Evan was staring blankly at the glass window of the hospital room, wondering how Shantelle was. He fished his mobile from his trouser pocket and gawked at his phone. "Fuck." He still had no means of communicating with her. "Evan, the doctor said I can go home in two days," he heard a female voic

Moreover, there were problems at the company that he had to deal with. His schedule was bound to be busy up until the next day, and he needed to get home and rest for the night. He figured he would respond to Nicole later - much later. It was already past eight in the evening when Howard, the Thom

He was walking back and forth in a secluded area of the hospital's corridor. "And what's the progress on the rape investigation? Have you found out anythin

She thought that since Shantelle and Evan were already divorced, he would eventually let her stay there. Besides, he owed her. She blamed Evan for what had happened to her, and she saw through how he felt utterly responsible. To her dismay, she miscalculated how Evan unknowingly valued Shantelle.
