The accuser has been accused.

Silence fell in the room, shoulders thrown back as they waited for Mr Jayson to unravel the truth about Melissa Tom's death according to the commenter, then their eyes were riveted in the silence as they heard the sound of a door crack and they saw Lana join them.

Mia bowed immediately he saw Lana and apologized for being carried away by the news he was watching. He went off immediately to get the refreshments for Lana.

Lana had heard Mr Jayson read something about Melissa Tom and she too was keen to know more, they all waited for him to continue.

Lana's eyes were wide and placid for a brief moment. A sudden feeling that something awful was going to happen enveloped her. Awful things were happening already with so much that has been going on lately, but she felt that this time it was going to be on her.

For about three minutes everyone's eyes were still on the TV waiting for Mr Jayson to continue but he stopped, claiming that the comment that the sender had made was not verified to be true so it would not be read out without proper investigations so that people would not be misled by such information.

The room echoed with sounds of heavy sighs.

"But we also have another interesting news here." Jude Oman beamed, heightening the attention of everyone again. Lana's heartbeat suddenly picked up but she didn't know why.

Suddenly, Mia ran into the room screaming, the juice in his almost poured out. "Ma'am, is it true?" Mia continued to scream. People turned to look at him, surprised to see Mia act in such a manner.

"Why are you acting like that? What is it about?"

"Ma'am it's about you and Santiago!"

"What about us?"

"Ma'am you don't know? The news is spreading everywhere already."

"Why don't you calm down and explain to me."

"Ma'am it's about your relationship with Santiago. I don't know that you and Santiago are in a relationship."

"What? I don't understand you."

"Ma'am, look, the news is everywhere."

Mia gave Lana his phone for her to read for herself. Lana took the phone, looked at the screen and saw the pictures of her and Santiago. The first was him hugging her in the street and the second was Santiago carrying her in his arms.

Lana's heart collapsed at the next picture she saw almost making the phone in her hands fall.

The silence in the room turned to be commotion as they were scrolling, reading the shocking news of Lana and Santiago.

Lana was totally shocked at the moment as she fought to find a way to defend herself.

The workers were now whispering among themselves, pointing fingers at her, a disdainful look on their faces.

Lana took some courage to scroll down Mia's phone to find out what people were commenting about the news.

The first comment struck her eyes, "What a snake in angel's form. I can't believe that Lana would do this to her sister. Just barely 24 hours after her sister had been kidnapped, she had jumped into Santiago's arms." The comment was followed by frowning emojis as several others supported this comment.

"Seems like that Lana of a girl was waiting for this to happen all along that she couldn't wait after her sister was kidnapped."

"What if she and Santiago had planned this themselves, just look at how they stared at each other's eyes."

"Maybe they too had a hand in Roselle's kidnapping."

"That's not true!" Lana screamed and the phone finally slipped and fell, breaking into pieces.

Mila's shoulder was thrown back too. She didn't know how to defend her friend.

Mia now held a strong rage in his eyes. He looked at his phone on the floor which had broken.

"That news is fake, it's not true!" Lana continued to shout in defence. But how can she prove her innocence when the picture of her kissing Santiago was there, even on TV now where Jude Oman and Jayson were discussing the shocking news. How can she be able to defend herself now that they were blasting her for arresting David meanwhile she was the one who had planned all this?

A pain came in front of her head, right above her eyes. As the slow minutes dragged, her body was drenched with cold sweat. Her blood throbbed in her ears, her lips were parched and she eagerly needed the refreshment to wet her tongue.

She sought for it but saw the juice was spilt on the floor as it had slipped off Mia's hand and fallen when she had suddenly dropped his phone.

She fought to control the tense effort to keep herself conscious of her environment and the drone of hateful voices that could not allow her to move a single muscle to get away from these people who were accusing her of what she didn't do.

It was true that she had let herself be foolishly controlled by her emotions that she had acted in that manner with Santiago, but she had never for once planned anything bad against her sister talk of having a hand in her kidnapping.

The workers didn't mind she was the sister of Roselle or that she also was the daughter of the multi-millionaire and they were throwing abuse on her, demanding that she too should be arrested to get the truth from her.

Mila was slowly pulling her out of the place.

"No Mila, don't tell me they're doing this to me. I never planned this to happen you have to believe me."

"I believe you, Lana, but it's best we get out of here before more bad things begin to happen. We can only prove this when Santiago comes back but for now, let's get out of here." Mila pulled her towards the outside door.

"No Mila, I'm not going anywhere until I've proven myself to these people!"

"Come on Lana, how can you prove yourself with what they're already looking at? The pictures are there, you can't deny the fact."

Lana bent forward and buried her face in her hands. She could only think of one person who had done this to her. She made up her mind to fight back.

When she removed her hands from her face, the man she had arrested some minutes ago was there looking at her with a wicked smile on his lips.
