At Liz room
Mr. Mark Bezos came inside with Liz's breakfast even though she has not to wake up, he dropped it on the small table near her bed, he was about to enter when Jay called then Mr. Mark Bezos took her phone and he saw the number saved as (mine) he picked it and listen to him, jay notice the person he was talking to was not saying anything, suddenly he had a familiar voice ( that was Mr. Mark Bezos) he told him not to call the number again or else will sue him for harassment, after the warning he hangs the call and took the phone out.
Light shone in Mr Mark Bezos's room, he took out the SMS in Liz's phone and flushed it inside the closet then put another one in her phone, he dropped her phone on the bed and took his phone then called Jay's father, he told him to warn his son for calling or going near her daughter or else he will sue him, when Mr Williams hung the call he called his son home and told him to stay away from Liz or else he will change his school that mean he is going to aboard to study.
Jay doesn't listen to his father and he continues calling Liz but is not reachable, he even thinks Liz has given up on him that imagination makes him sad, and thinking of her throughout the day.
After some hours Liz woke up and she found herself in her room, she tried to get up but was weak, without wasting time she looked for her phone but nowhere to be found and she called out for one of the maids but Katarina ( Angela younger sister) walk-in
" You are awake," she asked but Liz didn't reply
" What are you looking for in my room" she asked
" I had your voice then I came to check on you, my room was beside your room and you have been sleeping since yesterday " Katarina explained
" Who took my phone" she asked
" Maybe it's with your father because he has been with you since yesterday" Katarina explained
" Where is him now" Liz asked
" He went out, he is not around" Katarina replied
" I need to talk to Jay...." Liz said and she stood up even though her leg didn't balance, she managed to his room and search for her phone when Angela had she was in her room she rushed to the room and saw Liz scattering the room
" What are you looking for" Angela raised her voice but Liz continued searching for her phone without listening to her, Angela walked to one side of the room and took out Liz's phone
" Are you looking for this " Angela asked, Liz raised her head and saw her holding her phone she walked to try to collect her phone, but Angela didn't give her and also threatened her with the phone
" Tell me now if you are the boss here...your father hates you because he is now in love with me and my son, so you have nobody to protect you again," Angela said while Katarina was side the door laughing at her
" Please Angela give me my phone," Liz said with a sick voice

" You are so lucky because am weak I will make sure you lose your son when am done with you," Liz said
" What did you say" Angela asked
" She said you will lose your son" Katarina walked in and hit Liz's head with her hand Liz felt dizzy and fainted
" She fainted again...." Katarina said
"Let's pretend she has not woken up....and we might be lucky if she passed away and that means this property will be mine forever," Angela said and laughed with her devil sister.
Two days later Liz woke up and she saw her father beside her, who was putting his head on the bed luckily Liz saw her phone beside her father she took it and saw her contacts empty, she was shocked not to see any number on her phone then she realizes that her father has checked her sms, Liz cry that was what wake Mr. Mark Bezos
