Dread filled Zara's heart when she heard the man's words. On the other hand, Scott remained as calm as ever. He gripped the phone tighter and asked, "What do you want? Money, protection? Just name it. I will give it to you."A laugh came from the phone. "Did you just say protection? I'm afraid you can't give me that. You haven't even been able to protect yourself lately. How can you protect someone else?"It took Scott a while to realize what the caller was driving it. "You are the one who sent me that gory package?""Nah, nah! Don't get started with the accusations. I didn't do anything like that. It was someone else. I don't have a beef with you, Scott Brown. My hands are completely clean regarding your current predicament. In fact, I'd love to know who did that. It might be connected to what happened fifteen years ago.""What!" Scott exclaimed."You heard me right. I'm aware that there has been some kind of threat to your life in recent times. It's one of the reasons why I decided

A bloodcurdling scream pierced the brief silence that ensued after the hit. It was followed by other screams. Several tables tumbled and dishes shattered to the ground as the diners ran helter-skelter in horror.Zara had already fallen to the floor. And Scott was now crouching over her body. Meters away, the strange man lay on his side with his eyes wide open as if someone had stuck glue on his eyelids. His hat had been knocked off. Now, blood seeped out of the hole in his head. Soon, there was a red streak over his forehead."Somebody call 911!" a lady who was under a table shouted. No one moved an inch. Those close to the door rushed out of the restaurant on all fours. A stampede soon ensued by the door. Babies, women, and men were screaming.Zara lay on the floor, petrified. The noise soon became distant as she stared at the strange man's face. He seemed to be staring back at her, but his eyes had no life in them. At that moment, Zara felt her stomach tighten into several knots.Su

Jordan and Zara looked at each other and then turned to the side with their glasses in hand. Not too far away stood Scott and Cora. Cora was dressed like a princess. The red dress she had on was adorned with tiny shiny diamonds and her hair was curled up and styled. The necklace on her neck shimmered under the bright light: one look at it and you could tell that it cost a fortune.Similarly, Scott had cleaned up nice. Most of his black hair was sleek back. His suit looked new and well-ironed. He had one hand in his pocket.It had only been a week since Zara last saw him. But it felt like it had been a few months as she stared at him now. Cora locked arms with him and pulled him forward. She had on the fakest of smiles Zara had ever seen."Hey, Zara, Jordan. I didn't think I'd meet you two here," she lied partially. The truth was that she had actually gotten someone to look at the guest list and nominees for the party. After finding out that Jordan was one of the nominees and Scott

Everyone in the hall went silent. Even the music stopped. The couples on the dancefloor stared at the trio intently.Zara was shell-shocked. Her jaw went slack. She blinked as if to make sure she wasn't dreaming. What did Scott just say? Did he say that he loved her? Was he drunk? Ha, this has got to be a joke!At the thought of this, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "You have got to be kidding me, Scott! Stop making such expensive jokes. You are going to give people the wrong idea."Scott inched closer. "I'm not kidding, Zee. I truly love you. It might sound unbelievable, but my heart calls your name. I still want you."The onlookers gasped at this. Zara looked around, only to find that all eyes were on her now. Her heart suddenly began to thump. She looked at Scott who had been staring at her with his eyes glistening strangely.Zara was tongue-tied now. Thankfully, Jordan came to her rescue. He put his arm around her shoulder and broke Scott's hold on her wrist. He then said, "Le

Zara froze on the spot. The reporters continued to press their microphones close to her mouth even though she was yet to say anything. Cameras continued to flash and roll. She pressed her temple with her eyes shut.When she opened her eyes again, there was a ferocious blaze in them. She looked at them and frowned. "Do you know I could have you all arrested for trespassing?"The reporters looked at themselves with hesitation. But one of them said in a husky voice, "We are just doing our jobs. Can you just tell us what's between you and Scott? Are you guys back together?"Zara flared up. "Didn't I make myself clear in the statement released over the weekend?"In case you can not read, I clearly stated that all questions should be directed to Scott. He was the one who created a scene and spewed rubbish. I have no comments to make aside from that. My personal life is none of y'all's business."All the reporters were shocked by her outburst. Little did they know that there was more to come

Zara paused for a while and swallowed hard. "It's no secret that Scott Brown and I got divorced more than five years ago. We each went our separate ways. I'd like to state here and now that there's nothing romantic going on between me and Scott."Contrary to the rumors and the insinuation Cora recently made, I didn't drive a wedge between them nor did I take Scott away from their son. I have moved on with my life. The only reason why Scott and I sometimes meet is that we are both business people. It's inevitable that we bump into each other. Also, I'm a major shareholder at Brown and Co."With a shake of the head, Zara laughed and continued, "I think it's funny that somehow I'm to blame for the whole thing when Scott was the one who professed his love to me in public. I didn't force him to do that, whether by words or actions as many of you have insinuated. I do not want him. Recently, I discovered the sweetest gentleman I have ever met. Why would I overlook him for someone who treate

Hundreds of comments flooded the comment section even before Cora saved and ended the live. Each one was of people expressing shock by her appearance.Everyone who knew Cora knew her as a very beautiful young woman. Although she never had a stable career, she was known as one of the hottest women in Beecroft, and Norkview as a whole. Many women camped on her social media pages, waiting for her to drop the latest skincare and fashion inspiration.Her face also graced many fashion magazines in the past. In summary, Cora was the shit in Norkview's fashion industry. The comments after she went offline were all sympathetic and full of guesses."Oh, my goodness. Someone tell me that I'm on the wrong page or someone is just trying to impersonate Cora. This can't be her!""It's really her! She said she was attacked. She looks nothing like the Cora we know. Who could have done such a thing to her?""Wait a damn minute! Could it be who I am thinking? Cora said we know who it is. She has only h

"What? Is this a prank? You are recording this, aren't you? Please, I don't have time for this. I'd also appreciate it if you don't include this recording in your skit," Zara uttered, looking around.It was common for content creators to prank people nowadays. She had seen some videos like this, so she thought this must be it. If only she knew this was no skit...The second man moved forward with a frown on his face. "Ma'am, we are not here to play. You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Cora Anderson. You're a prime suspect."Zara couldn't believe her ears. The takeout bag in her hand fell to the ground. "What? I have no hand in what happened!""Tell that to us at the station!" the ginger cop, Detective Stine, said as he took Jayden from her. The little boy instantly burst into tears as he kicked. "Mommy! Mommy!"In a trice, Zara flew into mother-hen mode. She charged at the cop and yelled, "Give me back my child! What are you doing?"The other cop whipped out handcuffs an
