< HOSPITAL PARKING LOT >
They both turn only to see an unknown man watching the both of them.
He was dressed in a black tattered trouser and ugly looking shirt and what’s worse, he had his body decorated with tattoos.
He looked dangerous and Chloe knew that people like them are only trying to stir up trouble, she was about telling Bryan to ignore him but she was too late.
“Why don’t you mind your business and f-__-k off ” Bryan said while the tattoo guy Snicker in return.
“Is that a way to talk to some one older than you?” The tattoo guy asked.
“What other way do you want me to talk, can’t you see we are having a discussion here? Shouldn’t you mind your darn business!” Bryan replied angering him.
“Hey, you will worsen things. So just shut….”
“Have heard that M&M students are all spoilt kids but have never come across one but today I have and you’ve shown me that what people say are true, so you won’t mind if I teach you a little bit lesson ” the tattoo guy said which got Chloe scared.
“And what are you going to do? What do you intend to do all alone!” Bryan asked provoking him further.
Just then a van arrived just a few distance away and four men got out of it, all having tattoo with the guy in front of them.
“What do you think? Am I still alone?” He asked which got Bryan gulping down his spit.
“I told you to shut up” Chloe murmured to Bryan who was now moving back bit by bit.
“You should have done it sooner but it’s late now and if you love your self then I suggest you run! ” he said even as he turned to leave.
“Bryan, I can’t run! ” she said reminding him of her injured foot.
She thought he was gonna leave her but he surprised her by coming back and crouching in front of her, he pulled her on his back.
Chloe held onto his neck while also wrapping her legs around him before he began running with her on his back while the tattoo men followed suit.
He kept running until they got to a building where he deftly hid them both out of sight and when he was sure the tattoo men were gone, he finally let her down.
“We could have avoided them you know” she said as they slowly made their way back to the parking lot where luckily the men were no where to be seen.
“People like those men tend to act strong if they are in group, if he was alone, I could have face him” Bryan replied which got her starring at him.
“I doubt that, you were a sissy back there” Chloe replied.
“Wh@ťěver” he said getting on his bike.
“So you are giving me your word that you won’t say a thing ?” She asked and he paused on wearing his helmet to stare at her.
“Still on that?”
“Yes. Like I said it’s important to me and…..”
“Are you doing this for the money? Cause am sure you can’t be doing this without getting any thing in return” he said which made her angry.
“You jerk! Money might be every thing to you rich kids but it isn’t to some people. I meant what I said and even if you don’t help me, I will still keep on pretending to be her!” She yelled at him before turning to leave.
Bryan let out a sigh noticing that she was still limping on her injured leg, if she keeps on limping on it then it will get worse.
“Let me give you a lift home” he offered even before he could stop him self.
“No! I would rather take the bus than to accept your offer” she yelled again and continued her journey.
Bryan got off his bike and went to her lifting the startled Chloe in his arms bridal style.
“What are you doing!” She yelled at him.
“I don’t want to have your death on my conscience ” he replied heading back to his bike.
Unknown to them both, Leo stood some distance away watching the both of them.

< VALERIE’S HOME >
Bryan stopped his bike in front of Valerie’s home and as gently as she could, she got off, pulling her helmet off.
“Here and thanks” she said off handedly still angry at his insinuations from earlier.
“Are you expecting him?” Bryan asked in return.
“Who?”
“Leo, that’s his car” Bryan said starring at a black and white Mercedes.
“Am not expecting him and I don’t think he’s here to see me but Stephanie. Good bye” she replied going in.
Bryan didn’t know why but he had a weird feeling about Leo being around but it’s none of his business,he shrug it off before starting his bike.
Chloe got in only for a maid to approach her.
“Is Carmen back?” Chloe asked.
“She’s not and besides your fiance is here” the maid replied.
“Isn’t he with Stephanie?” Chloe asked.
“Miss Stephanie left the house before he arrived”
“That’s strange, Why is he still here then?” She murmured to herself.
“He’s waiting in your room though I told him you wouldn’t like it but he insisted saying he is your fiance” the maid informed and that got her rushing up the stairs even though her foot hurt.
She got to her room only to see Leo starring at Valerie’s picture.
“What are you doing here!” She yelled at him shutting the door.
“I came to see you” he replied.
“I don’t think we have anything to talk about, so I suggest you get out of my room. Stephanie’s room is just two doors away” she added the last part to spite him.
“In the past you would have given any thing to have me in the same room with you but that’s not the case now” taking his eyes off the picture, Leo turned his gaze on her.
“Am glad you know and so it’s best if you leave……”
“What’s going on between you and Bryan?” He asked cutting her off.
“Do you tell me what goes on between you and Stephanie?” She asked in return, folding her arms on her chest.
“I think have been going too easy on you ever since you returned” he said walking towards her with an angry look on his face.
