GENERAL POV

The kids hung around Lucas in the waiting room, looking around the office area. Immediately after, their mom left with Candidate 1, which was Elliot Harrington, her boss, they looked at one another.

Now they spoke among themselves in low tones as they observed Lucas's crouched figure. He sat forward and bent over his phone, all his attention completely lost to the device in his hand.

"Hi, uncle," Owen called, waving his small hands to get his attention.

"What's up, big man?" Lucas replied playfully, but without looking up.

"Isabella is pressed, so we're just going to take her to the restroom." He passed on, making hand signals to his siblings.

"Don't be long," Lucas said woodenly, still without looking up.

"Sure." They said simultaneously, but instead of the general exit door that led to the restroom, they silently dispersed towards the hoist-way door of the adjacent elevator in smooth clusters. Lucas didn't notice; his eyes were focused on his phone.

    SOPHIE’S POVLucas tactically maneuvered the steering wheel as he tried to bypass a gully on the silent street we took on our way back home. I sat next to him, looking straight in one direction, and the kids sat wordlessly behind me. The car was awfully quiet except for the shallow, repetitive sound of my breathing due to anger. I was panting with rage."What a jackass..." I couldn't help but vent."What a stupid, arrogant Jackass." I continued, slamming my hand on the car dashboard."Imagine that man saying he warned me? Like, who the hell does he think he is? Stupid." I yelled, tapping my foot impatiently.Lucas took a quick peek at me from the corner of his eyes and then at the kids behind him."Hands on your ears, soldiers," he said, referring to the kids who still looked puzzled at my sudden outbursts. They immediately obeyed and covered up.When we finally arrived at our estate and got out of the car and then into the house, I immediately went straight to the kids' room and star

    SOPHIE’S POVWe walked briskly into the Standard Grill restaurant downtown. The kids arranged themselves side by side, with Isabella fixing herself in between the two boys while I hovered over them from behind."You're welcome, madam,"A plump-looking waitress with a nice set of teeth greeted me and guided us to a vacant seat."Your kids look lovely." The waitress complimented.I smiled, but before I could respond, Owen interrupted."Mum, the woman's suit is so nice; does she want to serve Joe Biden?"I swallowed hard and quickly turned to the waitress, who was already checking herself out in embarrassment, to see if perhaps she had overdressed.“Keep shut, Owen."I'm so sorry. My boy is so loud-mouthed.""We're good, madam; it's not a problem." She said, waving dismissively."What can I get you guys?" She said, looking around with her pen and paper, ready to take our orders. Then she handed us an order book."I want pasta, Caesar salad, and a chocolate milkshake." Owen went first, lo

    GENERAL POVBack into the house, Sophie opened the second door after the hallway, which separated the sitting room from the other group of rooms.She was carrying Isabella, who lay calmly on her arms, while Nathan and Owen tagged along barefoot. They were heading towards their room, and on entry, she took a moment to appreciate the beauty, the size of it all, and how expensive it was. It was so expansive that it accommodated three separate bunk beds without getting choked up. The colorful interior designs were pleasing to the eyes. The storage was stacked to the brim, alongside the toy segregator boxes in the corners, not forgetting the open shelves for their storybooks and gaming pads. The violet walls and the floors of the bathroom literally glowed with matching colors."Quite Nice." She couldn't help saying it aloud.Who would have thought Mr. Elliot could do everything possible to make living here so convenient for them? From her office space to the house, it was commendable.Whi

    SOPHIE’S POV“Daughter of sin."That was what he called me.I was staring at him, and he was staring back. His zealot eyes and firm lips, the hostile snarl of my stepmother beside him, as well as the jesting of Olivia. I stood rooted in that same spot as I was 5 years ago, wearing those same clothes. I was also crying and sobbing, pleading with my father to believe me. Everything felt so surreal until I started to feel a hand tapping at my arm. It was a small hand, but the tapping from it was unusually fervent. I opened my eyes and rose with a jerk staring back at me. This time, it was the face of Nathan, my son. I blinked repeatedly; it was all a dream.He drew closer to me and hugged me."Mummy, are you still having nightmares?”‘It was indeed a dream’ I thought to myself,I sniffed and drew him closer, taking in his scent to calm myself.We remained like that for a while, and then I peeked through the window, noticing that the purple-gray of early dawn had not yet faded."What is t

    ELLIOT'S POVI sat up on my Jado steel-style gold bed, reminiscing on some of the things that had happened yesterday. I thought about the financial analyst, Sophie Mack. My encounter with her was at the office and then again at the restaurant. My memories kept going back to her hazel eyes, how they had glowed with rage when she called Olivia a slut, and how my initial likeness for her had immediately dampened into a sort of hatred. The lady seemed like one who was uncouth and had a filthy mouth. If not, why on earth will she call Olivia a slut? Someone she barely even knew."What a rude lady," I said aloud as I stretched out before laying back, relaxing the back of my neck against the headboard.My mind flashed back again to how I had run into Sophie and her kids at the Stand Grill restaurant.A small smile brightened my face as I recalled how her three sharp-mouthed musketeers made their orders."Isn't that a little too much for their small bellies?"I remember humorously thinking to

He was in his sitting room, which now had a paranormal celestial quality to its atmosphere.While Gabriel himself was dressed in white priestly regalia, with a flaming sword in one hand and a bible in the other, Victoria, his wife, and his second daughter Olivia sat beside him, both of them dressed like angels with wings.Standing before him was his first daughter, Sophie, whom he had sent out of the house five years ago. She was wreathed in an all-black gown, kneeling before him and pleading with him not to let her go. Also, her belly seemed to protrude greatly this time—so big, one would think it was harboring about ten babies."Daughter of sin, you are here again? I see you're pregnant.” Gabriel had sneered in the dream."Get out of my presence this minute and don’t come back again, or I shall cut you down with my sword." He thundered.Sophie slowly turned and reluctantly walked towards the door. When she reache

    Elliot POVI sat limply on my rotating chair, spinning listlessly, sometimes stopping at intervals to stare at nothing. There was complete silence in the office except for the low, steady blowing noise of my air conditioner. After my encounter with Mrs. Sophie a few days ago, I had been troubled and couldn't think straight."Had I gone too far?" I thought to myself.But she pushed me. I really tried to be as diplomatic as possible, but that lady, that weird employee of mine, was just too obstinate for a woman."But had I really gone too far talking about her husband that way, right in her presence?" Another indicative thought came in."But it was she who had started it by talking down on Olivia and calling her a slut. Yes, I was only defending Olivia; I was only reciprocating her gesture." I argued inwardly."But then again, why had she reacted that way? Why did she cry when I made the statement I made?" Perhaps her husband was really a deadbeat, and I was only being a jerk, reminding

    SOPHIE'S POVI shifted the thick, opaque curtains that fell over the window in my room to one side as I observed the gate of our house through the transparent glass upstairs.The Tesla had just driven out through the open gate, and one of the uninformed security guards had begun to close it up.Elliot, who had been raising fire and brimstone some moments ago, had finally resigned to the strong will of his daughter. He has finally yielded to her persuasion as well as that of her older twin, Amelia. I let out a small smile. Was it not funny that despite his so-called anger about the recent developments, he still insisted on dropping them off at the park, even when Amelia kept insisting that the park was not that far? Sometimes, I find myself debating again who actually pampered Isabella more between her father and grandfather. I let out a wider smile this time.I drew the curtains closed again and returned to my bed to sit quietly."Just like yesterday," I whispered.It was so hard to

    GENERAL POVOwen was sitting stiffly inside Michael's larger-than-life office space. While Michael reclined at the other end of the desk, his manner was a little more relaxed since the last time they met at his school. They were having a conversation about Isabella."Have you called my sister yet?" Owen asked calmly."No, not yet," Michael answered, almost blushing at the sound of Isabella's name.Owen shrugged weakly and said,"But why her? I mean, what drew you to her? She literally dresses like a guy. Though I know my sister is beautiful, if you're not close to her like us, you might never know."Michael let out an indulgent smile, readjusting his seat and leaning forward before he spoke again.Actually, I've seen Isabella several times without her usual regalia. Erm, you know, her usual regalia." He let out a gentle laugh.Then, a little more quietly, he added:"She is so kind and beautiful."Owen laughed too, in a way that said, "I thought as much,"Then Michael went on to tap h

    ISABELLA’S POVI opened my eyes faintly the next morning after a long sleep the previous night, rolling over tiredly on the hospital's compact bed. Then suddenly, my body brushed against the rigid weight of someone sitting with his back turned against me on the bed. I sat up immediately, rubbing my palms over my face and eyes to brighten my vision. The person turned over at once, and to my relief, it was the face of Dr. James.My curious expression softened into a smile. He smiled too, and with a soothing voice, he asked,"How are you feeling?"His gaze switched to my neck and arms.I involuntarily touched the plastered areas on my hands before I said,"I'm quite fine; it was just a slight accident."A small silence ensued. He stared at me with deep care in his eyes, and for a second I had to bite my lip and look away shyly.Then he inhaled and brought out my phone from the pocket of his lab coat. Then he made a weak gesture with his hand before he said,"Your phone; I charged it for

    Nathan arrived at the Epiloxx Club as directed by the address from Isabella's text message. As soon as he got out of the taxi, He walked towards the entrance and stopped for a moment to catch his breath before attempting to go in. He stopped again and flexed his wrist to see what the time was saying on his gold watch; it was exactly 11:30 am. He inhaled and exhaled to calm his nerves, trying to imagine the look Scarlett would have on her face the moment she eventually saw him, as well as the reaction of this so-called boyfriend of hers. Then he brashly waved his hand as if to say, "Whatever." Before proceeding finally into the building with slow but steady strides. While inside the club and standing awkwardly near the door with surveilling eyes, the first thing Nathan's eyes picked out from the crowded, noisy hall illuminated with dull multicolored lights was the sight of Scarlett kissing a guy at the back of the room, a man whom Nathan immediately identified as Kevin. He froze and

    General POVIsabella's apartment was located less than 10 minutes away from her school, immediately outside the terminating bar gate.She was in the house, sitting in her cozy blue-painted bedroom with the warm, masculine-looking decor and walls pervaded by the many photographs of bikers and popular sportsmen around the world.She was wreathed in blue tops and shorts, which also marched with the color of her room, sporting a pair of expensive trainers, leaning over to untie and retie the shoelaces with a meticulous expression on her face and taut lips. She lifted her head quickly to check the vintage clocks hanging above the arc when she was done and mouthed the words:"Five minutes past six already?" looking surprised and taken aback."Oh my God." She whispered again, springing up to her feet hurriedly. The event she was about to attend was actually a racing exercise organized by her teammates back in school and was supposed to begin at exactly 6:30; she had just 25 minutes left to

    GENERAL POVThe first and second basements of the round, well-ventilated university hall were filled up with mostly young people from different parts of the city; all of them were clothed in nice dresses while also bearing notebooks and pens on their palms, jotting down points as they kept their focus fixedly on the young prominent speaker standing on top of the podium and was about to round off his talk.The speaker's name was Michael Howard, a 25-year-old billionaire heir and owner of one of the largest corporations booming in New York City, just about second after the Harringtons. He was invited to the school’s graduation to deliver the first key note speech to the graduating students. During the speech, Michael went ahead to acknowledge the CEO of Harrington Inc., Elliot Harrigton, who was also present as one of his biggest inspirations.All the while, Nathan, sitting with brother Owen and dressed up in their graduating gowns, nodded attentively to everything Michael was saying at

    15 YEARS LATERSOPHIE'S POVI was seated with Elliot in the sectioned corner of our sitting room, where the dining room was located. Breakfast was set, and we were already digging into it in silence when Nathan, who was all suited up and sitting next to his father and ready to accompany him to his office, disrupted the quietness with his slightly hoarse, passionate voice. This had become a usual routine for us every morning since Elliot started to allow him to accompany him to work about four years ago. Sometimes these dining table speculations and business advice would mostly start hours before breakfast; other times, they would start during the meal, and if we happened to be lucky, it would be after we were done eating. Sometimes I found myself counting to ten silently in anticipation of his voice, just like I had done today while dishing the meal, and as expected, the fresh economic expert we had for a son was not disappointed."I was actually following up on one of the brokerage

    SOPHIE'S POVAs soon as we arrived at the house, Elliot took out the keys from the ignition point, let out a small groan, and came down from the car hurriedly. With double-quick yet uncoordinated steps, Elliot entered the house with his head bowed to the earth. It was obvious he was still feeling hurt; perhaps it was better to allow him some quiet time to absorb everything. I observed him through the windscreen for a moment before turning over to glance at Mrs. Harrington, his mother, who was still bent over in the back seat, sniffing and weeping bitterly since the moment she followed us to the family house. Even the kids were muttering, their hands resting on her shoulder."Stop crying, grandma," Isabella said, looking at her, and her brother's eyes were on her too, looking at her worriedly.She wrapped her hands around them to acknowledge their plea, but she still could not stop her crying."Darlings, could you please borrow me a few minutes alone with Grandma?"They looked at her o
