“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

    Alison turned back around, surprised to see Travis' mother smiling warmly at her, getting quite nervous, she averted her gaze to Travis and then he nods at her, before smiling back.“Come on, Alison, come here,” The woman said and opened her arms. “I know this seems weird, since I've never really done this and let's just say from now on, I'd be all that I've never been to you.” “That's new,” Alison mumbled under her breath and made her way back down, the moment she went to the couch, Alison found herself being enveloped in a tight hug."I'm so sorry for everything you are going through, and all you have been through in the past," Travis's mother said, her voice filled with genuine concern.Alison was taken aback, but as she hugged the woman back, she drifted her gaze to Travis, using her eyes to ask him. “Is everything alright?”He smiled shortly and whispered. “Calm down.”Mrs. Rodrigo notices Alison's stiffness and taking it as a question, she decides to explain her actions. “I kno

    “And when all of these are over, we will definitely go official.” Travis whispered and hugged Alison, resting his head in the crook of her neck. “And the perpetrators will pay.”“Exactly, a suite in defamation of character alone will be the perfect price.” She whispered back. “At least not so much, and not mild either, they'd regret ever messing with you.”“I know this isn't over yet, but I really need to say this…” Travis trailed off, still not breaking away from the hug. “You know the reason I left the house without letting you know, the day the news broke out, is not because I had to attend to the calls or anything… I just did not want to watch you break down.” “You could have stayed you know, like they say, two heads are always better than one.” She whispered back. “I'm consoled by the fact that you're innocent of the allegations, it's just the tape that's quite…”Travis suddenly went mute, not uttering a single word anymore, and his heartbeat quickened against Alison.“Trav, you

It was just some rumors right?”Travis sighed and walked fully into the living room. “Alison It's.. it's just a whole lot.” Alison’s hand went up to Travis's face and she ran her fingers through it, locking her eyes with his.“Trav, I'm here for you, I always will be here.” She whispered. She could see the exhaustion and worry etched on his face, and deep down she hoped the news were just not true.His eyes, normally bright and confident, were sunken and red-rimmed. His shoulders slumped, and his usual sharp jawline was now gaunt and pale. Seeing that he really needed all the emotioal comfort he could get, she embracing him tightly. “You can count on me my darling.

    “Wait up, Bruno you really did a good job.” Enzo grinned staring at the television with a smirk. “It has been ages since I have been thinking about bringing that rude brat to his knees, and that is exactly what is going on.” The Elite men were seated in their usual spot. The luxurious lounge was dimly lit, with soft jazz music playing in the background, creating a sophisticated ambiance. The walls were adorned with expensive artwork, and the floor was covered with plush carpeting, giving the space a sense of opulence. Marco, Enzo, and Bruno sat comfortably on a sleek, black leather couch, sipping their drinks and watching the news on the large screen TV.“Honestly, Enzo I can't be more glad that this is happening.” Marco replied and took a sip out of his drink. “And… the beautiful thing about everything that transpired is the fact that I tried to warn him, yet he would not listen.”“I have had all of these evidence for a long time now, I was simply waiting for the right time.” Brun

    Alison's eyes slowly opened, and she found herself lying on the couch.The living room was bright, as Alison always remembered and the television was still on, the news precisely, and Travis's face still covered the screen.Guards stood at strategic positions, their faces stern and alert."Where...where am I?" Alison stammered, her mind foggy. “I remember standing here just now, so why?”The remaining words got stuck in her throat when she sighted Karen sitting beside her with a concerned expression. "You passed out, and the maids wanted to call an ambulance, but I stopped them," Karen explained gently. “When did you get in here?” Alison asked, feeling a slight headache. “The last time we spoke you were on your way here.”“And that was more than an hour ago. I met you unconscious when I walked in here.” She tried softly.Alison's memories came flooding back, and she sat up with a start. "The news...Travis...the scandal?" she asked, her voice trembling. “They were all a dream, right?

    Alison woke up to an empty bedroom, the television still on, and Travis's stuff scattered around the room. “Travis,” she called and sat up in the bed. “Where did he go to this early?” She yawned and got out of bed, wondering why Travis had left for work without her. Her eyes darted to the clock and she was shocked at what time was. “It's 9 am already?” She gasped and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up.She got back to the room and there was still no sign of Travis, it seemed as though he had not even bee around.She finally decided to reached for her phone to call him. Since they began living together weeks ago, he has never gone to work without her, so why all of a sudden?“Is it probably because of what transpired last night?” She asked herself ad the moment she turned her screen on, but it was flooded with a lot of notifications.70 missed calls from Megan, Carlos, Karen, Drake, and other numbers. Alison's heart skipped a beat as she scrolled through the calls, but Travis's n

    The night had descended, casting a dark and foreboding shadow over Alison's apartment. She lay in bed, her body shivering under the duvet, despite the warmth of the room. Travis, sensing her distress, reached out and gently petted her hair, trying to calm her down."Hey, it's okay, Alison. Try to relax. You need to get some rest," Travis whispered softly. “And get a grip of yourself.”“Travis, I can't,” She whispered. “It's just that everything is happening so fast? Like it has already been planned from the onset and is simply playing out.”“How do you mean?” Travis asked, adjusting beside her. “Is there something else you know, that I am not aware of?”“Not exactly. But can't you read between the lines and see what I'm trying to say?” She asked, getting slightly frustrated as her gaze grew distant. “Travis, those men that have been trailing me definitely want something and it is obvious they'd stop at nothing to get it.”“Okay?” Travis raised an eyebrow getting even more confused. “B

    “Bruno darling, have you finally decided what you intend to do about Alison?” Mrs. Francisco asked, as she watched a television show with him. “I mean, if you wanted to do anything, then you should start doing it already.”“Mum, I'm planning something already,” he muttered, although he had his gaze fixed on the television, his mind was far away. “Just try as much as you can to stay away from it.”“Bruno, what about Theo? Are you still not going to let him feel your affection? The kid needs you.” She said, her eyes holding a glint of guilt.“Mum…” Bruno groaned. “Please allow me time to think, I already told you that I am not ready to unleash the version of me that the kid brings out.”“Clearly Bruno, you are neglecting the kid. Does that not bother you?” She asked again. “Look Bruno, I'm still a mother and I have the motherly affection in me. Letting Theo stay without your affection will definitely give Alison more grounds.”“Mum, I'm not in the right frame of mind for this conversati
