Ailee looked at chairman Hewitt with her lips shaped to the left a bit. “Who?” She asked. “Who is it? Tell us. We are in a fix. This is a time we can’t leave any tree untouched. We must scatter everyone and anything. No clue shall be left behind.”

Chairman Hewitt sighed and licked his lips. He stared at Cohen’s face. “I’m sorry, Cohen, I thought it won’t get to this extent and I won’t have to mention but I can’t hold myself back anymore.” He apologized in a low voice.

Cohen furrowed his face, confused. “What are you talking about, sir?” He asked.

“Your wife, Anna…” chairman Hewitt disclosed. He slightly faced downward and sighed before he lifted his gaze and split out. “Since you feel so concern about this incident, I felt it won’t be right I drag her into this. I didn’t want to make things hard for you. I think they need to arrest Anna.”

Cohen joggled his head in acceptance. “Yes, you are right…” he let out.

“Hun!” Chairman Hewitt exclaimed. He didn’t except such a statement to come

    Anna and Charlotte were watching the Tv in the sitting room and a knocked on the door made then paused the movie and took a second to hear clearly.“Someone is knocking.” Charlotte let out.“Yes.” Anna joggled her head. She placed the tv remote on the table and stood on her feet.She paced to the door and cracked it to check who it was, and seeing Mila and two others guy, she furrowed her face and spoke with them with unfamiliarity. “Good day. Who are you, please?” She flung a question even before Mila, who was standing right in front of her, could open her mouth to say a word.Mila bent her neck. “Good day, madam,” she responded, tinting her lips with a beam. She dug her hand into her chest pocket and took out her Id card. She lifted the card and showed it to Anna, introducing, “I am Mila. From A division police station and behind me are my colleagues.”Anna sluggishly nodded her head. “Okay,” she uttered. She already guessed why they came, but she still ask. “So, how may I help you?

    “Good day, ma.” Mila greeted, drawing the chair backward to sit, but Anna didn’t respond. Instead, Anna crossed her hand over her chest and turned her face to the left.Mila chuckled and sat in the chair. “This won’t save you…” she uttered. She took her phone out of the pocket, pressed it for a few second and placed it on the table between them. She rested her hands on the table and proclaimed. “The interrogation session will begin now.”“I don’t care.” Anna said in a whisper, but Mila could hear her.“Mrs. Ailee, what is between you and Mrs. Patricia, the president of Ivy organization?” Mila threw a question and Anna gave an instant answer.“Nothing. There’s nothing between me and her.”“Okay. Have you met her in the past? Have you crossed path before and when was the last time you saw her?” Mila asked.“One question at a time, please,” Anna complained with her right index fingers raised. She sighed and responded. “Yes, I’ve met her in the past and we’ve crossed part on countless occa

    Anna furrowed her face. “What are you talking about, sir?” She questioned.“Stop pretending Anna, it's late already. I’ve already explained everything,” Chairman Hewitt proclaimed.Anna elevated her shoulder to the level of her neck. “What do you mean you’ve explained everything? I don’t even understand a word from what you are saying,” she let out. “I don’t understand you, chairman Hewitt. Please.”“Aren’t you trying to complete the mission you started with me?” Chairman Hewitt threw a question.Anna scoffed. “What mission did I start with you, old man?” she queried. “Stop causing confusion and let them find other information they can work on. You’re a devil and I am not the one you will gang against to be a hero.”Chairman Hewitt cracked up. “Be a hero?” He let out, amazed. He snickered and slowly took his steps forward. “I was never one, and I didn’t claim to be. I don’t even want to be because it’s boring. All I am after is finding the truth.”Anna raised her eyebrows. “Finding a

    “Park,” Anna commanded. She accepted Victor’s offer to give him a ride home after he frustrated her, but she won’t allow him to take her to the front of their man because she didn’t want him to know her place. “I will drop here. Thank you.”“Hun?!” Victor exclaimed. He looked at the surrounding and stared at her face, questioning, “Why? Why will you drop here? This is the street entrance. Don’t you want me to know your place?”Anna took a deep breath and faced him. “Thank God you know,” she uttered. She closed her eyes and opened it before the upper eyelid could touch the lower one and furthered. “We are meeting again for the first time in a while, so I thought I should respect you by lying, but since you figure it out, I will be straightforward.”“Yes, Victor. I don’t want you to take me home because I don’t want you to know my place.” She revealed.Victor cracked up. “You think you are smart?” He said in a questioning tone. He scoffed again and let out. “If I want to know your place

    Bob stepped out of his villa and looked at the left side. “Is everything ready now?” He directed a question to Ayi, his right-hand man, who was standing gallantly with two other guys behind him.“Yes,” Ayi responded with his neck bent a little. “Everything is set so we can move now.”“Ayi, are you sure everything is set properly and we can make a move now? This operation involves Elsie, so we must not make any mistake,” Bob proclaimed. “Have you received a report from our spy?”Ayi bent his neck. “Yes, boss,” he uttered, explaining, “it was from the little information she gathered we used to set up our plan. I already drafted how we will move and I believe there’s no cause for alarm.”“Before we go, did she confirm some visitors are in their jungle?” Bob interrogated. He cared a lot about Elsie and seeing she was so concerned about the incident, he wanted to do everything to help and won’t want any mistake. “Maybe she suspected any move or notice some strange people and movement.”Ayi

    “Are we going together or we will move separately?” Bob asked.“We will leave together, but we will board a different canoe,” Ayi explained. “You will take the canoe that is going directly to the south jungle and for me and others I will be leading, I have a different one prepared for us already.”“That’s great,” Bob uttered. He veered around and took a step forward, adding, “let’s leave now and we will continue the conversation on the way.”“Okay, boss.” Ayi said, with his neck bent a bit. He glanced backward and ordered. “Let’s go.”Ayi led to follow Bob while others walked behind him with an interval of a few steps between them.‘We’ve got to succeed.’ Bob said in silence, stepping out of the entrance.They arrived at the seaside and immediately, as Bob put his right foot inside the canoe, Elsie screamed his name and waved from the canoe, which was still a little farther from them.“Hey! Bob!”Bob quickly figured out it was her even before he could raise his gaze to look in her dir

    Bob brightened his smile and stretched his right hand forward. “Yes, it’s me,” he said in a cool tone. “I am here to make peace and not fight.”“And who said there’s a room for peace between us?”A voice came from behind and they traced it to their back, causing them to turn their neck until their gazes caught a lady standing behind them.Immediately as the south jungle member sighted the lady, they quickly bowed their heads and greeting came from all angles. “Good day, our lady.” Both the young and adult greeted her, but she responded to known; she didn’t act as if she notice their present.“Who is she?” Elsie whispered, with her eye fixed on the lady, who has already started walking towards them elegantly.Bob joggled his head. “I don’t know,” he said in simplicity. He shook his head again. “I have no idea of who she is.”The guards has already stopped and didn’t talk to Bob and his guys because of the lady’s presence.“They just called her our lady.

Agree or not?”“Strongly disagree.” Bob choose without giving her question a second thought.“Hun!” Elsie exclaimed, with her eyes widened. She looked at Bob’s face and called. “Bob…”She withered her face. “How can you choose that?” She questioned and instantly reprimanded her. “You can’t do that. You can go. I will stay behind and wait for them. My present there won’t even help. Please, accept to go inside without me,”She faced Mia and grabbed her hand. “Please, Mia, he will go alone. His decision is wrong. Allow him to go inside and meet your brother, please.” She pleaded.Bob walked closer and pulled Elsie backward.

    -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.

    “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.
