Two weeks after Marcus' burial, the lives changed.
Josh Rocky took every piece of property that was owned by the Andersons.
Emmanuel's love towards Anita turned into hatred, he is more determined about seeking revenge to both Anita and Josh.
He never stopped blaming Josh for his father's death.
Josh went back to the life of regrets and loneliness.
He is too much in the dilemma to whom to be blamed for Marcus' death whether it's him or Anita.
Anita had never seen sunlight since then, her body was locked inside the Ricky's mansion but her soul in guiltiness and regrets.
Her eyes are not only yarning to see the sunlight but also the beautiful old days she spent with Josh Rocky and Emmanuel Anderson.
Claire's mind got stuck in her old days with Marcus.
She hate everyone who says that Marcus is dead.
Her life walk in illusions of Marcus' memories.
At the Rocky jewelries.
Josh Rocky is having a terrible dream while sleeping in his office.
In a meanwhile, a person entered while whirling around the rope as he walks close to him.
The person places a rope on Josh's neck and start to strangle him.
Josh struggles to get the rope off his neck but in the process lost his conscious.
Abruptly , someone tripped his shoulder and he bolted awake from the dream.
His eyes landed on Emmanuel Anderson.
" You....!"
" Yes ,it's me brother.
What's wrong?, are you being hunt by the deceased?"
" It's not your concern, what are you doing here?"
" I came to remind you that i know what you did with Anita Ricky and I will make you pay for it".
" Instead of reminding me, why don't you look for the person who killed your father and take care of your insane mother...…"
Emmanuel abruptly gips Josh's colar and raise his hand to punch him.
Josh precipitously obstructs his punch and grabbed his hand.
He hastily took him out and threw him out of the building.
" I don't want to see him in this building ever again". Josh angrily commanded the security guards.
Inside the building, all the workers have stopped the work and are observing the situation as they whisper, Josh noticed them and turned back to them angrily.
" And what are you murmuring about?, do I pay you for this?
Go back to work and work for your poor families, or you will be thrown out like your fellow rat".
At the Ricky mansion.
Anita is taking whiskey in her bedroom as she passes tears in her eyes.
Alvin entered the room with another bottle of whiskey and sat beside her.
" Can I join you.....?"
" You've already joined , why do you ask ?"
" Do you miss them....?" Alvin asks as he pours the whiskey in her glass.
" I don't know.... But I feel their painore than I felt when I lost my mother".
" I felt the same pain when I lost my parents.
I had no hope, I had no where to go.....
And it's when your parents came , they gave me a hand, they brought hope and happiness to my life again.
At that time, I swore to serve them with all my heart.
I devoted my life to them, but the Andersons never let me to do so.
And I hate them for that so don't feel any pitty for them".
" You're right ...., I shouldn't feel any pitty or sympathy for the Andersons.
They don't deserve it".
A voice came from the door way.
" That's my daughter now....."
" Dad?"
" Yes , it's me my daughter.
Am glad to know that you're back to be a Ricky ".
" Am sorry if I had messed up before, I won't do it again".
" I know and I know what caused that so I will never repeat the same mistake I made by then.
From now on, I won't send you to do such things and I won't let you get out of this mansion ever again".
" Dad.... !
Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
The past few weeks I realized that my dad wants the best for me ,what we did to the Andersons..., They deserved it and I have no regrets or guilts in my heart.
Now, I should learn to live a free and fair life but I won't agree to be imprisoned in this mansion for the rest of my life.
I need to live a normal life , dad".
" That's what I was thinking about as well, my daughter need to live a good life.
That is why , I have found a good boy for you who will help you forget about the Andersons.
He will treat you like a queen because you're".
" Dad....!"
" My decision is final, get prepared the boy is visiting today ".
Marcus says as he moves out of Anita's room, Alvin followed as well.
" Loius....?" Alvin calls Loius angrily, and grabs his hand.
" So you forgot that am your father...?"
" Why ....?, why are you forcing Anita to get married to someone else?"
" Do you have any problems in that?
Oh....!
Sorry, I almost forgot that you love her as well but let me make it clear.
Anita is your sister and the entire world knows that, don't you care about the Ricky's reputation, how will the world look at us after knowing that you married you're sister ?"
" She is not my sister , am just adopted we all know that".
" Yes...., You're adopted and you're legally my son and Anita is my biological daughter .
Do you really expect me to give my daughter to an orphan?
You're just my dog , a dog which bark when ever I say.
So maintain you're place , don't fly so high where you will not be able to reach" .
" I might be a dog which bark to protect it's own master but am also a dog which may bark to get what I deserve and what I want keep it in mind , dad".
FEW HOURS LATER
Loius receives a call from the family of the man who will come to meet Anita, he get a shock after listening to what he was told on the phone .
He abruptly throws the phone away and it infront of Alvin.
" What is wrong, dad?" Alvin asks mockingly
" Did you do it?"
" What.....?, did the family of your son-in-law refuse your proposaI?"
" So you're the one who did it?"
" Yes...., I did it as I said am a dog which can bark to get what it wants so I did.
It was so simple for them to believe me since I appeared to be their future brother -in- law ".
I told them that Anita is a widowand they were all terrified to the extent that they cancelled your agreement.
Oh..., That may not be the reason perhaps it was because I told them that you're using Anita as a bait to take over there legacy".
Loius raises a hand to hit Alvin but he purposely dodge it and claps at him mockingly .
" What now ,dad? , did I say anything wrong that made you yo lose your ego?"
" I wish I never took you in, bastard".
