MONTERIO’S FAMILY HOUSE***
Mr. Monterio sat in the dining room alone, Lilian was absent.
He faced one of the maids
“Call Lilian out for breakfast” he ordered.
“Yes, Chairman,” the maid said and left.
Moments later, she returned and there was no sign of Lilian behind her
“Where’s she?” Mr. Monterio asked.
“Miss Lilian said she’s not hungry,” the maid replied.
Mr. Monterio dropped the fork in his hand and stood up from the chair.
“Clear the table,” he said.
“Sir?” The maids chorused.
“Trash the food away,” he said and left the dining room.
He was on his way to Lilian’s room when she came out dressed in her uniform, her backpack behind her.
On sighting him, Lilian rolled her eyes inwardly and walked past him without uttering any word of greetings to him.
“Why didn’t you have your breakfast?” Mr. Monterio asked, stopping her from taking any further move.
“Because I refuse to dine with you,” Lilian said.
“Why? You refused to eat with me last night too” he turned to face her.
“Isn’t that obvious? Brother is angry with you right now and he’s not been picking up my calls all because of you! And you expect me not to be angry?”
“I won’t stop doing this till you do the proper thing, which is apologizing to Brother and his girlfriend,” Lilian said and left.
Mr. Monterio exhaled loudly.
Truth be told, he has been troubled ever since Charles left the house. Even after all that he did to her, she still refused to collect the money he offered her.
“She’s different, really different” he mumbled to himself, turning and walking to his room.

BROOKLYN’S RESIDENCE***
“What?” Sebastian’s spoon fell from his hands.
“Are you sure she’s not in? Have you checked the bathroom?” Leah asked.
“Yes, she’s not there,” Jaime muttered.
Leah and Sebastian exchanged glances and at once, Leah picked up her phone and dialed Hailey’s number.
“She’s not picking,” she muttered after a while.
“You don’t have to panic, Mom. Hailey must have gone early to work, you know how much she loves her job” Jaime said.
“Do you think so? What if…”
“Wait Dad… Do you think she was kidnapped?” Jaime asked, staring at his Dad in incredulity.
He suddenly burst into a laugh.
“Dad! Hailey is not a kid anymore, okay? Even me too, I’m an adult” Jaime said, still laughing.
“You’re just being overprotective,” he muttered, sitting on the floor.
Sebastian glared at him.
“Will you keep your mouth shut or I should do that for you?”
Jaime raised his hand and zi-pped his mouth imaginably.
“Seb, Jaime might be right. Hailey must have gone to work because she doesn’t joke with her job.”
Sebastian sighed.
“Keep trying her number,” he muttered.

CHARLES’ MANSON***
Waking up with the most beautiful woman in the world in his arms felt like the best to Charles. Last night was the best night of his life, and knowing that he was her first made him overjoyed.
He stared at her as she slept peacefully in his arms. Her delicate body was curled like a baby, seeking protection from her mother.
He chuckled as he recalled their lovemaking the previous night, he couldn’t believe she was going to ask for more. She was awesome for a first-timer.
He raised his hand and touched her soft cheeks, he smiled softly.
“Can I love you less, Cara?” He mumbled.
He leaned closer and ki-ssed her eyebrow. He felt her smile against him, her body leaning closer to his.
He pulled away and smiled when he saw her eyelid moving. She was awake, he could sense that.
“Are you going to be faking your sleep all day, Cara?” He asked.
Slowly, Hailey opened her eyes and smiled shyly. It still felt new to her, she wasn’t a vir-ginanymore.
“Good morning, love” he whispered, leaning his face closer to hers.
“Morning, Sunshine” she whispered too.
He smiled and ki-ssed her softly on the li-ps. He pulled away and lic-ked his li-ps afterward.
He pulled her head to his ch-est and placed his hand on her hair, ru-bbing it softly.
“Thank you, Cara. For giving yourself to me and trusting me, I promise to not let you down” he murmured.
Hailey smiled against his ch-est, sniffing in his manly musk. Last night, she saw another side of herself. She couldn’t believe she was asking for more despite her being sore.
“You were wild last night” she heard him saying.
Her cheeks reddened and she hid her face in his ch-est.
“But I love it that way, I love the fact that you showed it to me, not anyone else,” he muttered.
“Stop being Nau-ghty, it’s still early in the morning,” she scolded.
Charles smiled.
“Thank you for not leaving me, Cara. Even after what my Dad did to your family, thanks for not giving up on our love” he muttered.
“My parents are in support of our relationship” she said.
Charles moved back a bit so he could stare at her face.
“They told me not to give up on our love, I was so glad” she muttered.
He smiled widely.
“Don’t worry Cara, I will make sure something like that will never happen again” he said.
Hailey’s eyes wide-ned as though she suddenly remembered something. She didn’t tell anyone about her whereabouts and they’ll be worried as hell!
“My goodness!” She sprang up from the bed, wrapping the cover around her but regretted it immediately she felt some pains in the middle of her thi-ghs.
“Oh my!” She gro-aned, falling back to the bed right in Charles’s arms.
“My middle hurts,” she cried.
Charles giggled.
“And you kept asking for more last night,” he said.
Hailey glared at him before pushing him away.
“Shut up,” she said.
She tried to stand up again but he stopped her by pulling her to him.
“Stop that, you’re gonna hurt yourself the more” he said.
“I need to go home, my parents will be so worried,” she said, panicking silently.
“You didn’t tell them you were coming?” He asked in surprise.
“Yeah, I just rushed over,” she bit her li-ps.
Charles smiled, he stretched his hand and took his phone from the nightstand.
“Here. Call them and say you’re in my place” he said.
Hailey stared at him in disbelief. Was he kidding her right now?
“Are you serious?”
“What? You didn’t bring your phone, did you? Call them with mine and explain that you’re in my house”
Hailey slapped her forehead in frustration. She collected the phone from him and dialed her Mom’s number.
“Hello, who’s on the line please?” She heard Leah’s voice.
“Mom, it’s me, Hailey,” she said.
“Hailey? Oh my God, your Dad and I were so worried. Why haven’t you been picking my calls?”
“I forgot my phone at home, Mom. I’m sorry if I made you worried”
“Where are you?” Leah asked.
“I’m….” Hailey stared at Charles whose eyes were on her before she looked away.
“I’m at work, Mom. I had some things to do so I rushed over without telling anyone. I forgot my phone in the process” she lied, biting her li-ps.
“I guessed so. So, whose number is this?” Leah asked.
“Er… I need to go now, Mom. Bye” she ki-ssed the phone before disconnecting the call.
“Never knew my Cara Mia is a great liar” Charles teased. He stood up and her eyes wide-ned, she quickly turned her eyes away.
“Can you just put on your clothes?” She half yelled.
“I don’t want to,” Charles replied, walking to her.
“Don’t come closer if you aren’t gonna put on any clothes” Hailey warned.
He ignored her and carried her in his arms, removing the covers from her body in the process.
“What are you doing?” Hailey asked.
“What does it look like to you?” He asked back.
Hailey’s eyes wide-ned. Were they going to bathe together?
She stared at Charles who winked at her in return.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL***
Jaime was walking to the ward Layla was in when he saw Mrs. Rogers outside, pacing nervously. He walked to her.
“Good morning, ma” he greeted.
“Yea, morning,” Mrs. Rogers replied.
“Why are you staying outside?” He asked. His eyes suddenly went wide.
“Is something wrong with Layla?” He asked.
Mrs. Rogers shook her head.
“No, she’s awake,” she said.
“Really?” Jaime’s eyes twinkled in excitement.
“Yes, but…” He was already inside the ward before she could complete her sentence.
“She lost her memory” she completed to herself.
***
Jaime entered the ward and his eyes landed on Layla who was staring at nothing in particular. He smiled before rushing to her, pulling her to a sudden hug.
Layla’s eyes wide-ned.
“You did it, Layla. You woke up, thank you so much” he whispered happily.
“Who are you?” Layla asked which shocked him. He broke the hug to stare at her
“What?”
She pushed him away and he staggered but quickly held himself from falling to the ground.
“How can you come in here and just hug me? Who are you? A pervert?” She shouted.
“What are you saying? It’s me, Jaime” Jaime said, still staring at her in shock.
“Jaime?” She whispered.
“Yes, it’s me. What’s wrong, Layla?”
Mrs. Rogers entered at that moment and joined them.
“She lost her memory,” she said.
“What?” Jaime looked at her before staring at Layla whose eyes were on him.
“She’s suffering from amnesia according to the Doctor,” Mrs. Rogers said.
“Oh no,” Jaime whispered. Does that mean she won’t recognize him anymore?
“By the way, aren’t you going to school?” Mrs. Rogers asked.
“I am,” he replied.
“Then you should go, it’s getting late. You can check on her later” she said.
Jaime nodded absentmindedly, still staring at Layla. He looked away and faced Mrs. Rogers.
“I’ll be going now,” he smiled. He stared at Layla for a while before leaving.
“Who’s he?” Layla asked, still staring at the door.
“Your friend from school,” Mrs. Rogers said.
“Are you hungry now? Should I bring in your food?”
Layla rolled her eyes before lying on the bed.
“No, thanks. Who knows if you might have poisoned the food like you’ve always wanted” she muttered, turning her back to her Mom.
Mrs. Rogers’ eyes wide-ned.
“Baby!”
“Can you please leave? I’m feeling sleepy and your presence is a disturbance to me”
Mrs. Rogers swallowed hard.
“I’ll be outside, baby. Just call me if you need anything” she stared at her daughter for a while before walking out.
Layla sat up and held her head when an excruciating pain hit her.
“Jaime,” she whispered, still clutching her head in pain.

MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
Jace entered the company and went to take the elevator. He came to find out if Charles and Hailey are back together.
He entered the elevator and just when the door was about to close, a hand suddenly stopped it and Sunny entered, pan-ting heavily.
“Sorry” she said breathlessly.
She stood far away from him and arranged her hair. She woke up late today and worst still, there was traffic on the road. She was sure she was going to be queried by her Boss.
Jace raised his head from his phone and glanced at her. His eyes went wide and his phone fell from his hand in the process.
That caught Sunny’s attention, she turned to him and gasped when she saw his phone on the floor, the screen was cracked already.
“Oh my,” she bent and picked it before handing it to him.
All throu-gh, Jace’s eyes were on her and his mouth was wide open.
“Hello?” Sunny called when he didn’t make a move to collect the phone from her.
The elevator dinged and he hurriedly placed the phone on his ch-est, the phone fell, this time breaking into pieces and she gasped again.
“I’m so sorry” she bowed and rushed out of the elevator immediately.
“Who’s she?” Jace muttered before letting out a smile.
“She’s beautiful,” he mumbled.
He touched his heart which was already beating fast and rubbed it slowly.
“I just found my missing rib,” he whispered to himself.
***
He came out of the elevator still smiling to himself but the smile got wiped out from his face when he saw an annoying face in front of Charles’ door.
“Stephanie?” He called.
Stephanie turned to his direction and smiled.
“Hi Jace, longest time” she said.
Jace scoffed angrily before walking to her, he dragged her by the arm rou-ghly, walking back to the elevator.
“How dare you bi-tch show up your ugly face here? Aren’t you ashamed?” He yelled.
“Dude, calm down, okay? I’m not here for you but Charles” she smiled.
“Oh, really? Well, lemme tell you this, Charles is not in at the moment. Why? Because he’s with the woman of his life at the moment” Jace said spitefully.
“What?” Her eyes wide-ned.
“No, that can’t happen. He can’t do this to me” she rou-ghed her hair. She pushed Jace away from her and entered the elevator.
Jace stared at her till the door closed before bringing out his phone.
“Why is he not picking up?” He muttered as he kept dialing Charles’ line.

CHARLES’ MANSON***
Charles walked to the kitchen with Hailey in his arms. He placed her on the kitchen counter before going to the fridge. He brou-ght out a bottle of yogurt and poured it into a glas-scup before walking back to her.
“Here” he handed it to her.
Hailey smiled and collected it from him. She took a sip and mo-aned out in plea-sure.
“This tastes so good” she mo-aned as she continued sipping the yogurt.
“Stop making that sound, Cara,” Charles muttered.
She stopped drinking the yogurt and stared at him.
“Why? Do you want a taste too?” She asked.
Charles shook his head before smiling naughtily.
“I want something else,” he muttered.
“What?” She asked.
He placed his hand on her thi-ghs which were exposed as a result of the shorts she’s wearing.
“This,” he raised her top and captured a pink bud in his mouth.
Hailey gasped and the glas-scup fell from her hand, the yogurt splattering on the floor.
“Sunshine” she mo-aned cutely.
“Let’s spend the rest of the day at home together” he muttered against her ch-est.
Hailey nodded meekly, still holding unto him.
Her eyes wide-ned when she realized what he just uttered and she pushed him away.
“What? I can’t do that, I don’t joke with my job, yunno?” She said,
“Well, you’re sore and…”
“Fine, fine” she rolled her eyes and he smiled.
“So, shall we continue?”
She glared at him and pushed him away from her.
“No, Mister!”
She came down from the counter and limped to the door. She felt Charles laughing behind her and she turned to him with a frown.
“What’s funny?”
“You seem to need my help but yet you keep pushing me away” he grinned.
“I can walk by myself. Don’t think so highly of yourself” she said
“You can’t go in, ma’am”
“Tell Charles I’m here to see him, he won’t refuse me anyway”
“What are you doing? Throw her out!”
They heard noises and they both exchanged glances.
“Are you expecting anyone?” Hailey asked.
“I’ll check,” Charles said. He went out of the kitchen and she followed him behind, or should I say limping?
***
“What’s going on here?” Charles asked.
The guards who were trying to throw Stephanie out of the house stopped when they saw him.
“Good morning, Boss” they bowed their heads.
Charles stared at Stephanie and he laughed in disbelief. Did she come to see him or what?
“Charles, good thing you came outside. You need to sack these men, they’re so incompetent. How could they think of throwing me out” Stephanie said, trying to move closer to him.
“Don’t” he stopped her with a hand.
Hailey appeared at that moment and the first thing Stephanie noticed was the way she was limping. Her eyes went to the clothes she was putting on before staring at Charles. He was shirtless.
“Don’t tell me…” She mumbled, staring at Hailey.
“What’s she doing here?” Hailey asked, holding Charles’ arm.
Charles placed his hand around her wai-st before looking at Stephanie who was already smoking with anger.
“Think she came to beg for money or sort” Charles shrugged.
Stephanie’s eyes wide-ned.
What?!
