Ryan could barely sleep throughout the night as he was eager for the day to break, he seemed to be in a haste for something bothering him hard —he was restless and could barely wait for whatever was bothering him to be solved.

Immediately he realized it was dawn, he hastily did his morning routine and was ready for work without breakfast —he'll be lucky to have a bite or two before lunch. Ever since Anne had left him, he barely had breakfast and most times, he had to be on an empty stomach until lunch.

Though reluctantly and wasn't in the mood to go anywhere for the day, even with his anxious self, he still has the mixed feeling of staying back home. But on the other hand, he needed to get to the office.

“I don't think we will go ahead with the idea of taking a loan from the bank anymore.” Ryan told Miriam with a straight face that was holding no expression.

Miriam was astonished, why did he change plan all of a sudden? Not when the company had concluded that they were going t

    Her walking steps were majestic and graceful as her heels clicked against the marbled floor. Her aura was not the type that no one wouldn't dare notice, and her presence screamed authority.The little boy who seemed to hold her left hand with his grip tightened around it beamed with smiles, the type that was reaching his eyes and doesn't seem like it will be leaving his face anytime soon.He stared around, his gaze roaming the surrounding frantically. He seemed to be looking for someone or something, but soon enough, he was snapped out of his eye search at the sudden voice that came out of nowhere.“Ma'am…" The soft but audible voice called out, and she stopped on her track, same as the little boy, before facing the source of the voice. “Good morning, ma'am.”Instead of a reply, she nodded her head to the greeting in response. “What's the news, Milan?” She requested sharply, her voice was laced with the authority she carried.The lady, whose name turned out to be Milan, nodded curtly

    Ciara knew her son was right with his words, even without wearing any facial expression on him —she knew he was hurt with the way he related his phrase, if not, disappointed. She barely had time since the past few weeks, always occupied with work and meetings.She had, times without number, promised herself to squeeze out time out of her busy schedule for him, but she was mistaken, work wouldn't stop weighing her down, and it seemed to be getting more complex than the previous.Ciara walked up to her son with self guilty as she placed her right palms on his shoulder, patting it. “Don't worry, pumpkin…” She said with an assuring smile. “Mom would surely make it up to you soon, okay…?”“Soon…? When…?” His voice was quick in demand, expecting something more soothing from his mother. “When this mom planning to make it up to me, I'm tired of waiting until forever.”Ciara sighed. “Soon enough, son. Don't you trust Mommy's word?” She asked him slowly, smiling.“Of course, I do. I was only —”

    Ciara's staff had called her attention to a company putting a notification up in a newspaper for the interest of shareholders and investors for itself.Since the past few months, Ciara's main interest aside the goals she set, aside for her company, was being a shareholder in order company who are willingly giving part of their company up for this —and the staff, having seen a related article, decided to call her boss's, Ciara, attention to it.Ciara opened to the mentioned page and had barely spent a few seconds on it, her facial expression crackled as it dropped to its least, her brows were creased with astonishment as well as curiosity.She was balled over as she found it hard to believe her eyes and felt like she was the one seeing things. What she saw on the page was enough to throw her off guard —it's far more than what she had expected.“Okay. This can't be true.” She muttered to herself, shaking her head like she was trying to wade off illusion from her head. “This definitely i

    Ciara came out of the car alongside Herzl, who seemed to be excited to see his uncle after all this while, with his face beaming with smiles as it always does.“Its been ages, little sister.” Dwayne uttered with a wide smile that was reaching his eyes immediately he saw Ciara approaching him.Ciara shook her head slightly in disapproval. “Not that long, like you've assumed.” She replied, reciprocating the smile and giving him a warm embrace.“Yeah, I know.” Dwayne nodded before turning his attention to Herzl, who did not bother to interrupt their exchanging of pleasantries. “What's up, young guy?”“I'm good, uncle Dwayne.” Herzl uttered airily in response with a positive nod. “You stopped visiting us all of a sudden, why? I missed seeing you around, uncle.”“I have been busy all this while, you know I won't just forget you like that —not my precious big guy, no?” Dwayne told him, ruffling his hair affectionately, and his next question was directed at his sister. “Ciara did you not tel

    The early morning sun peeped from the horizon, after several couples of minutes since dawn, casting its warm yellow hues over the quiet two-storey building in downtown States.Ciara's face was clouded with impatience, knowing she had lots on her table in the office as it was an early Monday morning, but Herzl, who suddenly found pleasure in picking his meals, seemed to be the one holding her back.On most Mondays like this, Ciara was always reviewing proposals or attending to business meetings, it was always a hectic day to start the week with, and she didn't want to go late.“Come on, Herzl…" She drawled, almost whining as she realized she'll be late to work, which she dreaded the most. “Eat up, little guy, else we both will run awfully late —it's Monday morning, running late should be off the plan.”Herzl did not reply to his mother nor shake in response, instead, he pretended not to be the one being referred to. Ciara was left with no choice than to let him finish, since he wouldn'

    Ciara sat in her office, patiently waiting on her Secretary, Sheila's arrival. She checked her time for the umpteenth times, it's only ten minutes left until Sheila's arrival. Ciara had all the day to herself, it's only half an hour before dusk and Gerald had taken Herzl out as usual, It's only until after dusk before they returned. She had promised to come pick him up from school, but it skipped her memory —or maybe she couldn't, due to lots on her desk; she had asked Gerald to make it up to Herzl on her behalf.Instead of staying idle, Ciara decided to keep herself busy with the newspaper one of her staff had left for her earlier that morning. Since the past few months, Ciara had preferred reading the newspaper articles than listening to digital news or checking them up on her mobile.Several minutes had passed and the soft few taps on the door snapped Ciara out of her reading state as she raised her head, fixating her gaze on the door.“Come in…” She lazily answered, her gaze stil

    “Ah —Here it is…" Ciara uttered after her satisfying nod and urged Sheila to take the sheet from her. “...have it.”Sheila collected the worksheet from Ciara as proposed and went through its content cautiously as ever. The beginning of the content wasn't new to Sheila, it was the same as she has expected it after she's been told about the shareholding.Slowly getting indulged in the content she was reading, Sheila's face crumpled down into a deep frown, her brows were knotted with a few visible lines on her forehead —the company's name was enough to force her into having such an expression on her face because she finds it strange. When she heard a company was needing investors and shareholders, as usual, Sheila's thought was that it was one of those few companies that did not have the audience enough to get to the spotlight —not a company like the one contained in what she was reading.'T —the Lerman's Company?’ She asked with in herself as her brows were further creased in obfuscati

Of course, he had many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seemed to be in fuzzy, he managed to force his focus on the wheels —he couldn't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life.

    "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

    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.
