Christina, something he wouldn't be able to resist.

Claire, or , we should go on a triple date with the guys.

Christina, yeah no , I prefer alone with David, plus I can't stand Kimberly.

Claire, right oh well , did you decide on the engagement date.

Christina, not yet, David's mother said next month, I hope David will agree.

Claire, he will , his mother is so dramatic that she can convince him.

Christina, and I still have my father.

back at the villa David sat in his office chair and in his hands he held his wallet he kept staring at it lost in thought and for a moment there was sadness and longing in his eyes. he was interrupted by a call from his mother asking him about the engagement and as soon as he heard , his face turned cold like stone, but he had to go with with the flow even though he was to marry someone he didn't love.

Catherine was winding up at the cafe with Jerry when he started getting nosy about kim and Jackson visit , but Catherine was avoiding the topic all night as much as she could , she kept herself busy to avoid him, but he didn't give up he promised to keep on asking .

when she was locking up kim was waiting for her by the car.

kim, Catherine we need to talk.

Catherine, I have nothing to say to you. and didn't I say I will give you a call once I have decided if I want to rent in your mall.

kim, not about the mall, am here to talk about raya.

Catherine, and what do you want to say kim , what questions do you want to ask so badly that you are here at 9pm in this chilly weather.

kim, I just want to know if raya is David's daughter.

Catherine, no she is not.

kim, don't deny it , they look alike , they have the same red hair and smile and eyes.

Catherine, you ask and you deny my Answer, do you want me to say yes to everything you ask, it that it

kim, why are you being defensive?

Catherine, am not am being like This because I have a daughter waiting for me at home right now so I can read her a book to put her to bed.

kim, ok then who is the father.

Catherine, he died 3 years ago in a car crush. you can check the tabloids.

kim, ok soo...

Catherine, yes whatever you heard the miller's said was true , and as soon as I was discovered I ran away here with my lover and I got pregnant with Raya, she doesn't remember him much.

Kim, right ok ok look what happened was horrible and it's been 6 years and I miss you , we were best friends, I want us to be close again, and am sorry for pushing you , you know am always curious and push a little had.

Catherine, what you can for me now is to stay away from me and my daughter, we don't want anything form you rich people all you ever do Is bring trouble to us.

Kim, Catherine don't say so , I want to be part of your life again, and I know I messed up but I want to be here.

Catherine, goodbye Kimberly.

Catherine got in her car and drove away, leaving kim alone alone, she knew bringing kim back in her life will bring Kim's husband and eventually David, so she had to lie in order to keep her daughter safe from the miller's, when she reached home, Patricia was sleeping with raya in her arms , she walked up to her not waking up raya.

Patricia, hey you are late today.

Catherine, yeah sorry i had something to take care of, I will take her to my room.

Patricia, I think it's best you take her to your room she has a fever but I managed to bring it down so just monitor her.

Catherine. ok thanks Goodnight, will see you tomorrow.

Patricia, Goodnight

Catherine, baby hi, how are you feeling

raya, I feel kind of cold

Catherine, okay you will be in my bed tonight ok love.

raya, okay mommy.

the next morning Catherine called Jerry to open up without her cause she had to take raya to the hospital, when they reached the hospital they had to wait in the lobby before being put in a ward , when Catherine saw that her daughters fever was raising , she stood up to comfort the reception nurse and of cause she mentioned she had insurance so immediately the nurse took the little girl to the ward and later a doctor came to examine her. what do you think is wrong with her asked Catherine, it seems she has contacted erythema infection by parvovirus , B19, fifth disease typically present as a rash and is more common on children

Catherine, what's fifth virus

Doctor, but it's not life threatening will just keep her here for a few days or so don't worry get some rest she will be taken care of. and also what school is she from so that we have our team visit the school for testing the other children.

Catherine, yes yes I will give information to the nurses.

Doctor, excuse me

Catherine, thank you.

Brian, hey Catherine I heard what happened from Jerry, how is she , let's see her chart.

Catherine, hey she is okay , they have put to her to sleep her fever has gone down

Brian, okay I got so worried come let's get some coffee.

nurse, Doctor Miller your cousin is in your office.

Doctor Miller, oh what does he want this time.

Doctor Miller, yes elder cousin what can I do for you today.

David. show me some respect am older than you , I need more medicine

Doctor Miller, I thought you stopped taking those anti-depressants they are not good for you remember, plus we don't need any more addictions, I thought you had a project that was keeping you busy.

David, I do but something happened earlier this week that made me think of her.

doctor Miller, speaking of her I know I never met her person just in a photo once but I saw a client today that looks like her , very beautiful woman but I think she is dating or married to doctor Brian from the surgeons department.

David,this information is connected to my medicine how?.

doctor Miller, not connected I just thought,,,well never mind,so the medication I won't give it to you.

David, do you want me to tell mother that you are dating a woman with a kid who is almost a teen.

doctor Miller, hey am not an heir to a large group so who I date is not the family's concern.

David, ok then I will just dial mothers number.

doctor Miller. wait wait fine I will write a prescription and you can get the medication at the hospital pharmacy, you do know you just bribed a health worker right?

David, no I bribed my little cousin, see you later.

David left the the office with his scary presence, even though they grew up together david had always had a king like presence. walking in the hall to the pharmacy he saw a woman standing by the elevator, her figure and straight hair made her look like someone he knew, apart from the fact that this woman had grown a bit wider in the curve areas. she entered in the elevator but he was unable to see her face, he stood thinking if to follow her or not but he decided to get his medicine and leave.
