"Is history about to repeat itself?" He secretly hoped that would not be the case. "Is everything alright sir?" The driver asked, looking at the Old Man through the rear view mirror."Everything is fine. Concentrate on the road." The Old Man answered. He turned his face and gazed through the window, his mind drifting away with different thoughts.***Ethan appeared from the staircase with a file bag in his hand, greeted by the laughter of Paul and Rachel who were oblivious to their boss's arrival."Care to let me in on the joke?" Ethan asked as he got closer to them, making the duo lose composure."Nothing boss, just regular work stuff." Paul came to the rescue."Regular work stuff huh?" Ethan asked with an eyebrow raised."Anyways, give this to the finance team and tell them to tailor the budget to fit the readjustment that I've made." Ethan said, pointing the file bag in his hand to Rachel. "At once sir." Rachel said, standing up immediately and collecting the file bag from her bo

He added in his defense.The door of the SUVs and 4 men in total came out, all dressed in complete black mercenary clothes, with their faces covered, save for their eyes."You know how precious we take our time." One of the men stepped forward and spoke. His voice distorted due to the mic attached to his throat."I apologize, what I have to show you will make it worth your time, I promise." Alex said, reaching his hand into his pocket.The sudden movement, made the men bring out their guns and cocked it pointing at Alex."Hey hey it's just my phone, it's just my phone."

"I'll have my driver drop you off." Jason added. "Now leave." He ordered.With complete shock and confusion, the young lady picked her clothes from the floor, put them on and headed for the door.Jason's sudden switch still remained a mystery to her. "Was it something she said?" She wondered as she took a final look back at him before exiting the door finally.Once she was out of the room finally, Jason slammed his hand on the pillow beside him."How dare her!" He said to himself. "Putting my name in the same sentence with that glorified peasant." He added, his eyebrows furrowed in a frown.Heaving a sigh, he stood up from the bed and headed into the shower. He wasn't going to let anyone ruin this mood. After all, he knew exactly how to bring Ethan down.***As the day of the commencement of the Monument Project drew nearer, tension filled the air as each house positioned itself mainly against Ethan and Sandra but also against each other.***"Yes thank you for coming."

Sandra held her gaze steadily. "Risk can lead to great rewards, but also great losses. It's a fine line to walk." The air between them thickened as the tension grew. She wasn't going to back down from whenever Denera was playing at."True," Denera conceded, her tone velvety smooth. "But those who master the art of balance often find themselves in positions of unparalleled power."Sandra raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "And do you consider yourself a master of balance, Denera?"A slow smile spread across her lips. "I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur of opportunity. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice the moves you've made, concerning the Monument project. Quite the undertaking.""Thank you. It's been a long time in the making.""Yes, and such endeavors often attract... interest from various parties. Some might see it as a threat to their own ambitions."Sandra eyes narrowed slightly, the underlying meaning clear. "Are you suggesting I should be concerned?"

"Do you know who sent them?" Ethan asked, looking at Sandra and the driver."It was Denera." Sandra answered."Denera Lockwood?" Ethan asked to be sure."Without a doubt." Sandra replied."How can you be sure she's the one? It could have been anyone else." Ethan laid out his reluctancy to believe what Sandra said."Trust me Ethan, she's the one behind this." Sandra said, her eyes locked into Earth's own as if communicating with him in another plane."Very well then, we all need to be more careful" Ethan said after a while. "It's obvious the other Houses will go to any length to make sure we're off the project and that it's given to them instead." He added."There's no going back. We proceed as planned Ethan." Sandra said.Ethan gave her surprised look. Wasn't she the one who was almost a victim of an attack and kidnap? How can she be unfazed and ready to fire on?"If the Houses sense weakness from us, it will give them the drive to attack us more. We can't afford to show fear." Sandra

Sandra sighed, she couldn't turn him away now anyway, "very well, tell him I'll be down soon." She said, taking her gaze back to the full length mirror, making minor adjustment to her dressing."Yes ma'am." The maid bowed and walked out.***Packed just outside the Walton mansion, was Ethan's G-WAGON. Seated at the driver's seat was none other than Paul and seating behind the passenger's seat was Ethan."Women and taking forever to get dressed." Ethan muttered to himself, as he checked the Rolex watch on his left hand.As soon as he finished making the statement, the gate of the mansion opened as Sandra walked out majestically, fully dressed and prepared for the day's event.Paul got down from the vehicle and opened the door for her to get in."You look really good." Ethan complimented as soon as Sandra settled into the seat beside him.His eyes feasting all over her, struggling hard to take them off.Paul entered the car and kick-started the ignition. "Shall we sir?" He asked"Yes Pa

"Your attention is highly needed sir. It's your sister. Something had happened." The man who barged in poured out, without giving his boss a chance to say his mind."What is it? Is she alright?" Jason asked as he removed the earbuds from his ear and placed them into their case."Yes sir. It's about what she may have done." The man answered, a sense of urgency in his voice."Spill it!" Jason's voice went higher than normal."It can't be said sir." The man answered, with a slight bow."What in God's name does that mean?" Jason was beginning to get frustrated."You have to see it sir. I'm here to take you to see her." The man answered."Very well, let's go." Jason gave in and headed out with the man.***"What the fuck Denera?" Jason yelled as he entered his entered his sister's room."Oh please spare me the judgement and backlash Jason." Denera fired back, sitting on her bed."Judgement and backlash?" Jason scoffed.

"This is unnecessary Ethan." The Old Man as he watched on, as if the person he spoke was in the room with him, or would hear him through the television.The Old Man heaved a sigh, it seemed what he greatly feared was about to materialize. He had to conclude his mission and return to the city as soon as possible.***Denera laid on her bed, restless, turning from pillar to post. She had changed back into normal house wears, clad in a simple gown. The television that hung on the wall was on and displaying news. Denera's attention wasn't on the TV though. She was too restless to concentrate.Letting out a little scream of frustration, she jumped out of the bed and headed for the door..A sharp and energetic tone came from the TV, halting her in her tracks.
