"Oh my God. No, no, no, it can't be," Amanda said waking Marcus up. "What happened?" Marcus asked. "This can't be true," Amanda said breaking down in tears. Marcus got down from the bed and walked towards Amanda who had her head on the table in tears. Marcus saw she was going through the files she had picked from her former apartment. He saw the picture of a woman and a child. And he saw the image on Amanda's screen and his eyes widened. "Oh, dear Lord. This can't be," Marcus said looking at the two images. The one on Amanda's laptop and the one on the file. "Why did my father do this to me? Couldn't he have told me this earlier? He had to write on a piece of paper and hide it in a safe for when he was no more. Now look what I have done to my sister," Amanda cried. Marcus stood frozen looking at the laptop screen. He was also involved in all of this. He carried out Amanda's instructions. If anything he did. "Come to think of it. She did have some resemblance to Amanda but how co
Aiden moved away from the window and fetched his laptop from his bag, turned it on and sent all the evidence proving Amanda was the one behind the murder of Ana's family and Mr Smith to the chief of police. Back at Aiden's former apartment, Marcus fearing danger was trying to convince Amanda to leave town to which she was adamant. First, she was not interested in marrying Aiden until she met him. She was mesmerized by his handsome features and hearing about him. He was influential and rich. Having such a man as a husband will make her look good. She was somehow disappointed when Aiden made her sleep in a separate room and all her efforts to sleep with him failed. She was beginning to think Aiden might not be into women until she saw how Aiden looked at Ana. This was what necessitated the investigation of Ana. She wanted to know who this Ana girl was even though Aiden had introduced her as head of the servants or something. To her shock, she had found out Ana was pregnant and she was
"Are you going to help me with my plan or what?" Amanda yelled on her way out and Marcus just followed her out. Outside inside the car, Marcus got behind the wheel and Amanda gave Marcus a destination. Marcus stared at her briefly and moved the car. At Aiden's private apartment on the hill, Aiden after sharing the information with the chief of police, kissed Ana before leaving home for the office. The project was ongoing and with Mr Harper gone, he needed to be around to see to the work. When he arrived at the office, the person he spoke with was already there waiting for him. "Bryon, good you made it. I believe you are done with your interview?" Aiden asked. "Yes," Bryon replied and followed Aiden to his office."The reason I brought you here is simple," Aiden began. "I need someone to be on top of security. With everything going on, I need someone I can trust to do that. This is why I asked you to come," he said. "I understand," Bryon replied."Your onboarding will start tomorro
Aiden took it from him and realized it was locked. He did something and unlocked the phone surprising Lewis. He checked the phone but there was no indication of communication between Lewis and anyone. He gave the phone back to Lewis. "How did they find where I live?" Aiden thought. His phone buzzed while he was lost in his thoughts. He checked and it was from the hospital, where Perez was on admission. He answered it and brought the phone to his ears. "Hello," Aiden said. "Hello, Mr Scott. I just called to let you know Mr Perez left the hospital," the doctor reported. "How was he when he left the hospital and what time did he leave the hospital?" Aiden asked. "Aside from a pain in his left leg which may cause him to limp, he had made a full recovery. We took him off his last medication four days ago," the doctor reported. "And he discovered this morning he was no longer in his bed," he added. "Was it a kidnap or he left on his own?" Aiden asked to confirm Amanda had not picked u
There was a little struggle as Aiden tried to disarm Amanda. The police arrived at the scene at the same time as their sirens were heard coming from afar. The gun went off and Amanda and Aiden both froze in place.Ana stared at the two standing before her. Aiden took two steps backwards holding his stomach. He looked at his hand which was stained with blood as Amanda examined herself still holding the gun. "Aiden," Ana called him in a whisper, her eyes quickly filled with tears."Ana," Aiden said as he went down on one knee and the next knee followed with one hand stretched towards Ana. Aiden fell face down and Amanda turned pointing the gun at Ana. She took some steps backwards towards where Aiden was lying. With the gun still pointing at Ana, she forced Aiden's head up pulling him by his collar."You are not gone yet," Amanda said almost kneeling next to Aiden. "Now watch as I put a bullet in between her eyes. You can take that memory with you. My generous gift," she said and pulle
"Brother, what happened to you?" came Ruth's voice and Aiden just rolled his eyes. Ruth moved closer to Aiden's bed and sat on the little space left on the bed. Mr Scott stood at the foot of the bed and Mrs Scott sat on the provided seat. "Brother, I know I have not been the best sister. I found out, when I was 12, you were not my true brother," Ruth said. Aiden remember he and Ruth were very close but she changed when she turned 12. Listening to her, he now understood the sudden change in behaviour, the competition and her scheming attitude. "I thought you would take everything away from me and leave the family once you find out you don't belong," Ruth said fidgeting with her hand and her lashes lowered. "I allowed the family wealth to crowd my judgment and never paid attention to all the good you did for me. I am truly sorry," Ruth apologized looking very honest. " I am also sorry for framing you up at the hotel. I was the one who changed the status of the approved bill just so
The head doctor opened his drawer and brought out a small medication in a box. He picked up a syringe and placed it on his desk. He put on his overcoat and placed the syringe and medication into his pocket before exiting his office and heading for Ana's ward. Upon getting to Ana's ward, he looked around as he entered. Ana who had been abandoned to the room with no medical attention turned to look at the doctor. The doctor stopped in his steps and looked at Ana. He was just an arm stretched away from Ana's bed. "What is wrong with me?" Ana asked in a low voice. "Since I was brought here, no one had come into this room to attend to me aside from a woman who brought me food. What is happening?" she asked. The doctor stood there looking at her. Something broke inside him hearing Ana's voice with the look in her innocent eyes. He walked towards Ana's bed and examined her. Her pulse was weak. He pressed the bell and other medical doctors entered. "Quickly put on the machines," the head d
The head doctor looked away unable to watch the scene. He had come intending to carry out Mr Scott, Aiden's father's instructions but he couldn't. That innocent look in the eyes of Ana broke something in him. He wished he had taken better care of Ana. "Ana, please don't leave me," Aiden whispered on her lips and his tears fell on Ana."Aiden," Ana whispered and her eyes opened. The heart monitor which had flat-lined picked a beat."She is back," the nurse who was about to put off the heart monitor shouted. The doctor quickly got closer, helped Aiden to the wheelchair and attended Ana. He opened her eyes and flashed the light in her eyes. They started putting the machines back on and placing an oxygen mask on her. The lab technician walked in with part of the lab results unaware of what had transpired earlier. He handed it over to the doctor. "Get me blood from the blood bank," the head doctor said after going through the lab results the lab technician had brought, informing him the
