         Seon went out with his friend Aiden to a close by Mall to purchase the necessary stuffs he and Aiden would be needing for the wedding..
    Aiden will be his best man and they’ve decided on that already.
    While their shopping were in process, a discussion ensued between them.
    “It’s three days from your wedding seon. I hope you are good about it” 
    Aiden asked in an inquisitive manner.. 
    “I don’t wanna talk about it” he blurted out nonchalantly.. he hasn’t really been a Happy man for the past days and the reason is clearly obvious.
    “Okay Man” Aiden sighed out…. Letting the discussion die down as they waited to cash out their stuffs.. while seated on a chair.
    Aiden gave out a stretchy yawn signifying how tired he has grown waiting for the whatever attendant to attend to them so they’ll cash out and just Walk away.
    He glared at the TV screen before him and noticed the volume was muted.
    Good thing… He thought within himself…
    He paused all of a sudden when he noticed something.. there was a familiar feminine picture on the television screen which confirmed exactly his thought who she was …
    This is the same picture of the woman seon has showed him on his phone to be Louisa, the Same Louisa seon used as his wall paper on his laptop and phone.
    “Hey buddy” he nudged at him…
    “Check this out” he gestured, pointing towards the screen.
      Seon’s eyes followed his hands and landed straight on the screen.
    He arched, sitting upright. ” Louisa” he mouthed out.
    Why is she on the TV? The volume isn’t loud enough to hear what this is all about…
    Aiden was quick to get hold of the remote and without hesitation, increased the volume.
    NEWS CASTER:—” …… And it’s on everyone’s lips that the famous Louisa Sullivan is the masked murderer behind the death of Jonathan Bucks. 
    The truth about all of this is yet to be uncovered… And this case is still pending…
    Another Headline for today is….”
    “Louisa ” seon drawled out under his breath… What’s the meaning of this? Who could have done this to her?
    Aiden tuned down the volume cause it was kind of causing awareness.
    “Do you know about this?”  Aiden twitched
    “Yes, I do… But Louisa is. NOT a Murderer Aiden. Whoever made this up is a total scammer” 
    He ranted out in Anger.
    “What’s going on Seon?”
    “It’s a long story Aiden… And this sh°t has gone viral.. I wonder how Louisa is feeling right now…
    She never really told anyone this aside I and Bayley.. so how come this blonder???”
    He Soliloquised within himself… This alone could ruin Louisa’s life if care isn’t taken.

            THURSDAY MORNING 
       Mrs Zilia smiled in Satisfaction as she ended the call. She just finished talking with Louisa who has been calling for days now without any response from her.. she just decided to pick her calls this morning.
    She never really knew it was Louisa , she had actually thought it to be some of those nosers who hasn’t stopped calling to get a full detail about Louisa’s murder case.
    After her call with Louisa, she couldn’t stop laughing like a lunatic. 
    Louisa wants to defend her name and she has demanded to see her..
    Meet up or no meet up, a murderer remains a murderer… There’s really nothing there to defend.
    “Mom” Andrea interrupted from behind. Startling her mom who didn’t notice her presence before.
    “Yes candy?” She twitched… Her daughter’s Face isn’t looking bright this morning… What’s the problem with her? Did she have a bad dream or something..?
    “Mom…” 
    “Wahts the problem Andy?” 
    She asked her daughter who obviously began sobbing profusely.
    “Pl–please let Damon be.. I beg of you… It’s not too late to cancel the search party for him.. please Mom don’t hurt him…
    You can let him escape out of the country.. but please don’t hurt him”
    Mrs Zilia scoffed at her daughter’s plea.. she gave her daughter a disgusting look…
    “You disappoint me Andrea’. I never knew you were a weakling. I know that part of you was gotten from your father..
    It’s a disease Andy.. cure it! Damon is your weakness.. cut him off your life”
    She adviced….
    “No please Mom…” She paused…
    “I love him” she muttered out smoothly
    “I love him so much… He’s my world and .
    “Oh please shut the hell up Andrea. Just fvcking shut up!!! I don’t want to hear anymore of Damon. Do you understand” .she fired back at her daughter causing her to squirm underneath her.
    “O-Okay.. M-mom” she stuttered in fear.
    Mrs Zilia stared long at her daughter.. Feeling so bad for shouting at her and also making her scared.
    She pulled her  to herself and soothed her with words..
    “I’m really sorry for raising my voice at you… Won’t do that again” she promised as Andrea whimpered…
    “Please Damon’s case is closed. It’s your wedding you should be concerned about, not him… You are getting married to a multi millionaire and you should be happy about it and forget that wretch.”
    Mrs Zilia consoled her daughter as she nodded vigorously to her mom’s every word suppressing the sadness that has erupted her heart.
    Damon should run away from Italy and never ever return for his life’s sake.
    She really can’t bear to loose him. She loves him so much and her mom wanna tear them apart.
    She sobbed silently as her mind rewinded to Louisa and Seon….
    Was this how they felt when she tore them apart cause of her selfish desires?
    Gosh! If really this was how they felt then, it hurts like hell.
    Is this how Karma is repaying her for what she did to those two genuine lovers?
    If it is, ….
    She definitely regrets every step she took to ruin their relationship ..
    If only there was a way to make amends.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Seon decided on a stroll that cool evening.. to clear of his heavy thoughts and think straight at least. 
    The case of Louisa is everywhere and everybody now thinks her as a murderer. 
    He heard Rioters shut down Lintel Companies and threatened to burn it down if Louisa isn’t brought to justice.
    He can’t help but wonder how Louisa is faring right now.
    For innocent-sake Louisa is guilt-free. She only tried to defend herself from the cruel maltreatment Jonathan Bucks was melting on her. 
    Gosh! She was too tender for all of those. Jonathan simply deserved what he got the truth be told.
    The peo…
    He paused all of a sudden,… Realizing strange movements behind him.
    First, he thought it to be nothing.. but how strange it was that when he increased his pace, the person did too. This person’s Face isn’t clear cause he’s putting on a hoodie… But it’s clearly obvious he is a guy…
    “Who the f* CK is he?”  He asked under his breath as he increased to jogging.
    He jogged along a straight path and this stalker was still behind him.
    Seon was getting rather pissed off.
    He looked ahead of him and saw a bend. He smiled wickedly to himself and jogged faster till he got to the bend and swiftly diverted..
    The stalker followed from behind. He also took the route he saw seon take..
    unfortunately for him, when he diverted, seon wasn’t in view anymore..
    He stood at a spot.. eyes darting everywhere in search of seon.
    He never got to roam his eyes for so long before seon grabbed him from behind. Twisting his hands to his back firmly and pushing him against the wall..
    The stalker howled in excruciating pain as seon tightened his grip on him .
    “Stop! Stop! …. It’s me”  he shouted in wincing in pains…
    Seon spied his face and hesitated before letting go of him… 
    The shock on seon’s Face when the stalker finally took off his hoodie couldn’t be suppressed..
    He gawked at him in sheer puzzlement..
    “Damon Graves??”

          3:35pm
       Damon Walked into Mrs Zilia mansion and found no one inside. 
    It hasn’t been long he saw the text Andrea’s mom sent to him.
    It stated clearly on the text that she had kept something for him on the dinning.
    He walked briskly over to the dinning table… His eyes caught the parcel on top of it and without hesitation, he picked it up and opened.
    As expected, it was from Mrs Zilia to him. He quietly read within himself…
    “What?” He arched in puzzlement.
    “What am I going to do there?” He asked scratching his hair… 
    He doesn’t know why Mrs Zilia has directed him into her Chambers…
    “Lemme just check” he concluded walking straight to the given direction.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Ma’am Schwezilia checked her watch continously waiting for Damon’s arrival.
    She, as usual was in her secret vault with Andrea. She has already prepared a way to unknowingly lure Damon down here.
    *Everyone knows the consequences of letting a stranger into the vault*
    They can’t actually risk such huge secret to anyone.
    “How are you preparing so far for your wedding Andrea? It’s just five days from now”
    “Huh… I’m okay and good about it.. call it excitement. I’m just happy about it” she retorted
    Mrs Zilia sighed out in relief and then continued….
    “I called Robert Kent’, the journalist of daily planet. Told him to come tomorrow that I’ve got a story to tell” 
    “And I’m sure it’s about Louisa” Andrea’ huffed
    “Who else? I’m ready for her now. Can’t just wait to see her crumble to her feet” Mrs Zilia stated in so much delight.
    “Do whatever pleases you with her.. I don’t have any business with her” Andrea retorted nonchalantly.
    “I was act…….
    She paused when she began hearing footsteps..
    Andrea arched all of a sudden. Who was coming? 
    The footsteps were becoming louder signifying the person was coming towards their direction…
    But who? She asked within herself.
    It didn’t take up to ten minutes before the person came to view.
    ” What the hell, Damon!” Andrea’ gasped in shock
    “Andrea’? What are you doing here? I mean…. What’s this place?” 
    He asked clearly in confusion as his eyes darted everywhere.
    “You ain’t supposed to be here Damon! Why are you here? How did you ge…
    “I swear I know nothing about this place.. I was only following…
    “Red Team get down here. We have an intruder…
    Do you copy? “
    Andrea’s eyes smelt fear. She stared at her mom in dismay…
    Her mom is seriously calling the Red Team for Damon… And she knows what that means…
    “Run! Damon! Run! ….. Get out of here” 
    She shouted at damon…Her voice suddenly became teary.
    She knows if the Red Team meets him here, they’ll surely kill him.
    Damon who smelt danger from the onset, picked to his heels.
    Mrs Zilia smiled evilly to herself. “He’s now a threat Andrea.. ” 
    “No mom he isn’t.. I beg of you please don’t do this to him. Please!!!!” Andrea cried out.
    ” He saw everything down here… We can’t risk him with such information. 
    Trust me Andy, it’s the best option we have. We can’t let him off with such information about what he saw down here” 
    Mrs Zilia explained to her daughter who couldn’t hold it anymore as she cried out in frustration.
    “But…. I…I..
    She gasped..
    “I love him” it came out almost like a whisper causing her mom to frown so hard at her daughter’s confession.
    “You are so ridiculous… To hell with your stupid Love. There’s virtually nothing we can do at the moment… It’s our policy down here, to protect our secret at all cost..”
    She paused and then walked few steps away from Andrea..
    “Even if it cost us the life of our loved ones” she added before walking out of her presence…
    Smiling in satisfaction to herself.
    * There’s really no choice, Damon has to die* 
    And her red team are already seeing to that.
    Damon is already out of the picture 
             Two Days Later 
         Louisa Sullivan drove into her company that beautiful morning.
    She scoffed aloud when she saw the way most of the employees where staring at her.
    She frowned and ignored their daft reaction towards her this morning. She doesn’t for one bit like the scornful looks on their faces as they stared at her.
    She finally walked past them, gaining full entrance into her building. 
    More of the employees stepped away from her in fear..
    She began hearing whispers from them as she walked past….
    ‘ I ain’t Surprised at all.. she’s a freak’
    A lady whispered to her colleague as they weirdly stared at her.
    She just ignored and walked past like she didn’t hear a thing. If it was to be her old self, she would have made that lady chew on her tongue.
    Louisa couldn’t help with the way everyone was staring at her with hot eyes. .
    ‘She deserves to be in jail’ 
    Another said
    ‘she’s evil’
    ‘ how could she murder a man that cartered for her in cold blood ‘
    Why were they all whispering inaudibly?
    She felt like she was gonna throttle as she walked past each of them..
    Why were they all staring at her in such manner?
    She asked pushing her door open.
    After setting her stuffs right, she put a call through Mrs Dawkins her secretary.
    Louisa waited for many more minutes before Mrs Dawkins finally found her way into her office.
    “Twenty-five- fvcking Minutes Dawkins!!!” Louisa who was obviously angry at her late arrival shouted as she took slow steps towards her.
    Mrs Dawkins shrinked on a spot panting very fast as Louisa approached her.
    “Ple-please Don’t hurt me” she cried out in fear…
    “Hurt you? Why would I do that?” She asked in a query Manner.. staring at the woman before her who seemed obviously scared of her…
    Why is everyone acting strange towards her?
     Someone better tell her what the hell is wrong with all the staffs…
    “You know what Mrs Dawkins, ….why not start by telling me why the fvcking staffs are staring and same time whispering at me in a weird manner…”
    Louisa blurted out, causing Mrs Dawkins to swallow a hard lump down her throat..

         Hours Later 
     ITALY:  MILANO CITY 
       Andrea’ walked into her mom’s beautiful mansion with smiles all over her face. It’s been a while she spent some time with her mom. Always with her bossy dad and annoying twin brother ‘ Aiden’ who sadly, took a liking of his dad over his mom.. She thought.
    “Mommy I’m home” she squealed.
    “I can see” her mom replied coming out of her Chambers.
    “I’ve Miss you Mommy” she purred pulling herself into her mom’s arms.
    “Missed you too Andy” she retorted.
    “You should never take my calls for granted young lady” Mrs Zilia frowned. Disengaging from her.
    “Sorry Mom. Was actually muddled up in a mess” she retorted scratching her hair.
    “What mess?”
    “It’s seon. He has left new York City to God knows where. Leaving me at square zero. Seeing is a really hard person to find. He can decide to travel to the western continents without leaving a trace behind’  Andre complained bitterly.
    “I don’t know what you see in seon, but all the Same. He’s good for you. Considering what you’ll achieve with him” 
    “Thank God you understand better than dad” she rolled her eyes..
    “And concerning seon,”… Mrs Zilia began
    “, your dad called and asked about you. He said Aiden announced to him this morning that seon is around and currently in his home”
    “What?? That creepy $on-of-a- ßitch!” She cursed.
    “Why is he back? Thought he would never let go of her” Andrea added on puzzlement.
    “Is he into another girl?” Mrs Zilia asked.
    “Thought so.. I think he’s done with her” 
    “Who is this ‘Her’ ?”
    “Louisa Sullivan..” Andrea drawled.
    Mrs Zilia tsked. ” Speaking of Louisa, do you have what I asked for?” 
    “Yes mom… I do”
    “Good” she muttered.
    “But mom, why did you request for it.? What have you got with her?” Andrea finally asked the question that has been bothering her.
    ” Come with me” she instructed taking her to her Chambers.
    “No mom. Not the vault again” she frowned hard.
    “Just shut up and follow me!” She ordered reaching for the curtain. She swiped it aside and a door came into view.
    She pressed the visible red button and it opened.
    They both stepped in and the elevator closed back again. 
    Mrs Zilia pressed the second button and soon, they started decelerating. 
    “How have you been coping without me mom”
    “Not well, ” her mom blurted out.
    “But mom you actually know what this has cost you remember.? It cost you your marriage cause dad got really mad about it”
    Mrs Zilia smiled. “Bad for him. I’m better off without your dad. Don’t need any assistance financially or whatever” 
    “It’s a good thing you took after me Andrea, not like you brother who’s bent over doing what he thinks is right” She huffed shaking her head.
    The elevator suddenly came to a stop and the door opened itself.
    They stepped out and walked along the long thin passage which had a faint light emitting from the bulb’s…
    “…Months ago, we lost track of a little girl. Her name’s Ciara Cole. She escaped and started living with Louisa Sullivan…” 
    Mrs Zilia started.
    Andrea scoffed. ” Make me understand something here mom… Is that why you are so obsessed with her?”
    “…Ciara left my grasp and leaned unto Louisa for some months…. Luckily she was later found and brought back here. Then after some procedures with a therapist, I got to know she leaked every d@mn information to Louisa… And you know what that means” 
    “This isn’t good at all” Andrea panicked biting her lower lip.
    “I know, that’s why I asked you to do that for me… So I can blackmail her for good before she destroys my own reputation” she smirked hard, taking a stop before a door.
    She placed her thumb on a small digital screen which initialized it and the opened. Giving them access into the room…
    “Well mom, what I have here is more than  blackmail.. it’s a real truth about Louisa and it can as well destroy her reputation” She grinned wickedly.
    “Interesting”  she commented as they stopped before a wide transparent screen.
    “Is that the little girl?” Andrea asked
    “Yes” her mom nodded smiling at what she’s seeing.. her agents were training her.
    “Isn’t she too young to be holding a gun?” Andrea asked in puzzlement.
    “It isn’t a gun Andy, it’s a riffle. It’s used for training.. she’ll have to master that before she gets a hold of the real thing”
    ” She’s too tender mom” 
    “..but brave. She’s braver than all my girls and that’s why I chose her for a course like this. 
    I’m just preparing her now for a greater tomorrow. She’ll get used to this technique just like Monique. 
    Oh bless her soul” Mrs Zilia crossed her heart with her fingers.
    “Monique was my best agent before death took her away.. she started her training at age ten to withstand pain and other necessities.  when she Finally grew up to the age of maturity, 
    She was my favorite until those nose poking FBI’s killed her for drugs exploitation” 
    “Doesn’t that get you scared mom? Sending a little girl for hard drugs? Isn’t that worse?” Andrea panicked arching a brow at her mom.
    ” That’s the plan. She is so innocent and no one will suspect a thing about her. Trust me Andrea’ I know what I’m doing” 
    “Just the way no one will suspect you for such great dealing… You created a secret vault underneath your house. Hmmm smart mommy”  Andrea sighed out staring at the electrical facilities around her. Her mom is truly a genius.
    ” Yeah yeah, so what did you find out about Louisa? ” She changed the topic.
    Andrea paused dipping her hand into her pocket. ” Here” she handed a small phone over to her mom.
    “Everything you need to ruin Louisa is right there” 
    “Thank you” Mrs Zilia smirked evilly…

    Seon paced to and fro in his room. He has gotten himself into a big mess. 
    All his plans are crumbling…
    He had planned on getting back Ciara and suprise Louisa in order to make her so much happy so in time, he’ll make his true intentions known to her by making her his lawful wife. And they’ll all go back to Italy to live happily.
    That was his actual plan!
     But there came a girl called Andrea.. 
    All his plans are failing bit by bit.
    Andrea is pregnant for him🙆🏻♂️..
    Considering their family status, the solution at hand is to make her his wife… 
    But he can’t do that! He will never try such with a woman who forced her way back into his life.
    He’ll just have to let Andrea out to birth then he’ll take Fu responsibilities of the baby and also push through with Louisa. 
    But will Louisa agree to this term? She is really hurt now and he doesn’t know what to tell her. 
    Louisa can sometimes be unpredictable..
    Will she accept this idea???
    He can’t risk losing Louisa. He has no choice than to tell her his plans. 
    God helping him, she’ll come to see things on his own perspective.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Louisa laid sober on her bed that night. Her face hardly seen due to the tuft that fell over it. Her eyes are sore from crying too much. 
    Lost in her own thoughts, the only thing her head clips on is Seon.
    Seon has shattered her heart to pieces. She never predicted he’d do such a thing to her.
    Even at the present situation on ground, her love for still grows stronger. Seon is her first love. And one thing about first love is that they are really hard to get over.
    No matter what seon did to her, she can’t still stop her heart from loving him. It really isn’t the end if the world though, Getting Andrea pregnant doesn’t really mean her relationship with seon must end. At Least she’s also carrying his child it’ll give seon more reasons to hold on to her.
    She’ll have to tell him about the pregnancy. He is the father and he has to know. Andrea’ doesn’t get to know she’s pregnant too for seon in order to avoid her devious plans. 
    The child inside of her is a blessing, not a burden….. 
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Bayley felt so restless. She hasn’t been herself since she paid Andrea a visit. Its going to two weeks and she hasn’t set eyes on her. She feels restless and certain that she had let out something vital to Andrea about her Friend Louisa. 
    She’s having the feeling that she did something terrible that night but she can’t remember anything. She hopes her instinct is wrong. She had severally tried Andrea’s digits to ask about the other night but her line isn’t connecting.
    She’s such a fool to have let stupid whiskers get the best out of her. She regrets her Addiction to drinks and pray her thoughts are just so wrong about that night. Only if she knew, she wouldn’t have visited that evening.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
               Next Morning 
          Andrea got  up  from her bed that morning placing a perk on Damon who laid beside her.
    “Good morning honey” she greeted.
    “Morning sunshine. Hope you slept well” 
    “Yeah sure I did. Besides I’m so excited, I’ve got a big day ahead” she retorted with a stretchy yawn.
    “Where to?” 
    “To seon’s of course” she blurted out
    “You know you kinda make me jealous whenever you make sure abrupt decisions to visit him.. anyway, I’ll adapt to it. 
    But the seon you are talking about won’t be at home at the moment. It’s workday remember?” 
    ” Then I’ll head to his office. Our discussion’s gonna be officially off the record” She stated Matter of factly.
    “If you say so my love. Just be careful” 
    “Always Baby… I’ll be more than careful infact” she smiled placing a hand on her stomach as she left for the bathroom.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                Minutes Later
         Andrea walked into Lintel Company beaming with smiles. Her radiating smiles had so much meaning attached to it.
    First, she’s gonna tell seon about her plans to go back to Italy with him. 
    He has no choice other than to comply. Her father is a prestigious man and he must marry her for impregnating his daughter. ‘his reputation might be at stake’ and that also works to the favour of Andrea’.. 
    * He really has no choice*
    She cornered her way through to seon’s office and walked in without even knocking. Suprisingly, no one was inside.
    ” That sneaky brat is supposed to be here” she cooed 
    “…or Maybe he’s around doing what he’d best at” she smirked, her mind drifting to Louisa.
    She assumed he’s with Louisa at the moment, so with that, she readied her steps to Louisa’s office. 
    Yet again, she didn’t know as expected before gaining entrance and to her surprise Louisa wasn’t there either. 
    She pried at every corner still standing at the door post. Seeing her there wouldn’t be good to people’s perspective. She might get into trouble for barging into someone’s office without an invite. So she quickly shut the door behind her. ..
    “Hmmm…. Spacious and luxurious..” she commented, her eyes darting everywhere.
    She walked over to Louisa’s desk, her eyes running through the files littered on her table. 
    ” Huh? Office life is a different ” she scoffed out in disgust.
    She then say in Louisa’s seat, twirling herself about on the chair
     “How relaxing…” She breath out placing her full balance on it.
    She continued to twirl round for some minutes until her foot suddenly hit the desk so hard.
    She whined in pain cussing and hitting the table in return. 
    D@mmit! It hurts…
    She bent herself over massaging her hurt foot when her eyes suddenly caught a paper underneath the table. Looks like someone was gonna get rid of it cause it was squeezed into a small ball. 
    She picked it up and gently unfolded it till it became plain… 
    She went ahead to read the contents… Over and over again in disbelief…. 
    What??? This is not possible! 
    She jerked from the seat  
    “This must be a joke” she panicked out as her hands became shaky.
    “…it can’t be,.. it’s not possible… She can’t be…
    The door suddenly opened as Louisa walked her way in.  Startling the ~worried Andrea~. A frown stretched out on her face .. 
    ” I think you’ve got a problem with privacy” Louisa blurted out walking over
    To the phone booth to make a call. 
    “Don’t even think of calling the security Louisa” it came out like a warning instead.
    “Watch me” Louisa stated in Anger and she punched in the number into the phone…
     How dare this idiot break into her office and still warn her not to call the security..
    “Security co…
    “You are pregnant?” Andrea cut in causing Louisa to freeze at a spot with the phone dropping from her hand.
