'Sir? You're Mr Henry? Henry Morgan?'.
'I don't like repeating words'.
'Yes of course sir, I am so sorry, I just didn't expect it to be you sir. You're welcome sir, please come inside'.
'Come inside? Do you think I'm in the mood to come inside right now'. Doctor David remained silent, he knew he was in trouble.
'Come with me'. Henry went back into the car and Doctor David followed him, then he drove off.
The car stopped at a hotel and Henry went in with his men and the doctor.
'Wow sir, I can't even find anyone here. Did you buy the place sir?'
'Yes I did'.
'Wow. But why buy the place sir when you don't come here often'.
'I bought it specially for you'.
'Specially for me?'.
'Yes'.
The atmosphere became weird and Doctor D felt something was off but before he could do anything, Henry's bodyguards had grabbed him.
'Sir! What's going on?'.
'Well, you're about to find out'.
*** THE ANCESTRAL MANSION
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Isabelle and Alex stared at each other, who could it be this early morning?
Isabelle stood up to open the door, it was Margaret.
'I can't believe you're still sleeping at this hour. What time do you make breakfast for Alex? Does he normally wait for you like this every morning?'.
'Good Morning, Mrs Margaret'.
'There's nothing good about the morning Rhea. Wait till father hear about how you've been treating Alex despite his condition'.
'What condition?'.
Alex finally came out of the room. Margaret wasn't expecting Alex to come out.
'Well Alex, I was just telling her to be careful next time. She shouldn't be so ignorant when it comes to taking care of you'.
'Did I marry her just so that she can take care of me?'.
'No'.
'So please, stop disturbing my wife so early in the morning, she still needs rest'.
'But Alex, she has to learn how to be a good wife to you and a good mother in the future'.
'Wow, I don't remember you being this caring. Be a good mother? Says someone who was willing to abandon a nine years old in the forest all for her selfish interests'.
'Alex, please calm down'.
'I am'.
'I'll just leave'. Margaret left with with an evident anger in her face.
Isabelle was still stunned with all that happened.
*Alex looked so much like a hero just now*
'You're drooling Rhea'.
'Huh?'. Isabelle was surprised to see who just spoke.
'Mother in-law?'.
Alex also turned in surprise, 'Mom?'.
Charlotte went inside with a stunned Isabelle.
'Mom, why are you here?'.
'I'm not here for you Alex, I'm here for Rhea so don't question me'.
'Mother in-law, I didn't expect you to come here. Are you going to stay?'.
'Yes. I'll be here for a week'.
'That's good mother in-law. It's good that you're here now'.
'I couldn't resist coming here after everything you told me last night'.
'You called mom last night? What did you two talk about?'.
'Well...
***FLASHBACK (THE PREVIOUS NIGHT)
'Hello? Mother in-law? Can I talk to you for a while?'.
'Of course dear, is there a problem?'.
'Well mother in law, today, Mrs Margaret was talking about some Emily being Alex's secretary before I was but Alex won't tell me anything about her and now, I overheard Mrs Margaret and her daughter planning on bringing Emily back'.
'Oh dear, I completely forgot about Emily. She was Alex's secretary and the old man wanted to get her married to Alex because he thought it would be good for the family but Alex didn't like her and that's why he left the ancestral mansion. Emily left with her family after their engagement was called off'.
'They even got engaged? Alex didn't tell me all these'.
'It's okay dear, you don't need to feel insecure. There was no love between them'.
'Mrs Margaret said Emily loved Alex, mother in-law, how are you sure that Alex didn't like her as well?'.
'Alex don't like her because Alex loves so.....'
'What did you say mother in-law?'.
'Listen, you don't have to worry about that. I'll come to the ancestral mansion soon'.
'Really? You don't need to mother in-law, I'll be fine'.
'Alright dear, bye'.
'Bye! mother in-law'.
***BACK TO THE PRESENT
'What exactly did you two talk about?'.
'You don't need to know, it's between a mother and daughter'.
'Alright then'.
Charlotte sat down with Isabelle to talk but then Olivia rushed inside.
'Olivia, why do you look so pale?'.
'Madam, sir has found out that you're here. He wants to see you'.
'But how did he find out? I made sure to be very careful and extra sneaky'.
'Miss Nora saw you sneaking in and went to tell Sir'.
'That little snitch!'.
'Why did you sneak in mother in-law? Grandfather would eventually find out right?'.
'Yes but I wanted to meet you first'.
Charlotte had no choice but to go. Alex and Isabelle followed her.
Everyone was already present and Margaret had nothing but ridicule in her eyes for Charlotte.
'Charlotte! Why are you here and that too, without informing anyone'.
'I'm sorry Father, I was just too excited to come and see my son's wife. I heard he got married'.
'Are you happy that they got married without our knowledge?'.
'The matter is beyond our control Father, I can't do anything now that they're married'.
'Okay but I still don't consider it as a real wedding and that's why I'm going to arrange a real marriage for them at the right time'.
Isabelle was alarmed, after all their marriage was fake'.
'If that's your decision father, I can't do anything about it'.
'Good, now tell me what you've been up to these days'.
'What else would she be doing Father? Of course she was looking for her lost husband even after everything he made her go through'.
It was Margaret that spoke and this made Charlotte Livid.
'You really need to learn how to be quiet Margaret'.
'Did you just call me by my name?'.
'Yeah, what will you do?'.
'Silence!'. The old man was fuming.
'Margaret, don't you dare interrupt me again!'.
'I'm sorry Father'.
'And you Charlotte! Why are you still looking for that insolent boy who didn't care about his family?!'.
'He's still the father of my children if not my husband. I can't just give up now. It wasn't his fault that he acted like that in the past, we all know why he did that'.
The old man became silent. Yes, he was the reason why his son left the house. Why was he taking it out on everyone?
'You're right. I am the reason for all these'.
'No father, that's not what I meant..'.
The old man left immediately.
'Look at what you've done now'. Margaret's husband was the one to talk.
Charlotte sighed wearily while Isabelle, unexpectedly followed the old man, surprising everyone.
'What is she trying to do?'.
***KAIRA AND ISHA
Kaira was searching the whole house for something with a worried look on her face.
'Kaira my dear, are you searching for something?'
'Yes auntie, it's a bracelet. You made it for me on my birthday and I never take it off but now I can't find it'.
'Oh yes, the bracelet I bought for you on your tenth birthday. It's okay if you can't find it, I'll get you another one from the same store'.
'Well actually, I didn't lose the bracelet. It's right here'.
'Huh? But you said...
'I lied. Just like you have been lying to me all these days'.
'What?'
'Yes, you have been lying. You're not my auntie Isha. Tell me the truth right now or else, I'll call the police'.
'Wait no, I.....I am Isha but the truth is that I didn't lose my memories'.
'What?!!".
