Collini, did you know if your age between 25 and 65?
Starting point is 00:00:33 Well, you can get a free HPV cervical check. It's one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. And you know what? I actually checked only recently when mine was due and no exaggeration. It took me less than five minutes. You go online to hse.com. But in your PPS number, check in the date of birth. And then they tell you when your next appointment is due.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Oh my God. I know. I know. And you can check you on the register on the website so you can phone 1-800-45-55. If your test is due today, you can book today or hscccccc. i.e. 4 slash cervical check. Ezra and I headed straight to the police station after everything went down.
Starting point is 00:01:06 We both gave detailed statements about what happened, the drug, the kidnapping attempt, the whole nightmare. The officers seemed pretty serious about the case, which was a relief. They assured us they'd pull all the nearby CCTV footage, hoping to catch those two guys who tried to drag me off. But honestly, I knew deep down it wasn't going to end with just is served. Sometimes, you just have to accept the loss as life throws your way and move forward. This incident was a brutal wake-up call, reminding me exactly how vicious Delilah really is. Years ago, she quietly took my brother out with nothing more than a poison macaron. Now, she's back at it, using the same dirty tricks on me. And if she fails the first time,
Starting point is 00:01:54 you better believe she's ready to try again and again, until she gets what she wants. But I'm not the scared, helpless girl I was back then. No way. I've clawed my way up in Nova, and I've got my hands on some seriously sensitive company secrets. This grudge I've carried around for seven years. It's time to settle it once and for all. Ever since I got back to the city, I've been hunting for Amanda, the nanny who worked for my dad during those dark times. Dad told me after Jamie died, Delilah wasted no time firing her.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I had to find out what she knew. Amanda Hart, her real name, is from some small, nowhere town in Texas. I thought tracking her down would be easy, but it turned into a nightmare. I hired a private eye, and for a while, it felt like she'd vanished into thin air. No family left, no traces, nothing. So, I switched tactics. I had Nova's finance team go over old records and transactions, since the Baldwin's accounts were all managed through the company.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That's when I stumbled on it, a $300,000 transfer from Delilah's personal account, dated exactly seven years ago. The money had gone into a temporary account, which eventually led us straight to Amanda Hart. This was the break I needed. The PI pushed harder and finally uncovered where Amanda was living now. Turns out, seven years back, she came into a sudden fortune, changed her name to have. Helen Davis, and moved with her kid to a tiny Texas town. I flew down there myself, ready to get some answers, but Amanda wasn't having it. Denial was her armor. She pretended
Starting point is 00:03:42 she was just Helen Davis, some random woman with no ties to Delilah or my late brother. No amount of reasoning or threats made her crack. It was obvious, trying to get Amanda to testify was a dead end. Before leaving Texas, I paid her one last visit. She was as cold and stubborn as ever, acting like nothing could shake her. This time, I didn't press the past. Instead, I looked around her rundown house and shook my head. Sitting on a gold mine and living like this. You don't know how to use what you've got, I said casually.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Her eyes flickered for a moment, sharp and calculating. That's when I knew she had her plan. A few months later, there it was, a detailed report on Delilah's bank accounts on my desk. Amanda had started asking for money. 50 grand at a time, then bigger sums. Her demands grew fast, like a greedy wildfire. From what I know, Delilah doesn't give two cents about the cash.
Starting point is 00:04:46 What really scares her is the power Amanda holds now, a secret that could bring her empire crashing down. I can only imagine the panic eating at her, watching her control slipped through her fingers. My part Just sit back, be patient And wait for the perfect moment to strike Watching her live in fear Never knowing when her whole world will shatter
Starting point is 00:05:09 That's the sweetest kind of revenge Of course, I've kept all this from Andrew To me, he's pure and unspoiled There's so much rugby on sports extra from Sky They've asked me to read the whole lad at the same speed I usually use for the legal bit at the end Here goes This winter sports extra is jam back with rugby

He doesn't need to see this side of me, caught in a web of old grudges and dangerous games. Still, there's a whole other layer of frustration. Andrew hasn't told anyone in his family were together. Except for Ezra, nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And honestly, that stings. But I remind myself, he just needs time. And for him, I'm more than willing to wait. To be continued.
