Somewhere in another country known as Palm country, Kris Williams is seen entering a restaurant to have his lunch. He was so famished and needed to eat something.
He sat down, went through the menu and made his order. He was deeply in thought about his family he has not seen for weeks but he was happy that in two days time he will be traveling back home.
While waiting for his order to be served, he looked up and saw an elegant woman who was beautifully dressed. She was looking so beautiful. Kris Williams couldn't take his eyes off. She reminded him of someone who was so close to him many years ago. She reminded him of someone he would have married. Kris blinked his eyes twice and said "Is this not Caroline or are my eyes deceiving me?".
Kris Williams stood up from where he was sitting and went to where the lady sat.
The lady looked up and was really shocked. She recognized him. She never expected to meet him again after so many years. She called "Kris, is that really you?" Kris answered "Caroline, yes, it is me."Where in God's name have you been? It is more than two decades that I saw you. Tell me, what really happened?"
Their orders were served at this point. After having their lunch, they started discussing about their lives.
Kris looked at her and acknowledged her beauty, " Caroline, you are still very much beautiful." He continued " How have you been? Caroline, what happened to us? You really hurt me so much. You left me without even saying goodbye. I looked for you everywhere but I did not see you. I searched everywhere, asked around but there was no trace of you. I was heartbroken and I became an unhappy man. That's by the way, Are you married now?"
Caroline took his hands. She was unable to look him straight in the eyes. She remembered their love life. She remembered how they used to be fond of each other and she said " Kris, I am unable to look at you knowing how much I hurt you. I am really sorry that I left without telling you. Please forgive me. You know after I was accused of stealing by your family when I visited you at your family house, I couldn't bear it. Though you stood by me. You defended me, I am always grateful to you for that but I was so much hurt. I couldn't bear it.
She cleared her throat and continued "The hurtful words said to me by your mother, broke my heart. I didn't want to cause any problem between you and your family, that was why I left. I was also threatened by an unknown woman on phone. She asked me to leave you because two of you were lovers. She threatened my life. On that very day, I found out that I was pregnant for you but the news of you having a lover and the accusation against me, made me not to inform you about the pregnancy. In fact, it was as if the whole world was collapsing on me and I felt that I was going to die. My heart was shattered, the thought of you having a lover, the threat and accusations really broke my heart and when I found out that I was pregnant, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. "
Kris was surprised, "Caroline, you were pregnant? You never told me. Caroline, I loved you. We would have been a lovely family? What happened to the pregnancy? Wait, don't tell me you aborted it. Someone called and said that I am the lover and you believed her without confronting me, you know that I truly loved you and I can swear with my life that I never cheated on you while we were together."
Caroline started crying, " Kris, I was a bad mother. I am not worthy to be called a mother. I did not abort the pregnancy. When my life was threatened. I was scared. I stopped working. I was taking care of myself with the money I saved which was not enough. I delivered a baby girl. A very beautiful baby girl but I had no money to take care of us. I took her to the Orphanage home. I was so sad leaving her there. I relocated to this country where I got married after five years of my relocation. I married a man very much older than me. I married out of love. I had a daughter for him but my husband is now late. After one year of my relocation, I went back to take my baby girl but unfortunately, I was told that she had been adopted. I enquired about the family that adopted her but I was not given a good answer because my baby's file got missing, according to the orphanage home. "
She cleaned her tears and continued, " I was so sad. Kris, all efforts to get our baby back proved abortive. I am a bad mother."
Kris was so sad but he said to her, " do not blame yourself. You are not a bad mother. Tell me, which Orphanage home did you take her to?"
The following day, Elvis informed Kris that they will be having a family meeting at his place. He told him not to fail to come with his wife, Mandy. On the day of the meeting, Kris told Mandy to accompany him to see a family friend. Mandy asked him about the name of the family friend but Kris told her that she will know about him when they get there. When they got to a very big Mansion, Mandy was so amazed about the interiors and everything about the mansion. She knew immediately that the owner must be very wealthy. When they were ushered in by a servant, Mandy could not stop admiring how beautiful the place is. After about ten minutes they arrived, Anita came in with her foster parents. Mandy sighed and asked Kris why Amanda was there too. She asked, "Was Amanda also invited? Why is she here? When did she deliver her baby because I can't see any baby bump? Kris smiled because he knew that Mandy thought Anita was Amanda. Tricia and Caroline came in almost at the same time. She greeted
The following day, at the company everyone was looking forward to welcoming the real CEO. Everyone was busy because from what they all heard from the acting CEO the real CEO does not tolerate laziness.Around 8:00a.m, Amanda was already at the office. Those close to her came to say welcome to her but Ever on the other hand came to mock her. Amanda was happy on how many staff welcomed her back after being away from work for sometime. Ever came to the office of Amanda and told her that she thought that she was gone and was never going to return. She went on to tell her that she knew the reason why she came to the office on that very day. She said, "Look at who we have here. I thought you were gone for good and was never going to return. Now, I know the reason why you are here. You came here today because you heard that the real CEO will be coming today. Well, let me tell you, from what we were told, the real CEO does not tolerate bullshit and no one can seduce him. Look at your
Caroline smiled at Kris and said, " I have been everywhere. Nice seeing you. You look good." She looked at Mandy who was so uncomfortable and restless. She said, " Mandy, it is me. I can't believe that all these years you still look as if you don't feed well. Well, I am here to deliver your parcel to you. Do you mind me giving it to your darling husband?"Mandy gave a fake smile and replied, "My parcel? Well, since you said it is my parcel I don't think it is necessary giving it to my husband. It should be given to me." Kris pretending not to know what was happening asked, "Caroline, I have not seen you for a very long time and now that I have seen you, you got something for my wife and you did not get any for me. When did the two of you become friends? I think I really have to see the parcel to know whether I will partake in it." Caroline brought out the compact disc which was wrapped up in a tick brown envelope. She did as if she was giving to Kris to take a look at it, but
The acting CEO met Ever at the hotel. They ended up having sex. The acting CEO being a wise man knew that Ever was so desperate to be his permanently. He used protection to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Ever was not happy when she saw the protection because that would destroy her chances of getting pregnant. She told him that she likes it raw but the acting CEO told her that it is either she agrees with a protection or he will have to leave. Ever had no other option than to let him have her with a protection. Ever really enjoyed it and she was looking forward to having sex with him always. They left the hotel after having sex.Elvis called him to tell him to send the recorded conversation between him and Mandy. The acting CEO used the opportunity to tell him that he just had sex with Ever. He went on to say that he will not deny that he enjoyed her but the bitch was asking for unprotected sex. Elvis was laughing over the phone and he told the acting CEO to give Ever what she want
Amanda was informed by Elvis that they have to wed at the registry first. Then after that they will celebrate their marriage by inviting people and family members. He told her that his reason is that he doesn't want her to have the babies out of wedlock. Elvis made up his mind to wed Amanda first at the registry because he was sad when he was informed by his man who is acting as a CEO about what Ever said about Amanda. He was really sad that someone called his Amanda wayward. He didn't want to tell her that Ever called her wayward. He knew that the family of Amanda is delaying their marriage and therefore he decided to make it easier for himself and Amanda by getting married to her at the registry. He wanted them to be legally married before the arrival of their babies.Meanwhile Elvis informed the acting CEO to play along with Ever. He knew from what he was told that Ever could be the lady that wanted to set Amanda up. Elvis informed Kris of his marriage plan with Amanda. He
Caroline called Mandy and informed her when next they will meet. She told her that she should make sure not to waste her time. Mandy was tempted to call Louis to track the caller and get rid of her but remembering what she passed through in the hands of Louis she decided not to call him. She was so happy that Louis has not called her for a very long time to demand for money or her daughter. Mandy made up her mind to meet the caller on time and to deal with what comes out of their meeting in her own way. She wanted to see the video herself. She didn't know why the caller was bent on giving her the video but she knew that if she didn't meet the caller as agreed it may result to something she might regret. She was regretting some things she did that made her daughter to stay away from her. She is now a total stranger to her own daughter. She remembered the day she visited her in her school but the only condition Tricia gave to her to accept her back as her mother is to ask for Amanda's
