Alison’s POVOn a normal day, you’ll think that you’ll take flight when confronted by a wolf but the feeling isn’t the same when you finally meet one. As it growled at me I froze. What do you do when you are trapped in the groves with a wolf? Do you drop to the floor and play dead or freeze till it walks away? I have no answer for that. I just stood there sweating and trying not to cry.I was so sorry for disobeying Mr. Vandyke, he had warned me against such places at night but I didn’t listen, this was all my fault and now I was going to be eaten by a wolf.Just as the animal charged towards me, another one sprang out of nowhere and they started to fight. I dropped to the floor and shuffled backwards. Trying to get away from the fighting scene.Just then another person appeared. I recognized him as the guard who asked me not to leave. The wolves escaped the moment he appeared which shocked me. Why were they running away from a normal human being like me? What the hell is wrong with t

Alison’s POVThey stopped at Vandyke’s house, not a hospital like I had expected them to. When I saw the building, no one had to tell me it was his. It was massive, like four houses merged together, yet he was single, and Cory didn’t even live with him. Poor guy.I was the first to climb down wondering what the guards were going to do next, they also climbed down and brought his stretcher out, then just like that they set him down in the driveway, dressed his wound, and bandaged it - no hospital.I watched in disbelief as he sat down, though under anaesthesia, gave orders like he hadn’t been shot. Who was this guy? Was he not rather… weird? Who was he?I watched as they placed a sling over his shoulder and then he got up like it was all alright. He swaggered to the entrance and then stopped and turned around, “First aid lady! Come here!” he called out to me, then proceeded to enter the building. I followed him and one of his guards into the house.“Follow me.” He instructed me again

Alison’s POVI got a message that my application to volunteer at the games had been accepted but here was the problem, I had been accepted for both ring girl and first aid. I guess it was my lucky day. I lied about having a background in first aid just to have a better chance at getting on the team because I was afraid that I wasn’t attractive enough to be selected as a ring girl.I took all my ID’s and my next destination was the King’s Carlton stadium which was not too much of a journey from where I lived.“Are you Alison Quinn?” One of the organizers of the boxing event asked.“Yes sir!” I responded.“Good! You can be the ring girl for the first match, go to the dressing room and get some makeup done.” He instructed.“Okay sir.” I replied, followed a group of girls into a dressing room. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Vandyke but there was no sign of him. So I waited patiently for my turn to get my makeup done.I looked at myself in the mirror and gasped, I always thought I wasn

Alison’s POVHis question left me hanging, I didn’t know what to say in response because yes, he was the target but how do you let your prey know that you are planning to attack them? Weren’t you setting yourself up for failure?I smiled, “You’re right, Mr. Vandyke. You are my target.” I paused and folded my arms. “But not for the reason you think.” I mustered courage and walked closer to him. " Your son embarrassed my mother and me, and when I came to the office, it was to embarrass him too at his workplace, but then I found out he was the son of the CEO. It would be better if I embarrassed you instead. I don’t like Cory. I could never.”I lied with so much confidence that I’m sure he believed me this time.“Embarrass me?”“Yes sir, you clearly didn’t raise your son right! He got dumped by a woman and he decided to embarrass her and her daughter at her workplace!” Roberta added more spice to the story. Well, maybe too much spice because the man’s face changed and I could swear his ey

Alison’s POV “To meet Vandyke again, I think you should go to his office with your application letter, tell him you considered his job offer,” Roberta suggested excitedly as if it were that easy. “Don’t forget that I don’t want to see Cory every day, the workplace is a no-go area for me. And besides you should see him at work, he’s 10 times scarier than he was at the club.” I argued. “Then how are we going to meet him? He banned us from coming to his country at night.” Roberta queried me. Roberta and I weren’t close way back in the university, we both dropped out in the second year and we still weren’t close. We both met each other at the same workplace and that’s how our friendship picked up but she has never been to my apartment nor have I been to hers. But look at us bonding over some man we want to trap. “Can’t you forget about Cory and just go to his workplace?…” “Even if I do, I might not get to see him. You know he’s a very busy man, I heard that he barely even goes to th

Ralph’s POV I didn’t know where Charlotte’s shop was, so I had to call one of Cory’s bodyguards. While I waited for a response, Anne linked me again. “Ralph! Where are you? Can you come over? Melody wants to give you another chance.” I chuckled. That lady didn’t make it to my bed, so I expected her to count herself lucky and leave me alone. It looks like she wants to join my long list of one-night stands. Before you say that I’m a bad guy you should understand me. I own a successful company, and I’m a successful politician too. All of this with no wife so I’m the target of most women. Everyone wants to try their luck with me but unfortunately, nobody seems to be a perfect fit, it’s like I am cursed. “Not now Anne, I’m in the middle of something.” I linked back. “Saturdays are your resting days, don’t lie to me. Should I bring her over?” She linked again. Damn it Anne never knew when to stop. It’s like my singleness bothered her more than it bothered me. “Leave me alone before

Meanwhile, back at Golden Springs Cody had left an amount of money in Myra’s account and made her a permanent staff at the C.P. corporation. She had moved in with Tia and Cecil because Cody made her Cecil’s guardian in his will. Tia and Monica dressed Myra up for her graduation Cecil ran around telling Myra how good she looked in her dress.“I wish Mr. Whyte was here to see me graduate,” Myra said as tears welled up in her eyes.“Don’t cry, don’t ruin the special moment Mr. Whyte would want you to smile today” Monica consoled her.“But I miss him… I miss him today more than ever” Myra said fighting back tears.“I miss him too Myra, I cried so much last night, he was like a son to me,” Tia said as a tear dropped down her cheeks Myra hugged her as they cried and consoled each other.“Stop it, ladies! Myra, you’re ruining your makeup!” Monica cautioned them. Cecil ran across the hall shouting “Mama! Uncle Seth is here!” “You see? Now you’re going to be late because you ruined all the m

After Myra gave her account she was allowed to go but Nina was still in police custody. She stepped out of the station and saw Dylan, she walked up to him and exchanged pleasantries with him.“I saw you here yesterday and a few days ago, is Nina your friend?” She asked.Dylan stared at her from head to toe before nodding to her question. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep Nina there any longer, she doesn’t look good” Myra stated.Dylan was surprised by her outburst, how did she know he was there for Nina?“There’s nothing we can do about it, she’s in there for arson” Dylan replied.“I was locked up with her all morning and she told me she was in an asylum once, can’t we use that to help her get out?” Myra said. Dylan’s eyes lit up he didn’t know who Myra was but he was thankful to her. He had no idea Nina had been in an asylum but hearing it now filled him with hope to get Nina out.Eileen stayed in the trailer trying several times to locate Benjy. On the night of the murder, C

Cody’s family swarmed into the investigation room Detective Ruger called for Jamal to bring Nina in. They both came in in a few minutes and sat down, Nina had puffy eyes and so did Mrs. Whyte. She was surprised to see Nina brought in all along she was expecting Myra.“Why is Nina being held in here?” She asked immediately.“She set fire to Cody’s property” Jamal answered.“You? You Nina? You wanted Cody dead?” Mrs. Whyte exclaimed.“Calm down, Cindy” Mr. Whyte patted her on the back.“But I didn’t kill Cody, someone else must have done it and it’s not me” Nina answered crying her eyes out.“Right so I told you about two key witnesses that would help us with this case, I’m bringing one of them in now,” Detective Ruger said and spoke into a small mouthpiece. Soon Dylan came in looking haggard with bloodshot eyes.“Dylan?” Nina exclaimed in shock when she saw him.He looked pitifully at Nina who looked pitifully back at him, he also took a seat in a solemn mood.“The people who killed m

Myra and Tia were in town, Tia had offered to take Myra out to show her around Witting to which the latter readily agreed. Tia really went out of her way to cheer Myra up, she had grown fond of the girl after realizing how innocent she was and how lovely she could be. She really wished Cody hadn’t done what he did to her and this was her way of apologizing to her, when it was getting dark they made their way back to the apartment. Myra they were in the kitchen happily chatting and cooking when Cody came in, no one said a word to him.Myra wasn’t ready to forgive him and Cody didn’t know whether to plead with her or just let her be. In the end, he just joined them in the kitchen trying to get Myra to talk to him.“Myra, do you have lectures anytime soon?” He asked.“Why are you talking to me? I asked you why you were leaving your wife, and you gave me no reply why should we continue talking if you won’t answer my questions don’t ask me questions too” she snapped at him.“Myra, the rea

They had just arrived and they were leaving already Myra was annoyed.“Where are you taking us again Cody?” She demanded a response impatiently.“Myra, calm down we’re going to my other residence then we can talk fully about everything” Cody explained gently.“Why can’t we talk in your house?” Myra inquired angrily.“Because my ex-wife is going there and she’s going to cause a scene if she sees you” Cody explained.Myra fumed angrily “Ex-wife? Cody why didn’t you tell me about all this, she’s not even your ex-wife you liar”Tia reached out and patted Myra on the back since she was seated in the passenger seat behind her.“Myra, can you please calm down for me till we get to our destination?” He pleaded with her.Myra swallowed hard like she had a lump in her throat. She couldn’t believe she had followed Seth all the way to Witting to listen to the explanation of a man who had lied to her. “Myra! What were you thinking?” She asked herself over and over till they got to corn street an

Eileen contacted some of her men to help her get Benjy out of prison. Benjy had broken out of prison before he can do it again with a little push, she thought. At night she sat in an abandoned trailer waiting for Benjy’s escape. This had always been Benjy’s hideout when he had a lot of missions to accomplish so when he finally broke out of jail he headed for the trailer. He was happy when he got to the trailer and Eileen was there waiting for him.“Benjy!” She exclaimed and ran to hug him. He melted in her embrace, it was nice to have Eileen hugging him if only he had been bold enough to tell her how he felt about her, maybe they wouldn’t have been in the mess they were in right now.“Cody is suing me, I thought Rosa’s death would end everything but I was wrong, we were too late he already has all the evidence,” Eileen said.“Is he suing only you or both of us?” Benjy asked.“He sued me, he took advantage of the fact that you were in prison and sued me naming you as my accomplice” E

Luna broke down and wept as Pietro hugged her and consoled her. After she sniffed and composed herself she stared at Pietro and wiped her tears. “I want to write an apology to Cole and ask him to forgive me, I’ll admit my wrongdoing and beg him to not sue me… I’ve already started losing my modeling contracts” she cried.“If that’s what you want I’ll help you write it, anything you want just tell me, and I’ll do it with you” Pietro offered. Luna wiped her tears with a smile on her face and nodded.“Okay,” she turned around and made for her couch,“Won’t you at least give me a hug?” Pietro asked Luna rolled her eyes at him. Brittany was seeing that all her things were packed into Cole’s villa, alongside the new equipment she had bought for her vlog. Fabricio walked slowly around the villa holding his walking stick, it was part of his morning exercise routine to help him recover from his surgery and strengthen his heart. He stopped beside Brittany who was standing a few meters away fr

So Cole had been doing his underground investigation and never mentioned it to anyone? Naya thought to herself she had to applaud him on that one. Brittany stood by her husband as he revealed everything little by little and couldn’t help but admire him even more.“Mr. Williams does it mean that you are not going to accept responsibility for the baby she’s carrying,” Arabella asked suddenly trying to defend Luna even though all odds were against her.Cole stared straight into her eyes and gave her a half smile, “that leads me to the most important video in this entire collection”He fast-forwarded the video to Luna’s wardrobe where there were all kinds of silicone baby bumps starked in there at all levels of pregnancy. “What you see are fake baby bumps Luna purchased to fool me into thinking I made her pregnant… if you think I’m lying I bring in the delivery guy who brought all her purchases and I will show you her receipt of the list of items she paid in the past two months”Arabell

The internet was running wild after seeing Cole and Brittany outside having fun together and were anxiously waiting for a response from the couple. While people were waiting to hear something from the couple, they were fast asleep in each other’s arms. However, their beautiful sleep was interrupted by Naya’s loud pounding on the door. Cole opened his eyes and rolled his eyes, he lay Brittany down gently and got out of bed to attend to the knocker.Naya stormed in looking very angry, “Cole don’t you know how to treat things urgently, how can you be asleep when your career is in danger?”“Ssh my baby is sleeping” he hushed her infuriating her even more. Brittany yawned and sat up.“Now you’ve woken her up” Cole sighed.“God, I want you two to get dressed up and come to my office but at 9:00 we have a press conference to address the public about everything that has gone on and also Cole you’re announcing your return to the holy magic game show as a host”“But…”“No buts you two should

When paparazzi saw Cole and Brittany in public they started taking photos of them. They hurried inside the boutique holding hands.“Cole, was this a bad idea?” Brittany asked as the paparazzi continued to follow them.“Mr. Williams, how do you feel now that your stepmother is in prison?” One reporter asked.“Mr. Williams, is it true that you bribed Brittany to marry you to hide your sexuality?” Another asked.Cole chuckled while holding on tightly to Brittany’s hand.“Some women swear you’re gay when you reject them” Cole mumbled but it was loud enough for the reporters to hear them.“So is it true that you beat Miss Luna up?” Came yet another question.“Miss Brittany Byers, is it true that Cole fooled you with marriage?” One reporter asked Brittany.Brittany stopped and grabbed the mic from him and with a stern look yelled “Cole is my husband period! If you believe what some delusional woman tells you that’s your problem” She dropped the mic on the floor and took Cole’s hand draggin

They both sat on the bed and had their breakfast from the bed tray table Cole turned on the TV while Brittany screamed.“No!”But the TV was already on and there Luna sat in a round table discussion crying and playing victim.“At that time my father was just a lowly foreman of the Bellini farm, we dared not disobey Rania, so I had no option than to blame Cole… it was hard and I was so sad I wanted to beg him but how to do that without reminding him of the past? This is why I kept my identity hidden from him, to protect him from the trauma” she said sadly.Cole’s grip tightened around the tv remote as he closed his eyes in anguishThat’s enough!” Britany said and snatched the remote from him and turned the tv off.“I will kill her! She blamed me because of money how dare she lie about it… I’ll kill her with my bare hands”Brittany cupped his face in her palms and kissed his forehead.“The last thing I need is for you to go to jail okay? let’s teach her a lesson, one she’ll never forge

“I’m envious of my friend. He gets to have such a beautiful gem like you by his side…” Sean remarked.“Sean, why are you here?” Brittany asked and offered him a seat while settling in an armchair beside him.“Bre, Cole was arrested right after we left the hangar on accusations from people he didn’t even know about”Brittany gasped, how come no one told her about it? She wondered to herself.“Is he okay?” She asked about getting out of her seat when Sean touched her hand and patted it gently.“Luna offered to help him only if he married her, she even offered to help him expose Rania to the world … to which he agreed because he was desperate, but guess what”“What?”“When Cole was preparing to wed her he told her to keep it a secret he intended to ditch her after he had exposed Luna but barely had he gotten dressed when he found out one shocking secret”Brittany’s heart skipped a beat, why had Sean stopped talking? What did Cole find out? Was he okay?“Why have you stopped? Talk I’m li
