Earlier that day at the hospital, Mr. Dwayne had come to pick up his daughter, he didn't stop thinking about her last night, his sleep was short-lived and so was his wife's, he couldn't wait for the day to break so he could go see her.Getting there, he saw her sleeping peacefully on the mattress, her pink lips closed perfectly and her face looking less stressed.He stared at her with a sigh of relief."Should we wake her up?" James asked him."No, let her sleep, we'll take her when she wakes up, you should leave for the office now," Mr. Dwayne replied." Dan is there already, I'll stay with her till she wakes up, by the way, I did a little research on Bounty fashion last night," He announced." So? " His father asked while leaving the ward." Kloe is buying the fashion line, she plans to rebrand it and make it a Free Fly, and the document of ownership was what they were after last night, " James narrated." What is wrong with Kloe!" Mr. Dwayne exclaimed in shock."How could she buy
"Please take her to the room, I'll go prepare something for her to eat," Mrs. Dwayne instructed James who gave her a reluctant glare."I'm fine mom, I can go to the room myself, I'll go take a shower and meet up with you in the kitchen, " Stacy said.She felt a bit tired just staring at the stairs case, wondering how she'll walk up there made her weaker but she just had to.Placing her hand on the railing, images of last night's weirdly flashed through her eyes and she shook a bit retracting her palm."Are you okay?" James asked her."Yes I'm fine," She replied immediately.She walked up the stairs without placing her hand on the railing, she got upstairs and spotted her room door still locked.Stacy left this house three years ago and this room remained hers, picking up the key from where it hung, she unlocked the door and walked in.She first saw the reading table beside her window and suddenly remembered something, picking out her phone, she dialed a number on it."Hello, I need th
These words went down her eardrum and she couldn't believe her mother was in support of it as well, she wasn't scared of seeing a therapist besides it was a good idea but the thought of everyone thinking that she has a problem sent a shiver down her spine.She doesn't want this thing to become a problem for her, it was true that she was seeing images from last night but she believed she would get over it soon without the unnecessary drama unfolding before every member of Clark's family."Listen, Stacy," Her mother said gently taking her hand and looking into her eyes. "We care about you so much Stacy, it's okay to be traumatized, I wasn't attacked yesterday but I am scared every time I don't see your face, I couldn't get sleep last night knowing you were at the hospital, then what about you?You were attacked, I know you are scared and the best thing is to see a therapist, '"I am not scared to see a therapist mom, I just don't want everyone thinking I am not okay, look at Kloe, she
**Back to Kloe***"Good morning mam," Her clerk greeted her but she was lost in thought and didn't seem to hear anything that was said to her.She was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by one of her employees,"Are you okay mam?" She asked, bringing Kloe back to reality." Yes I am fine thank you, Grace, how are you?" She asked."I'm fine thank you ma, " Grace replied while stretching out her hand to help Kloe with her handbag like she does every day."Thank you," Kloe said to her almost whispering.While she walked towards the elevator leading to her office, two employees conversed in low tones."She doesn't look okay," One said."I know, she is a very happy person, I hope something bad didn't happen to her, " The other retorted."She can't look like this today, she'll be meeting with Mr. Owen,"" Hang on, Stacy was attacked last night!" She exclaimed staring at the notification on the screen."What do you mean?" The other asked her while bending over to see what she was talking about.
She picked up the phone as it rang but couldn't hit the call icon to accept, it came unexpectedly and she wasn't ready for it but didn't want to be rude either and ignore the call.Taking a deep breath, Kloe finally picked up the call, this was her chance and she wasn't about to mess it up no matter how scared she was, what's the worst that could happen besides stammering with her words?But why would she stammer when all she wanted was to meet with him and appreciate him that's all, maybe because now wasn't a good time in her life to do such."Hello," She placed the phone on her right ear."Yes this is Rex Anderson, Mr. John gave your number to me, he said you wanted to talk," Rex from the other side of the phone."Why did John give him my number, he must be trying to help me, "Kloe thought."Yes, thank you Rex for calling, my name is Kloe Duran," She said to him her voice somewhat calm like someone who had no serious issues to deal with."Hello, miss Kloe Duran, glad to speak with y
Kloe quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to look as professional as possible, then she picked up her phone to call the detective."Hello, yes he has arrived," She said "I still have a bad feeling about this but if it's what you have to do it's for a good cause," She added before disconnecting the call.Letting out a sigh, she walked out of the office heading downstairs to meet her clients, she looked calm but there was a huge war within her, she couldn't decide whether or not she wanted to do this.Kloe took another deep breath before exiting the elevator with a smile, she spotted his car outside from the glass windows and nodded her head indecisively."Anything wrong mam?" Her clerk who noticed this unusual behavior asked.Turning to her Kloe replied "Something may happen today that no one is ready for. Just to let you know, a man would come here in like ten to twenty minutes accompanied by police officers, make sure to let them in once he arrives,"The clerk was confuse
She watched the detective walk out of the car in his long black jacket and she knew there was something tremendous going on.She ran back to the counter as they approached the door and took out her phone immediately, she sent a text to Kloe and dropped it briskly before they could walk in."Good afternoon sir," She greeted the detective who walked close to her holding up his card to her face he said."I am detective Briggs, here to see miss Kloe Duran, any idea where she is?" He inquired and her face looked pale, she wasn't ready for what was coming until the notification sound on her phone went off.She glanced at it then back to the detective and replied,"Yes, she is upstairs, I'll take you to her at once," She uttered while stepping out of the counter table and walking him towards the elevator alongside four officers.Those present in the arena all looked perplexed, this was an unusual occurrence to them but if the clerk allowed it, it means she has received an order from the boss
*** Meanwhile***"What is going on Stacy?" Her mother questioned with an expression of worry all over her face.She turned to her mother slowly with tears in the corner of her eyes, while Mrs. Dwyane picked up the phone and gazed at the screen wondering what it was that has sent her daughter into a frightening freeze."Who was it?" She asked again and Stacy went back to the sofa, throwing herself down on it, she sobbed without saying a word to her mother. After about five minutes of silence, she finally spoke up."They are still after the documents," She responded with her voice shaking like someone who just emerged from a cold winter storm without clothes on."What do you mean?" Her mother inquired of her, she was confused as to what Stacy meant by that."They want the contract documents in twenty-four hours else they'll do something else, something worse that they had already done-"That's bullsh*t !" Mrs. Dwyane exclaimed in a rather loud voice."It's all a lie, they have been arre
