[DREXTON'S HOUSE]

Drexton was sitting on a chair, staring upright as darkness enveloped him. The room was eerie in the darkness as the lights were off. The only light in his room was the reflection of the diamond watch that gleamed in his hand.

His eyes were shut as he played with the strap. He was well aware that what he held against Ixora wasn't because she attempted to steal his watch.

The watch being kept in his office that day was just to trap her and make her think he hated her because of the watch. He knew she was in dire need of money that day for the surgery, but he needed something to make her fall into his trap...and she fell right into it without realizing.

He wouldn't deny that the watch wasn't important to him—the watch was his life, the source of everything he owned now.

His life was meaningless when compared to the watch. He rubbed the surface of the watch as he went down memory lane.

    [OUTHOUSE]Ixora got to the house and, as expected, she saw the place shrouded in total darkness. She immediately got drowned in fear. Her heart thudded so loudly against her ribcage that she could hear it."Hello!" she called out, but only her voice answered, bouncing endlessly through the dark.Her phone chimed. Without bothering to check her phone, she knew it was Drexton's seek me message. She began finding her way through the dark. Trying to find Drexton was like trying to hunt down a ghost, because no matter the amount of effort she put in, she couldn't find him."Urgh!" she groaned angrily."Just stop this already," she mumbled."Try harder," Drexton's voice rang out, reverberating through the wall like a dark warning.Ixora gasped, her heartbeat increasing rapidly, each thud louder than the first.An idea suddenly struck her. She could find him by tracing his voice. All she needed was for him to speak again.She gathered some courage. "Where are you?" she asked."It's a game

    [IXORA'S HOUSE]"Check the CCTV footage. I know whoever did this wanted me to back out of the election. It must be one of the opposition parties," Georgia said and hung up the call.Since they got back from the campaign ceremony, she had been making unending calls. She would do anything in her power to get to the root of those trying to bring her down in the election.Ixora stood in a quiet corner, looking at her mother as she paced around. Her palms were folded against her phone as she recalled what happened at the ceremony.****[FLASHBACK]"Mom!" she screamed and knelt beside her mother."Somebody call the ambulance! Mom, open your eyes!" she placed her hand under her mum's head.Georgia's eyelids flickered open as she darted her gaze around."Mum!" Ixora helped her sit up.Georgia coughed."Get me water!" Ixora yelled.The water was handed to her."Here, drink this," she said, uncorking the water and helping her mother drink it."Ma'am, what happened to you? How did you end up her

    [HELL DEVIL'S HIDEOUT]"Where in the hell is the raisin?" Maddox asked, coming out of the kitchen with an apron tied to his waist."Chef Madd," Jaxon teased when he saw Maddox with a glass bowl and a whisk in his hand.The white lights were the ones that were turned on instead of the red lights."Don't start," Maddox warned, whisking as he took his eyes to Drexton, who was standing close to the freezer."The raisins?""You are the only one who uses the kitchen," Drexton replied, uncorking the bottle of water."Right," Jaxon took a bite from his apple as he climbed down from the top of the couch."Mad dicks," Maddox cursed and wanted to go back inside the kitchen when..."Right this way, sir," a female voice said—a voice they would be able to recognize any time of the day. Ixora.She led the police officers in."Sir, these men here are the Hell Devils," she said, and that was when she looked at the guys.Drexton with a bottle of water in his hand—Maddox looking like a total chef—Jaxon

    [8 AM, IXORA'S HOUSE]Mr. and Mrs. Castellan were in the dining room, having breakfast with Blake, who had come to visit Ixora."It's nice to finally meet you in person, Blake," Georgia said."Thank you, ma'am, it's also an honor to meet the first lady," Blake smiled."So, when did you return?" Smith asked."It was last night. Actually I didn't want to sign any autographs or take any pictures at the airport, that's why," Blake replied politely."And I wanted to surprise Ixora... I know she'd be shocked to see me," he added.The smile on Georgia's face fell. Blake noticed it."Aunt, what's wrong?""Where do I start?" she sighed. "Something is wrong with Ixora, I am sure of it. I know we don't get along, but I gave birth to her, and I know when she's not alright. She is surely hiding something from me," Georgia explained.Smith looked at her."Where is she and why hasn't she come down for breakfast?" he asked."Last night, I went to her room, and she wasn't anywhere to be found. I even

    [CAIUS' HOUSE]Caius sat on the sofa reading from the newspaper about the Hell Devils' new attack and the death of the Viren's. Lorraine was staring at something on her phone. Bonnie barged in and stood in front of her father. She crossed her arms over her chest."Dad, who's Ixora Castellan?" Bonnie asked.Caius sighed and dropped the newspaper, but he ignored her."I'm talking to you, Dad," she snapped."Show some respect, Bonnie, I'm still your father," Caius cautioned."Yeah, whatever, just tell me who the hell is Ixora Castellan?" she asked again."You've never cared about anyone but yourself and Drexton. What changed? Caius asked."I don't give a damn about her. I just want to know how close she is to Drexton, and why he stared at her when I went to visit him in his office," Bonnie frowned as the incident resurfaced in her head.Lorraine looked up from her phone when she heard Bonnie's last statement."If Drexton truly stared at her, I think you should direct your question to Drex
