"Ms Angela, I am glad to see you again. My brother is looking for you," Elena said and Angela just stared at her. "Are you two going to stand there all day?" Zora asked alternative his gaze between the two."Pardon my manners, please come inside. I mean have a seat," Angela said not sure what to think of Elena's visit but what Zora said about getting some information that will help with clarification of her suspicion also crowded her mind.The trio moved to the living room and Zora excused them so they could have some privacy."So, you are here to convince me to go back to your brother?" Angela asked sitting opposite Elena."Well, you can look at it that way?" Elena replied and Angela raised an eyebrow."What do you mean?" Angela asked trying to get clarification."I came to find out one thing," Elena began."You are the first woman to capture my brother's attention to the extent that he married you and brought you to his home. No one woman had spent the night in his apartment you ar
Zora came downstairs to the living room to inform Angela she was done and she could go take her shower but the living room was empty. She checked the kitchen and it was empty too."Angela!" Zora called out to her as she returned to the living room but she was met with silence. "Angela!" she called out again, this time a bit louder and her gaze fell on the slightly opened balcony door.Zora walked towards the balcony and opened the door. She peeped into the balcony and it was empty. "Angela!" Zora called out Angela's name louder again and her gaze fell on something on the floor close to the railing.Zora entered the balcony and walked towards what she had seen to check what it was. She bent down and realized it was Angela's necklace. She picked it up holding the railing with one hand. She stood up and was about to leave but paused as her eyes caught something. She went back to the railing to look again."OMG! Angela!" Zora cried after looking down from the balcony and seeing Angela on
"What happened to Angela?" Bryce asked and Zora turned to look at who had held her by the arms only to meet the gaze of Bryce.Zora recognized Bryce immediately despite his disguise. She was about to yell at the person who had disrespectfully grabbed her arms but seeing it was Bryce she calmed herself down."She is in the emergency room," Zora replied her face stained with tears."What happened?" Bryce asked. "I am not sure. I went to take a shower and when I returned I couldn't find her anywhere. I later found her lying on the ground motionless," Zora reported."Did she fall or something?" Bryce asked trying to understand what happened exactly."I don't know," Zora said. "We were both inside. I don't even know when she left the room," she added sadly with her head loweredThe doctor exited the emergency room and Zora seeing the doctor walked towards him freeing herself from Bryce's grip.Bryce was processing what Zora had just said when Zora moved. He shifted his gaze in the directi
The officer drew closer and stood next to Elena's body. She was still in the clothes she wore upon leaving the house to find Angelina indicating her body was yet to receive attention from the morgue. There was a clear bullet wound on her forehead. The officer took pictures of that. His gaze shifted to her chest region upon noticing missing buttons and a knife mark at the edge of her jacket which she wore over an inner blouse. The officer, under the watchful gaze of Bryce and Marcus, opened the jacket while wearing gloves. Elena's blouse had multiple knife marks going through it."I would like the postmortem on this body," the officer said to the staff at the morgue. "Mr Moore, my apologies for your loss," the officer said to Bryce. "Who did this to my sister?" Bryce asked the officer through gritted teeth."Mr Moore, please calm yourself. Investigations have started and we will arrest the criminal soon. However, do you have any idea, where Ms Angela Anderson is? I understand you were
Greenwich Village.The Anderson's Home.It was 9 am. Mr Anderson came to the living room, made himself comfortable on the three-in-one sofa and turned on the TV. He browsed through the channels and settled for his favourite sports channel but instead of the sports, there was what appeared to be a kind of service. He turned the volume up to find out what was happening.This is a live coverage of the final farewell for Ms Elena Moore. Well-wishers and sympathizers have already gathered for the burial service. News reaching us has it that the family are on their way to this place as we speak. The whole country has been thrown into a state of mourn since the shocking news of Elena's death was announced. The tragic incident took place a week ago. Ms Elena Moore, the youngest daughter of the Moore Family met her untimely death when she was shot and stabbed multiple times in the chest at 13th Street, in front of Block A. A lady by the name of Angela Anderson was the last person to see Elena
The Moore family arrived at the church. Mr and Mrs Moore stepped out of their car first and walked towards the church ignoring the media who kept asking questions and taking pictures. The guards helped clear the way for them to enter the church. Bryce was next to get down from his car and he was flanked by four bodyguards. The bodyguards stopped the media team from getting close to him as he also made his way towards the church right after his parents. Susan got out of the car and happily enjoyed the media attention despite faking sadness. "Are you Mr Bryce Moore's woman and what can you tell us about his younger sister's untimely demise?" one reporter asked."Yes, I am Mr Moore's fiance," Susan acknowledged in front of the camera. "It is quite unfortunate but the Moore family would not rest until the culprit is arrested and prosecuted for harming Ms Elena," she added making a sad face."Will you do us the honours of letting us know what your name is?" one reporter asked."It seems l
Bryce woke up at dawn, he took a quick shower and dressed up. He grabbed his phone and stepped out of his room. He headed for the staircase and was about to exit the front door when he noticed the light in the living room was on. Knowing everyone was asleep, he curiously made his way into the living room to find out who was there. His eyes scanned the living room which appeared to be empty but his gaze fell on the door to the balcony which was slightly open. He walked towards the balcony and found his mother standing there over the railing with a cloth wrapped around her."Mum!" Bryce called out to her but she seemed to be lost in a deep thought.Bryce got closer to her and tapped her on the shoulder snapping her out of her thinking."Mum, how long have you been standing here? It's only 3 in the morning," Bryce asked."I don't know. I couldn't sleep so I came here for some fresh air," Patricia replied. "And where are you going all dressed up?" she asked after scanning Bryce from head
After a couple of minutes drive Bryce and Marcus arrived at the police station and Bryce went in to speak with the one in charge.Meanwhile, at another location within 13th Street Avenue, Angela and Zora were in a small cabin house downtown. Zora was preparing some breakfast in the kitchen, and Angela was setting the dining area."So you are going back tomorrow," Angela asked as she walked into the kitchen."Yes, I have to go back to work. I took a long leave and it ended this Friday," Zora replied, turning off the fire under the oatmeal she was preparing."I guess I can't return to work now," Angela said sadly."Angela, you saw the news. Everyone sees you as a criminal," Zora said. "Suspect, not a confirmed criminal," Angela said and sat on the kitchen stool. "It feels wrong hiding after Elena was killed right in front of our block," she added. "This rather makes me look guilty," she expressed."Angela, it's not about whether you are guilty or not. Look at your condition," Zora said
"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
