Jane sighed with her gaze fixed on the large dressing mirror before her. Her black hair was tied into a tight bun."It's not a date Jane!" She muttered under her breath and went for red lipstick. She wouldn't want to feed herself with any ideas and even though her relationship with Ken was on a rosy path currently, she'll rather not dwell on any possibilities."Perfect!" She mumbled and pressed her lips against each other ensuring they have an even spread of the red lipstick.Before leaving the hospital that evening, Ken requested that they have dinner in one of the city's five-star restaurants. He was specific with his request. They will be hanging out to celebrate their victory over Charlie who was now behind bars.Jane strode to her closet and pulled out a black velvet gown. She slipped into it. The dress stretched to the soles of her feet and had a slit by the left. There was a straight opening from her chest that parted her breasts, exposing some part of her bosoms. She grabbed a

Jane held Ken by the arm and led him to bed. She sat beside him and placed her head on his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart."You went through a lot Ken!" She mumbled and look up at him.He wrapped his arms around her and looked into her eyes. "Pouring out my heart to you tonight made me feel better." He said.She held up his stare and placed her hand on the left side of his chest. "Are you sure about it?"He smiled and hugged her tightly. "Trust me, Jane. It was good speaking to you about my past tonight. I've been carrying this burden for years and even though I had therapy sessions with my Master which I must confess helped, I still never felt completely relieved."She sighed and tightened her grip around him. "I pray you heal and I hope you get justice.""Justice? I've searched for that man that came that night all my life but never found him. I believe that one day, I'm going to lay my hands on him and he's going to pay for what he did to my parents." Ken replied."Le

Cassie clenched her jaw with her arms still folded across her chest. "Give me one reason why I should listen to you Master Yohi?"He sighed and held up her malicious stare. "You are angry my child and despite your anger, you decided to show up here."She turned away and he continued speaking."Even after hearing my conversation with father last night, you took the risk and showed up here. This can only prove the point that you have doubts about my involvement in the situation and I implore that you give me the chance to speak.She turned to him with trembling lips. She pulled the stool and sat. Master Yohi was right. After eavesdropping on them last night and after pondering the issue several times, she still had doubts about the Master's loyalty and decided to confront him."Stay calm. Get rid of all your rage because I need you to listen to everything I'm going to say to you, Cassie."She nodded and shut her eyes."Take deep breaths and clear your mind." The master advised.She inha

"This whole revelation is driving me insane!" Cassie remarked after taking her head into her hands.Master Yohi sighed and reached for her hand. "You must stay strong Cassie. I understand how hard it is for you."She turned to him with a fierce look. "How do you expect me to stay strong or act calm? I can't believe I've been living with a liar all my life. After I confronted him, he told me that he knew Ken's parents from a distance and since Ken had no guardian, he was entrusted the right to the boy's property till he was of age.""Your father lied to you. His younger brother Trent, handed the papers to the company to him the week he died. I think his brother knew that there were a couple of bad men on his tail and no one knows why. He planned to come home from Brooklyn the following week and introduced Ken and his mom to you guys." The master explained.Cassie began to nod repeatedly. "Now I'm beginning to get the hang of this story. Ken's father set up the company in Boston while h

Ken kept shifting his gaze from the door to the files littered on his table. It was Monday morning and he was already seated in his office. This week, he'll be only handling administrative tasks.After Ray pulled the car to a halt in the parking lot earlier, Ken kept searching for one of the vehicles that usually drop Jane at the hospital but none was in sight. It was evident that she was yet to arrive at the office.He stared at his wristwatch. Should he give her a call? He sighed and darted his gaze from the door back to his table. He had just spent about twenty minutes in the office so Jane might be on her way.Ken shook his head and continued going through the papers before him. He wondered why he was feeling like a teenager in love even after being with Jane for three years. He had spoken to her on the phone about a hundred times during the weekend and still didn't get enough. He was hopelessly in love.A few minutes later, the door to Ken's office was pushed open. He let the pen
