Ryan packed his car and alighted from the car. He walked to get the door for Violet and she from the car too
They were at the amusement park.
” Wow.. it’s beautiful..” Violet exclaimed
” I got tickets for us already ” he said, taking her to the merry-go-round
They both entered and in minutes, it started moving
They sat opposite each other enjoying the view until it came to an halt at it’s highest peak
” We’re at the highest peak. Make a wish, I heard they do come to pass..” Ryan said
” Really?” Violet asked and he nodded. She smiled before closing her eyes to make her wish and he did same.
” What did you wish for?” Violet asked, when it started moving again
” It’s a secret.. ” he smiled and she pouted sadly
” I wished we should keep loving each other as we do now..” she sighed
” You are not to say it out loud else it wouldn’t come to pass” he said and she gasped
” Really? How should I do now? Should I make another wish?” She asked but he chuckled before nodding
” Yeah, make another” he nodded still smiling and she quickly closed her eyes to make another wish.
” She’s so cute.. ” he muttered still staring at her as she did her thing

Mara kept pacing from one end of her room to another. Her parents weren’t home just her and the maids, her parents went for a meeting
” Are they still together? Why is Joe not giving me any feedback?” She sighed taking her phone. She exclaimed when she saw missed calls from Claire
” She must have missed me..” she exhaled before calling her back
? Hey, sorry I couldn’t pick up. I was in a middle of something important.. Mara said
? It’s okay, I know you will be busy and won’t be coming to the hostel.. Claire sigh
? Did something happen? You don’t sound like your normal self.. Mara said sitting on her bed
? We will talk when you come. Goodnight, I want to sleep.. Claire said
? Alright @zzhole, goodnight.. Mara replied and ended the call.
Claire sigh before dropping her phone. She entered the bathroom for a warm bath. She didn’t get herself at all and it’s driving her cr@zy.
She was done minutes later before slumping on her bed. She Drew her pillow tightly to herself waiting for sleep and also trying thoughts off her head

∆ LI’S MANSION
Xue Walked into the house and met Leyan seated. She didn’t even bother to look at his direction cause she knew it was her husband
” Honey, I’m home.. he announced but she didn’t even reply to his greetings. She stood on her feet and made to leave when he held her back
” I’m still your husband Leyan.. ” he said holding her both shoulder with his two hands
” You’re not the man I married. The one I see you is just too selfish and greedy” she said releasing herself from her husband’s grip
” Aren’t you tired? Firstly you made it look Ryan ki||ed Lishu, you turn him to something else, to a loner, even me, his mother abandoned him when he needed me”
” Now, he’s somehow friendly and a bit happy, do you really want to see him suffer all his life? Isn’t it enough? Isn’t it?” She yelled
” I….
” You can’t convince me if you still wanna keep up with the marriage Li Xue… ” She said and walked out on her husband. Xue sigh, staring at her direction until she entered the room, shutting the door in a loud bang.
He breathe out before heading to their bed room. Leyan hasn’t been sleeping there for days now. He wasn’t happy but he still need to do what needed to be done

” I had fun.. ” Violet said smiling broadly
” I’m glad we had fun..” Ryan smiled back
” Let’s go home, I need to prepare for tommorow exams..” she said and he nodded as they headed to their car
They both entered and Ryan drove off to her home. Minutes later, they got there and they both alighted from the car
” You should go in ” he said
” Nah, you should go home first, I’m in my neighborhood ” she said and he nodded. He pulled her into a hug
” Take care of yourself okay?” He said planting a kiss on her lips
She nodded and he waved at her as he walked back to his car
” Bye..” she waved as she watched him drive out of sight. She smiled and made to Walk her way towards her house when two men with mask stood in front of her
” Who are you?” She asked but the unknown men brought out knives.
The Black car which have been following them parked a distance away from her
” Who are those people?” One guys in the car asked
” It seems weren’t the only ones who wants her dead.. let’s go, let’s not cause any trouble..” Their leader replied and they reverse their car
? SHE’S BEEN ATTACKED ALREADY BY UNKNOWN MEN. THEY’RE FIVE IN NUMBER..
The leader said and immediately, Xue viewed the message
” Who could also want her dead?” He wondered
” It’s a good thing then..” he smirked dropping his phone
” Who are you guys?” Violet asked the guys infront of her and she took few steps together
She turned back and three other people appeared behind her
They were now five masked people surrounding her with each of the holding a dagger
” We only want your head ” One of them laugh and raised his dagger to stab her but suddenly, someone in all black and a mask stopped the dagger with her own dagger
