Stefan stayed silent for a little while before he finally asked his next question, “And why are you going there? What's your plan?” staring at her to make sure she was not going to lie to him, he didn't want to leave any loose ends. Louisa sighed, and her lips began trembling, “I have a baby, Stefan. My son is just a toddler,” she spoke through her tear-filled throat, as tears began to run down her face, “I cannot afford to leave without seeing my baby; I would never forgive myself if I did that,” Louisa informed Stefan, almost whimpering to herself, she had replied in a low and sad tone, and Stefan gave her a curt nod. He could try to understand her plight, besides, he wasn't one to deny a mother her son, it was a special bond they shared. He'd know because his mother was instrumental in him becoming a gangster and, unfortunately,y, had been killed while trying to save his life. He felt a pang in his heart, and briefly shook his head. Stefan couldn't stand in the way of Lo

Stefan drove into the premises at full speed as though he was about to smash the house into pieces, he got out of the car and stormed into the house abruptly, causing Cecil and Logan to look around, almost fleeing from where they were seated,“What is it, Stefan?” Cecil asked as she jumped out of the chair and her skin, glaring at Stefan who had startled them out of their lives.“We need to leave now!”He thundered, ignoring her question as he ran into the inner room to gather some things. “We need to leave right now!” He reiterated in a thunderous tone once more as he noticed that Cecil and her son stood in the living room frozen, “But.. but.” Cecil stammered as she watched him run around the house, trying to gather his things as though a rapture was approaching. “But what woman?!” he yelled at her.“You are not saying anything, Stefan; why the rush?” She asked him in a high-pitched tone as she stood there looking with furrowed brows, her eyes darting between him and the things

Cecil couldn't believe that Louisa had chosen to stay behind and abandon her family, she fumed and panted, crossing and uncrossing her arms at the thought, “Who knows if that fool has gone to be with Adam.” She said grimly and stared at her son, who was standing with furrowed brows, with his hand placed at the base of his neck; he shook his head unconsciously, for he didn't want to believe that. He looked like he was about to burst into tears. “Mother, I think we should be more worried about whether she is okay…” Logan tried to respond, but before he could finish his statement, a shoe came flying directly at his head, and he quickly ducked, with widened eyes he straightened himself to gape at Cecil who was panting, her eyes had turned crimson as she huffed and puffed, Despite her aggravation, his statement dawned on her, and Cecil took a moment to process what Logan had said, and realised it was possible for her stupid daughter to be in danger, ‘What if she is not okay?’

Adam, Leila and Ariel were headed to the park in Sunton; as Adam drove, country music played on the stereo; it was a favourite genre of his and was fast becoming Ariel's as well.After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at Sunton Street, and Ariel stared out the window, her mouth slightly falling open as she unabashedly stared,“So lovely," she whispered to herself. The place was beautiful, and Adam was inclined to agree,“Sunton Street is now so beautiful,” he added while smiling; he felt goosebumps on his body; it was bittersweet for him to see Ariel happy in this place.Ariel's eyes lit up and she excitedly pointed at a truck across the street,“Is that an ice cream truck?” she asked,“Sure it is.” Adam responded, staring at her from his mirror,“Wait till you see the park,” he told her, trying to brew up more excitement for her as she was elated. “Ooohh, I cannot wait.” She replied excitedly, rubbing her palms together, almost jumping on her seat.Ariel's reaction propelled

Adam could sense her hesitation, and knowing Louisa, he knew she was debating within herself. He chuckled at the thought and squat before her, drawing his words as he spoke,“Do.not.lie.to.me!” It was obvious she was trying to think of a good lie but he was not going to let her do that, he was rather going to scare the shit and the truth out of her,“Tell me where your mother is, or I will take you to my basement and lock you up for the rest of your life and make sure I torture you a gazillion times more than my daughter was ever tortured!” Adam told her in a low but deep voice, that sent chills down her spine and tremors through her body. Louisa gulped and shut her eyes, daring to open them she stared at Adam and saw that his eyes were red with fury,He was now in beast mode, and she was not willing to take her chances with him; she was not willing to go down alone, as it was all her mother’s evil plan that landed her in all of this mess in the first place. She gulped once more, an
