"I will call the woman who hit you with her car then" Ronnie said

"OK,but please I need a request from you" She pleaded

"What's it about?" Ronnie asked

"Please can you lie to them that I have lost my memories" she said

"What,I can't do that,that can even make me lose my licence" Ronnie disagree immediately

"Please I can't go back to my house,am about to be married out to a man as old as my father,I also can't take the punishment I receive from my stepmother again" she cried

"Then report to the cops" Ronnie suggested

"I can't, she will easily get out,she has the connection" she said

Ronnie pitied her and agree to help her but on one condition

"Which condition?" She asked

"You will explain to them on the third week" Ronnie said

"Sure, thank you Doctor" she said

"You're welcome" he said

"It's that why you lied to us?" Brittany asked

"Am sorry,I was about to be married to an old man" Natasha cried

"You didn't lost your memories?" Her father asked happily

"I hate you" she said to her father

"I know,am sorry but I did everything for you" Her father said bowing his head shamefully

"You did it for me,slapping me was for me right?,favouring Lara child was for me,selling me off to an old man was for me?"She said

"He did it for you" Frederick said coming inside

Brittany looked at him in shock

"When did he get in?" She thought

"How?" Natasha asked

"He did it to protect you from your evil stepmother" Fred said

★FLASHBACK★

He came back for a file

"Why is the door open?" Her father thought he was about going inside the room when he heard Lara speaking to someone on the phone

"what are you going to do now?" Fred asked

"I will act like I hate Natasha for the time been, I mean it will make her delay the plan" he said

"Won't she hate you,I mean you should tell her about it" Fred said

"She won't make it look real if she knows about it,I will also put action into it,her hating me is better than her getting in danger" he said

"Oh,maybe I will look for a way to bring her to your house"he said

"Okay,till then,you can also act like you want to marry her to me,you know that will make her think that you truly hate her" Fred suggests

"You're right, till then" he said
