Georgia stood transfixed as she stared at the photo in her hand
She was so shocked that her head hurt
Who on earth took these pictures?
How did they get to Raymond?
These unanswered questions kept whirling in her head
How was she going to explain this?
In the picture, a man and a woman was entangled under the sheets
Though because of the position of the camera, the man's face was not visible but the woman's face was purely seen
That woman was no other but Georgia
"Oh my God, I knew it and I said it, I knew she would be nothing but shame to the Sterlings"
Susan dramatically clutched her heart as if pained
"I can't believe this Georgia, I can't believe you'll stoop so low, you're just like your mother!
Mr Sterling spat acidly
Georgia couldn't believe her ears nor her eyes
As long as she could remember,her mother has always been a supportive wife to her father
Though the wealth the Sterlings brag about is all her mother's inheritance from her father and her sweat, she didn't let all those get into her head
She was a doting mother and wife but her husband never treated her well
He only cared about her wealth
Georgia wouldn't forget the night her mother dīed
It was a rainy night accompanied with thunderstorm
She tried calling her dad severally but he didn't pick
Till her mother's death, her husband had never been good to her
Georgia knew her mom would have left her dad but couldn't because of her
Georgia ignored her father's comment and focused all her attention to Raymond
He is the only person she owes an explanation not even her family
She was pained to see the hate in his eyes
"What's going on here? A sweet voice rang out
It was Ariana
She walked in feigning confusion
Their plan was,she coming in after Raymond must have arrived to avoid looking suspicious
Walking close to them, Ariana turned to her Dad
"What's wrong Dad?
She asked sweetly
Her dad only looked at her and sighed sitting down on the sofa
Ariana looked at Georgia and gapsed
"Sister what happened to you? Your cheek is red,why is brother Raymond angry?" she asked with concern
Georgia mentally rolled her eyes at Ariana's pretense
"Ari please don't be deceived by her appearance so you won't be infected by her waywardness"
That was Susan talking
Ariana bent down slowly picking one of the photos that were littered around Georgia
"Oh my goodness, sister you aren't the one in the photo right? Please tell me you aren't"
Ariana said shocked with tears starting to roll
Mr Sterling watched Ariana with admiration
Ariana is such a soft and kind-hearted girl absolutely different from her sister, why can't Georgia learn from her?!
He thought bitterly
"Of course she's the one who else could it be?
Susan mocked
"Look Raymond, I can explain" Georgia said sincerely
"How can you explain these pictures when it clearly explains everything?!!!
Raymond boomed
"Someone set me up I swear, I don't know how it happened" Georgia cried
Susan burst out laughing
"How pathetic! That was the excuse you could come up with? Please try a more convincing one" Susan rolled her eyes
"I'm telling the truth! Georgia yelled at Susan
She faced Raymond.
"Ray look, after the text you sent me to meet you at ZURI HOTEL, I got there but couldn't find you, couldn't reach you, all of a sudden someone sneaked up behind me and I lost consciousness"
Georgia explained desperately trying to reach Raymond's hands but he stepped back as if she was a virus
"I didn't send you a text, what text are you talking about? Raymond asked bewildered
"No you did" Georgia said hastily dipping her hands in her bag to bring out her phone only to find it missing
"Where is the phone? Show us the text" Susan said
What bad luck followed me today?!
Georgia screamed frustratedly in her head
She had lost her phone, her only proof!
"Raymond look, I can't find it now but I promise you it was a setup, please believe me" Georgia pleaded
"So you're trying to say I set you up? Is that it Georgia, I really underestimated you, you're such a whore!
Georgia froze
'i really underestimated you, you're such a whore!
The words kept ringing in her ear
Raymond called me a whore? He called me a whore
He didn't believe me?
"Ray....." Before she could say a word, Raymond stomped out
"Sister brother Raymond is mad now but don't worry...
Ariana went to console Georgia
But Georgia pushed her away while Ariana staggered falling to the floor
"Don't act like this isn't what you want you vicious manipulator"
Georgia spat pissed
Susan rushed to her daughter to make sure she's okay
"How dear you shameless girl!
Susan screamed raising her hands to slap
Georgia but Georgia held her hands midway, glaring at Susan
"You are the only shameless woman here" she pushed Susan and Susan fell on the floor clutching her stomach and wailing "my baby oh no it hurts!
"Mother!!! Ariana shouted rushing to her mom
"Sister why did you push mom? She's pregnant!!
Georgia was petrified, she didn't even exert force, she just gave her a light jab which wasn't capable of making her fall
Before she could think of anything, her cheek stung so hard that caused a tear
Her Dad slapped her again
Mr Sterling rushed to Susan making sure she wasn't hurt
"You unfilial daughter, get out of this house and never return again, you're not my child!!! Mr Sterling spat
Georgia looked at them and walked away from the mansion, a place she once called home with tears in her eyes

ZURI HOTEL PARKING LOT
"Boss watch out! A pained voice boomed but it was too late
Dylan couldn't escape the flying bullet in time
It grazed his Palm and plunged into his chest
"Ambulance, call the ambulance!!
"Boss? Can you hear me? Stay with me"!
Dylan could hear distinct voices and shouts until he finally blacked out.

O'BRIEN CAFE
Georgia just sat down looking into space
All morning event came crashing in
She waking up in a strange bed with a strange man
She loosing her virginity
Her fiancee finding out about it and not believing her
Her father disowning her
What an eventful morning to start with
She sighed
The ding sound from her phone brought her back to earth
"Leah" Georgia acknowledged
If it was someone else calling, the call would have been ignored but this was her best friend
"Georgia pl-please help me" Leah's sobbing voice came from the other end
"Hey Leah, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
As long as she could remember, Leah has always been a cheerful lady that hardly shed tears, so her crying right now was a shocker
"Please can you come to DONOVAN HOSPITAL? It's urgent please"
Leah urged still sobbing
"What? Hospital?!!! I'll be right there!
Georgia immediately hung up, dropping cash on the table for the coffee she ordered
She ran out of the Cafe
★
DONOVAN HOSPITAL
Georgia came rushing to Leah who was sitting on a chair clutching her bent head
Leah noticing someone coming raised her head and burst into tears
"Georgia help me" she cried
Georgia held her in her arms stroking her hair in a soothing way
"What happened Leah?
"My brother is dying, he needs blood but there isn't any available at the moment, it's a rare blood type" Leah explained
"What? Ryan is dying?!! Georgia asked shocked
"No not Ryan, Dylan" Leah explained
while Georgia was bewildered, does Leah have another brother? She only know Ryan but nevertheless Georgia listened patiently trying to figure out how she could help in this situation
"Georgia, my brother have the same blood type as you, please help him I beg you" Leah pleaded
Georgia didn't think much on it
"Alright Leah, I'll help, take me to the doctor immediately" She urged
"Oh my God Georgia what would I do without you? Thank you thank you so much" Leah cried tears of relief
"It's Okay Leah, wipe your tears and snot"

RON'S LAIR
"It's done Sir"
"Was he confirmed dead? A man dressed in black stood facing the window, looking at the scenery
"Not yet Sir but" the man reporting couldn't finish his words when a bullet flew into his right arm
He widened his eyes in shock looking at his boss
"Your job was to kîll him at the spot!!
The boss boomed while the order man shuddered fearing his life
"You're of no use to me" the boss pointed the gun at him ready to pull the trigger when the door was clinged open
"No need to waste the bullet Ron" the intruder said indifferently sitting on the couch
He turned to the man whose arm was bleeding
"Why are you still here? Or do you really want to die? I could shoot you instead"
The man needn't to be told twice, he ran out of the room
"Why are you here Don?
Ron asked
"I just saved a man you were about to kîll"
Don answered
"Don't you see I'm pissed off? He couldn't even kill Dylan Donovan! Ron boomed
"Who says Dylan wouldn't die? He's already like a dead meat,he has a very rare blood type that would take two days to get, he would still die eventually"
Ron's face lit up a little bit when he heard his twin analysis
"You're right, hahahaha, good riddance Dylan" Ron Chuckled viciously
