She sighed and realized that indeed, she had no other option but Nicolas to get her to work. She stepped into the car and Nicholas drove off to her corporation. But Nicholas didn't say any word. When they arrived at the corporation, Debby was about opening the door when she realized the door was locked by Nicholas.

"What is this madness? Open this door now!" She demanded.

"I will open the door, but I need you to hear me out,

"Nicholas begged. He had checked his wrist watch and realized she still have a couple of minutes to spare.

Debby knew that there was nothing she could do at the moment. She had no other options available than to give Nicholas a listening ear.

"I am listening..." She said after taking a look at her wrist watch.

"Debby, the only reason why I had to pull the stunts I did against you was because I cared so much for you." Nicholas explained, much to Debby's dismay.

"You cared? Oh spare me the childish talk Nicholas!" She replied angrily.

"If the DNA test results had turn out true on that day, you would have certainly not handed Broderick to Harry and I'm sure Harry would have found a means to punish you...Probably use your son as the collateral for your act." Debby was quiet. "I didn't want you to suffer Debby, I wanted you to be happy.

Harry Vernon is brutal man and he would most certainly commit the most heinous vices against you and I don't want that." Nicholas explained.

"How can you care for me more than I care for myself, Nicholas?" Debby asked in amazement.

"I care for you Debby. I didn't want you being in Harky's bad book. I would rather suffer than watch you suffer." He made eye contact with her. "Debby, you are still young. You have a handsome son, and a whole life ahead of you, think about it." Debby reasoned with what Nicholas had said, and realized that if she hadn't delivered Broderick on the fateful day, things would have probably turned out sour for her. She further realized that it was due to her act of delivering Broderick to Harry that she had successfully won his heart over.

"Please Debby; I need you to forgive me. I am sincerely sorry for what I did, I was thinking it was the best for you and that is because I cared." She looked into Nicholas eyes and saw honesty and sincerity written all over her expression.

Debby thought navk to all the times that Nicholas had helped her liberally, she looked away for a moment then turned back to her," "I have forgiven you."Nicholas smiled in return and hugged Debby, he was happy that he had won Debby's forgiveness back again and that there was no longer bad blood between them. Debby left Nicholas's car afterwards and eventually stepped into the corporation to meet the board of directors.

While heading to the meeting room, Debby was overly anxious. She was scared that they would throw her out of the building when they lay eyes on her. However, when she walked in, she was surprised by the warm reception she was received. "Miss Debby, pardon our ignorance. We have really offended you and hope that you replace a pardon our ignorance." Debby wasn't expecting things to turn out this way; she was confused by what they meant.

"We have unanimously decided that you are to be reinstated into your work place. You can take the day off, while you resume tomorrow."

Another member of the board of directors spoke," the truth had been revealed. We are very sorry for accusing you wrongly."

To say Debby was happy was an understatement.

She was extremely glad to realize that she had been accepted back, even without offering any sort of explanation. One thing however stood out for her;

Debby wondered how they had replace out the truth.

Does that mean they have found out who set her up?

Well, the most important thing is that she had been reinstated back. Debby was very joyous.

When Debby arrived home, it was later to the afternoon. She needed to celebrate her return to being at work. Debby decided that she was going to treat herself to pleasurable meal in a restaurant. While changing her dress into something more casual, she heard someone clear their throat behind her and she gasped, when she turned around to see Harry standing with his usual stoic face.

For the past few days, Harry has been bothered greatly by the fact that Debby has distanced herself from him. He didn't like the gap that was existing between the two. The fact that he had also figured out the truth about what happened years ago in the bar was another issue he needed to deal with.

He had gotten information from one of the members of the board of directors that Debby had been fired for misappropriation of funds. After making his investigation, he realized that Debby had been set up and ordered that she be reinstated back to the office, considering the fact that he was the head of the corporation.

When Debby had arrived at the mansion, Harry knew it was the perfect time to go and settle things amicably with her, considering she was also in a good mood. Thus, when he noticed the room opened, he stepped inside to see Debby zipping up a gown she was wearing.

What had drawn Harry's attention wasn't her beautiful body. What had drawn his attention was a mark on her back. Memories of the mark he had seen from his childhood lover, flooded through his brain.

He could feel the echoes of his lover's voice in his heart and it sounded just like Debby's own. So, when Debby turned around after he had made his presence known, he was shocked to realize that the same eyes that stared at him, while he was a teenager were the same eyes staring at him at the moment. Only that this was the adult version. Edna had never given him the goosebumps he was developing at the moment, seeing Debby's face. The rays of the evening sun shining on her face, made her look absolutely stunning. Slowly, he made his way over to her side and Harry found himself using his hands to trace her flawless skin. This was the same act he had done years ago, when his love for Debby bloomed like the beautiful roses in the garden. Every single detail of his younger self with Debby was playing out right before his very eyes.

Debby was confused as to the admiration she was seeing in Harry's eyes. His hands on her skin, still had great effect on her and despite being angry with him she couldn't help but want more of his touch.

"You are my childhood lover! The one I usually play with along the shores of river Alkaline." He said happily. "Everything is becoming crystal clear, the eyes, the smiles, the skin touch and the voice. It all points to you, Debby."

Debby felt flustered in her heart. Harry has suddenly realized she was his lover. Debby, had found this out a few weeks ago and she told him about it but he didn't believe it. Debby was in total awe, wondering why he eventually believed or how he found out.
