GENERAL POV

It was past noon, and the golden glow of evening lingered.

Joseph dropped the kids off at their estate. After they climbed out, he partially stuck out his head from the car window as usual and yelled sprightly.

"Going off to get your mom now; we’ll be right back just soon.”

“Okay.” They responded uniformly.

Waving at him and watching him drive back out in reverse motion. Owen and Nathan went to lock up the gates.

‘I’m so famished.” Isabella complained to herself from where she stood.

Owen and Nathan broke into a run on their return from the gate.

"What happened? Where are guys dashing to?"

Isabella asked with her eyebrows raised and her little hands fixed on her waist.

"We've got just about two hours, Bella." Owen tried explaining with a quick voice while still on his heels, darting past her as he raced into the house.

The confusion remained smothered on Isabella’s face.

“Two hours to what?” She asked further, but Owen was already far gone; it was Nathan, who was behind h

    SOPHIE POVI came to the office much earlier than usual today. Even my kids had been so surprised and could not help but keep inquiring over and over again."Mum, tell us, are you guys throwing another party at your workplace again today?"Isabella had even gone on to pose further, asking if it was Mr. Elliot's birthday this time.Until I finally had to sit them down and explain to them that it was actually because of the trip I informed them about a day earlier."Mummy needs to be punctual to set things straight and clear up any waiting mess at the office. You know checks and balances must be taken care of before traveling. Get it now?" I inquired."Oh...oh." They said, now looking more understanding. They too had to dress up a little more punctually for their school.I felt relieved as well when my explanation stopped their bugging questions, but deep down I knew that wasn't the complete story.Apart from the travel aspect, there was something else I heard on my way back from work y

Still as beautiful as ever, if not more now."Edison remarked cheerfully after disengaging from the hug we just shared, flashing his extra-white teeth pleasantly.I smiled and looked away. "Enough with the sweet talk, Eddie. You're not looking bad yourself." I complimented him.He put a hand on his chest to signal his appreciation, and then I added inquisitively, "Is it up to two years now since we last met?""Yeah," he affirmed, raising his voice exuberantly."It's actually about two years and four months now. I remember we saw you last precisely at Professor Nicholas's book presentation at that Los Angeles conference where I bumped into you with your kids.""Oh my God, you're right." I agreed, nodding."Such a long time indeed."The last statement he made appeared to trigger his curiosity, so he started to look around."What is it?” I inquired, watching him.“Your kids, I just remembered.

    ELLIOT POVAfter my one-of-a-kind visit to Dad and my spontaneous encounter with Hannah, my sister, which again doubled to become another spontaneous encounter with Amanda, the atmosphere had become a thousand times more coercive than I had predicted it to be. Dad must have noticed my fitful gestures during the dinner the three of us had together, which is why after we said goodbye to Amanda and after I saw her off, he beckoned on me for another private talk."Son, this is not me trying to push Amanda down your throat or anything. This is just me saying, Hey, take a look at what's right under your nose, buddy. You and Amanda have been close friends since kindergarten. You are highly schooled and educated; she is too.You are a superclass CEO; she is a lawyer extraordinaire. I think you're a perfect fit. But hey, I'm only coming this way because time is running out, and you know how Harrington works; I don't want you replaced. So this is me doing my best as the founder and, more still,

    ELLIOT POVAfter Sophie went off with the bald guy, I strained my ears while sitting up on the couch, listening and checking out for the sound of their footsteps outside the door. And even when I could no longer hear anything, I waited for an extra two minutes to reassure myself that they were completely gone."There is no way I can sit all alone here," I whispered to myself.The statement was half true. Sitting all alone in the suite was not exactly my problem; what was really eating me out from the inside was the way she had left happily in the arms of that strange guy, the way they had both looked and smiled at each other and Sophie's weak defenses to the guy's intimate and over-the-board assertions.I was feeling like a theft victim here, and not just any theft, but the kind where the thief had carried out the act right under my nose. I gasped, rising at the same time."I need to follow them," I whispered, clenching my fist."I need to protect her," I mumbled, trying to convince m

    Joseph's car pulled up in front of the estate gate, and the door of the car slid open as all three kids hopped out."Alright guys, be good, okay?" Joseph said in his usual jolly good manner."We will!" They responded in unison, running past the gates as they made their way into the house.Aunt Susan was sitting casually on their balcony, going over something on her phone, by the time they came in."Aunty!" Isabella screamed, running over to hug her, and the boys raced right after her."My angels." Aunt Susan cheered, getting up, picking them up one by one, and pecking them on the cheek. Starting with Isabella."Welcome guys! Did you have a great time?" She asked."Sure!" they chorused.After a quick silence, Owen cleared his throat to ask a question, his face going sullen.“So Aunty, about Mummy, is she gone already?" Owen asked.“Yeah, already off to New Zealand. She's going to call us once she's fully settled."“I don't know what I'm feeling like; I think I'm missing her already,” N

    SOPHIE POVThe tension between Elliot and I filled the car from where we were perched and spaced apart awkwardly in the backseat.The tension had even engulfed Mr. Manuel because even his driving was in a fidgety and anxious manner. I was a bit scared by his overspeeding and reckless driving but I didn't have a choice; I had to bear with it because, according to Elliot, we needed to get to the New Zealand branch as soon as possible, even if it meant flying past the road traffic in a Hyundai.Burrows had called Elliot some six minutes ago, informing him that we needed to get to the office within the space of 10 minutes, emphasizing that "it was very urgent."Elliot had immediately run over to the kitchenette, telling me to abandon the delicious bagels I was heating and get myself dressed for work promptly to beat the short time frame given.So here I was, on my way to resume at my new place of duty, on an empty stomach. I let out a sigh. When Elliot heard my sigh, he gave me a knowing

    Sophie's POVI woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating for an incoming call. I jerked up with red, half-sleepy eyes.I thought it was Elliot because he had not returned to the hotel yesterday night after his behavior at the office in the morning, and I had not wanted to call so I wouldn't come off as being the eager one."Maybe he was calling to apologize," I thought.But when I grabbed my phone from under the nearby pillow to check on the caller, the name on the screen was Aunty Susan.I gasped, hesitating at first due to the firsthand surprise, but quickly picked it up, happy about the call all the same."Aunty Suzi," I called, smiling."Aunchi Suzhia." She mimicked me with a weird, mocking voice."So you still remember you had an aunt back home? After your first call saying you had arrived and would call us back when settled, we’ve heard nothing from you?"Aunty continued in her playful yet sardonic voice."I'm so sorry; you wouldn't believe me if I told you a lot came up.

    SOPHIE POVIt was Monday morning, and it was also my first proper resumption to work at the New Zealand branch of Harrington Inc.We were on our way to the office. Elliot and I were both dressed in corporate suits, sitting spaced apart behind Manuel in the back seat as usual. But, unlike Friday morning, the atmosphere in the car was totally different. It was so much more serene and quiet. And even when Manuel had tried driving a bit faster on the freeway, Elliot had waved calmly from the back, saying,"Hey, you're too fast, man. Take it gently."Manuel immediately heeded, reducing the car's pace while muttering an apologetic "Sorry, sir."I stole quick, careful glances at Elliot from the corner of my eyes. He has been like this since Sunday morning, wearing that same sober, introspective look on his face.After that unusual drama on Saturday night, we still had not talked about what he confessed to me that night, and I knew I wasn't going to bring it up because I felt it wasn't in my

    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
