“Looks like you are hiding something,” Paul said, moving closer to the table.

Noah unfolded his arm and responded, “I am not hiding anything, Paul, for God’s sake. Are you always going to be this paranoid whenever you don’t get to have a say?”

“Yes, I am, and more, Noah, tell Simon he is to know his place and seek counsel if he does not want all this to go bad for him.” Paul responded.

“Know my place?” Simon's voice echoed from behind them.

They all looked back to see Simon walk into the office. So engrossed were they by their conversation that they didn’t hear the door open.

“Hmm, Simon, Paul, and Gideon were just about to leave,” Noah stated, raising his brow at Paul.

They stared at each other silently for a few seconds just before Paul turned to Simon and said, “What is the promotional offer for?”

“Damn it, Paul, we already talked about this.” Noah cursed, knowing fully well that discussing it with Simon was not a good idea.

“Hmm, what else could it be for if not to get more client

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: The Triplet’s Revenge    A Reminder

    Anna looked from Nat to Clayton and asked, “If you are going to speak in riddles, then maybe don't speak at all.”“Clayton, if it is something that is going to help us, then you should say it. We all agreed you would not keep any secrets from us again, didn’t we?” Nat stated.“So, it is common knowledge around here that the Hawthorne’s have a close tie to the Parker group," Clayton stated.Anna was silent, trying not to show how pissed she was by that information even though she already knew. That was more reason she was h*ll bent on ensuring they lost the bid this year.“Are you sure? You mean the same judge Anna irked at the last event?” Nat asked in shock.“Yes, and if rumors are to be believed, it’s not just an ordinary connection.” Clayton replied.Nat and Clayton turned to look at Anna, waiting for her to say something.“You don’t look surprised.” Clayton muttered; his eyes narrowed at Anna.“You already know?” Nat asked.Anna nodded, moving to the board, which had been placed t

    For a moment, Lily’s face filled her mind, from her gentle smile to her eyes. Anna’s’ knuckles turned white from holding onto the desk.“Can we please not talk about this?” Clayton said, staring at Nat.“It’s not like I want to talk about it, but he just had to come do that right before us,” Nat responded.“For f*ck’s sake!” Clayton exclaimed, flipping a hand through his hair.“Shut the f*ck up! The both of you!” Anna shouted, slamming her fist down on the table.Nat and Clayton turned to look at her, having been too engrossed in their argument to notice the change in her face.“Anna? Are you alright?” Nat asked.Anna shook her head, picked up her phone, and walked out of the office. Being back in New Jersey suffocated her. She walked into the elevator and headed for the rooftop.She needed some fresh air, something to ease the pain. She had set a reminder for Lily’s birthday, a small way for her to remember and celebrate her.“I’m sorry, Lily,” Anna muttered as she walked out of the

    Simon looked up while William turned back at the sudden burst of the door.“Who is that?” William called out just before he saw it was Gideon.Simon’s brows went up in confusion as he saw Gideon walking towards him.“What do you want, Gideon? I am busy at the moment,” Simon stated.“F*ck you, Simon Parker!” Gideon shouted.“Whatever this is, I’m sure it can wait,” Simon responded just as Gideon got to his desk.“No, it cannot,” Gideon shouted.From all indications, all h*ll was about to break loose, and there was no telling how it was going to turn out.“We have had a discussion today, William. I am not in the fr*aking mood to deal with you again today,” Simon said.“Well, f*cker, you have no choice but to deal with this now!” Gideon shouted.He looked so pissed his nose was flaring with his eyes locked on Simon like a loaded gun.“Hmm, I will be outside if you need me,” William said, turning to leave the office.“Stay right there,” Simon said, his voice ice cold.William turned back

    “Good morning, Grandma,” Jayden said with a grin that morning as Rosa served them breakfast.“My lovelies, how are you guys?” Loveth said with a grin as she kissed them on their heads.“Fine, Grandma,” Jasmine replied.“That’s good to know; this house is less as quiet as a graveyard since you guys arrived,” Loveth muttered happily.“I’m sure you love that, Mrs. Fisher,” Rosa responded with a grin.“Of course, who wouldn’t love them? Just look at how cute they look,” Loveth said proudly.The triplets grinned, knowing how cute they looked, while Loveth and Rosa stared at them. They had breakfast, which was made up of bread and tea with a plate of omelet to go.“Can we go check it now?” Jayden whispered to Jasmine.Jasmine leaned close to him and placed a hand on his ears as she replied, “Shhh, Grandma is going to hear you.”“What are you two whispering about?” Loveth asked them.“Nothing, Grandma,” Jasmine said with a broad grin.“Okay, if you say so,” Loveth stated.After about twenty m

    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

    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

    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

    “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.

    “What are you looking at?” Nat asked, looking in the same direction.Anna blinked as the person she had seen a few seconds ago was no longer there.“She was just there,” Anna muttered.“Who was where?” Nat asked.Anna looked confused as she looked around, thinking maybe she had been mistaken.“She was just right…” Anna mumbled, tailing off.“Who exactly did you…” Nat started to ask“Don’t worry about it, let’s just go. I thought I saw someone I knew,” Anna stated.They left the hospital, driving out of the compound, but Anna kept looking in the side mirror.She was sure it had been her from five years ago. She shook her head, deciding there was no point in dwelling on it.“I guess you want to go to work,” Nat stated.“Yes, I do,” Anna replied.“Well, we’ll have it your way, but I am monitoring from now on,” Nat said.Anna smiled and replied, “That’s good to hear.”By the time they made it to the Gary head office, it was noon. They had returned to the house so Anna could change before

    Nat slammed down on the brakes so fast they heard the tires screech to a halt.“What’s wrong? What’s going on over there?” Clayton asked, his voice filled with confusion.Anna couldn’t breathe; her eyes were drawn wide in horror as she stared at the car in front of them.“Why the h*ll would that fool stop right in the middle of a bridge?” Nat said in anger.“Who stopped where? Where are you guys?” Clayton asked,Anna closed her eyes, trying to breathe as memories of the past came washing over her.Nat placed her hand on the doorknob and glanced over at Anna before she could open the door.“Anna?” She called, noticing the pale look on her face.When she got no response, she reached out for her and called again, “Anna? Breathe.”Taking hold of her hand, she forced herself to look at her, breathing with her until Anna could let go and breathe out.“Wait here, I’ll be right back,” Nat said when she was sure that Anna had calmed down.Anna placed a hand on her arm and said, “No, let’s go.”

    The next day, Anna rolled out of bed, feeling like she had run a marathon throughout the night.She remembered Loveth giving a vague answer to her question about knowing Clayton's whereabouts.“Anna? Don’t tell me you are still in bed,” Nat called out as she opened Anna’s door and walked in.“What time is it?” Anna askedNat walked over to the window and pulled open the blinds, casting the room in the glow of the morning sun.Anna squinted against the ray and asked, “What time is it?”“It’s nine in the morning; at first I thought you were going to get a little more sleep past your usual time,” Nat replied.“What?” Anna asked, trying to stand up.“Yes, my love, are you sure you didn’t take more than the wine you had last night?” Nat asked, folding her hand on her chest.“No, hmm, did Clayton return last night?” Anna asked.“I don’t know; I didn’t stay up waiting for him either,” Nat replied.Anna stood up and felt her body pulled back down as she sat back on the bed.“Are you alright?”

    “Can we not do this?” Sophia said to Mia, who was busy scattering a set of tissues in the car.“Mia, listen to your mom,” Steve said, looking at her through the rearview mirror.It was a family dinner night, and it was at the Parker family house. Sophia smiled at him as she finally took the tissue from Mia.“Grandma!” Little Mia shouted as they walked through the door a few seconds later.“That’s my little girl,” Mia grinned as little Mia ran into her arms.“I didn’t think you guys were going to make it down,” Noah said, smiling.“Of course we will; I won’t hear the end of it if we don’t,” Steve said as he shook Noah’s hand.“I can hear that from here,” Sophia called behind them.“Reminds me of someone I know,” Noah replied with a wink, looking from Steve to his wife, Mia.“The Parker women do have something in common,” Steve responded.“Hmm, hmm, which is why you fell in love with us,” Mia called out.They all laughed as they made their way to the garden at the back of the house.“I

    Nancy had her back to Anna so she could not see the reaction on her face.“I’m going to get to the bottom of this, and I am not going to spare whoever stands in my way.” Anna said, staring at Nancy’s back.Without another word, Nancy opened the door and walked away, leaving Anna in thought.There was more at play than she had imagined, and it seems she would have to take further steps to find out.The rest of the day moved by so fast that it was time to head back to the house.“Anna, I need to go somewhere; you and Nat head home, and tell Mom I’ll be home later,” Clayton said as they walked towards the door down in the lobby.“Okay, see you around,” Anna replied.In no time they were at the house, and the sun was setting when Anna walked through the door.“Mom!” Jasmine shouted in excitement.“How are you, my love?” Anna grinned as she picked her up and turned her around in the air.Jasmine grinned, throwing her head back and laughing out loud as Anna turned her in the air.“You’re go

    William looked from Simon to the book in front of him, his brows furrowed.“Were you not talking about the location?” William asked.Simon raised his left brow at him in question as he responded, “What location are you talking about?”“The one you asked me to find out about. I thought that was what you were talking about.” William asked.“No, I was talking about…” Simon replied, then trailed off before adding, “What about the location?”“Humm, I got a report on that, but I’m not absolutely sure it is correct,” William muttered.“Where exactly is it?” Simon asked.“It’s in your estate, which is strange, because I have not heard any report of anyone moving in there newly,” William said.“You mean my estate, where my house is?” Simon asked.“Yes,” William muttered.“Okay, figure out the number of the house and get back to me, but for now, there is something more serious we need to focus on,” Simon stated, brushing a hand through his hair.He started to pace again, his father’s words goin

    “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.
