Jon headed over to Cathy's home and brought a box of her favourite pizza, New York's finest which he bought from Pizza Hut through a twenty four hour drive thru service. He knocked, she opened the front door and went straight to the porch. He followed her quickly, and asked, "Is your mom here?" Her mom flew to Arizona, her Aunt got sick and there was no one else to take care of her. "I have been busy with everything, and I am sorry I didn't take your calls." He held her hand and as they both took their seats, he told her, "I understand, your future is as important as mine." Cathy recently passed entrance exams and now she has to choose where to go to. Jon will be sponsoring her, and she must make sure she does her best and not let him down. They ate the pizza, Cathy poured soda onto their glasses, and they talked about how life had been rough for the past few weeks. Jon was serious about having Cathy finish college, so she could deserve to be an Albertson, which she knew. She
Vivian Desmonde walked to The Lavish one morning. "I cannot contact Jonathan, is he here?" Alex immediately went to her, left his post at the reception and told her, "He has left yesterday and has not come back yet, ma'am." She grabbed him by the elbow and told him, "I do not understand how Jon had been missing and Catherine also left their home at Noughton's." Alex seemed shocked at the news, "That's not possible." He put out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialled her number, but there was no answer. "So what now?" Vivian asked him. "I… I have no clue. We haven't really spoken much since she resigned, and I have no idea where she went." She replied, "Alex, they are both not answering their mobile phones. There must be something else." Alex was not speaking, he was thinking of how things will turn out since he had plans of getting in the middle of the relationship. "You better do something." Vivian told him, her voice strong and authoritative. She then let his elbow go
Jon was back at the penthouse the Saturday morning after, and as he entered his suite, he did not notice the man who was seated at the dark blue sofa. As he saw him, the man got up. “Surprised?” Keith asked his son. He knew for a fact that Jon had been to California, but he did not contact him because he was too busy with a lot of work that Jon had left behind. “No,” Jon replied, pretending he already saw him and that he was not surprised at all. He went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, looking for some food to eat. He instead grabbed a bottle of soda and poured some into a glass. His father followed him and asked, “Jonathan, are you not going to ask why I was here?” Jon did not say a word, and so Keith continued. “Attorney Clarence Morgan,” he paused as Jon turned to look at him and replied, “What about him?” Keith moved closer to Jon, took the glass of water off his hand and placed it on the marble
The death of Attorney Clarence Morgan had been all around newspapers in the United States. There was no forced entry, he was shot on the back of his head, while his head rested on top of his arms which were crossed on the table. His life was ended by a single bullet, which means the murderer had everything planned and calculated. There were no second tries, he was meant to be killed by the first gunshot, leaving no room for error. “Must be done by a professional,” Stephanie said as she puts her left hand under her chin. Jon walked towards her, placed two cups of strong coffee on the cocktail table which was made of glass and metal. He then sat beside her, “I was not sure at first, but there were many indicators that he was killed by someone he knew,” he said as he looked at her. Stephanie gave Jon a visit at his place, and asked him a lot about Morgan’s death. He got so occupied that he did not notice his mobile phone had rang many times. “Thank y
It was nearing Christmas, and Cathy had been busy with the programme that she had prepared for the pre school where she had been doing part time work. Jon never wanted her to work while waiting for the following school year, but she insisted. "I want to be able to save. I cannot live a life like this and ask you for everything that I need," she remembered herself telling him that she wants to work for a few months, before finally getting into UCLA. She just got home from the pre school when she realized that there was a huge box that was hidden under the dining table. "Anna?" she called out to her, but got no reply. She was beginning to be afraid, walked to the small foyer and searched for Anna's keys on the console table. "This is where she leaves them after she gets in," she said quietly. When she had not found anything, she ran to the living room and turned all the lights on, and heard footsteps coming near her. She was getting frightened when she felt warm hands hold her small w
"Hi Jon, how are you? I hope you'd call me back." Stephanie Fox left a message on Jon's voicemail. It has been two days since they last spoke on the phone, which was a day after he flew to Los Angeles. They managed to speak everyday before he went to see Cathy. The last time they did was when he got in a quiet room and she asked him, "Are you in a bathroom?" and chuckled when he told her that he was in there since he does not want to awaken Cathy from her sleep. "I wonderwhy he liked her," she remembered herself speaking to Adriana and Vivian. At the night of the project launch, she had tried to get into Jon's way, but his attention was always a bit inclined towards Cathy. She was a simple assistant, with little to no make up at all, would occasionally dress up on chosen events. "She was a wallflower, how could he be so attracted?" she remembered herself asking the other two ladies on why they think Jon is a lot into Cathy. They all came to a conclusion that maybe it is becaus
It was the twenty-seventh of December, Stephanie had arrived at the airport at around nine in the morning. Pulling her brown Prada luggage bag, she wears her Saint Laurent black velvet tied shorts, a white Dolce and Gabbana t shirt and black gladiator sandals from Versace. A supermodel that she was, Stephanie Fox was indeed a head turner. She walked with such grace to the waiting area, had a cab and went around Los Angeles, looking for a place to stay. She immediately called Jon who was currently having a discussion with Lee at the balcony while she was in a cab. "I wonder if I could stay somewhere near you," Jon told Lee that he would attend to him later in the day, as he needs to answer an important call. She wanted to stay at The Orsini, but Jon said it would be better to stay at a hotel if she does not plan on staying for long. The lady agreed, told him to meet her to have a cup of coffee and a chat. She hung up afterwards, told the driver to drop her off at the hotel and put on
Two days before the new year. "I thought you were able to spend the new year with me." Cathy told Jon, while she prepared his clothes for his trip back to New York. He held her hand and comforted her, "You know that hotel businesses jump up during new year countdowns." She smiled, and nodded. "I understand, there are lots of opportunities after the new year, right?" She wanted to spend more time with him, but she understands that there are a lot of important things that he needed to attend to. He hugged her, thanked her for being so understanding, and kissed her. While their lips touched, there was a flash of memory that struck him at a speed of lightning. With his eyes closed, it was so vivid and realistic. His lips touched hers, she was wearing a red dress with a high slit that she took off to make love to him. Her hair was blonde and curly, and her scent leaves a strong feeling of desire and seduction. It was when he opened his eyes, he looked at Cathy, and hugged her tightly. It

Luke Martin was waiting in the visiting area, when Allison Albertson walked in. "I have been waiting for you for hours," he said. She took a seat across him and placed her hands on the metal table. "I assume you already made up your mind," she said to him. The guards went back to their posts, and so she continued. "Have you got an answer? Steph is already out there with Jon, waiting for an opportunity." Luke sighed, "If you make sure I won't be in trouble," she got up and interrupted his talking. "In trouble? I will get you out of here, with half a million dollars, what sort of trouble will you have?" He looked at her, and with a strong voice, he said, "I'm in. Tell me what you want to know about Vivian, I'll give you all the information you need." Allison smiled, went back to her seat and discussed with Luke.******Jon woke up to a ringing phone. He picked it up, with his eyes half closed. "Hello," he said. "Good morning, sir. It's m
Jon and Stephanie had dinner together in her suite. They never went out to the main lobby, or anywhere else to avoid the public eye. They had to make sure that Vivian would never have an idea that they were following her, else they may never catch her. He got back to his suite after they had eaten. "Goodnight Jon, I'll see you tomorrow," Stephanie said as he went out of her suite. He got back to his via the main door, and dialled Cathy's number. It was ringing for almost a minute, but got no answer. When he finally gave up, and was about to hang up, a man answered from the other line. "Hello," a man said, but then Jon asked, "Hey, it is Jon. Am I speaking to Jeffrey?" There was silence on the other line, Evan did not know how he would speak to him over the phone. He knew that his daughter had not told Jon yet about their reconciliation. "Hello?" Jon asked again, getting more worried. He worried as he knew that only Anna and Jeffrey would be with her, but there was a man with an unfa
It was afternoon, the sun was about to set later than usual. Her mobile phone rang. Cathy picked it up from her table and answered the call. "Hey dad," she said. Evan Mills wanted to pick her up and take her home. They were able to discuss a few things the last time they spoke, and Cathy somehow understood why her father opted to leave their family after he had explained his side of the story. Evan answered, "Hi sweetie, would you mind if I pick you up?" Cathy took a few steps to peek through the window, and whispered, "He's still there." Her father was confused, "What was it dear?" she quickly replied, "Oh, it's Alex. He keeps on waiting on me. I'd come to work and go home, he would still be waiting outside." she started to be afraid that she instructed the security guard to allow her to wait for her father.When he got there, Cathy immediately went to him and got into his car. In a minute, Evan kept on looking at the rear view as Alex had been following them.
It was a hot morning, and Cathy woke up earlier than the usual to prepare for work. "Hello? Um, yeah. We went out for a bit and she left the phone here," Anna explained as she answered an early phone call. "Who is it, Anna?" Cathy asked. The woman passed the phone over to her, told her that it was Jon, asking why nobody was taking his calls the other day. "Hi, I left my phone here while we went to grab some groceries," she told him quickly. "Are you in a hurry?" he asked. She was about to go to work and she told him she'll call him later in the afternoon. Jon agreed, and went on with his plans with Stephanie. As they both hung up, Cathy went to the preschool as she does on weekdays. When she got to St. Louis pre school, she saw Alex's car parked on the other side of the street. "What is he doing here?" she asked the security guard, who immediately closed the door behind her. "I do not know, Cathy. He approached me earlier and told the others that he is going to wait for you. Turns o
Luke Martin woke up to a banging on his prison cell. "What the hell!" he shouted as he fell off the bed. "You got a visitor, Martin," the guard shouted as he unlocked the door and stayed outside. Luke fixed himself and changed his clothes. It had been more than a month since he was detained due to the attack on Jennifer Mills at Noughton's. In a few minutes, he went out to the visiting area and sat on one of the chairs of a long table. He was able to look at the woman whom the jail guard was talking to. She was tall, with long brown hair, wore a checkered dress of black and tan orange, high-heeled black boots and carried a pink handbag. She turned, and went walking towards him. She sat in front of him across a table, he asked her, "What a lovely woman who requested to see me. What can I do for you?" She smiled and introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Allison Maree, sister of Jonathan Albertson. I was the one who turned the cctv footage of your crime over to the police." Luke was extr
"I don't know what you're doing here, I hope this has nothing to do with Allie." Jon said when the door opened. He did not lift his head and continued typing on his HP Compaq nx9600, but saw her reflection on the glass table. "I came here to your aid, Jon. Please don't push me away," said Stephanie, he looked at her, she was wearing a powder blue dress which touched her knees and had long sleeves and round collars. She walked towards him, and asked him. "I have spoken to Adrianna, Vivian's best friend. She was one of the models from the agency where I am from and," he cut her off. "What about her?" "I know where Vivian is, Jon." he looked at her, pushed aside his laptop and stood up. He leaned towards Stephanie and locked the door behind her. "What do you know?" Stephanie smiled, and handed over a letter to Jon which he unfolded and read silently.******Cathy kept staring at her Sony Ericsson k600. She was waiting for Jon to give her
The wind was blowing so cold, rain had been pouring down for hours which made it darker than usual. Cathy said goodbye to the kids, and waited for the parents to pick them up. It had been a month and a half since she started the part time job in the preschool, and it had gotten a bit difficult as she had been pregnant for almost three weeks. She waited for about an hour, and when they were all picked up, she decided to go home. It was darker and the wind blew stronger, at six o'clock, it was almost impossible for her to walk outside without getting all wet. She went out and waited for a cab, but all the cabs that went by were all booked. A car stopped just in front of her and the driver lowered the window. "Hey, it's raining so hard. Need a ride?" Cathy was shocked. The face was so familiar, with the hair that turned silvery grey, lines on the forehead and under his eyes tell a lot about his age. Cathy stood still, without uttering a single word, tried to figure out how the man foun
It was a weekday morning. Jon was having coffee with a few investors while discussing the year's plans which included expanding the business overseas. "I think it's best to be able to provide luxury in some areas in Asia," a man said, sitting at the last seat on Jon's left. Another man, who was sitting across, raised his hand and continued, "We have studied the middle eastern cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the two cities were found to have rising economic status and in the following years, we have forecasted that hotel industry will boom as tourism evolves and it would be a great investment." Jon was looking at the records, "I believe that the East is a good target, we will be able to establish new trends," a woman said. Jon made a comment as he looked at his laptop screen, "Can someone send me a list of international celebrities who are known residents to these two cities." A lady got up, and advised her secretary who was seated at the back near the door, to conduct a research imme
It was almost a week after the New Year. Jon had finally called Cathy and told her that he was not able to push Stephanie when he kissed him because of the media. "Publicity is key, you know that right? I love you and nothing will ever change that." He assured her that he promised her mom that he would take good care of her, but Cathy was not satisfied with the explanation. "So you did not bother to object when your sister introduced you to the media as a couple?" Jon told her that he has no plans of marrying any other woman, and that what his sister did was merely a publicity stunt. Cathy was resisting at first, but her love for him made her understand what her mind could not comprehend. She gave him an ear, which eventually made her feel alright. She has not told him about the pregnancy just yet, because she plans to tell him in person when he visits her in two months. When they hung up, Cathy told Anna about her plans, and she couldn't help but get excited. "Oh dear, is it not go
