Eric sits in his top floor office. He looks at yet another email from a private investigator telling him that they could not find his wife in the last year. She has covered her tracks perfectly and there is no sign of her. They have searched everywhere.

Eric has been searching for her for the last year. He spared no costs when it came to finding her, yet, she still has to be found.

The restaurant downstairs is up and running again. Eric cannot imagine how he would have survived the last year if it hadn’t been for him starting up the restaurant again. He worked non-stop. When he had a few moments, he spent them finding new private investigators to search for Ally. It has been the longest and busiest year of his life.

He stares out of the large floor to ceiling windows that make up most of the top floor outside walls. He loves his office here. It looks more like an open plan apartment than an office really.

In the large open space, he put his desk and shelves with books and files, in th

    Erick walks across the street, back to his own restaurant. He does not go through the kitchen as he always does. He takes the elevator directly to his office. He is still furious at Ally for handing him a new set of divorce documents. He tore them up and placed them back in the envelope which he left on the table. As he walks into his office, he sees the waiter entering Ally’s office across the street. The lights in his office are still off, which gives him the benefit of being unseen. He stands and stares as Ally receives the envelope from the waiter and carefully looks inside. She shakes her head and angrily walks to the dustbin where she tosses it away with a little more force than necessary. Eric cannot help but laugh at how angry Ally seems. Did she really think he would just sign the documents? Surely, she must know better than that. Eric remembers choking on the bite-sized Ally’s Wrath the woman sent him. He is very glad she did not see him choking on her bitter hatred. She wo

I will take her place and be the wife you deserve.” Megan tells Eric. Eric can feel the anger rise in his chest. He takes a step back and walks around Megan to his desk.“Get out.” He tells her again.“We can do it Eric. We can have a small private ceremony and I can give you a son within the next year.” Megan tries again. Eric does not look at her. He busies himself with the paperwork on his desk.“Nobody even has to know. The press did not report on the wedding and there are no pictures of the two of you anywhere in the media. We can absolutely pull it off. After all, your mother chose me.” Megan is suddenly scared that she pushed it

    Ally’s words are like a knife to Eric’s heart. He stares at her in shock. The tears running down her cheeks are like salt in the wound. Eric lifts a hand to wipe the tears from Ally’s cheek. She pushes his hand away. He takes a step closer to her and she immediately takes a step backwards.“Ally. I didn’t know.” Eric tries to tell her that he searched for her but his voice breaks and he cannot get any more words out. Ally knows instinctively what he wanted to tell her and shakes her head as she finally gives into the tears she has been holding back for so long.“You do not get to choose which part of my life you want to be a part of. You cannot come and go as you please. Just sign the damn papers so I can have my freedom back.” Ally tells him through sobs.Eric looks at her for a long moment. His heart is breaking.

She loves being in his arms but she hates that she wants to hate him.Eric looks at Ally as he gets dressed. He desperately wants to keep her in his arms. He knows if he had enough time with her, she would let her guard down and be close to him again. He takes a step closer to her.“Ally, please stay with me.” Eric asks her softly. His soft soothing voice calls to her heart. Ally keeps her eyes off him. She has come so far. She needs to keep going.“I have work to do. I cannot hang around here all night.” Ally regrets her tone as soon as the words are out of her mouth. She is not really used to mistreating people and she hates hurting others, but for some reason she needs Eric to feel her pain. She turns around and meets his gaze.“Sign the papers. I will pick them up tomorrow.” Ally turns and walks out of the office. Eric cannot help but stare after her. He really thought

    Eric wakes up the following morning. The first thought that crosses his mind, is that Ally has not been for a check up since she came back. He wonders how the baby is doing. When he found out she was pregnant, he was so excited to become a father.

He enters to find her laying in bed. She has her back turned towards the door and is staring towards the window.Benson walks up to the bed and waits for her to acknowledge his presence. She does not.“Good afternoon, Ally” Benson tells her. She does not move or respond. He stares at her for a few more seconds. It irritates him that she treats him like this. If she only knew what he had to do to keep her alive after the stunt she pulled with Ronald. He was able to deal with Ronald, having him fired at the facility. He is not afraid that Ronald will ever come into her life again. He also got word that Doctor White was in on the plan and have dealt with her too.

    Eric is furious. He cannot stand the way Ally does not care about anything. This selfish nature of hers is driving him up the walls. Eric looks at his desk, he already finished his work early this morning. There is nothing left for him to do in here. He refuses to go home and he cannot sit in this office all day with nothing to do. He cannot stand going back to Ally’s restaurant.Eric goes into his hidden bedroom and gets his chef jacket from his closet. He puts it on and takes the bandana from the pocket. Wrapping the bandana around his head to cover his hair, Eric heads out of his office towards his own restaurant kitchen. When he enters the kitchen there is a moment of quick silence. Eric walks straight to a young chef that is busy chopping vegetables. Her work is neat and her station is tidy. He holds his hand out to her.“May I?” Eric asks. The young chef looks at his hand and then at the knife in her own hand. She carefully hands him the knife she is holding. Eric nods and the y

    Eric and Jane sort out most of the issues that Jane had within an hour. Jane looks a lot happier when Eric is done talking to her. He applies himself to sorting out the mess on Ally’s table. There are unpaid bills on her table. He looks through them and can now understand why some suppliers refused to deliver to the restaurant. Eric sorts out everything that needs attention. When he leaves the office, there is nothing left to do. Eric shakes his head as he enters the elevator. Ally could have sorted out most of these problems yesterday, if she had not laid on her sofa playing games.Eric stops by the kitchen to check on the mood. The kitchen staff is seemingly working harder than before. All the work surfaces are clean and the head chef is doing his rounds and making sure everyone is ready for tonight’s service.

    Eric walks into the dining area. He finds one of the waiters who are standing next to a wall with her hands behind her back. She stares out in front of her. Eric takes a stance beside her and stares in the direction she is staring in. There is nothing there.“Oh! Mr Symons!” the young girl exclaims when she realises that he is standing beside her.“Why are you so absentminded?” he asks the young girl.“I was just thinking how much everything has changed since I started working here.” The girl answers. She immediately regrets telling this to him when she realises that she is speaking to her boss’ husband. Why did she not think of this sooner?“How long have you been working here?” Eric asks in a soft tone. He has long since realised that when speaking to women, you cannot use your demanding voice. Except when you are in the kitchen. Those women expect you to speak in a strong demanding voice.“I have been here since the restaurant opened.” The girl tells him.“What is it that changed?”

    Eric takes the number and dials it from his personal phone.“Good day, Mrs Johnson. This is Chef Symons. Your husband works in our restaurant.” Eric introduces himself. There is an immediate sense of panic from the woman on the other side.“Oh, no! Did something happen to him?” she asks quickly. Eric can hear the dread in her voice.“Not at all. Please do not worry. Your husband is fine.” Eric assures her as quickly as possible. He hears the sigh of relief over the phone. To Eric, this is a positive sign that this woman still loves this man. Eric is somewhat surprised that he is so invested in saving this relationship. Ally would do exactly this. Well, Ally that he married, would have done this.“Mrs Johnson, it has come to our attention that you and your husband has had a couple of difficult years. And to add to that, we have had an admin issue in our offices in the last few days that caused salaries to pay out late. I apologise for that inconvenience.” Eric tells her. He hears how s

    Eric watches as all the staff members who have not received their salaries quickly take out their phones. Most of them receive their messages as they unlock their phones. The looks of relief on their faces gives Eric a sense of guilt. He did not know that these staff members were under so much pressure.Eric straightens his shoulders and claps his hands once to draw everyone’s attention.“Good morning chefs.” Eric says. He takes the stance he usually would in his own kitchen. His feet slightly apart and his hands behind his back. He looks at each of them, making eye contact.“Good morning, Chef!” they all greet in unison.“I apologise for any inconvenience regarding the late payment of your salaries. If you were affected negatively in any way, by paying penalties or anything of that sort, please report it to Mrs May. I will gladly compensate you for any of your losses.” Eric watches as some of the staff members start to smile with relief. There is always something that causes chaos wh
