After a long day at school, Amyrah jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped in the compound. She couldn't wait to play with the new remote control car Damian had got for her. Amyrah dropped her bag on the her bed immediately she got to her room and slipped out of her uniform. She wore something casual and pulled out car under bed. She walked to the drawer and her face lit up when she saw a bright red remote and a a cat with sleek tires and a powerful engine.With a wide smile, she grabbed the car with anticipation bubbling inside her. She couldn't wait to see it zoom across the floor with speed.She placed the car on the ground and pressed the power button on the remote. The car sprang to life with its wheel spinning eagerly."Cool," she smiled dropping the remote for a while to grab her phone. She unlocked it and turned to the front camera. "Hello guys, it's me and I want to show you the new awesome toy my…ummm...adoptive father, Damian Makari got me," Amber said with a bright s
As Maya lay in a fitful sleep,the sudden deluge of cold water jolted her awake. As the icy water cascaded down her body, she gasped for breath, shivering from the uncontrollably from the temperature of the water and shock. Her teeth was chattering as the icy tendrils of water seeped through her dress, chilling her to the bone. The shock of the cold was like a thousand needles were being pierced through her skin. Confusion and fear clouded her mind as she tried to comprehend the cruel awakening.Her heart raced, pounding against her chest to the point that she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat. Her breath caught in her throat, small gasps escaping her trembling lips. The coldness stepped through her,numbing her senses and leaving her trembling in the depths of despair. The witness clung to her skin, making her vulnerable and exposed. But before she could react, two officers were dragging her out of the room. "What's going on?" She asked in a panicking state. They ignore her
Damian legs instantly felt weak, he couldn't stand anymore and as he stumbled, Ron quickly caught him. He led Damian to one of the benches and helped him sit. "Sir…are you ok? Is everything alright?" Ron asked, concern drawn all over his face. "What was the call about? Is everything ok?" Ron fired Damian with questions but he answered none. He just looked at Ton with silent tears streaming down his face. "I messed up," he finally managed to say after a long silence. He was feeling an overwhelming surge of guilt and sadness. "What do you mean you messed up?" Ron who was confused asked. "My grandfather is still alive Ron, he's still alive," Damian said, raising his voice slightly."What? How? That's good news sir," Ron said with a bright smile. "It is but…..""You can celebrate because you put your wife in the hospital bed right?" Maddie sneered, wiping the tears off her face. "Maddie..." "Shut up Ron!" Maddie said firmly, cutting Ron off. Her gaze shifted to Damian and he could
"Is that true?" Master Dan asked Damian and he nodded slowly. "I'm sorry grandpa," Damian mumbled. "Sorry? How could you be so irrational? Why didn't you think things through? Maya is your wife and you know she'd never do something like that, goddamnit Damian," Master Dan sighed, looking at Damian with disappointment."I want you to fix this and make sure my daughter in law comes home. I don't care how you do it but make sure you fix this," Master Dan said angrily. This is the first time Damian had seen his grandfather angry in years. The jovial, smiling Master Dan was gone and had been replaced by an angry one. The place turned silent as they waited for the doctor to tell them something. They all grew anxious as the clock ticked. They didn't know what was going on there but they all hoped it was something positive. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the city and yet there was still no news. Damian's heart was growing heavier by the second and he kept pacing around the hallw

Oliver broke down after Master Dan's lecture. He cried and begged Master Dan to forgive him. He showed extreme remorse for his actions. He turned to Damian and begged to help him make things right, but Damian just looked away, he wasn't going to buy that act. He knew Oliver was just doing that so he wouldn't end up in jail. "What makes you think I'll believe this act of yours?" Damian asked coldly. "I know you won't believe but I'll turn over a new leaf. I'll be that brother you always wanted.""I never wanted a brother," Damian cut him off sharply. "I won't try to bail myself out of here. I deserve it and I'll stay in here and pay for my crimes but there's something I need from you," he said, his eyes fixed on Damian. "What?" Damian asked, taken aback. "I want to hand over all my properties to you. I want you take everything and I know you're going to take good care of them. I'm sorry I choose money over family and I want to make sure I change completely."He paused and looked a
Ron looked at the man in front of him, who had buried his head back in a stack of documents and a sigh escaped his lips. He had become a shadow of his old self since his wife died three years ago. He had now become distant and cold, just like he was before he got married. The day his wife died, it was like a dark cloud had descended over the entire family. He was lost in his own grief, unable to find solace and move forward. The office became tense and morale plummeted. Damian would snap at anyone who annoyed him. Everything had gone back to the way they were before Maya came into their lives. Damian, who wasn't able to stay in the house located in the city moved back to the isolated house his grandfather had built. The house wasn't far away from the bustling city and was surrounded by thick tree and bushes. The child they adopted was sent out to a boarding school in the United Kingdom, where Master Dan lived. The bond between the grandfather and grandson died gradually and it was
It was a recent photo of a woman who had a striking resemblance to his dead wife. She was smiling radiantly and she looked well and alive. Damian blinked several times to make sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. Because he saw his wife, he was there when she was buried and he never left the corpse's side. He saw her lying lifeless in the casket. So who was this woman?Maybe it's because he just had an emotional breakdown or so he thought but reality kept hitting him in the face. Confusion and disbelief flooded Damian's mind. How could this be? Was this a cruel prank or a case of mistaken identity? He couldn't shake off the feeling that it was indeed Maya in the photo.If she wasn't dead then whose funeral did they have? How did she leave the hospital? We're the doctors aware of it? Did they have a hand in this? Why didn't she reach out to any of them these three years? Was she really happy with the life she was living? Had she forgotten about all of them? Questions after quest
