It's another day.
Bryan walks out of the court with this symbol face, with his tour always tagging him.
"It's all going to be ok." Abi who was there and heard of all accusations tried to make the situation look pretty, but it was not.
"I'm free," Bryan responded as Mrs Yumaa came along asking how he felt.
A real good and experienced advocate had stood up for Bryan, and as supposed, Bryan was realised free of all accusations. Anyone who would ever dare, or in any way threaten Bryan or speak of this judgement, would have to face the music. The magistrate had declared the case closed.
"Hao Ge, what's he going to say?" Bryan found himself asking Mrs Yumaa about his thoughts. He knew Hao Ge might not take it easy, Prince Ge was like his brother.
"I will speak with him, dear." Mrs Yumaa responded as she tried to bring on a new topic.
Being a Gindi was cool, but again risky. Now Bryan was free from the public eye but his own life was in danger. If Hao Ge decided to take revenge, nothing would stop him.
"Have you heard of him?" Bryan asked after some silence.
"Who?.. Hao Ge?" Mrs Yumaa confirmed before lowering her voice. "Not yet."
Her husband too had gone missing the very same night. Xie Yu who had been there and back that night was not spitting any useful words.
"At this point, Mrs Yumaa even felt the need to beat Xie Yu up, tie her to a chair a whole night with no food." How was she going to keep listening to Xie Yu's pretence all day long as the latter kept cursing the police?
Even under Joe Ken's instructions, the police, who had been bestowed the duty to protect Hao Ge, had failed and instead helped an outside party succeeds in taking the body away.
It was a shame and despise full thing for the neighbourhood to hear of. Who would trust the highland police? Now even the media had eyes on this case as the OCPD was forced to arrest the police who failed to accomplish the mission.
"Don't worry about Hao Ge." Mrs Yumaa opened the door to the van and she let the three get in the back seats. She had to drive back and search for Joe Ken. Xie Yu had left earlier this morning for the Moonsun in Isiolo so no one was home at this risky hour.
It was almost noon the time arrived. The sun was high in a sky filled with partially huge dark cotton clouds. This time of the day was usually quite hot but for Bryan and his entourage, it was just cool.
For the first time, Bryan had escaped jail. His heartbeat had tripled and to now, he still felt itchy with the case.
"I need to rest." Bryan's first thing to say once they got out of the mansion said.
"Me too... Ah, I'm so tired." Mae followed behind yawning on the way.
"Aren't you leaving?" Mrs Yumaa who realised Abi was not left all alone asked. It was such a pitiful sight.
"No. I will do something else." Abi decided. Deep down she knew she was broke, at this point she felt helpless. Was this because of her evilness before she met Mr Love? She wondered as she sought refuge in the kitchen.
Marcos should be here anytime from now. Abi approximately guessed. The last day she met Marcos was the day she had left to pick up some of her clothes from their Home.
She had willingly moved into the Gindi. Mae too had long brought pairs of her queenish dresses ages ago even before knowing.
'I'm going to leave Mae to have him this whole evening.' Abi who washed the dishes concluded as she saw Mae joyful run up the stairs after fetching a bottle of water from the living fridge.
She was not going to let go, whatever was, let it be. I will date Bryan too!
Up the room, Bryan switched on the tv and there was this animation bout Baby boss ongoing.
"What?" He wondered as Mae walked out of the room.
To her,? Mae had tried all she could to have Bryan drugged. But mysteriously, Bryan had voided her all time long.
She had just one last chance, if she failed this now, she won't ever make it.
Accepting Xie Yu's words, Mae had thought of just a way to get Bryan under the spell. It was never easy taming Bryan.
"I will be back." "Mae promised as she ran downstairs. The thought of getting Bryan, drugged was already out of her head.
*****
Xie Yu sat quietly in the room.
This company had been operating all well in Bryan's absence. She needed to do some changes so it won't be easy for Bryan.
She had made a private call to her three men to report to her too. There was a need to silence some more people who had started casting suspicious eyes on her.
" Siva!"
Xie Yu shouts as she now walked out. The man called Siva was currently the head in action.
"You have been doing a great job. I must appreciate." Xie Yu who met Siva praised her and sipped a tip for him.
The three well-built men had long arrived, not wasting time as they rushed through the company to meet Xie Yu.
Siva eyed the foreign men and almost shivered. Something about them was icy, why do I sense I have met these three before?
It was obvious, that the three had executed Miss Old Gindi right in front of Siva's eyes. Looking straight into the eyes of one of them, he felt drawn in.
"Siva!" Xie Yu tapped the shoulder of the lost-looking fellow.
"Yes. Miss..." Siva replied as he realised he did start making up a story he knew nothing about.
"I'm going back, see you tomorrow." Xie Yu smiled as she walked in between her men back, out for a lift back to the highland.
She had to make these three kill Bryan by themselves, Abi and Mae too if need be. No one was going to get in her path of prosperity!
Now the car drove her back silently as the men listened to her wish.
"Alright, ma'am." It was a mission accepted as now the highland police came into view.
Whatever disturbed Xie Yu at the moment was the last words she heard from Mr Gindi.
"He is like a brother to you." This had been the late Gindi's farewell of all time. Now that she just remembered, she felt pain soar in instead.
"He is not my brother." Xie Yu gritted her teeth hard as she counted her fingers. It was almost time the whole world mourned for Bryan.
*****
Mrs Yumaa hummed softly as she got tired of studying Abi. She had just thought of her late boss, Gindi. A secret she had well hidden from Bryan and Xie Yu, should I open up and let Bryan know Xie Yu had always been his sister?
She was hesitant to do the right thing since she had vowed never to expose the relationship between Xie Yu and Bryan.
Mrs Yumaa had not just got surprised about Bryan's harem, but the fact that the boy was just like his father.
Mr Gindi too had two wives with a child each. It had been a pity that Xie Yu had been living with her mother who divorced Mr Gindi for another businessman.
Maybe Bryan won't lose one of his too. History should never repeat itself.
'I will break the silence one day when both are present.' Mrs Yumaa decided. She had this feeling now, she had to call the inspector, Joe Ken, to inquire about her husband.
"Inspector?" Mrs Yumaa who had Joe Ken's private line connected confirmed.
"I will be there in no less than an hour." The voice of Mrs Yumaa was heard as she made for the station.
'Are these two in love?' Mae who saw Mrs Yumaa leave without a report wanted to ask Abi in the kitchen but Abi had long approached her and whispered.
"Lady Yumaa is abandoning her duty for a date."
"What!" Mae retorted. Did Abi just accuse Mrs Yumaa? In her opinion and reflection, Mrs Yumaa would never do such a thing, she had never left her duty for love, why would she now?
"What? It's obvious... Oh let me understand you... You still a child to see this." Abi strode back to the kitchen after hitting Mae with some underrating words.
"Abi! You dare belittle me!" Mae was not going to let herself be humiliated. She was still a princess, the daughter of the governor.
'Knock!'
Xie Yu arrived back at this hour. Mrs Yumaa who had prepared herself to leave had instead followed back. Xie Yu was also her suspect in the Gindi case, she better ignores her husband's disappearance but looks out for Bryan.
'He is safe.' Mrs Yumaa comforted herself as she sent a short message back to Joe Ken informing him of the situation.
*****
Bryan was flat on his bed when he heard the scream downstairs.
"Who was that!" He tensed as he tried to listen keenly. It had been a sudden scream that went silent as it happened.
"Mae? Abi?" He rushed out of his room as he remembered his cows were downstairs.
The voices of quarrels and a fight about to break were audible as he turned the corner and made for the stairs.
"What's wrong!" Bryan shouted as he saw the commotion downstairs.
