As he walked into the house holding Jeffrey's shoulders for support, his mother and sister jumped to their feet, worry written all over their faces.

“Oh my goodness! What happened to you?! You look terrible!”

He limped to a seat and fell into the sofa while Jeffrey rushed to get a pillow for him to place his bandaged foot.

“I am alright, Mom.”

He desperately needed to be left alone.

“No he is not okay. He nearly drove himself to his death today.” said Cameron who was just walking into the living room.

Zander gave him an angry glare but Cameron ignored him.

It was Cameron that came with Jeffrey to pick him up from the accident scene.

He made him promise not to let his mother and sister know which hospital he was taken to after the accident.

Cameron had kept that promise. But he forgot to get him to swear to keep his mouth shut.

“You are exaggerating. I only crashed into the nearby bushes. I escaped with minor injuries” Zander explained sighing deeply.

“Minor injuries? Come on! You

    “I love you” Cassie blinked. There was no way he was being serious. She was stunned into silence.“What?” Her words came in a whisper, trapped by the lump in her throat.“You heard me, Cassie. I care so much because I love you. I have loved you from the moment I set my eyes on you and I have stayed by your side, hoping that you would just turn around and see me. I love you”She swallowed hard. She needed a minute to process this information. If the circumstances were different, she would have laughed in his face at a poorly constructed joke but by the look on his face, she knew that he was saying the truth.She heard him loud and clear.“Jeffrey…I don't know what to say. Why me? What can I possibly offer you?”He was the most honorable person she had ever met. He said so little but his words always meant a lot. How could a man so gentle give away his heart to her?She didn't even know what she wanted out of life yet!She stood slowly from the bed, staring at him.“Why me? How did thi

    This was not the conversation she anticipated between Zander and herself. She had waited patiently for him to show up in the hospital day after day and when he finally does, he seems like a completely different person.“I don't think you know this woman well enough to be falling in love with her” He was clearly mocking Jeffrey now. More than anything, it was the hurt and bitterness in his voice that broke her heart.The accusations leveled against her were a lot but she had to start from somewhere.“You need to believe me. I did not try to terminate my pregnancy.” She began Zander raised his hand to cut her off“Enough of the lies! I am not done yet. Can you tell us who this man is to you?”He pointed at the unnamed young man who stood watching the scene unfold with a bold smile.Where has she seen him before?“What do you mean? I don't know who he is” Cassie replied.She really hoped that he wasn't trying to accuse her of what she was thinking.Her eyes darted to Zoe and Bella in p

    “What is your plan? We need to act fast or we could have a full blown crisis”Is he kidding? This is already a full blown crisis as it is. Can it get worse than this?“I cannot think straight right now. I need all the suggestions I can get”He was relying on his brother for emotional support. He felt embarrassed but that was his only option asides from falling completely apart.“First of all, we need to get our story straight and you need to make a press statement addressing all these as soon as possible” That was a good idea. He could use the press statement to buy some time and earn the trust of his remaining investors if he said the right words, made the right promises.“Do you still think pressing charges against Miss Cassie is a good idea? It could raise unnecessary dust and fuel the rumors”Zander looked up at his brother in shock. “You are the last person I expected to make a plea on her behalf. You hate her” he said, narrowing his eyes.Cameron shrugged nonchalantly“Hate is

    She wobbled behind the prison guard, weary from starvation but curious to see who had ordered for her release.She wasn't sure who she was expecting to see at the other side of those doors but it was certainly not Cameron Scott. Great.Another tormentor was here to gloat.His brows went up in surprise as his eyes quickly took in her general appearance.The satisfaction she was expecting to see in his eyes was surprisingly missing.“What the hell? What happened to her in there?”The prison guard shrank back in fear and muttered some words neither of them could hear. Cassie stood, watching them in confusion. What does he want now? Had she not suffered enough? Did he want her head on a plate now?“The way you have been treated is completely unacceptable. I am quite sure that nobody on our legal team gave such an order” Cameron explained while still glaring at the prison guard.Did she hear him correctly? If her memory serves her right, Cameron hated her. Why was he acting all nice?“Wh

    Cassie slowly got out of the car. It felt like her first day at the Scott family mansion all over again. Only that this time, she was broken, tired and hiding away from the rest of the world.“Come with me. I will show you to your room”He was being too nice and friendly and it felt really awkward. He had told her that Zander wasn't aware of this. “Can I call my sister?” She had to make sure that she wasn't being kidnapped or something.Maya would be so worried.He gently opened the door to her new room and allowed her to walk in ahead of him.“Yes, you can call anyone you like. I will ask my secretary to get you anything you need, starting with a new phone”“Thank you”“I will leave you to freshen up and have some rest. There are clothes and everything you might need in the closet. Take whatever you want”A woman who she figured was his housekeeper, walked in carrying a tray filled up with food and fruits. Her stomach growled in response and she suddenly remembered that she had no

    “WAR BREWING FOR THE SCOTT BROTHERS?”“I never thought that a day would come when the Scott group of companies will be on our radar for some juicy family scandal!” Zander spun around in his seat and turned up the television volume. He sipped on his glass of whiskey. It was probably his third glass this morning, or fourth?. He wasn't sure.“My goodness! Me too! I hear that the last time the Scott family has been on the news for something so controversial was when the late billionaire Alexander Scott was divorced by his first wife and quickly remarried in 3 months!” This drew a murmur from other presenters and they recalled different times the Scott family had been in the news.This news channel was quickly becoming a thorn in his flesh, he mused. Jeffrey would have known what to do about this nuisance.“The new gist I hear is that a new Will has surfaced which places Cameron Scott above his elder brother in the hierarchy.”“What? That's crazy.” The other female presenter cut in, shoc

    “Nice of you to join us, big brother” Cameron's sarcastic greeting welcomed him to the boardroom. He ignored the words laced with mockery and took his seat at the head of the table.Taking a quick glance around the table, he wished desperately that he could turn back the hands of time.He would have gotten rid of that stupid document without thinking twice.“We seem to be calling a lot of emergency meetings these days. I would prefer that we were working hard and getting results than sitting around”As he spoke, he met the eyes of the board members, one by one.Cowards!They wouldn't even maintain eye contact.Zander reclined in his seat.“So, what is this about?” “I called for this meeting. As you said, we have been lazing about for too long. I think it is time to take drastic actions” Cameron began.That was not exactly what he meant. Zander adjusted in his seat, wondering why his tie had become too tight all of a sudden.“I received an email and a visit from the CEO of Kings gro

    The sound of gunshots echoed in her dreams, forcing her eyes wide open. Clutching her stomach protectively, she tried to sit up but a sharp pain stabbed through her shoulders, forcing her backwards.Strong hands pushed back on her hands and she opened her eyes to see Zander staring into her face, his eyes filled with concern.With his rumpled shirt, ruffled hair and the dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he had not slept in days.“Where am I?” Cassie asked. Her hoarse voice sounded so strange in her ears.But one thing weighed heavily on her mind as the memories of the shooting flashed back to her mind.She clutched her stomach. It felt round and soft underneath the soft fabric of her hospital gown. She felt no pain on her belly.“My baby?.....” As the words left her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she had never told Zander. Her eyes flew to his eyes which remained fixed on her face. Did he watch the video? Did he know about the baby now?Zander nodded and as their eyes

    The creaking sound of the light bulb dangling in the center of the empty room was the first thing Cassie heard when she woke up.Squinting to see clearly in the dimly lit room, she glanced to the side and sighed in relief to see Maya sprawled on the floor, deep asleep.She wasn't sure how long they'd been sleeping but everywhere was silent. A bodyguard sat by the door, wide awake and scrolling through his phone.Someone had loosened the ropes around her arms. The door suddenly burst open and Cameron stormed in with Frank following closely behind.Cassie sat up in the chair, her eyes and ears on full alert.What happened? Why was Cameron looking so angry?“I told you he would try something crazy, didn't I? My face is all over the news!” He yelled, banging his fist on the concrete wall.Her legs shook beneath her. The news? Frank suddenly turned to glare at her as if he had just remembered that she was in the room.“Your boyfriend seems to enjoy pissing me off huh?”She stared at him.

    The tension in the room was palpable as Frank and Cameron exchanged glances behind the scene.After a long pause, Frank turned back to the screen, an evil smile hovering on his face.“You have 30 minutes. If I call back in thirty minutes and you haven't granted my requests, then you will not see your woman ever again”The threat was loud and clear. The billionaire heir to one of the largest business empires in the country was being asked to choose between his inheritance and some random woman.Cassie blinked hard to keep the tears from rolling down her cheeks. She knew he couldn't see her from the video chat. They were keeping her as a last resort.She whimpered softly, watching the dread cloud his face as he nodded before the screen went blank.They were asking him to choose between her and his company? Frank gestured to one of his men who moved over to turn the camera towards her.“Now, you're going to read that letter to the camera for your little boyfriend” Frank ordered.She lif

    She blinked again to be sure. “What…..what is this? Why?.....” She wasn't even sure which question to ask. He stopped a few feet from her and stood with his hands in his pockets, staring at her.She met his gaze and shivered at the icy look in his eyes. It almost felt like she didn't really know him anymore.The silence in the room was deafening. But not as loud as the pain of betrayal slicing through her ribs, squeezing the air from her lungs and leaving a trail of bitterness in her throat.Her eyes followed him as he lowered to a squatting position.“I am sorry, Cassie but I had no other choice….”She narrowed her eyes at him. What on earth did he mean by that?“What connects you to this….this man?” She blurted out, struggling to keep the tears from spilling over.“Why are you helping him?” She asked, throwing a quick glance in Frank's direction.Cameron sighed.“I just want to claim what is mine and Zander is standing in my way. He took you from me…..he has taken everything away

    (TWO DAYS LATER)“Do you think we are making a mistake?” Zander asked, glancing at the document in his hand.He watched silently as Stone typed rapidly on his computer, barely listening to the conversation.“I am sorry but I don't think Miss Cassie has the patience to wait.” Stone replied.Zander nodded and glanced again at the file in his hand. It has been barely 48hrs and even though Cassie appeared to be calm and following their instructions, he had just received an update from Jeffrey.“She has just sold her jewelry collection worth over 5 million dollars to a collector and was seen making trips to the bank in secret just this morning." Stone added.He had to agree. It was a suspicious move. She didn't trust him enough to wait and decided to take matters into her own hands.“You think she will pay the money?” He muttered.He already knew the answer. There was no sacrifice too big for Cassie to make for her sister.Could he blame her though? Would be have done anything different?

    “He called again?” Zander asked, the disappointment clearly written all over his face.Cassie nodded, lowering her eyes. He ran a hand through his hair, barely concealing his frustration.“I am not surprised. I expected another call and that is why I left some of my men behind to keep an eyes on things….” Stone murmured.As he said the last part, he turned slowly to glare at the officers who quickly lowered their heads in shame.“Why did I leave you behind if you had to miss such an important update?” He scolded them.Cassie sighed. “It isn't their fault. They didn't know that I had a phone with me in the room and no one could have known when I woke up and took the call….”They had only found out that she was awake a few minutes ago, when the detective and Zander had returned. She caught an officer trying to stifle a yawn.They must have been awake all night.“What did he want? Did he make any demands?” Zander asked, breaking the awkward silence.Cassie’s head snapped up and her conv

    Zander watched the gentle rise and fall of her chest in her sleep. It had taken a solid hour but eventually, the crying and sobbing finally pushed her to sleep. Stone hovered by the door, waiting to speak to him.He glanced at him and sighed deeply.If only he could just stay by her side while handling things. He desperately wished he could just watch her sleep and everything would be fine by morning.Another signal from Stone finally forced him to move away. He slid his hands from underneath her and let her body fall gently into the soft sheets, then covered her up and strolled to the door.“I don't think....." Stone began but Zander hushed him with a wave.“Shhhh...... she's finally sleeping." he whispered.He shut the door with a soft click behind them and pushed Stone ahead, far away from the door.“Alright. Go on..."“Well......we cannot do much right now...." Stone continued, his ice blue eyes barely hiding his frustration.Zander frowned. That wasn't what he was expecting to h

    Cassie stood like a statue in her living room, barely listening to the bustling of officers moving from one point to another.Detective Stone stood like a general in command gesturing in different directions as they set up all kinds of equipment in her house.A gentle tap on her shoulder forced her out of her thoughts and she jumped in surprise.“Heyy" Zander whispered.“It's just me. How are you holding up?" he asked, his kind eyes peering into her face.She barely had it together. All it would take to crush her right now was a any bad news about her sister. But she plastered a weak smile on her face and turned to him.“I am good"His brows twisted for a second and the doubt crossed his eyes but he pursed his lips. She glanced around at her living room. Stone and his men had converted it into a control room of some sorts with monitors and strange devices she couldn't recognize.Zander moved away from her and drew closer to the detective but she followed closely behind him, her ears

    Cassie tried hard not to let her eyes follow Jim as he paced from one end of the office to another.“Come on, Jim. You're going to punch holes in the floor with all that pacing” He turned to her with a pout and rubbed his forehead in frustration.“Easy for you to say, superstar. You're not the one who's going to reject all those juicy deals and watch money move from our hands to another's pockets”She shook her head. It was even more painful for her to think about all the money she was going to lose but she had to think about her baby first.Jim stopped pacing to look at her.“You are really not going to tell me why you need this urgent break?” He asked, his curious eyes searching her face.She lowered her head to avoid his eyes. It wasn't fair that she wouldn't give him any good reasons for her actions but Jim was always kind and understanding, so he wouldn't push for answers anyway.“I don't think you'll understand, Jim.
