Lucy had almost dozed off in her car by the time she heard the knock on the window, and she opened her eyes to see Sonia flashing her phone's flashlight inside the car. Lucy smiled as she opened the door and got down to meet Sonia and Bryan, whose arms were linked as though they were scared to let go of each other. "Sorry we chased you out of your apartment," Bryan said, and Lucy waved the apology off with a smile. "I don't mind. You both resolved things, huh?" Lucy asked, looking at Sonia, whose eyes…-

Lucy's brow creased with a frown when she checked the spot her apartment key was supposed to be but didn't find it. She knew without a doubt that she did not take it to Tom's house since she remembered leaving it there just the previous evening, so where could it be? She mused as she headed for her apartment. Apart from her, only Tom, Lucas, and Sonia knew where she kept the key, and seeing as neither Tom nor Lucas was around, that left Sonia. Was Sonia in her apartment? But Bryan did not mention…

The car was silent until Lucy's phone rang, breaking the silence in the car. She received the call when she saw it was from Bryan. "Bryan?" She asked cautiously since Bryan wasn't the type to call her. Perhaps it was Sonia calling her back with Bryan's phone. "Yeah, it's Bryan. Are you busy? Can we talk?" Bryan asked, and Lucy raised a brow. "Is everything alright?" She asked with a frown. "I don't know. I saw the text you sent to Sonia, and she told me about the pregnancy. Can we talk?" Bryan…

Lucy remained silent even after the twenty minutes long video of Anita's confession ended, and Tom exchanged a look with Harry before looking at Lucy again. "Are you okay?" Tom asked as he took both her hands in his, and Lucy sighed. "I suppose I am. Did she have to go this far, though? This will put her in a difficult position," Lucy said with a slight frown. "It's not your place to worry about her or feel sorry for her. She put herself in this mess," Tom said, and Harry nodded in agreement.…

Without being told, Anita knew that what she was about to do was going to affect her in more ways than one, and she would never be able to move around freely anywhere in Ludus with her head held high after doing this. But she also knew that she needed to go through such extreme measures to get both Tom's and Lucy's attention and seek their forgiveness. How else could she speak to them? She couldn't show up at their home or office. That would be too much. She doubted they would want to see her let alone…

Anita stood in the middle of her bedroom looking down at her luggage which she had packed, ready to travel. Although she didn't have all her plans figured out yet, she was ready to leave and put a distance between her and her family. Lisa had sent her a text to let her know Bernice was conscious and recovering well. That was good enough for her. All she wanted was to be out of the house before Bernice moved in. As much as she understood Bernice's situation, she couldn't stop herself from being angry and…

After Lisa left her sisters in the hospital, Tiffany and Bernice sat in silence, both filled with thoughts of their own, until Bernice sighed. "Why did you bring Jack here? How can you stand seeing us together after what we did to you?" Bernice asked in confusion. "Jack might have his flaws, Benny, but he isn't a bad person. I know he is nothing like Ron, but I can't blame him. I'm sure Ron would have been just like Jack had he been forced to marry someone he knew nothing about…." "I never said he was…

What was wrong with Lucy? This was supposed to be a secret between them, so why did she have to send such a stupid text? What was she supposed to tell Bryan now? Sonia mused as she wrung her hands together and looked everywhere else but at Bryan, who was watching her and waiting for an answer. "Let's go to Tom's house. I will tell you about it when we get...." "No. I want to hear about whatever this is right here and now. You could have told me at the house last night or this morning, but you didn't, so…

"Are you throwing a party?" Mia asked when she walked out of her bedroom and saw Jeff setting the dining table. She had stayed locked up in her bedroom all morning since she had no reason to leave the house. "No. I was just going to call you after setting the table. You haven't had anything to eat all day, have you?" Jeff asked, without looking at her. He had overheard her crying in the middle of the night, and he suspected it was because the pregnancy test had turned out positive. For someone who was…

As Tiffany descended the stairs carrying a duffel bag, she paused when she saw Jack seated by the foot of the stairs where she had left him as though he had remained there waiting for the past two hours. He stood up immediately he heard her footsteps, "Tiffany, I know this is a lot to ask, but can I come with you to the hospital? Please?" Jackson asked hopefully. "I don't think that is a good idea," Tiffany said flatly as she tried to walk past him but he grabbed her hand. "Please, Tiff. I just want to…
