"My kids need me." Eleanor got up and walked out straightaway. She boarded a taxi and left.

A confused Jerome was left frozen. He couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Why would she walk out on him?

Was she playing hard to get?

That must be it!

Eleanor went to see lawyer Jesse. It was already late in the evening that she finally dragged her tired self back to the house.

As soon as she opened the door, she overheard Cassie's conversation with the kids.

Since she knew she would be late, she had told Cassie to pick the children.

"Aunt Cassie, does that mean we don't have a father?"

"No my love. Don't say such words.

"Do you want your mother to be worried?"

"No"

"No"

"Then stop saying such. Your father is alive and he will come back to make your family complete okay?"

"Okay Godmother"

Eleanor who stood by the door frame was already close to tears. Cassie had gotten the children to believe her tonight, but what would happen if they ask after their father tomorrow?

' Where are you?' She thought

    A few minutes into the drive, Tasha asked, "Mama, where are we going?""To the Grande Restaurant"The car was shaken by Cassie's loud shriek. The kids looked at her with question marks on their heads. Cassie's joy died down when she noticed that she was the only one in her 'Disney world'."Do you guys have to kill my joy?" she muttered sadly. "The Grande Restaurant is the best....." Cassie explained, her hands spread wide to deliver her point. "They have the best food... Oh, I love their seafood. Also, they have Ice-cream. The best you'd...""Ice cream!..."Tasha screamed happily. "I love ice cream"After a second, both Cassie and Tasha seemed to have realized something. The smiles on their faces instantly melted into sad looks."Too bad..."

    ***In the McKinley Manor..Alexander was restless. He paced up and down the living room. Elaine and Penny who were seated in the room, couldn't help it anymore."Get a grip on yourself, Alexander. I feel dizzy watching you already." Elaine said.Alexander stopped before her. His gaze was scorching."Dizzy?" he asked in a slightly high voice. "You only feel dizzy? I'm about to lose everything I've worked for over the years and you tell me to get a grip on myself?"He was angry and couldn't help it.Earlier, he had received an email from Lawyer Jesse. It was a reminder that he needed to make a decision, fast. Or the matter would be taken to court.Alexander was not dumb to know that what lawyer Jesse said was the truth.

    His disposition seemed normal, but his grip on the ball pen had tightened slightly. But both Eleanor and Lawyer Jesse ignored it."I believe that does it," Alexander said, his eyes moving to lawyer Jesse's face.Lawyer Jesse had been in the legal system for quite a long time. Even though he was way over his fifties, his facial and body structures were still enough to interest any girl. His long, black hair was tied at the back. His brows were thick and full, making him look like Red from the angry birds movie. His lips were thin, and the side was a toothpick that played freely."Except for one more thing..." Lawyer Jesse slid the contract papers to Eleanor. "Miss Red... Pls.""Yes, Mr. Jesse."She picked up the pen and pinned her signature on every place it was needed, making the contract sealed."Done"She looked up at Alexander with a smile on her face. Alexander was aching from loss, but his feelings were least import

    Cassie was curious. She could not understand why Eleanor decided to keep mute and suffer all those years."Well it's no use"Eleanor had always known, ever since she was a little girl, that retaliating or kicking up a fuss was useless. Alexander had made that clear to her in the most understandable way possible.Even so, her father had always said she was like her mother -weak and stupid.Cassie sighed. She snorted hatefully and said, "Your family sucks, boss""I know" Eleanor responded with a chuckle.Recalling something, Eleanor frowned slightly. She dropped her phone. She turned to face Cassie. "Cass, look up a good school for the kids.""Will do... with pleasure" Cassie immediately pulled out her phone. She started to search through the net.Seeing this, Eleanor's lips curled up. One thing she loved about Cassie was that she was always on the job. And she was so perfect in everything she did.Realiz

Amassing the Red Empire was now the most crucial thing to her.Lifting her head to look at Cassie, she blazed a gorgeous and destructive smile. "Call Jonathan. Have him authorize the contract."Cassie was perplexed for an instant. She gazed at Eleanor. After a while, "How does that concern us, boss?"She was lost.

Her eyes stung fiercely as hot tears were preparing to flow. "What happened to her?""A-Alexander... He, he.." Auntie Florence was stuttering. It was obvious she was scared."What did he do!?" Eleanor's angry voice thundered inside the room, making Auntie Florence flinch. Her chest heaved heavily. Even her eyes held something else in them. They were not normal life-filled eyes."He came to her af-after the contract signing. She was out for a stroll, so he left. Today, he came back and threatened her. He said he would kill you both If she does not order you to return to ZerAnderson Group to him. Madam stubbornly refused. She told him, she'd rather burn the company than give it to him.

If one saw her like this, they would think she was doing fine.But, far from it. She was struggling to swim against the raging currents of the ocean of sadness... to not sink.The way the tides were against her, Eleanor wished she could give up.

    Eleanor's eyes widened at Damien's suggestion. Disbelief flickered across her face. "Remarried? No, that can't be. Mirabella never mentioned anything about remarrying, and we have no reason to think so."Damien leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms in contemplation. "Well, it's unusual for someone to go by different names within the same family. Could there be something we're missing?"Eleanor shook her head. "Sienna is in her twenties, while Eliora would be the same age as myself since she is my twin."Damien agreed. "Does that mean Sienna is a relative of yours, then?" he inquired thoughtfully.Eleanor shrugged. "That's the only logical explanation for the moment," she rasped out. "Besides, judging by the story Mirabella told us, the man must have loved my mother too much to remarry," she added with a sigh."Or, she is adopted," Eddy, who had been quiet, suddenly chimed in, causing the duo to turn to him."What do you mean?" asked Eleanor, confusedly.Eddy crossed his arms ove

    Eddy, still trembling, pulled out the letter and extended it toward Antonio, who took it with a cursory gaze directed at Eddy."Yes, Mr. Huxton," Eddy stammered. "I have a letter for you. It's important, and I was instructed to deliver it personally."Antonio's gaze traveled between the letter and Eddy. Something about Eddy did not sit right with him. Antonio thought that he had met Eddy before but he could not remember where."Who sent you?" He asked, slowly tearing open the letter."Z-zara Anderson-Red, sir," Eddy answered.Antonio's head whipped up to Eddy's face quickly. There was shock clearly etched on it as his eyes widened."The Andersons?" He muttered disbelievingly and Eddy nodded. Antonio quickly pointed to the couch. "Please, sit."Eddy nodded and sat, although he still did not feel comfortable.To Sienna, Antonio said, "Go, get our guest something to drink! Hurry!"Sienna stood up and left. As she made her way to the kitchen, she kept trying to remember where she had hear

For a moment, Eddy lost himself in the magnificence way her hips swayed as she walked towards him.Her black hair danced with the wind, making her look like a celebrity. Her eyes were clear and focused on him. Eddy was so lost in her beauty that he did not see her stop in front of him."Hey, mister! Here!" She snapped her fingers before Eddy, jolting him to reality.

    "How do we get in?" Damien asked.Eleanor had suggested that they try to get into the Huxton's site, but they needed to find a way in. How to bypass the security at the gate without drawing attention to themselves."Well," Eleanor said, chewing her pen cover under the watchful gazes of Damien and Eddy. "How about we use Eddy?""As a scapegoat?" Eddy asked, with wide eyes. "No, thank you! My boss would not eve-""I agree," Damien nodded, surprising Eddy who shook his head slowly."I knew it!"

It was large, about the same size of her bedroom back home.As she was about to sit and dig into the breakfast in the tray, a knock interrupted her."Door's open," She called, watching to see who would come in.Damien walked in. He had already bathed and was dressed in a pair of blue sweatpants, and yet, another thousand dollars Nike shoes."Did not think you would be up already," He said, pointing at her. "And I see you are already dressed up."Eleanor nodded."Hmmm. Good morning," She greeted and turned to her tray of food. "Care to join me for breakfast?" She asked, glancing at him before adding, "it's the least I could do to thank you for bringing me to such a comfortable room."Damien nodded."Enjo

He was tempted to tell her 'no', but as he looked into her eyes, he could see clearly, the unwavering determination that mirrored his own.Toni turned to Eleanor, her eyes widening in surprise."Can you do it?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of skepticism and hope.Eleanor nodded, a small smile playing on her lips."Yes, I'm a hacker too," she revealed, her tone filled with a quiet confidence. "I can break through that firewall, gather the information we need, and I'll also make sure to log out before the system can trace me."Toni's doubt did not fade away, but she let Eleanor take the seat, then she stood behind her."Let's see what we got here..." Eleanor drawled as she began tapping quickly on the keyboard.

Her mind was filled with thoughts as she observed the people around her. While many smiled and exchanged greetings, she could see glimpses of hidden struggles and doubts behind those cheerful facades. It saddened her to realize that there was often more beneath the surface than met the eye."We can finally move out of the hotel," Damien noted, pulling Eleanor's attention back to him as the driver kept driving. His voice was filled with a sense of relief. Curiosity sparked in Eleanor's eyes as she could not help but wonder.

When he saw her, he put his phone away and like a gentleman, reached for the suitcase in her hand.Eleanor hesitated and said, "You do not have to come along if you do not want to, you know."Damien hissed and pulled the suitcase out of her grip gently. "Firstly, I'm going on this trip because I want to. Secondly, I'm going because I have a meeting in Spain. And thirdly," He paused and flashed her a wink.
