" What? Why?!" Kendrick exclaimed and immediately sat down on the nearest chair. He was currently in Las Vegas with Alex, Padma, and Syd. They had information from their detective directing them to the hospital Brie was admitted to when she got attacked. They had just found out that Cerys and Anika paid the doctor to give Brie her painkillers that caused memory loss. So instead of her gaining her memories months after her surgery, she still wasn't remembering anything at all. " Why they did that Mr. Adams, I cannot tell. I am so sorry that I had a hand in this but I was forced to do so. My family was being threatened at gunpoint," he begged. Syd and Padma were shocked at the news. Why the hell would Cerys team up with the devil herself after pretending to despise her? " Brie once mentioned to us that she saw Cerys and Anika at a coffee shop, sipping coffee and chatting like long-lost friends," Padma spoke up. Kendrick remembered an incident where Brie left home and spent time with h
" Hey, um call me back when you get this voice message," Anika said after her call went through to voice mail. She had been trying to reach Aryan for the past two weeks, yet he was unreachable which made her worried.Had he gone back home with his wife? He would have said something before he left. Where could he be? she asked herself pacing up and down the living room." Your boy toy suddenly grew the balls to leave your sorry ass, didn't he?" Malayah asked from the top of the stairs smoking a cigar." Excuse me?"" Don't play dumb Anika, we all know you are cheating on daddy dearest," she tsked walking towards her room without waiting for a response from Anika. Malayah was starting to be a thorn in Anika's flesh and she was beginning to hate it. At the moment, she was worried about Aryan and not Malayah's nonsense. ~~ " Kendrick doesn't want to see you, get out," Syd said as soon as Sage entered the office. " Hi or hello will do Syd," she replied with sass walking toward the table.
" Syd!" Running up to her at the tracks, Nicholai called out. Alex was about to approach her but turned around to go back to his car when Enzo called her. "Hello," she said, inhaling his cologne. He smelled like citrus, lavender, and wood. The combination of his cologne was divine. "Good race," he said with a smile. "Thank you, but not as good as yours," "You race exceptionally well for a woman, even better than some men. You will improve over time "He went on to say. "Thank you, I'd love to stay and talk but a friend is waiting for me," she turned to face Alex, who was nervously tapping his foot on the ground while typing on his phone. "I'll call you when I get home," he promised as she approached Alex." Is everything alright?" she asked him." Yes, "~ " Kena, you should have seen how he behaved towards me. It was as if he hated me with passion," she told her friend over the phone. Makena was fed up with Sage and her problems already. It was always one problem after the other,
"Can I have more time to think about this?" Aryan asked as Sage briefed him about her father's terms and conditions for his inheritance. "Okay, but don't take too long. Time's ticking," she said as they walked into the bar. 'It is a great deal but how will Anika take this news?' Aryan thought to himself as they sat at an empty table. ~~ " Am I dreaming?" Brie asked herself as she stared at her phone. Her inheritance which she had been fighting tooth and nail for had finally been transferred into her account. ' What changed the mind of her father to send what rightfully belonged to her?' she thought to herself as her phone rang. It was an unknown number and she was hesitant to answer it but finally did after a few seconds of mastering the courage to do so. " Brielle," her father said through the phone after seconds of a breathing competition between both parties. " Dad?" " Have you seen the alert yet?" he asked panting. " Yes, but where are you? And what is happening?" she aske
" That bitch!" Padma exclaimed as Kendrick broke the news to her and Syd. " I am still confused. She got married and had kids, so why obsess after a man who doesn't know of your existence?" Syd asked. " I don't know baby girl, but what I know is that none of them is getting close to my wife and my family. I've swore to protect her and my child no matter what it takes. I lost her once.... and I am not going to loose her again." he said to her. Syd was happy at how her brother had become more matured and she was proud of that. " Exactly, but remember what Malayah said earlier, as we are all protecting her we shouldn't let her feel lonely, don't make her fee that gap. So as much as we are watching out for her, we should be there for her every step of the way," Syd added with Padma nodding in agreement to what her friend was saying. " Speaking of which, I gotta go." Padma spoke up. She had not seen Finn in a while and he just texted he was coming over to her end. " That's fine Padma,
" He actually signed them?" she whispered as she held her divorce papers in her hands. She wanted Aryan to come to her and explain what was going on but he chose to take the easy way out like the coward he always has been. " Coward!" she screamed as she slid down the wall crying. Their wedding day replayed through her mind as if she was watching a movie. How could he throw away something so beautiful as their love? Unless he had been faking everything from the onset. " Millie?" Aaron called her name whiles knocking on the door. He turned the doorknob and realised the door wasn't locked in the first place. He let hmself into the house as he looked around to see if he could find her. He heard gentle sniffs and sobs from the kitchen and hurriedly headed there. She was seated on the floor with her back leaned on the wall as she let out sobs. " Hey...are you okay?" He asked as he squatted beside her. She wasn't able to utter a word and handed him the papers Aryan had signed while he carr
Valerie stood infront of her mirror holding the pregnancy test that showed positive. Yes, her father was dead but he had already stated in his will that she needed to get married and bare him a child before she could acess her share of his inheritance. " Step One complete. Step two underway," she said to no one in particular. Her father's death came as an added advantage to her. " Think of the devil, and he shall call." Valerie said as she picked up her phone to answer the call from her baby daddy. ~ Padma paced back and forth in her hall. It had been weeks since she last spoke to and saw Finn, and she decided it was time to bury the hatchet. It was time they called a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Brie was right. She really didn't have time for the relationship she had with Finn and that wasn't fair on his part. Her anxiety peaked as soon as she heard the doorbell ring. It rang once, twice, and on the third ring her househelp rushed to get the door. "Hi, is she in there?" Fin
Brie stood beside her husband, and friends as she watched her father's coffin being lowered into the ground. Kendrick gently squeezed her shoulder for support. She had her fists balled as she saw Sage, Cerys and Anika shed crocodile tears. This is what they had wanted from the beginning and now they were pretending to love him? Seriously? " As much as I want to strangle them, they're his family too." Malayah said joining her step-sister. "A family that shouldn't have happened in the first place," she scoffed. " I hate them more than you do. But things will fall in place soon, sooner than you expect," she smiled at her. " Am I interupting something?" Anika asked as she approached them. " Were you trying to?" Brie raised her brow. " Hotheaded as usual. I thought marriage or perharps the accident would have changed you," she said making Kendrick visibly angry. " Too bad that didn't go as you planned," she slightly tilted her head smiling deviously at her step-mother. " I shouldn'
