A soft sigh left Ivan's mouth though not to the notice of Charlie. Slowly, his eyes traveled to the figure that was standing next to Charlie and a sad sigh let his mouth, one he bothered not to hide. There was an emptiness in Tara's gaze where she stood as she eyed Ivan up and down without saying a word. Ivan remembered– though he hated it now– that there was a time when getting to catch a glimpse of her beautiful face was more than enough to bring him happiness but now…. Just looking at her made him feel angry but there was something else he was feeling for her. What was it? Empathy? Why was he feeling that way for her? His deep blue eyes bore into her and almost as if he was a seer, he could see how sad of a future she had drawn for herself. But now was not the time to be thinking about that. Now, his main focus was to escape from Charlie without wasting any time. Charlie looked behind Ivan at the men in suits who were watching him rather too closely that it made him feel unco

Charlie let out a growl like a ferocious animal, no one had ever dared humiliate him like that especially in front of the watchful gazes of the other students. “You will all regret this! Tell me where to find your boss! I will get you all fired for your foolishness!” He spat out with anger causing his blood to rise. “You'll give yourself a heart attack Charlie.” Ivan said coolly. “A bet is a bet and you lost out of your arrogance. I'm sorry but it can't be helped no matter how many times you scream and try to threaten us.” Just then, the dean of the school walked by and noticed the abnormal activity that was going on. “What is happening here?” He asked as he walked towards the scene. Charlie's eyes widened as joy filled him. He knew for sure that the dean of the school would definitely take his side no matter what. “Oh thank goodness!” Charlie sighed with relief. “Dean! Dean! Come and help me! These men are trying to rob me and it is all because this foolish boy here gave them th

The small group of friends and family went silent and watched Ms Wayne do her thing. She reached into her bag and took out a laptop and some wires. “What are we going to do with all of these wires?” Trevor's brow arched as he asked. He couldn't hold in his question any longer and he wasn't really the kind to watch in silence and patience like the rest of his group. But Ms Wayne didn't mind his question and gave him an answer without breaking her focus from her work. “I'm going to connect four androids together. This phone,” she pointed at Charlie's phone, “this phone,” Tara's phone, “my own phone and my laptop. All of them will be linked together.” “Why do you need to connect them together? And why is your phone a part of it?” He watched intently at what she was doing as he laid down another question. “Well you see,” Ms Wayne started. “These two phones–” Tara's and Charlie's, “--both hold secrets that we all need to know. It would be stupid of us to take the risk of going through

Vienna felt a smile work up on her face. The night before, Ivan had promised her a night she would never forget in a thousand years but he ended up leaving her behind to attend the dinner with the Banks family. While she worked at the hospital, he told her they were already putting the evidence together and once they were done, he would spend the entire night with her. She quickly wrapped up with her work and left her son in the care of the personal maid Alfred had hired for her. Ever since Alfred moved out of the mansion with all the other maids and returned to the Wayne residence, she was all alone so he hired a few new faces to help keep the house tidy since it was too big of a job for one person anyway. Her personal maid was Frankie, a young and beautiful brunette with bright blue eyes and a warm character. “Be a good boy okay?” Vienna said to her son. “Frankie will play with you all you want tonight, mommy has to work outside tonight.”“Again?” Williams heaved a sigh. “Yes,

The room was silent for more than a minute. Ivan remained on his seat with his eyes fixed on Janet while she stared back as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened. “You speak.” He finally managed to get the words to leave his mouth. “I always did.” She responded plainly.Ivan let out a soft laugh. “What exactly were you trying to gain by pretending not to be able to speak when the others were here?” “I was saving my first words for you. I know we didn't quite end things properly before…” “Before you suddenly passed out? Yeah, we didn't.” Ivan completed her words for her. “What happened to me? I feel some slight pains in my stomach–” she reached for the blanket over her lower body to lift it but Ivan held her hand and she looked up at him with a mix of confusion and surprise. “You… you were on some… pills.” He said and her eyes widened.“How do you know that?” She asked surprisedly. Her hands moved away from her blanket as she stared at him. “That's what happened to yo
