Outside the tall medical building, John gives a small whoop as he calls his driver to come pick him up out front.

He turns around and admires the glowing name out front. "Who would have known he was such a chill person?" He mutters to himself. His phone vibrates in his pocket and he picks it out.

"Hello?"

"How did it go?" The caller asks immediately, slight excitement in the voice.

"It went really well. With all of the rumors about how wicked and cruel he can be, he was actually pretty cool headed with me."

"That's exciting news. So where are you headed now?"

"I don't have plans, how about we meet over some food, and then I can go shopping for the missus with your help."

"You know I could never turn you down even when you bring up your wife."

John rolls his eyes, a lilting smile on his lips. "Come on, it's a happy day, don't be moody. Should we meet at Eclipse?"

"Give me an hour."

"I'll be waiting." He hangs up just as the car comes around, his exuberance is visible to everyone that h

    The next morning, Bethany joins them down at breakfast, a bit disgruntled. "You two are so against me. Why would you two make breakfast?"Arthur looks up while taking off the apron. "What breakfast?"Bethany cocks her head to the side. "Really?" She shakes her head in the direction of the apron that he only just discarded."Oh that? I was just helping to cut veggies."Martha rolls her eyes. "Fine then, if you're angry with being left out, help us set the table.""Finally, something to do."Martha and Arthur watch her go."She still hasn't gotten over feeling responsible for everything and every work that should be done?""I think that one will take a while. The first week of us living together, she woke up four am every morning without fail. She'd go cleaning, washing, mopping, makes breakfast and then I'll wake up to see all of that. I have staff to do all those things but she did it without fail.""Wow. That's as a result of...""When you do that for two to three years, it's bound t

    The late morning brings Bethany into the office, drove in by Arthur's car.He kisses her on the forehead before sending her off. "I don't know why you all like to do that.""The meaning behind a kiss on the forehead is... I'll tell you some other time. Go on in."She groans lightly and gets off. She stops and raises her hand with the intention to wave but then, she stops herself and just sends him off with a smile of her own.She turns around and looks up and down at the building once again, still a little bit feeling like a dream to her. She walks to the doors and pushes it open.The few employees loitering about or going about their business notice her and do small bows immediately.Bethany musters a smile for them and takes the elevator up, simple and not announcing her presence so a bunch of well built security men will accompany her up.Nope.The doors to the elevator opens and closes just as Jade exits her office through the glass double doors."Ma'am."

As he walks up the patio steps, he glances back to see the middle aged man reeling under the bags and just turns away to enter the house, completely looking over him.Daisy is waiting in the living room already. She might have been there all night, waiting.John struggles not to sigha and roll his eyes but he draws closer to her and kisses her on the cheeks. "Good afternoon honey. Why are you here?""Where else would I be?" She retorts, searching his face."Well, you know that is not what I meant. Why are you up this early?""Where were you all night? I had so many things to tell you but you just disappeared and did not pick all of your calls all night. Do you think that is fair? Can't I just go out too and disappear for the whole night? Bye because I am catering for your daughter, you think you can just waltz in and out of here and come back whenever you like? I tota

    Over dinner that night, Bethany lays in front of the duo two plates, both filled with Chinese fried rice on one side and a tomato sauce on the other. She drops the first two and goes to pick up the other two, putting them in front of herself.Arthur inhales and closes his eyes. "These smell so good. I'm pretty sure I can't measure up to you."Bethany chuckles. "Don't worry your head about that, you can't. So don't bother trying. I'll just manage to live by the one you cook."Arthur laughs. "So you can be a little self absorbed too? Hats off."She chuckles. "Please eat."After a while of eating and silence, Arthur breaks the silence. "So... How was work today?"Bethany looks up and chuckles. "It was fun?""Fun? Is work supposed to be fun? I'm pretty sure my employees are not calling their work fun outside."Bethany laughs. "You're quite the boss. I can tell you're the type they won't invite to weddings or dinners because they are scared you'll reduce their pay."Arthur laughs, setting

    The officer rudely pushes Charles into the large station and then into a chair in front of him.He removes his jacket and drapes it behind his chair before sitting down. He turns on the computer in front of him and looks at Charles who is momentarily distracted by the hubbub of activities going on."Hey Mr, look here." The officer calls him, slamming a book on the table to grab his attention. "What's your name?""Charles. Charles Worth.""What's the name of the man you had been beating?""Anthony Moore."The officer types it down. "So, what were you doing at Platonic?""We have a small hangout. We were on the same football team in college so it was like a small get together.""So, what happened? Why did you beat him unconscious?"Charles grits his teeth, massaging his wrists from the ache, noting the dried blood on his fists. "Well?""He made a comment about my wife... Hell, ex wife."The officer glances up at him and then looks back down, typing away on the computer what Charles is

    After the hour long plane ride, the plane lands on top of a tall and really high up building.Arthur holds Bethany firmly by the waist almost as though he's worried that the enormous fan blades, coupled with the heavy wind up there will sweep her away and over the edge.And until they descend into the building, he does not leave her alone.One is worried about the other, while the other is... Well, having fun."Come on." He takes her hand, and leads her to the elevator. There, he presses the ground floor button and the elevator slowly begins the ride down."So, this is my company.""What's the name?""I'll show you outside. You might have even heard of it. Your husband is a really rich man though." He winks at her and she laughs, her mind befuddled.She really knew nothing about him. He had a big company, all that he had said when they had first sat down to talk to one another. That's when he had told her that he's Daisy's younger brother and there are a few years between them and all

    "So... This is the lobby." Arthur says, spreading his arms out both ways and standing in front of her, but walking backwards. "Even I see that." Bethany comments, her mind still a bit muddled but she's struggling to push the invading thoughts to the back of her mind. "Ah, I see. This is not where the fun is? Come on, I'll take you up to my office." He takes her hand and walks her to another side of the lobby's large reception area. "Where are we going? That's the elevator right there?" Arthur smiles. "Come on, it's such a big place, do you think I take the same elevator as my employees?" He brags just as they round the corner to see the lone elevator there. Bethany smirks. "Such a proud boss, I'm pretty sure your employees don't see your face around." Arthur shrugs. "You can't blame me for that when I've got a private plane, considering I have to commute about two hours everyday, I do my work and head out. It's simple, they don't have to see me to do their work, right?" "Obnoxio

    John Worth sits at his desk, a complete mess, his head buried in his hands.His office, once the center of his confidence and power, now feels like a prison. He has nowhere to go and rest his head and worse, no one to go to for comfort. The weight of everything, the scandal with Sienna being his child, and the suffocating guilt of having an affair with her for years and now, she is dead, presses down on him, making it hard to breathe.But the worst part is the uncertainty, the part that he does not know.Had he been the one to kill her? He couldn’t remember.His mind is a fog of confusion, and the last few hours of that day with Sienna were nothing but a blur. He recalls the anger, the confrontation, but after that... it was all darkness.A shrill ring from his phone startled him, pulling him out of his confusing thoughts.John blinks, his hands shaking as he reaches for the device.

    The lights in Unique Auditing company flicker once, then slowly began to fade floor by floor, casting the building into darkness. Each level’s lights went off in sequence staring from the grund floor, leaving only the top floor illuminated, the faint glow cutting through the night surrounding the tall building.Up on that top floor, a figure sits motionless and unmoving in the CEO’s chair, waiting patiently.As the final lights went out, the entire building was plunged into silence and darkness.The figure rose slowly, pulling off a black mask that had been obscuring their face for the whole day. They rubbed their sore jaw, letting out a quiet sigh of relief as they stretched their stiff muscles. Sitting the whole day just to keep an identity hidden is a lot of work but the rewards make it entirely worth it.Reaching for the phone on the desk, they hesitate before turning on the flashlight.The beam of light was kept low, barely enough to illuminate the room but just perfect for what

    “Wonder why she went to go get groceries herself when I offered to help.” Arthur mutters to himself as he paces around his study.He had resorted to working from home as soon as Millicent’s pregnancy clocked four months, choosing to stay at home with her so she is not bored. And even though she has not been saying much lately, he still tries to make her laugh, which she does sometimes, and today, he has something planned for her.If it works out, she’ll have something to think back to and smile even till their Azalea actually becomes a living human baby.“Ugh… Waiting around is killing me. I should stroll over to her or something.” Impatient, Artur dons a casual white tee shirt and some denim pants, choosing to walk over there instead, to clear his head and get his thoughts in order.The baby’s coming has taken most of the toll on Millicent but he has also made some sacrifices, even having to turn billions worth of contracts away because he can’t leave his wife at the doctor’s and lea

You look pale? Did something happen?”Millicent is too speechless to say a anything and just hands him the piece of paper, which turns out to be a pregnancy test.“I am four weeks gone. A month. I thought I just had a simple cold, nausea, of course sometimes we get nauseated and shit. But pregnancy? There is a baby growing inside me?” Millicent mutters to no one in particular.Arthur, on the other hand, is happy for the news. Their family will now be complete after all. He picks her up from the ground in a hug and twirls her around. His joy for the pregnancy overshadowing hers by miles. “This

    Years ago at Stanford University, a much younger Arthur Worth rushes across the campus grounds, his backpack slung over one shoulder and his books tucked under his arm. He’s already running late for his lecture and barely notices the bustling crowd of students around him as he walks through and around them, just trying to make it to class on time.As he nears the lecture building, his mind preoccupied with the material he’s about to study, Arthur doesn’t see the girl approaching from the opposite direction who is laughing at something she is listening to… Until it’s too late.Crash!They collide at the foot of the stairs, and suddenly everything is a blur. Books, papers, and even a cup of coffee go flying into the air. The next thing Arthur knows, he’s on the ground, his belongings scattered across the floor, and warm coffee stains spread across his shirt.“Damn it.” He mutters, looking down at the mess. His eyes then land on the girl, who’s already on her knees, frantically picking u

    “Set up the camera properly.” She order bitterly, her eyes downcast as she watches Tina do the set up. The younger woman has a small smile on her face to show that in the end, she’ll triumph. She had told her not to do anything crazy anyway and she went ahead to instigate the world against a poor woman just because of her obsession and now she has been put, rudely, in her place.“Are you done?” Millicent asks her, a sharp edge to her tone.Tina nods, stepping back. “Do you want me to hand you the note once again so you can revise?”“No, its fine. I know what I want to say already.”“Camera rolling… Three, two… one. Go.”Millicent is an actress so it would be entirely weird if she is not able to put up an act. As she raises her head to stare into the recording camera, her eyes are slightly drooped at the sides to give an illusion of tiredness and then stay pretty at the same time.Tina snickers inaudibly.“Good afternoon fans out there, I am Millicent Atkinson.

    Bethany stands in the hospital corridor, her hand resting on the elevator button. She had previously planned to head over to Arthur’s in just a random visit but then there’s the distance and it can’t be arranged just randomly like that so instead of going to her own office to face those insisting protesters, something in her gut tells her to check on her brother, Mason, instead.She’s already at the hospital anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt to drop by, he’d probably be even more disappointed to hear that she came by the hospital and did not check up on him. After all, it had been a priority to visit but she had never gotten around and visited his office, and with everything going on, she just feels the need to see how he’s holding up.They haven’t met since that night he ruined her dinner.And it’s been a while since she has been able to visit her mum too, even though she makes to call her every day, she should ask about her from Mason as well and help her pass on her regards, she should g

    Kevin Fitzpatrick walks into the towering glass building of Unique Auditing with a feeling of purpose. His steps are confident as opposed to the ones he had when he had been thrown out of Campbell, as he makes his way through the lobby, exchanging nods with a few familiar faces, but he wastes no time in heading straight for the elevator.
