“Would you like anything else to drink, ma’am?” the waitress asked and Anaya shook her head.She pressed the glass frame to the bridge of her nose as she scanned the restaurant for the culprits. The time for their reservation was in five minutes and they still hadn't arrived. After everything Maia had told and shown her, Anaya knew she had to confirm if Daisy was indeed the one behind all the attacks. Maia’s innocence didn’t equate to Daisy’s culpability and the only way to find out was to know the reason Daisy was seeing Thomas behind her back.At the entrance of the restaurant, a couple walked in cheerfully in each other’s arms as they confirmed their seat with the waiter. They walked past her to sit on the table behind her and at once, their conversation flooded her ears through the earpiece she was wearing. Anaya had prepared everything beforehand. Disguising herself, she wore a red wig with thick black glasses and heavy makeup to completely change her look.She had bribed one o

“And here we are, tucked in very tight.” Anaya smiled as she patted Ryle’s head gently.Henry watched from the corner of the room as Ryle’s eyes drooped slowly but he tried really hard to stay awake. He had been discharged this evening after the doctors had run the necessary tests and administered all the medications he needed for the time being.Anaya had been with Ryle all the time and even though Henry was still a bit skeptical of leaving her alone with him, Ryle had wanted Anaya to be with him at all times. And Henry couldn’t let his fear interrupt the bond between.A small smile slipped into his mouth as Anaya used her fingers to close Ryle’s eyes so he could get some rest. She was good with Ryle, undoubtedly, and now, he felt guilty for being harsh on her.His mother had spoken to him, advising him to forgive Anaya and accept the incident as nothing more than a slip up. He knew he shouldn’t have said some things to her that night but the tension of the situation made him speak i

“I didn’t want to go there but Daddy said I had to be there.” Anaya laughed as Ryle mimicked his father’s voice by dropping his voice down an octave.“He did not say that!” Anaya turned an accusing look at Henry.“Did you just mock me, Ryle?” Henry playfully narrowed his eyes at his son who was giggling uncontrollably.“I didn’t mock you, Daddy. I just said you said ‘I had to be there’” Ryle did it again and Anaya laughed harder at his cheekiness.It had been three days since Ryle got back from the hospital which meant he hadn’t been in school for almost a week now. He was getting tired and cranky and Henry decided they went out on a walk for him to stretch his limbs and exercise a bit.Anaya was a bit surprised when Henry asked her to come with them. Even though he apologized yesterday, they still hadn’t returned to their former dynamics of being playful and having banters every now and then.They simply exchanged the necessary information and acted formally with each other except wh

Anaya braced herself and took in a deep breath before opening the door to her office. Daisy looked up at her with a huge smile as she got up from the couch.“Hi, Anaya!” She chirped and pulled Anaya in for a tight hug.“What’s the occasion? Don’t you have work today?” Anaya asked as she pulled away, not bothering to fake the non-existent smile unlike Daisy.“Oh, I took the morning off for my dear friend. It’s almost like it's a surprise visit month.” Daisy clapped before returning to her seat.Anaya sat on the sofa opposite Daisy and eyed her up skeptically. She didn’t know what Daisy had come here for and the fact that Norah had let her into her office without her permission irked.Who knew what Daisy could have planted anywhere in order to extract information from her.“So, what is it? For you to take time off work and come to my office this early, it must be something urgent.” Anaya started off casual but she narrowed her eyes at Daisy.Her friend was dressed in a pair of black pala

Anaya stared at the ceiling as she laid on her bed, her tears dried and her body numb. She barely had a wink of sleep last night because of the ache in her head.Everything that happened yesterday was tormenting her. Daisy’s scheme of slamming the vase against her head and Henry’s reaction when she told him Daisy was to blame for everything.It was so absurd that it was almost hilarious. She didn’t even know what to say or what to do anymore. Daisy had succeeded in convincing Henry that she was unstable and that she was the one who hit her with the vase.She didn’t know what to do and Maia wasn’t still picking up her calls nor answering her text messages. Anaya had contacted her private investigator to get anything on Daisy and he asked for her to give him two days but she was impatient. She needed to get Daisy arrested as soon as today before she did something else. She had to do something to stop her before whatever plans she had would unfold.A shrill ringtone filled the silent ro
