"What did you just say?" Alex find himself stuttering, as he couldn't bring himself to believe what Rosy had said. Maybe he's the one hearing wrong or Rosy had decide to pull a prank on him.

‘It must be a prank...’ Alex breathed in slowly and deeply, trying to cajole himself with false word. ‘Or perhaps, I'm the one who did not catch her words correctly.’ How could she be pregnant at this time of all time? How did it happen?

Rosy raised her left brow as the smile suddenly left her face and her eyes too, unable to pinpoint Alex's reaction towards the news she has been dying to tell him, and as well was expecting a positive attitude from him —at least.

Alex decide to pick his words carefully, so as not to hurt Rosy with it as well as himself. "Can you slowly repeat what you said?" He asked her, his voice calm but firm. "You know, what you said a few moment ago, please?"

Alex's question had stirred a little hope inside Rosy. ‘Maybe he's too excited to digest the news at once.’ She though

    Xavier watched his brothers leave as well as Ella too and slumped onto the nearest couch, feeling numbness in his knee. He couldn't stop himself from sighing continuously as his mind raced back to barely three years ago when he could go to wherever he want and do whatever he desire.But things drastically changed barely a year ago when Andy, his son, made the suggestion of selling the groups for an unknown buyer which turns out to be Lisa, their supposed long dead niece.The money they gained from selling the groups to Lisa, after the three brothers shared it among themselves, in no time was where to be found —they can't even give account of how they had spend the money. If there's anything the three brothers are very good at, it's squandering whatever money they lay their hands on, no matter how they earn it.Now broke and continuously relying on Andy, Xavier felt like he needed more —his thirst for wealth can't be quench easily as he sees the money Andy do give him as a meager compa

    Alex sat slouched in his leather office chair, gazing blankly at the computer screen as his mind meandered through a maze of conflicting emotions. The news of Rosy's pregnancy lingered heavily in his thoughts, a bittersweet turmoil that tugged at his heart.Shouldn't he be elated, celebrating the impending arrival of a child? Not just any child but his! But instead, his mind betrayed him, conjuring images of a different woman, a different life.A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he berated himself for his internal turmoil. "Lisa… it should have been Lisa." He mumbled under his breath, the mere thought offering an illusory solace that only deepened his inner struggle.Alex absentmindedly smiled at himself as the thought of Lisa being pregnant instead of Rosy lifted his spirit. He assured himself of how much happy he would be to have her break such delightful news to him. The multiple knock on his desk disrupted his reverie, and he stiffened as his eyes laid on Jamel, concern etched in t

    *FIVE YEARS LATER*Alex is seen heading straight to his office. He despise going late to office, most especially, if it's a Monday morning and now he knew time is not by his side. He is focused on getting to the office before he run too late. On getting to the office, he met Jamel standing at his door already lost in his own world and by his facial expression, Alex could tell that he is worried about something that he could not fathom what possibly might be about him too. "Jamel..." Alex uttered, calling out making Jamel who had not notice his presence until now, only to get stunned with the presence of his boss. "Mr. Williams ..." He replied, heaving a sigh of relieve as he rushed towards Alex and helped him with his briefcase he's with. "Good morning." "Oh, yeah. Morning, what happened? You look worried." Alex probed as he went inside his office and Jamel following his trail. "What is it that you are worried about? You can tell me." "I thought you must have forgotten about th

    Alex's meeting with Ryan Lerman, the owner of El Salvador's cooperation, wasn't the type that takes much of each others time but as well, it can't be called brief. Ryan was just the type of man Alex had figured him to be, his theory did not fail.Alex has dealt with hundreds of people before and with his couple of years experience, he was able to tell what kind of clients each one of them would turn out to be. Ryan Lerman, just as Alex had predicted might be a hard nut to crack but he definitely knows what he wants."If the deal goes well as discussed and none did breach the contract, I can assure you that there are lots of deals to come in the future." Ryan Lerman told Alex straightforwardly, his voice was hoarse but professional stable."Sure, you earn my trust and that of my company's too, I can assure you that." Alex replied with the same vibe as his new client. "...and I look forward to more business proposal from you, Mr. Lerman."Their terms on the business proposal was accepte

    Alex walked in, holding Vanessa's hand in his. His gaze met with his wife, Rosy, who was sitting comfortably on the couch with her left leg crossed over her right leg. Rosy was watching her favorite soap opera but turn her head towards the opposite direction when she heard the door creaked. "You are here..." She stated simply with no emotion whatsoever in her voice and just as she had turned her gaze towards the direction of the door, she turned her gaze again, this time, back to the television."Is that a proper way of welcoming your daughter and husband who has been away for couple of hours?" Alex asked as they strode towards Rosy. "Forget about me, not even a hug? To your only daughter?"Rosy scoffs, an irritated look on her face. "You see I'm busy, Alex, you should at least apply some manners here." She told him, countering. "Why must you read much meaning into little things that doesn't even matter? What's the big deal if I don't hug Vanessa, she's no more a toddler, you know!"

    A hush descended upon the room, the kind that makes the air feel thick and suffocating, as if a storm were about to break. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the shrill ring of the doorbell.Alex felt his heart leap into his throat because it came too suddenly, but Rosy seemed completely at ease as though she had been waiting for it. "Looks like the drama is about to begin..." Rosy quipped, and Alex, on the other hand, caught the sly smile that played on Rosy's lips. Alex was weary of Rosy's smile but only shrugged it off and the silence returned. Barely five seconds after the first shrill of the doorbell, the silence was broken again. Alex groaned softly as he reluctantly walked up to the door and opened it slowly, and peeped to see who it was. "Oh, it's you!" He drawled and sighed in relieve when he saw the person before him.The fellow turned out to be Jamel. "Good day, Mr Williams..." He greeted him, flashing his usual small smile of his. "Oh, Jamel..." Alex muffled out, his e

    It was supposed to be a side and quick hug but Andy couldn't let go. Five years without her feels like a five thousand years to him, seeing her before him doesn't feel surreal at all —it was like a dream and he wished he won't wake up from it."It's really you, right, Lisa?" Andy asked, immediately they disengaged from the hug. His eyes were running all over her as though he was checking her out, well to be sure he wasn't dreaming. "This is the same Lisa I've known to be my Coz, right?"Lisa laughed softly at his naivety. "Have you been seeing my doppelganger behind my back?" She asked, a glint of sarcasm in her voice."Whoa, mom..." Xenia, Lisa's daughter and the female among the twin, squealed in excitement as her eyes shone brightly. "You do have a doppelganger and you didn't tell Klaus and I? That's awesome!"Lisa furrowed her brows, completely taken aback. "Wait, what?" She blurted out, short of words.Xenia jumped happily, still squealing in delight. "I can't wait to meet her, m

    "There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha

    The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go

    When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her

    "I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I

    As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

    "Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing

    Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H

    It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog

    Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
