A week later, a lot of things happened. Wendy was in the sitting room watching when her phone rang, she picked up then she stood up and left the room. She instructed the gatekeeper to open the gate for Wyatt. The gatekeeper opened the gate then Wyatt came in.
“Thanks for coming, Wyatt” Wendy said with a smile.
Wyatt only nodded.
When they got inside Wendy upstairs to call her parents.
“Wendy, what you are saying is it true?” Mrs Lillian asked as she climbed the stairs down with Wendy and Mr. Connor.
“Sweetie, talk to your daughter… What is all this? I know Aaron and ru-by love them so much” Mr Connor said.
Wendy rolled.
“Hello, young man” Mr Connor said when they got to the sitting room.
Wyatt greeted.
“Wyatt, this are my parents… can you please explain to them that Aaron and ru-by doesn’t love themselves.
“This man face looks familiar… where did I know him from” Wyatt thoughts.
Wyatt lost in his thoughts.
“Wyatt” Wendy called and tapped him.
“Oh, nice meet you, guys…. yeah, ru-by and Aaron doesn’t love themselves” Wyatt said and narrated everything to them.
“Keep quiet… you think you can fool us” Mr Connor said.
“Dad, He is not…”
“Keep quiet…. ru-by and Aaron loved them so much” Mr Connor said and glare at Wyatt.
“Dad” Wendy shouted.
“Wyatt or whatever you called yourself… leave my Mansion” Mr Connor said, angrily
Wyatt stood up immediately, he was about to walk out when Mr Connor told him to stop.
“Your face looks familiar” Mr Connor said, staring at him.
“Dad, you don’t know him” Wendy said and walked out with Wyatt.
“I’m sorry, Wyatt” Wendy apologize.
“It’s okay… go inside” Wyatt said and she nodded then he left.
An hour later when Wyatt got home, he met his sister eating pancakes.
“Where is Grandma?” Wyatt said as he sat down.
“She is in her room sleeping” Hazel replied.
“Okay, is there food at home?” Wyatt asked and Hazel shook her.
“Oh God, I am starving” Wyatt said and sighed.
“Take this, brother” Hazel said and gave him the pancakes.
“Thanks” Wyatt said.

“Romeo, what’s your problem? Stay away from me” Eliana said, angrily.
“Eliana, I can’t… since the day I set my eyes on you that i fall in love with you” Romeo said.
“You mean since the day you saved me in the water that you have fallen in love with me” Eliana said and Romeo nodded.
“I don’t love you, Romeo… stay away from me” Eliana shouted.
She was about to leave when Romeo held her hand and crashed his li-p on her. Eliana pushed Romeo with all for-ce then she slapped him.
“Romeo, if you dare ki-ss me again… you will see my other side” Eliana said and left.
Romeo sighed.
“Eliana, I promise I will get you by all means” Romeo said and left.
When he got home, he met his brother operating his system.
“Stone” Romeo called.
“Romeo, you are back” Stone said and Romeo nodded then sat down with Stone.
“What’s wrong? You are not in a good mood right?” Stone asked and he nodded.
“Tell me, bro… who hurt you?” Stone asked.
Romeo narrated everything to him.
“You mean a girl slap you just because you ki-ssed her” Stone said with a frown.
“Yeah…. I love her brother but she doesn’t love me” Romeo said, sadly.
“Forget about love, Romeo… we nee-d to teach the girl some lessons” Stone said.
“Stone, please don’t hurt her… I will find a way to make her fall for me” Romeo said, gazing at him.
“Okay” Stone said and Romeo nodded.

“Eww…What is this?” Harper said with a frown.
“Ma’am, this is Tater Tots” The maid replied.
“You cooking skill is not good” Harper said and the maids gasped.
“I want Mini Frittatas” Harper shouted.
“Okay, ma’am” The maid said and ran into the kitchen.
“Harper” Bianca called climbing the star down.
“Yes, Bianca” Harper answered and Rico frowned.
“How many time should I tell you to give Bianca some respect” Rico said.
“What do you want me to call her, bro? Is Bianca not her name?” Harper as she folded her arms.
Rico got angry and was about to hit her when Bianca held his hand.
“If you know you wanna stay here, give Bianca some respect or else I will deal with you” Rico said.
“I’m sorry, brother” Harper said with a pout.
“Rico, forgive her… she has apologised” Bianca said and Harper nodded.
“Okay, fine…. we are going to a friends place will you come along” Rico said with a smile.
“Sure… let me get dressed” Harper said.
“Sis, you dress look nice” Rico said.
“No, brother… I want to look nice” Harper said and ran upstairs.
Rico sighed.
“She is too…”
Rico didn’t finish his statement when Bianca placed her finger on his li-p.
“I am here” Harper said.
“Okay, let’s go” Bianca said then they left.

“Doctor, Oliver… if you don’t tell me the reason why you want to kill Jupiter, I am gonna kill you” Tolliver said
“Who are you? please leave me” Dr. Oliver pleaded.
“Tell me the reason why you want to kill her and your boss’s name or else I will hit you with this stick” Tolliver said, pointing the stick at him.
“Okay… I will… tell… you” Doctor Oliver stammered.
“I’m listening” Tolliver said.
“I don’t know the reason why Mr Connor wants to kill Jupiter and her dad…. I am Jupiter’s parent family doctor. One day I was in my office when Mr Connor called and told me if I could kill Jupiter and her dad, I was so shocked when I heard what he said. Mr Connor offered me some money so I did the job by telling the maids to put Methylmercury poison in his food everyday…”
“What is the poison for?” Tolliver asked.
“The poison kills a person slowly…. two days later, Jupiter called and told me her father is so sick that she is coming to the hospital with him, immediately she hung up. I called Mr Connor and he said he has planned everything so I shouldn’t worry about it. One of his as-sas-sins is working as a driver at Jupiter’s dad Mansion and the driver would be the one to drive them to the hospital. Some hours later when I called Mr Connor he said Jupiter and her dad are dead… please don’t kill me, I have told you all i know” Doctor Oliver pleaded in tears.
Tolliver hit him with the stick.
“Please don’t hit me again… Jupiter has a twin and a younger, her mother divorced her dad and she took Jupiter’s twin brother and sister with her” Doctor Oliver shouted.
“Do you know the readers why Jupiter’s mom divorced her husband and what Jupiter’s twin brother and younger sister is?” Tolliver asked, gazing at him.
“I don’t know the reason Jupiter’s mom divorced her husband but I know Jupiter’s twin brother and sister name…. Jupiter’s twin brother name is Wyatt while her sister is Leah” Doctor Oliver said.
“You are so wicked, Oliver” Tolliver shouted and hit him.
Doctor Oliver screamed.
“Who is Mr Connor?” Tolliver asked, gazing at him.
“I have his picture on my phone” Doctor Oliver said.
“Okay” Tolliver said and took out the phone from his pocket.
“Is this his picture” Tolliver asked and shook his head.
Fifteen seconds later.
“This… is… him” Doctor Oliver said.
“Oh, this is the wicked man… I promise, I am gonna kill you Connor” Tolliver said and smashed the phone.

An hour later, Rico and Bianca with Harper got inside, they met only ru-by in the sitting room watching a movie. Immediately ru-by saw them and she stood up and hu-gged Bianca. Harper smi-rked and sat down on the couch.
“Harper, how are you doing?” ru-by asked with a smile.
“I’m good” Harper said and faked a smile.
“Where is Aaron?” Rico asked, facing ru-by.
“He is upstairs, sleeping” ru-by replied.
Rico was about to climb the stairs up when Harper called him.
“What is it, Harper?” Rico asked.
“Can I come along… I want to see Aaron” Harper said with a pout.
Rico chuckled.
“Sure” Rico said and she smile.
“Get them every time” Harper said and went upstairs with Rico.
When they got to the room, they met Aaron sleeping, Harper sat down with him then she shouted into his ear. Aaron screamed and frowned.

“Harper” Aaron called with a frown.
“Do you miss me?” Harper asked and Aaron shook his head.
Harper smi-rked.
“I know you missed me… Brother, Aaron doesn’t miss me, let’s go” Harper said and wink at Rico.
She was about to walked out when Aaron shouted her name.
“You missed me” Harper said as she turned back.
Aaron nodded.
“I know you miss her, you are lying” Rico said and Aaron rolled.
“I wanna ask you a question” Harper said, with a smile.
“Oh, Harper I just wake up… don’t stress me” Aaron said and Harper frowned.
“Okay, what do you want to ask?” Aaron asked, gazing at her.
She smiled.
“Is that your new wife?” Harper asked and Aaron nodded.
“Huh, what about Jupiter?” Harper asked.
Aaron and Rico glanced at each other.
“Harper, Jupiter is dead” Rico blurted out.
“What? Who killed her… I love sister Jupiter so much, she can’t die” Harper said and tears streamed down her face.
“Harper, it’s okay” Rico said and hu-gged her then he patted her back.
“Harper, I’m sorry… we didn’t tell you” Aaron said and held her hand.
“I miss her” Harper said as she wiped her tears away.
“Sorry, dear… let’s go to the sitting room” Rico said and Harper nodded then they left.
Aaron was about to get down on the bed when his phone rang, he picked up.
“Hello, Dad” Aaron said.
“Aaron. I have seen Jupiter, she is alive… I wish I can I kill her the day I saw her but someone…”
“Dad, how can you do this? You know all what we have today is Jupiter’s parents properties… can’t you leave the girl alone, she has even lost her memories” Aaron said.
“I know all the properties I call mine are for my friend Williams who is Jupiter’s dad… I nee-d to kill the girl so that she won’t exp-ose my secrets” Mr Connor shouted.
“Dad, please don’t kill Jupiter… do this for me” Aaron said.
“Don’t tell me you still love the girl, I want you to forget the girl that was the reason why I told you to marry ru-by” Mr Connor said.
“Dad, why are you so heartless? Are you even a human?” Aaron said in tears.
“I am hanging up now” Mr Connor said and hung up.
Aaron smashed the phone and screamed.

“Okay” Harper said and was about to leave when she stopped the she faced ru-by.
“Sister ru-by, do you know sister Jupiter?” Harper asked, gazing at her.

“Yes, I told her” Bianca said.
“Do you think she was killed or she…”
“Harper, we don’t know” Bianca cut in.
“Okay” Harper said and left.
“Did she know Jupiter?” ru-by asked and Bianca nodded.
“Oh!” ru-by said.
An hour later, ru-by and Bianca were done cooking.
“Thanks for teaching me how to cook” ru-by said with a smile.
“You are welcome, babe” Bianca said, walking out of the kitchen with a tray.
When she got to the sitting, she served the food.
“Wow, the food is delicious” Rico said with a smile.
“Really,” Harper said as she took a spoon.
Rico nodded.
“ru-by” Bianca called and ru-by answered.
“Go and call Aaron upstairs” Bianca said.
“When he is ready to eat, he will come down” ru-by said as she sat down.
“Sister ru-by, he is your husband…. he is your husband so give him some respect” Harper said.
“Keep quiet” Rico said and glared at her.
Harper rolled.
“Hello guys” Aaron said as he climbed the stairs down.

“Stone, have you found any evidence about where Jupiter is?” Mr Connor asked, gazing at her.
“No, I am still searching for her… Boss, since the day you left the hospital I haven’t seen Doctor Oliver” Stone said.
“Yeah… I don’t know what is wrong with him, I have called his number. Wait… did Oliver want to run away, he thought I won’t search for him” Mr Connor said.
“Boss, don’t think we should kill Doctor Oliver now… his job is done” Stone said and Mr Connor nodded.

“Don’t worry, I will send payment to you very soon” Mr Connor said.
“Okay” Stone said and left.
