Oh! You think there is no bullet. Craig pull the trigger, Cathy run into bullet, it meet her hand

Ouch! Cathy yelled, she looks at her hand that is bleeding, Craig eyes bulge out, he throw the gun away and run to cathy.

Baby! Craig called and hugged her. I am sorry, you should have let me finish this idiot.

Arrest him.

Victor give the order to the security. Don't touch him. Roland yelled, the security just stand still, Victor look at Roland. come on let's take her the hospital. Roland said.

Cathy try to suppress the pain, the blood is pumping like water, Craig take off his shirt and tie her with it.

I am sorry! Sorry baby! He said again as Cathy pass out. Shit! Can't you drive. He yelled at Roland's driver, Roland didn't say a word to him, he is just staring at him through the mirror, so his son could love someone like this.

Craig calm down, she is not dead, she is just unconscious. Gregory try to calm him, getting to the hospital, they get Cathy on a stretcher, he is rushing into the ward.

Sorry sir, you can't go in.

He stop, Gregory hold his hand, the doctor and nurses are administering treatment to her very fast, they have to take the bullet from her.

Sir Roland, why did you not arrest him? Victor asked him, he smiled. How could I arrest someone whose love is battling with her life? Victor smile, since his boss start having soft spot for Craig, he now smile genuinely.

What is wrong with me? How could I hurt her like that? Craig said resting his head on the wall.

Stop it, she will be fine, it's a good thing the bullet didn't go through her heart.

Stop joking around. Craig said, Gregory laughed. Lover boy. Craig sighed as Gregory call him that.

Roe rush in with the cops. You should arrest this man. Gregory look at craig. Sir, you are under arrest.

Wait! Roe, it's hasn't got to this. Gregory said. Really? He point a gun at my mother, he fire a bullet right close to her leg, he didn't stop there, he point a gun at my dad and shot my fiancee, you tell me, if it were you, will you let it pass? He asked Gregory but he didn't say a word. so take him away.

Fine, I agree that I did all that but let me see Cathy first before leaving.

No way, you want to finish her life, you've done enough. Roe yelled, Roland hand is tie, he can't stop the police, Roe will understand that he has soft spot for Craig.

Take this rascal away and you will not release him, till I say otherwise. Roe yelled more.

Wait, let me see her before I leave. Craig protest.

I am afraid sir you have to come with us, since you agreed to your crime.

Fine, I go on, Greg, you should get my lawyer.

He left with the cops. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Roe said, Gregory run to Roland. Uncle Roland! Roland look at him, for years this boy had called him uncle, just as his son had called him dad but now things are no longer same.

Sorry! Mr Roland, can you please drop the charges.

He will do no such thing, your cousin will remain there for as long as my girl is in pain. Roe said, he walked away.

You are not going to help your son? Greg, he did what is bad, so he...

You really are a good dad. Gregory words are ironic, he left him, Roland sighed, Victor felt sorry for Roland. Sir...

Don't do anything for now, I know Jeremy will get him out, come on, let's go back to the ward.

Should I call dad? I don't think, I could handle this on my own. I also still need to let George know that Cathy is at the hospital.

Whitney is already at George's office, she is crying.

Hey, why are you crying?

Is mother

What happen to her? George is scared. she is kidnapped.

What? Casper is testing my...

Is not Casper, is Jeremy, Greg's dad.

What? His phone ring, Gregory is the one calling him. Why is he calling me?

Who?

Is Gregory.

Don't pick, I beg you, I told his dad, I will never talk to him again. George smile and wipe her tears

Don't worry, I will get mother back, even if I have to sell all my property.

Come on, pick your call. Gregory is talking to himself. Hello, tell your dad...

Please stop it, that is not while I called, is cathy...

Cathy? What happened to my sister? George voice is like thunder now, Whitney tears is much

Relax, she was shot by my cousin.

Is your cousin mad, why will he shoot my sister?

Sorry, it's a mistake, she is at the hospital now.

And where is that stupid cousin of yours?

He is in police custody now.

So fast? George said confused, he did something and he is arrested the very minute, what kind of family, is his two lovely sister getting involved in. Where is she now?

At St. Lucas hospital, I go on now and sorry on behalf of my cousin.

George nodded like Gregory can see him, the line went off. Come on let's go to the hospital.

Are you sure, Cathy is fine? Yes, she is fine. George grab his keys off they go to the hospital.

Gregory called barrister Philip to send some one to get Craig for jail, he drove to Jeremy's

Son, what brought you here? Jessica asked him. Where is dad?

Is everything okay? Ruth asked from behind. Aunty, is a good thing, you are here

Oh, you came here to check if Whitney's mother is here.

I didn't come here for that, Craig is in trouble.

Trouble? Jeremy asked as he walked downstairs, Gregory clear his throat. Can't you talk? Jessica screamed at him.

The thing is, Craig fine out that, his dad is the one responsible for Cathy's failed at the law school, he wants to shoot the man but he ended up shooting Cathy.

Oh that, come on Jeremy, let's go release my son.

Ruth said, Jessica look at her. Yes, the only one thing, that boy didn't do well is not to aim very well at his heart.

Ruth want to clear Jessica thought, Jeremy and Ruth walked out, Gregory go behind them.

TBC...

You are supposed to be in cell.

Gregory is waiting for them outside the prison, his head has so many things and he felt he might drop down at anytime.

Ruth and Jeremy are sitting in front of the DPO. I need my son to be released. Sir, it's not easy, the young man in question pull a trigger which ended the young lady at the hospital bed

So you are saying you will not let him go? Jeremy asked him, he haven't say a word, when the DPO's phone ring, he had texted the commissioner of police who happens to be his friend

He is calling the DPO, to set him free. Yes sir, it's done sir! Right away sir!

The DPO drop the phone and order that Craig should be released.

Thanks for your cooperation. Jeremy said, as he and his sister, go out, Gregory run to them.

What did he say? Where is Craig? Gregory asked.

Hey Mr, you are free, fine boy with bad character. The police man said, Craig didn't reply him a word, he needed to leave.

Gregory run to him as soon as Craig walked out, he is trying to get his wears on his self. Craig, are you fine?

I am fine, who bail me? Craig asked as he wears the stain shirt.

mom and dad.

Okay...

Son, we should go home. Ruth said. Thanks Mom! Craig said to Ruth and bow abit for Jeremy. Come on Gregory, let's leave.

Wait, where are you going? Ruth asked Craig. I need to be somewhere now.

Are you crazy? Will you had been somewhere if you still in there? Ruth asked Craig.

But I am no longer there, come on boss, thanks anyways and don't worry, it's licence. Craig said tapping Gregory shoulder for them to leave, the two left, Ruth hit her forehead slightly.

This boy, will kill me.

I have never seen anyone as crazy as this son of yours, he is born rascal

Can you imagine, let's go and thanks for helping me.

It's nothing, he is my son too, come on. Whitney and George are at the hospital, Cathy is still sleeping.

Whitney stop crying, everything will be fine and I don't think Gregory's dad can hurt mother, I am sure, he just wants to scare you.

I am just confused, mother is missing, Cathy is lying on the bed all because of Gregory's family as well; I just felt that, I am the cause of all this.

Hush! You cause nothing, you should...

Ouch! Cathy felt pain as she is waking up, Whitney and Gregory run to her..

Are you fine? Are you feeling pain? Is the... Whitney is asking her so many questions, as her tears keep dropping, George run his hand on her head, Cathy is ogling in surprised

George, what is wrong with this your cry baby? Cathy asked him, he pushed Cathy's head. You should appreciate that someone is worried about you.

Cathy roll her eyes, Roe enter the room. Thanks goodness you are awake, is the pain still much?

Roe, it will subside, if you just stay here with me.

Silly girl, you must be hungry let me get you what to eat.

That will be thoughtful of you, you should also bring for that cry baby of a sister. Cathy said, Whitney couldn't smile, Craig and Gregory rush in, she is sitting on the bed now.

What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in cell.

Well, I am here now.

I am calling the cops back.

Roe, don't do that, I am fine now. Cathy said. No way, I will make sure he goes back there.

Come on man, we don't intend to pushed on with the charges, my sister is fine now.

Roe just nodded, he can't argue with this man again, he is already in his bad book. Alright, I will get you what to eat. Roe walk away, Craig rush to her.

I am sorry, I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Craig said while caressing her cheeks, Gregory is looking at him. I swear, it will not happen again. Craig face is falling to her lips.

Craig!

Gregory called him, she move from Cathy. Sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt.

It's fine, I am not dead and where is my mother, did you two tell mother, that I am in pain because this rascal shot me?

Gregory fall his face, Whitney tears drop. What is it? What happened to mother? Go on and tell me, ouch! She yelled, the pain in her arm aggravate, George rush to her.

Relax, she is kidnapped.

What? How much are they asking for? Cathy asked. Is Gregory's dad that kidnapped her.

Really? Cathy asked, then looked at craig and Gregory. Tell your dad to let go of my mother or I will file a case against Craig

What? Craig yelled.

Yes, didn't you shoot me? He close his eyes. Wait, I will get your mother back, trust me.

How are you going to get her? Cathy asked, he fall his face. So you want to go with a gun again? Craig felt guilty, he fall his face, Cathy slapped him for the second time, he held his cheek, George look at Whitney in shock.

This little thing could raise her hand and hit a man that could break her in pieces because of love and he will not do anything.

Don't you dare go with a gun to get my mother. Craig nodded, that moment Tony rush in.

Beans pie! He is going to Cathy, George stood in front of him. What are you doing here? George thunderous voice echoes in the room

Brother, let him be.

Cathy, are you for real? George speak in anger. Come on brother, let him stay, he just wants to check on me.

Cathy, you forgive this animal? Craig asked her, she looks at craig.

Come on, didn't you shoot me and you are here? Craig clenched his fist, Cathy ignore him. Come on Tony...

If he stay then I will leave. George said and was heading to the door, Tony held his hand, George pushed him and punch him, what he wanted to do for long.

Stay away from my family, if Cathy is a fool, I am not a fool.

You forgive the one man that cause all the trouble but you just can't forgive me, he was the one that try to rape your sister.

Even if he had rape her, I will still pick him over you because he is ten times better than you, I warn you, I told you not to hurt my sister but you didn't listen, you still... George anger is at the peak, he wanted to punch him again.

Brother stop it.

Roe is back, he walk passed George and Tony to Cathy.

TBC..

Maybe, it's fate, telling us we are not meant to be

Fine, I will leave since you pick him over me, Whitney meet me at home.

That is not true brother, Tony, I am sorry, maybe, you should leave.

Tony look at her, he had never been this heartbroken, his own beans pie, just couldn't pick him.

You can have my number, if you want to check on me. Tony could just made do with it, he get it and left, Roe is busy feeding Cathy, Craig couldn't not withstand it anymore, as Roe run his hand on her hair, he stand up.

I have to go, come on boss let's leave.

Who let you off the hook? Cathy asked him, he gulped his saliva and sit.

George doesn't understand the feelings Cathy had for Roe but it's definitely not love because, he knows deep down in Cathy's heart, it's just a person her heart long for and that is Craig but she wanting to be with Roe, is not one thing, he could describe; maybe, because they live together for long and she is used to him always around her.

Whitney is outside, when Craig and Gregory are leaving finally, Gregory walk to her.

Creamy!

Greg, let me be, I don't want issues anymore, maybe, it's fate telling us, we are not meant to be.

Whitney...

Stop it, stop calling me, just leave already, I have too much from the pain your family has given mine. Gregory want to touch her, Craig held his hand.

Come on, let's leave.

It's better, you should go with your cousin and it's over. She throw his ring to him, Gregory pick the ring, his tears drop, he enter the car with Craig.

Come on, wipe your tears, let's go get her mother, she will forgive you when her mother is save.

How?

Gregory asked him, he bring out the gun again. What is wrong with you? Haven't Cathy warn you about this?

Shut up, there is no bullet in it, we might need it to scared those security.

How are you sure that dad kept her in that mansion?

Stop questioning me, don't you want to get your girl back? Gregory didn't want to argue with Craig because he needed Whitney back and he had promised this time, he must do the needful, no one will stop him from being with her.

Craig get down from the car, when they enter the mansion, so do Gregory.

We are here now, what are we going to do now? Where do we start from? Don't tell...

Greg, shut up, stop annoying me, I want to go to Mara over there, I know she will have information about her, if she is here.

How are you going to do it? Craig gasped for air, this cousin of his, can be irritating sometimes.

I want to seduce her, since you are a dummy, that want everything in black and white.

What? Gregory screamed, Gregory and Craig Know that, Mara has love Craig, the very first day that she was employed to work as a maid in Jeremy's mansion, so Craig wants to used it against her.

Fine, since you don't want my help, carry your cross alone. He turned to leave, Gregory held his hand.

Wait, come on help me. Gregory agree to his plans in frustration, in as much as he hate to manipulate people, his cousin needed to do it to get his love back.

Craig is smiling as he walked towards Mara, at first, Mara wasn't sure, she is the one, Craig is smiling at because she had never see him smile once.

Hey pretty! Craig speak in an alluring voice, she stare behind her. It's you, I am referring to. He pushed his hand around her waist, Mara heart rejoice, she wanted this for years.

Am I dreaming? Mara asked herself, Craig kissed her neck, she hugged Craig in excitement, Gregory shake his head from where he is watching them.

Did I confirm that, you are not dreaming? She nodded, her whole body is shaking, Craig caress her cheeks. Did you know if dad is around? Craig asked cunningly. He is not around, are you here to see him?

Mara asked, Craig shake his head and nodded at same time, she looks confused. What I mean is, here to see you and no because my dad and I just discuss, he said he is on his way, I just asked, if he is around.

Okay, he is not around.

Alright, so I have more time to be with you before we discussed about the woman.

Is the woman your dad brought here yesterday that you two want to discuss about? Craig smile, he has the answer to his question without even asking, he pushed her to the wall slightly and run his hand on her waist.

Yes, where did dad keep her? At the family cell. Craig smiled, he wink at Gregory giving him a sigh where Flora is, Gregory shakes his head, this cousin of his, is hell of trouble for girls, he run to get Flora.

Okay, are they securities? He asked even when the impatient Gregory has left. No, she is all by her own now, the security left to eat.

Okay, I got to go.

Will I see you again? Mara asked, he wants to shakes his head, Mara kissed him all of a sudden, he did not stop her. I got to go.

He finally free himself, he run back to the car, so it will not take them long to get out of the mansion, Gregory pull the door of the cell, he is taking the rope off her hand

Who are you? Please don't hurt me. Flora said, he didn't say a word, he pull her after losing the rope, he didn't take off the blindfold.

Who are you? She asked again, when Gregory had pushed her into the car. Please don't hurt me.

We are not going to hurt you, take the blindfold off her. Craig said.

Sorry ma! Gregory pulled it from her face, now Flora is aware that is Craig and Gregory that came to save her, Jeremy is running out.

Stop them, don't open that gate.

Dad! Gregory yelled, Craig turn the car in a hurry, the security are standing in front of him, he pulled the gun out again, Jeremy eyes bulge out.

Get off his way! Jeremy order, he thought that the gun still had bullet, since Craig had shot someone before.
