The nurse rushed back to know why Susan was calling, only to see that Ashley was awake. Ashley was shaking her head from left to right. The nurse had to inform the doctor on call that night to come and examine Ashley. The doctor came around and examined her. "She is awake, but not fully awake. Don't panic, she will be fine"The doctor turned to Susan "Madam, when she is awake, just give her some water to drink. Also, call the nurse to attend to her""Okay, doctor" The two ladies were left alone. Susan was already feeling dizzy. She almost dozed off when Ashley sneezed heavily. Susan woke up. "Ashley, are you okay?" "My head hurts. It's heavy" She groaned in pain"Sorry, you will be fine. Let me call the nurse"Susan went to call the nurse. When the nurse arrived, she was happy that Ashley was awake. "How do you feel ma'am?""Nurse, my headaches. That is the only place I feel pain""Sorry, you will be fine. Madam, did you give her water to drink as ordered by the doctor?""Oh!

"Ashley, are you okay?""Not at all. My head aches so badly""So sorry, you need to rest"They helped her to lie down on the bed while Susan put on the air conditioner for her. "Please don't bother yourself to prepare for the interview. You already know your capacity. Just try and have a good rest so that you won't find yourself back in the hospital again""Thank you very much. I will try and rest but I will still need to get up and look into some things. You know I don't have to so much depend on myself""Yes, I understand but for now you need to rest. You still have some hours to do that""Susan, let's leave her to rest" Roland chipped inRoland and Susan left the room and closed the door behind them. They went back to their bedroom. "So honey, you haven't answered my question about what happened because I have not seen you in such a mood before. I am so shocked at what happened earlier this morning. So could you explain it to me?""Are we still on this matter? I don't owe you any

Ashley quickly ended the call and left the house. On her way to the hospital, she was thinking deeply. "I just hope nothing has happened to Roland. Susan is too young to be a widow" The car pulled up in front of the hospital and she alighted immediately. "Ma'am you haven't paid me," The driver said to her"Oh! So sorry, I am physically present but absent-minded" She dug her hand inside her bag and gave the driver the money. She dashed into the clinic at the speed of light and moved straight to where she left Susan but, when she got there, nobody was there. The room was empty. "Wait! I left them here, or am I mistaken?" Ashley searched for them in the other rooms but couldn't see them. "Is Roland dead? Maybe he has been moved to the morgue" She asked no one in particular Her heart was beating faster "I hope it is not what I'm thinking" Ashley met a nurse "Please excuse me""You are excused miss" The nurse answered with a smiling face. "I am Ashley, I am looking for Mrs. S

"What do you mean by he escaped?"George was so furious. The boys had luck that they didn't meet him in person, if not he would have sniffed life out of them. "If you tell me this bullshit tomorrow, you won't be alive to tell what happened"He ended the call in annoyance. "Shit! He escaped this but I assure him that he will not by tomorrow. These guys shouldn't mess around with me" George was very eager to deal with Alex. It pained him so much that Alex insulted his class. Truly, George never reached anywhere. He was not of the same level or class as Alex. He never feared that Alex might want to get him. He always thought that he was always smart. "But what does Alex mean by not knowing the whereabouts of Ashley? I am yet to understand that. I will torture him till he tells me where she is" He picked up his phone and called Alex"Hello, this is George on the line. You mean to tell me that you don't know where Ashley is, right?" "You are very lucky that you escaped those boys, i

"Did I hear you say work?" He came closer to her, giving her his right ear so he could hear what she said clearly. "You heard what I said" She kept a stern face looking all elegant in her outfit. Alex was surprised that she had thought of working, but what he didn't know was the kind of work she talked about, and why she was looking suffocated in her outfit. "When, where, how, and why did you get a job?" He wanted to be sure of the job she was talking about. "Why are you asking me all those questions?" She became tensed and was thinking out exactly what she would answer."I am asking because I am surprised that you could think of making something good out of your life, and of course not all jobs are responsible", he said with a smirk on his face. Monalisa felt embarrassed a little bit. Those words pierced through her skin down to her bone marrow. "Alex, these questions are not necessary. Were you expecting me to remain in this house and cook for you like some sort of house hel
