Jasper can't believe his ears. Adriana worked her ass off to get that contract and they are going to throw it all away?! “That's madness, you can't do that!” Jasper protests. “Mister Banks, you are not even part of this family!” Thomas shuts him up. “I'm afraid, but I will have to agree with my brother,” Nate says. “And Adriana, where is she?” “It was an emergency, she had to just travel very quickly!” He lies.“Why hasn't she been picking up my calls?” Mister William Sanchez asks. “I don't know, but she will be back soon!” Jasper is staring at Andrew, but Andrew is not even moved. Nate Sanchez is sitting back and enjoying it. He had waited for this moment for a very long time. He has been helping to run the family business for decades now, but his father refused to retire and make him the official owner. He was very happy and even contributed to getting Thomas and his family kicked out, but he was outraged when his father, Mister William gave Adriana a promotion and refused to

Nate is covered in shame as he cannot believe that Andrew threw him to the ground. He stands up to his feet and tries to attack Andrew, but Andrew grabs Nate's hand in the tightest grip that he has ever felt in his life. “Try to hit my wife again, and I will break every bone in your body.” Andrew whispers to him with a calm smile and Nate is immediately covered in chills. Andrew lets go of him and Nate takes several steps away so that he can be far away from Andrew. Just to be safe. “You fools think that I'm scared of you? Even you, this rat called Andrew?” He points at them. “My father took too long to get rid of you people, but me? I will do it as quickly as the snap of my fingers. You will regret this.” “I'm not quitting, uncle, and I'm not scared of you.” Ruby says. She has been living in fear of her extended family, but she won't anymore. Nate spits on the ground as he curses them under his breath. He goes back to his car and drives away with great speed. “Great! Everyda

Nate waits and waits for Rakeem Blackhood’s call to come that he has done the job and killed Andrew, but nothing comes. Nate doesn't give up just like that, he waits for a while and holds on to hope, but when he gets a message that Ruby has started putting things together for the contract, he decides that his plan has failed, so he kicks starts his next plan. He angrily walks into his office and makes a phone call. “Hello, is this the office of the low cost estate in the south side of New York?” “Good evening, sir. How can I help you?” “I want to purchase a house with the number 217.” Nate says. “I'm sorry, but that house is not on sale…” “A million dollars!” Nate says. “But, sir…” “Two million!” Nate says with spite. He is not backing down at all. The person at the other end of the phone starts to stammer. The houses are not for sale, but he can't reject such an amount of money. Why does this man want such a poor house in the first place? He sounds like he has a lot of mone

Ruby takes her new job very seriously. She believes that if she does it well enough, her grandfather that hates her family will have no other choice than to hire her again. It's a miracle that Adriana has vanished into the thin air, but Ruby is happy because this has given her the chance to shine. She wakes up very early the next morning, early before the sun rises and prepares everything. Uma's uniform has been ironed and her lunch has been prepared. She writes a note on the a paper and places it next to Andrew on the pillow. She kisses his forehead very gently so that he doesn't wake up from his slumber. She tiptoes out of the room and Andrew immediately opens his eyes with a sigh. He hasn't been asleep the whole time, he was just pretending so that she wouldn't feel bad for waking him up. The thing was that she didn't wake him up. He has been up for a long time. The military has altered Andrew's brain chemistry in such a way that he could function well with just two hours of s

Doreen cries into her hands, her painful sobs pierces the heart of everyone that hears it. Thomas is heartbroken, he gathers her in his arms and comforts her, but that does very little. Her father gave her the pearl necklace before he died when she was just a young woman. It was passed down to his mother and he gave it to her mum, his wife, before she died. When he knew his time was up, he gave it to her and it was her most prized possession. It wasn't because it was expensive, it was barely worth a few hundred dollars, but she loved it because it was her father that owned it. It pained her because she couldn't go back to get it, she knew that the creditor won't give it to her. Ruby looks down as a tear slips from her eyes as she goes on and comforts her mother. “I am expecting some money next week. I will pay as much as he wants to get it back.” “But what's the use?” Doreen wails. “He is going to come back for his money and more others like him! We are into so much debt! We ow
