“NO, NO, NO.”

Cedric almost stumbles down a few times and loses his balance upon noticing that the doorknob of his father’s office is being twisted. Quickly, he dashes towards the couch and took a book pretending that he is reading.

“Cedric?”

The Governor is taken by surprise upon seeing his son inside his private office. Untruthful from what he just learned and argue about with someone. He raises his voice and scolded his son.

“What are you doing here, Cedric!”

He snatches the book away and slams it onto the table, startling Cedric who looks at him with a scared expression. Which is an advantage for the young boy after stealing some documents and almost getting caught.

“I’m sorry dad, I was just reading a book like usual.”

He lied, but his usual reasoning everything the Governor finds him inside his office. A fact and a thing and two that he allowed his son of doing. With his mindset that as early as possible, Cedric should know how to run their family business and might as well s

    “STOP IT!”Francis screams, stopping his wife from making a further scene and smashing everything that she sees from their living room in a not-so-typical way. But in a composed and educated manner. Holding her head up without breaking her pretty face in front of him. “Stop! Why the hell would I stop!”His wife answers back at him. Not crying nor shedding a tear or two, yet is raging with anger toward him. Then she slaps him on the face hard, all along with her grace and posture that is screaming her sophistication and unlike any other wife who is being cheated on by their husband. “What is your problem!”“My problem?”Their sudden fight seems like a one-sided thing, which their housemaids and servants are staying away from. Though it is a surprise and a shock for them, knowing that the two had never had such a huge fight like this, nor the madam of the house ever acted this way. “What is the meaning of all of this Charles?”Her educative question, holding and still of her composur

    “DO not worry mom, everything will be alright.”Cedric’s words of concern and worry for his mother. His mom that is staying strong and stopping herself to shed even a tear and two in front of him.“Of course, son, everything will be alright from now on.”The Madam’s words that Cedric doesn’t need to be a genius to know that his mom is just pretending. Lying about what she really feels and the pain that she is baring deep inside.“Mom, you know that you can cry now. Besides, it is only the two of us.”Cedric’s words that surprises his mom, but immediately realize that her son is not a little kid like she thinks of him, and might as well knew what really happening and the situation that she is in right now.“What do you mean son?”She pretends, still trying to held everything in. Straying strong and touch for the both of them that Cedric understand, yet he couldn’t help but be worried about his mother. Which he wanted to cry rather than keep it all in.“My friend says that if you will n

    “LIST OF NAMES?”Sam questioned while looking at the piece of paper that Cedric handed to Monique and that the boy wanted them to have.“No,” Cath’s initial reaction, while reading the list of names that somehow is ringing something that she just can’t point out yet. “These are not just a list of random names. Francis made sure that no one will find it and kept it in a safe place along with those documents that his son took for us.”“Then what do you think is this?”They look at each other with the same thought in mind. “Black market, illegal stuff, clients, and might be his shady business behind his façade as a Governor.”Cath nods, agreeing and two with what Sam had said. “Knowing Francis, it is not that unlikely that the list of names that are written here are his clients and even partners for his illegal activities.”She explains the possibility even further. Thinking of the same and knowing Francis and his ways, including how he thinks and does things even way before.“Now that

    "ARE THESE THE LIST OF NAMES THAT MIGHT INVOLVE TO FRANCIS ILLEGAL BUSSINESS?”Lindsey asks, all after rushing to the group’s HQ and meeting Cath, and Jun inside.“It is.”Cath confirms and didn’t think now of opening up to Lindsey about her thoughts of asking her best friend to backout. Knowing that the same thing will only repeat, and might be worst with Lindsey’s stubbornness that is even greater than Sam.“I see.”She then took the paper and reads the name, but before she could finish, Jun interrupted her.“By the way Lindsey, what it is that is so important that you wanted to tell us right now.”“That’s right.”She immediately out the paper down and handed them the additional documents that she got with regards to Aaron and the company that is taking Sam’s company head on.“I’ve got some additional information with regards CEO Wayright. I also find something that is shabby about him. And I think that he might be doing something illegal that involves Francis in some way. Consideri

    “SIR, there is someone who wanted to meet you today.”Aaron’s work and thinking are interrupted upon the sudden knock and immediate approval that he needed to confirm in an instant.“Who?”He asks without looking at his employee and all along is focus on his work that is right in front of him.“Its Miss Lindsey Lawrence, Sir.”His whole attention is then stolen. Now looking at his employee with the eyes that’s screaming if he did hear the name correctly.“Tsk!” He smirks, wondering the reason why the lady who deems him as her world’s greatest enemy is now wanted an audience from him.Yet.“For what business reason?”He assumes, no, he just masked the fact that Lindsey wanted something else rather than talking about any business that in the lady’s vocabulary is none. Most especially when it comes with him.“A business proposal, Sir.”“Business proposal?”Aaron wonders about the point and the real reason of Lindsey’s sudden approach. A thing and two that she will never do, nor even thin

    “IF YOU CARE ABOUT CATH, YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING AFTER THIS TALK OF OURS OF WHAT YOUR DEAR ACCOMPLISH IS PLANNING.”“Tsk! Interesting, she is interesting indeed.”Aaron thought, that now finds Lindsey interesting in both ways which are good and bad. But what captures his attention more than the warnings and provoking that Lindsey made are the words that she just said to him. Her thoughts that is uncanny for her to have the other meaning. “Accomplish?”He thought to himself, knowing that Lindsey is not the type of person that just tell some random stuff. Especially not in a way that is suggesting that she knew more than what he expected that he already knew. He then called his secretary and ordered.“Call Ash to my office now.”Now thinking and deep about those words. One thing and another is telling him that Lindsey just not knew his past, but more than it.“I shouldn’t have underestimated her that much.”His realization slowly stitched the things and words that Lindsey said and d

    “THAT TATTOO.” Lindsey whispers to herself upon noticing the spider tattoo of the man who just enters that VIP area of the raising popularity new Asian Restaurant in the State. “Welcome to the restaurant. I will be your attendee for today.”One of the employees greeted her with a warm smile and elegance that is known to the place. Surprises her for the welcome and hospitality that sure enough lives to the restaurant’s popularity. “Table for how many guess ma’am?”“Right?”She immediately thought of something. A bit used, no, definitely dropping her connections and the name that everyone knew very well and about. “We didn’t get any reservations for the time, but it is for the small family gathering of seven.” She lied, persuading with words that the employee didn’t find anything suspicious and rather delightedly offers. “Of course, ma’am, we have a table for seven. This way please.”With her card and the fact that no one in the State didn’t know the name. Lindsey confidently smile

    “Sir Ash!”The door slams open, all to everyone’s astonishment and Ash's disappointment. “Do you know where we are and what exactly are you doing?”One of the men screams at the other, and the waiters and waitresses of the restaurant quickly went back to their work. Shoving what they just saw and pretending that they didn’t hear even a single thing. “I apologize sir, but this is---”Ash quickly stops his words, and with a sign of his hand, his expression is alarmed. Looking at the restaurant employees, the man rushes immediately to his side. While on the other hand, Lindsey is having more than a hunch of what is going on. “That’s enough, leave us alone.”He asks, which the employees of the restaurant immediately obeyed. Knew that something is off, yet they are well informed and trained not to mingle into anything that does not relate to their job. “Tsk!”Lindsey gritted her teeth in dismay, but. “Sir, if you may I could---”She tries to buy her way for a bit, wanted to look at t

Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend.

Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life.

Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest. Being an obedient child, Lindsey could feel the fear of her nephew with Cole’s shaking body and cold hands. “Stop, or find yourself swimming in your blood.”More than a familiar voice and the only person right now that Lindsey could think of who. She slowly looks back and is not surprised to see the Governor, no, Francis, pointing a gun right in front of her and with a cursing look on his face. “Just how low could you go for doing this to our family? Are you desperate to establish your dominance over us that you are going this far for your selfish desire?”“Low? Who, me? Tsk! Do not make me laugh Miss.
