Henderson went to the police station, he has already made a statement. Stella bow her head in shame, as he walked to her.
“This is the punishment for trying to kill someone, who mean so much to me. And also for framing someone that feeds you. You will spend the rest of your life here.”
“My lord, please forgive me. I promise I will change, please.” Stella plead. “The court will decide, how long you will stay and the officers will tell when you change.” He said and walked out.

Daniel left the room and went to his office. He sat down deep in thoughts that he didn’t realize that his phone has been ringing. It was the nurse who came in, that told him that he phone was ringing, before he could pick up it has ended.
The nurse left his office, he called the number back and it was picked. “Hello..” He muttered. “Hi daddy. I’m waiting.” The voice said, he realized that, his daughter is the one calling.
“Oh my sweetheart. I’m sorry for not picking up. Okay where are you?” He asked. “At the school, with my teacher.” She replied and glance at her teacher. “Alright, sweetheart I will be there. Okay.”
He arranged most of the files and told the nurse and doctor that, he going to pick up his daughter from school. They all wondered why he would do that. He used the elevator and then walked to his car, he hopped in and drove to the school. He drove into the school compound and got down from the car, using his eyes to search for her, he brought out his phone to call her. Then he felt someone tapping his leg. He looked down and hugged her.
“My sweetheart.. No greetings?” He muttered, as he carried her on his arm. She looked away from him with folded arms. “Oh com’on, I’ve apologized. I’m sorry. I will get you cupcakes on our way home.” He said.
“Promise?”
“Yeah, promise. My greetings.” He muttered. “Good afternoon to the best daddy.” She said, with a love sign and kissed his cheek.
“Good afternoon, Sir.” The teacher greeted. “Good afternoon, Miss.” He replied, she gave him her bag and lunch box. He put them at the back seat and then open the door, for her to hop in. He shut it and walk to the other door and hopped in, they left and on their way, he branched and bought cupcakes for her.
“How are you feeling today?” He asked. “Well, I feel good. Am making friends..” Her little voice said.
“Oh wow, that’s good to hear.” Daniel replied. “What about you dad?” She asked.
“Well…. He paused as the image of what happened in the hospital, the words she said to him. “It was good”
“Uhm! Okay, but am not gonna take that.” She said. “But why?”
“Because you took time, before saying it.” She said and shook her little head, like an adult. “Oh, com’on. You wanna make daddy feel bad, like seriously.?” He said, with a frown.
“Alright, Mr Daniel. I’m not trying to do that, but I don’t believe that it was good. Do you want to talk about something? When we get home.” She said.
“Oh Bethel. Okay, when I get back from work. We will talk about it.” He said. “Sure..”
“Yes, Miss.” He replied and they arrived at the gate, he honk at the gate and the security guard opened the door. He drove into the surroundings, they walked into the house, the maids greeted him and Bethel ran upstairs.
“Honey be careful…” He yelled and the maids went to the car to get her stuff. Daniel went to her room and sat on her bed, she came out of the bathroom with a little towel on her body. “How do I look?” She asked, smiling.
“Good..” He said. “Dad, will you come back on time, so that we will have dinner together and talk about it.”
“Yes, I will. I have got to go.” He said as her nanny walked in. “Alright, Dad. I love you..” She said and waved at him. “I love you too” He waved back and left.

He walked into the room and she was the only one there. The queen and the king has left. He sat down and she looked away.
“Hey…. How are you feeling today?” He muttered, his eyes didn’t leave her. She didn’t utter a word.
“Nora, you have to say something for that I will know how you are coping.” He said. “Can’t you just leave me alone? Can’t you? I fúçking h@të you. I h@të seeing this sick face of yours..”
“I know you do. But Nora please listen to me. Your mom wants you back, she has been worried about you.”
“Are you done with talking?” She asked. He didn’t say anything, “Don’t you wanna talk about her? Your wife? Where is she? I was just stupid, getting married to you and what did you do. You left to the state and when you get back you found out that I wasn’t in Milan and you got married to her. You Fuçked her..”
“Nora…please.. Don’t you dare call my name. I thought I was with the love of my life,not knowing that I was dating the devil himself.”
“Let’s not talk about this now, until when you recover. I don’t want you to feel bad, please..”
“You’re the one making me feel bad, your face. You remind me of everything fúçking thing we did. And everything that happened.” She said.
“How many weeks, will I spend here?” She asked. “Two weeks. Thankfully it wasn’t that deep..” He said, she nodded.
“Please leave..” She added and he didn’t try to say anything again, he stood up and walked out of the room.
“Go back to your wife. You have cause enough harm to me.” She mumbled.
He went to the restroom and after using the restroom, he washed his hands and didn’t stop staring at the mirror. He sighed heavily and slide his right hand in his pocket and walked out to a restaurant. A Chinese restaurant.
The waitress walked to him and handed the menu to him, he smiled while he collect it and pointed out the meal he wants. The meal was served and he ate and asked them to package another one for him. He requested for soup.. He brought it to her ward, she wasn’t asleep. She glanced at him as he walked closer to her, with a something on his hand, she didn’t know what it was. “I brought you some food.. Soup actually..”
“I’m not hungry..” She replied. “Nora, please… You have to eat something, so that you can take your meds and be strong.” He said and brought out the meal, he opened it and she pushed it. It poured on his shirt and trouser, he quickly stood up and picked up the empty container and left for the restroom. On his way he told the cleaner to go clean up the ward. He called a doctor to get another shirt and trouser in his office. He brought it to the restroom and he changed and disposed the dirty ones.
“What happened to your shirt, Sir?” The doctor asked. “It’s nothing…” He replied.
After everything, Saanvi was able to eat something. Ms Mirabel brought a nice meal for her, she thanked her.
Even after what happened earlier in the ward, Daniel still came to check on her, that night before leaving.
He came back home and his daughter welcomed him with a hug and smiles. “You came back on time today..” She said.
“Yup! Don’t you like it?” He mumbled and dropped his briefcase on the couch and sat down. “I love it. Wait..” She said and he paused.
“What happened to your shirt and trouser?” She asked, of course she is his lil wife. “It got ruined..” He replied.
“How?” She questioned again. “I don’t want to talk about it, It was a mistake.” He stammered.
“Another lie.” She said. “Stop being silly, Dad just came back and you’re already asking questions. I need to take my bath and eat and then rest.” He said and stood up.
“I’m sorry. But does it mean that we’re not gonna talk about it again.” She replied.

Richard came to Amelia, she smiled at him and signal him to seat, beside her. He did, she hugged him and kissed his forehead.
“How are you?” The little prince asked. “I’m good and you, prince Richard.” She replied.
“I’m good as long as you’re good.” He replied, smiling. “I have just two months to go.”
” Boom the baby will be out..” They chorused, laughing. “What will be his name?” Richard asked.
“Uhmm! I don’t have any name on my mind. Maybe the king has one.” She replied. “Oh, well I have.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“Larry..” Richard said. “Oh okay. Nice but it has to start with the letter H.” She replied.
“Oh, that means I have to look for another name. But don’t worry, I will get another for him.” Richard said.
“Thanks, so how is school? I hope you are making friends.” She said. “Yes, they are amazing.” He replied.
