A satisfied Peter heads back home to rest, after all the troubles for that day.

He's visited by a worried Kayla, who heard the news about his accident and came looking for him.

"Why didn't you pick up my calls? I've been trying so hard to reach you, " She cried, showing her fear and worry for Peter.

"I saw the news about your accident and came running down to the hospital to find you. It was your driver I saw being admitted, but I heard you were fine and..."

"Kayla, " Peter called, pulling her into his arm for comfort.

The young lady was terrified to the core, that she didn't know how to control her emotions anymore. 

"I was scared. I thought you were hurt, " She cried, wrapping her arms around Peter.

Peter could understand how Kayla was feeling, and it touched him deeply. The last thing he wants to see is the woman he loves crying.

Feeling guilty for not reaching out to her after what happened, Peter wiped Kayla's tears and slowly locked his lips with hers, calming her troubling heart. 

And it worked. 

Kayla felt better than before. 

When their lips came apart, Peter said, "I'm sorry."

With a heavy heart, Kayla hugged Peter again, showing her happiness at the fact that he was fine and didn't get hurt.

"I'm just so happy that you're okay. Thank the heavens for protecting you." She squeezed tighter.

"Yeah, we thank the heavens," He said, taking his mind to Victor.

"I know that fool won't give up now that he knows I'm aware of his plan. He'd want to try out another method to get me. But I'll be alert like always," He promised.

.

A few days later, Peter is at the company working on some important files. He gets a call from his secretary, saying he had a visitor.

"Send him in, " He permitted.

"Sir, it's her, " His secretary said.

This got Peter wondering who it was. He knows if it's Kayla, she'd walked in without the secretary informing him, cause she loves to surprise him.

"A she you say? Alright then, let her in," He said, ending the telecom.

Peter continued with his work, waiting for her to arrive.

That's when his door came open and Mia walked in, putting on a mini dress that exposed her lap.

Peter had looked and saw her stepping in. He acted like he didn't know or see what she wore.

"Yes? How may I help you?" He asked, still focusing on the files in his hold. 

Mia, seeing how busy Peter was, felt this was the best and only chance to make peace with him.

"It's better than nothing," She viewed, drawing closer to his desk.

She wanted to sit down but got scolded by Peter, who said, "Step back. Did I ask you to take a seat?" He lifted his gaze at her, giving her a nasty glare.

"I'm sorry, Peter."

"It's Mr Coleman," He corrected, and Mia had to say it correctly.

Having settled that, Mia carefully placed both hands together saying, " Peter, I mean Mr Coleman. I... I know my family and I have wronged you terribly. What we did to you in the past was wrong, and I'm here on their behalf to say we're sorry."

She looked at Peter, but he showed no concern for her words.

But it didn't stop Mia from talking.

"Peter. I mean Mr Coleman. On behalf of my family, we plead with you to please help give back our company. We have finally realized our wrongdoings and wish to make peace with you. I am also ready to accept you back into my life again as my husband. All I ask is that you forgive us, " She pleaded, hoping Peter would listen. 

But still, he didn't budge. He kept working on his file like Mia didn't exist.

Seeing Peter wasn't responding, Mia attempted to draw closer to him and that sparks Peter at once.

"Who told you to come close? " He questioned, getting Mia's heart pounding. 

"Peter, listen, I know what I did was wrong, but I still love you. I still want you back."

"With that garbage in you? Do you even think I'll be stupid to let you into my life again?" He questioned her.

Mia feels ashamed, trying to convince Peter to take her back.

"Hold on there, " Peter said, looking at Mia. 

She saw how he was gazing at her and assumed he was tripping for her beauty. Only to be stunned by what he said next.

"This is more than five months now. Aren't you supposed to be pregnant?" Peter questioned, looking at Mia. 

She couldn't speak but draw back.

"You took the child out, didn't you?" Peter smirked, realizing what Mia had done.

She shrugged and said, " It was giving me aches and changing my body shape, so I had no choice. At least it's out of me. We can both finally have that family you always dreamed of."

"Out of my office," Peter ordered, resuming with work.

A shocked Mia carefully left Peter's company, seeing that he wasn't going to give her family back their business after what they did.

Unknown to Peter, Victor had seen everything that happened. 

The cunning cousin sent someone over to investigate Mia and her family, only to learn of her past with Peter.

"His ex-wife? This is thrilling."

Victor discovered news about Peter’s past life with Mia, and how her family had enslaved them for being very poor and unfit for their daughter in the past.

"So now he's taking his revenge on them for what they did to him by buying their company with the riches that belong to me? Alright then, Peter. I see how it goes, " He scoffed.

"Father will be thrilled to hear this."

He tells his spy to gather more information about Mia and her family, seeing this as a gateway to his future.

"That ass hole thinks he's powerful now huh? I'll make him regret ever coming into our lives, " He vowed.

What are you doing here at this time? It’s the weekend, and you should be home." She said this to him as she walked into the room.“Well, I know it’s the weekend, but I have got so much work today before next week.

    Victor said this on his couch in his living room, wiping off the blood from his nose. The hospital seems to know him for always getting into fights, so he was not going to waste his time answering any questions or even driving down. The blood from his nose has increased incredibly, so he picked up his phone and called his personal doctor to come over. In less than thirty minutes, the doctor had pulled up outside the house.“You sounded really urgent over the phone." Dr. Kylian said as he hurried into the house.“I'm bleeding, doctor. I want to call if it isn't urgent." Victor answered. “I see,” the doctor replied, placing his first-aid box on the table.“You got into a fight again. Typical of you”. He teased and laughed.“The bastard always has a way of showing up here to fight me, and I am not going to let him beat me up all the time.”.‘Don't you think it's time you let him have his peace? You have done more harm than good around that man." Dr. Kylian said.‘Stay out of my family

    “Talk to me, Victor." She pressured him to speak, and then he finally spoke by asking her the question that had been bothering his heart for almost two hours.“Do you love Victor?” “What? How dare you ask me if I love that goat? Peter, I am wearing your engagement ring, and I am carrying your child. How. Can you degrade me to that lebel? Is that how you see me? Is this what you think of me? Kayla was broken by his question. She looked at him and let tears well up in her eyes.“I saw the pictures of the two of you standing at a close range like lovers,” Peter lied.“A picture? Show it to me and tell me about the idiot who took the picture. This is a setup, and you want to believe it after all we have been through together?”. She asked in disappointment.“So are you going to tell me what happened today after the ice cream shop?”.“Ice cream shop? Wait a minute. Are you stalking me?”“Someone saw you, Kayla, so this is what you do behind my back?”. Really.Okay, Peter, now you are going

    Victor walked away in shame while Kayla and Nurse Betty drove off. The Camry waited for a while after Victor’s car moved before driving off. “Hello Rey. We got your man trying to bully a lady but I think someone fought him off already”. Cora spoke the moment Reynolds came on the phone.“Oh! Great. You got some pictures?”“Sure. What I am doing as a detective if not providing pictorial evidence?“Great job Cora, you can drop the photos on my desk. I shall check them as soon I get to the office.“Alright boss’. Cora answered and drove off with her teammate.In about two hours Reynolds reported straight to Peter’s office.
