Lush Heaven. The atmosphere inside the VIP box was a sharp contrast to the world outside. There was hardly any light inside and the air was filled with the pungent scent of alcohol. A tall man was slumped against the black couch with a glass of liquor in his hand which he hung suspended in the air, fixed in a trance. Knock knock. There was a sudden knock on the door. He opened his eyes but did not answer the knock. Cliff was standing on the other side of the door. After not receiving an answer for some time, he very cautiously opened the door. He walked up to Odell and frowned when he saw the state Odell was in, but took caution to maintain the respectful tone in his voice. "Master Carter, I just got back from the police station." Odell pried his eyelids open and revealed a sharp look underneath them. “Go on.” “Your suspicions were correct. After the police interrogated Melanie and looked further into her relationship with Miss Tara, they found that she was n

Sebastian answered her warmly, “I… No, it’s nothing.” That was when Sylvia and Aunt Tonya stepped forward to see him. Sylvia gently patted Isabel’s head and urged, “Isabel, go inside and play with your brother." Isabel muted a quick “Okay” and ran back into the living room. Sylvia went up to Sebastian and addressed him, “Sebastian, are you here to say something to me?” Sebastian hesitated for several seconds and with an exasperated sigh, began relaying, “Missus, I just wanted to see if I can persuade you to speak to Master Carter. Jacob told me that he went to the bar today again. I know that circumstances are hard with what’s happening with the company, but he can’t keep living like this.” Sylvia frowned sternly. "I divorced him a long time ago. It’s not in my place to talk to him.” “But there’s no one more suitable for this task than you. You just need to go to him and say a few words. I’m sure he’ll return to his usual form after that.” “No, it’s just that th

Midnight. Sylvia waited until the children had dozed off into a deep sleep before leaving and driving to Lush Heaven. The night was when the city truly came alive, and Lush Heaven was no exception either. It was very lively inside but most of the activities were restricted to only the first floor. Some paparazzi were wandering around the corridor on the second floor. They were here for Odell. Sylvia did not want to appear in the news, so she got in touch with Sherry. Shortly after, Sherry had the security escort the group of paparazzi who snuck into the building. Sylvia said something to Sherry, then she went to Odell’s box all by herself. As usual, Ben and Jacob were posted by the entrance door. The two of them promptly opened the door for her the moment they saw her. Just like that, Sylvia entered. The pungent smell of alcohol lingered in the air as usual. She frowned, then looked at the man lying on the couch. He was wearing a pair of black shirt and

Sylvia supposed that there was not much else she could do if Odell would not listen. She shot a glare at him, then promptly turned to leave. Just as she reached the door and raised her hand to turn the door knob, his raspy voice suddenly traveled across the room to her. "When Spencer kidnapped the two of you, I wanted to choose to spare you the entire time.” Sylvia froze for a moment and hissed sharply. "Odell, do you think I'm blind and deaf?" Even now, she could remember how he had pointed at her first, then changed his choice to Tara after a mere two-second pause. She remembered how he had reaffirmed that his final choice was Tara! “I tried to negotiate with him and offered him a lot of terms. I even told him that I’d sacrifice myself if he’d let you two walk free. He didn’t agree to my terms and instead, required me to choose between you two. He only wanted to use your lives to exact revenge on me.” Sylvia pursed her lips and stayed quiet. Odell’s voice turned

Sylvia talked with Sebastian for a little while longer, then she watched silently as he went back to his room before returning to her room. She took a quick shower and prepared to settle in for the night. Then, her phone rang. It was Thomas who texted her and asked, “Are you sleeping?” Sylvia picked up the phone and replied, “I’m going to bed soon.” Thomas: “Why are you up so late?” Sylvia: “I had to go out to handle something.” Thomas: “What happened?” Sylvia was not expecting him to press the issue, so she considered for a moment and answered: “Sebastian was worried about Odell and asked me to talk to him, so I went to see him.” She did not want to lie to him. He replied shortly after: “I see, get some rest.” Sylvia: “You too.” After she sent the text, she tossed the phone aside and lay down on the bed. Meanwhile, right outside the gates to her house was a tall, brooding figure standing in the darkness. It was Thomas. He looked in the directi

Suddenly, a silver car swerved in from the side of the road and stopped in front of her. Sylvia recognized that it was Thomas in the driver's seat. She was taken aback. “Thomas?” Thomas got out of the car and walked up to her, towering over her with his height. “I’m here to see Grandma.” She muttered a curt “Oh.” in response. Thomas put a hand forward and touched her head, then he stared at her hazel eyes. “Why are you up so early?” She strained an unconvincing smile. “I just happened to wake up early.” “You have bags under your eyes. Did you not sleep last night?" he asked. She avoided his gaze and brushed it off. “I slept okay.” He softly rubbed the corner of her eyes with his warm fingertips, his voice was gentle and comforting. “Is there something bothering you?” Sylvia frowned. She was moved by the tenderness in his voice. So moved that she wanted to confide everything in him, but she figured that he would not be pleased to find out that it was about

A sharp silence took over the moment Sylvia disclosed these past events. Sylvia assumed that Thomas was baffled by the tale and chuckled self-deprecatingly. "You think it's absurd too, don't you?" He clenched his hand into a ball of fist underneath the table, but hung a faint smile on his lips. “It’s pretty incredible, I admit.” After a pause, he asked again, “Does that mean he realized that you were the one who saved him all along?” “Yeah, Tara ended up returning the ring to him. It was sometime around when you took me to Lush Heaven with Isabel and Liam to visit him. After that, I paid him another visit and that’s when I accidentally saw the ring.” An awkward silence descended upon them again. She sensed that something was off and stole a look at him. His handsome expression seemed to beam underneath the ceiling lights. She could see her own reflection inside his hazel eyes. He spoke suddenly, "So, are you planning to go back to him?” This flustered her and

Thomas smiled at Sylvia. “There’s this new children’s clubhouse that opened in the new district. There are all kinds of activities going on there which I think should be very fun for Isabel and Liam.” With Isabel being so excited, there was no reason that Sylvia should refuse. She turned to Liam and asked, “Liam, do you want to go?” He stared blankly at Thomas. Isabel was worried Liam would not want to go and quickly urged, “Liam, lets’ go. Lets’ go!” Liam gave a curt answer, “Okay.” Sylvia turned to Thomas and smiled faintly. “Alright Thomas, we’ll leave in a bit.” “Alright.” ... Just as Thomas described, there were all kinds of fun activities in the children's clubhouse. There were even some high-tech installations that offered virtual gaming experiences such as the spacewalk simulator. Isabel had a blast. Even Liam enjoyed some of the simulations. There was also an escape room designed for a family-sized group. There were several tricky stages, but Thoma

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
