NEW YORK.Lauren didn't know how her brother did it but when he told her that Phil had agreed to come back to New York in two days, she was over the moon. Finally her mother would be free from the present state she was in. Normally, she should have been taken to court and given a sentence for her crime, but because someone as powerful as Rose Sinclair was involved, she was able to manipulate the police custody into just keeping her there until she was satisfied with the punishment.She was not being tortured or anything, she was just locked away and all electronic devices were taken from her. From the way her mother described it, she said they just locked her in a small room with only a small bed and a mirror. Then there was a toilet seat and a roll of tissue for her to use.She hated the fact that she was powerless in the situation, especially since her mother was involved. So as much as it pained her, she had to just fold her arms and watch her brother do all the work. Of course, af

NEW YORK.Thankfully their trip went according to plan so they were back in New York safe and sound. From the airport they went straight to the mansion and as Matthew laid eyes on them, he was overjoyed. The old butler immediately dropped his cup of tea and rushed over to trap Jason in a bear hug."It is good to see you too Matthew." Jason was not sure Matthew had hugged him before, except for the first day he was reunited with his grandfather. After that day, physical touch was limited to just taps on the shoulder."I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival, and now that you are finally here, we should have a feast." He said excitedly."A feast?""Yes. First we are celebrating the safe arrival of our young master. Then second, the birth of the newest member of the Decker family, little Anya Decker.""And Andrew Decker." Erika said , holding little Andrew so Matthew could see him. Sure enough, when he did notice, the joy on his face was unhidden. He gently took him out of Erika's han

Since they saw the video Meredith posted about two hours ago, they– mostly Jason— had been on edge. He was pacing around the living room, mumblimg to himself and occasionally throwing out some curse words as well. Erika hated seeing him like that but every time she went close to him to try to talk to him or get him to calm down, he would say. 'It's alright, I'm okay. Just thinking.' so eventually, she just left him to do his 'thinking' in peace.Matthew still had not returned and she was starting to feel worried, because he never went out for that long without informing anyone. Jason on the other hand, was getting angry because the meeting they were supposed to have was being delayed by Matthew's lateness."I'm going to the kitchen for a drink," Erika said, breaking the odd silence that had filled the living room. "Do you want anything?"Jason's reply was something between a no and a frustrated groan, almost like she was disturbing him."Suit yourself. I'm getting myself a drink, and

Among the staff working at the Decker Industries and the other branches, Steve was part of the very few that were aware of the fact that Jason was indeed the CEO, and that the man who made the public announcement was his grandfather.When he found out, he felt honored to be working with someone with such a high power, and he also considered himself a lucky man, because Jason did not treat him as just a staff, he talked to him like a friend, and that was something Steve did not have.He was worried when he suddenly lost contact with Jason, and ever since, he had not been to work, adding to Steve's worries.He was in his office when he felt someone approach him. Looking up, he was shocked to find Jason's grandfather standing right in front of him.He was shivering because he didn't know what the old man wanted from him. He asked Steve to gather all the upper level staff at the HQ, and then invite the head of management teams from the other branches, and they all had to be there by two P

"Mother.""Marcus, what are you doing here?""Am I not allowed to visit my own mother?""You know that is not what I meant, it's just that since this whole thing happened you havent come to see me, so I assumed you were busy with work.""That doesn't mean I shouldn't make time to visit my mother." He said as he sat on the chair across her. "I'm sorry.""It's quite alright dear, I can understand how you must gage felt.""Here, I got you this." He knew how much his mother enjoyed drinking wine, and after getting consent from Rose, the officer guarding his mother allowed him to smuggle one in for her. "I'm sure you must have missed it."He was right, it felt like it had been months since Mabel had last enjoyed a good drink. "Wow, I wish you would visit more often, Lauren never brings me anything.""You won't have to remain here much longer mother, my sister and I are working on a way to remove you from this… demeaning situation.""Let me guess, you are planning on handing Phil over to th
