“this is unbelievable,….. So the caller has been her boyfriend,…… I would ‘ve picked his calls,…. So Richard is her boyfriend, no wonder she had a shock when i mentioned his name to her,….. Poor boy,….. “mama said shaking her head in pity

Angela returned to the sitting room and everywhere was quiet,…. She suspected they’re hiding something from her,…. She sat down


” Angela, i’ve arranged your room for you,…. “her mother informed her,….. She excused herself to meet her mother
Desmond was restless due to Richard’s absence,…. He continued dialing his number but he wasn’t picking,…….

His phone rang some minutes later,…. He checked the caller id and heaved a sigh of relieve,….


“thank God he’s calling me,..”he muttered to himself,…. He picked it and heard a strange voice


“Oh my God, which hospital,? ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Doctor pls, you need to discharge me right now,.. I need to be somewhere right now,…. I must see her and be assured that she’s ok,…..” Richard begged the doctor


“i’m sorry i cant do that, it’s unprofessional of me,….. Take a look at yourself, you should be thankful that you only sustained minor injuries,… But that still doesn’t mean you’re perfect to be dischargeed,…. We need to wait for your lab results , to be sure that you dont have internal bleeding,… Just wait till tomorrow,…. “the doctor advised him

They were still arguing when Desmond and Nancy rushed into his private room,….


” God,…. What happened,..i was shocked you were yet to arrive Angela’s house till i received the call..? “Desmond asked him
He didnt respond, his gaze was at the door as if he was expecting someone else,……

” wasnt she informed of my accident,…. Is she with you?,….. I know your plan,…. You want to surprise me,…. “he said trying to get up from his bed,…..


” I didn’t inform her of your accident,….. “Desmond replied

” i understand, you dont want her getting worried, i know she must be calling my other line,….. Let me call aunty Beatrice so that i can talk to Angela and hear her sweet voice,…..So tell me, hope she’s ok,….? “he asked smiling
Desmond looked at his friend and realized how much he loves his girlfriend, his love for her could be seen in his eyes,…

He wondered what he would do when he realises his girlfriend doesnt remember him, …….
” aunty Beatrice has gone back to her house,…… Dont worry i’ll drive you to see her tomorrow,… Or i’ll bring her to see you,…”

A nurse came in and gave him some injections,…. He slept off few minutes later,……. Desmond and Nancy went home exhausted…….

“Madam we’re sealing this hotel till our investigations are over,…..” the policeman told Mrs Johnson

“Officer, you cant just seal my hotel because you found a lady murdered in one of the rooms,…. It’s unacceptable “she said angrily

She was pacing up and down calling the police commissioner


” Madam you can call anybody you want,. This hotel must be sealed!!!!! ”

” You dont know who you’re messing with,…. After dealing with you, i must make sure you loose your job,……. “she threatened him


” I’ll be happy loosing my job in this fight,…… You have alot to explain to us,….. “the officer replied

The commissioner refused picking his calls,…. She could be seen sweating profusely
She watched the police vacate all the customers and workers in the hotel,.. Her hotel was sealed up,………. She watched them drive off
She went home devastated,… Her world is beginning to crumble,…… She sat down drinking whisky,…. She remembered all mother supreme supreme told her,…….

She was determined to find her husband or better still search for Angela to get her unborn baby,….. She needs to act fast because mother supreme supreme’s revelation has started to manifest,…..
