It was past dusk already, the kids raced themselves to the rooftop, laughing excitedly as the gust of the wind hit them in their face.

To the kids, it felt like since forever they last climb the rooftop, and they could not help but smile. The missed everything about climbing the rooftop, mostly the stars and the wind.

The kids help themselves in spreading out their blanket they would be using, and they lay on their back after they were done with it, smiling as they stare at the sky.

They were waiting on Damon's arrival, since he is the one who take it up on himself to always spend most of the nights with them on the rooftop.

“I wonder what a shooting star looks like…" Arielle uttered out amidst the stare, breaking the silence. Though her voice was not that loud, and it seems like she was mumbling these words to herself, but it was audible enough for her siblings' hearing.

“Do any of you ever thought of it too…?” She added to her previous sentence.

    It was already the second day of a new week, Monday, precisely. The clanking sounds from the heels were loud as they attract attention to the heels' owner. Stella stopped before the receptionist, resting her elbow on the receptionist's desk, her intense gaze fixated on her. “I'm here to see, Zahan Damon, the firm owner.” Stella uttered. “Can I see him now?” The receptionist forehead was creased with several lines as she stared weirdly at Stella, she did not bother to conceal her facial expression. “Sorry, but do you have any appointment whatsoever with him?” The receptionist questioned Stella. “Of course, in five minutes from now.” Stella checked her wristwatch before replying. “Can I go in now, or do I have to wait until the exact time? Maybe you need a proof for it?” The receptionist was forced to scoff at Stella's word, but she quickly holds back else she might get in trouble. With just a stare, anyone could guess the lady before her can be very tough. The receptionist drea

She will just act like she got nothing on mind and give Damon the wrong idea.Damon's words hurt her like hell, she never, for once, think anyone would ever hurt her that much. She couldn't pinpoint how it happened or what made her feel hurt that much.Though, he did not say any hurtful words apart from rejecting being in a relationship with her, which seems to be a normal thing for her.

She already came up with a plan, and she felt it's time she executes it, knowing how to deviate her plan.'That should not cost me a lot…' She told herself, convincingly. 'Right…!'Pretending to be checking up on Damon, who had barely step out of his room, she decided to give him a glass of drink as an excuse.Tatania knocked softly on his door. “Hey…?”Contemplating, Damon replied her few seconds of silence. “What did you want?” He demanded with a little trail of coldness in his voice. “You should know I'm busy.”“I know, right?” She replied, sarcasm laced in her voice. “Can I come in?”“Just leave. I have no much time to entertain whatever you are here for.” He enunciated rudely, not wanting to spare her any chance of his. “There is always later and some other time, if only it can wait.”“I won't take much of your time.” She responded, and she sounded like she's never leaving until Damon permit her in. “Try being considerate for once, Damo

Her facial expression was blank with no traces of emotions in it. Anyone could easily guess she got into a heated argument with someone and she lost maybe. “Tatiana….?” Megan was unable to clamp her mouth shut nor ignore her with the kind of facial expression she was wearing on that day.Instead of a reply, Tatania threw her a sharp look, glaring hard and hells at her. This made Megan to conceal whatever she wanted to say to Tatiana inside her, already aware of what might come next if she says another word. “Are you leaving for somewhere, Tatiana?” Jade chipped in, not minding her facial expression. “Yeah…" Tatiana manages to give Jade a reply, unable to snub him like she did to Megan.“When will you be returning?

She realized she was only concerned about the thought of Jason having a father, but never, for once, thought of the questions he might tend to ask and how best to reply. 'What am I supposed to reply to him with?' She asked within herself, but was sure to conceal her fused expression. 'How did I for

It seems like the two humans opposite each other were being forbidden to utter even a single words.Damon's face was bent as his eyes were strongly fixated on the files on his table.

    Rhett continue to stare at Stella wondering how and why she had did it. How could Stella have done some thing so despicable like that.For all these years, he had trust her not knowing she is just a wolf in sheep clothing. Had Stella not told him that Megan was having extra affair outside the relationship and he had foolishly trust her knowing full well that she is Megan's friend and will not lie on her? Stella was feeling uncomfortable with this unusual stare that Rhett is giving her. He had never gave her this kind of look and Stella did not know why he is doing so now.He had left the office quite early this morning after they had a lively conversation. Although, Rhett never told her where he was going even when she asked him severally.But now, ever since he returned, he had not say a word to her rather, he was just staring at her with boiling rage. "Rhett..." Stella called since she could no longer bear the silence and weird attitude Rhett is putting on. "What exactly is the p

    "Hey there, Meg..." Rhett hailed casually with smiles in his face unsure of the right word to use for her. "It's so good to see you after all these years." "Hi, Rhett. Its so good to see you too." Megan reciprocated although without smiles. "Maybe, though." "To be sincere Meg, I really looked for you after the day you chased me like a pest from your house." Rhett told her, rubbing his palm together. "But each time I keep coming, I always find the door locked and I usually don't get the chance of seeing you too. I really looked for you but all my efforts proved futile. It produce no reward or effect but yet, I never gave up on searching for you until the day we meet at that board meeting." Megan leaned her back on the chair as if she's enjoying the conversation which she is not. She know Rhett won't leave if she did not comply with him. Yeah, she have to act in accordance with him for today. "And what would you have done if you have find me then, eh?" Megan questioned in a demandi

    "So what were you saying when we were at the car pack earlier?" Rhett questioned. "Now I can hear you with my full ears." "That question should go to you, Rhett." Stella told him in reply. "That question is not meant for me but you because you are the one asking me about her." "I know so." Rhett nods slowly. "But then you have not given me a positive reply." "Come to think of it Rhett, why would you be asking me of her. Do I look like her keeper to you or am I the one who had invited her to the board meeting." Stella was visibly angry and Rhett know so. "Your answer seems suspicious." Rhett told her. "I just asked you a simple question but you flared up as if what I was asking is a prohibition." "It is indeed prohibited if you did not know." Stella replied almost yelling but was wise enough to control her self. "And have you forgotten the punishment she deserves for hindering your clients from patronizing you any longer. Are you now going to back off all because the firm owner

    Immediately the meeting had come to an end, Stella walked out hurriedly as if was probably heading somewhere or maybe there is someone already waiting outside for her and she need to see the person as soon as possible. She did not bother to wait for Rhett who was still talking to some business partner inside the conference hall. "I need to talk to her as soon as I can before Rhett would notice." She said to herself as she wait endlessly for Megan. Just as she was tempted to check what's keeping Megan in for so long, she saw her walk out of the hall all alone. "It just work on my own favour. She's coming out alone and I like the fact that she is." Stella smile wryly as she appeared at the front of Megan giving her that mischievous grin of hers. "Hey there, Miss Starks..." Stella hailed but yet, Megan is not that daft not to have noticed the sarcasm laced in Stella's word. "Good to see you again, I guess so." Megan did not have the time to exchange words with Stella –it would be

But where have she been all this while and only to return and then built a currently rising firm which has also be the talk of the town too.How could she have possibly done this in just a few time and yet, he never got the clue that she is already in town.

He was tempted to call her but he changed his mind again. "What is even taking her so long to arrive." Rhett wonder. "And she is aware of the board meeting we are attending. But yet she is taking ages to arrive here." After what seems like eternity to Rhett, Stella walked him giving him that lustful smile but Rhett is in no mood to reciprocate. "Hey there, Rhett..." Stella greet walking closer to him to give him a slight hug. "Your face looks gloomy, what's wrong with you?" "Just take a look at the time, Stella." Rhett said ignoring her question. "You are already fifteen minutes late to the time I asked you to arrive." "Chill dear..." Stella smiled at him as she sat on the table next to Rhett. "It was not my fault that I am late.
