This is none of your concern so f**k off, Max says.

He grab Max by his collar, you don’t bully student in this school or I will get rid of you.

Max withdraw himself from him, you don’t intimidate me, you are nothing but a dog that obeys the teachers order.

Micheal raises his hand to punch him, Moya stops him holding back his

hand, you are in the school, you can’t beat a student.

Max laughs as he walks away with Ralph.

Micheal hit the bathroom door, his hand bleeding, Ami aghast, you are bleeding, she holds his hand, let’s get you to the clinic.

He snapped his hand away from her, I don’t need your sympathy, he turns and leave.

Moya instruct Ami to return to the class.

They comes out of their hiding, Kate grab onto Ami’s hand dragging her out to the hill of the school mountain, why did Max call you sister in law?, is Jim and Max related?.

I found out after my marriage that Max and Jim are cousins.

You and Max live in the same house and you plan not to tell us, Kate get furious.

Am angry at you for not telling us, Josephena speaks.

Kate cut in, how long do you plan to keep it from us?, we would have still stand by you but you choose not to tell us, Kate left in anger.

You shouldn’t have kept it from us, Josephena says and leave, James

follow her.

Ami sits on the floor weeping as she watch them leave her, Emily and Anitha approach her, Emily bend down in front of her, this is just the beginning of your miserable life, they leave.

Micheal stands by the window looking out, what are you looking at, Moya ask, he looks out the window sees Ami crying alone, do you want to go to her?.

Micheal smirks, why will I want to go to her, she has to suffer for her decision.

It wasn’t her fault get got married into such family,Moya defend her.

I tried to stop her but she still went ahead and married that son of a b***h.

Mr Rico enters, he place a file on the table, here is the students record you asked for it contains their personal details as well as their result so far, their exam is coming up soon I don’t think there’s a need to restrict any student from coming to school as to not jeopardize their preparation for the exam.

Micheal read the file, Max wasn’t present in school during the competition but it written here that he participated, how is that possible?, he looks at Mr Rico.

You specifically instructed that every students must participate in the

competition or it will be a disadvantage to them, he wipes his face with an handkerchief, the teachers also agreed to pardon him so I had to put his name in.

Micheal laughs looks at Moya, is it true that the teachers agreed to pardon him?.

Should I find out to verify the fact?.

There’s no need for that, he hand the file back to Mr Rico, step up with it, ensure every student get the best out of it.

He collect the file and exit the office.

Mr Rico is a cunny person he wouldn’t want his nephew to suffer, am sure he forced the other teachers into agreeing with him, Moya says.

Micheal stands up walk to the window look out, she’s gone.

Moya looks at his wrist watch, she must have left school, do you want me to find her?.

Micheal return to his sit, let her be for now.

Ami steps out of the car look up to see Jim on the balcony speaking on

the phone, she enters the house sees Kiana chatting with Kenley, she approach them, what are you doing here?, Kiana stands up smiling hug Ami tightly, what a silly question you are asking your mother of course am here for you.

Ami withdraw herself from her, I don’t want to see you so get out of here.

Kiana smiles, you don’t want anyone to get a wrong idea about you, don’t you miss your family?, am here with your dad.

Dad is here, where is he?.

Kenley reply, he’s in the study room with Enest discussing a business matter.

Ami turn to Kiana, what of Nanny, is she not here with you?

Kiana speaks awkwardly looks at Kenley and smile, why does she have to come along with us? She’s just a maid, am your mother and am here for you, holding Ami’s hand.

Ami snapped her hand from her, you are not my mother so stop acting like one.

Kenley mumbles to herself, she acts like she is the owner of the house trail her from head spot a ring on her finger look at her face, how did she get this ring?It a new collection that was released three days ago, I wonder how much she bought it.

Austin and Enest comes out of the room, Ami run to Austin hug him tightly, have missed you dad.

Austin hold her hand, how are you doing, Nanny asked me to give you this pointing to a wrapped box on the table, it your favorite snacks she want you to take care of yourself.

Dad, I need to talk to you, Kiana comes in between them,you can talk to your dad another time, it getting late we have to go now.

Ami looks at Austin, am sorry dear, we will talk another day, they exit the mansion.

Kenley open the wrap on the box, Ami pick the box and go up to her room, Kenely watch as she leave with the box, Enest looking at her in disgust, enter his study room.

Ami place the box on the table sees Jim sitting on the bed,how do you feel seeing your parent.

What do you mean?

Austin visit here was to give up the contract he’s working on, Enest wants that contract but your dad won it so he had to give it up because you are part of this family.

My dad won the contract fair, why will he give it up to your dad?, I have to convince him to give it back my dad worked hard to get it.

Jim smirks, you don’t want to create problems for yourself by talking to Enest.
