It took Kelly a hard time trying to find a cab that would drive him back home due to how dark the atmosphere was.
At some point, he was scared that he might have an ugly experience with some thugs, perhaps armed men who were going to steal his money like they did the previous time he went job hunting at George's company.
"Thank goodness I am home now. Never thought I would have arrived home safe like this. I am never going back home this late anymore. I don't care what the emergency is. I am waiting for the morning before heading back home." Kelly soliloquies as he arrives at his neighborhood.
He checked his phone one more time to check the dollar that George transferred to his phone for being a good friend.
Kelly still can't believe his eyes. He thought he was dreaming. All his life, he hasn't received such a huge amount from anyone before, let alone his combined life savings.
"Ciara is going to love it when I tell her the huge amount that my friend gifted me," Kelly said to himself. He couldn't wait to tell Ciara about it.
He thought about calling Ciara to disclose the good news to her. At the same time, he wanted it to be like a surprise. He figured that telling Ciara about it over the phone might ruin the fun.
"I guess I have got to keep it to myself until I get home. This will make her day." Kelly thought.
As he walked home, he felt strange. He heard a voice in his head, warning him about a danger ahead. Sadly for Kelly, it was difficult for him to wrap his head around.
To play safe, he hides his phone Inside his pocket just to prevent it from being stolen by some thugs.
It took him a while before arriving home because he spent most of the time scanning the entire area just to be certain that no one was coming to snatch the phone from him.
On arriving home, Kelly spotted a flower bouquet at his doorstep. He cleaned the dirt off his eyes just to be sure that it wasn't deceiving him.
With slow motion, he stepped forward, picked up the flower bouquet, and smelled it. "Hmm! This is nice. It reminds me of the good old days with my late wife. My God bless her soul."
"Who could have dropped it?" He asked himself after admiring the flower bouquet. He couldn't think of anyone important because the last time he checked, Ciara was out of a relationship and practically single.
"Could It be that she got into a new relationship without telling me?" Kelly wondered.
"That's not possible.
There's no way she would have done that without telling me. She practically tells me everything," Kelly sharply debunked. It didn't take him too long to have a different thought.
He stopped worrying his head and decided to open the door. To his surprise, the door was locked from inside. He checked under the doormat outside where they usually kept the keys and discovered that it wasn't there.
There Kelly stood looking so clueless. He was scared that something bad might have happened to Ciara.
The fear of this compelled him to call Ciara immediately over the phone. A thousand times he called Ciara, but she wasn't taking the calls. Her phone was ringing but still no response.
Something is wrong somewhere. What's happening to my home?" Kelly cried.
With a move too fast, he rushed to the window area to peep through hoping that Ciara would be there. Unfortunately, she wasn't.
Some parts of the living room were dark. It was quite unusual for Ciara because Kelly knew that he wouldn't turn out the lights in the living room unless Kelly was back.
Racking his head, Kelly discovered that they had the spare keys to the house in his possession. It was as though he knew a day like this would surely come one day.
He rushed to open the living room and turned on the lights only to find some male wear and some female wear that looked like Ciara's.
Just to confirm if his instinct Roku wasn't leading him astray, Kelly picked up the female wears and said. "These surely belong to Ciara. If her clothes are scattered like these, it surely means that she's home with a man,"
Ciara, where are you?
Daddy is home," Kelly called out. A few minutes after announcing his presence, Kelly was already regretting making the decision. He wished he had stayed quiet.
"Now she's going to know that I am home. How am I going to catch her red-handed now? Damn!" Kelly cursed himself, and he's the wall in regret.
Like a programmed robot, Ciara tossed off the bed and found herself naked with a mystery man.
"Ouch! My head hurts.
Was I drunk ?" She groaned and nursed her troubled head.
Narrowing her eyes to the other side of the bed, Ciara realized that the man sleeping next to her was Walters, her ex-boyfriend.
She proceeded to check below to confirm if they had sex. It turned out that she had no pants on. To worsen it, her private part was wet. Enough proof that they had sex.
"Oh my goodness
How on Earth did I let this happen to me?" Ciara wept. She tried racking her head to confirm what happened and how she found herself on the same bed with Walters. Nothing seems to be entering her head.
She got tired of guessing and decided to wake Walters up. He was the only person in the right position to explain what happened.
At first, Walters Refused to wake as he kept tossing around the bed like a snake
"Wake up, Walters
This isn't the time to sleep around,' Ciara took it upon herself to hit him. She couldn't deal with his sluggishness anymore.
Oops, it morning already? How was your night? I do hope you had a splendid night's rest?" He yawned. He tried to plant a kiss on Ciara's lips, but she pushed him away.
"George, can you just listen to your son? Why aren't you saying anything about it?" Doctor Escobar asked George for some support. Sadly for him, it looked like George was ready to take sides with Derek. The look on George's face says it all. He might not have uttered a word, but he managed to send a message across that Doctor Escobar understood perfectly fine. He needed no one to explain further."What a show of disgrace. Just when I thought you'd be different from your brother. You turned out worse," Escobar hissed and walked away.Derek wasn't bothered by the gesture towards him. He would rather focus on the issue that brought him to the hospital."Derek, that was rude. After this conversation, you need to apologize to the Doctor. I didn't raise you to be that rude," George demanded and Derek obeyed without any argument. Even on his sick bed, he still has some sort of authority over Derek. "I just found out about Dexter's arrest from one of the nurses. Why haven't you done anythi
It's been over fifteen minutes since Ciara arrived at the address that Walters described, and she hasn't entered the building. She kept calling for Walters to come outside so she could hand him over. Unfortunately for Ciara, he wasn't picking up his calls. It got to a point where his phone reportedly went off. This got Ciara worried and scared at the same time. She regretted ever accepting to return the clothes and wallet to Walters. She only did that just to stop Walters from showing up to her Father's house again like he did the last time. What hurt Ciara the most was the fact that she had to disobey her Father just to come see Walters. The thought of this alone made her not to give up. She was determined to stay back and wait for Walters to return. She wasn't bothered by how long he stayed. She wouldn't want her effort to be in vain.As Ciara waited for Walters, she had her eyes combing the entirety of the neighborhood to ensure that no one came to assault her. "I still don't k
"Oops, it looks like you weren't aware that Dexter was arrested. Damn! Why did I tell you? I should have kept it to myself," Olivia facepalms. She thought Derek was aware of it. Now, she just got herself involved in bigger trouble because Doctor Escobar had warned them not to discuss Dexter's arrest with anyone. "I need to see the doctor or my Father this minute. I will address the arrest of Dexter after. But first, my Father is important. Lastly, don't be scared. I am not going to tell your Doctor that you told me about the arrest. It's nothing for you to worry about. I do understand how significant your job is, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize it," Derek assured. He wasn't ready to kill two birds with one stone."That way, please. That's the road to the Doctor's officeAnd please - don't forget the promise you had made. You know what they said about promises, right?' Nurse Olivia gave up trying to argue with Derek. She was damn convinced that the argument wasn't going to yield a
After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, Romeo stepped outside. At that time, he had already convinced himself that Nancy had gone for good. It was worse than a near-death experience for Romeo. He knew the wife he married and decided to act smart. He hadn't told her yet, and she was already acting like she would set the house ablaze. He can't imagine what will happen when he eventually does. "I just hope I can keep up with this lie for the next 6 months until I get my job back," Romeo prayed. He did a cross sign and went back to bed. The suspension at the station was somehow becoming a blessing in disguise for Romeo because he couldn't call the last time he had that long sleep. Let alone staying at home that long before. It wasn't too long when Romeo went to sleep, and he was already hearing some footsteps in his dream. He thought it was all a dream until he heard someone call his name. "Romeo!" The voice sounded like Nancy's. Instantly, Romeo tossed off the bed as fear grippe
It was just the first day without a Job, and Romeo's life hasn't remained the same anymore. There's a part of him that's missing from inside that he just can't fathom. He would roll to both sides of the bed like a snake due to frustration. He couldn't even summon the courage to tell his wife about the devastating news. He was scared that his wife might react badly to the news or do something crazy. He intends to keep the news to himself for the longest time possible until he's done helping Dexter get out of prison."Honey, I am off to work. I would also drop the kids at school on my way to work. If you ever feel hungry, your food is in the dining room. Love you!" Nancy, Romeo's wife, informed him. She kissed his forehead afterward.26 years of age, light-skinned, curly hair, and curved. They've been married for 10 years and blessed with 3 beautiful kids. Nancy was never supporting Romeo's decision to become a cop. She was scared that he might get shot to death on duty. As a gradua
"Hold on a second! I hope It's not what I am thinking that's running through your mind right now?" She freaked out. "I don't know what you think I'm thinking. But whatever it is, who knows? It might be a beautiful thing. Don't you think so?" Derek winked at Ciara and winked seductively. "Then you must be the biggest dreamer on earth. I don't see that happening. Just so you know, your dad and my Dad had arranged for your Brother, Dexter and I to be married," Like a rocket, Ciara launched the shocking news straight into Derek's heart."What the heck?" Derek exclaimed in shock and pulled over Immediately. "What are you doing? Why did you have to pull over like that? Were you trying to get us killed?""Have you agreed to get married to my brother?" Asked, Derek as he breathed heavily. He was lucky enough not to suffer a cardiac arrest. The news caught him aware. "Does it matter? I haven't arrived at my destination yet. Unless you want me to come down and start searching for a cab,"
