotic. While Angela and Don engaged in a heated argument over what Angela had done, the host was doing everything to stop the images from displaying on the screen. The next thing they showed on the screen that threw everyone off their seat was a text message between Angela and someone. The person was angry because Angela didn't give him the role after getting him to go to bed with her.Bryce's car drove into the company's garage. He was so angry all his hair was standing on their edge. "Go to the place of the interview and find a way to get Angela out of the place. Take her home and lock her up in the room," Bryce ordered."Yes sir," Martin acknowledged and Bryce got out of the car.Martin left to pick up Angela while Bryce went upstairs using the elevator. When he got to his off
"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
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
"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 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
