Henry arrived home and saw Chantal who was waiting for him on a couch.

“Babe, you’re back.” She beamed. “The food is on the table, come..”

Henry sluggishly let her lead him to the dining room.

“How was work?” She casually asked as she sipped tea.

He frowned. “Not good. The company is not doing well. The stocks have been declining, clients have pulled out one by one. We only have a few models in the company left.”

Chantal closed her eyes, worry etched on her face as she caressed her growing belly. In 3 weeks, her baby would be born. She became increasingly worried as to how her child would grow up as they’re facing this financial crisis.

“I’m sure you’d be able to figure it out, babe.” She spoke. Her words were meant to motivate him but even to her, it sounded empty.

    She remembered an almost similar scene when she was younger. Only that time, she refused to admit the sign.“Have you said anything to Henry?”Chantal shook her head. “No. I was planning to go to the company and help him out since he’s been busy dealing with it.”Vanessa leaned her head back.A few days ago, she talked with the elders in the office. Vergil told them about the tax that they have failed to pay while Osmond was the one managing it.Vergil also showed records that didn’t match up. No matter how the family has spent their money like water, it shouldn’t have depleted as much. To solve this, Vergil has utilized the income from other properties to pay for the tax. The income from the company was still sufficient for their lifestyle. But now, the stocks have declined, their models are leaving, their clients are pulling out.

    Clank! Clank!The sound of the baton hitting the bars resounded, catching the attention of the men held behind it.“Ozzy, you have a visitor..” The warden sneered.Sitting on his uncomfortable bed, he looked up when he heard the nickname they had made for him.Since being sent to prison, Osmond hasn’t had a worry-free minute. Especially on that first day he came. He was beaten up right away. Since then, he was made to do chores or errands for others. If he would so much as talk back, he would get a harsh beating, but not enough to send him to a hospital where he could get a hospital arrest instead.Ever since he was sentenced to prison, his family hasn’t visited him. They didn’t want to be seen getting even a foot away from jail. Unexpectedly, the only one who has ever visited him was his son-in-law, Henry.Thanks to Henry, he wa

    “Did..did he sign over other properties?” Vergil trembled in shock.Henry shook his head. “He didn’t tell me if he did it to other properties other than that.”“I see..” Vergil sighed.After a while, he looked towards Chantal and Henry. Now that he found out that Henry was not the culprit in giving away the property, he was not angry at him anymore.“You young people need to talk about your issue calmly. In a few weeks, your baby will be born.” He told them.Henry’s eyes dimmed. He didn’t want to be convinced to stay together with Chantal.“Grandpa. I could never forgive him for cheating on me and endangering my child’s health.” Chantal stated, her head held high.Vergil shook his head. ‘..you have too much pride.

Pierpont has only been taking care of the Lovell clan’s affairs only.. Particularly, Lucas Ingram’s. With them as clients, he wouldn’t have to bother taking other people’s cases just for money.

    After posting her message, Carly James looked on the screen with excitement. After a few seconds, a direct message popped up on the screen. “Hi there! Are you really a fan of Big Sis Diana?” the message read. “Yes! Are you also a fan?” She excitedly replied. “Awesome! I’ll be your partner then! Hehehe.. I’ve been her fan since I was 3 years old..” “You’re kidding… since 3 years old?!” “Yes! She’s absolutely the best!” “Well then, I’d be honored to be partners with you.

    She has been so busy with her Medical degree lately that she hasn’t thought about the Winchesters since the trial. She has even forgotten that time when Heather decided to move because of Henry’s disturbances in their old apartment.Now, to hear that Chantal has given birth and that Henry’s affairs were discovered, was mildly surprising to her. However, since it also concerns the life of an innocent infant, she was worried that he would suffer the consequences instead.“Also, one of their properties has been taken over by someone else. Osmond had a deal with this person years ago. The old patriarch just found out about it too.” Lucas continued to update her.“Oh? Who took over?” Diana was not really interested, but asked anyway.“Mortimer Hutchison. Osmond asked for his help in causing mom’s accident which led you to be born early.”&

    “Oh, right. There’s that. hahaha...Anyway, who cares? Diana’s concerns before don't exist now. She already has her degree. She’s already a career woman. She could be with whoever she wants and even can start her own family. Unfortunately, Henry couldn’t wait for her and even chose to fuck with the ex-twin sister instead.”“Tuntununtuntun.. And now, he also cheated on the ex-twin sister while she’s pregnant with their kid..”“His D should be cut.”“He’s a manwhore.”“Craziest story: He believed/still believes that Diana is in love with him and is only with Lucas to catch his attention.

    Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled

    Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei

    “Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall

    Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo

    As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s

    The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta

    After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl

    Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin

    Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
