Juliana paced back and forth in her living room trying hard not to pick the call. But finally she suppressed the fear in her heart and picked it up. "Hello" she spoke softly." Juliana, Juliana, Juliana! How long are you gonna live a lie? Trust me when I tell you , you didn't give birth to twins and your whole life is a lie". The unknown caller said with a distorted voice And again her heart freezed. "Who...who are you? are you the one who has been calling me lately? what do you want?" she said with a stamiring voice. "Since you have decided not to believe me, I want to tell you one important thing."Someone is out for revenge. And that person has successfully invaded your house".
Julianna's eyes darted around the room. Panick setting in. Is this some sick prank or what." Why would someone invade my house? I have done nothing wrong ". she spoke with a suppressed trembling voice.
"I love your confidence level Juliana. You and your family has taken something away from the person and she is not resting until she brings you under her feet ".
"I've done nothing wrong to anyone . Who ever that person is tell him or her to stop this madness."
"Just give me a ransom amount of money and I will tell you a lot". The unknown caller said.
"Oh so you just want money? and that is why you think is the best to prank me.".
"No miss Linda. If you think am lying, then wait till this evening. You will regret for not trusting me"."Asshole" she said and ended the call throwing the phone away. " Am dying" she told her husband and fell on the ground.

Refusing to leave the bed, Francis decided not to leave her company. Tom has been calling him repeatedly but he refused to pick up. Even though he knew that Tom wouldn't call him if is wasn't important.
The phone rang and rang again.again Hazel woke up from sleep as a result of the disturbance. "Francis, can't you hear your phone?"She said in her sleepy voice and turned over. "Sorry, I will answer it right away". "What?" his voice was full of shock and disbelief. "I will be there in minutes" he said and jumped off the bed , walking straight to the walk-in-closet. "What is wrong? where are you going?". Hazel tried rushing after him. "The company is on fire" he said and jumped in his car.
"What is happening?" Juliana walked out of the room carrying a question for her daughter in law. "He...he...said the company is on fire". "What???" and at once she felt her legs weaken."No..no.. this can't be happening" she said with tears in her eyes while running back to her room".
Upon reaching her room, she tried calling the number that called her earlier multiple times but to no avail. "Oh no" she broke down into tears.

It been a week since the explosion and nothing has been better. My head was in chaos cause I know what is actually going on. Just when I thought I can leave my past behind and forever maintain the loving relationship with Francis, things has been in their worst states. Mommy Juliana has been acting wired these days ,especially towards me. This gives me chills thinking that she is suspecting me. So far as I know, Kelvin might be working with my mum to bring down our family and I will make sure to stop them . Whiles I was lot in my thoughts , a single knock distracted me, bringing me back to reality. "Come in" I said and to my surprise, mother-in-law was in. "Mom" I said with my questioning face. "Good morning my lovely daughter " In fact I was more than just surprised with her sudden action but I was more focused on the bowl full of oil in her hand. "Good morning mother"." Honey, I know that you might be stressed with all the things happening with your husband, but trust me. He will be able to bring things back to normal". I just nodded. "Come sit" She said and without thinking I sat down and the next thing caught me by surprise. She was using the oil to massage my hair. Did I ask her that I needed to release stress? What is her problem? Yesterday she was acting cold and now she is acting like yesterday never exited? What is she up to?

In an room full of silence and empty room sat Kelvin in his casual dress. The moon was the only source of light. Kelvin sat on the cold floor trying very hard to keep his anger in control but no. The more he tried to suppress it the least he was able to.
He remember clearly how his grandpa used to show how much he love Francis in front of him without hesitation.
"Francis! my light in the darkness" his grandpa would say and his parents will laugh it off. He was the one to enjoy these praises since, Francis was an orphan and his parents were the ones helping him.
"From now onwards Francis would be the breadwinner of the family" That day he felt his world crashing before him. When he was in school , he never took anything seriously since he thought that at the end of the day the company was in wait for him. "That was when he remembered Hazel's words.'He will take everything from you if you don't fight him".
"And he took you too" Kelvin said with tears rolling down his eyes. Hazellllllll!!!!!.
"Francis! I swear to destroy you. How can an orphan like you take my every thing. He leaned on the wall and cried his eyes out .

"Did you get it? He asked and she made sure the door was closed before answering. "Yes"."Good. Now call the number and send her the money. We need to curb all these before they get out of hands".

"Mavis next week Monday will be the end of everything " Juliana said with a big smile."Really girl? you're very determined to destroy the Wilson". David said with a smile.
"Of course...." before she could say anything else, Mavis' phone rang destructing both of them."Excuse me" she said and left.
