It was 8:20am. The four walked out of the White Mansion. Then suddenly they all stopped walking. Harold, Jones, and Doris gazed at Achiel. The three were staring at him in a weird way. "Where do you think you are going?" Harold was the first to attack Achiel. "You are not thinking of coming with us to Hoveland, are you?" Harold pushed again, sneering at Achiel. Achiel looked away from Harold to the other two. He could tell from the faces of the other two that they were in on this with Harold. The three seemed to be on the same page this time. "He wouldn't want to. I mean, he wouldn't want to embarrass himself." Doris scorned at Achiel. She had a wry smile on her face. "We don't have the time to waste on trivial things." Jones made his own input. Jones was the first to walk away, and the other two followed. Achiel watched them enter into the car and drove off. Grandmother had told them all to go to Hoveland, but only one of them could enter into the company and submit the propo

Jones was seated in the lobby, waiting, looking in a particular direction every now and then. He was in the Hoveland company, and he was one of the few people who were already present with their proposals to be submitted to Miss Zoe. Though himself, Harold and Doris had arrived ten minutes before 9.am, there were already five people ahead of them. It was almost 11 am. at the time that he got attended to. And ever since he had submitted the proposal, he had been waiting for a response. Suddenly his phone started to ring. He brought it out and answered the call. "Why are you calling me?" He was informal over the speaker. "I mean, we have been waiting here for a long time. Why is it taking so long?" Harold asked over the phone. Jones looked in the other direction through the door, but he couldn't see the car from inside the lobby; the car in which Harold and Doris were waiting for him. "Don't stress me, please. You can go home if you can't wait any longer." Jones dismissed. "I'm

Fear gripped everyone who was inside the station. Everyone who was present with them there was stunned speechless. This trash man who was thrown in the dirtiest cell is who? No one could have seen it coming even if they used the costliest microscope. The Sheriff felt a wave of shame hit from every corner. It was obviously too much for him to take. Seeing that the great Miss Zoe had fallen flat right in front of Achiel, he dared not remain standing. There was a flood of heads bowing to Achiel, but Achiel was not really amused by the homages paid. "Rise." Achel said finally.Zoe was the first to get up, but she couldn't look Achiel in the eyes. She was very scared of what had happened to Achiel. "Please forgive me, Young Master. I was out of my mind. I had no idea who you were. I didn't know what got over me." The Sheriff started to beg. Acheil looked slowly at the sheriff. The rest of the cops also joined the sheriff. "Have mercy on us, Young Master." They all chorused. Zoe sudd

The news spread across Jade City like a wild fire, scorching every heart and leaving scars on all minds. The news about the son-in-law of the Auroville Mansion who was maltreated and thrown in prison. It all started with a big media station called Eagle Wings Room. This station was the most popular station in Jade City. This media only put out important news. Every influential folks loved to watch the station because of its up-to-date information and verified news. It has never released rumours or inaccurate information. This is exactly the main reason why the whole of Jade City had gone amuck because of the news. If it was spread by the Eagle Wings, it meant that it was the actual truth. Other media stations that were much smaller and those with average ratings released the news, too. In short, no media station didn't talk about this incident. Articles and posts started to flood the social media apps in Jade City. In the Auroville Mansion, Madam was seated in her usual seat. She

There was a great wave of muttering that swept across the hall of the White Mansion. Everyone was stunned by the news that they had just watched on the big screen. They were only just celebrating the news of the proposal, which was approved. It hadn't even been an hour that things turned around so shockingly. Each family of the big Auroville family couldn't trust each other at that point in time. Everyone was suspicious of their neighbour. "Can someone tell me what the hell is happening?" Grandmother demanded. Grandmother was the most furious of everyone. She couldn't even imagine losing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When again would Auroville be able to get a contract with a big shot as Hoveland!!!Getting this contract took them almost a decade. She would do everything in her power to avoid any problem in her way. "AM I speaking to logs of wood? Are you all pretending to know nothing about what Miss Zoe has just said?" Grandmother was raising her voice this time. Grandm
