*** *** Grandma Joan entered her study room, ushering Alina inside."How are you feeling?""Um... I'm good?" Alina replied, walking gingerly behind her grandmother.The last time she had met her, they fought so she wondered what the impromptu meeting is all about."Take a seat." Grandma Joan told her.She sat opposite her Grandma, staring at her questioningly.Grandma Joan cleared and throat and regards Alina."I know you must be wondering why I called you.""Yes, did I do something wrong?" Alina asks."No... I want to talk about Javier's body and the CEO of Nolvani. I'll go with the CEO of Nolvani first."Alina nods, urging to continue."It's no surprise that we want you engaged to the CEO of Nolvani.""Yeah..... It's pretty obvious.""And since you decided to choose your husband over a reputable human like that. What if we make you his mistress? How's that?"Alina wore a frown instantly, "His what??!""His mistress. That will help the family in so many ways.""I don't care about th

*** ***"Heyy, what's going on with you. I have been seeing you staring into nothingness since morning.""Yeah? Really?""You look particularly stressed too, is something going on with you?""No... Nothing is wrong." Alina says quickly, walking around the counter and disappearing into one of the rooms."Olivia was hot on her heels instantly."You can talk to me Alina, what is bothering you so much?""Leave it Olivia.""I'm not going to leave it. I don't care of you push me away or not. I'm always here for you. I know somehow you are hurting, let me make it up to you. Should we have a girl's night to relieve ourselves from these stress and tension building.""I don't need one.""Come on Alina, if you think for one second that I'm going to leave you, then you better think again.""What do you want Olivia?" Alina asks quietly, with a sigh.""I want to know what bothering you. Is it because...""Grandma Joan called me for a meeting" Alina announces."Omg!! Is it because of the restaurant?

*** ***"Yumi!" Jonas scoffs, watching her retreating figure.Yumi stops in the kitchen, her hand on the cabinet, as she tried to calm her racing heart.Jonas is awake!! Her brain kept reminding her, she didn't know if she should be happy or not. It was really crazy.How did he wake up so fast.Even more so, he lost his memory, meaning she can make him believe whatever she wants him to. This is a miracle in disguise, yet, why is she so scared?It's not like anyone is going to burst her lies. No one was there except her, Jonas, Adams and Trish. And those two know better that to appear before Jonas..She takes in steadying breaths, calls Dr Thomas and returns to the room with a lemonade, Jonas favorite drink."Oh, look who's back!" Jonas says sarcastically."I got you your favourite drink." Yumi tells him."You were so eager to get me a drink that you ran outside?""And to also call your Doctor.""You mean yours? Because I only know of Doctors in a real hospital, not at home and they

*** ***Devin sat by a bridge, legs dangling above the water as he thought about Ryan's condition to help Alex.With a devil of a father and self centered boss like Mr Morbian. How is he going to get his hands on the deed to the company.It is a mission impossible!Devin groans into his hands, angry with himself. If only he had not listened to Mr Morbian. If only!!Mr Morbian doesn't trust anyone, not even the bank to keep his deed. The closest person to have his trust would be his wife, Melinda..But if by some crazy chance Melinda knows where the deed is, there's no way she would willingly disclose. She loves her husband so much she would take a bullet for him and although she cares about Alex in her own way, she never interfered whenever Mr Morbian was hurting Alex. Right now his only option is to surrender to Mr Morbian, even at the cost of his life.If he can some how get closer to Mr Morbian, closer enough to be able to tell where a man like him would keep the deed to his compa

*** *** After her confrontation with Ryan, Zara walked back to her apartment dejected. Age needs a plan, know who is after her. Even as she walked back to her apartment, she constantly threw furtive glances over her shoulder, see if she is being followed. Zara enters her apartment tentatively, a bottle of champagne in her hand. Her eyes quickly signed the environment for any forced entry or anything out of place, but everything seemed to be in place. She collapses on her sofa, popping the champagne open and taking a huge swing from it. If Ryan didn't know anything about it as he claimed, who then is after her and threatening her. She ran away from Australia to avoid all that and how it seemed like her past is catching up to her. Suddenly a noise came from her kitchen. She became alert instantly, her senses wide and calculating. She contemplated going to check for the source or running away. Finally, she took the baseball bat in the living room, heading to the kitchen, her mind r
