Rosalie followed Tyler into his room. He plunked down on the bed and held his face in his hands. He groaned angrily.
Rosalie sighed and sat on the bed, next to him. She placed his hands on his back and rubbed slowly to comfort him.
“I just can’t believe Micheal would do that to me after knowing how I felt about her. I thought we were best friends.” Tyler said, his voice laced with anger.
“But he already explained why he did it. It’s obvious he loves her, so he took the chance when he saw it.” Rosalie defended.
“If he had told me how he felt about her in the furst place, I would have understood. But how could he plan behind my back with the one person I hated the most. What if he had actually set me up with her??” He asked again.
“But he didn’t. Look..” She placed her hands kn both sides of his cheek and turned him to face her.
“I’m sure he never wanted to be part of such plans in the first place. His love for her blinded him. He admitted he made some mistakes and he apologized for it, now it’s just your choice to forgive him. I’d advice that you do. Seeing how his supposed betrayal hurts you, I’m sure you really love him as a friend. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to loose him all because of a girl.” Rosalie said.
“I don’t.” Tyler answered honestly.
“Good.. Now, just let go of the anger in your heart and forgive him. He’s your best friend.”
“I will. Thank you so much Rosalie.” Tyler said and engulfed her in a tight hug.
“Anytime..” Rosalie muttered and returned the hug.
Mrs. Hermsworth smiled happily as she watched them engrossed in their moment. She decided not to disturb them so she left quietly.

“Janice, why don’t you just accept the fact that Tyler doesn’t love you. But I do, and I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you and our baby. Just tell me what you want and I’ll do it for you. But please, just stop this.” Micheal pleaded with her.
“You’ll really do anything for me??” Janice asked suddenly smiling.
“Uh yes. Anything.” Micheal replied, his voiced filled with uncertainty.
“Good, I want you to kidnap Mrs. Hermsworth for me.” Janice said.
“What????”
“What do you mean by that??” Micheal asked in shock.
“I meant every word I said. I want you to kidnap Mrs Hermsworth.” Janice repeated calmly.
“Are you even listening to yourself talk?? Why would you want to kidnap her??” Micheal asked again.
“She has humiliated me countless times. She was the one that first wanted me to get married to her son, now she wants to replace me and she even termed me a slut.” Janice complained.
“Why would you try to pin a child that isn’t his on him after knowing fully well that he never loved nor touched you??” He asked her.
“But we kissed onc…”
“That was because you threw yourself at him. You forced him into it. Besides, kissing isn’t something intimate. He might not even take it to heart like you are.” Micheal explained.
“Are you doing it or not??” Janice asked impatiently.
“I’m sorry but I can’t betray my best friend anymore. I’ve already hurt him already, I can’t do it again.” Micheal said.
“I figured. You’re just a coward. Don’t worry, I’ll just get rid lf this stupid baby in me and get the job done myself.” Janice said and made to leave again but was held back by Micheal.
“Where do you think you’re going??” Asked Micheal.
“Let go of me!!!” Janice tried really hard to wriggle out of his hold but he wouldn’t let her.
“Don’t you think you’re going too far?? Why are you trying to ruin your life and the life of our unborn baby all because of a love quest that won’t favour you?? Why can’t you just give into my sincere love for you. I’m ready to give you the life you want. Please just stay with me and I’ll take care of you and our baby. We can start a family of our own. Please, I’m begging you.” Micheal pleaded with her. He hoped she would change her mind.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
He prayed fervently in his mind so she would see reasons from his view but what was he expecting?? She was just too stubborn.
“Don’t you get it??? It’s Tyler I want not you. I only gave my body to you because we had a deal but you didn’t fulfil you own end of it so I’m leaving.” Janice said, eyeing him in disgust and tried again to release his hold on her but she still failed.
Her words hurt him badly but he tried his best not to show how painful it was to be rejected by someone he loved dearly.
“Okay, you made you decision and I won’t force you to be with me.” Micheal said.
“Good, now release me.” Janice said and tried to wriggle out of his hold again.
“You didn’t let me finish. As long as my baby is still in your womb, you won’t leave this house. You’ll stay here till you put to bed.” Micheal said leaving no room for arguement.
“What?? No way. There’s no way I’m staying here with you till I put to bed.” Janice said and struggled harder with him.
“You have no choice baby. I’m the father of that child and I won’t put him in jeopardy due to your recklessness.” Micheal said and held her but she wouldn’t stay still.
“I’m his mother and I say you have no right to do this to me. I refuse to spend even another second with you. Go to hell.” She screamed at his face and bit him hard on his shoulder.
“Argggh..” He screamed in pain and let go of her immediately.
Janice took the small chance of her freedom and made a run for it. She opened the gate and ran out of it.
Micheal ran after her and tried to hold her back but she was too fast that she didn’t notice an upcoming vehicle speeding towards her.
Before she could reach the other side of the road, she was knocked down by the vehicle. Micheal’s eyes widened in horror as he ran towards her unconscious and bloodied body.
“Janice…..” He cried out and he held her body around him.
