It took a while before Chase returned. He looked dejected and sad when he got back to the sitting room. Jace was waiting for him to return and hear what Richard's reasons for calling him were. But didn't expect that his brother would look so down and unhappy. He glanced at him and the latter stood, gazing at him with a hostile gaze. He understood that he would be unhappy when he heard that he got a restraining order against Arianna. But he could talk to him rather than looking so sad and dejected. "Is anything the matter, Chase?" Henry asked. He saw the two brothers gazing at each other. The elder with an expressionless, poker face and the younger with a hostile one. "She's in a coma. She attempted suicide. Thanks to you for the restraining order" Chase declared and glanced at his parents, "A friend is dying, I need to see her" he said and turned around to step out. "I hope you will be able to explain this to Eli one day, if anything happens to his mother" he

In Richard's lounge, he got a dress for Genesis and told her to take a shower. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she didn't see Richard in the room. She was glad he was out as she cleaned her body and changed into another dress. She didn't come for relaxation but to keep a watch over her friend, hence she didn't put on a night dress. She made her hair into a ponytail and waited for Richard to come back. An hour passed before he eventually returned to check on her. He saw that Genesis was still awake. He chuckled and asked "aren't you asleep already? Well, I came to check on you" he said. "What about you? You should rest" Genesis gestured for him to come over but Richard said no. "I'm fine. I will have tomorrow off. I will rest however I want at home" he answered. "Fine. Wake me up after two hours" Genesis requested. Two hours later she would go and check on Arianna and then come back and lie down. "Okay. Do you need anything else?" Richard asked and Genesis

Jace felt relieved. He glared at Eduardo with a poker face. Without saying a word, Eduardo knows he has to continue with the news he's began explaining "But when we went to investigate, it was a deserted crumbled building whose major part had collapsed…" A week passed and Arianna was back to herself again. Chase called her to ask her when she would be resuming and was shocked when Arianna told him that she is not interested in working with the Hudson's holding anymore. She would find a job elsewhere. The truth was that she doesn't want to cross paths with that arrogant 'powerful Personality' surnamed Hudson. The threat was getting too much. Jace's bodyguards were fully armed and the latter was seriously involved in investigating who the scoundrel might be. But that afternoon, he told Chase he was going for lunch. He had a deal to seal and the contract was a multi million dollars deal. He cannot stay confined to a place. Not all deals can be done through a zoom.

The news of the attack was being transmitted on social media. The CCTV footage of the whole scenario was being played. Everyone saw how Arianna shoved Jace aside and got shot instead. Fear gripped Chase and immediately called his brother. He was on call. But as soon as Jace was through, he called Chase back. "Chase, it's Arianna. She got shot. I'm afraid, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Arianna because of me. She's being taken to the hospital. I am heading towards the hospital now. Please meet me there. I would have been dead, Chase. But Arianna saved my life and risked her own life instead…" Jace was shivering. When he hung up, he removed his blood drained suit leaving only the shirt on. Jace's shirt was drenched in sweat. Despite the chilling air in the car, Jace's temple was covered with beads of sweat. Richard called Genesis and she answered "How's Arianna now, I hope she's still breathing?" Gene

Everyone stood up quickly and drew closer to Richard. His eyes went red. Genesis' tears were already running down her cheeks. "No, doctor, she can't die. Use the chest compressor, resuscitate her, do anything you can. In fact I'm stepping in" Richard pleaded. He placed his hands down and glanced at the theatre. "What happened? Is Arianna fine?" Jace demanded. Genesis pulled Richard by his upper arm and was sobbing profusely "Richard save Arianna's life" she sobbed. Richard held Genesis and kissed her temple. "Arianna is.." he choked. He couldn't bring himself to complete it. "Don't you dare say that last word, Richard" Genesis implored. Richard dragged her to Chase and said "Take care of my girl" and dashed into the theatre. He was not dressed for theatre work but got in and wore the Available one at the entrance and got in. He took the chest compressor from the head surgeon. At this time, he had stilled his heart. He wasn't looking at her from the persp
