Nana stood in front of the grand building and had a good look at it before walking into L.P Electronic company to see Bianca. She was going to New York that day to start a new life. She wants to start afresh without Wyatts in her life.
"Hi", Bianca hugged her as soon as she saw her in the corridor.
"Hey", Nana returned the warm hug.
"How's your wound? I guess you don't scream in pain whenever they're changing the bandage", Bianca teased her.
"That's mean", Nana laughed. "It's better though. I don't feel any pain because I'm a big girl", She added.
"You could have told me that you were coming though. I would have picked you up", Bianca pouted.
"I wasn't the driver of the cab. I don't even own the damn cab but then I would have missed my flight", Nana chuckled.
"What do you mean? Where are you going to?", Bianca asked.
"I'm starting a new life, B. I divorced Wyatts", Nana said confidently even though she didn't sound so happy.
Bianca didn't say anything for a while and Nana began to think if she really got the best advice from her friend.
"Congratulations my love!!", Bianca hugged her with a bubbling reaction after a while. She was not happy every time a jerk like Wyatts was reported to her many times by Nana.
She was helpless and stuck in a loveless marriage. She was more mad when he made her lose the baby just from a push down the stairs. He said it was a mistake but that mistake endangered Nana's life in the process.
"So, any pretty boy in your life now?", Bianca changed the topic.
"I know what you're doing", Nana laughed.
"He'll soon be here to take me to New York", Nana blushed like a high schooler.
"Jesse's a really nice guy", Bianca said with a smile. Jesse was the guy that wanted to go to New York with Nana to start a new life.
According to Nana, they were high school colleagues andhe followed her to the same university because he loved her.
"That's strong love", That was the first word that came out of Bianca's mouth when Nana narrated the entire story to her.
"Are you sure about settling down with him?", Bianca wanted to make sure so she wouldn't make the same mistake.
"I think so", Nana smiled. That would be the first step if she really wants to start a fresh and new life. She has to take everything with every bit of possiblity. It would work if she thinks it would be possible.
"Since, you've refused to go to a decent restaurant, Nana, let's go to the cafeteria on the fourth floor", Bianca said excitedly.
"That wouldn't hurt", Nana said.
"No", Bianca said.
"Why?", Nana knew she was not done.
"Because the cafeteria's name is not a human named Wyatts", Bianca replied and that made Nana laugh. She allowed Bianca to drag her to the company's cafeteria.
·Bennetts' Residence ·
Bebe met her parents eating dinner by the time she was home. She wss glad they were in a happy mood because what she wanted to say was a big piece of information and she doesn't care about Rhys' threat even though she knew he wasn't bluffing.
"Does it have to be over dinner, darling?", Her mother asked when she looked all serious.
"Why not? Trust me mom, there's no better time than this", Bebe replied
"We have a guest", Her mother smiled and waved her hand to Rebecca. She was coming out of the kitchen with a jug of orange juice in her hand.
"It would be best to say it now especially when we have our guest to listen with her two ears that aren't probably working", Bebe made emphasis on the word 'guest' with hatred in her eyes as she stared at Rebecca.
"Say what you have to say. The food is getting cold, Bebe", Bebe's father scolded her.
"First, I'd like to have the honor of being the first to congratulate you on becoming grandparents", Bebe smiled widely.
"What?", Her father stopped eating. He doesn't care if the food gets cold or not at this rate.
"You should have told me you have a baby. I wouldn't have set you up on those blind dates", Her mother apologized deeply.
"Not me, mom", Bebe was embarrassed for the mix-up.
"Rhys had a baby", Her parents asked in shock and total surprise.
"I think our guest is more interested in answering that question considering the fact that she had tried to kill the new family more than once now", Bee smirked as she saw the dark expression on her face.
"What do you mean by 'guest', Bebe?", Rebecca raised her brow.
She knew Bebe was crazy but she didn't know that Bebe would be crazy enough to bring out some details to ruin her night with her soon-to-be parents-in-law.
"What is she talking about, Rebecca?", Bebe's dad asked.
"Oh! That-I think it's true", Rebecca stammered.
"Not only is it true, idiot. You might also tell them it was true that you tried to kill the mother of his child, Rafael", Bebe smirked.
"Rafael?", Bebe's dad asked. He always loved male children and now that someone tried to hurt one of his kinds irks him to all ends.
"Yes, dad. His child is a cute boy named Rafael. You both look shocked", Bebe gasped. "Oh no! Don't tell me my adorable little brother never bothered to tell you he actually has a child and maybe a girlfriend for now", Bebe said.
"You mean baby mama", Rebecca laughed.
Bebe walked up to Rebecca and looked her straight in the eye before talking sternly, "What you want to say is irrelevant, Rebecca. To us, most especially me, you're more of a side sick than of a legal mother that Bianca Anderson is but that won't matter anymore"
"What do you mean?", Rebecca asked.
"According to Sarah Forbes-"
"Oh wait! You can never know her because she doesn't want to know you too. In African, there's a cloth called wrapper that could to make clothes. So, let's say you're that wrapper that everyone needs to get in a party but is cheap, ugly, dirty and faded. What will happen?"
"Everyone will get a wrapper that's expensive and beautiful", Rebecca completed the adage.
"Bingo!", Bebe looked impressed.
"Unfortunately, you're that cheap wrapper and we know who the expensive one is. Rhys' gonna dispose you and keep Bianca with her forever because she's not…faded, ugly, cheap, dirty and- ah! I forgot the last part. She's not a MURDERER!", Bebe whispered into her ears while Rebecca widened her eyes in horror.
Rebecca could not say anything than to stare at Bebe with hatred and annoyance.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?", Bebe laughed.
Bebe's dad stood up and asked with a straight face, "Now, Bebe, tell me where I can find this Bianca Anderson in the next 48 hours. And Rebecca, I want you out if my house now or later"
"No father, I can explain", Rebecca knelt down immediately she heard that.
"You should be on your way, Rebecca. It's late", Bebe's mom said and also stood up.
"What? Mother!!", Rebecca almost yelled at Bebe's mother because it felt so real for some minutes.
Of course, Bebe's parents were supposed to believe her even though she was telling a lie to them. But now, it was the truth and the distance among was growing slowly.
And it would be grow into something very big if she doesn't handle it on time. The hatred would spread to every family if the information goes round the family starting from the parents.
And she knows what she has to do to stop that information from going round the family - death. And the person that has to die would be Bianca Anderson.

Rhys got out of his car with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He was very nervous and took out his phone to call Bianca but she wasn't picking up his call. He waited for a few minutes and thought of entering the company to pick her up.
"No", He muttered under his breath because he couldn't be less proud.
Even though no one might recognize him with the mask and the way he ruffled his hair, he couldn't accept the fact that there was no way a rumor won't start about her the next day.
He waited for another round of fifteen minutes after calling her till eternity. She came out with a guy that was obviously into her. Suddenly, rain began to fall so heavily that she would be fully drenched if he was a minute later.
"I'm her-"
"Oh! I didn't know she had a boyfriend. Sorry man. Goodnight", The guy apologized and ran off to seek shelter.
Bianca arched her brow when she realized it was Rhys in front of her.
"What's wrong? Employee ditched you", Bianca knew he had a smirk hidden on his face because of the mask.
"What are you doing here?", Rhys heard Bianca ask.
"Can't you see?", Rhys smiled and hugged her tightly. "I'm picking up my woman", He continued to hug her.
"Oh please", Bianca pushed him away.
"There's no way I'm getting into your car because Axel is on his way", Bianca hissed.
Rhys looked at the stubborn woman in front if him and smiled, "Then, I should just kidnap you and run away"
The next thing Bianca knew was that she was carried in a bridal style by him into his car. He was super quick because she was locked in case she bothered in coming out.
"What do you think you're doing, Rhys?", Bianca yelled.
"I look that angry look on your face. It makes you look hot…er", He smiled and removed the mask off his face.
"Do you know I hate you?", Bianca asked him.
"I know love. And I love you too", Rhys sped off and asked as soon as he realized, "And why the hell is Luca making you close by nine? Does he know you're my woman?"
Bianca rolled her eyes at her statement and refused to reply. Instead, she was trying Axel's line to let him know he shouldn't come to pick her up anymore.
"You dare call another guy when you're with me?", Rhys asked.
"Shut up", Bianca rolled her eyes.
"Do you know who was involved in our accident?", Rhys' face turned all serious.
"What do you mean by involved? It was a natural disaster unless you've been a supernatural creature all along to figure out a loophole in nature", Bianca laughed.
Rhys watched her laugh and didn't want to spoil the mood by telling her Rebecca was behind her car accident. He knew she might try to retaliate if Bianca gets to know the truth - putting her baby in danger.
"I got you flowers", He passed the flowers to her.
"I don't like flowers", Bianca liked.
"What do you like then?", Rhys asked feeling disappointed with himself.
"Me", Bianca laughed and he joined in the laughter.
"Funny way of telling me you dislike me with passion. Anyways, how was your first day, sweetheart?", Rhys' flirty tone was back on and Bianca had to plug in her earpiece to stop listening to his annoying voice.
Rhys looked at her and stopped talking when he realized that he was just talking at the wrong time. Instead, he took a liking to staring at her pretty face and placing his hand on her to assure her if one thing - he would always be there for her.
