It's okay, dear... Gregory match Paul, immediately he hear Paul referred to her as dear, Paul doesn't have strength to fight with him, he run out, Gregory turned to her. You don't listen right, you are locking your lips with a boy in front of me right? He slapped her, he wants to hit her again, Craig stood in front of him.

Oh, the two cousin are fighting over you now?

I beg, you stop him, he is going to hurt him. Whitney is still crying when Zoe walk into them. Whitney, what happened to your lips, who hurt you?

You should leave her, karma is catching up with her.

Stop talking to Craig's cousin like that. Jane laughed. What is funny? Zoe asked her.

You are very gullible, Craig's cousin in deed, this girl here is no other than, the poor low life that has been greasing Gregory's bed, Craig is not her cousin.

Wait, is what she is saying true? Zoe asked Whitney, her tears drop.

She can't talk, I am sure it's when Gregory send her away that is when Craig take her in, Gregory is tired of you.

That is not true, he still loves me.

Love you? He doesn't love you, the only reason he didn't break up with you for a very long time ago, is the fact that, he doesn't want you to fail your exam, he knows your family is poor and can't afford another law school fees, that is the reason he pleaded with me to stay with you till your bar exam.

Whitney tears fall. Yes, he doesn't freaking care about you, he just doesn't want to see people get hurt because they are poor, you are just his charity case.

You lie, he loves me that is while he is hurting seeing me with Paul

Haha! Story, he hated you, he just doesn't want you to be happy, he has swear to that, he will make your life a living hell, you are a common prostitute, to him, your pain is his happiness, he pleaded with me to stay with you for your exam, so you are my charity case.

You are a liar. Whitney yelled. You two stop this drama, is Craig your cousin or not? Zoe asked in anger, Whitney tears drop more.

So it's true, you have been fooling me and to think I like you, you should pack your stuff and leave, never you come back, get out, low life, imagine the nerve of this poor people. Zoe is pissed up, she pushed Whitney with her head, her head hit the wall, blood is coming out, that didn't stop Zoe, she slapped her.

I give you ten minutes to pack and leave. Whitney run to the room, she cry, she is hurting, she pack her stuff and left, when Craig dragged Gregory into the garage, he pushed him to the wall.

What is your problem?

How dare she, we haven't break up more than a month, the next thing she is locking her lips with another, she is mine, Whitney is mine.

Go on, announced to the world that she is yours and see what happens to her in the next minute. Craig said. Fine, I know what I will do. He free himself for Craig hold.

What do you want to do?

I will have our marriage register by today, yes today.

Are you mad?

Yes, call it madness but that is what I will do

Gregory no, you will only cause more harm than good, Jane will be mad, she could harm her and she might not survive it.

Gregory cry more.

How can she hurt me like this? She knows I love her, I can't live without her.

That is enough, I warn you, you just don't listen, for all the boys in this life, you have to give her an handsome and a romantic one at that.

Even at that, does she not love me at all? She replace me so fast.

No, he is no stranger to her, she has some feelings for him before now even before you tell her, you love her but that is by the way, you need to stop. Craig hugged him, when he is calm, Craig realized he had hurt him when he punch him, he frown. I am sorry, sorry I hurt you.

It's fine, thanks for stopping me from hurting her.

Come on, you should go apologize to her, I will distract Jane. Gregory nodded the both of them walked inside, Gregory is rushing towards Whitney's room, he didn't see her, Craig is with Jane and Zoe.

Who are you looking for? Jane asked him, he didn't reply her.

My dear, I have send her away, I can't possibly keep a girl that is not related to you in my house.

What? Are you mad? How dare you send someone away from my house, Zoe, you are crossing your limit. Craig is mad.

I can do whatever I like, you should not ever think of bringing her here again, if you can keep your cousin's mistress that means he can also keep yours. Zoe said.

You are unbelievable, you should pray hard that I found her or I will...

What will you do? Zoe said.

This is pointless, boss, let's go look for her. Craig said to Gregory, Jane pull Gregory hand.

You will not go look for that low life. Jane said.

Jane! The coarse voice of Craig, let Jane free Gregory, they both run out but she is not there.

Come on, you should call Paul, go on and call him, maybe, she might be with him. That is true. Gregory called Paul. Pick your damn phone. He yelled at the other side of the phones

Brother, take your calls and how did you get this bruises?

Maria, they are from Gregory. What? Brother, you will get hurt, stop making trouble for yourself, stay away from the girl.

His phone ring again, this time he get it not knowing that Whitney is already at the door. Hello, why are you calling me? Paul yelled on the phone.

Shut up, is Whitney...

Gregory let me be, you should not call me about her again, we have no deal again.

What is wrong with you? Listen to me..

Sir Gregory... Whitney open the door. Gregory! As in, you know Gregory. Paul froze, the call end.

I could explain. Paul said

Explain? Did you know Gregory, just tell me. He nodded. Fine, go on and tell me, are you Reliance? He shake his head, Whitney slapped him.

How could you make a fool out of me? Whitney said.

I am sorry, I needed the money for my sister treatment, so when he approach me to act like your friend Reliance, I grab the opportunity.

Shit! How did I become foolish? Her tears drop. How did I fall in love with an imposter?

Whitney, I love you, it's the truth that is why I called off the deal with him.

That didn't change the fact that you lie to me. She dragged her bag. Wait, I love you.

Stop it, stay away from me and I don't want to have anything to do with an imposter, I can't be loving an imposter. She run away, Paul tears drop, Gregory and Craig rush to him.

Where is she?

Leave me alone, she have find out that I am not Reliance, so she left

Shit! Come on Craig, I am sure she had not gone far. Gregory said they turned the car and left.

They drove for a very long time but she is nowhere to be found.

Shit! Where did she go to? Boss, calm down.

Don't tell me to, I don't freaking want anything to happen to my baby. Gregory cry.

Whitney sit on top the bridge and cry out her eyes.

Why is Gregory this wicked? I was such a Charity case, he break up with me because Jane wanted him to, he didn't even love me and then he takes advantage of me, how did he freaking know about Reliance?

He even has to used my friend against me, it's not fair, he made me fall in love with an imposter, I was loving an imposter, it hurt badly that I could not stop my pain

I told him, that I can't take it if he break my heart but he still break my heart. I hate this life, I should end it, this is waste.

She jumped into the river. Yes, this is the right thing I need now, lord please receive me into your blossom when I will have no pain.
