“Madam it’s time to go back to your cell” the cop that brought her out said.
“Keep quiet, you guys are giving me problem” Dora said and stood up with a frown.
“Hey I’ll make you regret you ever have a hand if you touch me with that filthy hand of yours,” Dora said and walked inside her cell.
“I’m not sure you’ll come outside anytime soon,” the cop said.
“I’ll come for you once I come out tomorrow,” Dora said and the cop burst into laughter.
“I doubt it” the cop replied and made to leave. “Come I need your help please,” Dora said.
“Need my help on what? I don’t have any help I can render to you” the cop replied.
“Please I badly need your help, I’ll pay any amount when I come out just listen to me,” Dora said.
“Are you sure you’re gonna come out alive?” The cop asked.
“My lawyer said there’s nothing he can do about it, Emma is interested in the case and you know how influential she’s,” Bryan said.
“So you mean I’ll go to jail for a crime I didn’t commit?” Steve asked and Bryan chuckled.
“You brought all this upon yourself,” Bryan replied.
“I replied, I regretted ever trying to rape her, but I don’t take drugs the drug isn’t mine” Steve replied.
“I warned you, but you didn’t listen, anyway I’ll try and talk to Miss Maxwell I pray she listens to me,” Bryan said.
“Thanks very much, bro, I really appreciate you” Steve replied.
“Don’t thank me yet, I don’t know if she’s gonna listen to me, anyway how’s your health?” Bryan asked.
“It’s fine, but I’m going through a lot of pain” Steve replied.
“This will teach you how to respect the decision, I pray Miss Maxwell believes you and help you out, she and Rowen are our only hope and I’m very sure Rowen Won’t like to help you,” Bryan said.
“He has a good heart he will” Steve replied. “How did you know he has a good heart?” Bryan.
“I browse about him and I found out he owns many orphanage homes” Steve replied. “When did you do that?” Bryan asked.
“Yesterday, I browse it when you left” Steve replied.
“Look how gentle you’re because you’ve landed yourself into trouble,” Bryan said. “I’m sorry,” Steve said.

Brittany P. O. V
Mrs. Hunt has been taking me around the house since morning and tired is an understatement, I can feel it in her words that she’s always lonely.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Yeah, I pity her because she only gave birth to that big head.
“I’m glad I’ve you now,” Mrs. Hunt said with a smile.
“Same here ma, you’re a nice person” I replied.
“Ma,” she said and does some thinking. She smacks my àss and glares playfully at me.
“How many times did you want me to correct you?” She asked with a frown.
“I’m very sorry mum” I replied and she nod her head.
How she’s free with me within a period of time is very surprising to me.
No doubt she has a good heart, I thought she will be like the stepmoms I used to read about in novels, she’s not close to them.
“Rowen will be very jèàlóûs when he comes back because I’ve found myself a best friend” mum said with a smile.
“You seem, happy mum,” I said. “Yeah I’m happy I’ve always wished to have a female child I thought God is being wîckèd I never knew he doesn’t want stress for me, someone else trains my daughter and she’s now back to me is that not wonderful,” she said happily.
“It’s really wonderful mum” I replied.
I can see how desperate I’m when I think about my past, I would have betrayed my best friend just because of a guy if I didn’t come to my senses and the guy end up being my big brother, I don’t even know how to face him when he comes back.
“What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how big this house is? Don’t worry you haven’t seen anything your father has many properties, it’s step by step I’ll show you all” she said with a smile.
“Thanks, mum I’m not ready to know all, my foster dad left some things behind for me and I’m okay with them” I replied to her.
“You can never be okay with it, you’re Brittany Hunt. Hunt is a big name so you and your brother need to represent us we” she said.
“Alright, mum” I replied.
“What’s your educational background?” Mum asked. “I’m a graduate mum” I replied.
“Very good, let’s go inside my granddaughter will be very hungry by now,” she said and we both walked inside.
“Mrs. Hunt” Mr. Hunt called with a smile.
Did I just call him Mr. Hunt? Anyway, it’s step by step I’m not used to it.
“Don’t fûcking call me I’ve not forgiven you” mum said and dragged me to the kitchen.
“I’m sorry my love” I heard him say and mum giggled.
“I’ll make him suffer, look there are many things I need to teach you before you get married because I don’t want you to end up like me,” mum said.
“Alright mum I’ll like to learn from you” I replied. “Did you have a boyfriend?” She suddenly asks.
“No ma” I replied and look away immediately. “Why now? Don’t worry I’ll hook you up with Austin he’s a very good guy” mum said with a smile.
“I don’t do hook up” I replied. “Keep quiet,” she said and pick a kitchen spoon before smacking it on my head.
“I’ll hook you up with Austin and that’s final, don’t agree with me again,” she said.
“Okay mum” I replied with a frown..
“Good girl smile for mum” she replied and I hit my leg on the ground.
AUTHORESS P. O. V
“I am her boyfriend” Austin replied with a smile. “He’s not my boyfriend don’t mind him mum” Emma replied.
“Why are you denying me?” Austin asked and burst into tears “lover boy is crying” Mrs. Maxwell said and burst into laughter.
“Austin be serious for once in your life” Rowen whispered.
“Fine I surrender, he’s her boyfriend and I’m acting boyfriend,” Austin said.
“You guys are welcome,” Mr. Maxwell said with a smile.
“Thanks very much, sir” Rowen replied with a smile.
“Come and have your seat,” Mrs. Maxwell said and Emma sat down. “I’ll be right back,” Mrs. Maxwell said and drag Emma out with her ear and Austin burst into laughter.
“What’s funny?” Rowen ask.
“Can’t you see how your mother in law to be drag Emma’s ear?” Austin asked.
“Austin respects yourself,” Rowen said. “Okay sir” Austin replied.
“Mum, why did you drag me with my ear?” Emma asked with a frown.
“Won’t you entertain our guest?” Mrs. Maxwell asked and Emma hissed out loud.
EMMA P. O. V
“Was that the reason why you drag me with my ear? Mrs. Maxwell, you’re biting more than you can chew” I said with a smile.
“Hey, are you talking to me?” Mrs. Maxwell asked looking around and Emma scoff loud.
“is there any Mrs. Maxwell with us apart from you? It’s obvious I’m talking to you” Emma replied.
“Clap for yourself,” Mrs. Maxwell said and Emma clap her palm together. “I’ll so deal with you when your boyfriend leaves” She replied, I wanna see her try. “I’m going with my boyfriend” I replied and stick out my tongue at her.
“To be sincere your boyfriend is very handsome, he reminds me of someone,” Mum said. “Of who?” Emma asked.
“Don’t worry we will visit the person together tomorrow” Mrs. Maxwell replied with a smile.
She walked to the oven and brought out a cake.
Wait when did she prepare this? “You’re surprised right?” She asked with a smirk.
“Why will I be surprised?” I pretended.
“Stop pretending I know that look, I bake the cake before any of you wake up,” she replied smiling sheepishly.
“Wow you tried, so you don’t sleep?” I asked. “Why will I when I’m expecting a big visitor” Mrs. Maxwell replied.
“That reminds me I haven’t seen Brittany didn’t she come back with Dad? I didn’t even ask how it goes I’m a bad friend” I said dramatically.
“Thank goodness you know, you’re a bad friend” mum replied and my phone rang out loud.
“Talking about the dèvil,” I said and show mum my phone.
“Hey baby, where are you?” I asked with a smile. “I’m not happy with you aren’t you supposed to call me?” Brittany asked, I can feel it she’s angry.
“I’m sorry it was mum’s fault, we came late from the Mall” I replied.
.
“Alright, so is Rowen there? Did Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell like him?” Brittany asked.
“Sure they did” I replied with a smile. “Well don’t tell him I’m his sister yet, I need to surprise him” Brittany replied, I can feel it they accepted her already.
. Mrs. Hunt is really nice then.
“They accepted you right?” I asked.
“Sure they did, Mrs. Hunt wanna kill me, she has been showing me around since teaching me how to cook different meals,” Brittany said.
“I’m very happy for you, congratulations girlfriend” I replied.
“Thanks, babe, when are you coming here? Because I’m not sure Mrs. Hunt will release me anytime soon” she said, I look around and I can’t find mum in the kitchen again.
When did she leave here that I don’t know? “Soon I’m thinking of coming with Rowen, but I’m not sure if mum will agree because she told me we are going to her friend’s house tomorrow” I replied.
“Alright you’ll come after tomorrow then” Brittany replied.
“Sure I’ll nothing can stop me, my regards to your new parents I need to go attend to my visitors” I replied and end the call.
I walked inside the Living room Rowen and Austin has a frown on their faces and dad has a smirk on his face.
What’s happening here?
AUTHORESS P. O. V
“Hey babe why’s your face like this?” Emma asked and Rowen burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? What’s funny?” Emma asked with a frown.
“I’m sorry I don’t have a choice but to laugh you’re very funny, Anyway we are playing a game with Mr. Maxwell” Rowen replied.
“Game what type of game is that?” Emma asked.
“It’s called men game” Mr. Maxwell replied with a smirk.
“And Mr. Maxwell was trying to outsmart us,” Rowen said. “You’re very wise to figure that out” Mr. Maxwell replied.
“You haven’t touched your cake, why don’t you like it?” Mrs. Maxwell asked.
.”I do,” Rowen said and take a bite from it.
“I thought you won’t eat it,” Austin said chewing from his cake.
“Why did you think he won’t eat it?” Mrs. Maxwell asked.
“Because he doesn’t like eating from outsiders” Austin replied.
“We aren’t outsiders, right? We are your in-laws to be” Mrs. Maxwell replied and Rowen nodded his head.
“You’re a good cook the cake is very sweet,” Rowen said with a smile.
“Yeah my wife is a great cook unlike your girlfriend, she can’t boil water for coffee,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“And you think you can disgrace me in the presence of my boyfriend,” Emma said with a frown.
“He can’t disgrace you because I know you can’t cook, don’t worry I’ll always cook for you I don’t get tired of that” Rowen said.
“I’ll be right back, I need to prepare lunch for you guys,” Mrs. Maxwell said and stood up. “Who are your parents?” Mr. Maxwell asked.
“Mr. Hunt is my father” Rowen replied. “Wait, you’re Hunt son Rowen?” Mr. Maxwell asked surprised.
“Yes, I’m did you know him?” Rowen ask.
“Sure I did, you’re highly welcome, in fact, I love this” Mr. Maxwell said.
“Thanks, sir” Rowen replied with a smile. “Sandra will be surprised,” Mr. Maxwell said to himself.
“I heard you ran away from home, why did you do that? Or did you guys plan to run away together, I mean you and Emma” Mr. Maxwell asked.
“I met Emma in Paris, dad has been a bone in my flesh, he always wants me to do his wish which he didn’t do mine” Rowen replied.
“I also learned my lesson, if we didn’t pressurize Emma to get married she won’t have run away, anyway it’s a good thing she found love,” Mr. Maxwell said.
Austin called Emma with his hand and Emma scoffed. “What happened? Why are you calling me?” Emma asked with an eye roll.
“I need to see you for something important,” Austin said and Emma hissed out loud. “Please,” Austin said and Emma walked to his side.
“I haven’t seen Brittany since I came here did she go on a date?” Austin asked and Emma burst into laughter.
“What are you guys talking about?” Rowen ask. “Jealousy face your front” Emma replied.
“Yes, she went on a date with a handsome guy I wish you can see the guy,” Emma said.
“Really?” Austin asked with a frown.
“Yes hope no problem?” Emma asked.
“Yes, there’s no problem” Austin replied with a pout.
“But you aren’t smiling again, did you love Brittany?” Emma asked.
“Something like that, why will she even go on a date with s guy” Austin shout out loud and Rowen burst into laughter.
“My best friend is in love,” Rowen said.
“Just keep quiet” Austin replied.
“What happened to him? Emma what did you do to him?” Mr. Maxwell asked. “I did nothing” Emma replied.
Some hours later.
“Thanks very much for entertaining us,” Rowen said with a smile.
“Our pleasure thanks for coming and also send our regards to your parents” Mrs. Maxwell replied.
“Alright, I’ll” Rowen replied. “I’ll be expecting you tomorrow or next I have a surprise for you,” Rowen said.
“Really? I love surprised, I’ll come next tomorrow, I’m going to somewhere with mum tomorrow” Emma said.
“Alright,” Rowen said and hug Emma to hiself.
“Let’s go inside,” Mrs. Maxwell said and cover her husband’s face with her hand.
“Why are you covering my face?” Mr. Maxwell asked.
“I don’t want you to see their make out” Mrs. Maxwell replied. “They want to make out in my house?” Mr. Maxwell asked with a frown and Mrs. Maxwell burst into laughter.
“We can go make out inside our room,” Mrs. Maxwell said. “Oh that’s great,” Mr. Maxwell said and lift Mrs. Maxwell off the ground.
“Hmm I’m lonely,” Austin said.
“Kiss me!” Emma said and touching her lips with her hand and Rowen kissed her immediately.
“What’s the meaning of this? Are you guys trying to remind me I’m Single?” Austin asked.
He shoved his mouth in his mouth and kissed her deeper.
Rowen removed his tongue from her mouth, he tilted her head and started trailing kisses along her jawline down to her neck.
Emma closes her eyes enjoying the feeling and trying hard to hold back the moan.
She moaned out when she can’t take it anymore. “Am I watching a life pórn now?” Austin asked before walking to the car.
They were both engrossed in the kiss that Rowen doesn’t know when his hand get under her blouse and started folding with her breast.
Emma comes back to her senses and stops the kîss.
“Why did you stop me?” Rowen asks with a frown.
“You almost put off my blouse in public, our security is busy feeding his eyes with our makeout” Emma replied with a smile and Rowen nod his head.
“We will continue when I come to your house,” Emma said with a wink.
“I can’t wait to see you,” Rowen said.
“And I can’t wait to see the surprise you have for me” Emma replied.
“Austin are you angry?” Emma asked with a smirk.
“You guys should go and continue” Austin replied and his phone rang out loud. “My secretary, why is she calling me?” Austin asked and pick up the call immediately.
“We need you in the office right away sir,” Her secretary said. “what if I haven’t come back?” Austin asked with a frown.
“I’m sorry sir your file needs your signature and I’ll be submitting it by 6 pm” The secretary replied.
“Why can’t you just sign it?” Austin asked. “I can’t sir” the security replied.
“Alright I’ll be there in the next one hour,” Austin said and end the call.
“Tell Brittany to please pick up my calls, I don’t know why she has been avoiding my calls, I brought something for her, but I can’t drop it since she’s not around,” Austin said and Emma nod her head in support.
Rowen insert his hand in his pocket and brought out a gold chain. “Turn around,” Rowen said with a smile and Emma turn around immediately.
Rowen put the chain on her neck and she screamed out loud immediately she saw it.
” Oh my goodness! You bought this for me, this is fûcking expensive” Emma shouted.
“You’re also expensive” Rowen replied and blow her a kiss before walking to his call.
“I’ll see you soon, right? Rowen ask.
“Sure I’m missing you already,” Emma said with a pout.
“You guys are fûvking wasting my time” Austin growled. “We are sorry sir” Emma replied and Rowen smack his head.
“Instead of you to say sorry you’re hitting my head, I’ll pay you back in your own coin,” Austin said with a smirk.
“Austin will soon be back with Rowen I can’t wait to hook you guys up,” Mrs. Hunt said with a smile.
“But I don’t love him” Brittany replied. “Your face is saying another thing, which means you love him,” Mrs. Hunt said.
“Let me teach you how the make a good it’s very good to learn from other experiences, peer pressure affected my marriage a lot, When you’re married with kids and you have a thriving career, the first thing that slips away in your daily life is “you time.” I didn’t ask you not to work but always create time for your family” she said.
“Mum are you a marriage counselor, I haven’t even gotten married and you’re telling me all this” Brittany said. “I’m telling you all this so you can learn from it” Mrs. Hunt replied.
“Maybe some other time I need to rest,” Brittany said.
“Oh my bad, you need to rest, I’ll go play with Sophia” she replied. “My love” Mr. Hunt called.
“I’m not your love,” Mrs. Hunt said. “I’m sorry, I don’t know that Alicia get pregnant for me,” Mr. Hunt said.
“Did you tell me you’ve a Mistress when we settled our dispute?” Mrs. Hunt asked.
“I’m sorry I can’t just bring myself to tell you, I was ashamed of myself” Mr. Hunt replied. “Okay,” Mrs. Hunt replied.
“Does that means you have forgiven me?” Mr. Hunt asked. “I didn’t say that” Mrs. Hunt replied with a frown. “I know you have forgiven me,” Mr. Hunt said with a smile.
