"Tracy! Oh there you are," Louisa said after spotting her friend standing on the balcony of her room."Where have you been? I came here earlier but you were nowhere to be found," she revealed.All the while, Tracy kept her eyes on the rising and falling ocean tides and said nothing."Tracy! Is everything okay?" Louisa queried after noticing the quietness of her friend.Having kept mute for a while, she finally said, "He is here,""He is here? Who is he?" Louisa asked."Who is who?" June, who had entered the room and overheard their conversation, asked and walked towards them on the balcony."Earlier, I stepped out to get some fresh air while you ladies were still getting some rest. That was why you didn't see me when you came here," Tracy mumbled."But I could not get enough air as I was forced to rush back in here," she added."Forced? How do you mean?" June asked."Well, I bumped into David earlier," Tracy said."David? You mean our chauffeur?" June asked."Of course. Which other Da

"This is so unbelievable. That brother of mine does not know when to stop. Why would he ask for a picture with Tracy? What's his game plan?" June asked.They were all back in Tracy's room."He is your brother. You should ask him," Louisa said."Listen up ladies, don't get too hard on yourselves. Tracy is not the Tracy we used to know. I'm sure we have the chance to get this close to her because of the bond we have with her, either than that, we all would probably be in the trenches while admiring her from afar," Mrs Briggs said."From the way people are screaming to take pictures with Tracy, we should all understand that she is not a regular person. There is some premium that rests on her and thus why Charles would dare to ask for a pic. Who knows? Maybe he is also a fan," Mrs Briggs added."I don't want him as a fan," Tracy who was looking furious and seated on the bed said."Sadly, honey, inasmuch as you may have control over certain things, this one does not look like one of those.

"Charles, so this is why you didn't want me to go on that vacation with you?" Fiona asked after storming into the living room."What are you talking about?" He asked."I'm talking about this," she said and smashed a newspaper with the headline,' Is Charles Parker and His Ex-Wife Rekindling Old Flames?' Onto the center table.As soon as Charles' eyes fell on the headline, he asked, "Where did you get this?" "Does it matter where I got it from? Instead, you should tell me what you were doing with that cheap harlot," she fumed, pointing to the image on the newspaper front page that showed Charles and Tracy in a rather close shot photo."Watch your tongue, Fiona, How dare you call her names?" Charles said, throwing up a defense for Tracy."Oh, so you now defend her huh? Why don't you also just tell me that you slept with her while on that stupid vacation of yours?" Fiona swiftly countered her husband."Well, I don't give a damn what you think. I only refunded for you to come along becaus

"So, what brings you here?" Chris asked, seated on the edge of his living room couch."Are you at least going to ask me to come in or something?" Charles asked, standing right in front of the main entrance door to the living room from outside."Why are you making things awkward? You're welcome here and you always have. You decided to stay away from us, so I don't get why you would want to be asked to come in before you do," Chris said.Albert, who had gone to get the tea, returned with three cups of tea and an extra bread and egg for Charles.He placed them on the table and said, "We were about to have breakfast before you knocked. There you go," he added and pushed a cup of tea and bread towards the direction of Charles."Look, that can wait. I'm sorry for everything," he said, trying to apologize to his friends."I know I took things a little personal and overreacted, but I'm sorry," he added in a low tone. Then moved to the couch and sat down.Albert on the other hand was already e

"Tracy, what's going on?" June asked.Tracy was seated on the rooftop of her new house in Purple City, taking shade under a tent while she looked through the city. And intermittently gazed at her phone that was beside her."And why have you come to sit here all by yourself?" June asked."Well, I just felt like coming out here," she responded."But why? Besides, I had to rush down from the studio just to come here because I heard you didn't report to work yesterday and today. What's going on?" June asked and sat on a chair next to Tracy."Isn't it obvious? Can't you see the harm that your brother wants to cause me?" She queried."Are you talking about the news making the rounds about your supposed reunion? Come on Tracy. I thought you'd know better. Those headlines are just hearsay and you and I know that none of that is true," June said."Your role at Channel 24/7 Live is very paramount. So you should not let petty rumors like these weigh you down. You are in the media too and know ho

"What in God's name is the meaning of this?" Albert asked after he reentered the living room from the kitchen.Chris stood in front of the main entrance door gazing at Leonardo who was about to enter the living room."Can you explain to us what this is?" Albert said and lifted his phone to the face of Charles and then to the face of Chris."What! What's this supposed to mean?" Chris asked.Albert had chanced on the news of Tracy and Charles' rumoured reunion that had made the headlines."Charles, what is going on here?" Chris asked and pointed to the screen of Albert's phone that showed an image of Tracy and Charles in a close-up photo with the caption 'Purple Island Wonders: Charles Parker Reunites With His Ex-Wife'"Well, that story is mixed up. I haven't been in touch with the lady in question till I bumped into her recently when I was on vacation with my parents," Charles said."You were on a vacation? Wait, is that why you talk of getting back with Tracy?" Albert asked."What? Ge

"Good day, sir. You're welcome. How have you been?" Mrs Briggs asked Cyril who had come to the house.Out of excitement, she greeted the visitor first when it should have been the other way around."Good day. I've been well and I trust you are doing great as well," Cyril responded."So, what can I get you? There's wine, champagne, juice and there's even food. I made chicken stew with some rice and there's also some fries with chicken. What would you prefer?" Mrs Briggs asked in an excited tone."I do appreciate the gesture Mum, but I'm okay," Cyril responded politely."Oh, son, you can't come to your mother's house," she paused when she realized she was talking too much."I mean I'm like a mother to Tracy and being a friend of hers means I could consider you my son too. That said, I don't think it's right to come to your mother's house without taking anything," she rephrased her expression."I do agree with you, but in all honesty, I'm okay. I had some rice and chicken after work befo

For someone who was part of the media space and the big-time owner of a media outlet, being in the news for the wrong reasons could jeopardize your future.And that was the case of Tracy who was facing a serious backlash from the public.Her recent interaction with fans had gotten her into the bad books of lovers of her show and now she was paying dearly for her actions.She had slapped a fan at the mall and shouted at another for wanting to take pictures with her.And to make matters worse, her staff and workers at Channel 24/7 Live gave her a look when she reported to work."Why was everyone looking at me like that?" Tracy asked Louisa in her office."Isn't it obvious? The recent headlines apart from the one involving your ex have it that you slapped two fans who approached you for a photo and shouted at another," Louisa informed her."You know how this media industry works. Your competitors are waiting for your slightest mistake to strike. And considering your line of actions in re

Cyril had been to the office of Tracy to talk to her. He felt her actions had given their channel some bad press and expressed his displeasure at the turn of events."In all honesty, your behavior has caused damage to us to some extent," Cyril said."Some of the sponsors and partners of some of our shows have threatened to cancel their deal with us if we don't fix the mess," he revealed."Already, one of our main sponsors who sponsors your show has pulled out. They have cancelled their deal with us because of what happened between you and the fans," Cyril further announced."And all efforts to get them to stay proved futile so we had to let them go," he added."Well, I must admit that I have acted so wrong and unprofessionally in the past few days. I let my emotions get the better part of me and the consequences are already hitting us hard," Tracy said."It's rather unfortunate that we have already lost one of our sponsors because of what I did. But I will fix this," Tracy said."But

Social media had been set ablaze after Tracy's last show.From the look of things, her public outcry for mercy over her misconduct towards the fans had been received with welcoming hearts and minds.Perhaps she had a point when she told Cyril that she had a plan because that plan seemed to have worked."I can't believe she had to go through that ordeal at the hands of her wicked ex-husband," one person wrote in the comments section of the Ties That Bind Facebook page."Some men are so heartless and inhumane. You put a woman through hell and you still turn your back and cause her more trouble by faking to be her fan and asking for a picture?" Another also commented."There must be laws in this country to jail people like your ex-husband. I'm sorry you had to go through all that and still have the courage to host a show that tackles relationship issues. I remember seeing the viral video of you falling into the pool and it was disheartening," another person who had seen Tracy's viral vid
