Back in Toronto, Alice dialled Ana's number after 8 p.m.

"Ana, mum just passed out?" Alice said.

"What!" Ana exclaimed sitting on the bed quickly from her sleeping position.

"I don't know what happened but mummy is not waking up," Alice cried.

"I am coming over," Ana said and ended the call before Alice could say anything further.

Ana quickly changed her sleepwear into a straight dress and stepped out of her room. She hastened her steps to the staircase and exited the living room. Ana prayed silently in her head that nothing bad happened to her mother. Amanda saw Ana rushing out but said nothing. She stood behind the railing above the living room floor and watched Ana running out of the front door putting on her flat shoes at the same time.

"Now where is she going to at this time of the night?" Amanda thought and headed for the staircase.

Outside the apartment, Ana headed for the exit gate. Lewis and Perez saw her living and Perez went after her.

    "There is more to this Ana girl than meets the eye," Amanda thought, still trying to hear what Aiden was saying to Ana. Inside Ana's room."As long as you live here, you will live by my rules. Do you understand?" Aiden said."Yes, please," Ana said, with her head lowered."Now what did your mother want at this hour of the night?" Aiden said in a normal tone."My little sister thought she had passed out. So she called me. It turns out, she took some sleeping pills," Ana said and Aiden could understand her reaction but still kept an expressionless face like he didn't care. "You can go see your mum in the morning, but never leave the house without my permission again. Remember, you are carrying my child," Aiden said and made his last statement in a low tone."Hmm, what business does Aiden have with Ana's mother?" Amanda thought hearing Aiden's question which was loud enough but she didn't get to hear Ana's answer and also didn't get to hear Aiden's next statement."And what do you want

    "I am going to choke you to death if you don't answer my question," Amanda said through gritted teeth."Go ahead," Ana said, struggling to breathe. "I know your type, and I know what you are doing," Amanda said and let go of Ana by pushing her backwards. Ana lost her balance and sat heavily on the floor in front of the bathroom door. Ana wanted to get up but felt a pain in her abdomen. She squeezed her eyes shut with her head lowered and in pain, she gripped the floor. Amanda saw Ana's hand gripping the floor and she knew immediately, that Ana was going through pain but ignored her. "The next time you stay in bed, I would have my husband fire you," Amanda said and Ana shook her head in a 'no'. Ana shook her head that way because she was in pain but Amanda mistook it to mean, Ana was objecting to what she was saying. "Did you just say no? I am the madam of this house and you only follow my instructions, idiot," Amanda said and kicked Ana on the side so hard that Ana let out a cry

    Outside, Aiden was sitting in the back seat, now processing what Dr Jerome had said to him, 'Ana had an accident'. "What happened exactly?' Aiden thought unaware the moto rider was following his car. The traffic light turned red and Aiden's car stopped and the moto rider stopped right next to Aiden's car. The person in the helmet, sitting on the motorcycle, turns to look at Aiden's car. When the traffic light turned green, the moto rider moved the motorcycle closer to Aiden's car, like he was going to hit the car, but missed it by a couple of inches. Lewis, upon seeing the motorcycle about to hit their car, moved the car away to avoid the accident and ended up moving into another road lane. This caused other road users to also move in different directions just to avoid crashing into someone's vehicle. The moto rider, unbothered by what had just happened moves in a different direction. Lewis got out of the car, checked the side of the car and looked in the direction the moto rider wen

    "Dad, what brings you here?" Aiden asked, and Mr Scott just stared at Aiden. "A friend of mine called to tell me, he saw you walking into this hospital. Are you okay, son?" Mr Scott said after a while. "Bad eating habits," Aiden replied. "Son, you need to take good care of yourself. Especially, now that you are married," Mr Scott said. "Yes, Dad," Aiden said, knowing his father coming to the hospital had something to do with Ruth. "Let's go home. So you can rest," Mr Scott suggested. "No, Dad. I prefer to distract myself with work. Besides, it is nothing serious. I am fine," Aiden said and they all exited the hospital.Aiden sat in his car and headed back to the office. Mr Scott called Ruth, the moment he sat in his car. "Aiden was at the hospital for himself and there is no record of Ms Morrison coming to the hospital," Mr Scott said angrily. "What! How? She was there at the hospital," Ruth defended. "Did you see her entering the hospital?" Mr Scott asked. "No, but she is th

    "Now you are in my hands. You can rest for today. Tomorrow, you begin your punishment," Amanda said with a smile on her face. Ana was sitting on the bed staring at Amanda as she walked out of her room. Ana was beyond shock but recalling her first encounter with Aiden she felt this unfair treatment was not strange. She lay back down on the bed wondering what kind of punishment Amanda would give her. Amanda upon exiting Ana's room headed for Aiden's room. She got to the door and tried to turn the doorknob but realized it was locked. She immediately frowned. She knocked."What do you want Amanda?" Aiden asked from inside."I want to be with my husband," Amanda said emphasizing the word 'husband' to remind Aiden they are a couple. "Amanda, you wanted to be married to me. And you are married to me, so what more do you want?" replied Aiden from inside. "To feel married. Is that too much to ask?" Amanda asked, sounding irritated by Aiden's reply. "Well, you are feeling it. This is how ma

    "What medication is that?" Ana asked wondering what she was going to buy. "The name is too huge. I can't say it. I was only told the price. Is it that you are doubting me," Mrs Morrison asked, sounding hurt."I am sorry mummy," Ana apologized."Ask Mr Scott. I am sure he can loan you some money," Mrs Morridon suggested."Mum, that will be too much. I requested a huge sum of money from him not long ago. I cannot ask him for that much," Ana explained."I know but my health will deteriorate if I don't get the medication," Mrs Morrison said, sounding like she was on the verge of tears. "I understand, mum. I will get you the money by morning," Ana assured her with no clue where to get the money. Back in Toronto, once the call with Ana ended, Alice went into a celebration mood. She hugged her mother, Mrs Morrison. "Now you can go do your shopping," Mrs Morrison said to Alice. "Yeah," Alice said happily.Back at Aiden's private apartment, Ana was lying on the bed but could not sleep. She

    Back at Aiden's apartment, Ana was done with the cleaning of the bathroom. Amanda gave Ana, the heavy curtains in her room and that of Aiden's to wash with her hands. Ana said nothing but sat down with a bowl in front of her and started washing eight double curtains with her hands using cake soap. Her hands were getting sore with the rubbing but Amanda would not let her go. Ana finished washing the clothes after 1 p.m. Amanda tasked her to iron all her clothes in her closet. Ana just stared at her. "Move and get to work. You have one more bathroom to scrub and you will be done for today," Amanda said as if that was a consolation. Ana went into the ironing room with hangers and started ironing. Her feet were hurting and she had not eaten all day since she woke up at 6 a.m. At the senator's office, Mr Scott was going through a rehearsal for his first public appearance. "Are you ready?" Mr Thatcher asked. "I think I am," Mr Scott replied with a smile. "Great, let's go," Mr Tha

    Inside Amanda's room, Amanda's phone was on her bed while she was lying in a hot bath. Her phone buzzed with a notification but she didn't hear. Aiden entered the living room and frowned seeing the TV was on and no one was watching it. He turned it off and headed upstairs to his bedroom. Aiden opened the door to his bedroom and was greeted by a scrubbing sound coming from the bathroom. The curtains in his room were also gone. He frowned wondering why the servants would choose to clean his room that late. He headed for the bathroom and opened the door to find Ana on her knees scrubbing the floor with just water. "What are you doing?" Aiden asked."Cleaning," Ana replied after pausing on the scrubbing.Aiden noticed her hands were all red. He drew closer and grabbed Ana's hand to examine before he could stop himself. Ana was still on her knees but upright looking at Aiden. Aiden looked at both of her hands and they were all sore. "Why are you doing this?" Aiden asked letting go of Ana

    He recognized her immediately and hugging Ana, he called out to the woman. "Monica?" Aiden called out causing Monica to freeze in her steps. Monica turned slowly to face Aiden. The two guards who were following her just moved to the side. Aiden was surprised to see Monica with guards and wearing expensive clothing complimented with expensive jewellery. Last they spoke on the phone, she had only confirmed she took money to divorce him. Was it because she found someone richer than him? This was the thought on Aiden's mind as he stared at Monica while hugging Ana with a cold expression. "Mr Scott, I understand you hate me right now. All I can say is that maybe we were not meant to be. In front of you right now is a woman with a heart of gold. Please take good care of her and protect her from your enemies," Monica said and Aiden frowned. He was with Monica and knew her very well. He understood the meaning of her statement despite the obvious and he frowned. "Are you saying someone thr

    "Ms Ana boarded a taxi. They have picked up the details of the taxi. They will contact the driver and find out where he dropped Ana," Mr Jayson said and Aiden ran his hands through his hair. "Just calm down, we will find her. The good news is those who would want to harm her are all in prison. She is safe," Mr Jayson assured. "No, I have one more enemy walking free. Even if there is enough evidence to put him in prison, he is still walking free," Aiden said. "How dangerous is this person?" Mr Jayson asked and Aiden gave the question a thought. Mr Harper may be cunning and a pervert but aside from stealing money, he will not really consider him as one who will use knives and guns. "Never mind. I think I am just worried," Aiden replied. Mr Jayson's phone rang again and his gaze shifted to the phone. He answered it and brought the phone to his ears. "Great," he said and ended the call. "They found the driver. He dropped your wife off at the park. They are on their way there," Mr Ja

    Meanwhile, Ana after resting for a while, packed her stuff and left Aiden a note as she made her way towards the exit. She then gave the apartment one last look and rubbed her belly as she walked out the front door. "I stayed back in your time of need to ensure you're restored to your former glory since it was at my side you lost it all. Now that you are back to the level where we met, you don't have to guilt yourself into being with me. I hope you will understand," Ana whispered to herself as she walked towards the gate. She checked her bag to ensure she had enough cash on her. In her mind, she was planning how she was going to live on her own. No job, no roof over her head. Well, this was her life before she met Aiden except she had the woman she thought was her mother and a little sister. They all lived in a small apartment but now she was all alone. She walked out the gate but stopped when she heard someone calling her. "Ma'am, do you need me to help you with your bag?" aske

    "Let's get out of here before the media gets here," Aiden said and got behind the wheel with Ana sitting next to him. They drove out of the compound and Aiden took Ana to his private apartment downtown. He parked the car in the garage and walked through the front door into the apartment. The last time they were there, they had to come through the back door and hide in the underground apartment. "A lot of work needs to be done here," Ana said. "Yes, but we will not live here. I prefer the apartment on the hill. It is close to my estate business," Aiden said. "So what is going to happen to this apartment?" Ana asked leaning on the side of Aiden and Aiden's hand was wrapped around her. "Clean it up and put it on the market. I already have too many apartments. I reduce them to two," Aiden said. "Okay," Ana said and Aiden walked Ana to the sofa. "I need you to get some rest. Some people will be here in the next 10 minutes to put the house in order. I have to take care of something

    "Now all I need is a good lawyer to wiggle my way out of this mess and leave this state after I have united Aiden with his parents," Mr Scott thought. Aiden returned to Mr Jayson's office and closed the door behind him. He walked towards his desk and made himself comfortable with a smile plastered on his face. "You got a confession out of him?" Mr Jayson said looking at Aiden. "I told you I would get a confession out of him," Aiden said. "My father was right, he only learns and becomes smarter after multiple fails," he added and pulled his phone out of his breast pocket and played the recording to the hearing of Mr Jayson. "We don't need the results from that DNA. This confession is perfect. Great you thought fast. If not we will have to start a search for Mr Andrew Scott's body," Mr Jayson said. "I am surprised though how he managed to bury the wrong body in the presence of all," Aiden said. "That is easy. The body was carried from one point to another in a vehicle. Within that

    "We have the world's attention. We can go out now. We go to court with the rest of the evidence to claim what is rightfully ours," Aiden said holding Ana's hand in his. The two exited the underground apartment and went out of the building. Aiden requested a ride to the courthouse. At the court, Aiden filed the case to begin the lawsuit. Aiden requested protection following the multiple attacks on his life and that of his wife and it was granted. At the president's office, Mr Scott was sitting on the sofa with the president who was not at all happy with what was going on. "Mr Scott, do you mind explaining what is going on between you and Aiden Scott?" he asked. "Mr President. Believe me. It is just a family misunderstanding which had gone out of hand," Mr Scott said. "If I remember correctly, Aiden Scott's name was dragged all over the internet, losing his business, his marriage in shambles and some rumours that say he is not your son. Now you are in the news and you have been ca

    Mr and Mrs Scott's eyes widened as they listened to the news. The news started spreading like wildfire and everyone asked where Mr Jeremy Scott was if he was still alive. "No, no, this is not good," Mrs Scott said with eyes widened. Mr Scott fetched his phone, dialled a number and waited for the call to connect. "I thought you said you were controlling the media space," Mr Scott said through gritted teeth. "Yes, but believe me. I don't know how this got out there. I have my eyes everywhere but I didn't see this one," the person replied. "I am working on it but someone is posting the story when I take it down," he added. "Do something about it," Mr Scott said and ended the call but his phone rang. "I am going to the office. I will get this taken care of before it gets out of hand," Mr Scott said and exited the room. "As usual I have to take care of everything," Mrs Scott scoffed as soon as her husband exited the room. She fetched her phone, dialled a number and waited for the c

    A medical practitioner who was at the entrance saw Mr Jayson falling to the ground and he ran to him calling for help. "He had been shot," the man shouted as held Mr Jayson in his arms. A stretcher was quickly brought out of the hospital and he was carried into the emergency. Meanwhile, Aiden and Ana were both waiting for Mr Jayson to return. After waiting for a while, Aiden decided to go look for him. As soon as he opened the door, the doctor who had provided them the space was standing behind the door. "Mr Jayson was just shot outside the hospital," the doctor said. "What?" Aiden exclaimed "By who?" he asked. "We are not sure but we are suspecting a snipper," the doctor replied. "Stay here, it is not safe outside," he added and left. "They know we are here," Aiden said to Ana. "We can't stay here. It is only a matter of time before they find us. Let's go I know what to do," he said and they both stepped out of the storage room and headed in a different direction. Aiden saw

    "When and how?" Aiden thought as he walked towards the bed and sat on it thinking of what to do. He exited the room and went to the balcony. He held the railing and stared ahead of himself. He leaned on the railing and turned to look at the space behind him. He looked briefly at the light bulb hanging from the roof and he realized it had been changed. The bulb had a camera now. Originally, the bulb had that black ring at the base but it was just for decoration. Now the black ring appears to have a focus. "So this is how the person is watching us," Aiden thought and exited the balcony and saw Ana entering the living room from outside. "You went for a walk?" Aiden asked. "Yes," Ana replied. "Without me?" Aiden asked walking towards her. "I am sorry, I didn't want to disturb you," Ana replied and sat down on the sofa. Aiden stood behind her and massaged her shoulders for a while. Ana immediately felt relaxed. Aiden's phone buzzed with a message and he stopped massaging Ana's sh
