As soon as Layla left the room, Bruno turned to Enzo and Marco, his expression uneasy. "I don't know if I'm comfortable with this," he said, his voice low. “I mean…her reaction and stuff are all weird and it's crazy kind of.”

Enzo raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, Bruno? I don't think it should be so much of a big deal…observing the matter critically, it's quite obvious that this is a two way thingy.”

“What are you fears exactly?” Enzo asked too, by now, the two men had their gazes fixed solely on Bruno.”

Bruno hesitated, unsure how to articulate his concerns. "I just don't trust her," he said finally. “There's something else up her sleeves.”

“I think there's something you're missing here.” Enzo said with a chuckle. "You don't have to trust her, Bruno. You just have to use her."

Bruno's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

Enzo leaned forward, his eyes glinting with amusement. "She's the one who got our bar and club released, remember? She's got connections, Bruno. And she's willin

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    Back To Work.

    Alison stepped into the office, her eyes scanning the familiar space. After skipping work yesterday, she knew she couldn't keep avoiding Travis every single time by skipping work. The fluorescent lights overhead seemed to hum in sync with her pounding heart. She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the lingering anxiety from the events of the last weeks. As she settled into her office, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from her Aunt Megan. Alison settled into her chair, cradling the phone between her ear and shoulder. "Hey, Aunt Megan," she said, trying to sound cheerful. "Hey, sweetie," Megan replied, her voice warm and comforting. "How's everything going? How was your day?" Alison hesitated, "It's been... interesting. I mean it only just began.” Megan's tone turned sympathetic. "Oh, baby, what's going on? You can tell me." Alison sighed, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. "It's just...Travis and I...we're trying to figure things out. His mom is being really diffi

    “Get the whole documents across to Blain group and ensure you meet the CEO directly,” Bruno said and glanced at his watch, surprised to see that it was already noon. “I'm done with the mails too, let Wayne know about that so that the necessary things can be put in place.” His secretary bowed and walked out of the office with an expression less expression. “Okay, that was a whole lot,” Bruno murmured. He had been working non-stop since morning, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. Just as he was about to take a break, his assistant buzzed him, announcing the arrival of his wife, Rachel. Bruno's eyes narrowed, his instincts telling him to be cautious, considering that it's been ages she last showed up here. Rachel's behavior had been erratic lately, and he wasn't sure what to expect from her. He watched as she walked in, a bright smile plastered on her face, a container of food in her hands. "Hey Knjght, I brought you lunch," she said, her voice cheerful. “Your favour

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    From Her Diary.

    The sound of laughter and music filled the air as Alison and Travis made their way through the crowded gala. They were done with work for the day, and after settling their disagreement, a memo for a dinner that had been planned for a long time suddenly got Travis's attention so he asked Alison to be his date. They walked through the crowd as a stunning couple, Alison's red dress perfectly complementing Travis's tailored tuxedo. As they mingled with the other guests, Alison couldn't help but feel so free and normal. “It's been a long time since I've been to this kind of gathering.” Travis smiled, then turned to her "You look stunning tonight, I didn't think the dress was going to suit you this well." he said, his eyes burning with intensity. “Lady Anne did a good job.” He had taken her shopping after work, and told Lady Anne to do what she knows best, and this moment one thing he could boast of, is being proud of her. Alison's cheeks flushed as she smiled back at him. "Thanks, yo

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    Softie.

    The energy in the mansion had been awkward for over a week now, the tension between Bruno and his mother was clearly obvious. They had barely spoken to each other since the incident with Alison, and the silence was starting to feel oppressive. Despite that Bruno promised his mum that that were going to talk when he got back from the meeting the last time, he literally ignored her afterwards. Bruno's mother, Mrs. Francisco, sat in the living room, her eyes fixed on her son as he entered the room. She looked older, her face lined with worry and concern. "Bruno, I wanted to talk to you," she said, her voice hesitant. “But it seems that you've been avoiding me.” Bruno turned to her, fighting the urge to scoff. "What is it, Mother?" Mrs. Francisco took a deep breath before speaking. "I wanted to apologize for my behavior the other day. I know I was harsh with Alison." Bruno's expression remained neutral, his eyes searching for any sign of sincerity. "You have strong feelings about her

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    Visiting Megan.

    Travis lay in bed, his eyes fixed on the bathroom door as he listened to the sound of Alison moving around inside. He couldn't help but feel satisfied as he thought about their encounter the night before. As the bathroom door opened, Travis's eyes locked onto Alison's figure, wrapped in a plush white towel. Her hair was damp, and her skin glowed with a soft, radiant light. "Hey," Travis said, his voice low and husky as he sat up in bed. “Good morning Angel.” Alison's eyes met his, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Hey," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Travis's eyes roamed over her body, taking in the sight of her wrapped in the towel. "You look beautiful," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity. “And attractive, and gosh…words cannot express how I really feel.” “Stop flattering me Travis.” Alison's whispered, her cheeks flushed with color. "Thanks.” Travis threw off the covers and got out of bed, his eyes never leaving Alison's face. "Come here," he whisp

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    Family Mansion.

    The morning air was chill, quite chill and sending off waves of peace to the ones around their loved ones, and loneliness to the people who were all by themselves. For Alison and Travis, the warmth they felt in their hearts was a total contrast to the cold breeze looming outside, despite the fact that they were only speaking over the phone. "Come on, Travis, tell me where we are going," Alison said, her curiousity obvious in her voice. “I've been trying to get this from you for a while, please just tell me.” Travis chuckled. "You're not getting it out of me that easily. I'm never even speaking of it, don't try to force it.” Alison raised an eyebrow. "I'm not trying to torture it out of you. I just want to know where I'm going." Travis's smile turned enigmatic. "Let's just say it's a surprise." Alison's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "A surprise, huh? You're really doing a good job in building up the suspense." Travis leaned back in his seat, his eyes shut. "Maybe I just want to s

    As the car came to a stop in front of Travis's family mansion, Alison's eyes widened in horror. "No, no, no," she whispered, her voice trembling with fear, and her body visibly trembling. Travis's eyes locked onto hers. "Alison, what's wrong? You're shivering.” “So this is why you wouldn't tell me where we were headed right?” Alison snapped, her eyes flashing with accusation. "You brought me here on purpose, didn't you? You brought me to your family's mansion to humiliate me." “Wait what?” Travis asked, his face falling and his eyes filling with denial. "No, Alison, that's not true. I would never do that to you." But Alison was beyond reason. She shook her head, her voice rising. "You're just like your family, Travis. You think you're better than me, don't you?" Travis's face twisted in pain. "Alison, stop. That's not true. I love you, and I would never intentionally want to hurt you." Alison's laughter was bitter. "Love me? I doubt that Travis." She muttered her voice defensive

    The room erupted into chaos after Travis's announcement, Raquel's face turned bright red with rage. “How dare Travis announce that poor stinking bitch to the entire world as his woman,” she spat and smashed her glass of drink on the floor, the sound of shattering glass echoing through the room. "You're unbelievable, Travis! And I swear I'll make you pay, together with the entire Rodrigos.” she spat, before turning on her heel and storming out of the room. Delaney, on the other hand, looked like she had been slapped. Her eyes were wide with embarrassment, and her face was pale. Did he really say that out loud. Her husband, Alan, noticed her distress and walked over to her. “Hey cupcake. Ignore Travis, you know he's always been like that.” Delaney shut him an angry glare. “Always been like what?” “You know…bossy, controlling and rude.” He replied and wrapped his hands over her waist. “But I… I'm the right guy and that's all that matters.” She pushed his hands off her waist angri

  • BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR    Proposing To Alison.

    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. I can't watch her in that

    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

    After running over Theo, the person behind the wheels smirked triumphantly and drove off without bothering to wait.When he had gotten to a reasonable distance away from them, he pulled the mask over his face revealing Spider.“Too bad, the little boy had to pay for the sins of his parents.” He repeated Raquel's words from the last time and then dialed her number.She answered on the first ring.“Hey spider, what's good? Did you succeed?” She asked, panic obvious in her voice.“You don't trust me?” He asked proudly. “To think that they made things easier for me, I didn't have to trail or…”“You're saying the kid is dead already, right?” Raquel cut him off impatiently. “Not yet, but with the level of harm I caused, I doubt he will survive it.” He reported.“Are you already on your way back here?” Raquel asked, and he could hear a hint of disdain in her voice.“Why asking?” He asked back.“Don't come back to the Cartel yet.

    **ONE WEEK LATER**“Travis, do you think I am a bad mother?” Alison asked, one morning before breakfast. She was seated before her mirror, staring at her expression, while Travis sat on the bed behind her, working on his laptop.“Where is this coming from?” He asked, clearly shocked by her question. “This is not about Theo, is it?”“It's him, and I just can't help it.” She muttered, then a tear slid down her eyes. “He does not seem happy, I have tried my best.”“He will come around very soon, it's not so easy moving away, and then blending in with new people just immediately, try to understand him.” Travis explained, keeping his laptop aside.“It's been a whole week already, Travis! I spent years praying for the day when he would finally be by my side, and call me mom without interruption. I longed to hold him in my arms and play with him…” she chocked on her tears, swallowing the bile that rose to her throat. “And now that I finally got the chance to do so, he isn't even happy.”“Hav
