Mrs Haward stood in the private room looking outside the window when she heard the door open. A smile appeared on her face. She turned to see the person who had just entered believing it was Mr Welligton but her smile quickly turned into a frown when she saw it was one of the staff who had just brought her a cup of tea. "A treat from the hotel's restaurant," the staff said."Thank you, you can leave," Mrs Haward said annoyed, walking back to the window. The young lady exited the room and Mr Wellington entered same time. Feeling she was still not alone, she rolled her eyes and spoke sternly."I thought I asked you to leave. What do you still want with ....." Mrs Haward stopped as she came face to face with Mr Wellington upon turning to continue yelling at the girl she thought was still in the room. "Oh!" Mrs Haward smiled awkwardly realizing it wasn't the lady who had come to serve her the tea and she froze in her spot. "That is an interesting welcome, Mrs Haward," came Mr Wellingto
Julia covered her mouth with both hands and Jason raised his eyebrow. "Yes," Mr Wellington affirmed his statement. "Does it mean their true father does not know of their existence?" Jason asked to understand if James and Mirenda's biological father had not shown up because he didn't know about them or because of the fear of the Hawards. "James's father is no more. He sneaked into the family Condo when your stepmother was pregnant with James and the guards attacked him as an intruder. Unfortunately, he didn't make it out alive," Mr Wellington explained. "I see," acknowledged Jason but he recalled his words again and frowned his brow. "Wait! you said James's father, do you mean to say Mirenda had a different father?" Jason asked to confirm his thought knowing it only meant Julia was the one true Haward. "Yes. As for Mirenda's father, he doesn't know about his child," Mr Wellington said and leaned forward in his seat. "He is not the kind of man, your stepmother will even be caught d
Meanwhile, back in Haward's apartment, Fiona was in the bathroom using another phone to text Vera. Vera, they know. Please lay low for now Fiona clicked send and read on the phone screen 'sent'. She took out the sim from the phone and dropped it into the toilet bowl. She dismantled the phone and started breaking the parts into pieces, dropping them into the toilet bowl. When she could not break the phone any further, she used the toilet plunger to push the bigger parts of the phone pieces away and flashed the toilet ensuring it was clean. "Sweetheart," came James's voice from behind the door. "Yes," Fiona responded walking towards the door but James entered with a smile plastered on his face. "Are you alright?" James asked his eyes scanning the bathroom which appeared to be clean. Nothing is out of place. Fiona walked towards James and hugged him resting her head on his chest. "What is happening to me? Who am I?" Fiona asked her voice very soft and low. "Nothing. You just bu
"You are the very person I wanted to see. We are on," Mrs Haward announced and Mori smiled. "So what next?" asked Mori. "We patiently wait for his call. Anyway, how is it going with Fiona?" Mrs Haward asked. "Something doesn't seem right?" Mori said looking in the direction of Fiona's room briefly. "What do you mean?" asked Mrs Haward as she pulled Mori towards the study. "I know the medication I gave her like the back of my hand. I went online to read about the medication we gave her earlier to make her lose the pregnancy and she is not supposed to get that kind of reaction. Both medications were administered at good intervals," Mori said. "So you mean, she is faking it?" asked Mrs Haward as she closed the door to the study. "Yes. This morning, I went to serve her breakfast. She asked James to send me away which he did. I left the food on the table as instructed by James and left the room. I was on the balcony when I saw a liquid spilt out the window," Mori informed Mrs Haw
Julia frowned staring at the person whose smile kept becoming broader. "Good morning Mr Haward, Ms Harrison," greeted Mary still smiling. Julia looked at her hand and saw she was carrying a small travelling bag. She frowned and briefly looked at Jason before turning her gaze to Mary still wondering what she was doing there with her bag. "Is everything alright Mary?" Julia asked surprised but also concerned. "Yes, everything is fine," Mary replied with a smile. "Okay, so what brought you here this early morning?" Julia asked. "Mr Haward asked me to bring all your stuff together with mine, here," Mary replied still smiling and Julia's eyes widened turning to look at Jason who appeared to be well composed. "Jason, did you ask her to do that?" Julia asked with traces of anger in her voice. "Yes," Jason replied calmly. "Jason, what makes you think I want to move in with you? I have had enough of your bullying attitude. Can't I have the freedom to decide for myself for once? M
The guard called Mori and informed her, that Fiona was coming back. She quickly finished what she was doing and left the room locked. As soon as she entered her room, Fiona also entered the living room and walked straight to her bedroom unaware her room just got bugged. Fiona sat down on her bed thinking of what to do next. "These people brought me here for a reason, and they already know I faked my pregnancy. I need to quickly come up with a plan before they know I am faking my memory loss." Fiona thought. "The video is not enough. I need something more," she bit on her nail in deep thought. "Wait!, Jason, I need to get in touch with Jason, he can do something with this video," Fiona thought and got up from the bed. She walked towards the door and exited the room. She walked into the living room and exited the living room onto the balcony. "Now how do I get in touch with Jason," she thought as she sat on the chair resting her head on her hand folded behind her. At Paradise Ho
Jason nodded and knocked on the door. "Mirenda?" Jason called out to her and knocked on the door again. Henry was standing behind Jason, just inches away, his face full of concern as he waited to see if Mirenda would open the door. "Mirenda, is me, Jason, please open the door," Jason said and they both heard the door unlocking. The doorknob turned and the door opened slightly. Jason pushed it open and proceeded to enter. "I will keep Julia company," Henry said and Jason responded with a 'hmm' before entering Mirenda's room. The room was nicely decorated with a pot of flowers sitting close to the window. The scent from the flower gave the room a refreshing scent. The bed had curtains around it which had been dropped down except for where Mirenda was sitting. She had her head lowered and was holding something in her hand. Her hair was let down and unkept. She looked a little skinny. She had not been eating. Jason stood there for a while observing her. "Mirenda," Jason called out
Back in the living room, Mrs Haward, Mori and James were celebrating Jason losing the Hotel with drinks in hand. The noise of their celebration went straight to Fiona's room and she decided to come out of her room. She wanted to know more about what was going on without asking. "James," Fiona called out as she took slow steps towards the living room where the celebration was going on. "James," she called out again but James could not hear her amidst all the noise they were making with the clinking of glasses, laughter and loud chatting. Fiona walked into the living room and stopped a couple of inches away from the celebrating group, eyes moving from Mori to Mrs Haward and finally resting on James who was pouring a glass of wine down his throat. Mori was first to turn to see Fiona standing just a couple of inches away from them and she frowned. "Let's get some more drinks," James shouted and his gaze fell on Fiona. "Hey, babe, what are you doing there, I thought you were resting
