"Did you get the papers signed?"

"Look, I need more time." Kara told him.

"Much to your dismay, there isn't any left. I need the papers signed and brought to me as agreed Kara." With that, he hung up.

She sighed heavily. At first, he demanded a huge sum and now he wants something even bigger. Things weren't going as planned and she hated every bit of the moment. What was she going to do now? The greatest mistake she will make is to make her son to sign some papers when he was already devastated. At least, she couldn't let Jack know if she had the papers signed just yet. She had to make sure that he was willing to reach a compromise.

"Mom," the voice called out and she could froze.

Oh, shit-

She shouldn't have put the call on speak out.

Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time. Holding tight in his hands the necklace that he would have given her if they hadn't fought.

The necklace was beautiful, she was going to love it.

He thought about her and how she was doing. He

    Darius had now confirmed his doubt. He sighed replaying her conversation the other day.(Flashback)Having his jacket on his shoulders, Darius walked out of his room. He was a minute late for his shift and so he hurried down the passage. He quickly took out his phone, sending a call to Gabriel to cover up for him. He frowned when he heard a disturbing shriek. Ending the call, he walked further into another corner of the passage, where the noise came from. It was his wife's parents room. He remembered Audora going out to get groceries along with a servant while the office was busy lately. That left Kara and him, then who could she be angry at?..."Jack, I didn't cause her death okay? How would I have known she worked there? Now for your benefits, don't call me ever again, do you hear me?....." Now you listen to me," Kara stated forcefully."Stop this madness immediately. My son isn't signing anything over to you." Then nothing, he tried to listen for muffled voice but the silence wa

    Clara froze on the spot as the voice echoed around the room. She just had to do one thing and she messed up. Now what was he going to think?Daniel frowned when he saw the owner of the Chestnut hair. So she was planning to steal from him after all. He knew she was up to no good when she returned from California."I said, what the fuck are you doing in my room?!""I...em... papers. I mean, I wanted to...I was looking for papers i-" she paused when his strides stopped in front of her.Daniel scanned the fairly displaced items in the room before looking at her with coldness."Get out," he said."Your mom, she's going to-""I said, get out!" She hurried away from him but stopped at the door when she saw Darius staring back at her in confusion."What is going on here?" Darius eyes darted from Clara to Daniel and back to Clara."She's trying to steal from me!" Daniel stated."That is not true! Why will I steal from you Daniel?" Clara blurted out."Then you didn't answer my question, why are

    "So you knew all along?" Clarissa asked."I knew that you liked him. What can I say? He's quite the lady's man but I didn't know that you were in love with him and I never knew that he secretly had feelings for you."Kara gave her a sad smile. Everything Clarissa thought she kept to herself was never a secret. Maybe she really did a bad job at hiding how she felt. Darius was right."I was so focused on getting your cousin married to my son for her reputation and for my son's happiness that I didn't look at what it would result to. When I found out that things were turning out bad, I tried to get your husband to divorce you."Clarissa frowned. "Why would you want to separate us?""That was what I thought myself. I was definitely meeting a dead end trying to separate two people that are madly in love with each other. But then, do you also know what I thought? I thought getting you two divorced will leave you out of everything. If Jack wanted a ransom, the best bait to use was you and wi

    All he worked hard for couldn't go down the drain.No, no, no!Not like this,There was commotion in his surrounding and all he could think of next was to mingle with the crowd.---"Stay where you are or I will shoot her!" He yelled and there was no movement. He gently pulled Clarissa away hoping to get to the door in time."Put the Gun down Nicholas, it's over." Darius said."No, it's not. It can't be over till I say so!" He yelled back."You shouldn't do this, put the gun down." Darius tried again but he shook his head furiously."You guys always ruin everything for me! Can't I get what I want for once. She and I are supposed to be gone by dawn but no, you always ruin everything, you ruined EVERYTHING!!" His voice echoed around the room that Clarissa had to flinch from it."Now who is it going to be? Her or.... her?"

    "Did you know you were pregnant?"--An honest answer, he wanted an honest answer?Tears welled up in her eyes almost immediately as guilt welled up in her chest."Baby," He tried again but She released her hands from his hold all the while looking away. It was then he got the clue.She knew!"Tell me it's not-" he scoffed. "Why didn't you tell me? Was it not that important that you refuse to tell me?" When she did not answer, he cursed combing his hair in frustration before beginning to walk away."Daniel...Daniel please wait.... Please don't leave." He stopped. His legs ached to move back to her but he decided against it. She needed to know he was upset with her, very upset."It was important. I wouldn't dream of hiding such a thing from you but I didn't tell you because I didn't have the chance to after our fight. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you i just..I'm sorry." She added."Still, you should have told me. I love you Clarissa. We love each other, you shouldn't keep thing

    She sat at the edge of the bed. It was the second day after their wedding and still, he hadn't had a proper conversation with her. Not because she was a stranger or anything but because, he couldn't shake off the feeling just yet that he couldn't be in wedlock with the one he ought to. Everything was still a blur to him. "Why aren't you coming to bed?" He asked after a while of hesitation. He probably knew what she was going through and it was going to take her a while to let it all sink in. Imagine being surprised with a life partner, not just any but the one that should be calling out vows to your cousin instead. She sighed and turned to him and he only hoped that she could see he was really concerned about her. But when she looked at him, instead she saw relaxation and calmness. Quite the irony of herself at the moment and she only frowned the more. How was it possible, she thought, that he was so calm about everything? He should be angry, frustrated and livid that he didn't get

    She had a disheartening conversation with Nick early in the morning and it put her in quite the mood. He said to her that he missed her so much. He realized that he couldn't accept her new life so quickly than he expected. She felt that she broke him beyond repair with the news of her marriage. And now telling him that they couldn't see each other, shattered him to pieces. He literally told her that he couldn't live without her. Despite the fact that she didn't have an answer to that, the truth clear. She never felt the pull in her chest every time he was near her. She never felt her rapid heartbeat any time he kissed her. The fact was that, she was never in love with him. The day he acted sinister, was two nights before she became aware of her wedding, before she exchanged rings with her husband. She went to a party with him. A college frat party hosted by the women's man, Jake Phillips, who was having 'an actual' friendly conversation with her but Nick went all cave man on him. Ja

    She laid her items in her closet before walking down to her vanity table and taking off her earrings. The day was stressful trying out different quality gowns for the anniversary but it was worth it. She finally found one that was breathtaking, a gown worth to the dollars they spent on it. Holding her top to get rid of it, she froze as her eyes locked with those green ones. Her breath hitched in her throat and she put the shirt down on impulse. She didn't know he would be back today; maybe the meeting lasted for only a few hours for him to have made it home today. "Hey, we need to talk." He hesitated before adding, "I'll be at the pool when you're done." She nodded in reply letting him walk away from her.There he stood, in front of the pool obviously lost in thoughts. She couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of what he was going to say. What if he wants to tell her that the relationship could never work? Besides, he is in love with another and he could guess the same for he

    "You think? Can you be more formal please?" Daniel was first to speak up. "If you know then quit beating around the bush.""I tried calling her yesterday way before I heard the news about her kidnapping.""Well, did she pick up?"Clara hesitated. "I mean she did pick up but it was like she didn't even know that she did," Clara looked at the worried family. "I think she dropped her phone or something because I heard a crash then the line went dead."The whole family almost gave out worried sighs. Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time that day."But, I have a friend. He was our high school friend, he majored in information technology and he was able to help me out last night. Though it cost me alot." Clara told them."Well how much do you want then? A million?" Daniel frowned."If I wanted money first, I wouldn't have told you a lot before hand Daniel.

    Becky heaped the files on her table immediately after fetching them from her boss's office. Daniel was just on the phone with her a minute ago, telling her that he would work from home for the mean time. All she needed to do was to bring some important files he needed to attend to.Her phone rang and she picked it, excusing herself from her table and walking to Hailey's table to say something to her. Hailey nodded in understanding and Becky walked away. Ending the call, she picked up her bag, swinging it over her shoulder and then she carried the files."Oh Good morning ma'am," The woman with a particular silky raven black hair turned to the receptionist and nodded before walking further.The receptionist held back whatever she wanted to say. Surely there was no need to question her. After all, she was the wife of the CEO. The woman stopped walking when she saw a familiar face walk pass her to talk with the receptionist.

There would be nothing that'll pull us apart again and that's because we belong together.---She dropped the flowers at the grave right after cleaning the face of it."I finally came to see you," She knelt besides it. "I'm sorry I couldn't come see you before." Clarissa sniffed."Now I understand what you said Mia, I have yet to be accustomed to this whole love thing.

Maybe if that happened you wouldn't have hated me so much."Mia wasn't one to be negative. Although they were twins, they were the complete opposite.
