Episode 43 & 44 : A New Alliance
<< WINTER MANSION >>
As soon as his chauffeur drove into the estate, Damian got out of it, dashing up the stairs into the house.
He notice some few unknown faces but he could care less about them, his sole aim was Mitchell who he saw sitting beside Davina.
“Where the hell is my wife? What did you do to her!” Damian roared, moving towards her in anger.
This got Mitchell getting out of her seat while Davina stood in front of her.
“It’s not her fault. We were together when it happen and she even got punch on the face while trying to save June” Davina defend.
“How sure are you? She must have set everything up just to get back at June and I!”
“I didn’t do it Damian, it wasn’t me” Mitchell said as she began to sob.
“Davina, take Mitchell to a guest room. She needs the rest. And you, come talk to the police, they’ve been handling it ever since we made a report” Martha said, pulling him to where some men were seated.
“I am Jeremiah, head of the team and I will be handling your wife case. Everybody’s phone has been tap except for yours” The police officer said and reluctantly, Damian gave them his phone.
“It’s Violet, she’s at it again. She must have taken her sister” Ruth spoke from where she was seated with a worried Nathan beside her.
At that moment, Damian got a call from an unknown number.
“Answer it and make sure you keep them talking for long until we get their location” Jeremiah said.
“Hello” Damian spoke.
“We are calling to let you know that your wife is with us. To get her back prepare ten million in cash” the gruff voice said down the line.
“If it’s money you want then I will give you just promise me that nothing has happen to my wife”
“Nothing has and if you play a trick on us by bringing the cops along then you lose your most precious wife” he said and hang up.
“Did you get his location?” Damian and ask and Jeremiah nodded in return.
When Davina left to get her something to drink, Mitchell close the door and took out a small phone.
She didn’t let anyone know about the phone so it won’t be tap too. She called Justin and after the third ring, he answered.
“How are things over there?” She ask.
“It’s going as plan. June doesn’t have any memory of her past” Justin reply.
“What about Violet’s dead body? I thought you will be bringing it as June dead body”
“My men are there already and just like we plan, they will make them think that it’s June body and give it to them”
“Great, just great. I can’t wait to see Damian when he sees the dead body. Am so glad things are working out for our….holy shit!” Mitchell let out in shock as she saw Davina standing at the door, starring at her.
She quickly end the call and gave Davina a smile.
“Did you bring my coffee?” She ask softly.
“Damn your coffee! It was you all along. You and your accomplice took June and you plan on posing Violet dead body as hers” Davina accuse.
“What? I wouldn’t do such a thing”.
“Really? Let’s see what the police have to say about that” Davina said, turning on her heels but Mitchell stop her.
“Don’t even think about it cause if you do, I will leak out your s*xtape ” Mitchell threaten.
“But you told you that you already deleted it”.
“And gullible you fell for it? I didn’t delete it, you fool. I kept it for special purpose and I won’t hesitate to use it now. I know how much you care about your image and if I leak this out, you will die of shame. So if you don’t want me to, I suggest you keep your mouth shut and I will do the same”
“Do you agree?” Mitchell ask and Davina had no choice but to comply.
Meanwhile, outside the mansion. The police were preparing for take off when Damian got a call again.
“Answer it” Jeremiah said, standing close to him to listen in on the conversation.
“I told you not to get the cops involved in this” the man said.
“But I don’t have the police with me”.
“You do. Have got eyes in that mansion of yours and right now, I know that you are bringing the cops along. You failed to do what I ask you to and now your wife will pay the price” he said and before Damian could speak, they heard a loud gunshot.
“You brought this on your wife” then the line went dead.
<< THREE DAYS LATER >>
“It’s been three days and there’s no news about June and there is also Davina. She keep to herself and hasn’t eaten for the past three days, all of this is taking a toll on me” Martha complain to Nathan since he is the only in the house she can talk to.
“I believe that my sister is fine and will be home soon and as for Davina. Maybe something is eaten her up, why not talk to her” Nathan suggest.
“I tried but she won’t say a word. Why don’t you give it a try Nathan, please go talk to her” Martha urge and reluctantly, Nathan went to Davina.
“What are you doing here?” Davina who was standing beside the window ask the moment he walk in.
“I came to give you this. Your mom said that you haven’t eaten for the past three days” Nathan said.
“Am not hungry. Take it away” she reply, turning her back on him.
“If it’s something hard for you to cope with, why not just spill it out instead of keeping it within ” Nathan said and that got her turning to stare at him.
“I…I….”
A scream that suddenly came from downstairs ended whatever Davina had to say and when they join everyone outside it was to see Damian, kneeling beside a corpse.
“No, June. You can’t be dead” Damian said while crying.
Davina stood watching everyone cry while some tried to console Damian.
She knew she had to say the truth, no matter how scared she is about her s*x tape being leak, she has to tell everyone the truth.
“That’s not June….it’s Violet” As soon as she spoke everyone turn to stare at her.
“This isn’t the time for your joke Davina” Martha glare a warning at her daughter but she didn’t back down.
“Take a look at her properly, Damian. Is she your wife? There must be Something about June that Violet doesn’t have” Davina said, kneeling beside the corpse too.
“She has a mole…on her hip” Damian said, pulling the clothe up but there was no mole.
“And when she was little, she had an accident which left a cut on her right index finger ” A crying Ruth said, feeling hopeful that the dead body on the floor isn’t her daughter.
“There is no scar there” Damian confirm, starring at Davina.
“Even though she’s putting on June clothe, she is not June” Davina said again.
“How do you know all this?” Damian ask.
“Three days ago. I overheard Mitchell talking on the phone… You are right, she’s the one behind this” Davina reveal, feeling relieve when she said the truth.
<< HOTEL >>
Mitchell had just finish having her usual talk with Justin when she heard the door bell.
Thinking it to be Davina, she open without checking only for Damian to grab hold of her neck, slamming her hard against the wall.
“I knew it was you. Tell me where June is” he said, pressing her neck slowly, his eyes filled anger and hate.
“I…won’t” Mitchell manage to say and that got Damian, tightening his hold more.
“Stop it! You are going to kill her” Jeremiah, the police officer came rushing in to stop him.
Immediately, he let her go. Mitchell fell on the floor coughing hard.
“If you kill her then there’s no way we get to know where June is” Jeremiah said, trying to calm Damian.
“You still won’t get to know where she is cause I won’t tell you. It’s best you kill me cause you won’t be able to get June back” Mitchell yell at him and this time it was Jeremiah who walk towards her, giving her a slap.
“I think with enough torturing, you will end up spilling everything” Jeremiah said, pulling her up like the criminal she is and out of the suite.
<< POLICE STATION >>
It had taken half an hour to get the truth out of Mitchell, she had refuse to say anything at first but with enough beating from Jeremiah, she ended up saying the truth.
The CCTV footage was played for Damian who wasn’t present in the room.
“So, June’s step mother and her cousin Justin are behind her kidnap?” Damian ask to understand things better.
“According to Mitchell, they need June for the inheritance which is why they took her. Violet didn’t seem to be a good choice and so they had her killed and pose her as June” Jeremiah explain.
“These people are at Rome, right?”
“They are but we will handle things from now. My men and I will leave for Rome and bring back your wife” Jeremiah said, trying to assure him.
“Why bother doing that when we can do the same thing” Damian said starring at Jeremiah.
“And what do you mean by that?”
“We use the same method they use. We kidnap June and bring her back home” Damian replied…..
Episode 45 & 46 : Ruth’s Last Stand
<< POLICE STATION >>
“But that’s not right. If we did the same thing they did, then that isn’t law” Jeremiah said to Damian whose mind has been made.
“I know it isn’t law but if you charge to Rome,they will use their law upon you. Have been checking up on Rome’s law and it’s a lot different from ours. My plan is go there and bring June here and also bait him, he will definitely come for June and that’s when we use our law on him” Damian explain.
“I don’t need you to understand me, have made up my mind and it’s final”
<< WINTER MANSION>>
“You are taking a risk, Damian! What if you end up getting hurt or they hurt June?” Martha ask, watching her son pack some few clothes for the trip.
” If they do then they should be prepared to die” Damian said gruffly.
“But Damian…”
“Don’t try to change my mind mom. Am going to Rome and that’s final”.
“And am coming with you” Davina said, standing by the door way with her bag in hand.
“You too? You should be talking some sense into your brother not following his footstep” Martha yell at her daughter.
“How can I? When it’s my fault that June is there with them. I want to help you Damian, let me come too” Davina pleaded and knowing he will need help, he allowed her.
The both of them got downstairs just to see Nathan waiting.
“Justin and the devil Parker knows who you are. If they recognise you then it’s game over which is why I want to come too, since they don’t recognize me, they won’t notice a thing” Nathan explain.
“Camila also said the same thing to me. Since they recognize Davina and I, it will be better to take Nathan along” Damian said.
“Then let’s hit it!” Nathan said in excitement while their mothers silently pray for their success.
<< ROME ~ PARKER ESTATE >>
“Where’s Violet? I want to see her” Lionel Parker demanded from his bed and at that moment June walk in.
“Am here, daddy” June said, giving him a hug.
After giving June the drug which made her lose her memory, they brainwash her completely.
Making her believe that she’s Violet and that she has a twin called June who hasn’t been found, they also made her Believe that she’s engage to Justin and Lionel who was so happy by the news decided to change his will, giving everything to June and leaving a bit for Violet.
“You look bright this morning” Lionel comment, smoothing back her hair.
“That’s because am happy. I have you, I have mother and Justin” June said referring to Devon as her mom.
“Then am glad, I am glad that you are happy here with us” Lionel said as the door open to reveal Camila.
“Aunt” June call, giving Camila a hug.
“Always greeting me with a hug, you are the sweetest niece I can ever ask for” Camila said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“What brings you here Camila? I thought you said you needed to deal with some business at Singapore” Lionel ask.
“Oh! It’s been sorted and so have decided to spend time in the estate. I rarely do that” Camila explain as her phone beep for a message.
★ WE’VE ARRIVE ★
“Erm….Violet, will you like to take a stroll with me?” Camilla ask.
“Sure aunt”
Together they left Lionel room to take a leisure walk in the garden.
“You know, some friends of mine just arrive. How about coming with me to welcome them, they are staying at our guest house “.
“I don’t know. Justin told me not to leave the mansion, I should listen to him”
“Common! What will a little walk do and besides, Justin isn’t here. You don’t have to worry about being caught” Camila said, watching her hesitate briefly before giving in.
Nathan, Damian and Davina were all waiting at the guest house when Camila arrive with June.
“Hello Camila and you must be Violet, well I am Nathan, at your service” Nathan said, taking her hand for a shake while acting according to their plan.
“And I am Davina,it’s a great pleasure to meet you”.
“Nice meeting you too” June said as her eyes drifted upon the second guy who just stood quiet, watching her.
Something about him made her feel strange, It was like she had met him from somewhere.
“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself to my niece, Damian” Camila said.
“Damian!” June call, feeling a sense of deja vu.
“What? Do you remember something?” Camila ask and June shook her head.
“I don’t but I feel a bit weird, it’s like I know you and that’s funny cause this is our first meeting” June said to Damian who left where he stood to stand in front of her.
“We might have met, you never know. Damian, my name is Damian” he said, putting out his hand for a shake when what he wanted most is to pull her into his arms and tell her how much he miss her.
“Violet Parker” June said, shaking him too but when she tried to pull away, he didn’t let go of her hand and that made her feel weird, it made her feel like her stomach is tied in knots and the craziest part is her heart pounding hard against her chest.
She have never felt this way with anyone, not even with her fiance.
“Ugh…I think it’s best you let go of her hand” Camila spoke and that got Damian releasing her.
“I’m sorry. I just got carried away, you look like someone I know, someone dear to me” Damian said.
“Who, if I may ask?”
“My wife”
On hearing that, June wondered why she felt sad knowing that he’s married.
“Oh, so you have a wife” she said, forcing a smile to her lips.
“I do but she doesn’t recognize me” he said with pain filled eyes.
“Okay! Enough talk about Damian, let’s all eat lunch, I know you must have prepared something Davina?” Camila said and Davina nodded giving her a knowing look.
“While Nathan bring out the food, I will pour us all a drink” Davina said moving towards the counter.
She put out five cups and fill it with orange juice then she slip a sleeping pill into one cup and that’s the cup she gave to June.
Though they didn’t show it, they all waited for her to drink the juice so once she is asleep, it will be easy for them to get her back to the plane and leave.
Just as she was about to take a sip, the arrival of a car prevented it.
“Violet” Someone call from outside and that got June leaving her seat.
“It’s Justin” she said, quickly rushing out.
“Justin must not see you two but Nathan can come with me” Camila said and went outside with Nathan.
“Why on earth will you leave without saying a word . Do you know how worried I was?” Justin said, pulling June into his arms.
“I’m sorry, I just took a walk with aunt”
“Don’t ever leave the mansion again. I told you how dangerous it is for you. There are bad people around us and they might do something to you” he said this while starring at Camila who was walking towards them with Nathan behind.
“Don’t blame her. I brought her here to meet my friends” Camila said.
“Really? Didn’t we make it clear that she’s not meant to be anywhere other than the residence?”
“But this is still the residence, I didn’t take her out. I don’t understand the overprotection? It’s not like you are hiding something or are you?” Camila ask, baiting him but Justin didn’t fall for it.
“I hope you refrain from taking her out again. Let’s go, love” Justin said, pulling June into his arms while taking her to his car.
“The nerve of that bastard! I really want to punch his face” Nathan burst out when Justin had driven off.
“I also feel the same but none of our anger can be compared to that of Damian” Camila said starring at the window where Damian was standing.
<< EVENING >>
Camila return to the mansion earlier to look for ways to get June out of the house but all her effort were fruitless since Justin stayed by her side throughout.
They were seated at the dinning room, eating their dinner when Devon spoke.
“Sweetheart, Justin and Violet have something to tell us”.
“Really? Spill it out, am curious ” Lionel said watching the two couple.
“Well you see, Violet and I have decided to end our engagement”.
“Really? That’s a great news, I never thought you two to be a good match” Camila said only to recieve a angry look from Devon and Justin.
“Am not done talking” Justin said and Camila nodded, giving him the chance to continue.
“Like I said, we want to end our engagement and make it real, we plan to get married in two days time” He announce and while Lionel and Devon wish them well, Camila left the room in anger…..
Episode 47 & 48 : Fight for Freedom
<< ROME >>
“Am going to kill that bastard!” Damian said, leaving his seat but Nathan stop him.
“We can’t do anything rash Damian! If they know you are here, it will ruin things” Camila said.
After the wedding announcement, she had left the mansion to come give them the news but she hadn’t been expecting Damian to react this way.
“Camila is right Damian. Now more than ever we should think of ways to get June out of this country” Davina said and that calm him down.
” I have a plan in mind and we need to stick together to achieve that plan” Camila said.
“Spill it”
<< NEXT DAY ~ MORNING>>
Camila stood by the window in her room watching Justin and Davina leave and as soon as their car was out of sight, she dash downstairs heading to her brother room since she knew June will be there.
“Good morning everyone” she greeted,giving Lionel a kiss and then June.
“You must be calm now. You left the dinner room after their announcement” Lionel reminded.
“Am not calm, am still angry”
“Are you angry at me, aunt?” June ask.
“Not at you but at Justin. I have no doubt that the marriage thing is all his idea, how dare he ask you to marry you when you are already….” She stop herself before she spills everything.
“Anyway, I don’t agree to this marriage. I don’t” she said and began to head out but the ringing of her phone stop her.
“What! He is sick? Oh no! I will be there soon ” she said, ending the call.
“What’s wrong aunt?”
“Nathan, Nathan fell off the stairs and is in a serious condition, I need to go to him” Camila said about to leave but June stop her.
“I will come with you. We will talk later, daddy” June said, leaving the room with her aunt.
They got to the guest house only to be reassure by Damian that all is well and that nothing serious happen to Nathan.
“Thank God. I thought that he was badly injured” Camila said, taking a deep breath.
“Since you are here June, how about I get you something to drink” Davina offer.
“No you don’t have….”
“Let her, I feel quite happy to know that you came here to see me even when that…your fiance told you not to” Nathan who was seated on chair with his leg bandage said.
“I will go get the drink” Davina left the room to prepare the drinks and just as they plan, she slip the drug into June’s cup and was about to leave the kitchen when she saw June standing there.
“Oh June! You didn’t tell me you were here” Davina said, looking nervous.
“Did you put something in that drink? Who were you going to serve?” June ask.
“I didn’t put anything in it ” Davina denied but June was adamant.
“What’s going on here?” Camila ask as they all came into the kitchen.
“I saw Davina putting something in the drink and she….” June stop talking when she saw Nathan on his two feet.
“Wasn’t your leg broken, how can you…you lied right? You didn’t have an accident and you, you drugged one of the juice” June yell at them.
“Calm down, Violet. They can explain” Camila said trying to calm her down but June didn’t listen.
“Am leaving” she said walking towards the door but Damian obstruct her path.
“Am sorry but you can’t leave, I won’t let you leave” he said.
“You can’t keep me here. Am calling Justin, i should have listen to him” June said, wanting to make a call but Camila took the phone from her.
“This people aren’t the bad guy. They aren’t trying to hurt you instead, they want the best for you. Nathan lied about his fall just so you can come with me and the drink Davina spike is meant for you. You need to go back to where you came from, you need to go back home with them” Camila said.
“What are you saying aunt. My home is here with you and daddy”
“It’s not! You’ve been told a lie but am sure that Damian will explain the whole thing to you. Is the chopper here?” Camila ask and Damian gave a nod.
“Hurry up and take her away, I will handle Justin once he arrive” Camila said and immediately, Damian hit June on the back of her neck,making her unconcious, he proceeded in carrying her out while Davina and Nathan took their things, all of them heading to the waiting helicopter.
<< STILL THE SAME DAY ~ EVENING >>
Camila was waiting in the sitting room when Justin arrive.
“You still here?” He ask, a smug smile on his face.
“Of course. Did you think I went back to Singapore already?” Camila ask.
“Well, I heard from the guards that your private chopper came and I thought you left on a business trip or so. Well never mind, have you seen Violet?” Justin ask.
“I think that by now, she will be back at the winter estate, with her husband and living her rightful life” Camila said, standing on her feet.
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that June is gone, the chopper which came wasn’t for me but for her. She’s back where she belong you dutch bag ” Camila said and immediately, Justin ran upstairs in search of June.
He dialed her number and there was no reply.
He went back downstairs,calling someone else and after the third ring, Devon answer her call.
“June is gone. Damian came for her and am going after them, help me ready the private plane” he said before ending the call.
<< AUSTRALIA ~ WINTER MANSION~ MORNING >>
June open her eyes to find herself in a strange room and seated beside her is Damian.
“Where am I? Who are you people and why have you abduct me?” June demanded.
“We didn’t abduct you June, we only brought you back to your home and to the people who are your real family” Damian said.
“Who are you? Who the hell are you!” June yell at him, feeling scared.
“I am your husband. Davina is my sister, your sister in law and Nathan is your brother”
“Lies! Lies! I don’t have a brother. I only have a sister who hasn’t been found” June said.
“Justin told you that, right? Well, you do have a sister but she’s dead. Justin and Devon killed her and your sister is Violet , you are June” He told her, furthering confusing her.
“Justin and Devon abducted you and killed Violet. They made us think Violet is you while they made you think you are Violet. You are June, the one I married, you have a mother and brother who loves you and there is my mother too and….”
“Lies! They are all lies! Get away from me, I don’t believe a word you say!” She said, getting out of bed to run out of the room.
As soon as she got downstairs, she was met with two strange faces, she only recognize Davina and Nathan.
“June, my sweetheart” Ruth said, moving towards her to give her a hug but June push her away.
“Get away from me. You all have abduct me, I will call the cops” June said, running towards the cell phone but Nathan stop her.
“Try to remember sis. We are your family, we love you and we can never hurt you” Nathan said.
“That’s right June. We are your family, whatever those people told you is a bunch of lies” Martha added.
“You are married to my brother, you are June Brooks” Davina said from where she stood.
“Here’s a picture of you and Damian” Ruth said, giving June an album which she go through finding the picture hard to believe.
“See, you really are our family” Nathan told her when she finish scrolling through the album.
” The person In the picture isn’t me but Violet. It’s Violet you married and I….”
“Need me to show you a prove that it’s you I married and not Violet. You’ve got a mole on your hip, I know about it cause have seen it multiple of times” Damian said, lifting up her skirt to show her the mole.
“Get away from me!” June said pushing Damian away.
“I need to leave, I want to leave and you all can’t keep me here” June scream running out of the house.
During that moment, a car pull to a halt in front of the mansion and Justin came out of it, running towards June.
“My love”
“Justin! Thank God you are here, this people keep telling me lies, I want to leave. Get me away from them” June said, crying in his arms.
“What did you do to her! First, you abducted her and now, you try to hurt her. Am going to sue everyone of you” Justin yell at them.
“You are the one who will be sleeping behind bars. Not only did you abduct my wife, you also killed her twin and pose her off as June!” Damian said in return as the police officers showed up.
“Are they saying the truth Justin? ” June ask slowly.
“They are lying. Devon, your father, your aunt and I are your real family. They are only mistaking you for June, you are Violet. My fiancee”Justin lied through his teeth.
“Oh have had enough! Am going to punch that face of yours in” Nathan said, moving towards Justin but two police officers stopped him.
“I think it’s time you stop with your kids, Mr Miller. Your accomplice Mitchell, have spoken the truth. I can assure you that you will be spending a lot of time in jail” Jeremiah, the officer in charge said as he pull Justin away from June, handcuffing him.
While Martha, Ruth and Davina took June into the mansion.
Damian walk towards Justin and gave him a punch on the face.
“That’s for abducting my wife” he said and gave him another one.
“And that’s for killing Violet” He added.
“Officer, how can you just let him hit me without doing a thing” Justin choke out, his cheek stinging as hell.
“That’s because you deserve it” Jeremiah said, pushing him into the car.
“We will handle it from here now, you can be rest assured ” Jeremiah said, shaking Damian before leaving with his men.
Damian was about going in when he got a call from Camila.
“Has he been caught?” Camila ask.
“He has, what about Devon?”
“Oh the witch is locked up too. When she found out about June being abducted, she tried to kill my brother and I but our guards came to rescue and soon enough, the police came to take her away” Camila explain.
“Good. The both of them are now behind bars” Damian said.
It’s all over… He thought and let out a sigh of relief……
