"Your grandmother and I grew up together in a small town in the outskirt of Emerald City. This place is far from what it was before. Maggie and I, our relationship was very close like childhood sweethearts the folks back then thought that in time we will end up marrying each other. " "Their house were just across the street from ours. Ourr parents knew each other but then all of the folks back then knew each other. Some of our playmates and friends end up marrying each other.

Raine asked curiously.The flashback; Peter excitedly hailed a taxi after he step out of the Arrivals area of the local airport. He gave the direction of his destination to the driver.

Peter Collins continued."You look for her?" She asked, anticipating the reply."No, we met accidentally, I had regrets on what happened to her, she married a gambler. But Maggie is a strong, independent resilient and compassionate woman. She never blame me or regretted her decision in marrying your grandfather." "Yes, that was grandma." There was pride in her voice."When we met she was as cheerful as before but I asked

Giah and Raine have hacked Amira and Zee's bank account to claim back the money they transferred to their individual account from the income of the Adams family business."What can I do to help?" She offered."While, I am reinforcing the defense, you try to break- In and find out where the attack just coming." Giah advised. Two years together Giah taught Raine her line of expertise. Together they work to take down some of Giah's opponents. Together they form a formidable duo."Do you want me to attack?" "No, just create a diversion. I'm think that they don't mean any harm to us just wanting to get
"Are you saying that Kira is sick?" Mateo appalled asked his assistant."As I observed Boss her behaviour lately is out of the ordinary." His assistant said."What do you mean?""She breaks down or get hysterical once she is triggered." His assistant explained. Mateo became silent, he begins to contemplates on this new discovery.

She said wondering if he can hear the pounding of her heart. "Why use the other lift? when you can stay here we're on the same destination. It is cost effective." He said smiling."I..."

She tried to calm her raging heart and butterflies in her tummy. She observed him through the steel wall of the lift. He hasn't change a bit, he is still the same
