Michelle finally remembered what she had forgotten all this months. Grace was in prison.
She could bear to meet Judith's gaze so she looked away guilty.
"My dear,I know Grace has wronged you but by now she would have learnt her lesson. Please forgive her",with that Judith fell on her knees before Michelle.
"No no no,please get up I will have Michelle released now. Please just get up you are my elder.",Michelle broke into tears the person before her was like a mother to her yet she sent her only daughter to jail.
Michelle was so disappointed in herself that she almost laughed with regret.
"Thank you,thanks a lot my daughter", she began thanking her with years in her eyes.
Michelle couldn't bear it anymore so she ran into the house.
Henry witnessed it all and smiled to himself. 'Even though she seems tough she is still very soft on the insides,she hasn't changed at all'.
He waited till she went in before he stepped on the gas.
Michelle waited for Lucas patiently, every minute was like needles pinching her skin.
As soon as she caught sight of him she ran to ask the favour without letting him settle down.
"Lucas you have to release Grace and Beatrice am sure they learnt their lesson. Please",she begged crying.
"Why do you suddenly want that",he asked coldly.
"I saw her mother today. Michelle and I were childhood friends and her mother was like mine,seeing her cry because of me made my heart shatter",she said subconsciously.
"Consider it done if you can do this in return for me",he said and smiled kidding in his eyes.
"I will do anything just name it",she replied immediately.
"You just have to forget the breakup. Don't let it affect our friendship we can continue behaving like we used to",he said with utmost sincerity Michelle almost cried.
"Sure thing",she said and flashed him a smile.
Lucas returned the smile and pecked her on the forehead. "Good night then"
"Uhn,yes yes good night",she said her heart still racing form the peck.
Lucas almost laughed because of her childish attitude but kept a straight face.
The following day.....
Lucas did release Grace and Michelle, he even so generously allowed Serena to continue acting.
All three of them was absent the that day and everything went smoothly.
The day was too peaceful if seemed like the calm before the storm.
"I had to suffer like this for a whole month all because of that whore Michelle",Beatrice was fuming.
Beatrice and Serena were discussing in a renowned bar. Grace was grounded but the since Beatrice family was to busy trying to rebuild their legacy she could do however she pleases,so..
"Yes,I also went down the hills in my career all because of her. We are going to make her pay but now isn't the right time",Serena said like she was planning something big.
"OK,what whatever you say",Beatrice agreed boiling with hatred for Michelle.
