FLASHBACK:After his father's burial, Gideon came to terms with the fact that he will he sent to a boarding school.

Later on, he was informed that other boarding schools were well run but as far as Gideon was concerned, boarding schools aren't meant for broken children especially at tender ages when they needed to experience ideal childhood. "This is Gideon Romero. " introduced the science teacher to the class. He was introducing little Gideon who had just been enrolled into the junior high school, a boarding school.

Gideon knew if he doesn't come out of the car to address the issue, he will be late for work that morning especially when Judy had just texted him that clients were on their way for a business meeting."What exactly do you mean by that mother?

Instead you choose to flirt around with that secretary of yours instead of hearing what your Mother had to say" Catherine accused her son, as she placed both hands on her hips with the hope of intimidating Gideon.

" his mother told Gideon whose expression depicted shock.

In a bid to prevent Mike from presenting him to her as a maniac, he had revealed to her, a part of him which he was trying to protect.

The next day, he woke up to an empty bottle of Vodka with his head banging and he was having blurred visions. He drank too much last night; he knew it. He staggered upstairs and managed to take a shower. With a towel around his waist, he fell on his bed dialing Emma's number. He called her severally but she wasn't picking. He was aware she was ignoring him because

"What do you want? " Emma yelled at Sam after she opened her door and met him standing there motionless. He had called and texted her severally but Emma wasn't willing to listen so he showed up at her door even after she had warned him never to step foot in her apartment especially after his previous violent reaction. He was looking tensed. Emma immediately tried to slam her door at his face but luck wasn't on her side that morning. Sam quickly held the door and forced himself into her home. Emma groaned in frustration. Sam went inside and stood beside her TV set looking at her."I am sorry I forced myself in. " he apologized."Have a seat. " Emma said after all he was already in and there was nothing she could do about it. When Mike revealed to Emma Sam's mental condition. There was no denying that she felt sorry for him.

The guests they were expecting had already graced the seats of the conference hall awaiting Gideon Romero their host. As Gideon headed to the conference hall, he wondered if he went too far with his mother over the whole Fiona issue. He yelled at her and questioned her motherly role.

Fiona being an upcoming actress and having acquired some acting skills, immediately put on her acting shoes and swung to action. She headed towards Judy. Meanwhile, Judy was behind Gideon's desk holding the file she had come to pick. Her hands were wrapped around the file and she was fighting so hard to keep the blank expression on her face. She couldn't believe Gideon had a fiancee all this while. Judy knew Catherine Romero never liked her and displaying an act of weakness before this woman will send her off balance and she will be conquered. She managed to stand her ground hiding the storm that was growing in her. "Well I don't need any formal introduction again. Do I mother in-law?
