Harry chuckled, rubbing his suddenly sweaty palms together. "Okay… Let's hear these questions."

It was obvious that he was nervous, the erratic movement of his eyes gave that away even though he managed to keep his voice steady.

Jake smirked. "Who is Laura Montenegro?"

He leaned back on the backrest of the chair he was sitting on, his gaze on Harry intent like he didn't want to miss even the slightest detail of his overall expression.

A blank expression formed on Harry's face. "Laura who? Who is that?" He seemed to be genuinely confused, Jake observed.

"The lady you paid to sleep with me on my twentieth birthday," Jake happily shared more information as he pulled out a folded sheet of paper from his tuxedo suit pocket and passed it to Harry from across the table.

"That's the transaction details from back then. You made the transfer from your own account, remember?" Jake said.

Harry unfolded the paper and peeped at its content. "Ahhhh! So Laura was her name. I didn't take that into

    *FLASHBACKS — 8 YEARS AGO* "Hey sis, wait up!" Ten year old Mathew Stewart screamed at his sister as he struggled to keep up with her. She was walking so fast, he was literally out of breath chasing after her. Mathew was dressed in his school uniform of grey khaki pants, a short sleeved button down shirt with a bow tie around the collar, and a knitted grey cardigan worn over the shirt, matched with long white pair of stockings in black leather shoes matching the black leather belt he wore around the waist of his pants. His uniform was neat and well ironed giving one the illusion of him being a smart student which he didn't think himself to be. But then, maybe he was smart but didn't know it as he never studied. Studying was just so hard, he couldn't bring himself to do it no matter how hard he tried! He and his sister were weaving their way through a horde of other students walking in through the wide open gates of JK Academy. This was the school both Mathew and his sister Maddi

    Jake got a call from Steve right after his meeting. He was still at the company suite where the meeting had been held although Mathew and Micheal had gone ahead to bring the car up front from the parking lot."He called your mother. Just like we suspected he would," Steve informed as soon as Jake picked the call. Jake simply hummed in response to his words. His mind too perturbed to bring himself to speak."I will send you the recording of their call right away," Steve spoke again.Jake let out another hum, and then disconnected the call, a heavy sigh escaping his lips.The duo had predicted that Harry would call his mother right after Jake confronted him so they had arranged a woman for Harry the previous night, to meet him at a bar he frequented and get him to take her to bed. Harry's weakness was alcohol and women so it was an easy plan to construct. While at it, the woman they hired had tapped into Harry's cell phone by installing a spy software, which the hacker who worked wi

    Mathew turned to Micheal as soon as they both got out of the car. "That man that was with our boss back at the Italian restaurant, who is he?" "His name is Harry Hudson. He is the CEO of Invicta Tech Corporation," Micheal replied. "Oh," Mathew muttered. The tech Corporation was well known nationwide. How come he didn't know the CEO was the man he met years ago? The man who ruined the life of his sister and even his own. "Umm, does he have kids?" hd couldn't help but ask. Micheal passed him a quizzical look. "The man isn't even married. He does have the reputation of sleeping around with about any woman so it's possible he might have kids out of wedlock but that isn't known to the public so I don't know for sure if he has kids or not … Why are you interested in this man anyway?" Mathew thought quickly. "He just umm, looks like someone I met years ago but I guess I was mistaken." It wasn't entirely a lie. Only the last part of his statement was a lie but it was necessary lie.

    In the deep of the night, Jake quietly lay wide awake with his wife's hair sprawled on his bare chest. She was deep asleep and snuggling against him. Tried as he may, sleep eluded him. There was just a lot on his mind keeping him awake.Why didn't his mother want him to find the woman he had slept with on his birthday? Why was she even involved in the plot his friends had made to get him laid that night? It didn't make any sense! None of it! He had to find out what connection his mother had with all of this. Why she was even involved in this? Apparently, Harry knew… He just had to figure out a way to get it all out of him. And there was only one sure way he knew how to.Reaching for his phone on the bedside table, he sent a text message to Steve. Afterwards, he shut his eyes and tried harder to lure the goddess of sleep…Meanwhile, Mathew was sitting with his back resting against the wooden backrest of his bed. A laptop was on his laps and his eyes were fixed intently on its screen

    Maddie woke up when her alarm went off, feeling quite energetic. Jake had already woken up as usual and had crept out of the room. She wondered how he managed to wake up so early, every damn day. And he didn't usually use an alarm clock like her. Both his body and his brain must have been conditioned over the years to wake up around a specific time, she concluded. Getting off the bed, Maddie made her way straight to the bathroom for a quick shower. A few minutes later, she stepped back into the room to look for something casual to wear as she wanted to head to the kitchen for her normal routine. She would change her clothes after she was done to something more formal that she could wear to the fashion school. Jakd had made some space for her in his wardrobe and although she didn't exactly move all of her things into his room, she had stocked his wardrobe with enough of her clothing.Settling for leggings, and then wearing a hoodie over it, she hurriedly brushed her hair, and then

    "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. So, what's it going to be Harry?" Jake's expression was devoid of any emotion as he spoke while sitting cross legged on a wooden chair across another wooden chair in which Harry was tied on. Harry had both his feets and hands tied together and was also tied to the chair with a rope around his waist and the chair. His handsome face was now almost unrecognisable because of how swollen it had become from being hit repeatedly by Jake's ruthless bodyguards. He even had a swollen eye and lower lip. Save for the two wooden chairs, there were no other furniture in the room. In fact, the room was literally an empty space. Positioned in respective corners of the room were Jake's bodyguards with two of them standing right behind Jake. "Jake…" Harry's voice was tearful. "I really don't know anything. Please let me go. You can get arrested for this you…" The rest of his words were slammed right down his throat as one of the bodyguards standin

    Realizing that his outburst must have come across as rude, Harry cleared his throat awkwardly. "Umm, I mean, you umm…" he stuttered, not knowing what to say. Wasn't she supposed to be upset about their plot? Like every sane parent would have been? Linsley smiled. "I know you boys mean well. I am also worried about my son and would like to see him be with a woman. That way I can beat my chest and dissuade any rumours about him being gay or impotent," bringing down her voice a pitch lower, she added, "They are already talking about him you know, people at the family company and even the society, hence my worry." The three boys nodded nervously while exchanging discomforting glances. They were not ignorant of the rumours already circulating about their friend, Jake's mother was right. Still, it was slightly discomforting to them for her to meddle like this. "Harry, right?" The woman's voice sounded, compelling Harry to turn to her on hearing his name. She also had her face turned to

    **PRESENT** Harry's face was lowered to the floor as he made his narration, his voice carried with it a certain heaviness that could be felt by all in the room. Jake wasn't sure if the heaviness in his voice was as a result of guilt or regret or both. Maybe it had nothing to do with neither regret nor guilt. Maybe he was only scared for his life. "I was lucky to find the perfect high school girl that fit your mother's criteria, the very day I started my search. I was snooping around JK Academy when I caught sight of this pair of siblings from a distance. A sister and a brother. It wasn't hard to tell they were siblings because they shared some uncanny resemblance," Harry paused but continued almost immediately. "When the sister left, I approached the brother, a kid, seemingly not more than 10 years of age. I befriended him and it was from him I got all the information I needed to get his sister…" Something stirred within Jake at the mention of the word 'siblings'. His heart b

    The long awaited day of the trial of the state versus Linsley Conat finally came. As the masses were now actively involved in this case, Linsley Conat had been unable to bribe her way out of prison. The few people she knew in power in the judiciary system refused to help her. Her last resort, which had been to fake mental illness, had fallen apart because her son had made sure to cut her off completely from those that might be able to help her fake the reports and all the other necessary documents. Backed in a corner, helpless, all she had been able to do was wait dejectedly in her cell for the day of her trial…"All rise!"Everyone in the courtroom rose immediately as the command from the judicial assistant rang out. The judge stepped in and it was after he took his seat that he muttered a lazy, "Sit!" and everyone else in the courtroom took their respective seats.From across the courtroom, Linsley's almost lifeless eyes caught sight of her son and she gave him the most deathly st

    It was all over the news the next morning being a Saturday, every news channel was airing it. Newspapers, magazines both online and in hard copy print all carried the news of the arrest of Linsley Conat. The news however didn't say under what grounds she was arrested but in the news published by Starlight Media agency, they announced that the son of Linsley Conat, Jake Conat had agreed to an exclusive interview to discuss the subject of his mother's arrest and give them all the scoop there was. The interview was scheduled for the next day being Sunday. The internet was in a frenzy. Jake got a call from the company warning him not to come because the paparazzi were everywhere. Even the security stationed far ahead at the entrance of the street leading to the mansion had called to inform him that the paparazzi were gathered there as well. Thankfully, the paparazzi couldn't get into the street because of the tight security at the entrance so they couldn't get anywhere close to the ma

    It was a lot. Everything that had happened in the past couple days. It was too much revelation. She was angry, bitter, sad, frustrated, and hurt but most of all, what she felt the most was fear. The fear of losing the love she shared with Jake. The fear of losing the happiness he had brought into her life. The fear of losing the peace he had brought her. The fear of losing the complete perfect family she had envisioned. The fear of losing her brother even. It was because of this fear that she hadn't come to a decision all the while or even address the situation. Now she was ready. She knew what she had to do. Karen had ended their session with the words, "Maddie dear, don't forget that the past is past. It actually has no control whatsoever on your present or future, not unless you allow it. Your happiness does not lie in the past but in your now." Karen's words had been the final push she had needed to come to a decision… "Welcome mummy," Andrew who was in the living room rushed

    Maddie had been sitting right across Karen for roughly fifteen minutes already, yet she hadn't said a word other than the greeting she had muttered to the lady when she had first stepped in. The warm smile playing on the therapist's face didn't falter, she continued waiting patiently for Maddie to speak. Drawing a sharp breath, Maddie finally opened her mouth to speak. "I umm, it's umm, complicated. I don't even know where to start." Karen's smile widened. "You can start anywhere you like Maddie. " The way Karen's office was designed, it was a modern office setting with an office table and a chair, and then across the table on the other end were two other chairs, arranged to slantingly face each other. There were a stretch of cupboards right behind the office table and chairs, at the far end of the wall, it contained drawers containing files of patients. Ahead of the office table before one got to the door or if one came from the door, were two adjacent reclining sofas. This w

    "Idiot!" Linsley cursed under her breath the moment Stephanie was gone, kicking at her feet in fury, and just then her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and then picked the call rather hurriedly. "So, have you found that fool Harry?" she asked the person on the other line. "No we haven't. He seems to have disappeared," came the reply from the person on the other line. "Then find his f**king family fool and use them to lure him out!" She practically yelled into the phone. "Well, umm, his father and younger sister have disappeared as well. I think your son is protecting them by keeping them hidden somewhere." "Arrrgh!" Linsley screamed, tossing her phone across the wall in anger. "Incompetent fools!" she cursed, and then started to parade about the room. Her son was protecting Harry! Was he f**king insane? He had threatened to send her to jail but it had just been an empty threat, right? Well, she was beginning to think of the threat as more than just an empty threat.

    Jake couldn't believe she was really in his arms. Sleeping so soundly with her face pressed against his chest. He had been on his way out to get himself a fresh cup of coffee when the knock on his door had sounded. He had immediately known it was her. So, he had quickly answered the door and alas! It had been indeed her!Even though she had not exactly voiced out her reason for being there, he had seen it playing so evidently in her eyes. But then, there had been conflicting emotions playing in her eyes too and she had almost scurried away. Thank goodness he hadn't let her! He hadn't known where the courage had come from to ask her to stay and let him cuddle her. He had almost thought she wouldn't stay or let him even as much as touch her but she had agreed. She had stayed and now she was in his arms.However, Jake didn't know whether to be pleased or not. It was almost like she was giving herself one last time to be with him, and then afterwards she would leave him for good. It wa

    "You umm, you have something on your mouth," Jake's voice sounded seconds later when Maddie didn't look away like he had expected her to when their gazes first locked. His shaky voice gave away his nervousness. He wasn't lying though, she did have food particles smeared on one corner of her lips.On hearing his words, Maddie reached for a serviette piece on the table to wipe her mouth all over as Jake hadn't specifically pointed out the part of her mouth that was smeared with food particles. And she wasn't ready to ask him for specifics. As she performed this action, Jake found his eyes lowering to her lips, swallowing as he remembered how it tasted. She finished cleaning her mouth, her eyes returning to him and catching the desire playing in his eyes. Her gaze on him turned into a glare and he quickly looked away from her feeling slightly embarrassed. "Mummy, can you please pass me the ketchup?" Andrew's voice was Jake's saving grace as Maddie averted her gaze from him to her s

    Jake did well to stay out of Maddie's way for the rest of the evening. Even skipping dinner. He was already content enough that she had returned to the mansion although he knew that her reason for returning was most probably because of her son. It had been evident in her face earlier when she saw him after getting out of the car. The way she had turned away from him so swiftly. He was pretty sure that if she could, she would have dug a hole and hidden herself in it right there and then. It was how much she despised him now. Well, she did have every right to. Closing his laptop, Jake rose from his chair and started to make his way out of the office study. He proceeded towards the kitchen in the second floor, opening the refrigerator to take out a foil covered plate. The plate contained the quesadilla pizza his son had given him earlier saying that Maddie and him had baked it and kept some for him. He knew that them keeping some for him was all his son and not at all Maddie's decis
