~ Flash back ~"Senorita, pass me the soup" Mr Sami, her father said, slicing the fish in his plate open. "C'mon father, the soup is nearer to you than me." Young Zara whined, looking to her mother for help. "No no, don't look at me." Her mother cautioned, a soft smile playings on her lips. "Ugh...." She groaned "You're never a help." Her mother chuckled, chewing a piece of meat gently and slowly. You can say she's a woman of grace and elegance. Her husband pays her monthly just to look after their home. She earns more than a high class salary earner. Love as they say conquers all, almost everyone was against their marriage but together they scaled through, making a lot of people unhappy. Zara's father, Mr Sami is a millionaire and self employed. The best construction engineer in California. Their family is the envy of most people, the way they have family dinners everyday, day out every Sunday, the laughter and joy that's always on their faces is the envy of many people

*** ***Yumi strolled to the park when she had spent her childhood growing up. It's the only place that have her peace now.Earlier, when Jonas was convulsing very bad, she had been scared for him, scared for her life even though she would be a lot better without him, she was still scared.The park is unusually empty, it used to be packed with kids but right now, it is empty. She is the only living being in the pack.She stands from the park bench and walks to the swing chair to take a swing and feel the wind by her hair.Just as she rounded the corner, she meets someone there already, swinging.She walks closer with a surprised frown. She didn't expect to meet anyone here.The person stops upon sighting her, "Yumi?"She would sure recognize that voice anywhere, even in dark "Trish?" She called back, walking fast."What are you doing here?" They both asked each other the same time."I usually come here to take a break from adulthood." Trish shrugs, "You?""It is my first time coming h

*** ***Adams enters his apartment, tired and stressed.He meets Asher by the TV, listening to the News, Trish was no where in sight. Thinking about it now, it's been a while he saw her or had a nice chat with her."What's up with you, what have you been up to??" Adams asks, falling down beside his brother, back resting on the couch."I could ask the same of you, I barely see you around""I've been busy.""Busy with my matter. I thought I told you to drop it.""I couldn't, knowing the person that did gave you a scar is out there, living happily.""My boss had him saved too"Adams frowns, "Who?""The assassin, the one that tried to kill me."",He did what?!"Asher kept mute, chewing on a potato chips Adams didn't notice before.""Are you serious?""Do I look like I'm joking?""Where's the b@stard now, which district? I'll make sure he spends the rest of his life in jail.""He's not in the station. We didn't hand him over!""Why?" Adams frowns ever more deeply, "Don't Tell me it's your

*** *** "I'm going to do it." Alina said decisively, "It's either that or Ryan dies anyway." "I told you, I'll find a way around it!" Olivia murmured softly. "You can't, there's no way to around it. Today is the deadline anyway." "Why did you require my presence then? I left my grandfather unattended to run here for your supposed emergency." Eleanor asks Olivia, "She already made up her mind, and if I was in the same shoes as her with Asher, I'd just run away with him. I'm rich enough for that but I doubt she is. So this is way better, another option is talking about it with the CEO." She shrugs. Olivia groans into her palms in frustration, they were gathered in Alina's living room. Each of them were lost in their thoughts, Eleanor's phone pinged, breaking the thick silence in the room. Just as Eleanor picked up her phone to check the message, the entrance door opened forcefully, revealing Zara with disheveled hair, puffy and baggy eyes, in every bit of disarray. "I need help."

~ Donald ~ I fixed bacon and eggs for breakfast to eat. I opened the door to leave for work only to find a young petite lady. Her long chestnut hair packed in a ponytail, she has green eyes and round face. I noticed how she looked at me with calculating eyes, giving me a quick once-over before meeting my gaze. When I saw she was through studying me, I asked the question that was at the tip of my tongue since I saw her. "Yes? Who are you?" I curled up my lips. "Your new maid" she said nonchalantly. Huh?? New maid?? I can't remember asking for one. I narrowed my eyes at her. "My name is Courtney and I was employed by your mother to be your maid" she introduced further, smiling. I stiffened when she mentioned my mother, I should have known she wouldn't listen to me "Get out" I said coolly. She raised an eyebrow and looked at me squarely in the eyes "Make me." WTH!!!!!!! She isn't even scared of me, doesn't she know w
