“So you're meeting up with this mystery woman, who supposedly knows everything about you?” Mrs. Francisco asked Bruno, trying so much to conceal her shock.

“The same mystery woman also knows about my involvement with the divorce and everything that transpired between you and Alison?”

Bruno sighed adjusting his necktie and staring at his reflection in the mirror, with his gaze drowning in it. “Exactly, and what freaks me the most is the fact that I'm not aware of how much she knows..” he trailed off.

“I mean, what if she knows about the other hidden things and tries to blackmail me into stuff because of them?”

Mrs. Francisco shook her head, then suddenly, her lips curled up into a mischievous smirk. “But you did mention that she has plans to get rid of Alison right?” She asked and Bruno nodded.

“Then she should be good news, I mean…it's not everyday you get to see someone who's willing to take down your enemies.”

“Mum, Alison isn't an enemy!” Bruno snapped before realization dawned

    Seated on her bed, in her almost dark room which was only illuminated by the small lamp by the bed stand, Alison typed aggressively, as she thought about a lot.First, why wasn't Uncle Carlos back yet, despite knowing the nature of his lover's accident and then work…She yawned tiredly, slightly drowsy but she wasn't going to give in to sleep.., not until she was done with ironing out the documents she was working on.A notification caused her phone's screen to flash and she quickly gasped, staring at the time, it was already past midnight, precisely 2am.Not like she was really much of a deep sleeper, but usually, once it was midnight, by default her body system would shut down until 4am but now, she was still agile at 2am, just slightly drowsy.“I should round up and go to bed then,” she mumbled, and was doing so when her phone rang, vibrating beside her.“Weird…who calls at this time?” She yawned and checked the phone.Before she could stop herself, a smile broke out of her lips at

    Night passed within the twinkle of an eye, and it was finally dawn. Alison got dressed for work, and hurried on, not forgetting Travis's words.Alison sat at her desk, her eyes scanning the documents in front of her. It was a typical Monday morning, with the sound of keyboards clacking and phones ringing in the background. “Hope you had a great weekend,” Karen waved at her, walking into her office.“Of course, I did,” Alison smiled softly and looking up from the documents before her, her gaze met with Karen. “Woah!! Look who came back from work leave looking all beautiful and hot.” “Don't flatter me,” Karen said, her face already turning red in embarrassment. “I just needed a break you know..”“Of course, and the break reflected on your body.” Alison teased, loving the embarrassed blush on Karen's cheeks. “Anyways, I hope you got me something.”“Of course!” Karen exclaimed, settling into the visitor's chair across Alison. “Congratulations, you guys won the case, honestly, it was a t

    As Alison walked out of Travis's office, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. She had made the right decision, she was sure of it. But as she walked back to her own office, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Travis was still going to be a problem for her.They worked together, he'd never hesitate to show her how much he cared, every single time. Was she really making the right decision?Meanwhile, back in Travis's office, he was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at the wall.He expected Alison's reaction, of course she wasn't the type of person who'd easily accept people back into her life after a fall out.He could see that there were still sparks between them, the jolt of electricity was still pretty obvious, and he wasn't backing out anytime soon. He was going to get Alison to fall in love with him again, and make her happy again.His mind was a thousand miles away, recalling the events that had transpired before his marriage to Raquel.He remembere

    “And if things ever fall apart, we would have made memories, long enough to last a lifetime.” These words, which were Travis's favourite lines and sort of promises, kept replaying in Alison's head as she sat alone in her office, her mind consumed by memories of her and Travis. What was more crazy, than the fact that he was just beside her office, he still wanted her and yet a part of her didn't want him.She couldn't believe how things had turned out between them. From lovers to boss and employee, it was a complicated situation, one that she wanted to run away from.Just as she was getting lost in her thoughts, Karen walked in, a bright smile on her face.

    “This deal, if successfully completed, will earn us billions of dollars” Enzo said with hunger in his eyes, and gulped down all the content of his glass. “Plus the risk involved is only with oppositions. We don't need to bother about the Governmental agencies, I've got them under control.” Marco shook his head and stared at Bruno whose gaze was distant, who looked lost in thoughts. The trio were seated in their usual lounge, sipping their drinks and discussing business as usual. The atmosphere was tense, with an undercurrent of unease, the unease was mostly unspoken, so it was more like the atmosphere held a lot of words, and none was willing to talk about it. “Bruno, are you alright?” Marco asked softly, his gaze lingering on Bruno. “You've been lost since we got here, are you no longer interested in the business?” Instead of giving a response, Bruno shrugged, not knowing how much to reveal. “It’s nothing Marco, just that I've been trying to figure stuff out.” “You want to t

    “So, what's this about?" Travis asked, his eyes scanning the room, before he took off his shades and dropped them on the table.“Have a drink first, then we can talk.” Enzo offered him a drink. “If not for anything, for old times sake.”"I don't have time for small talk. Tell me why you invited me here." Travis said, sternly. “I've got a couple of things to deal with so…”Enzo's face darkened, and he looked like he was about to explode. "Fine," he spat. "If you insist then, we invited you here because we want to talk about the past, when you still used to be a member of this brotherhood.”“What brotherhood? I thought we were just a group of friends, rather Elite men?” Travis asked “So what brotherhood are you both referring to?”“We…we're the brotherhood, Travis, we've always been.” Enzo said.Marco jumped in, his voice smooth as silk. "Yes, Travis. We've been thinking, and we realize that we made a mistake by letting you go."Bruno and Travis exchanged glares, the tension between th

    “And I'm right outside the apartment,” Alison said, her left hand holding her phone against her ears. “See you in a moment.” She said and ended the call, before pulling up to Megan's house, concern etched on her face.As she stepped out of the car, she noticed a familiar figure sitting at the balcony and flipping through the pages of a magazine.He was back?"Uncle Carlos?" She called, her voice laced with surprise and a hint of anger and disappointment. "Why are you suddenly back, what took you so long?"Carlos, Megan's lover, looked up at Alison with a mixture of guilt and defiance. "I came back home, Alison, and that's no way to greet your uncle, you know," he replied with a small smile.Alison's eyes narrowed, as she took in his expression. "You just show up after how many weeks? After leaving her and not even bothering to come back when she got into an accident?"Carlos sighed, rubbing his temples. "Alison, I—"But Alison wasn't having it. She kept glaring at him. “What excuse

    Travis' hopeful gaze lingered on Alison as he waited for her to say something.What did she mean by she was ahead of him on this one? And the look she had in her eyes was one he took a lot of time to understand.Whenever she knew a secret or had a surprise planned out, that was the exact same expression.“It depends on you… what do you want to hear?” she shrugged and sat upright, so did he.“I want to hear everything Alison, the whole plan.” He insisted and she nodded.“We are going to be needing Uncle Carlos' help on this one.” She started. “I have been keeping tabs on Raquel, and I'm glad she is still here in Chicago. Apparently not yet aware that we know about all of her stupid deeds.”As She spoke, his gaze drifted off, picturing her words clearly. “And since she doesn't know that we are aware of her atrocities, I'm pretty sure she's out there living her normal life.”“Exactly, she doesn't even have any reason to suspect that anyone knows about her sins, since she was smart enough

    Alison smiled widely settling onto a long couch, with Travis by her side, and her gaze darting around the room, to the happy faces of her guests - unexpected guests actually.Forgiveness felt exciting, it made her feel lighter, like a heavy weight just got lifted off her shoulder.“This has to be the most underrated pill.” She whispered, snuggling closer to Travis.“What's that?” He asked, staring in her eyes, with his arms wrapped around her.“Forgiveness.” She responded, and broke off their eye contact, allowing her gaze wander off. “You know, when I got Bruno arrested alongside his mother, and gained custody over my son… it did not feel this satisfying.”Oscar and Karen stopped their conversation and had their entire attention fixed on the couple, who were just starting to reinkindle their love.“I felt thirsty, like there was so much more I was missing out on.” She continued. “You know that feeling when you have already gotten everything you always wanted, and yet it was not as sa

    The moment he sighted Alison walk out of the room looking like a ghost, better still, a frame of her former self, Travis' eyes widened in shock, so did his mouth. There was not any way he would have believe that his Alison would lose so much weight and life in just a matter of twenty one days. Her collar bones were glaring, deep enough to hold water in them. Her eyes were red, and so was her face… a testament to the tears she had to shed and the pain she'd gone through.Alison on the other hand, kept staring at him, although at first she didn't want to admit it, he was looking so haggard and unkept, his hair was messy and his moustache was starting to grow wild.Only twenty-one days apart did this to the couple, who would have thought so.Still standing apart, the couple kept staring at each other, with so many words running through their minds, yet no one was uttering any words.Who would?Travis who was articulating his thoughts and thinking of the perfect way to get Alison's for

    After so much hesitation, Travis finally planted a soft knock, on the door of Megan's apartment.“Who is it? How can I help you?” He heard Megan's soft voice ring from inside, and moved back slightly.As sounds of footsteps approached and grew louder, so did Travis’ heartbeats. What if she sends him away rudely?Alison must have told her about everything that happened, so how was he going to face her now?“Who is it, yo …” Megan's voice stopped halfway as she sighted Travis standing by the door, looking pale.“Y..you're here,” she said, obviously shocked. “I never thought you'd stop by.”“I'm sorry, I swear, I'm really sorry.” He said and Megan folded her arms under her chest.“What do you want? Why are you here?” “Aunt Megan, please… I need your help, don't say no, I beg of you.” He pleaded. “A lot happened, and I really need to speak with Alison.”“Well… sorry to disappoint you, but Alison is not here.” Megan shrugged and turned to go in, but Travis held onto her hand, with guilt

    Travis tried to trail Raquel, but she was nowhere to be found, apparently she had already gone too far.“Fuck!!” He groaned in annoyance, punching his steering and screaming his lungs out. “I've lost everything!”Before he could stop himself, tears began slipping down his eyes. He got to the side of the road and parked.“Why did I let it get to this point?” He asked himself, ruffling his hair in frustration and crying out. “Now she has gotten what she wanted and is nowhere to be found.”He tried to calm himself down but it just was not working out.‘why not just head home, hopefully you would meet her and explain everything.’ His subconscious mind suggested and Travis shook his head.“I fucked up already, what explanation is going to make sense to her?” He muttered, his eyes already red from crying and his fists bruised.Eventually, he decided to drive home, not knowing exactly what to expect, but hoping for the best nevertheless.The drive was rough, with Travis growing more emotiona

    “What the hell is going on here?” Alison yelled in shock, and Raquel got off Travis thighs, deciding to play the victim.“Sweetheart, what is she still doing here? I thought you said you were no longer with her?” Raquel asked Travis, pointing at Alison and crying. “I should never have trusted you again in the first place.”“Alison, I swear I can explain.” Travis whispered getting off the couch and swiftly going over to hold Alison.“Don't touch me!” She snapped, slapping his hands off her. “I should have known that this is what you were up to when you suddenly woke up and created the idea that you were going to work from home.”“Cupcake, it's not what you think.” He said going on his knees. “I promise you, I was actually working from home.”“It can even be what I think, but what I saw Travis… this bitch was straddling you and you didn't even push her off, what is she even doing here? And what does she mean by you said we'd broken up?” Alison asked, feeling her feet grow cold then she

    The notion that ‘time flies’ had never made more sense to Alison. Just like yesterday, she was fighting to get her son back, then she lost him, and now three months had passed already. She had finally embraced the fact that her Theo was gone and she was never going to see him again. Deep down, she was grateful to Travis, who had always been her knight in shining armor, walking her through every single stage of grief. She finally opened her heart to Karen, Megan and Carlos, letting them comfort her. Although Alison never believed the saying that ‘time heals’ she'd a testament to that. “You're awake?” Travis muttered with a small smile as Alison tried to sit upright. “How was your night?” “It was good, I mean… I slept well,” she replied and smiled back at him. Her gaze caught the time on her clock and she gasped. “It's 8am, already? I have to get to the office.” She said and swiftly got out of bed. “Wait, you're resuming, already? You sure you are ready?” Travis asked, with

    “I can't keep watching her do that to herself.” Travis murmured, as he sipped from his drink at the bar. “It's been more than two weeks already, and she is still refusing to talk to or see anybody.”Oscar sighed and then patted Travis’s back softly. “You've got this boss. Although Miss Alison needs som time alone, you should be by her side, comfort her and and reassure her that you're always going to be by her side and she hasn't lost her only reason to live.”“I had no idea you were really good with advice.” Travis chuckled lightly, and took a sip of his drink. “She's extremely vulnerable at this moment, and I am too…it's difficult consoling her, when she keeps blaming herself for everything that has happened.”“The more reason you have to be there for her, help her get rid of the emotional trauma.” He said, his expression unreadable. “It's better that way, so she doesn't feel like she's alone.”“I'll try to do that, and I hope she'd finally agree to go out.

    Tears, pains, guilt, regrets and sorrows suddenly redefined Alison. It has already been a week since Theo's death, but to her it was no more that yesterday.Words of encouragement came in through one ear and went out through the other, leaving her drowning in despair and a walking shadow of her former self.“Where did I go wrong?” She asked no one in particular, as she sat alone in the room Theo spent his last week in. “Why do forces seem to be standing against my happiness? One moment, I'm at the verge of achieving my dreams, and the next minute, it's like everything has been turned upside down.”Travis who had been watching her from the door which was slightly ajar, shook his head in pity.“For how long will you keep doing this to yourself?” He finally asked. Alison didn't flinch despite how sudden his voice came, neither did she react, she just remained motionless, holding tightly onto Theo's bloodstained clothes, as if they were going to disappear if she let them go.She had ins
