Donovan sat his desk reviewing financial reports and contracts. His brow furrows as he notices inconsistencies and discrepancies in the data. He can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss.“This doesn’t add up. What’s going on here?”Donovan meticulously combed through the financial statements, analyzing each line item and transaction. He discovered huge irregularities, unaccounted expenses, and missing funds. His heart rate quickened, and a sense of concern creeped over him.“Vera, can you come in here, please?” entered into the office, her expression mirroring his concern.“Is anything the matter sir?” “Come closer,” he said. With hesitant steps, she sauntered towards the table. Look at these numbers, Vera. There are discrepancies and irregularities all over the place. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”“That’s strange Sir. I’ll have the accounting team review it immediately,” she had a sense of urgency in her tone. Clearly she knew nothing about it because her shock

Stanford sat on an opulent leather sofa, sipping a glass of scotch. His daughter, Rachel, paced back and forth, clearly upset. “Again Rachel, again!” Stanford shouted. Rachel cupped her face in her hands, embarrassed by the discovery. “Is this how you wanted to inherit my company and my fortune. I told you time and time again that bastard wasn’t good for you. You insisted that I stay out of your business. Now you let him back in after everything…?”“The first mistake you made was letting him into my company. He’s a liability! He’s already tried to steal from us once, and now he’s at it again.”Donovan, stood nearby, his face clouded with anxiety. Hidden in the shadowy corner of the room, Donovan strained to eavesdrop on the suddenly hushed conversation between his mother and grandfather. They spoke of a secret that had been long buried and was now being unearthed. The words they exchanged hinted at a revelation about Donovan’s paternity.Donovan’s heart raced as he listened to their

“Run, run,” that was what the voice in her head whispered anytime something went wrong. Solitude was always the solution for everything. This time she decided to run to a more familiar location because running from work wasn’t going to be a practical solution to her problems. She still had a contract with her boss and definitely couldn’t afford getting sued. The job she did came with benefits and a steady paycheck was one of them. It had been long time since she had been back. In fact Catherine never imagined a day where his would return to her home town. “Will I run into her?” Catherine wondered as she pulled her luggage through the vast airport. There was no way on earth she could run into her mother at the airport the day she decides to come back. In no world would that be a coincidence. It could definitely be her father trying to get them to talk again. Ever since Catherine learnt how to talk, she’s been her own captain sailing her ship wherever she pleased. Her mother was the

Catherine paced the floor of her apartment. She had thought about this for a while but finally got the courage to do it. He didn’t give her a straight answer. His evasiveness said it all, Donovan had cheated on her. With both hands fixed behind her, she continued her repetitive walk. Donovan had gone to work so she had the apartment all to herself. Her heart was slowly breaking. Even after three weeks she couldn’t get his response out of her head. Since then, she hadn’t been comfortable and he knew it. She wouldn’t let him touch her, even when he smile at her she responded with a wry smile. He kept receiving calls each day. When she asked who it was, he would say it was work. He was clever enough to edit the name of the caller each time to match his employees or colleagues. If she hadn’t have answered the call that day, she wouldn’t have been able to guess that it was Lily. “The call, it couldn’t have been fake. Why am I trying to convince myself otherwise?” she thought to her hers

“You awake?” Thomas asked Catherine who was dozing off on the couch.“I wasn’t, but now I am,” Catherine scoffed. He came back from work upset. It was now a normal experience. He stepped into the living area.“What is that dreadful sound?” he asked.“It’s the robot, and it isn’t that loud,” Catherine said. The cleaning robot was circling the living area doing both moping and vacuuming.“What’s with you today?”“Umm, work stuff. I’m all good.”“I can help if you tell me, what’s the matter?” He walked towards her and kissed her cheek, “You’re a baby girl, act like one.” Catherine flinched. Even after a year she wasn’t still used to Thomas’ presence.“What have you been up to?”“Taking care of him,” Catherine pointed at her son who was playing on the floor. She smiled fondly.“I see, I have a thing to attend today. Would you like to join me?”“Yes please, I’m tired of staring at the ceiling,” she cried.“Not the response I expected. Great, I’ll call Kate,” he walked into the room dialin
