The alarm went off and Eric immediately opened his eyes. He checked beside him, and Samantha was already up and out of bed. He yawned, stretching out his arms as he stood from the bed and walked straight into the bathroom, to get prepared for the day's activity. A thought suddenly struck his mind on how to arrange the meetings and make the plan work out smoothly for him. Not long after, he came out of the shower and started to get dressed. He picked up his phone and dialed Damien. As soon as it started to ring, Damien picked up the call and greeted.“Good morning boss.” He greeted, and Eric heaved a sigh.“Mind your words. I am at home.” He said, and there was a brief moment of silence before he talked.“How can I be of help?” Damien said, and Eric cleared his throat slightly as he looked around, making sure that no one was looking.“Where are you?” He asked.“On my way to the company,” Damien responded and Eric gave a nod.“I will meet you there soon. There is something I need to dis

Eric's gaze fell on Damien as he walked in through the door. He felt a bit relieved and quite excited at the sight of Damien. “There he is. Arrest him, officer.” Damien said, pointing to Eric, who stood up slowly and quickly understood the script he was to play. “I am sorry. I am still sourcing for your money. That was why I even came here to borrow some so that I could pay you. If you get me arrested now, how do I get the money from the cell.” Eric asked in a low tone as he pleaded for him not to be arrested.“Wait, officer, you are making a mistake. This is Eric, do you know who he is?” Michael asked as he approached the officer, but before he could get a reply, his mother talked, grabbing the attention of everyone in the room.“Don't listen to him, officer. Do your job. Take him away from here. We don't know him.” She said, and Michael kept mute as he did not know what to say but to keep watching as the drama unfolded. “Officer, arrest him, please. I have a meeting to attend, an

“Your filthy, good-for-nothing husband has been arrested for not paying up his debt. Now you have to rethink if you still want to be with that loser, or you want to be with someone else.” Michael said over the phone and took a pause, taking a deep breath to catch his breath. He heaved a sigh before he continued to talk, but Samantha started to talk, making him keep quiet to listen.“Michael, is this really you speaking?” She asked as she brought the phone off her ear to see the caller ID again before placing it back over her ear.“Oh yes! This is me. I was blinded by the wrong fact, and now I am back to my senses. Leave that man alone.” He said, and Eric could not help but stare at his wife as she kept mute, listening to his brother.“I should have known this was your plan all along. Getting him arrested.” Samantha blew hot over the phone and Eric became scared that Michael could reveal what happened. He heaved a sigh, getting the attention of his wife, who did not listen when Michael

Eric quickly got dressed, minutes after his wife left the house. “I have to meet with Damien before she arrives.” He whispered to himself as he wore his clothes quickly. He dashed out of the room and headed straight to Juan Manuel Corporation. He walked in, and the receptionist directed him straight to Damien's office. Eric heaved a sigh as he knocked on the door to the office and in not time, a response came.“Come in.” He heard and opened the door swiftly, going inside. “Young master, what a pleasant surprise.” He said as he stood up abruptly from his chair and ushered Eric to a chair. “What would you like to have? You did not inform me that you are coming.” Damien said as he tilted his head to look at him. Eric took a deep breath as he thought of where to start from.“Damien, there is something I want to discuss with you. It's very important.” Eric said, and Damien immediately had a smirk on his face.“It took you long enough, young master. I was intending to tell you about it too

Michael searched through all his pockets but could not find the card. He heaved a sigh of frustration as he went towards his bed to sit on the edge. Different thoughts soon ran through his mind as he sat there. “How do we pay up this debt?” He asked himself as he was slowly losing his mind, knowing that there was no way Samantha would ever agree to marry Darius and also Darius had rejected her outrightly without giving any valid reason for doing so. He heaved a sigh as he began to tap his lips slowly with his fingers.His phone suddenly began to buzz, and he checked to see who was calling. “Darius” he whispered to himself as he tilted his head away immediately, contemplating on whether to pick the call or not. “It's just a call.” He said and took a deep breath, closing his eyes briefly. Just as he was about to pick the call, it ended, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he tossed the phone to the other side. He leaned backwards, resting his back on the pillow as he went deep in thought.
