In the reception, Carey told Ashley everything that happened in the BM office
"Congratulations Carey on being our new branch manager" Ashley said
"Thank you, we should go out tonight" Carey retorted
"Umm... Okay" Ashley retorted in hesitation
"Okay I'll pick you up at fifth avenue at exactly 9pm sharp, be there okay" as she was about to leave, someone stopped her and said
"Umm Carey wait I have to tell you something"
"What do you want to tell me boss" she said as she walked to where Alexa was standing
"I'll be coming to the office tomorrow to announce that you are the new branch manager and I'll be coming everyday this week to check if everyone is doing their work properly, so I'll be using the office for a while" she said tiredly and then she walked out

Jane and William got into another fight
"William where have you been all day ?" She shouted as she followed him into the kitchen
"None of your business now just LEAVE ME ALONE!" He exclaimed as he went to get some water
"William have you been gambling again" she said but he ignored her
"William, ANSWER ME! Have you been gambling again?" She said this time raising the voice higher
"Yes I am but what's your business with that, uh!" He said as he went to the living room
"William don't walk away as I'm talking to you" she said as she followed him
William having had enough of her nagging moved close to her, she subconsciously started moving backwards until she hit the wall, William held her neck lifted her and started strangling her taking away every inch of life in her
"William please let me go" she said with any ounce of strength she had left
"Dad!" Someone screamed and immediately he let her go
It was Ashley who just got back from work just to meet this in front of her
"Mom!" She said as she ran towards her mam who was lying on the floor
"Mom, mom are you alright" she said as she helped her stand up, she looked at the man who did this as he left the house
Ashley took her mom too her room and asked
"Mom, what happened"
"Nothing dear" Jane retorted
"Mom are you sure, shouldn't we call the the police"
" It nothing dear, your dad was just angry, that's all" she lied

Meanwhile inside the club two figures are having a drink

"To calm my nerves"
"What did you and Alexa fight about now?"
"Ashley I need to use the restroom" Carey said as she excused herself
A few minutes had passed and CARE wasn't back yet so Ashley decided to go and look for her, she went to the restroom
"Ahh this place stinks" she said as she went through her bag and wore her facemask
"Carey are you in here," she said as she entered the restroom when she didn't see anyone she went out and continued her search

"But si.r..I mean Ashton weren't you on your way somewhere"
"That can wait let's go" before she could speak he dragged her outside
