Mrs Elena Lawrence and Sarah Lawrence stared at the whole thing as they stood in shock and bewilderment.

“Mom, I can't see, what exactly is going on?” Sarah Lawrence slowly whispered into her mom's ear.

“Sarah, please be quiet, I can't understand what the heck is going on here too.”

“Why is Mr Thomas Wilson helping Abel Scott?”

“Something is not right, why is Mr Jeffrey Jefferson calling him Mr Jackson Alfred instead of Mr Thomas Wilson?”

“Something weird and disturbing is going on here and I really don't like it at all.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she stared at Abel Scott and Mr Jackson Alfred.

“Hey Mrs Elena Lawrence and Sarah Lawrence, I'm really sorry for that.”

“What exactly brings you and your daughter out of the mansion today?” Mr Jackson Alfred asked as he approached Mrs Elena Lawrence and Sarah Lawrence.

“We actually came to check up on Mr Zack Lawrence, Sarah's dad, but we ran into issues because of payments with Mr Jerry Jefferson…”

“Okay, how much are we talking about here?”

“How much is Mr Zack's hospital bill?” Mr Jackson Alfred immediately asked, staring at Mrs Elena Lawrence.

“It's actually three million dollars.” Sarah immediately said.

“Okay, consider it paid for in full, since this hospital is now owned by Mr Schmidt the new CEO of the Lotus group, he would be glad to have the bills cleared.”

“How does that sound, Mr Abel Scott? Wouldn't Mr Schmidt be pleased to have Mr Zack's hospital bill clearly?” Mr Jackson Alfred immediately asked Abel Scott.

“Sure it would really be a great idea for Mr…Schmidt to help me, I meant we, clear my father-in-law's hospital bills.”

“I really appreciate that kind gesture from Mr…Schmidt, my regards to him whoever he is.” Abel Scott said sarcastically.

He had actually planned to be the one that would pay off the debt for Mr Zack Lawrence, his father-in-law.

“Oh my God! My Thomas Wilson hasn't Mr Schmidt already done enough?” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she fell on her knees before Mr Jackson Alfred.

“How on earth can we ever repay Mr Schmidt for his kindness?”

“We are forever grateful to Mr Schmidt for his kindness?”

“Please Mr Thomas Wilson, how do we meet Mr Schmidt we really need to appreciate him in person?” Sarah Lawrence asked, her voice was laced with a mixture of happiness and joy.

“He might as well be standing next to you.” Mr Jackson Alfred slowly muttered to himself.

“What was that?!” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked as she seemed to have heard a bit of what Mr Jackson Alfred had just muttered to himself.

“I said he is…away on a business trip, did you hear otherwise?” Mr Jerry Jefferson immediately asked.

“No, not at all, Mr Thomas Wilson, I just want to deeply say we all appreciate Mr Schmidt's kindness and generosity, even Abel Scott.”

“Please don't mind the fact that he isn't showing you some respect now but he is definitely happy that you and Mr Schmidt had just stepped in to save the day.”

“That reminds me, Mr Thomas Wilson, do you have two names?”

“Why is Mr Jeffrey Jefferson calling you a different name than the one we know you by?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked, her voice although low was laced with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.

“It's standard procedure for people like myself, you never get to know us directly.”

“Mr Jerry Jefferson, are the termination letters ready?!” Mr Jackson Alfred asked.

“Yes…yes Mr Jackson Alfred, it's ready!” Mr Jerry Jefferson said as he presented the termination letters to Mr Jackson Alfred.

“Good! Have this sent to those filthy peasants immediately, no one dares to insult Mr Abel Scott, his family members, do you understand me Mr Jerry Jefferson?!”

“Yes sir!” Mr Jerry Jefferson immediately replied.

“The only reason why you are not out with those imbeciles is simply because of your father Lord Jefferson.”

“I want Mr Zack Lawrence immediately discharged from the intensive care unit.”

“I will do exactly as you instructed Mr Jackson Alfred.” With that said, Mr Jerry Jefferson walked out the door, delivering the termination letters to Nurse Sabrina and Nurse Fredrik he raced back inside the hospital complex.

“Hey you two back away from the door!” The security men yelled as they held back Nurse Fredrik and Nurse Sabrina at the door.

“Mrs Sarah Lawrence, we are really sorry!”

“Please help us! We can't afford to lose our job, please!” Nurse Sabrina and Nurse Fredrik immediately pleaded for mercy at the door.

“Excuse me one moment, Mr Abel Scott, could you please come with me?” Mr Jackson Alfred asked.

Walking over to the door, Mr Jackson Alfred immediately opened the door and gazed at Nurse Fredrik and Nurse Sabrina.

“Security, you know what to do, I don't want them anywhere around this building ever again.”

“Their contract with us has just been terminated!

“Mr Abel, please help us!” Nurse Sabrina pleaded with tears in her eyes as she and Nurse Fredrik were thrown outside the gate.

Moments later, Mr Zack Lawrence is being wheeled out of his ward on a wheelchair by some doctors.

“Mr Zack, it's really great to see you again.” Abel Scott said as he approached him.

“The pleasure is all mine, being in the hospital has really fogged up my memory.”

“Elena, where is Sarah?” Mr Zack asked as he scrubbed his eyes.

“She is right over here.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she presented Sarah Lawrence to her father.

“It's good to have you back dad!” Sarah Lawrence said as her dad hugged her.

Now at the new mansion Abel Scott had gifted his wife under the pretense of Mr Schmidt, the new CEO of the Lotus group, the whole family is seated down and eating.

Mrs Elena Lawrence had made dinner to celebrate Mr Zack Lawrence's return from the hospital.

“Sarah, I'm really sorry for everything that you had to go through in the hands of Lady Natasha.”

“I really wished I was there to help.” Mr Zack Lawrence said as he bowed his head slowly.

“It's really okay dad, I'm still alive that is all that matters.” Sarah Lawrence said.

Just then, Abel Scott's phone rang, interrupting them at the dinner table.

“Abel, you shouldn't be having your phone at the dinner table.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she frowned at Abel Scott.

“I'm really sorry, I have to take this call.” Abel Scott said as he stared at his phone.

Walking outside the door, Abel Scott immediately picked up the phone.

“Hello, who is this?!”

“Mr Abel Scott, I think we have finally found a way to make Sarah Lawrence, your wife, see again.”

    All Sarah Lawrence saw was a shining light and then everything became pitch black accompanied with searing pain.“My eyes! What the hell; my eyes” Sarah Lawrence dropped to her knees, clawing at her cheeks trying to take off the pain she felt.Sarah Lawrence stretched her hands forward, blindly reaching for something; anything that could make the pain stop while the liquid burned deeper. Bang! Sarah Lawrence could only hear muffled sounds from the blow one of the gang members left on her face. Five men who stood over six feet entered the apartment, Their faces were covered and the word PRAY tattooed on their neck. “What’s going on, Sarah?” “Who are these people,Sarah?” Elena Lawrence asked, moving towards the door. One of the men with a hand as large as an elephant trunk jacked Elena Lawrence up by her shirt and threw her like a rag doll.“Ah!” Elena Lawrence screamed her back landing on the television screen and her face stumbling first into the center table in the living room

    “Abel, breakfast is ready” Sarah’s voice echoed through the house.“I’m coming,” Abel Scott replied. He crossed the tie on his neck to the right, to form a knot. Then he moved it back and back to the right. He was confused on what way to go. Abel Scot sighed, dragging the tie off his neck. “I guess that is it” “Abel” Sarah called again from the living room. “Your food is going to get cold” Abel looked at the ceiling pleading for some invention of some sort. “I will be there shortly”“Hmmm..” Abel Scott took a slow breath as he walked into the living room, letting the warm aroma fill his lungs. “Is that scrambled eggs and toasted bread I perceive?” He asked.“Oh yes, coupled with the faint aroma of fresh coffee.” Sarah Lawrence added, a warm gently spreading across her face. “Oh! My favorite” Abel Scott said, dragging the chair to sit down. Abel Scott grabbed a fork and shoveled clumps of the scrambled eggs into his mouth, barely chewing, he grabbed the toasted bread and ripped it

    The apartment was not like the mansion but it was comfortable. Cracked sidewalks snaked through weedy grass. Most of the building's paint was falling apart and sagging roofs moving like they were tired of standing. A rusting mini van with two Missing wheels sat as a permanent fixture beside the curb. The sun peeped through the windows of the apartment casting golden stripes on the little desk that now serves as desk and dinner for Abel Scott and his family at the apartment. He stares blankly into the laptop screen sitting comfortably on the desk as he prepares his resume. “What are you doing,darling?” Sarah Lawrence asked, running her fingers through Abel Scott’s hair.“I’m preparing a resume and cover letter for my application.” Abel Scott said. “Wow that’s amazing, babe!” Sarah Lawrence was elated. She bent over to plant a kiss on Abel Scott's cheeks. “What role are you applying for, darling?” Sarah Lawrence enquired.“I’m writing to express my interest in the Warehouse Supervis

    “What!”“Mum, what is it?” Sarah Lawrence asked. Every eye in the hospital lobby now fixated on Elena Lawrence.Elena Lawrence stood still, her eyes wide open. Finally shaking off the shock, she whispered “The mansion is on fire”“What mansion?” “Mr Schmidt mansion!”“I can’t believe this, why do bad things keep happening to us?”Abel Scott Excused himself to answer his ringing phone. It was Mr Jackson Alfred calling to give him a report on the situation. Elena Lawrence gave Abel Scott an angry stare. “Hello, Hello! Elena are you there” Mr Zack Lawrence's voice echoed through the phone. “Yes, my love. I’m with you.”“What do we do now?” Elena Lawrence asked her husband “Stay where you are, Mr Jackson Alfred and I are coming to pick you guys up”Elena Lawrence cuts the call and lets out a long, weary sigh. “This is really sad”“Where is that good for nothing man called Abel Scott?” Elena Lawrence eyes scanning through the lobby like a vicious dog.“Abel Scott can never be relied u

    Six hours later…Abel Scott and Mrs Elena Lawrence are still waiting for the doctor's response in the other ward as the surgery proceeds.“Abel, do you in any way know how we can be able to get access to this Mr Schmidt?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked as she stared at the clock on the wall.“I'm really sorry Mrs Elena Lawrence, why would you assume that I would know of Mr Schmidt's whereabouts?”“I really don't know anything about Mr Schmidt.”“I know you don't, but what of Mr Jackson Alfred, the one who for God knows why lied to us that his Mr Thomas Wilson?”“If you can at least talk to him and get him to maybe book an appointment with Mr Schmidt for us, that would be really great.”“We need to find out who Mr Schmidt is and why he is helping Sarah Lawrence, my daughter.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she faked a smile towards Abel Scott.“Mrs Elena, I don't think that would be a great idea, Mr Jackson Alfred is a very busy man, and I don't think he can even help us get across to Mr Schmidt

    “Abel, how do you propose we fix my daughter's blindness?” Mr Zack Lawrence immediately asked.“Well a friend of mine, who happens to be a medical doctor, has offered to help us fix Sarah's blindness.”“I know it's a lot to take in, I know you people have actually tried a lot of doctors, but my intel has assured me that Doctor Philip really knows how to fix Sarah.”“Your intel?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked, her eyebrows furrowed in a show of curiosity and bewilderment.“I meant my friend who is a doctor, he can fix Sarah.”“I have already booked an appointment at his office tomorrow morning.” Abel Scott said as he gazed at Mr Zack Lawrence, his father-in-law.“Very well, Abel, I will permit you to take my daughter for the twentieth hospital check since she got her eyes damaged.”“Wait a minute, do you actually keep tabs on that, dad?” Sarah Lawrence immediately asked as she stared at her dad's direction even though she was blind.“Yes, Sarah, I have actually been keeping tabs on a lot o
