LXXXI

Gazing at her computer's screen, Robin sighed as feelings of dread and regret filled her. She had thought of all kinds of ways to make come up with the money Damien asked her for and the only reasonable solution she had was to ask Ethan for the money. Though the idea had struck her multiple times she continued swatting it away in hopes of coming up with something else. She could ask for a loan from the bank but taking out a large loan that significant, including interest could possibly run her small business into debt or worse into financial ruin resulting in her losing the whole thing. "What's been going on with you lately?" Julian asked placing a cup of coffee next to her on the desk. Reaching for the drink Robin took a large gulp and the man looked at her with concerned eyes. "Woah, slow down there. It's not going anywhere ya know?" "Thanks for the coffee, I really needed a pick me up" "So, what's got you so riled up?" "Hm, financial issues?" "I didn't know the company was

LXXXII

For some days now Robin had tried various ways to come up with a solution on how to rid of her problem with Damien, she had even requested the assistance of her friend Rick to find out where Damien had been hiding but they had no luck in that department. The man seemed to have vanished just as fast as he had shown up.It had already been more than a week since her meeting with Damien and that meant she had only about five days to come up with the money. If not she might lose everything she had worked so hard to get. Since asking her husband for the money was out of the question given that he already was giving her an allowance, courtesy of their contract; she needed to come up with something else and fast. She was running out of time.Plopping down on the couch she draped her arm over her eyes in fatigue. Releasing a heavy sigh Robin closed her eyes in an attempt to relax her tired and heavy body. The day seemed longer than usual and she found it to be cumbersome. Hearing the sound of

LXXXIII

Finalising her things Robin looked at the ATM screen with sorrowful eyes. She felt defeated and completely drained. Tomorrow would be the day she meets up with Damien and with each passing second she felt her heart race in dread. Hearing the ringtone of her phone come from inside her bag she scrambled to get it. Seeing the number on the screen she quirked a confused brow but answered the call anyway. "Hello?" "Robin, my dear how have you been?" At the sound of the woman's voice, Robin instinctively sighed already feeling tired at the mere sound of the other's voice. "What is it you want now Mother?" It was odd yet not that surprising that her mother was now calling her. She had long been expecting it and even though they had kept silent for a few weeks she knew it was only a matter of time before they reached out to her. "Oh, come now is that any way to speak to your dearest mother?" She wanted to laugh at her. Dearest mother? Robin did not even think of her as a parent since th

"This is preposterous!" Mr Clarre exclaimed banging his fist against the table. "Absolutely unforgivable, I will not allow you to do this!" McGuire joined in on the screaming whilst President Iyong just watched in silence. Waltzing into the room Madame Pourrie pulled out a chair for Mrs Young and the young woman thanked the former before sitting down. Sybil, being the gentleman he was stood up from his chair and pulled out a seat for the Madame. Thanking him she sat down with a smirk on display whilst the other men in the room continued arguing. "Quite frankly gentlemen, I can." "No, you cannot. This is not your decision to make!" "Oh, but it is. It seems that you have forgotten who even started this company. Heads up, it was none of you" Annoyed with his arrogance McGuire glared at the man but Ethan remained calm and unbothered. All of a sudden Mr Clarre broke off into a smirk as an idea struck. "And how do you suppose you fire us? We each have a share in the company, kicking

Waking up to the bitter crispy air of the morning Robin still slightly in a daze grumbled in protest and hurried back into the warmth of the blankets. Cuddling up to the warm embrace within Ethan's arms she smiled in satisfaction."This is quite the way to wake up"At the sound of her husband's husky, deep morning voice Robin lifted her head to look at the man only to find that his eyes were still closed."Are you awake?""No"He answered without hesitation. Scrunching up her nose in dissatisfaction she watched him in silence, admiring his long lashes and the way his perfectly sculpted nose perched above those exquisite lips of his."You're staring""How would you know if I'm staring when you're still asleep?""Because I can feel your eyes boring into my face""Could just be you being paranoid"She shrugged her shoulders not once looking away from the gorgeous specimen in front of her. Opening one eye to take a peek at her he suddenly broke into a smirk the action was enough to make h

Seated in his study with a glass of whisky in one hand and his tablet in the other Ethan looked at the screen in a blank stare. His mind seemed to be elsewhere as he had been rereading the sesame paragraph for the last thirty or so minutes.Finding it pointless he sat the device down on his desk before swivelling his chair around to gaze out his window. Changes in Robin in the last few days had him on the edge and he had no idea how to proceed. No, perhaps it had not been days but weeks now.She had started acting weirdly long before now and he was too preoccupied with his own things to tackle the issue. However, it seemed his negligence of the situation only made it worse given how she was now disappearing in the middle of the night only to return the next morning smelling like soap, as though she had just taken a shower.He wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions without any evidence, but it was progressively getting harder to do so with her odd behav

LXXXVII

Entering the mansion feeling relieved as a heavy burden was lifted off her shoulders, Robin made her way to the kitchen. In the mood to celebrate she opened the fridge and grabbed the grape juice. Pouring herself a glass she was about to quench her thirst when a knock on the door to the kitchen stopped her. Looking over to see Alec there, oblivious to what was happening she greeted him with a friendly smile. "Oh, hey Alec. I feel like I haven't seen you in a long while. How have you been?""Mr Acres is looking for you. Please follow me"Not answering her question his face remained stern and emotionless. This caught the woman by surprise as she had thought the man had warmed up to her. Jotting it off to him not feeling well she followed him up the stairs to Etan's study where he waited for her."Thanks"Bowing his head at her he turned to leave but soon stopped in his step. Turning his head at her Robin looked at him with curious eyes."I know that you care deeply for Mr Acres, and wo

With his face to the side, a stinging sensation made its way through his cheek. He looked at Robin who only glared up at him with tears in her eyes before storming out of the room and slamming the door shut. with a hand on his cheek, he flexed his jaw to ease the sting in his cheek. Groaning in irritation he leaned back on his desk. Running a hand through his hair he swept the stray locks back only for them to slowly fall back over his forehead. Sighing he looked back to his tablet. Grabbing it he began going over the files Alec had gotten him about Damien.According to his findings, the man was a convicted felon with multiple charges of assault, robbery, breaking and entering. This guy had so many charges going as far as being caught selling drugs and being involved with some nasty people in the underworld. It seemed that he and Robin use to be in a relationship some years ago but it ended when he disappeared with some of her money. For some reason or another, he was back in the c

Driving down the city streets the bright city lights flashed by like shooting stars. The different lights blurred together at the speed Ethan drove, making it seem like one was in the middle of a rainbow. Behind the wheel, the man knit his brows together in worry. Immediately after hearing about Robin's accident he hurriedly made his way down his car and drove without hesitance. It was as if his body moved on its own as before he knew it he was already behind the wheel and on the road. "Come on, get out of the way!"He growled at the driver ahead of him repeatedly beeping for them to speed up or get out of his way. His head was muddled up with all sorts of thoughts running through his head. His heart was racing faster than a horse on a race track and his mind could hardly keep up. At the hospital, a team of nurses rushed an injured and concussed Robin down to the operating room. Her eyes were bloodied and unfocused she could only make out the outlines of people surrounding her and

The septic smell of pure alcohol and medicine was so potent it could easily make one drowsy. Making his way past the white walls and waiting area with seats filled to the brim of patients waiting for their turn, a tired Alec stopped in front of a sickeningly white door. To his right written in bold black letters was a name tag. Mrs Acres.He sighed dropping his head to the floor before heaving a large breath. Raising his head he braced himself as he lifted a hand to the door.From the inside of the room, the sound of a gentle yet firm knock could be heard. The foreign sound is a contrast to the silent beeps of the monitor."Come in"Upon hearing the command Alec entered the room. Closing the door behind him the man orderly placed his hands in front. The bright yellow file in his hand stood out from the interior white walls. Everything inside seemed so artificial as though it was not even real, everything except the man sitting beside the bed, hunched over a small frame that laid still
