THE MCDONALD’S MANSION***
Nadia enters the living room and was about proceeding to her room, but was stopped by Nadine.
“What do you want?” Nadia asked.
“I saw something interesting today” Nadine said smirking.
“Which is?” She asked and Nadine shows her a picture of her and Bryan.
“I saw everything that happened ealier at school. You didn’t mean to break up with that scu-m bag, right? You only did that because you wanted mom to believe it was over between the both of you, and poor Desiree has to be a pawn in the game Bryan was playing just to make you jealous” Nadine said.
“And?”
Nadine sniggers and said. “I’m going to tell Mom about it and she is going to scold you so badly”.
“Then go ahead, that’s what you are good anyways. A parrot and a mummy’s girl” Nadia said.
“How dare you call me that!!” Nadine yells and slaps Nadia and Nadia returned the slap, shocking Nadine to the core.
“Did you just slap me?” Nadine asked surprisingly.
“Yes I did. Try to lay those hands of yours on me again and you won’t like what I will do to you” Nadia said angrily.
“What’s going on here?” Mrs. McDonald asked coming downstairs.
“Well Nadia here, never really intended on breaking up with that boyfriend of hers. She only did that so you will think is over between them” Nadine said and smirks afterwards.
Mrs. McDonald walks closer to Nadia. “Is that true?” She asked.
“Yes is true” Nadia answers and Mrs. McDonald tried to slap her, but Nadia held her hand before it could land on her face, and Mrs. McDonald almost went paralyzed.
“I have enough from the both of you!!!, I can’t let you both control me anymore. Because I let you control me the way you want, I’m about to lose the boy I love so much!!” Nadia yells at them.
“Did you just raise your voice at me?” Mrs. McDonald asked shockingly. This is the first time Nadia will be reacting this way, and her attitude right now, was enough to give Mrs. McDonald partial stroke.
“Yes I did. And I am also sure your ears aren’t clogged either. I’m done being a robot controlled by you and Nadine. Is high time I stand up for myself regardless of how the outcome is going to be!!!” Nadia shouted.
“Are you doing all of this because of that Bryan Guy. No daughter of mine is allowed to be with a poor folk!!” Mrs. McDonald yells at Nadia.
“Then just disown me”
“W-what” Mrs. McDonald stuttered and Nadine’s jaw dropped.
“You have never treated me like a daughter anyways. You have always preferred Nadine to me. So I guess there’s no use trying to gain your love. I’m going to live with dad from now on and don’t think about filling a case against him Cuz I’m going to tell the court what kind of an abusive mother you are. I won’t try to create peace between the two of you anymore” Nadia said and made her way upstairs.
She came downstairs with her luggage and without saying a word to either Mrs. McDonald or Nadine, she left the house.
“Mom, is that Nadia or someone else?” Nadine said and Mrs. McDonald gulped down hard, trying to recuperate herself from the shock.

PARK***
The park was filled with couples taking selfies, enjoying a nice meal, some were just chitchating and laughing while some were just running around the gra-ssy area.
Desiree sitted in a chair at the park looking at the happy couples and she sighs sadly.
“You’re going to cry in the next two minutes if you don’t stop looking at them”.
Desiree looks at the voice that spoked and Clark flashed her a charming smile at her, Desiree diverted her eyes from him.
“Here drink this” Clark said giving her a can of orange Demi soda.
Desiree looks at him for some seconds before taking it from him. He sits beside her and Desiree quickly shifted away from him which made Clark smiled.
“I guess the Guy who broke your heart was your first love, right?” Clark said and Desiree looks at him.
“How did you know that?” She asked.
“Firstly, you won’t have cried the way you did ealier and you won’t be acting so outstri-pped. Guess you’re still a vi-rgin” Clark said and Desiree gulped down the can of Demi soda, Clark smiles.
“It seems I’m saying the truth” He said and Desiree shot him a glare, but her brows furrows afterwards.
“Wait, I think I have see you before… You’re the boy that came back with Paige’s real mom from New York, right?” Desiree asked.
“You finally recognize my face. I wonder why a high school student like you is so forgetful” Clark said sarcastically.
“And why’re you taking as if you’re not a high school student” Desiree said.
“Because I’m not. I graduated from High School two years back”.
Desiree sniggers. “Liar”.
“You think I’m lying?” He asked.
“Yes you are. You look more like a high school student to me” Desiree said.
“That’s because nature cheated me. I’m 20 yunno” Clark said.
“Really?” Desiree asked and Clark nods and she scoffs.
“Whatever, You’re just two years older”.
“Really? Then should I date you then?” He asked drawing his face close to hers, Desiree gulped down ha-rd and pushed his face away from hers.
“You’re a jerk” She said walking away, Clark smiles.
“Wait for me” He said going after her smiling.
“Why’re you following me” Desiree said increasing the pace of her feet.

DAWSON’S MANSION***
“Brain contusion?” Sabrina asked as she set the table for them to eat. Little Seth was also present.
And Angelo nods wearing a sad face.
“I may not know much about science stuffs, but having a contusion in the brain leads to disability, if by chance the patient survive”.
“And that part scares me so much Rina. I won’t be able to take it if Carding goes insane” Angelo said wearing a sad face.
“Can we eat already. I’m hungry” Seth said.
“Sure Seth, go ahead and eat” Angelo said rou-ghing his hair playfully.
Sabrina sits next to Angelo and just when they were about to eat, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson enters the house. Angelo spranged up quickly on seeing his parents.
“Dad, Mom” He called.
Mr. and Mrs. Dawson looks at Sabrina and Seth, then to Angelo.
“And who the heck is she?” Mr. Dawson asked, Sabrina hides behind Angelo.
“She is my girlfriend Dad” Angelo answers and holds Sabrina’s hand.
“Your girlfriend?” Mrs. Sabrina asked and Angelo nods, and his heart was slowly pan-ting in fear, he knows what his parents were going to say next.
“Are why are you hiding behind him? Do we look like ghost?” Mr. Dawson asked, and Sabrina reluctantly came out from Angelo’s back.
Mrs. Dawson walks closer to Sabrina and Angelo wondered what his mom was about to do. He’s just patiently waiting for her action, before he can retaliate.
“You look familiar. Are you by chance Carolina’s daughter?” Mrs. Dawson asked.
“How did you know my late Mom?” Sabrina asked and Mrs. Dawson smiles.
“You definitely look exactly like your mom. You’re just the carbon copy of her. Love, you remember Caroline, right? The lady who helped Angelo when he had convulsion five years ago”.
“Oh yes I remember. We met her thrice and after that we didn’t see her again” Mr. Dawson said.
“This is her daughter. Take a closer look at her and you will see she looks exactly like Caroline” Mrs. Dawson said.
“Oh that’s true. How are you young lady?” Mr. Dawson asked.
“I’m…. Fine” Sabrina stuttered.
“How is your mom. We never heard from her again?” Mrs. Dawson asked.
“She pa-ssed away that same year, five years ago” Sabrina said.
“Oh no, that’s so bad. How have you been coping since then” Mrs. Dawson said holding Sabrina’s hand, Angelo slowly smiles.

NINA’S APARTMENT***
Nina is seen inside the bathroom holding a pregnant test HCG in her hand. She took in a de-ep breath and out, before slowly opening her eyes to see the results on the pregnancy checker and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
“I’m pregnant. I’m going to be a Mom” She said caressing her flat tommy which hasn’t produce yet, smiling so happily.
*****
HOSPITAL***
Paige sits close to Carding caressing his hair. His eyes were firmly closed and the monitor was making a beeping sound with every seconds that pa-sses.
“I hope you wake up soon Carding. I’m sorry this has to happen to you because of me. I don’t care if we’re half siblings, I’m ready to commit an abomination if that’s what is going to take for you to wake up. I don’t care if you become mentally insane, I just want to see your beautiful eyes again. Just wake ok, and I’m going to do what you want. Carding” She called his name, but Carding remained unconscious on the bed and Paige resumes her cry.
“You’re really so cruel, hope you know that. I’m going to make you pay in hundred fonds for making me sad like this. Aren’t you going to wake up, your Paige is sad right now. You’re making your Paige sad, you hate seeing my tear, right?.So please wake up so that I’ll stop crying” Paige said hiccuping as more tears falls down her eyes.
Tessa enters the ward.
“Ca-ssandra” She called and Paige looks at her with tears in her eyes.
“He’s refusing to wake up, What should I do? He doesn’t want to wake up no matter how ha-rd I’ve begged. Is he mad at me for breaking up with him that way? Is that why he doesn’t want to wake up? But I only did because that was the right thing to do. Maybe I shouldn’t have done it” Paige said crying loudly.
Tessa hugs her. “Don’t worry Paige, everything is going to be fixed soon, just be a little patience” Tessa said patting her softly.
And it took some minutes before Paige slowly raised her hands and hug-ged Tessa back. Tessa smiles and continues patting her.
She looks at Carding and sighs.
“It will be over soon dear, just hold on a little bit” She said ki-ssing her hair.
******
DESIREE’S APARTMENT***
Bryan stood up from the sofa immediately Desiree enters the house. He has ealier searched for her when she ran away, but he couldn’t find her and his worries increased when nightfall came and she wasn’t yet back.
“Desiree thank God you’re finally home. I was so worried about you” He said.
“Really? You were worried about me. If you had me at heart, you won’t have done what you did” Desiree said.
“Desiree I am….”
“I don’t want to hear your sorry Bryan, is only going to make matters worst. At least now we’re even”.
“What does that mean Desiree?”
“I once called you a freeloader, right? I’ll take what you did to me as a payback for I calling you a freeloader”.
“Desiree it hasn’t gotten to that. I’m sorry, I had no idea you love me. if I did, I won’t have played with your feelings. I’m so sorry Desiree” Bryan apologize.
“Goodnight Bryan” Desiree said and entered her room. Bryan was about knocking on Desiree’s room door, when he got a call from Nadia’s dad.
“Hello Dad” He said, since Mr. McDonald asked him to call him Dad.
“How are you son?”
“I’m ok, you?”
“I’m good. Do you know Nadia already left her mom’s house”.
“She did?” Bryan asked looking surprised.
“Yes she did. She has start acting her age. Can you please talk to her. She has been moody since she arrived at my mansion” Mr. McDonald said.
Bryan sighs dipping his hand in his hair.
“Alright. I’ll talk to her tomorrow”.
“Thanks Bryan. You should also dropped by at the mansion one of these days”.
“I’ll dad. You too, bye.” Bryan said and ended the call. He raised his hand to knock on Desiree’s door, but halted from doing so.
“Maybe I should just leave her alone” Bryan muttered and went for his room.
***
Desiree came out from the bathroom after having a steamy shower. She sits on the bed, thinking about what Bryan did to her and she won’t deny that she is still feeling so hurt right now.
She was still de-ep in thought, when her phone chimes. She looks at the message and it was from Clark, both exchanged numbers.
???? ARE YOU AT HOME NOW?
“Why is he making it his headache?” Desiree asked herself, but nevertheless, she gaved answered to his question, dropping her phone on the bed and another message came from Clark again.
???? ARE YOU FREE TOMORROW?
Desiree furrowed her eyebrows, she hasn’t even reply when another message came from him again.
???? IF YOU ARE FREE TOMORROW, THEN LET’S HANGOUT TOGETHER, IS GOING TO BE MY TREAT.
“And who told you I want to go out with you. I won’t” Desiree said and was about typing NO, when another message came from him again.
???? I WON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
“Is he a psychopath, simply because he comforted me earlier, doesn’t mean he should order me around”.
???? I AM NOT TRYING TO ORDER YOU AROUND, I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU EASE THE PAIN YOU’RE GOING THrou-gh
“Is he a mind reader? How come he keeps replying to everything I have in mind?”.
???? BUT IF YOU AREN’T COMFORTABLE WITH ME, YOU CAN REPLY NO.
Desiree takes in her li-ps before replying to his message.
~I AM IN. She typed clic-king send, and patiently waited for his reply.
“Why is he not replying back?” Desiree asked after waiting for minutes for his reply.
???? WERE YOU WAITING FOR MY REPLY? I WAS HELPING AUNT TESSA OUT. SEE YOU TOMORROW, DREAM ABOUT ME.
Desiree smiles lightly after reading his message. “Dream about you? You’re really Crazy” She said and falls to the bed and a smile appeared on her face.
*****
NEXT DAY=HOSPITAL***
The door of the ward Carding was in, opened and a man wearing all black, enters the ward, looking at the sleeping Carding. He walks closer to him, caressing his hair softly.
“Long time no see, my son” He said touching his face and Odessa enters the ward, her eyes wide-ned when she sees the man in front of her.
“Morris” She said and Morris looks at her.
“What did heck are you doing here?” She asked.
“Why have you been slighting my calls?” Morris answered her question with a question.
“Come with me” She said and forcefully take him out of the ward, to the back of the hospital.
“What the heck are you doing here Morris!!! Why’re you here!!!” Odessa yells at him.
“I heard Carding is hospitalized, Should I have ignored that, knowing fully well Carding is in critical condition?” Morris said.
“Carding’s health got nothing to do with you Morris”.
“Of course it does, because I’m Carding’s Dad”.
“Vince is his father and not you Morris” Odessa defend.
“Quit with the lies Odessa. Until when will you stop lying to everyone. You were already two weeks pregnant before you slept with Vince. You had Carding in your womb way before you slept with Vince, Which makes me Carding’s real Dad and not Vince!!” Morris shouted at her.
