In the conference room, Simon walked over to his designated seat, a scowl on his face.

"You look like someone just stoned you." William Blake, his personal assistant, said, noticing the awkward glances from those who walked in after Simon.

"How long is this supposed to take?" Simon grunted, picking up his phone.

"Uhm, about four hours. You already knew that. What’s wrong? Or rather, did something happen?" William asked.

"It's of no significance," Simon muttered.

"But it seems to bother you, so I wouldn’t call it significant," William stated.

"Drop it, okay?" Simon shot him a sharp look, which cut the conversation short.

The event host took to the stage, beaming with a smile as she said, "Good day, everyone. Thank you all for being here. It is such an honor to welcome such a distinguished guest."

After a brief recognition of key organizations and an introduction of the judges, the host’s tone shifted.

"And now, I have an exciting announcement. We have the honor of presenting a

    The door to the conference room burst open as people filed out, signaling the end of the meeting. There was an amused look on the faces of some, while some of the attendants looked puzzled. "What just happened in there?" Someone in the crowd murmured. "I have no idea; it looked kind of heated to me," another person said. Nancy's brows were squeezed in confusion as her ear picked up the murmurs. "For a moment I thought those two were going to tear each other apart," another person murmured as they passed. "I'm sure she has lost the deal," Nancy muttered to herself, standing up from her seat in triumph. She remembered her words to Michael—'She 'will definitely lose this deal.' Nancy's lips spread in satisfaction as she remembered those words. Despite her earlier shock at seeing Anna, she knew there was no way Simon, being a member of the judge, was going to let her win. "Who knew that would eventually be the winner? That was the highlight for me tonight, especially with the way

    "Hhngh!" Anna yelped as her back hit the door. The room was dark and small; a tall, looming figure stood before her, forcing her to lift her head to see who it was. For a moment, that night flashed before Anna's face as she felt the taste of the sea in her mouth. Instinctively, Anna closed her eyes, trying to block out the thought. "What the h*ll do you think you are doing?" Anna's eyes snapped open at the voice, all her fear turning into anger as she recognized it. She looked up, the sound of their heavy breathing echoing in the tense silence between them as she tried to see his face in the dimly lit room. "What the h*ll do you think you are doing?" She shouted at him. "You should answer me first," Simon replied, his voice ice cold, as he stood very close to her. "If you weren't trying to look so pissed, I'd say you know the answer to that," Anna responded. She pulled herself away from the door, but Simon refused to step back, and Anna refused to give him the satisfaction of

    "For a minute there, I thought you were actually going to start a fight with the judge." Natasha muttered as they all got into the car. "Well, it's a good thing everything turned out nicely at the end," Clayton sighed in relief. Clayton glanced over at Anna through the rearview mirror; seeing her staring daggers at him made him cast his eyes back to the road. "You...you did good, Anna," Clayton stuttered, trying to keep his cool. "I had to be to save your a** right," Anna mumbled and flipped a hand through her hair as she glanced out the window of the car. The afternoon sky was clear as birds chirped in the distance, creating a peaceful atmosphere inside the car. The tension from earlier seemed to dissipate as they drove away from the event center. "Clayton, I think it's high time you spill," Anna muttered, turning her eyes back to him. "You're pretty much going to find out everything, but I think the most important one is the fact that I'm about to go bankrupt," Clayton mutter

    “Mom!” Jayden shouted, running towards them.Clayton scratched the back of his head, unable to meet Anna’s gaze. Natasha looked from Clayton to Anna, shaking her head as she realized he had once again lied about something.“We’ll talk about this later,” Anna said, her voice ice cold in a whisper.As soon as Jayden wrapped his hand around her legs, Anna turned and picked him up with a big smile and said, “Hello sweetheart.”She kissed him on the cheeks and carried the rest of the distance to Loveth. Jasmine and James were busy playing with a set of puzzles.“Mom, see what Grandma gave to us,” James said with a grin.“Hmm, hmm, I see,” Anna muttered as she set Jayden down.Loveth stood up, pulled Anna by the hand, and without saying a word, she pulled her into a tight hug.Anna sighed, breathing in the familiar scent, which was Loveth. It was one of the things that kept her sane after her rescue five years ago.“How are you, Loveth?” Anna asked as she finally pulled away.“Mom, I’m righ

    Simon walked past him, his hands clenched in a fist, as he walked straight into his office. “Seems you haven’t found any solution; that’s interesting,” Gideon told Williams as they walked into the office behind Simon. “How do you preside over the competition and still announce her as the winner?” Gideon asked as he had his seat on one of the couches in the room. “Why did you approve such bullshit?” Simon shouted, turning to face Gideon suddenly. “Hey, it’s not b*llshit, it’s the truth, at least the way I know it,” Gideon responded with a shrug. Simon extended his hand towards Williams, who passed him the tab, knowing instinctively that was what he wanted. “The Parker Group acknowledges the presence of Vectra in the state and hopes to work with her despite the bad blood between her and our CEO. I hope today’s heated moments do not leave a dent in our future relationship,” Simon read out of the news publication. “Hey, I didn’t say it that way; it was probably taken out of context

    At the Fisher family house, Jasmine pulled her hand from James's lips as she said, “Mom is going to hear you.”“Oops, sorry,” James said with a cheeky smile as he looked up, hoping that their mother was indeed not listening to them.“When do we start?” Jayden asked.“Let’s go to our room,” Jasmine whispered.They all stood up, tiptoeing on their little feet up the stairs.“What are you three planning again?” Billy said from behind them.They all turned back, grinned at her, and replied together, “Nothing.”Billy narrowed her eyes at them, shaking her head as she responded, “I don’t believe it’s nothing.”“Hmm, we were going to our room,” Jayden stated, hoping that was enough to convince her.Billy knew how mischievous the triplets were, especially when they smiled at you so sweetly.“I hope you are not going to blow up flour in the kitchen like you did back at home,” Billy muttered, folding her hand on her chest, still not convinced.Jasmine placed her two hands on her chest and repli

    “Nobody is going to say anything about that night,” John snapped at Cordelia.At the sound of the shattered glass, the housekeeper ran out hurriedly and got it cleaned up.“Dad, aren’t you worried she is back? Did you know she was going to be back?” Nancy asked.“Of course not, why would I know and still go ahead with what we did?” John asked.Cordelia’s face was pale, like she had seen a ghost, as she was still shaken by the news.“Mom, she is working with the Gary group now and most likely might take my job because she is the popularly known Vectra,” Nancy stated.“What? Anna?” Cordelia exclaimed in shock.“Don’t you need to call him? I mean, this was not what we bargained for,” Nancy said, looking at her father.“I said nobody speaks about that! Did you hear a word I said? He is not someone to be taken lightly, and I am not going to repeat myself,” John shouted, standing up and walking away.“Why is Dad so on edge?” Nancy asked, her brows pulled up in question.“Nancy, look at me,”

    “Simon! There are kids at the table!” Noah cautioned.Mia looked scared at the harsh exchange of words, unable to fully understand why her uncle was angry.“Bridget!” Sophia called, signaling for her children’s nanny.“Could you please take Mia and Bryan upstairs?” Sophia asked.“Okay, Mrs. Harold, Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Parker,” Bridget said with a smile as she took the kids.“Uncle Simon, are you leaving?” Mia asked.“I’ll be up to see you before I go pumpkin,” Simon replied.“Okay,” Mia responded with a smile as she followed Bridget up the stairs.“What was that for Simon? You didn’t have to get so pissed.” Sophia said after a few minutes of silence.“You didn’t have to mention…” Simon muttered, trailing off.“Okay, everyone, please calm down; Simon must be more shocked than we all are,” Mia Parker said, smiling at Simon.Simon sighed, got up from the table, and walked over to the living room. Sophia called out for one of the kitchen staff to clear the table as they went back to th

    “F*ck!! Why does everything have to fall apart simply because she is in town?” Simon said in frustration.“Which is why the fact that Anna is working with the Gary group puts us at a great disadvantage,” Noah stated.Simon’s eyes hardened as he replied, “I know, but how can the Crawford Foundation do this to us? We have been partners for the last ten years, and now they are willing to open our spot simply because Anna is in town?”“As head of operations, I can tell you it’s going to impact our operations significantly if we do not get the Crawford grant this year. I’m sure we can survive without it, but it’s going to be on a very tight rope,” Noah stated, sitting down on one of the couches.“We can survive without them, but having their name as one of our clients is also an advantage beyond the money they invest,” Simon muttered, rubbing his temple.He could feel the onset of a headache as he thought about it. Then his mind drifted to his encounter with Anna a few hours ago.I am going

    “William what are you looking at I asked if you know anything about what Steve just said?” Simon called out again.William looked up from his phone and replied, “Hmm, sorry, I was not following. What is wrong?”“Sophia said there is a flyer going around with little Mia’s picture on it. Who authorized the dissemination of the program flyer without my knowledge?” Simon asked.“Hmm, we didn’t make use of little Mia’s picture, and I was going to show you a sample of the design once we got back to the office. I’m not sure how there is a flyer going out already,” William explained.Simon turned to Steve and said, “Tell Sophia not to worry; I’ll sort things out.”Steve spoke with Sophia for another two minutes before finally ending the call.“She is not really concerned that you used little Mia’s picture; she just wanted to know if you were the one who authorized it since she knows how careful you are bringing family into work,” Steve explained.“William, ask the marketing team; I want to kn

    Simon pulled Anna into the hall, bolting the door behind them.They were standing alone in the long hallway, staring at each other. Everything seems to fall away as they become only conscious of each other.“What the h*ll do you think you are doing?” Anna snapped at him.“You tell me; looks like you really are back to make me miserable,” Simon stated.“I am going to make you miserable, Simon,” Anna shouted.Simon paced, flipping a hand through his hair as he turned back to her and asked, “Why Michael?”“That is none of your f*cking business, Parker!” Anna snapped, folding her hand on her chest.“Yes, it is, if you insist on staying back in town. If you keep this up, the media is going to get interested, and soon it will be everywhere that you were once married to me!” Simon exclaimed.“And why should I give a damn about that?” Anna asked, her left brow raised in“For f*ck sake, Anna, don’t play dumb with me.

    “Anna, what are you talking about?” Clayton asked, smiling nervously as he looked from Michael to her.“Hello, Mr.?” Anna said, trailing off as she extended her hand to the client.Michael coughed slightly and introduced, “Mr. Harry, this is Anna Howard, known as Vectra within the industry. Anna, this is Mr. Harry Connor, CEO, Connor Media.”Anna smiled, keeping her hand stretched as she said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Connor.”Connor smiled in response and took her hand as he replied, “Hello Vectra, it’s an honor to meet you. I had no idea you were the one working on the issue. I guess you’re also the one behind the resolution.”“Well, you could call it a teamwork,” Anna responded, glancing at Nancy.“I don’t know what deal you want to make with me, but I already scheduled a meeting with the Parker group,” Connor responded.“Oh, I’m sure if you take ten minutes of your time to meet with me, you won’t regret it,” Anna responded.The room was quiet for a few seconds as Connor thought

    Simon looked at the screen for a few seconds and still didn’t see what it was that Steve was staring at.“What are you seeing?” Simon asked.Hillary shook her head and said, “We’ve been looking at that video for the past fifteen minutes, and we didn’t’ find anything.”“There is an inscription at the base of that video; can you get someone to check that out?” Steve asked Hillary, pointing at the screen.Hillary looked in the direction he pointed, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion just before her eyes widened in shock.She snapped her finger and addressed the room, “I want everyone to check out the video on the fifth minute; it’s at the tail end of the video.”While the team got to work, Simon turned to Steve, his right eye squinted at him.“What?” Steve asked.“How did you find that?” Simon asked.“You’ve got my eagle eye to thank; in forensics, you’ve got to have an eye to catch things people don’t see,” Steve winked at him.“Oh, please,” Simon murmured, waving his hand at him in dis

    “What is wrong, Nat? Can you speak up? You’re getting me more worried with your silence,” Anna said, eyes narrowed at Nat.“Hmm, no, Clayton said something came up at one of the Gary client’s sites, and he had to go with Michael when he sent someone to get you.” Nat explained.“Okay, that does not sound like an emergency,” Anna responded.“No, it’s not, but that’s not the main issue,” Nat stated.“What is it then?” Anna asked.“So, the client is the topmost paying client of the Gary group, and if they lose them, it’s going to be a disaster,” Nat explained.“That’s bad. What is the situation over there?” Anna asked, her expression becoming more serious.“Hmm, I'm not so sure,” Nat replied.“Was it a critical network outage?” Anna asked.“Yes, it is; their entire communication system is down,” Nat responded.“And did the team check to see if this was caused by a malicious activity?” Anna asked.“That I am not sure about.

    Jasmine and James stared at the screen of the tab Jayden held up to them.“Jayden, what is that?” Jasmine asked, pointing at the words he had typed.“What?” Jayden asked in defense.James suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at the screen and laughing the more.“Why are you laughing?” Jayden asked, pouting as his small eyes narrowed at his brother.“You can’t tell Dad that we are his children,” James pointed out.Jayden had written, Dad, don’t make Mummy cry; we are not happy with you.Jasmine shook her head and took the tab from him, clearing away the words he had written.“You do it then; I’m sure you cannot do it,” Jayden stated, sticking out his tongue at James.James's smile suddenly vanished as he replied, “I can, I can.”“No, you cannot,” Jayden continued to tease him.“Jasmine, I am going to write it,” James stated.“No, nobody is writing it again. I will write it,” Jasmine refused.She placed the tab on the bed again and typed out a few words. Picked it up and showed it to t

    Simon drew in a breath, his eyes darkening with anger and pain as he looked at Steve.“I am not talking about that,” Simon muttered.Steve stopped, brushed a hand through his hair, and replied, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring that up.”Simon looked away, staring out the window of the moving car. The event of five years ago was not something he liked to talk about.“She is just worried about you,” Steve said again.“I know, but can you please tell Sophia I’m not a child?” Simon asked, closing his eyes as he let go of all the pain.“Sophia isn’t someone you can joke with, especially when she has her mind on something,” Steve muttered.“She has you so much in her finger, huh?” Simon stated, turning calm eyes towards Steve.Steve sighed and replied with a grin, “I’m a fool for love, my friend. I have no choice but to do her bidding.”“Hmm, hmm, I can see that, but really I’m fine. Can everyone just understand that?” Simon asked.“You know there is no point in telling them that; they wo

    By the time Nat and Anna got back to the office, they didn't find Clayton in the office. Nat had waited for Anna at the rooftop elevator, not wanting to leave her alone."He must have left early," Nat said with a shrug.Anna cast a glance at her with a shake of her head as she headed to her desk."What? It's possible; we both know he does not really have a knack for hard work," Nat stated, sitting down.Anna didn't respond as they both got back to work, with Anna constantly catching Nat's eyes straying to the door and Clayton's table."You know you can just call him," Anna said, after about thirty minutes of silence."Why?" Nat asked."I mean, you obviously feel guilty about what happened," Anna muttered, looking up from the document in front of her."Guilty? Me? Of course not," Nat murmured with a roll of her eye."We both know you were kind of harsh with your words, Nat. And before you say more, I know Clayton can be a handful, and we both probably still blame him for all that has h
