Victoria and Blessing were captured by the police and they spent their night in a separate room in the station as punishment for what they did. The both of them settled their misunderstanding overnight and forgave each other, making promises to always have each other back and never once again be distant between them. They also plan to get back at the boys and girls that get Blessing drunk, video him, and then post the naked video and picture online.

Blessing and Victoria were released the next day and they never talk about it with anyone. They also spent the night bonding with each other.

With the help of Victoria's friends and Victoria, Blessing was able to get his revenge on the students who did him bad. Blessing, Victoria, and Victoria's friends also did the same thing to the students in a much worse way and made them drop Blessing's naked video from all online platforms never to be seen again.

After the revenge, Blessing and Victoria return to their normal lives. Victoria returns to teaching Blessing how he will be living in the outside world and a way to communicate with people. This time around, Blessing was very patient and eager to learn because Victoria told him not to mind the mask on his face and that he looked handsome with it. Victoria also makes sure he teaches Blessing how to be friendly, have courage, communicate, behave, and talk politely. Victoria also took Blessing to different occasions and parties whether they were invited or not, just to teach Blessing how to communicate with people and understand people since they are all different kinds of people.

Out of all the places Victoria took Blessing to, the only places Blessing liked visiting were clubs and a wedding occasion. He likes to go to wedding occasions with Victoria because at weddings he can understand all the different kinds of feelings there are and what they truly mean, what love is all about, and how love can be shared.

Blessing likes going to clubs with Victoria and her friends because, in clubs, Victoria teaches him how to drink alcohol so it wouldn’t be a strange thing to his body so he wouldn’t misbehave when he takes alcohol, and how to control himself when he feels tipsy.

Blessing also likes going to clubs because Victoria gets to dance with him, makes him dance with different kinds of girls they met in clubs, and teaches him how to talk, handle, and communicate with girls. There was also this one night in a club where Victoria made Blessing approach a girl to know if he had truly been learning all that she had been teaching him. Blessing only accepted to approach the girl to know if he was truly handsome with his mask and if people could actually talk to him without minding his mask.

Blessing approached the girl and talked to the girl in the way Victoria taught him but at first, the girl acted difficult and Victoria thought Blessing failed, looking at where she was seated. Then suddenly, Victoria had no idea what Blessing said to the girl which got both Blessing and the girl in a conversation that made the girl and Blessing smile. Blessing also gets the girl to dance with him and Victoria was happy about that but curious about what Blessing said to the girl.

The girl finds Blessing to be handsome and charming even with his mask and wants to get Blessing's phone number so they can get to talk more and know each other more but Blessing refuses to to give his phone number to the girl saying to the girl that until they meet again.

Victoria was not happy that Blessing didn’t give the girl his phone number telling Blessing that he should have given it so he and the girl could get close which is part of what she has been teaching him. Victoria even went ahead and told Blessing that it was time he had a girlfriend but then Blessing asked Victoria “how could I have a girlfriend when you don’t have a boyfriend?”

Victoria told Blessing that she had her reason for not having a boyfriend and Blessing replied to Victoria that he also had his reason for not also wanting a girlfriend.

When Blessing and Victoria got home that night and were about to sleep as they lay down on their separate bed, Victoria demanded Blessing to tell her what she said to the girl that made her engage in a conversation with him, dance with him, and even like me. Blessing replied that he said this to the girl “give me a chance to show you how beautiful my heart is”.

Victoria was surprised that Blessing could say such words and asked where he learned of such words, and then Blessing replied “I am not as dumb as you think I am. Even though I was heartbroken at a young age, I still indulge myself in movies which are romantic and violence”.

Victoria was surprised to hear Blessing say that and said “wow. Didn’t know you could be romantic. I always see you to be someone cold”.

“Maybe before I met you, not anymore. You have gradually taken my world and changed it” said Blessing with a smile, and Victoria smiled.

“Okay then. You are learning but don’t go play over pass” said Victoria, and she and Blessing laughed out loud.

After laughing, Blessing asked “do you really think someone could actually love me with my mask? I mean we live in a world where one can be ugly without a mask and I have a mask”.

“I understand you, and I am being sincere right now. Yes, someone can love you with your mask just the way I love you, I have always told you that. And you might not have asked this, but someone can also love you with your scar because I love you with everything and regardless of anything” said Victoria.

“Thank you for everything and being in my life” said Blessing with a smile.

“Thank you also for finding me and being part of my life” said Victoria with a smile, and they both went to sleep saying goodnight to each other.

It was during the holiday in school and most students had returned home whereas few remained in their hostels. Blessing and Victoria lied to their grandma that they wouldn’t be returning home because they had assignments to take care of in the school which made their grandma leave them but they called her every time to make sure she was okay.

Blessing and Victoria never had anything to do in school but chose to live a wild life during the holiday. Blessing and Victoria spend their time partying and visiting places every day none stop which made Blessing understand the outside world and get well to interact with people without minding the mask on his face. Blessing was glad that people found him funny with his mask and because he loves to smile a lot they told him that he looked handsome with his mask and some even called him an angel with a mask.

There was a day when Blessing and Victoria came back home from an occasion at night and immediately they walked into their room smiling and gisting, they met a man standing in the room. Immediately they saw the man and the man saw them, they both stopped walking, stopped smiling, stopped talking and closed the door then Victoria wondered who the man was while Blessing recognized who the man was and remained silent.

Victoria saw the man smile and she looked at Blessing to see he was very surprised so Victoria wondered what was going on. Victoria faced the man back and asked him “who are you, sir?”.

The man smiled again and wanted to talk but was cut short of words because Blessing cut in saying to Victoria “do you mind excusing the both of us?”.

“That is not hard but who is he? I can’t just leave you alone in the room with a strange man” said Victoria to Blessing.

“He is not a strange man. You trust me right? I will explain later but please can you give us space first” said Blessing to Victoria.

“Call me if you need anything or if anything happens” said Victoria said to Blessing, and left the room.

Blessing and the man stared at each other for some seconds after Victoria left before the man said to Blessing “you could have introduced her to me even though your mother had told me about her”.

“I don’t want to” said Blessing bluntly to the man.

“Okay. I didn’t know you wore a mask now. Hope it is not……” said the man.

“How about you skip anything that can prolong the matter of what you came for and tell me what you came for, Father. I don’t even know if I should or can call you that” said Blessing bluntly to the man.

“What do you mean what I came for? Is it a crime to come see my son?” said the man.

Hearing that, Blessing smirked and said “your son? I didn’t realize that I am still your son. I thought I was a bastard that doesn’t deserve anyone's love”.

“How can you say that? You…..” said the man.

The man was cut short of words as Blessing cut in saying to him “if you have nothing to say why don’t you get out. And mind you, I am not your son”.

“You need to calm down, Blessing. I know……..” said the man.

“I don’t want to hear anything from you anymore. Just get out of my room” said Blessing angrily and out loud to the man.

The man tried to talk and calm Blessing down but he wasn’t able to and Blessing sent him out of the room angrily.

The man was sad after Blessing sent him out of the room and he walked to his car unhappily. The man got to his car and was about to open his car door and drive off when Victoria stopped the man. The man recognizes Victoria to be the girl who was with Blessing in the room earlier and asks her “you are Victoria right?”.

“Yes, I am, sir” said Victoria to the man.

“What can I do for you?” the man asked Victoria.

“I overheard your conversation with Blessing which made me know you are his father. I want you to understand the reason why he did that but I don’t want you to leave. I promise to bring him to you” said Victoria to the man.

“Just like you did with his mother?” asked the man.

“I don’t know about that” said Victoria with a smile.

“You don’t need to lie, I know about you. My wife told me. I will find a place to stay for a while and wait for you to bring him to me and if you do, I will let you make a wish” said the man.

“I promise to bring him” said Victoria, then the man left in his car and Victoria realized she had a job to do.
