Not long after, Eric was already in front of his door an idea popped up in his mind as he thought of pranking his wife. He took a deep breath as he knocked on the door and waited for his wife to talk. “Come in.” He heard her say, and he chuckled slightly, knocking on the door again in a bid to get her to stand up from wherever she was seated.“I said, come in.” He heard her yell again, this time a bit louder than the initial one. He inhaled deeply as he knocked on the door again, and suddenly, he began to hear footsteps approaching the door, he leaned against the wall beside the door and he began to laugh uncontrollably. The door opened immediately, and his wife peeked outside to see who it was, and then her gaze fell on her husband as he stood beside the door, laughing.“So it was you all along?” She asked, and he only tried to bring his laugh to a halt. “I was waiting for you since and now that you are just coming, you are stressing me already.” She said, and he took a deep breath

Samantha woke up, opening her eyes slowly as she tilted her head to look at Damien, who was still sleeping. She inhaled deeply, as she sat up on the bed, yawning before she decided to go and ease herself. She got off the bed, trying not to wake Eric up, but he opened his eyes as he heard the movement in the bed. He tilted his head around to look at her, inhaling deeply before he talked.“So you just want to leave me here on the bed?” He said in his groggy voice, and she chuckled slightly before she talked.“I just wanted to go and ease myself. I was not leaving you for anything.” She said and turned to walk to the toilet. Not long after, she was done in the toilet and came out to the room, taking and deep breath before she talked. “Good morning darling. You didn't even let me greet you at first. You just started off the day with….” She stopped as she did not know what else to say to him. “Why did you stop?” He asked her and heaved a sigh as he sat up on the bed, yawning as he tilted

“Yes. I never left the country. Who said I left the country?” Sir Chadwick asked rapidly, and he brought his phone from his ear to check the contact before putting it back over his ear to continue to talk.“You are not serious with that?” Eric said in a sharp tone, and he cleared his throat slightly as he made a scrunching face as he didn't seem to understand what was going on.“Why did you say that? Did Damien tell you that I left the country?” He asked, and Eric shook his head slightly, as he did not know what else to say or do.“No. He did not. I thought you left the country. You clearly told me that you were not around.” Eric said as he heaved a sigh, coming off the bed for a moment as he walked to the closet to grab a shirt to wear immediately he was done taking his bath.“I don't recall ever telling you that. And if I did, I probably, did not want to show you that I was around.” He said, and Eric exhaled heavily as he thought of what next to say.“Grandfather, I need to go and t

Eric inhaled deeply as he tilted his head to look at Samantha for a moment before he looked at Emily and then Lydia, who now had a puzzled face as everyone was looking at her. “Michael is my wife's brother. You see how my hands are tight on the matter. And even if he is not family, seizing their properties is enough punishment for them.” Eric said in a low tone, and she gasped in shock as she heard what Eric had just said. She tilted her head slowly to look at Emily and then Samantha, who was looking away as she did not want to make any eye contact with her.“I apologize for that. I had no idea this had turned out to be a family issue.” She said in a low tone and Samantha shook her head slowly before she tilted it to give Lydia a look and laughed.“You are absolutely right. He deserves all the names that you have called him. And he deserves to go to jail too, yes. Considering all that he had done, he is not supposed to be anywhere apart from jail. But you know that no matter a family

“There is no way I could ever forget that. No way at all. I will be there very soon. I just need to finalize some things here in the office before I take my leave.” Eric said and tilted his head to look at Lydia and Emily after he had gestured that they waited for him to finish before they left.“Okay… be here at the family mansion. I will be waiting for you.” He said, and Eric nodded as if his grandfather was there to see him nod his head. He inhaled deeply, trying to get his thoughts right before he talked.“Okay. I will be there. Make sure you have some snacks and I will be coming with Samantha too. You know, I always go everywhere with her.” He said, and he chuckled softly as he tilted his head to look at Samantha, who was also chuckling when she sat down. “Do you even know the family mansion at all? Have you been here before?” He asked, and Eric shook his head slightly as looked at the girls, gesturing that they hold on a bit longer so he could finish before they go home. He inh
