The next morning, Jenny arrived home after spending a week outside the house. She saw Kelly wearing her shoes. Jenny scoffed and threw her bag on the couch. She tied her hair into a rough ponytail and took off her stripper boot. "Are you still thinking of going to school?" She asked. "Well, I've been going to school since you've been out doing... What I have no idea of" Kelly replied, rudely. Jenny frowned and walked closer to her. She grabbed Kelly's ear and pulled it.Kelly screamed in pain. Francis ran out. "Stop what you're doing Jenny. She's a child" "Oh, yes... She's a child. I remember when she came in here. She was so dumb that she could utter a word in three days. Now, she has so much to say""Well, it's good" Francis folded her hands, watching as Kelly wore her shoes. "You're letting her go to school? What if someone notices her?" Jenny asked. "No one will. She has been going to school since you were out, working your ass at the club. Trust me" Francis said. Kelly w

Everyone was still shocked about Manuel's sudden butt in. No one was expecting him to talk. He was the kind of person that even if they were talking about him right in front of him, he's always quiet. He doesn't have time to think about what other people say about him. Michelle was surprised when he stood up. "It is I father..." Manuel said and took a dramatic pause to scan everyone's facial expression. Even Ginny wasn't expecting it. She thought he was going to cover for her. "I'm to blamed, not my in-laws. I should have disciplined my wife. Please, accept my apologies father" Manuel said. Ginny rolled her eyes secretly. She thought for some seconds that Manuel was going to tell everyone the truth. But what he said doesn't change the fact that Mr Croydon already hates her and her parents are disappointed already. "Don't blame yourself for this Manuel. I know she's your wife. You don't have to cover for her" Mr Croydon said. Manuel exchanged glances with his mother. She signalled

After several hours of playing golf, Christopher returned home with his father. He walked him to his room and gave him his drugs before he went to sleep. "Good night father" he said. "And you too Chris" Mr Croydon mumbled as sleep took over. Christopher hurriedly locked the door and head to his room. Michelle was asleep when he entered. He didn't wake her. He just changed his cloth and laid close to her. He did it as quiet as possible He was so tired, after spending so much time with his father, reminiscing about the old time. Just while he was trying to sleep, his phone chimed loudly, even waking Michelle. He stretched his hand to pick it and she sat up. "You're back?" She asked in a cracked voice. "Sorry for waking you up. I'll turn off my phone now" he said and wanted to turn it off when he saw the news. He frowned and clicked on the link. "What the heck..." He muttered. "What is it?" She asked. Christopher showed her his phone. She saw the news and scoffed. "I wasn't exp

The next beautiful day, after taking care of one thing or the other in the house, Michelle decided to follow Christopher to help him catch the person that has been tarnishing his reputation. They got to a super fancy restaurant. Trevor already booked the whole building for their little meeting. He didn't want to be seen with Frederick and Christopher. The media could explode, seeing them together.Majestically, Christopher walked in with Michelle. Trevor saw her and slowly stood up with his eyes fixed on her. He was thinking about the little moment he spent with her, including the kiss. "Hey Trevor!" Michelle waved, snapping him back to reality. He smirked. "Hi Michelle. I heard about your... You know" he didn't want to say it. He didn't want to feel more jealous than he is right now. "Congratulations!" He added. "Thank you" Michelle replied and sat down comfortably. "So, where do we start from? I have urgent things to do?" Trevor said, gazing at his watch. Everyone was silent. T

It already started to rain, heavily. The cops were still after Francis, so was Michelle. She ran as fast as her leg could carry her, forgetting the fact that she was pregnant. Repeatedly, she stopped to catch her breath. It was really cold. "Francis! That bastard!" She cursed and continued running again. .Francis knew he wouldn't make it. He turned back to see the men after him, they'll catch him no matter what as long as he's with Kelly. So, he dropped her on the floor. "I'll come back for you one day darling" he said and ran off. The cops stopped by Kelly's body. "I'll take her to the hospital, you guys go after him!" "Yes sir!" They chorused and continued to run after Francis. Now that he wasn't with Kelly, they had the opportunity to shoot him. They all tried to shoot, but they missed till one bullet hit his leg. They thought that would slow him down, but it didn't. He took another short cut and climbed the walls. They couldn't go after him anymore. .Michelle saw another
