~(Some days earlier)~
Mr. George walked into Doctor James’s office with his hands in his pocket.
“Mr. George.. so nice to see you”
Doctor James.
“How are you coping with work?”
He asked.
“Am coping well…
It is so unusual to see you, is something wrong? Mr George”
“Yeah, I need you to do something for me. Would you like to lose your license?”
Doctor James laughed.
“What kind of joke is that? Apparently, I don’t want to lose it”
“Then, you will do as I say…
Fake a DNA result for me” Take a DNA test on Lauren’s baby and make it match Alex’s DNA”
“Am sorry Mr George…
I can’t do that, that’s against my ethics and profession”
“Well, you don’t know about that when you harvesting organs for my fellow rich politicians”
Mr George said.
Doctor James was surprised. He couldn’t believe someone found out his secrets.
Mr George burst into laughter.
“You think I don’t know about everything?
“Try to understand me, Mr George.. am just trying to get extra tips from the job.
Doctor James said.
“Well, make me a fake DNA results, and your secrets stay with me.
Your license remains safe and I will also pay you wholesomely”
Mr George replied holding his shoulder.

~Present~
It has come to a hearing that Ethan Baker was found dead in his prison cell a day after he was sentenced to life imprisonment. The story came as a shock and what had caused his death has raised different questions.
Oh, I think the reasons are in”
The female reporter said after receiving a short announcement through the earpod in her ear.
“Reports just got to me now that Ethan Baker stabbed himself, he committed suicide.
Other news says he was ki||ed by someone else”
But the truth will be known soon as the forensics are working on his actual cause of death”.
Alex turned off the TV and sighed.
“So, this is what Mr George is planning?
He asked himself. “How is Lauren going to face this?”
He kept wondering not noticing Lauren walk in.
“How am I going to face what?
Lauren asked. She seems she only heard that last part Alex said.
“Hey, Morning…
Am just thinking of all that you’ve gone through”
Lauren smiled and sat down beside him. She wrapped her hands around Alex’s neck.
“Thanks for caring about me”
“I have to…
Now, that we both owned a child”
“About that, I still don’t believe you owned my baby, we both know what Mr. George is capable of.
Am only going to believe if Doctor James tells me so” he is the doctor I trust”
“Okay then.
Alex shrugged. “You can take your time”
“Yeah…
Lauren stood up.
“Am paying a visit to Ethan today. It’s been a while since we saw each other”
“I don’t think visiting hours are opened for him yet, I mean he just got sentenced, it will be too early to accept visitors”
“Don’t you want me to go see him?
Lauren asked.
“Cos, I asked my lawyer and he informed me visiting hours are opened”
“Oh…
Maybe you can go some other time, but not today”
Alex is trying to find an excuse to keep Lauren from going. He knew he going to break down if she heard Ethan Baker was dead.
Ellie walked in looking sad.
“Morning, Ellie… You came just in time, we can head to see Ethan Baker together today”
Ellie looked at Alex and back at Lauren.
Alex nodded negatively. Ellie quickly understands it.
Lauren hasn’t heard the news yet.
Ellie walked to her and hugged her. She burst into tears on her shoulder.
“Ellie?
What’s wrong?
Lauren asked.
Ellie disengages from the hug and looks at her face. She held her hand.
“Lauren? Ethan is dead. He committed suicide while in prison”
Ellie broke the news. Alex puts the TV back on.
Lauren turned and saw Ethan’s face being displayed on the TV.
She suddenly blacked out on Ellie’s hands.
Alex quickly rushed to her.

(Some days later)
~City’s prison ~
Ethan’s lawyer waited in the visiting room. The head of the prison building walked in a little later. He dropped a file on the table.
Ethan’s lawyer took it and opened it.
“This is a lie”
“Well, the forensics don’t lie.. his fingerprints were found on the knife”
He definitely stabbed himself”
“My client can never do that… There is no reason he will want to commit suicide. He only wants to get out and see his girlfriend and his family.
It’s quite alright obvious, someone is behind all this, a h@ťěr”
We can both see it”.
“Well, there is nothing I can do. his fingerprints are found on the knife. And if truly it wasn’t suicide. A ki||er doesn’t leave his knife stuck in his victim’s body”
“A professional can do it. He can just wear some hand gloves and cover his prints”
Also, the ki||er, after ki||ing Ethan… Can place Ethan’s hands on the knife for his prints to stay on it”
His lawyer said.
“There are different explanations for his murder but the most likely one is suicide”
He replied.
His lawyer sighs and relaxes back on his chair.
“Ethan had really offended a h@ťěr and an enemy”
He muttered.

(Royal London’s hospital)
Lauren lies on the hospital bed as she reads the magazine. Ellie, Hannah, and Harry walked in.
Lauren smiles on seeing them.” How are you feeling? ”
Ellie asked.
“Am fine now…
Nice to see you all again, Harry and Hannah.
Hannah’s eyes were already sore and swollen. It seems she has cried too much for a few days now.
Hannah walked to Lauren and gave her a consoling hug.
“Am sorry about everything”
Lauren said.
“No, it’s okay…
Hannah replied.”I heard you passed out when you also heard the news.
Are you okay now? ”
” Yeah, am fine”
Lauren replied and faced Ellie.
“How is the company?”
“Linde Plc is fine … You shouldn’t be worrying about that now,
What’s important it’s your health”
Ellie replied.
“I think all this is planned out.
Ethan was framed, someone wants him out of the way”
Harry suddenly said.
“Yeah, obviously… It’s Mr George”
Lauren shrugged.
“Why would Ethan would just decide to take his own life?”
That sounds absurd to my ear, cos the ethan I know would never do that”
Ethan wants out, he wants to see everyone.. so there is no reason he will take his own life”
“Harry is right…
Ethan didn’t commit suicide. Someone else did ki|| him”
Hannah replied.
“But there is nothing we can do… We are hopeless, we have nothing to prove Mr George did it”
Ellie said.
The doctor walked in.
“Doctor James”
Ellie called.
“Evening, everyone.
Doctor James smiles.
How are you feeling? He gave Lauren.
“Am fine now,
Can I be discharged today?”
“Yeah, sure.
That’s why am I, you are free to go now
Just make sure you have plenty of rest”
“Yes, doctor”
Lauren replied. He was about to step out when Lauren called him back.
“Doctor James…
You conducted a DNA test on my baby right?”
Lauren asked.
“, Yes… I did
Your Uncle and your husband asked for it”
“And why don’t you inform me about it?”
“I thought you knew about it… Is there any problem?”
Doctor James asked.
“Well, am not pleased with the results and am very sure Alex is not the father of my baby”
Lauren replied.
Doctor James smiles.

~(Lauren’s residence)~
“Thank God you are fine now”
Alex said as he helped Lauren walk in. Ellie followed behind her holding a bag.
“Thanks, I will be in my bedroom now”
Lauren said and walked slowly towards her bedroom.
Ellie wanted to follow Lauren to the bedroom but Alex stopped her.
“Don’t worry… Let me have the bag, you can be on your way now”
Alex said.
Ellie looked at him.
“Okay?? I will head out now.
Take care of Lauren”
“I will…
Alex smile… Ellie grabbed her handbag and walked to the door. She looked back again.
“Hope you are not planning something bad with Lauren?
Ellie suspects something is wrong when it seems Alex wants her out of the house immediately.
Alex smile.
“No, am not…
I just want some alone time with Lauren”
He replied.
“She is my wife, remember?”
“You two are in a fake relationship, I remember”
Ellie said.
“In fact, am staying… I don’t trust you, I can’t let anything happen to my friend”
She changed her mind. She tossed her bag on the couch and sat down.
“Okay, fine…
Suit yourself then.
Maybe you also need to be here when am discussing with Lauren.
We might need your contribution and suggestions”
Alex said.
“And what discussion is that?”
Ellie asked. Baby cries were heard.
“Hrmm.. I think am going to attend to my son”
He said and walked away.
“Your adopted son, please”
Ellie shouted. Her mind went back to what Doctor James said to Lauren.
“Let’s accept the DNA result for now”
No one seemed to understand his words when he said that.
