The sun glitters through the curtains of Austin's bedroom. He squeezes his eyes before gently blinking them open. His phone on the nightstand rings. He extends his hand to it and grabs it. He sees Vincent as the caller. He answers the call."Hello." Austin greets, his voice raspy."Morning. Hope you're preparing to meet up for breakfast?" Vincent asks.Austin quickly sits up. He was so tired that he forgot and overslept."Yeah, sure. I'm almost done." Austin jumps out of the bed."I'll meet you in the next ten minutes." Vincent says."Sure."The call disconnects. Austin undresses and jumps into the bathroom. He showers quickly and rushes out. He checks the clothes in his wardrobe that best suits a breakfast theme in a restaurant. He chooses plain trousers and a blue shirt with a tie. He dresses quickly and wears a black shoe before rushing out of his apartment.Austin takes a bus to the restaurant. Getting there, he sees Vincent getting out of his car. They must have arrived at the sa

Austin treks down the pathway leading to the river under the Golden bridge. He spent time with Ariel when they were still newly married. Ariel would always prepare a small picnic. It was usually night time that they came here. The night air holds a familiar chill as he gets closer to the stream.He sits at the edge and looks at the stream. The lights of the city; buildings, cars and the one of the Golden bridge reflects on the surface of the stream. The events of the day floods Austin's memories. He remembers how Vincent came up to his defense in the restaurant. Vincent could have easily sent him out but Vincent stood for him. He wished that Vincent had been in his life earlier but better late than never. Austin chuckles silently as he can't believe he almost thought of Vincent as someone who was after his life, someone who wanted to ruin him. Thank goodness that confusion was sorted out if not he would have lost a good friend.Austin picks up a stone nearby to throw it in the river a

Christian's shoulders slumps with guilt as he listens to Rose's accusations with a heavy heart.He did not want to escalate to this level. He is just glad Rose is alright and the fatal phase is over now. Now she just has to recover."It's all my fault," he admits, "I should have never given you that medicine. I'm ready to take all the blame for what happened.""If I had fainted in that conference room," Rose shouts, her voice rising in anger, "Everyone would have thought I was incapable of being the president. I could have lost everything because of your stupid mistake!"The intensity of Rose's words reverberates in the room. Rose is not ready to back down. She wants Christian to feel her pain. She wants to humiliate him in front of father."And what if I hadn't been found in time?" Rose continues, her voice trembling with fear. "I could have died, Christian! All because you didn't think before giving me that medicine."Rose can shout as long as she wants. Deep down, Christian is glad

The door unbolts loudly startling Alex from his sleep. The door swings open revealing Bane standing at the entrance. Alex wipes his drool off his mouth with the back of his hand."Is something wrong?" Alex asks, worried."You can come up. The cops will have nothing to do with us anymore." Bane replies, walking away.Alex smiles, "I'll be up in a minute."Alex looks around, hoping to find somewhere to hide the briefcase. It is too risky walking around with the briefcase. He sees a corner in the wall that something can be kept. Alex keeps the briefcase in there and walks out of the room. Alex walks up to the surface of the ship. The cool breeze gently blows him, chilling him a bit. He wraps his arms around himself to keep warm. Alex looks closely and immediately something is wrong. He stomps towards Bane at the rails. How come they have not left? What is still keeping them? They were supposed to have left in the morning."Hey." Alex calls out, approaching Bane, "Hey!"Bane turns

Vincent sees a familiar couple ahead and reduces his walking step so that Austin can meet up to him. Vincent glances at the familiar couple ahead of them, "isn't that Ariel and her new boyfriend, Luther?" "Yes." Austin replies, in bothered about seeing Ariel and Luther. Vincent and Austin walk past them without acknowledging their presence, still following the manager. Vincent looks at Austin, "Did you see the news about Alex?"Austin looks at Vincent surprised, "You saw it?""Yeah. Apparently he committed suicide." Vincent says. Austin blinks in surprise, "Suicide?" "It was later revealed when the police went to his home. They found a letter admitting his guilt and didn't want to spend his time in prison." "It's a shame. Now that case will be closed." Austin says, still feeling dread in his guts. The manager stops in front of six mannequins all dressed corporately in different styles and colors of suits. "When we got your request, we prepared these for you to make your choice
