โOkay, ma.โ Cohen let out. His face fixed on the ground as he walked back to the other side of the table. He moved the first chair and turned it to face Patricia before he sat in it. โThank you, ma.โPatricia closed the file in her front and discharged a deep breath. She positioned her hands; from fingers to elbows on the table and began her words.โLucas Cohen.โ she called with a stunning smile on his face.โMa.โ Cohen answered, still fixing his eyes on the floor. His hands on his thighs, squeezing them together.โFirst, I want to inform you about-โ she let out, but couldn't complete her statement because a thought zoomed into her mind.She halted for a second and eyed him, furrowing her face. โCohen, do your family know you have sold the company?โ She raised a question.He raised his gaze, surprised. โHun!โ He toned. He quickly looked down and couldn't say another word.โMr. Cohen, it seems they don't know about it,โ she figured out. โWon't that cause a problem in the future?โShe pa

โWill you please take it easy!โ Elsie yelled.โI have to hurry back to the office.โ He let out. He suddenly pressed down on the accelerator.โIf you are in a hurry, you still have to take things easy or we will get into an accident!โ She yelled.โCalm down, nothing will happen.โ Bastian assured, fixing his eyes on the road in front of him.โJust don't expect me to watch you drive me to death. Life is too sweet to die now. Okay?โ She said. She clicked tongue and ground his teeth. โThis is my car and I should have a say,โ she whispered, turning her face to the right. She relaxed her head on the seat backrest and her eyes suddenly caused a glimpse of a blue car behind them.โBastian, a car is following us.โ She informed, still staring at the car through the mirror. She tried to look closely if she could see traces of the person, but she couldn't because it was far from them.โIsnโt that normal?โ Bastian let out in a questioning tone. โThe road isn't for us alone.โโYeah, but the car has

โIf I am guilty, you will have your company back, I accept,โ Patricia gave in, inquiring, โbut Cohen, what will happen if I am not guilty. What will be my gain?โ Cohen discharged a soft breath. He amended his tie and locked eyes with her. โIf you aren't guilty and I am, I won't have my company back.โ He suggested.Patricia shook her head in opposition. โNo, it can't be like that,โ she poured out. โThe company is mine already. I just stake it. You should also stake something,โโMake a bet with something, so you will also lose.โ She said.He nodded. โOkay,โ he let out and paused for a moment, thinking of what to give. โI have no money or property to offer,โโIf you aren't guilty, do whatever you wish for me. You can do anything to me, and I won't question you,โ he made his choice. โLet me pay with whatever you feel is enough. And don't show mercy even if I beg for it.โโOkay,โ Patricia let out, nodding her head, impressed, with a smile on her face. โDeal?โ She uttered in a questioning

โHe is still sleeping.โ Elsie let out, walking out of the bathroom with a towel around her body, covering her from chest to the knees.She wiped her face and neck with the small towel in her hands and dropped it on the floor. โItโs been a stressful day already,โShe walked to the other side of the bed, eyeing Bastian, who was still lying unconscious on the bed. She sat at the bed edge and unplugged Bastianโs phone.โSomeone needs to know he is here, so they won't be worried.โ She thought to herself and quickly turned on the phone.She waited for almost a minute until the phone booted. She swiped up the locked screen, and it required a pin.โI don't know his pin.โ She whispered, looking down in disappointment. She returned the phone back to the cabinet and as she set to stand on her feet, an idea popped in her head, making her to halt.She turned her neck to have a backward glance at him, smiling excitedly. She quickly walked to the other side of the bed and grabbed his right hand.She

โWhat did she say?โ Patricia threw a question immediately as Ailee hung up the call.Ailee feigned a smile. โI think the boss is in safe hands. He is sleeping and can't receive a call.โ She reported.โOkay,โ Patricia let out. โYou can go back to the office.โAilee slightly curtsied her head. โOkay, ma.โ She said and turned to the door with a dull expression.Patricia noticed how instantly Aileeโs mood changed during the call, and she was curious about what was wrong. โAileeโฆโ she called and paused, still debating in her mind whether or not to investigate.Ailee glanced back. โMa?โ She answered and looked at Patricia, whose eyes were just fixed on her without uttering a word.โShould I come back?โ Ailee asked.Patricia sighed and walked closer to Ailee. โAilee,โ she called and grabbed her hands immediately as she reached her front.Ailee stared into Patricia's face, confused. โMa,โ she answered, asking, โdo you want to discuss something with me?โShe tried to glitter her face with an as

Cohen entered the sitting room in a slow pace, his walking lacked rhythm and fluidity, appearing stilted. His arms hang limps without the usual swing of movement.He met his mother sitting, making him slow down a bit. โGood day, ma.โ He greeted, bowing his head. Charlotte furrowed her face, standing on her feet with a confused expression. โMy son, what's wrong with you?โ She inquired. She lengthened her hand to grab his hand, but he stepped aside a bit.โI am fine.โ He answered, avoiding his motherโs touch. His eyes cast downward to also avoid eye contact.โAre you sure?โ Charlotte asked, attempting to touch him again.Cohen walked out of his motherโs sight, dragging his feet as if carrying a weight. โMom, don't follow me, please,โ he pleaded. He laid his left foot on the first stair and glanced backwards at his mother. โNo matter what you hear, don't come upstairs. Please, donโt intervene.โ He said and continued ascending the stairs in shorter strides, leaving his mother to eye her

Bastian gradually opened his eyes. He fully opened them, and rested his head a bit before he slowly lifted it from the pillow till he sat up.He looked around the room, frowning his forehead with his eyes half-closed. โWhere am I?โ He wondered.He felt a slight pain in his forehead, causing him to wither his face, touching the left side of his forehead. โHmm.โ He groaned.He governed his body and forced his tired body to stand on his weak feet.โWhere am I?โ He asked again. He dragged his feet to the door and as he opened the door, Elsie also came in, and she fell on his chest.โUhn!โ They screamed.Elsie quickly stood straight on her feet. โYou're awake.โ She said, facing downwards, shy.โWhat am I doing?โ Bastian questioned. โHow did I get here?โโCalm down, itโs not as if I kidnapped you,โ she let out. โI helped you.

He grabbed her shoulder and walked her to the chair. He sat her down and explained. โI know your interview has been canceled, but I found a reason one must be held today without delay.โโWhy?โ She asked with an unclear expression. โWhy are we in haste? Did something happen?โโYes, it did. And, what I find can't be delayed until tomorrow. It may be too late.โ He explained.โCan you stop speaking in parables and make things clear?

To my dear readers,Thanks for embarking on the journey of my first novel. Your time, coins, gems, and comments mean a lot, and it's the reason I keep going until the end.While writing this book, some left comments to criticize my works and I appreciate them all. I will make use of them and put more effort into avoiding such mistakes (grammatical, word usage, and construction of the plot) in my next books. I am a new author and still finding my way and I promise to work harder and better to make every coin and time you spend on my works worth it.Cohen and Patricia's story ends here, but we will still meet them in the next books in the series.As planned, I want to continue to create the characters' universe for them because of the impact they make in this complete novel. I hope you will stay with me and keep giving your support.If things go as planned, we will have another five amazing journeys to embark on in this series and the next books to come are for:1. Ailee and Bastian.2.

-THREE MONTHS LATER-โWhat are you doing, Cohen?โ Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. โArenโt we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?โโWe will.โ Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.โThen why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?โ She questioned.โI forgot something at home.โ Cohen informed.โWhat did you forget? Hun?โ she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.โMy phone.โ Cohen responded.โWhy must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Canโt you just letโs go?โ She queried.โI canโt because I am a business owner. I mustnโt stay away from my phone.โ Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.โItโs the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and letโs pick the kids. We shouldnโt keep them waiting for a long time.โ Patricia said.โIโm not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patriciaโs phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. โWho could be?โ He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patriciaโs phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the messageโs content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. โHun!โHe bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

โWho is here for me?โ Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. โIs that how to treat a guest?โ She threw a question. โShouldnโt you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, donโt you have any message you want to pass to her?โPatriciaโs words made Annaโs feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. โI have no message for Rachel. She doesnโt deserve a mother like me. I donโt worth to be called a mother,โ she poured out. โTell me why you are here. I donโt want to talk with you.โPatricia discharged a deep breath and sighed.

I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.โโSure, I will,โ she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front.
