THEME:GIVE ME A CHANCE! ?
°°°°°° NEXT DAY °°°°°°
♦ RIA APARTMENT ♦
RIA POV ?‍♀
“You should eat something before leaving”
Mrs Elise said
She was holding a tray filled with Bacon and egg.
“I’m not hungry”
I lost appetite ever since Ian left my office. Mrs Elise slept at my place last night because she didn’t want me to be alone. She cooked my favourite dish but nothing tasted good. I had trouble sleeping too.
“Take little”
I shook my head
Elise dropped the tray on the table. I was concerned about Ian. And I’m ready to meet him and tell him everything.
“I called Mr Griffin and he said Ian didn’t come home last night”
“So you will check him at the office”
I nodded
“I’ll go ahead now”
I hugged her before walking out of the house.
It only fair to talk to Ian. And i know what his overdeveloped sense would be thinking of right now. And I couldn’t bear the thought of Ian not giving me a chance to explain when I get to his office.
I should probably prepare myself for Ian’s decision.
But at the same time I hope he listens.
I pray he gives me another chance to make things right between us.

LINT CORP
“Good Morning Miss Ria”
Grace greeted me cheerfully as soon as I stepped into her office. Ramsey wasn’t around.
“Morning Grace. How is work?”
“Oh fine. Thanks” she replied
“You are here to see Mr Ian right?”
“Yes” I nodded
“He’s in a meeting right now. But I’ll just call him and let him know you are out here”
“No you don’t have to do that..I’ll just wait for him”
“No..Mr Ian said I should always call him anytime you’re here to see him even if he was meeting with the president” she smiled
I flashed her a half smile.
Things are different now. I don’t think Ian will leave that meeting and attend to me.
Grace was already on phone before I could say anything.
“Miss Ria is waiting -“
She stopped and looked at me. The smile on her face disappeared almost immediately.
She dropped the phone
“Uhmm Miss Ria I don’t think Mr Ian will be done with his meeting anytime soon”
“I’ll wait -“
“Mr Ian said that you shouldn’t wait for him” she said in a low tone
“Okay” I nodded
I replied after few seconds of silence.
I glanced at the door to Ian’s office and felt the urge to go in and talk to him.. But I couldn’t. He’s in a meeting so I should respect his decision.
Mrs Elise was right..I should give him some time.
“Are you okay Miss Ria?”
I heard Grace soft voice
“Yes”
“You’re crying”
“No -“
She pointed to my face and then I placed my hand on my cheek. It was wet. I didn’t know that a tear already slipped down my cheek. I turned away from her and wiped it quickly.
“I’ll take my leave” I whispered
I spun on my heel before Grace could say anything. I stiffed back a sob as I walked out of the building.
What’s wrong with me?!
I’m not a crier?
But why couldn’t stop my tears?!
I’d no idea how to get Ian to listen to me.
How long would it take him to realized that I never meant to hurt him and that I was sorry for everything.
I wiped my face clean and started walking slowly.
I could hardly blame him!
It was all my fault!
But,
Who on earth sent that recording to him?!
I have no idea and I’ve been cracking my brain.. Trying to figure out who could have sent that recording to Ian.
I couldn’t recognize the voice. I haven’t heard it before.
Who could it be?
Who else knew that I was with Lucas six years ago aside me,Mrs Elise and Ethan?
I thought deeply
And it struck Immediately!
It couldn’t be!

°°°°°° IDAHO °°°°°°
♣ ROBERT MANSION ♣
••••• In The Study •••••
FREDERICK POV ?
“Come in” I said at the sound of a knock on the study door.
Biggy my bodyguard walked in.
I studied his expression. It was tight.
“What is it?”
“Speedy is dead”
A smile formed automatically on my lips
Now he is out of the picture. I don’t care to know how they killed him. finally he is gone!
“And the other one?”
“I sent the file to Lint Corp and I already paid the man”
“And are you sure he won’t tell anyone about it?”
“He won’t -“
“How sure are you Biggy?”
“His family – I threatened to kill them if he exposes the secret”
“Good”
“Anything else Sir?” He asked
“No.. I will call you when I have a plan”
“Okay Sir” he bowed before leaving.
I played the recording Biggy had sent to Ian.
I changed Everything. And it was enough to make Ian stay away from Ria Robert without thinking if it was possible for a blind girl to do such a thing.
He’d be more concerned about her being a Sex machine to a Criminal.
Speedy was dead!
Ian Bryant will leave her!
And she will be alone!
I grinned wickedly at the images of Ria on my old desk. I should end this drama soon but this time I won’t hire anyone for the job.
I will be the one to end Ria Robert.
I laughed wickedly.
My laughter echoed in my head.

°°°°° CHICAGO °°°°°
IAN POV ?
I shook hands with the two new Business Associates from India.
“It nice doing business with you Mr Ian”
One of them said
“Likewise”
I replied before accompanying them out of the office.
Ria wasn’t in Grace office.
“My assistant will walk you back to your car”
I needed to talk to Grace.
“This way please” Ramsey led them out.
She left without waiting.
No!
I told her not to wait anyways!
“Mr Ian -“
Grace called when I was about walking back into my office.
She looked concerned.
“Earlier – Miss Ria had cried before leaving -“
She stopped
“Actually she wanted to wait but I told her..she shouldn’t wait” I nodded slowly
“Tell Ramsey to see me as soon as he gets back”
She stared at me
I frowned at her
“Okay..yes..I will tell him” she nodded repeatedly
I walked back to my office
She had cried? Why?
Because I didn’t want to see her?
No it couldn’t be!
It hurts me to be apart from Ria but It was best to stay away from her.
I’m not distancing myself because of the recording.. I just want Ria to realize what I am to her.
And she should build her trust in me just like how she did to Ethan. She only met Days ago but she told him everything.
The door opened and Ramsey walked in.
“Ramsey that file you received yesterday please try to find out the source and whoever sent it. The location…just find anything and get back to me”
Ramsey is a computer genius. I’m sure he will find something that will lead me to whoever sent that file.
“Okay Sir”

RIA ROBERT COUTURE
RIA POV ?‍♀
“Did you talk to him?” Ethan asked
“No he was in a meeting”
I replied
“Ria -” he covered the inch between us
I blinked back tears
He was close,his warm hand on my cheek.
“It tears me apart to see you hurting like this”
I looked up at him,his image blurred slightly by the tears.
“What do i do Ethan? It hurts -” my voice trailed
He hugged me.
“Ian will come around”
He whispered in my hair
“Well I hope so” I muttered
Ethan stood back when I calmed.
He touched my face and wiped my tears with his fingertips.
“Thank You” i sniffle
He stepped backward and pushed his hands into his pocket.
“I talked to Chad this morning and I told him about the recording. And he Said that it was possible that Frederick sent it to Ian”
I nodded in agreement
I figured that out earlier..if Frederick was aware that I’m alive then he could be the one.
But it hard to figure how he found out I was the same Ria he tried to kill and why he sent that recording to Ian.
“Did he find anything?”
I asked Ethan . I was referring to Chad. He travelled to Idaho last night.
“Nothing much..He’s still trying to find Detective Derrick”
“Ethan if it was Frederick who sent that recording to Ian then how did he find out I was with Lucas? Because He wasn’t aware I was still alive back then cause Lucas hid me from him”
“I asked Chad the same question and he said that it’s possible that one of the MML gang told him the truth”
If that’s the case then who told Frederick the truth?
Who among the MML gang is still alive?
“Chad wants you to be careful and he suggested that you don’t keep last nights and always lock your door and windows before going to bed”
That terrified me!
My heartbeat accelerated at the realization that Frederick was after my life again.
“What about the Attorney?”
“I’m still yet to find an Attorney”
“I have an Attorney.. The one who helped me get my kids adoption papers”
“Ria we can’t just take on any Attorney”
“He is good”
He placed his hand on my shoulders
“I want the best Attorney for this case. And I will find the best in the state who will help us”
“Ethan we don’t have much time. Frederick will find me and -“
I said fearfully
“No he won’t find you. And even if he finds you I’m not going to let him hurt you again. I promise”
He hugged me again and I clung to him.
And I suddenly wished it was Ian holding me.
I closed my eyes and listened to Ethan’s heartbeat. But I was glad that he was here to comfort me.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this episode??
