Betty still had the thought of Hayley on her mind. She was bent on finding out all about her that she went to a paper shop after leaving Raul’s apartment that morning. She entered the shop and asked the seller for the old papers to go through them. She sat down and scanned through them as carefully as she could.She spent over two hours searching all the papers she was given but did not find anything about Hayley in it. The seller realized she was concentrating on her search for something so vigorously. She approached Betty and asked with a smile.“Something I can assist you with, lady?”Betty gazed at her a little disturbed and replied. “Yes please…” she paused and licked her lips thinking of how best to place her words so she doesn’t appear like a stalker. “I was looking for the paper that carried the news of some mayor who celebrated a reunion with her long-lost sister. Do you happen to know where that particul

Hayley had developed a strong bond with her sister, Kara. Such that she had never enjoyed even while with her brother, Lucas. She had spent such a long time there that she almost forgot about Stan. It has been a few weeks since she moved over to the mayor’s house and she was enjoying all the privileges attached to being the mayor’s family member.Stan on the other hand went on with his life. Though he missed Hayley and called her often, he did not want to get heartbroken again. He decided to take a few days off into the main city area where he spent a few days trying to entertain himself. He walked into a restaurant to get himself some fast food and relax while he was sober.  Raul approached him to take his order. Apparently, he had walked into Raul’s workplace.He smiled at Stan and took his order. He somehow felt the need to be close to this particular customer, after all, he was almost done with work for the day. He went on to prepare Stan&rsq

Lucas had imprisoned his luna for weeks in the dungeon and has refused to see her even for an explanation. He spends most of his time in Modi’s territory forging a strategy to infiltrate Flint’s territory. They had no idea that Flint and the priest had become very close. They made their plans devoid of Flint’s new affairs. This was a good distraction for Lucas who was suffering from being betrayed.Modi visited his place this time and met him in his lair, looking unkempt. He entered Lucas’ lair, led by one of his minions, and found him sitting on a chair, topless and almost pale. “Hey, Lucas!” Modi greeted him softly.Lucas tilted his head slightly to find Modi standing beside him, looking worried. “Any news of Flint?” he asked.Modi exhaled and sat beside him on a chair. “Haven’t seen you in days so I decided to come to see you myself. I sent word to you but didn’t get any response.&

Raul did not yet develop the courage to talk to Betty. He had not visited Tom and Heather in a while. He was too busy working or worrying about Hayley. He sat in bed at exactly 6 am gazing at the paper that had Hayley’s number in it which Stan had given to him the other day.He thought about calling her but hesitated for lack of words. He did want to call her because he missed her so much and wanted to know what was up with the priest since she was the last one to see him. He ran his hands through his hair because he was overwhelmed. Immediately, there was a knock on the door. He noticed that his friends, Kal and Virgil were still fast asleep so he had to get the door himself.He wondered who it was coming so early in the morning. He took a peep through the door’s peephole and saw Ella standing there. He had almost forgotten about her and their last encounter that almost broke him and Virgil because he thought that he was deceiving and lying to him.

Lucas sat by his luna’s bed every day watching her sleep and regain her strength. He was deep in thoughts and did not see her open her eyes. She turned her head slowly to gaze at him and saw him thinking.“Hey!” she called weakly. “Where are you?”Lucas quickly turned to gaze at her and smiled. “I’ll go get the caretakers so you can get something to eat.” He made to get up when she held his hands gently.“Please stay here with me.” She begged and tried to sit up straight. Lucas helped her balance by placing a pillow behind her to get her to seat comfortably.“There you go.” He smiled and sat back on the chair beside her bed.She smiled at him softly. “Thanks.” She paused to gaze at him. “I haven’t spent time with you in a long while. It feels like forever, my love. Please stay.”“Sure, I’ll be right here with you.”S
