She waited till she had swallowed every bite of food in her mouth before answering Cade's question. "A trailer collided with my car." She answered simply. "A trailer? That's crazy." "Yeah." "I'm sure the trailer driver and whoever was with him did not sustain any injuries as you did," Cade said, though it was partly a question. It may seem cruel to others that he wished the driver was as hurt as his mother but he couldn’t help thinking that way. It would be unfair if the person that almost killed his mum just escaped like that with no complications after almost taking her from Cade. "I don't know if it did, but after the trailer hit my car, I lost control of my steering and the next thing I knew was that I woke up in a hospital at night." "Damn." "Yeah. You know, I think it was just some reckless driver or a brake situation. You know how these people who drive trailers can drive funny sometimes," She chuckled weakly at her joke. Cade smiled. He thought it was a case of rec

The day for the next court hearing was quick to come by. It was just two weeks away from the last court hearing. The Bellwethers were present as they were the last hearing. Cade hoped that the verdict would be passed today so he would not have to waste any more time on the case. It already took too long and he had other businesses to attend to. Yes, he wanted his revenge, but this was taking quite some time. Time that he would have spent on other more productive things. As far as he was concerned, the Bellwethers were not worth wasting time over. He walked into the court room, a few minutes late to the hearing because he had an emergency at work to attend to. He made his way to a seat at the front, just beside his lawyer. A few minutes after he had sat down, the judge came in and the proceedings began. Cross examination was over and a new process in the proceeding was to begin today, after which Cade hoped that the verdict would be passed. His lawyer went in front of the court room a

With the Bellwethers out of the way now, Cade could focus on more important things and people in his life. Things like new partnerships and ambassadorial deals, and people like his mother and his lover, Raegan. Most especially Raegan. They had not been spending enough time together since the Bellwether case began and now that it was over, Cade was going to make time for her. She had not complained about their lack of physical closeness even though they spoke on the phone and video called each other everyday. She was being understanding and giving him space because she also understood what it meant to have a busy schedule. He was so grateful to have a woman like her. If he had still been with Hailey, she would have been nagging him and trying to manipulate him emotionally to spend time with her. A few days after the verdict from the court, Cade decided to surprise Raegan. She was patient with him and she deserved the world. He had an idea he thought she would like in mind. All he had t

As he walked out, Maxwell remembered his relationship with Raegan. As always, it was a result of the match making from the president. Maxwell was a son of a politician, and the president thought it would be nice if his daughter was well acquainted with his friend's son. But under that guise of acquaintance, what the president really wanted was for his daughter to be romantically affiliated with his friend's son, because he thought it would help with his political career. Maxwell and Raegan's relationship had lasted for quite a long time. The duo dated themselves for a little more than three years, and broke up only the previous year, before Raegan met Cade at the graveyard that day. When Raegan and Maxwell met initially, they did not quite get along with each other. Raegan hated to see Maxwell so eager to be around her because she was used to men only wanting her so they could get close to the president, and Maxwell disliked Raegan because he thought that she thought too highly of he

Cade stood up and made to move. The president and his daughter followed behind him. Outside the apartment, Raegan's father insisted vehemently that Cade followed them in the presidential vehicle that was flooded with bodyguards. Cade could fight for himself and he knew he did not need so ,uch extra protection, but the president was insistent. He was coming with them, and that was final so they should just join him at once.Cade finally caved in and got in with the president and Raegan. The president always wore a bulletproof vest and now he was thinking of getting some customized for Raegan. The drive to the Milton Conglomerate took them approximately forty minutes. The first car to arrive at the company's premises was filled with bodyguards, followed by the one that housed Cade, Raegan and the president, then behind them was the final one also filled with bodyguards. The bodyguards in the first car got down and arranged themselves in a pattern before Cade, Raegan and her father cam
