Since he woke up, only Alina came by but he noticed Asher is always on his phone typing and smiling."From the desk of CNW, a sad news just reached us." A reporter announced from the TV, "The CEO of Glen's accessories, Dollos has been found dead."Both Asher and Adams glanced up.Asher frowned, recognizing one of the logos owned by the company. It was the same as the one on his killer's wrist."Found you." Adams smirked, he finally got the link he's being searching for. Now he's going to dig into Dollos' death and see if it's any way connected to Asher's murder attempt.It took one week but his indirect threat worked."The doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow right?" Asher asks."Yeah, why?""Convince him let me out today.""No one knows you are alive, may I remind you?""Your guards can follow me home.""Still..." Adams

I can't risk being seen by my father.""Do you need me to hire men for you?""Nah... I'll be fine. There's no threat if father isn't aware of where I am."Devin nods, "Alright then. I'll just grab few of my things and stay with you.""About that?" Alex makes eye contact with Devin, "I would rather be on my own for now.""Huh?" Devin frowned, "A...are you sure about that?""Positive. I need some alone time." Alex nods, "Go have fun, do something. Take a break from worrying about me too much.

She snaps."I'm not feeling too well mother." Jeffery announced."Oh my baby." Grandma Joan cooed, "Go and take a rest. I'll tell you about the meeting later on"Jeffrey smiles and walks out much to the annoyance of others. He has always been the favourite of Grandma Joan.Grandma Joan returned her attention to the others, with a sigh, glaring at her.Grandma Joan was not a happy woman, she seemed like a woman whose happiness was snatched from her. She had been working on securing a contract with the Nolvani company for months now, and the deadline was fast approaching. She had recruited her family members to help her, but so far, none of them had made any progress, even with the promise of sponsoring their vacation.

*** *** "Can I tag along?" Olivia asks, the minute Alina entered the kitchen."Just after you threatened my mother? Sorry no and besides, you heard Grandma Joan, Family only.""I am family too.""I suppose..... In a way but we are talking about Grandma Joan here." Alina explained, almost pleading with her voice for Olivia to understand her."What about Ethan?" Olivia argued.Ethan scoffs, "If Ryan is going, no one can stop me from tagging along.""There, you have it." Olivia opened her arms, as if proving a point."Why do you even want to go? You have no business there.""I want to see how your family is like." Olivia shrugs.Alina face palmed herself and walked to the room.

You saw two couples left the dining room, probably to have some alone time and yet you are, still waiting like an idiot." Olivia counters."If that makes me an idiot, then what does it make you too? For the world to know, you are still here, waiting with me and that also makes you much of an idiot as I am.""You sure as hell better have your bus card because I wouldn't pay your transport fees.""I didn't expect you to." Ethan snaps, walking out of the Bruce family house. Everyone had left, leaving only both of them. Olivia muttered some incoherent words under her breath, following Ethan with a grumble. It was late now and the sky was really dark. "Heyy, wait up!" She called after him increasing her pace.Ethan allowed her enter the bus first and paid for both of them before she found her bus card in her purse."That doesn't mean anything." H
