Agnes entered the suite only to find Lisa, Liam, and Tacha still bent over a book.

"What is going on here?" Agnes asked, wondering why their class work would extend this late into the night.

"Ahhh, thank God!" Tacha exclaimed as she raised her head to see Agnes.

"Are you guys still going through class work at this time? The sun is already set; are you preparing them for the SAT or something?" Agnes asked as she walked towards them.

Lisa and Liam had a guilty look on their faces as they stared up at Agnes through their small eyes.

"Now why do you two look so forlorn?" Agnes asked.

"I believe now I can go," Tacha said, raising her brows at the twins.

They nodded their heads up and down, like two teddy bears on remote control. Agnes laughed at the sight and asked, "Tacha, what is going on?"

"After class work, they said I should play a game with them," Tacha explained.

"Okay, what game would take so long?" Agnes asked.

"Well, the issue was that we had to play until I win or someone stops

Laura asked with a smile as she walked up to them."Me, no, of course not; I was only listening to something they had to tell me," Agnes replied with an innocent smile.The twins grinned at Laura as they jumped up to hug her."Yes, I know you miss me. How was class today?" Laura asked as she kissed them on the head."It was awesome, mummy," Liam replied."Yeah, I can tell from the way you guys lost track of time," Laura replied, adding, "I saw Tacha outside a while ago, and I wondered what you guys must have done to lose track of time.""Hmm, I wonder too," Agnes agreed."Aunty Agnes!" the twins shouted."What? I didn't say anything; I only said that I wondered too," Agnes replied with a grin.Laura stared at them, her brows raised as she said, "I sense a lot of suspicious actions from you all.""Will you tell her, or sho

    "Lily? What are you doing here?" Laura asked in surprise as she stepped out of her suite."You're the third person asking me that question," Lily said with a smile."Laura?" Agnes called from behind Laura."Oh, humm, sorry," Laura said, stepping aside for Agnes to step out into the corridor."Humm, Aunt Agnes, meet my boss, Lily White, and Jason North, the owner of this hotel, and also Tina, Lily's PA," Laura introduced."Hello, it's nice to meet you two. I'm Agnes Emerson," Agnes said."Good evening, ma'am; it's nice to meet you too," Jason replied."It's nice to meet you too; you're the first family member Laura has introduced to me since she moved back," Lily replied with a warm smile."Oh, uhm, she can be that way," Agnes stated."I thought as much," Lily replied.They both chuckled at their own words, and Laura said, "Are you guys really enjoying a joke at my expense?""Of course, who else?"

    As soon as Laura's hands went around his back, Jason stiffened; he had not, in his wildest imagination, thought that Laura would hug him of her own free will."Everything is going to be alright," Laura murmured.After a few seconds, he wrapped his hands around her and drew her closer. He buried his nose in her hair. She smelled so good, it seemed to calm him more.She stayed there for about three minutes before pulling away. Reluctantly, Jason stepped back too as she looked up at him with an encouraging smile and said, "Have a good night, Jason. I guess our meeting for tomorrow would have to wait.""Why do you say that?" Jason asked."I don't know; I just feel you have a great deal to handle tomorrow," Laura replied."Humm, should I ask if you're psychic?" Jason asked, confused.Laura smiled. "No, I'm not; let's just see each other after work tomorrow," she replied."Okay, thank you, Laura," Jason said.He didn't know hugging someone could mean so much. He had not known he needed it,

    At White's consulting, Laura was going over the report David had sent to her one last time. He had called to say that he was coming in to see her concerning the projects. Lily was most likely coming in later in the day, so Laura knew she could spare some time to attend to him."Audrey, did David give a time he was going to get here?" Laura asked."Not really; he only mentioned that he would be here this morning," Audrey replied."Okay, let's move over to the conference room opposite my office. Set up the documents over there; I'd like to have this meeting with a projector." Laura stated."Okay, right away, I'll set up all you need," Audrey responded."Thank you. Could you also get another copy of the documents, just in case he does not have one with him?" Laura asked."Yes, of course, I'll have it printed right away." Audrey stated."Okya, thank you," Laura replied as she flipped through the document one last time.She had a lot of notes to refer to. The projects were really big, and

Natasha called as she looked around to see everyone in the family in the room."Yes, mom, good morning; please come; have your seat," Jason said, stepping around Shawn to show his mom where to sit."Is this some sort of family meeting? Why is your mom here?" Terry North asked."All that's happening right now must be a joke, right?" Shawn asked as he laughed."I'm afraid it's not; let's all have our seats, and we can get right to it," Jason told them all as they had their seats.Reluctantly, they all had their seats, and their attention turned to Jason as they waited for him to speak."Okay, so, first of all, thank you all for coming here."

Uhm, not really; most of the international clients who come to town usually stay at the North Hotel, but I hear the Gem Hotel is taking a huge chunk of them now."

    As soon as the reservation was made, Jared was notified of the booking. He had been thinking about the reason why Laura would ask him about that night. He hoped she didn't find out about what had really happened."Did you just say the suite is under Laura Philip's name?" Jared asked."Yes, it is, and it's been booked for five days," Jared's secretary informed him.Jared had made it a point of duty to know whoever booked the expensive suites in the Gem Hotel. "Okay, thank you. Inform the hotel that I would like to know when she checks in," Jared instructed."Okay, I'll do that," the secretary replied and stepped out of the office."Why is she leaving the North Hotel? Why would she be staying for just five days?" Jared muttered as he pondered the fact.At that moment, his phone rang, and the caller ID displayed was David."Hello David," Jared said as he picked up the call."Hi, Jared, good day to you," David said on the other end."So, what do you have for me?"

    Shawn and Tobias looked back instantly, and the shock on their faces was so appealing that it brought a smile to Lily's face. "Laura? What are you doing here?" Tobias asked, looking shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Laura said as she walked over and sat in front of them. Before they could answer, they heard a knock at the door, and Laura said, "Oh, that must be him." "Aunt, I thought you said she left," Tobias said, looking at Lily. Lily remained silent and only responded with a shrug. Laura opened the door, and Jason walked into the office, a sight that only made Tobias more scared and Shawn visibly angry. "You were saying something about my family," Laura said, addressing Shawn. "What is going on here? Why does this feel like a trap? Are you suspecting us of something?" Shawn asked, standing up suddenly. "Nobody is suspecting you of anything; we are just asking you about your last statement," Lily said, breaking her silence. "You know what? I'm leaving. I only

    As soon as they were alone, Jason turned back to Laura and said, "Let's hear it."Laura shook her head and replied, "Jason, up until this morning, I didn't have the information I have now. I was actually trying my best not to be angry at you.""Why would you be angry at me? If for anything, I should be the one pissed, because you were not picking up my calls and you left without any notice from the event that day.""I know, but if you hear me out, then maybe you will understand my reasons," Laura said, holding up her hand."Okay, you have the floor," Jason said as he took his seat a few feet away from her."I came back to town to find my mother and to find out what happened to me seven years ago," Laura said.Jason was silent as he watched her speak, his expression neutral. Laura brushed her hair behind her neck and continued to explain her mother's relationship to Lily."Suffix it to say that I found my grandmother, but I was not able to find out what happened that one night that I c

    Grace walked into Jared's office, demanding to have an audience with him."I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in now; he is not on sit," the receptionist said apologetically."I know he is in there; tell him that if he does not see me now, he won't like the next news he hears," Grace responded.Having no choice, the receptionist put a call through to Jared's office again and relayed the message.After a few minutes, she dropped the phone and said, "You can go in, ma'am.""I thought as much," Grace replied, and she walked straight to the elevator.It had been radio silence since her last confrontation with Jared, but now she was going to rain down all the anger she felt within on him."I told you not to come here, Grace," Jared said as soon as Grace walked into his office."I don't give a damn what you say any longer, Jared," Grace replied with scorn."What exactly do you want, Grace?"

    Lily was surprised to hear that, so she gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What else is there that I haven't said?"Laura shook her head and replied, "No, not you; it's from me.""Oh, what is it?" Lily asked.Laura pulled her hand from Lily's grip and brushed it through her hair as she sighed deeply."Actually, I came back to town because of two things. The first was because of the note you sent to me about my mother, and the second was because I wanted to find out what happened to me about seven years ago." Laura explained.Lily's face squeezed in confusion as she asked, "Something happened to you? What might it be?""Well, I don't know either; all I know is that I got pregnant after, and that was what resulted in my father sending me away from town," Laura replied."What?" Lily exclaimed in shock."Yes, you see, I was betrothed to Jared Tuner, but my stepsister set me up that night," Laura said, explaining what Grace had told her about the same night.There was more confusion on L

Jason said this on the phone.Tim realized he was talking to Laura's son and shrugged, hoping he got the answer he was looking for."No, that's fine. How is Lisa?" Jason asked.Just like magic, the hard look on Jason's face cleared as he spoke with the children. After a few minutes, the call ended."So?" Tim asked."They are leaving in two days," Jason said."What two days?" Tim replied, surprised."Yes," Jason replied, his voice sounding dejected."Oh, oh," Tim muttered."What did Gift say?" Jason asked."Nothing, just like I told you she would," Tim replied, adding, "Don't the kids know where the house is?""They don't; I think Liam called me from the card I gave him sometimes back," Jason replied."Hmm, well, I think you have tried all that you can," Tim said encouragingly.I am really going to lose Laura, Jason thought as he sat there, staring into space.*************

You mean the same Gift Hatcher?" Tim asked."Yes, I need to ask her about Laura. She mentioned some time ago that they had been childhood friends," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, knowing that was not going to be a good idea, considering the outcome of the last meeting Gift had with Jason."I can basically feel you shaking your head from here," Jason muttered."Uhm, I just don't think Gift would be a good idea; I mean, after the last time, she would not be so keen to see you."

He had tossed and turned through the night.The night before, he had been stunned by Tim's statement, and for a moment, his heart had frozen."What did you just say?" He had asked."Humm, I just heard from Emily, who heard from Laura's live-in nanny that Laura is leaving town," Tim had replied carefully.Jason had sat at the back of the car, stunned by the news. He had imagined a lot of outcomes from her sudden departure from the hotel, but he had not imagined that she would leave town."When did you get this information?" Jason had asked."Uhm, just before you stepped out of your office," Tim had also replied catiously."Why isn't she telling me about leaving town? Why is she suddenly avoiding me?" Jason asked himself, feeling a sinking feeling in his belly.Now, at the dawn of a new day, Jason climbed out of bed, looking dazed as he murmured, "I never thought I would feel this way."He walked over to the balcony and stare
