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.

    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

    Ailee paced closer and helped to hold Patricia on the other side. “Let her sit down.” She suggested, and Bastian quickly walked Patricia to her seat and sat her down.“Let me get her water.” Ailee let out, and Bastian nodded.“Okay,” he permitted. “Please be fast.”Ailee put her phone in her pocket and hurriedly paced out.Immediately as Ailee closed the door behind her, a drop of tear fell from Patricia’s eyes, and she slightly raised her face to look at Bastian.“Bastian, what is going on?” She inquired. “What did they publish about me?”“They revealed your past, and had some lies to it.” Bastian disclosed.“Let me see it.” She requested.Bastian took his phone out and unlocked it. He stretched the phone to her, and as she lengthened her hand to collect it, Bastian moved his hand back a bit, preventing her hand from touching it.“What’s it?” She questioned.“Patricia, you already know what this is all about, and without seeing it yet, you are feeling down already,” he let out. “Must

    “To all men in the world… Think twice before you break a promise with a woman. Never hurt a woman because you never know what she may become,“Their hearts are fragile. Treat them like eggs. They care a lot about a man they love. Once you are off the list, your living and death have nothing to do with them anymore. They won't care,“If a broken woman wants revenge, prepare to face the worst fate from her. They are the salt of the earth. They are sweeteners of the universe. Once they set out to something, they are unstoppable unless they decide to show mercy,“They are nice and can be brutal within a blink of an eye. With women's involvement, almost everything is possible. They are flowers. Do your best to treat them right. If you hurt them, whether or not they want revenge, karma is real, and woman’s tear rapidly trigger it,“Man, be careful out there.”Cohen listened to the radio presenter’s warning, which was used to round up the program. He reduced the radio volume and discharged a

    “Sir, the account is untraceable. It was posted anonymously and the original post has been taken down.” The tracker report kept coming up in Cohen’s head.He summed up Patricia’s accusation with the tracker report and started to believe his family was involved, making him drive recklessly so he could get home early and clear his mind.He zoomed into the compound at a high speed and rushed down from the car. He ran into the house in a flash and abruptly opened the door.He banged on the door behind him, and walked closer to her mother and Elsie, who were already standing on their feet, shocked at the manner he opened and shut the door.He arrived before them, and eyed them without saying a word.Seeing a plaster on Cohen’s forehead, Charlotte’s eyes widened, and she stepped closer to him, touching his head. “My son, what’s wrong with you?” She asked. The worry in her voice matched the concern on her face.Cohen gently took her mother’s hand away from his head and helped put it beside he

    “Oh! This is her past she is hiding?”“It’s truly dark!”“She divorced for cheating in their marriage!”“She didn’t divorce her husband, her husband divorce her!”“She doesn’t know the father of her child!”“She is a disgrace to the organization!”“She will tarnish this organization's image!”“She is a whore! A bad person!”“No wonder she is a single mother. No man will want someone like her!”“Fuck her!” “Remove her from her position!”Warm tears welled in Patricia's eyes and overflowed like a river, reading hateful comments under posts about her.She sniffed and breathed out. “Patricia, you are strong. Remember, you promised Bastian not to cry again,” she said to herself, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing out. “Stop crying. Just stop.”She wanted to continue scrolling through the comments sections, but stopped to pay attention to the sound she heard.She confirmed it was Bastian's footsteps and quickly pressed the back button. She turned on the mobile data and hid the phone u

    Patricia slowly opened her eyes till they fully opened. She raised her head and sat up on the bed.She felt a slight pain in her head, causing her to wither her face and touched her forehead, moaning, “uhm”She crawled her bottom backward and rested her back and head on the wall.After relaxing for a few minutes, she raised her head from the wall and turned her face to the right side to pick up her phone. She picked up her phone and a small paper fell on the floor. “What’s that?” She wondered. She wanted to ignore it, but couldn't. She moved a bit and lengthened her hand till it reached the paper.She picked the wrapped paper and slowly unfolded it.“Hey sister! Remember, you are stronger than you think, braver than you feel, and capable of overcoming anything that comes your way. Right now, it may seem like the darkness is closing in, but know that the sun is still shining, and its light will soon break through the clouds.”She smiled and continued reading.“Every storm will pass, an

    “No!”“Please!”“Stop!”“I am sorry!”“This is painful!”Anna heard voices climbing the stairs. She halted and frowned her forehead, trying to pay attention to the noise.“Who is that?” She wondered and listened to the noises attentively.“Forgive me, please. This is so painful.”She continued to hear the noise till the voice sounded familiar, and figuring who it was, her eyes widened in shock. “Is that-” she let out, but couldn't complete her statement before she picked up her speed and ascended the stairs faster.She opened the door abruptly and barged into the room to see Cohen rapidly shaking his head with tears streaming out of his closed eyes.She stood at a spot for a minute, eyeing her from a little this. “Wh… what’s going on?” She raised a question in a low voice. Her voice shaking in fear mixed with confusion.“Please, save me. You're my only savior. I need your help. Please don't leave me. Don't hate me.” Cohen spoke again, but in a lower voice.Anna swallowed her saliva de

    -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.

    “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

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.

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.
