Anna drove into the compound and parked on the wrong side. She intentionally parked behind Cohen’s car and blocked it so that Cohen won’t be able to drive out.She got down from the car and stormed towards the house.Elsie walked out of the house, and seeing Anna coming her way, she wore a welcoming smile. “How-” she wanted to start a conversation immediately as Anna got closer to her, but Anna ignored her and walked past her.Anna abruptly opened the door and barged it behind her, making Elsie take a step backwards, shocked.Elsie spoiled her mouth as if she just licked something bitter. “What’s wrong with her?” She wondered.She elevated her shoulder to the same level as her neck, stretching her hand beside her. “Her problem.” She let out and walked to her car in the parking lot.“Cohen!” Anna called at the peak of her voice. She threw her bag to the sofa, and matched upstairs, taking her steps with anger.She arrived in front of her room and banged in. “Cohen!” She called immediatel

Chairman Hewitt's word kept ringing in Bastian’s head till he left his office, and got into his car, driving back to the office, lost in thought.Bastian was mostly worried about Patricia's wellbeing, causing a part of his mind to warn him against executing what he had already smoothly planned with chairman Hewitt. Thinking about the future, and doubting Patricia’s feelings for him, the dark part of his mind which convinced him to go ahead seemed to win the battle.He suddenly vented his anger on the clutch pedal and pushed it abnormally, causing the steering wheel hard to control and the car moved faster, facing the main road.He hurriedly pushed the brake, but it wasn’t working.His eyes widened, keeping his mouth ajar, helplessly as his car faced a truck which was coming towards him at a high speed.He tried his luck for the last time, and was shocked the brake came to his aid.The car stopped at a roadside, blocking a street road, and the car coming couldn't pass.Bastian rested h

“Where is Bastian?” Patricia raised a question, stumbling onto Ailee immediately as she stepped out of the elevator. “Have you seen him today?”Ailee nodded. “No, ma.” “What’s his schedule for today?” Patricia interrogated. “Did he have a meeting I don't know about?”“Not all, ma.” Ailee answered.“And he didn’t call to tell you about his movement? Maybe an emergency popped up or something or someone needed his urgent attention?” She further asked.“No. He didn't.” Ailee replied.“Where could he rush to?” Patricia sounded worried. She hadn't woken up when Bastian left the house in a hurry early in the morning. She thought he left her behind to attend an emergency, hoping to meet him at the office, but she didn't, and it’s been over three hours since she resumed office, and he hasn't arrived yet.Patricia quickly swiped up her phone and opened the contact app. She pressed the favorite list and only Bastian's number appeared, saved as ‘guardian angel'sShe dialed his numbers, and it ra

Charlotte entered the living room, and met Anna sitting her elbow on her thigh with her hand on her forehead.“Anna…” Charlotte called immediately as she entered, but Anna couldn't hear her because she was deep lost in thought.“Anna…” Charlotte kept calling till she arrived besides Anna, but she still didn't hear her.Charlotte tapped her. “Anna!” She called, raising her voice.Anna was shocked, and she came back to reality, making a shocked tone. “Hun!”Charlotte frowned her forehead, looking at Anna with confusion. She sat down beside her with a part of her bottom, and placed her hand on her back, patting her. “Anna, is everything okay?” She asked with concern.Anna raised her gaze, and a drop of tear fell from her eyes. She quickly wiped the tears and shook her head. “Nothing, I am fine. I am okay.” She let out rapidly, her voice stammering and her eyes still had tears which were held by her eyelids.Charlotte sat comfortably with her full bottom. “Are you sure? You don't look okay

Anna got down from a cab. She was wearing a black short gown, covering her head and half of the face with a black veil.She paid the cabman with cash, and looked left and right suspiciously before she quickly hurriedly paced into the ground floor of Maximo company.Immediately as she entered and walked to the ground floor center, she removed the veil from her face and approached a female staff coming out of the elevator.“Good day.” She let out.The staff member slightly bent her neck. “Good day, ma,” she responded, asking, “how can I help you, please?”“I am here to see the chairman. Chairman Jackson,” Anna stated, requesting, “can you lead me to his office, please?”Davina looked at her from head to toe and gave no response.Anna understood the confused expression on Davina’s face. She removed her sunglasses, introducing, “it’s me, Anna. The wife of Lucas Cohen.”“Oh!” Davina made a surprise tone and quickly bowed her neck. “I am sorry, ma.” She apologized.“Don’t worry, please lead

The car drove into the company, and Patricia rushed down before the car could park properly. She sped onto the ground floor, and she paused for a minute. And continued to walk slowly, maintaining her walking manner. She walked to the center, faking an insincere smile on her face as she responded to the staff members' greetings, and without noticing it, she lost control of her feet and paced faster into the elevator. After waiting for hours yesterday, Bastian refused to go home with her and ordered the driver to take her home first. She waited for him till midnight, but he didn’t come home. She repeatedly called his number, but he refused to pick it up, till his number was no longer reachable so she resumed to office earlier because she was worried and wanted to see him, but as she came out of the and turned to the corner which led to Bastian’s office, a thought passed through her mind, causing her to halt. “Does he want to see him?” She raised a question and found it difficult to

Patricia entered the conference room with Ailee accompaniment, and all directors set their gaze on her.She paced to her seat and all the directors, except Chairman Hewitt, stood on their feet and curtsied their heads to pay their respects for her.She bowed her head in return and sat down. And the directors also had their seats.Patricia looked at Bastian’s empty seat and slightly glanced over her shoulder to look at Ailee behind her, and wrinkled at her, ordering her to come closer.Ailee paced closer to Patricia and bent beside her, putting her ear closer to her mouth. “Where is Bastian?” Patricia asked.“I don’t know, ma,” Ailee answered, explaining, “he left the office to receive a call, and he hasn’t come back since then.”“Don’t he know it’s time for the meeting?” Patricia let out with the concern in her voice, matching the one roaming on her face. “Have you checked around?”“I haven’t checked, ma. But he should be within the company,” Ailee made a reply, explaining, “I saw him

“Hun!”Chairman Hewitt’s eyes widened in shock, and his mouth kept ajar for a moment before he could say a word. “Bastian, what are you doing?!” He questioned in a high voice.Bastian walked out of his seat, and paced to Patricia, who was eyeing the scene with her eyebrows raised up, and her mouth kept densely ajar.Bastian arrived beside her and bowed his head. “Sister, thank you for trusting the whole process,” he appreciated, filling his lips with a lovely smile Patricia hadn’t seen in a while. He lifted his head and apologized. “I am sorry for making you worried. Hope I am forgiven?”Patricia smiled with her full lips and nodded her head. “Yes, you are forgiven.” She let out. She stood on her feet and ran to Bastian excitedly.“Thank you, Bastian. Thank you for not forsaking. I was scared. You are all I've got.” She hurriedly poured out, with tears rolling out of her eyes, falling on Bastian’s arm.Bastian smiled. “I am sorry for scaring you,” he pleaded. He took the remaining one

-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.
