“Me? When did that ever happen?” Olivia pointed to herself in utmost confusion. She looked around to be certain if Elizabeth was actually referring to someone else.

“Derek was here?

I wasn't even aware of it.

When did I even have the conversation with him?" Nurse Olivia went further to defend herself with a salient point to prove her Innocence.

She was so good at it that to the point where Elizabeth was starting to doubt her instinct. “Who could have told him if it wasn't you?”

“Could you believe that Derek threatened me to disclose the address of the station where Dexter was arrested? He was so confident and made me believe that someone told him. The only person who came to my mind was you,” Elizabeth confessed.

“You have got to be kidding me. What do you think about me? What about doctor Escobar? Have you ever thought If he was responsible for this? Think about this,” Olivia suggested.

“Holy grail! Of course, it's Doctor Escobar. Now I remember everything. He might have told Dere

    “Come closer,” Walters pleaded with Parker. He made Parker believe he was over Ciara's case, but deep down, he cared the most. He just can't do without Ciara. He wishes to find a way to return to Ciara's house and plead for her forgiveness again. Hopefully, she listens to him and they start their relationship over again.“No, mate,”Parker shrugs off as he pulls himself away from Walters. Despite not hearing from Walters, he already assumed that Walters was never going to make any sense. This goes to show how low he thinks of Walters. “Are you really my friend?” Walters fumed. He didn't expect such an attitude from Parker. He could have sworn that Parker would stand by him in this difficult time. Unfortunately, it doesn't even seem like Parker is loving it. The only reason Parker hasn't kicked Walters out of the car is due to the friendship they share. Parker isn't ready to lose his friendship with Walters. A bond they have shared since they were kids. Unfortunately, Walters is

    “How did it go?”Parker asked Walters the moment he got back to the car. “Bad,” Walters answered with regret. “She passed the test. She was too smart to dance to my tune,” Walters answered. Regret is spreading over his face like a wildfire. He thought Ciara would be a walk in the park for him. He has no idea she would turn out to be so smart. “So when do I get credited?” Parker asked. He was damn excited that Ciara turned down Walter's request to rekindle their romance. When Walters talked about it, Parker was the first to kick against it. He warned Walters about the possibility of becoming wiser than before. Walters doubted Parker. He bragged of knowing Ciara better than anyone. Including Kelly, Ciara's father. To prove his claim, Walters suggested a bet of two thousand dollars. Should Ciara turn down Walter's request, Parker wins the bet.Apparently, Ciara didn't dance to Walter's Tune. He was never interested in Ciara. It was all about the bet. The thought of losing on

    “You know what?You can leave now. I'm done seeing your ugly face around,” Ciara told Walters. She moves to the doorway, leaving it widened for Walter's exit.“Like seriously?”Walters scoffed.He folds his arms and walks slowly to Ciara, staring directly in her eyes, saying, “You want me to leave?”“Isn't that what you've always wanted? Where's this coming from?” Ciara fumed. A while ago, Walters stressed that he wanted to leave. He wasn't comfortable being around Ciara anymore. Suddenly, he saw the need to stay back. That's something Ciara is yet to understand.“Everything changed, Ciara,” Walters screamed at Ciara.His voice was too loud. Loud enough to make her father want to come fight Walters.Unfortunately, Romeo pulled him back, saying, “Don't do that. Let them be. He won't hurt her."“Are you sure about this? I know Walter better than you,” Kelly protests. He finds it difficult to trust Romeo's suggestion. Kelly's hatred towards Walters has made him turn deaf ears to any g

  • Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother   Finding Answers

    “Kidnapped?” Ciara muttered to herself in disbelief. She's yet to believe the words from Romeo. She didn't speak afterward because she was trying to believe what she heard wasn't true. A few minutes after Romeo shattered the table, no one said a word. Not even Ciara, who just received the biggest shock of her life.“Didn't you hear what I said?” Romeo rejuvenated her lost mind. He doubted if she heard him the second time. “Of course, I heard you,” she yelled at Romeo.“I'm not deaf.I just wanted to be certain if that was a prank, and you just proved me wrong,” Ciara uttered further. She moves in her father's direction, seeking more explanation, even though Romeo had already done that. She figured that hearing from her father would further satisfy her curiosity.“Dad, is it true what the person is saying?” Ciara asked Kelly.“Like seriously?” Walters sparked outrageously, reminding Ciara that he needs to leave. He can't seem to understand why he's holding him hostage against hi

  • Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother   My Ex Is Back

    “What's he doing here?” That's the word that keeps coming out of Ciara's lips. She's speaking to Walters, yet she has her gaze fixed on her father. She figured he's in the best position to explain how Walter found his way to their home, yet her father isn't doing anything about it. The last time she checked, his father never liked Walter. A thousand times, he warned Ciara against hanging out with Walters.Plot twist: Walters is in Ciara's home. Many questions in her head are yet to be answered.It's more like the questions won't be answered, judging from how no one has refused to speak.“I'll need to leave,” Walters breaks the prolonged silence that didn't seem like it was ending anytime soon.." Stay back,” Ciara blew hot as she pulled Walters back.She locked the door and hid the keys in her bra. She may be weak from the torture suffered at the hands of the kidnappers. But the moment she saw Walters, she automatically regained her strength again as though she was possessed by a s

    Ciara is still in shock over what's been happening in her life lately.She is in dire need of answers.Answers that can only be provided by George.Too bad George isn't speaking up. She never for once believed that George would come to rescue her from the kidnappers. She is more stunned to find out how much George paid for her release. The question running through her mind is, “Why is he doing this? I am not even his daughter. I don't like him, and he knows about it. And why is my Father not here with him? My father was the person the kidnappers contacted and not George,”As they walked to the car, Ciara halted her movement. Nothing ever makes sense to her.
