The watchman had a house across Stella's and he follow her where ever she goes from day to night. Samuel would always call the watchman to ask after Stella whereabout and he would send the location to him. Samuel wasn't still comfortable with because even the watchman wasn't able to stop nor trace the person that brings the note to Stella door step, one day during a dinner date Samuel asked Stella who she had in mind could be treating her, Stella thought for some moment and later she said that she wasn't sure because sometimes you can offend some one and they wont even bother to tell you. Well Samuel let the question pass but he knew they was more to it. One day during a home game that Samuel's team hosted it was going well until when Samuel saw one of the spectators putting on a mask and he held a calendar that stated " All betrayals doesn't deserve a second chance ". Samuel was terrified and it caused a very bid panic for Samuel to the extent he asked his coach to sub him that he wasn't feeling too good, he left the court and went home straight, unlike Samuel he always visit an elderly woman who sells food in a local restaurant before he goes home after every match whether they won or not. Samuel couldn't eat through out that day, he called Stella but she wasn't responding, he called Stella office assistant and she was the one that told Samuel that Stella was interviewing one of the state biggest celebrate Drake. 

 After a while Stella called back, Samuel already locked himself in his room. By the time Stella got to Samuel house she saw all his house help gather at a spot, " what happened, where's your boss " asked Stella as she approach the door slowly, " we don't know what is wrong with our boss, he came home and he haven't came down since then, in fact his door has been locked, he looks like someone that have just seen a ghost" replied one of the house help that's close to Stella. Stella immediately went up to see Samuel because everything the lady said doesn't sound like Samuel, she never knew Samuel could behave the weak. She knocks at the door but they wasn't any respond " I know you're in there, can you open up" Stella said as she kept on waiting for Samuel to open the door, after waiting for almost twenty minute Stella decided to leave but that was when Samuel opened the door, the world famous basket baller looked like a man that have been sentenced to twenty years in prison. "What's the problem, why do you look unkept", she walks into Samuel's room and saw how scattered the place was, two of his bag were on the bed

 " where are you going to?, who's chasing you? " asked Stella, 

 I something or someone at today's match he kept watching my movement and he was dressed really weird, I wonder how he was able to get pass the security with such a scary costume. " maybe it was just your imagination" said Stella as she tried to arrange Samuel room, Samuel couldn't believe Stella took him for granted, a moment ago Stella was the one receiving scary letters from an unknown person and now he's the one experiencing fear even in his basketball court. " so where were you planning on going to before I came in, because you looked all packed " asked Stella, " well I was considering going to Burlingame, I have a step cousin there I can just get some time off the media and hope these spirt stops thrilling me" answered Samuel. " it seems like you were all bothered about yourself" Stella commented 

 " no it wasn't like that, I also had you in mind. I was planning on picking you along so we can fly together " answered Samuel 

 " no the last time I checked you said you were, not we were, so how come you're changing you statement. Its okay if you don't care about my safety besides am not one of your harlot you have to safe guide for your sexual interest " Stella argued 

 These statement made Samuel angry, because he knew what he had done just to be sure Stella was safe and he couldn't hold it back anymore 

 " do you know how I have tried to protect you?, you're speaking from your own view of the story" Samuel argued back, 

 " oh!, please tell me the special thing you have done Mr Protector" Stella said. 

 " were you aware I employed a watchman for you, he followed you everywhere you went just to be sure you're safe, wasn't that enough" said Samuel 

 Stella was surprised to hear this " so you mean they've been someone monitoring all my movement all this while, even what I do at night" 

 " what do you do at night " Samuel asked, " its a lady stuff, and am sure you men has yours too, but that's not the point.so someone has been following me, you're unbelievable. And you couldn't tell me at least I should know or do you think am after myself " Stella continues to argue. 

 Stella left the place really pissed off knowing everything Samuel had done, Samuel couldn't travel knowing what he had done and he couldn't leave knowing all the circumstances. Samuel took a break from training and he told the team's manger not to disclose it the media. 

One morning Stella went back to a location where she got a mail from, the centre was closed but she summoned courage and went into the deserted place, the outside of the building looked really rough and they were even postals of government asking the owner of the place to evacuate that the government wants to take the property. By the time she got inside the place was well decorated and everything look tidy, she was surprise to see such a place that looks abandon on the outside looks really different on the inside " could it be that someone still stays here, everything is in place, but I thought they said the owner left to Nigeria many years ago " she continued to search for what she could find that could be useful for investigative purpose. After some time she took pictures of the place and pictures of some useful document showing a person's ID, then she had the iron gate sound like someone was coming in, she immediately hid herself behind a room door, the person started having a conversation with another person, she waited to hear the voice of the other person to know if the person was there in person or the conversation was through the phone, " … I have already sent her the message am sure by the time she checks her mail she would be viewing another message, what about the note you're planing to send to her, have you gotten the package or should I send Kamal to get it so they wont be any traces " said Patrick one of Peter's best man during their marriage. 

 Stella recognised the voice immediately, Patrick was one of Peter best friend, the two met when Samuel's dream started coming true, he helped Peter secure his first job at a Mall where they both worked as a sales boy, the two became really close like brothers, Peter told Patrick pf his feelings for Stella and he couldn't ask her out because of the past relationship she had with Samuel and it would feel like he going after his friend Ex girlfriend, but Patrick advised him to go for whatsoever he wanted since Stella and Samuel weren't together anymore. This gave Peter the courage to stage every lied he pulled up. After the truth was out about Peter lies and himself and Stella got separated, Patrick was the only person he could confine in and Patrick sponsored his travel the first time the media were after him. When he returned back to return some important document to the office and he lost his job in that process, on his way back from a bar where he goes every Saturday night he got stabbed three times on the chest and a note was left stating " Life or Love ". Peter was carried to the hospital by a couple who lived a step away from where he was stabbed, Patrick tried his best and spent all just to save his friend's life but all to no avail, neither the police nor the press were interested in the case so Patrick decided to handle the case himself and the first two people on his list were Samuel and Stella, he even received a sponsor from Andrew, Samuel's worst enemy back at college.
