The receptionist welcomed them warmly as they stopped before her desk.

“We were the ones who reached out to you on the phone, concerning Mr Ken who was lodging at your hotel last night,” Ryker related to the female receptionist whose face was locked in a smile.

“Oh, Mr Ryker of CTECH,” she awed, getting up from her seat at once.

“We want every information we can get about him. We know this is out of work ethics, but it's urgent. He has a wedding today and he's nowhere to be found,” Ryan explained with enthusiasm.

“Oh, that's sad,” the lady said, picking up her phone. “I'll contact my manager before giving out any info,” she said, typing on her telephone.

The men waited impatiently.

“I'll be back,” she said, walking away.

Not long, she walked in with a man in his early forties, dressed in a black fitted suit.

They all exchanged pleasantries and handshakes.

“From the information gathered by the receptionist, he checked out at around 11:15pm. He was with a lady and they b

    "Ryker, I can't take your shits any longer! I'm leaving this marriage, I'm leaving you!” Vanessa cried profusely as she moved her clothes off the closet.Standing close to the windows of the spacious bedroom, was Ryker, dressed handsomely in a white pair of long sleeve top and black pants. “And where do you think you're going? Hmm, my beloved wife?” He smirked and scoffed with pleasure.“I don't care, Ryker! As long as I'm free from being your wife!” She snapped and continued packing.“You know, Essa,” he called her name in short, moving slowly to her. “You have no family, no place to call home. This is the only home you know. Essa, you can't live without me,” he whispered with a mocking smile as he stood in front of her.She stopped and began to cry profusely.“I gave up my family just to be with you! I gave you my all, Ryker! And what did you pay me for all these years of loyalty?! You paid me with nothing but distrust, cheating and this!” She cried, showing him the scar on her che

    It was a beautiful evening as they both stepped out of the Ferrari parked in front of the clubhouse.She couldn't believe she had accompanied Mr handsome to a clubhouse after so much pleas from him. He seemed new in town and doesn't know his way around.“So here you are, I beg to take my leave,” she said with humility and turned to leave.“Stop,” he ordered from where he stood.“I..I need to be home,” she stammered, trying to avoid those captivating blue eyes.“I know. But your job is not yet done. You'll come with me as my woman,” he said firmly while giving her the usual killer looks.“What?!” She cried, looking baffled.“Yeah, I don't want girls flocking around me. I came here only to have a drink, not for pleasure,” he explained calmly.She didn't know why she felt better, knowing he wasn't here for girls; and the fact that he asked her to be his woman tonight, made her feel better.“Are you in or not?” He asked calmly.“Um..,” she stammered, trying to find her voice.She hated w

    Their eyes met and locked for a few seconds and Samantha's world caved in at that moment.“You!” Ryan pointed his finger as he walked towards her slowly.“What is going on, Samantha?” Ryker asked coldly while taking a slow sinister glance at Samantha who managed to keep her heads high.“”Oh, her name is Samantha?” Ryan laughed and licked his lips in disbelief.This is not happening, Samantha cried silently as she was handed back her flower bouquet by her maid of honor.“Ryan, what are you doing?!” Mrs Clyde yelled and pulled him away. “Are you..are you getting married to my brother?!” Ryan fired with his eyes on Samantha while being pulled away by his mom.“Do you know her? What's going on?” Sophia and Claris asked in surprise.Ryker tried to maintain his cool as he took a slow glance at Samantha again.“Do you know him?” He asked in a slow but angry tone.“I..I..I don't,” Samantha answered quickly.“Why did you drop your bouquet at the sight of him?” He continued in whispers.She fe

    She looked up at his face and realized he was Ryan, the man she had an affair with last night. Her heart cringed and her world caved in as his bloodshot eyes pierced into her eyes deeply. “Last night, we had a fling, and today you're married to my brother?!” He scowled, spewing out hot breath on her face. She stuttered, “I..I'm..I'm..” “No!! You can't be married to Ryker! You can't be my brother's wife!” He raged, looking aggrieved as he pulled away from her. Ryker's dominant voice was immediately heard from the stairs, “What's going on here?” Her feet grew cold, and realizing he must have heard their conversation, she grabbed her wedding dress firmly and took to her heels. “Wait!” His commanding voice made her halt in the middle of the passageway. She stood stiff as she heard the sound of his shoes kissing the ground stylishly. His presence behind her made her turn pale in the blink of an eye. Caressing her left shoulder, he whispered sinisterly into her ears “Wifey, what d

    Her body ached, her eyes sore with tears as she opened her eyes to the noise coming from the large room known as the maids' quarters.Through her blurry vision, she could see the tall, fair skinned middle-aged woman standing in front of her. Her face wasn't visible enough but she could easily tell this was the maid who had brought her here last night.“Madam, you've been assigned to the kitchen this morning,” the middle-aged woman spoke with a calm but serious tone.Samantha rose her head slowly and her short brunette hair could be seen, dangling all over her face.“I'm so weak,” she spoke with a low pitched tone, recalling how she had cried herself to sleep on the cold tiled floor last night.“It's an order from above, unfortunately there is nothing I can do to help your situation,” the lady continued sternly.Samatha licked her dry lips slowly and dragged her body up from the floor. She looked around and could see some of the maids in blue uniforms, sitting on their respective beds,

    Shoving her into the small balcony, he stood firmly in front of her, watching her regain her stance. “Tell me why you married Ryker!” He demanded almost immediately. “Your lips are bruised..,” she cried, trying to touch his bruised lips. He shoved her hands away and she retreated slowly, seeing his indignation. “I wanna know, why did you do all of this?! Why did you marry my brother? Why did you trick the family?!” He raged, his charming blue eyes seething with anger. “How.. can..can I answer all of it?” She stammered, her lips trembling as she stood before his intimidating stature. “I want you to answer me as soon as you're done eating!” He said and walked out. Her hands trembled on the balcony as she watched him return with a tray of food which he placed on the wooden table. “Eat,” he ordered and took his seat on the armchair beside the table. She took her seat and devoured the food almost immediately. “You've been starved!” He said angrily. She didn't respond and continu

They both nodded and ran out at once.Ryker shut his eyes bitterly and then he threw a baleful glance at Samantha and asked, “How dare you show your face?”. Samantha tried to speak but Ryan grabbed hold of her hands and hushed her.“Enough of your nuisance, Ryan!! How dare you step out?!!

    It was a beautiful yet chaotic morning at the Clyde's mansion. Everyone was seen preparing for the big day. Sophia, glamorously fitted in her white wedding dress, was standing before the mirror as her glam team placed her veil over her head. “Still no news from Claris?!” She snapped angrily at her bridesmaids who were all dressed beautifully in pink. “No, her line is not connecting,” one of the girls replied. “Oh, jeez!!” Sophia cried in frustration. The door opened and Claris walked into the room, still dressed in her last night's outfit. “I can't believe you aren't even dressed yet!!” Sophia fired. “Aww, beautiful sis. I'm so sorry, I got a call last night from my boyfriend and he asked that I spend the night over,” she related, feigning pity. “Same invisible boyfriend who never shows his face!” Sophia scoffed. Claris smirked. “So sorry, sweetie. By the way, you're looking, muah,” she teased, blowing her a kiss. “Do you realize you're supposed to be my maid of hono

    They both gasped for breath as they pulled away from each other. “I love you, Ken, please don't leave me for my sister,” Claris cried, holding on to his shoulders tightly. He wiped the perspiration off his face and held her slender waists. “I can't break Sophia's heart,” he whispered to her face. She shoved him away and he sighed as he watched her weep heavily. “I'll see you inside,” he said and walked away from her. She sat on the floor weeping with her hair falling over her face. Just then, she felt a presence beside her. She looked up and saw Sasha standing a few meters away from her. “Hey,” Sasha called gently. “Go away, I don't need you here!” She thundered. “Why cry over that man when you can be like me?” Sasha laughed, sipping her drink elegantly. Claris wiped her eyes and looked at Sasha in an abstruse manner. “What are you talking about?!” She snapped. Sasha smirked. “I saw you guys,” she spilled. Claris jumped up from the floor.

    It was an all white party at the Clyde's mansion. Sophia was having her spinsters eve, alongside her girls. A small family party was also taking place at the garden and members of the Clyde's family were seen partying hard. Ryker walked in, casually dressed in a blue silk sweatshirt and black pants. Alongside him was Sasha, dressed in a white satin sleeveless dress which flowed down her toes. They both walked towards Mrs Clyde who was sitting alongside Aunt Susan and two middle aged women. “Where is baby Ryette?” Aunt Susan asked almost immediately. “Oh, he's with Ryan. He's taken a liking for the baby so much and he wouldn't let anyone come close,” Mrs Clyde related with a smile. The women laughed and Aunt Susan smiled. “That's his first nephew, you should let him be,” she remarked and they all laughed again. Ryker's face pulled into a frown as he walked away from the table where the women were seated. “What's wrong?” Sasha asked, throwing her hair behind her shoulders.

    His alluringly soothing voice was heard, singing rhymes to the baby as they both took a walk in the garden. It was a perfect afternoon and the atmosphere was cool and mild. Baby Ryette, dressed in a black pinafore shorts and white facecap was seen in Ryan's arms as they took a shade under a tree in the garden. Anna was also seen walking behind them, holding a small basket. She spread a picnic cloth on the green grass and Ryan placed the baby on it. “Can he sit yet?” He asked, trying to make him sit. “Yes, he can sit for a while,” Anna replied with excitement. “Ta-da,” Ryan said happily as baby Ryette sat on the grass, and a few set of toys were placed before him. He laid on the grass, watching the baby play. His heart engrossed with emotions and his lips broadened with a smile. He doesn't know this feeling he was getting with the baby. It was a kind of different feeling which he couldn't explain. Ever since he set eyes on baby Ryette, it felt like Samantha was back in

    Ken pulled Sophia into the room and shut the door behind her. He watched her pull away from him and she walked over to the window angrily. “Babe, stop it. Our big day is close, and you shouldn't give yourself a headache,” he said tenderly as he walked closer to her. “I hate Ryan so much. Look what he did out there? In front of the family?! Oh, that's crazy. I shouldn't have told him about Vanessa's death, oh!” She lamented with her hand running into her hair. Ken paused for a moment, staring at her. “You..you know something about Vanessa's death?” He asked. She looked up quickly and made a face. “Um..no, um..I mean, I shouldn't have informed him about her death. Look what he did out there, accusing Ryker of killing both Vanessa and Samantha,” she scoffed. He sighed and sat on the armchair close to the window. “Is there something I need to know about your family?” He asked seriously as he looked deep into her eyes. “Ken, come on. Ryan is sick!” She laughed, shaking her h

    “You look so great, baby,” Ryker teased, watching Sasha brush her long hair in front of the mirror. “Thanks, love. I'm just nervous, knowing Aunt Susan is out there. She gives me the shrills,” Sasha lamented with a sigh. “She's got nothing on you. Don't be scared. As soon as Sophia's wedding is over, I'll let the whole family know of my intention to marry you,” he said, walking towards her. She made a face and turned to look at him. “We..we never really talked about marriage,” she said with a scoff. “I know,” he said, taking hold of her hands. “But I want you to be my bride,” he said with a smile. “Ryker.. it's too early for such..people..,” she tried to speak. “Shh,” he hushed her with his finger on her red lips. “Sas, I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” he said softly while looking into her beautiful round eyes. “Ryker, I..,” she tried to speak but was interrupted by loud voices from outside the building. “What's going on?” Ryker asked, walking to the wind

    It was dim as he walked into the room. He could see her silhouette standing by the window side. “Ryker,” he heard her frail voice calling. “Mother,” he responded calmly. Standing beside her, he took a clear view of her face which was adorned with makeup. She was stunningly dressed in a black velvet dress with a sharp cape neckline. “Where have you been?” He asked grumpily. “Been out with Mr Daren,” she replied with a voice void of emotions. He made a face as he looked at her abruptly. “You've been fucking that lawyer again!!” He slammed, his grey eyes flamed with fury. “Yes, and everything I'm doing is for you, Ryker. I'm giving up my body, my dignity, my peace of mind and my mental health, all for you, my son,” she spoke with a shaky voice brewing emotions. “Mother, just stop!” He voiced out angrily with his hands raised. “Look what they did, Ryker.

Opposite them was Mrs Clyde and Claris, while Aunt Susan sat on a single sofa with her legs crossed elegantly. The lawyer, a middle aged man in his fifties, was sitting on the middle couch, preparing his files. Everyone listened attentively as the lawyer read out the will diligently. “The landed properties, beach club, and real estate both in Zurich and in the United States will be inherited by my only surviving sister, Susan,” the lawyer read out. A warm smile appeared on Aunt Susan's lips and she could see Sophia smiling at her. Mrs Clyde forced a smile on her lips as her eyes met with Aunt Susan. Ryker's face hardened and he took
