"Ready, one, two, go." The duo jumped inside the water. They raced to the other end of the pool."Yeaaaah, I won." "Man is getting flimsy." "Let's go again." They swam back to the end again. Brielle stretched out fast before him, she watched Frederick get out of the water, to sit beside her. Something caught her eyes as he leaped to her side."What happened to your shoulder?" She watches intently."This, oh I had an accident.""When? How?""I think it's karma, nature decided to pay me a visit for killing her.""Didn't say that, when did it happen?""The day I went to see her, and for the news of her death, I was coming back, my eyes were getting murky after crying, and I drove myself that day, I didn't see the incoming vehicle and it ran into me.""So sorry, you could have covered it up.""After I recovered, I grew to like the mark.""Why?""It reminded me of her." Brielle chuckled."You are such a great lover." he giggled at her words. "Some will get surgery because they want to fo

The duo went back to Lucy's room, the knock on the door interrupted them."Come in." "Mom, can you help me out with some cash?""I don't have enough now.""Mom!!" The two chorused"What!!?"It was just last week, what happened to the money." "I don't think I owe you two explanations on how I spend my money.""You can simply say, you don't want to give me, you were credited last week.""That was last week, this is a new week."Clifford's mood dampened, his mother was his last resort, after his father refused to give him his allowance earlier than the designated time. He knows Sapphire would not loan him cash. He strode out of the room. "I will give you some cash, if you do my bidding." He stopped at her words. "Are you being serious?""Yes.""Ok what do you want me to do, assassinate, rob the bank or buy drugs for you." "You moron, it's totally different from that. Ok here is the deal, there is a number I need you to get." "From where?""Brielle's phone." "What!! How do I get my

"And this is all you can come up with, a fake DNA result."Sapphire gazed at her mother, she was surprised, her mother never told her anything about this, all eyes in the dining room were on Lucy. "Lucy come on, even if she wants to leech off me, why are you offended about that, that's the same thing you are doing, so why feel bad that someone wants to join you." "Ford, those are real, see the hospital stamp." "Enough!! Do you think I haven't conducted a test? I know this is fake, so please quit this drama." He clamored. Lucy clenched her jaw, she didn't know that he had conducted a test. Frederick stormed out of the dining, and Lucy hit the table making it jerk, before leaving the dining, with Sapphire trailing behind her. Only Clifford and Brielle were left at the table, they gaped at each other."You aren't going with your mother?""You aren't going with your father?" They both giggled, Brielle stuffed her mouth with food before leaving the dining room, her mind went back to w

She had two more days before her departure date. Frederick was hesitant to allow her to go back. "Mom, she will be leaving on Sunday." "Not so soon.""What do we do now?""We have to come up with something fast, if she slips our hand now, we don't know when next we will see her.""That's it, do you have any plans?" "No, we have only one option now, that's our first plan." The duo looked at each other."But we don't know how to do it.""Leave it to me, just play out your role well, then we are good." Sapphire heaved a deep breath. "You have to do it during dinner.""Ok." ************************Brielle had just returned from the office with Frederick. She went to freshen up and get ready for dinner. The family sat for dinner. Everyone was eating except Sapphire."How is the food?" Everybody looked at her. "I mean I prepared the food, so how is it?"Clifford choked on the food in his mouth, Brielle and Fredrick stared at her with wide eyes."Why did you make the food?""It's my way

Brielle was dressed in an evening black silk gown Frederick sent for her with a set of jewelry, and black heels. The driver was already waiting for her. He took her to the venue, Frederick was waiting for her. It was a nice restaurant. "Welcome to Peak Grandeu, do you have a reservation?""Yes, Mr. Davis.""Oh, this way." "You look amazing." "Thanks." They sipped on their wine as they waited for their order to arrive. "How was work today?""I won't say it's the same, you didn't come today. You spoilt Nate, he has been quibbling about his work today." Brille giggled. The waiter arrived with their meal, and they started eating. "What's your plan after the six months?""According to our deal, I will quit working for him, and he is bound to get another employment for me in another company." "Oh, that's a nice one. Are you still considering that?""Why not.""I was thinking, maybe when the contract is over, you can move here." "That's nice, but I can't leave Nana." "Not at all, yo

"Where have you been?""I didn't see you when I came in." "You made me apprehensive; you took too long, so I decided to go look for you." "I'm sorry, I ran into an old pal, and got held up." The mother and daughter played out their role so well. "Lucy, come sit, you need rest." She sat near her husband with a fulfilled heart, the discussion with the Doctor was a success. "Brielle you didn't travel again?"Before she could reply to her, the doctor came in."Mr. Davis, can I speak to you for a minute?" They went to the end of the room. "I'm sorry, I don't think you are vital enough to donate blood." "Why?""Any markdown in your blood will affect you.""How bad can it be?""I will say, sixty-thirty." Frederick peered over his son, and back at the doctor. "Do it.""What?""I said you should do it." "Sir, I understand that you want to save your son, but you are endangering yourself. There are so many options.""What are the options?""Your daughter can be a good match." They looked

The door creaked and Anastasia peered into the office. "Lucy." She called out, but got no response. She closed the door behind her and left. "But the nurse said she came here, where could she have gone to? My poor baby, she must be drained with this." "That was a close catch." The duo came out from behind the cabinet."Your mother in law must still love you so much still." "Clinton it's time for you to go, and please take care of the doctor, he knows more than he should." "I know baby, that's what I'm doing.""And don't ever call me your baby.""I know you like the name, has Ford ever used such endearment for you."She rolled her eyes at him, and stormed out. "Be careful on your way out, you might run into Anastasia or worse still, Ford."Lucy faked her expression before walking into Clifford's ward. The two pairs of eyes in the room turned and looked at her. "Where have you been, I went looking for you." Anastasia queried when Lucy got in."I went outside for a brief time.""Com

"Is that necessary?" Clifford intervened. "Of course my baby, I don't want such a thing happening to any member of this family again." "I don't think it is of any use, you guys frittering money on the Analyst, I was inebriated while I was driving so my vision was blurry."This earned him a glare from his father, he swallowed his spit. Lucy and Sapphire heaved a sigh of relief. "Boy, I thought we agreed on no driving while drunk, call a cab." Lucy butted in. "Can you listen to yourself, No driving while drunk, that's he should drink more, bravo to your motherly advice." Frederick was infuriated with Lucy's words. "Mother of the year." Clifford bit his lips, he had promised himself not to make his father angry again, but it wouldn't hurt to take a final blow to cover his mother and Sapphire act. "You encourage him to drink, Lucy, he is just twenty. What do you want to become of him? I will advise you to buy shares for him in the club.""I'm sorry Dad it won't happen again." "Let
