Angelie was admiring herself in the mirror, adjusting the fitted gown below her knee that clung perfectly to her body. Today, she had promised herself to step out of her shell, to reclaim the confidence she had buried for too long. Her reflection smiled b ack at her,a beautiful woman rediscovering her worth.

Flora burst into the room, halting mid-step, her mouth opening and closing like a fish.

"No way, girl! You are about to make all heads turn... damn, you are hot!"

Angelie chuckled lightly.

"You like?"

"I love! Gosh! More of this, no more hiding like a nerd! Your body is on fire."

The words wrapped around Angelie's heart like a warm hug. This was the word she needed.

"Let's go," she said, grabbing her bag, her chin up.

As they stepped into class, all heads turned; her presence made a statement.

"She looks like a goddess," someone muttered.

Angelie felt the heat rise to her cheeks, but held her head high, confident; she was owning it today.

Across the room, Sonia clenched her fists

    Amaya sat on her bed with a soft pillow resting against her lower back. Her eyes were wet with emotion, but her lips carried a smile. She looked at the three grown adults in front of her, Lucas, Bella, and Jeff, her children, and her heart was full."You know I still can't believe it," she said with a small laugh, wiping her face. "I'm a mother of three full-grown adults. You, Lucas, really went too far." She reached out and pulled his cheek playfully. Lucas laughed, not pulling away."I’m sorry," she said, her voice dropping. "I know I haven’t been the best mum anyone would ask for. But I’m here now, and I want to make things right."Jeff moved closer and gently wiped her tears. "Mum," he said, "when you were in a coma, I realised how stupid I had been all this time. I thought about everything. I can't keep living my life holding on to past pain. I’ve let it go, I love you, Mum. I forgave you a long time ago."That was it.Amaya broke down, but this time, it was from joy. She stretche

    Now sitting down, Grandpa Lu looked around the room, then turned his eyes back to Pat.. “I should have done this earlier,” he began. “Maybe the guilt hasn’t left me all these years. You still sent your people to help us, even when you didn’t have to. That means something to me.”Pat folded her arms. “I did it for my child. Angelie’s happiness is my priority, and Jeff… well, he happens to be part of that happiness. So, I just did what any mother would do. It’s nothing.”Grandpa Lu gave her a long look, his eyes showing more appreciation than words could express. “I know, but I’m still thankful. Uriel, your anger is justifiable. I won’t take that from you. But I need to make something clear. I didn’t ask those men in prison to kill your husband. That wasn’t my plan. Yes, I set him up, I won’t deny that. I wanted to scare him a little, make him come back to the company. It was a mistake, one I regret deeply. He was like a son to me, I didn’t plan for it to go that far.”Pat’s eyes narrow

    Jeff was still covered in blood. The red stains had dried on his clothes, but he didn’t seem to notice. He sat quietly, not saying a word to anyone. His face looked blank, but the pain was written all over it. Fred had spoken to him a few times, trying to get a reaction, but Jeff just kept staring into space.Grandpa Lu was lying on a hospital bed nearby, connected to a drip. He needed fluids and strength. He hadn’t spoken much since they brought him in. He was alive, and that alone was enough to calm Morris a little. But still, Morris couldn’t believe what he had seen: Lucas, standing tall, alive, and without a single scratch. It felt like a dream, but he also knew this wasn’t the right time to start asking questions. Right now, his only concern was Amaya. She was the one he couldn’t stop thinking about.He kept pacing the hospital waiting area, walking back and forth like a man who was being chased. Pat had told him Amaya would be okay, that the doctors were doing their best. But th

    "Come, come, I can see you are enjoying my house," Lucas said while smiling. He walked slowly across the room, brushing his fingers over the surface of the table, and frowned. "I hate dusty places, Jimmy. You haven’t changed at all, same old dirty habits."Jimmy stood in the middle of the room, his legs feeling weak. His eyes grew wide, and his lips trembled. He took a small step back, pointing at Lucas with a shaky finger. "You... you’re dead," he stammered. "This can’t be real. Is someone trying to mess with my head? Were you cloned? What is happening to me right now?"Lucas walked up to him and gently tapped his cheek. "It's me, Jimmy, your boss. I’m not a ghost. I’m very much alive, and to be honest, I feel stronger than ever."Jimmy’s eyes went to the orange knife lying near the armchair. He moved slowly, hoping Lucas wouldn’t notice, but Lucas was faster. In a quick move, Lucas grabbed Jimmy’s arm, twisted it behind him, and spun him around. With a low whisper close to his ear,

    Jeff blinked, confused by what he was seeing. "Wait… what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice shaky.Amaya stepped out fully now, and in that second, it clicked for Jeff, the noise from earlier, the strange movement by the kitchen window, it was her. She had overheard them, and now she had followed him.Amaya stepped forward, speaking directly to the masked man, her voice trembling, but clear. "Please... let him go. Take me instead. You can do whatever you want to me. I’ll give you all the money I’ve saved. Just... please, leave him alone."Her voice was close to breaking as she reached for the man’s trousers, almost kneeling to plead. But before she could touch him, he kicked her so hard that she staggered backward. She would have hit the ground, but Jeff was quick. He caught her in time."You animal," Jeff growled, his voice low and deadly. He turned his face to the masked man with rage, "Don’t even think about hurting my mother. If you do, I’ll cut off your balls and throw the

    Jeff leaned closer to Fred, his voice low and careful. "We can’t talk about this here," he said, glancing upstairs. "Let’s meet at home in the next three hours. I don’t want to take chances. Angelie is here, and she might overhear us."Fred gave a short nod, his expression serious. "Okay, I’ll be there."Just then, Angelie’s cheerful voice floated down from upstairs. "Come, my love! I want to show you the magic I’ve created."Jeff gave Fred a small pat on the shoulder. "Duty calls," he said with a half-smile. "I have to attend to my woman now."Fred gave a soft chuckle as Jeff walked away.************Samson opened the door, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Antonia standing there. She wasn’t in her usual pink. Instead, she wore a long black gown that made her look somber and different."Hey… you’re here," he said softly.She walked in slowly, her eyes unsure. "How are you? I heard about Lucas. I’m so sorry, Sam. That must’ve been hard for you.""It’s fine," Samson replied
