It was 3 pm when she woke up and searched her room for her phone but couldn’t find it. She tried to remember where she put it and went to her car to find it but found nothing.

She heaved a sigh when she realized that she probably left it at Howard’s house. She has no choice but to pick up her car keys and drive back to Howard’s.

“Good afternoon, ma’am,” the same maid greeted her.

“Hi, did you happen to see my phone?” she asked.

“Mr. Howard came here a while ago and I gave it to him. He told me he’ll just drop it in your office.”

 “This is exhausting,” she murmured and drove back to her building.

She reached her office after 10 minutes of driving and went straight to her secretary’s desk.

“Did Mr. Clemente drop my phone here?” she asked.

“Yes ma’am. He’s actually waiting for you in your office right now.”<

He knew that Jacob will make a move to destroy him but he did not expect him to do this. His brother is aware that he will not sell it, especially to him.“Huh.

He lost his mind,” he exclaimed.“But, sir, don’t you think it is odd?” James told him.Howard tilt his head and looked at him. “What do you mean?”“Jacob is back but he is not even making an effort to visit you. He is not doing anything against you. He is too quiet.”Howard placed his hands at the top of his desk and intertwined it. “You are right. I am wondering about that too. We won

    Natasha started to realize what is happening. She was too blind not to see it coming. Jacob changed his name, that was the reason why she could not find nor trace him. Huh. Inno Pavel. Where did he even get that name? She thought about him all night and how he managed to still grow a business despite what he had experienced. His company suffered in bankruptcy. He was framed into a murder case. Everybody turned him down. No one dared to help him during that time. She was surprised that he was able to manage all of it at once and still get back up.Now, what? What will happen that he is back?Should something change? Of course, not. She is happy now. Or is she, really? If she already moved on, then why did the world seems to stop a second the moment she saw Jacob’s face again? Why did she feel a void inside her? Why did she suddenly remember the moments they have shared together?She embraced herself and tears roll down her cheeks when she recalled the time she caught him cheating with
