“What the fuck!” Anna yelled. Her eyes widened in disbelief with her mouth ajar. She just finished preparing Cohen’s meal and had already set the table before she walked to the sitting room and saw the news Charlotte was watching. Charlotte turned her neck to glance back at her. “What’s the matter?” She asked with a concerned tone. Anna slowly raised her hand and pointed her finger at the television, shaking in bewilderment. “The news?” She said, her voice stammering in fear. “Chairman Hewitt has been arrested.” Charlotte nodded. “Yes, is there anything wrong with it?” She asked, unclear. “Why are you like this? Don’t you like that?” “But ma…” Anna wanted to talk, but the fear rotting in her mind at the moment held her back. “Anna, don’t worry. I still hate Patricia and I can never support her for any reason,” Charlotte said in a persuading tone. She thought Anna was like that because she was in support of chairman Hewitt's arrest. “I am just happy they found the culprit,” she ex

“What do you know about it, sir?” Romeo interrogated, maintaining his composure. Chairman Hewitt was a prominent person, so Romeo put in an effort to keep his voice low and calm to avoid sounding rude or harsh. “If you tell me the truth, we may find a solution to it.” He lied, trying to lure him into admitting his offense. Chairman Hewitt fearlessly raised his gaze and snickered. “I know nothing about it.” He insisted. The interrogation started about an hour ago, and despite Romeo’s effort, Chairman Hewitt kept defending himself and refused to accept guilt. “But sir, we have evidence,” Romeo let out. “Just tell the truth so we can save our time. We can’t waste much time or else the matter will get out of reach.” “Evidence?” Chairman Hewitt repeated, amazed. He chuckled for a second and raised a question. “Are you talking about the audio Patricia played? Hun?” Without giving Romeo a space to answer, he poured out. “You are a prosecutor with years of experience. Can’t you figure

“Can I go in to see him now?” Bastian raised a question, standing on his feet to walk closer to Romeo, who was just coming out of the interrogatory room. Romeo stopped walking and waited for Bastian to arrive in his front. “Bastian.” He called. “Thank you, Romeo.” Bastian showed gratitude. “You’re welcome. Besides, I am just doing my job. I am through with him. You can now see him.” Bastian and Romeo shook hands, and Bastian walked into the corner that led into the interrogatory room. The guy at the entrance opened the door for Bastian and he entered. Immediately, as Bastian stepped in, Chairman Hewitt cracked up. “Why are you here?” He threw a question. “You led me here already, do you come to mock me?” Bastian walked closer. He curtsied his head and sat down. Chairman Hewitt snickered. “You are even showing me respect?” He murmured. Bastian drew the chair closer and sat down. “Good day, sir,” he greeted, inquiring, “how have you been?” “Trust your day has been good?” He as

“What are you talking about, Bastian?” Patricia asked, frowning her forehead, confused. She patiently listened to Bastian explain himself for minutes, leaving her in confusion about what he was talking about. “What do you mean you will release chairman Hewitt if he holds a press conference?” “Calm down, Patricia.” Bastian said. Patricia nodded and calmed herself. “Okay.” “Don’t you believe me anymore, Patricia?” Bastian raised a question. “I do. But-” Patricia wanted to speak, but couldn’t complete her statement to not sound rude. “Patricia, let Chairman Hewitt apologize in public. Please.” He implored. “Bastian, Chairman Hewitt's public apology isn’t a problem.” She poured out. “Then what’s it? Hun?” He inquired. “Bastian, you and I know clearly that everything chairman Hewitt said is true,” she split out. “There is a mastermind behind it. Someone gave him all the information and I need to know the person. I want to know.” “Yes, Patricia. I had the same belief as you till I

Bastian had Ailee go over to Maximo company to help chairman Hewitt set everything since Esther wasn’t around. Ailee walked into chairman Hewitt’s office and curtsied her head. “Everything is ready, sir,” she reported. “The reporters are here. You can come out now.” Chairman Hewitt exhaled deeply. Bastian has bailed him out of the cell, but his mind still wasn't at rest. A part of his mind encouraged him to believe in Bastian and did as he suggested, but he couldn’t take the negative thought out of his mind. ‘What if Bastian just wants to use me?’ ‘What will happen next?’ ‘Should I believe Bastian and Cohen or should I just mention Anna’s name?’ His mind paved way to lots of questions since he had left the prosecutor's custody and he was yet to find an answer. “Can you hear me, sir?” Ailee inquired, observing chairman Hewitt’s face. He expected him to say a word or stand up already, but he didn’t react. Chairman Hewitt raised his gaze, a shocked tone escaping his mouth. “Uhn!”

Chairman Hewitt stepped into the press hall through the right entrance and all eyes set on him. The camera men turned the cameras in his direction and speedily shot pictures. Chairman Hewitt walked to the stage at a slow pace, dragging his feet in a short stride with his face shamefully cast downward. He arrived at the stage with Ailee’s accompaniment and Ailee stepped aside, giving him a space to walk forward to the podium at his convenient pace. Chairman Hewitt stood behind the podium, still fixing his eyes on the ground. The crowd eagerly waited for minutes, expecting chairman Hewitt to say a word already, but he didn’t. “Sir, will you start now?” Sofia threw a question. “Time is going, please.” “Will you speak or delay?” “Why did you call us if you weren’t ready to speak?” “Should we just cancel this?” “Talk, sir.” “Say something.” “Should we just leave?” The reporters protested, tired of waiting for him to start. Ailee bit the left part of her lower lip and took a fe

Chairman Hewitt entered his office, and met Bastian already waiting for him. Bastian stood on his feet and curtsied his head. “Sir.” He said, unable to add another word. Chairman Hewitt cracked up. He walked closer and sat on the other sofa, facing Bastian. “Bastian,” he called. Bastian sat down. He sighed and cast his face downward. “I told Romeo to close the case. You won’t return to the station again.” He proclaimed. Chairman Hewitt tightened his lips, nodding, “thank you, Bastian.” Bastian furrowed his face, chuckling, “you don’t need to thank me. This is a close deal. I promised to get you out if you keep Anna’s involvement a secret.” “I know, but I still want to thank you. What can I do if you didn’t fulfill your promise?” Chairman Hewitt expressed. “You can do a lot. It’s so easy for you to reveal the secret.” Bastian pointed out. “Yes, it is. But I will not. Never.” Chairman Hewitt poured out. “You won’t?” Bastian let out in an amazed. “Why? I mean, why won’t you revea

{Ten days later} Patricia’s car arrived in front of the company and immediately as she got down, she saw Bastian walking out. Bastian walked to her front with a smile. “Madam president.” “Is this out of respect or mockery?” She inquired, giving him confused side eyes. He beamed. “Mockery,” he answered in simplicity. “Isn’t that the nickname Sofia gave to you?” She beamed for a few seconds. “Where is Ailee?” She inquired. “She isn’t back yet.” He responded. “Where is she? Where did she go?” She interrogated. “Did you send her on an errand?” “No. She escorted chairman Hewitt to the airport.” He explained. “Why?” She sounded amazed and confused. “Wasn’t the plan for you to see him off?” “It’s supposed to be both of us, but menstrual cramps did a successful job,” she voiced out. “Why will you let Ailee go instead of you? I don’t like that.” “I didn’t let her go. Chairman Hewitt requested for her,” he explained. “I was already at his place to pick and drop him at the a

-THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m 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.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” 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 Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He 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

“Who is here for me?” 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. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry. I know that’s not an excuse. I shouldn’t involve family matters in business, but I have to sta

“Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

-Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay. I will go call her.” She offered.
