Ivy spent the next few days bonding with her dad and everyone else. She was having the time of her life since both her dad and Mrs. Harlow showed her so much love, but it wasn't the same in Charles' house. Each time she went there, she'd get fed up and want to leave because of Raya. She came to the house virtually every day and wouldn't stop talking about Hannah. Ivy didn't like her because she acted so possessive, as though she owned Charles. Raya even offered to become Ivy's best friend, but Ivy said, "No, I already have a best friend." Raya acted offended by it, but Ivy couldn't care less. Charles, on the other hand, was nice. He always tried to change the conversation each time Raya brought up Hannah, but Ivy wished he'd tell Raya to give them some privacy. She'd come to the house in the morning and stay till evening, making it impossible for them to spend quality time together. It had been three days, and Ivy hadn't seen Charles because the last time she was there, she barely

Bastian walked toward Amy and turned her so she could look at him. He moved closer to her and cupped her cheeks, "Why, Amy? Why won't you give me another chance?" However, Amy pushed him away, "Get dressed and get the hell out of my house, now Bastian. Do not get any wrong ideas. I only let you in because I did not want you to make a fool of yourself outside. Now you've used the toilet and the bathroom, please leave. Do not take my kindness for granted."Bastian surprised Amy by going on his knees. He said, "Listen, Amy. I promise you that I am innocent. I was set up. I didn't do anything with Tina. It was a set-up by Ann, and I've dealt with her for doing that. I wanted to deal with Tina as well, but I had to hold back because she's related to you. If you give your consent, I will deal with her as well. I can make her miserable for the rest of her life. Amy, I never touched her, I swear on my life. I have never loved anyone but you. Please give me another chance. I promise to do t

Amy sat across from Maria, staring at her as she talked nonstop. However, Amy's mind was occupied; she had no interest in what Maria was saying as she kept thinking about how Bastian had begged her, kissed her, and made love to her. "So what do you think?" Maria asked bringing back her attention. "About what?" Amy asked. "About what I said," Maria replied. Amy said, "Oh, well, I think it's a good idea. It makes sense." "Really? Yay!" Maria screamed. "I should call him now." "Call who?" Amy asked. "My boyfriend, duh. I'll just tell him to let his brother know that you're interested in dating him too." As Maria took her phone to dial the number, Amy got up and knocked her on the head. "Don't be silly. What is wrong with you? Don't you know I'm still married to Bastian?" "But you're getting divorced," Maria said feeling aggrieved. "Besides, you just told me that it's okay. Why are you overreacting? You know I just want you to be happy, and I'm doing everything for your own good,

Mabel got ready for school in the morning and said goodbye to Amy. Maria had left earlier, mentioning that she had a lot to do and needed to arrive at school early. Mabel waited a little longer until it was almost a few minutes past eight. Eventually, she said to Amy, "I need to go. I would've called Armstrong, but I don't think he's done with his meeting, and I don't want to disturb him. He must be very busy, so just take care of yourself, okay? I'll see you later." Amy replied, "All the best," and waved her goodbye. After Mabel left the house, she walked out of her street to hail a cab to school. However, she spotted Bastian in his car, honking to get her attention. He opened the door and stepped out when Mabel turned away from him, rolling her eyes. "Hold on, Mabel," he said. "What do you want?" she snapped. "I just need to talk to you," he replied calmly. "I have no interest in what you want to say," Mabel replied. "Do not come close to me or try to speak to me." She turne

Amy and Armstrong arrived at the police station, lodged a complaint, and had Courtney arrested. However, despite how much she was interrogated, Courtney cried and denied the accusations. She agreed that she had threatened Mabel out of jealousy. She had initially gone to convince Mabel to give up on Armstrong, but then Mabel rubbed her engagement to Armstrong on her face, so she became jealous and her outburst was a result of that, but she did not mean it. Ever since she left Mabel, she had been making arrangements to leave the country. She showed them her flight schedule and told them that she was to leave in two days. If she had kidnapped Mabel, it means she would've still been planning to get Armstrong, but she had already given up on him.As Armstrong stared at her while she spoke, he couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or lying. She was someone he had dated for years, and he had trusted her so much back then. But after she cheated on him, he came to the conclusion that he
