NEW YORK.THE HOME OF DAVID SINCLAIR."Mr Sinclair, there is a lady outside who claims she needs an audience with you.""Can you not see that I am in the middle of something? Ask her to come back some other time. It is probably one of those ladies who come to offer their 'services' for money or fame, and I am nowhere near that mood.""That was what I told her as well sir, but she insisted on seeing you. She said she has a proposal for you, and that it was one you would want to hear.""A proposal eh?... Very well then. Escort her in.""Right away sir." The tall and heavily built guard bowed to his boss before exiting the study room. The lady in question had been asked to wait in the compound of the mansion but when he went back outside, she was nowhere in sight. "Hey!" He called for the guard by the gate."Yes sir?""Where is that lady who wanted to see the boss?""Uh no idea sir. After you went in, I asked her to stand right here.""Well then where is she?!!""Right here!" She answere

FEANCE. "You are the root of all the problem, so why don't you just do us all a favor and die. Just die, that way we can all be happy. I'm sure Jason would feel better without the extra baggage, because that is all you are to him. Extra baggage."When Meredith said that, Erika felt a sharp pain in her chest, and it wasn't just because she felt hurt that she was talking to her in such an offensive manner, it was because deep down in her heart… Erika knew that Meredith was just saying the things she used to think about.When she first met Jason, she used to feel bad for him because it was obvious that he was doing the best he could to make money, and things were not going the way he wanted. He was always working hard, and he was always ready to do any extra work, as long as it could earn him an extra pay. She understood him because she was like that as well.Asides from managing her parent's store, Erika was always available whenever there was extra work to do, she wasn't lazy and she

NEW YORK."What the hell are you talking about Phil?!""I'm sorry Lauren but I don't think I can come back to the city just yet. There is this deal that I am still trying to sign, it is going to be worth it when I do so please try to understand.""Worth it, for you or for me?""Us, my dear. It will be worth it for both of us, so please let me finish up here before I come back there.""Did you even hear a word I said? My mother is still at the police station, and Rose said the only way she is going to drop the charges against her is if you show up. How can you tell me you can't?""I understand my dear–""Stop calling me that! Just find a way to get over here tomorrow.""To be fair, it wasn't my fault that your mother committed a crime, so why should I have to abandon my work because of her?""Did I just hear you say what I think you said? It wasn't your fault? So you can't help her out?""That is not what I meant Lauren, it's just, I wish you would understand me. If I leave now, it wou

"Meredith, can we talk?""I have nothing to say to you, so if you don't mind I would like to continue with my work."Jason needed to lure her out of the mansion, so taking no for an answer was not an option. "It's really important that you and I talk."She didn't respond, instead she kept typing angrily on her laptop and normally Jason would have just walked away, but now was not the time for that. He needed to do his part so the others could do theirs quickly and without interruption.They had to leave France the next day and Jason didn't want Meredith to be aware, in fact, he wished no one would be alerted of their travelling. So his first option was for them to leave without packing at all, but it didn't sit right with Erika and her parents, so he came up with option two.Lure Meredith out of the house so they could quickly pack their luggages and take it to a hotel that he had booked for the night. Then once it was morning, they would each come up with an excuse to leave the house

"Jason, I have loved you all my life. I don't know if you know this but, after you were taken, I almost killed myself. I wasn't the same without you.""I'm so sorry about that." He was aware, because his butler had told him all about it. And even though he wasn't at fault, Jason felt bad for making her go through something so painful at such a young age. He wished she would give him a chance to make things up to her, but not in the way she was implying. He wanted to make up for old times, he wanted them to go back to the time when they were best friends, he wanted to know what it felt like to have a sister… but it was obvious that what Meredith wanted was entirely different."I don't need you to be sorry!" She blurted out, catching the attention of some of the other customers around. "I need you to make up for all the time we lost!. And the only way you can do that, is by getting married to me.""Married?!" Jason's eyes bulged in shock as he heard her. She wasn't even talking about
