She couldn't believe Theodore bought it for her. Theodore saw her longing stare and he thought the dress would look good on her. She had given up on dressing up really pretty and was used to dressing up like the secretary she was. While she was living with her mom and step father they never let her dress up nice she was always on pants. And even at that Emilia was still jealous of her. She saw a smaller gift box and opened it. It was a beautiful necklace and there was also a card in it. 'Hey, I know you're going to say 'this is too much I can't accept it.' But don't, the necklace isn't a parting gift but of agreeing to be my friend.Let's just say it's a bribe. I'll see you at the office.' The card read and Janelle chuckled.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle arrived at the office with the necklace on her neck. Theodore saw it and smiled. He didn't think she'd really accept it but she did. It would seem the little card did play it's role. He couldn't be more happy. After work hours J

Theodore watched as Janelle happily ate her dinner and chuckled. "Why aren't you eating?" Janelle asked. "Am just admiring you." Theodore said. "Why?" Janelle asked. "You're like my first official fan. You love my cooking." Theodore said. "Oh, am sure a lot of people would also agree to you being a good cook. Go on eat your dinner." Janelle said. "Okay." Theodore said as he continued eating his dinner as well. After dinner Janelle offered to do the dishes but Theodore asked her to rest. Janelle decided to watch him after Theodore was done with cleaning he held Janelle's hands. "I asked you to get some rest, why aren't you sleeping?" He asked. "You're the guest, this is your first time in my house but I made you work..." Janelle said biting her lips. "Am not complaining." Theodore said. "Janelle." "Yes." She answered."Don't you think you should go back to therapy. Am not saying you're going crazy but... You get all emotional with the people from your past." Theodore said.

"I guess that little business trip did make you two close." Charles said. "So you now understand why I care about her so much. She's someone with unstable emotions. And I don't want her to hurt herself again." Charles said. "What did her mother tell her?" Charles asked knowing Janelle told him about it. "Theodore I need to know." Charles added but Theodore was reluctant to say a thing."But I promised her I wouldn't tell you. And dad please don't worry I'll protect her too just like I'll do Karina." Theodore assured. "Just tell me, you're not breaking your promise to her. It's high time I thought the Dawson's a lesson or two. I've always left them out of it but..." Charles was saying when Theodore stopped him."Dad, since you know her mom went to see her yesterday why don't you ask her yourself?" Theodore asked. "You know Janelle kinda really looks up to you." Theodore added."Fine, I don't want to be the reason why you broke your promise I'll handle this myself." Charles said wi

Robert left Theodore's office and headed home. Dalia saw him looking dejected. "Honey, what happened? Where did you go?" Dalia asked. "I need to be alone for now." Robert said."No, I need you to talk to me. You can't just keep this to yourself we would all be affected if something happens to the business so I need you to talk to me we can solve this together and look for a solution." Dalia persuaded. "Theodore is behind this." Robert said. "What?" Dalia asked surprised."Yes, I confronted him and he said he was the one. And he said he would watch as the business crumbles." Robert said with a sigh. "How dare he? He is no longer a Brantley so why can't he just leave us be?" Dalia half yelled. "I want to talk to him." Dalia said. "No Dalia you would only make things worse." Robert said."That brother and sister are such a pain. Why can't Kendra and her children just leave us alone." Dalia yelled. "Kendra is dead so just leave her out of this." Robert said. "But it feels like sh

Zoe, was an arms dealer. Well she wasn't always one considering the fact that she was just a few years older than Theodore. She was to inherit the business from her father and like her father she had an unwavering loyalty to Charles and his family. That day at the bar she only went there to gather information for Charles. Naturally she had no dealings with people like Yeager. Her reputation precedes her and she was mostly feared by all. Those who knew her identity dared not mess with her cause they knew what the end game would be. It wasn't like her father didn't have a son. He did but he believes his daughter was the best candidate to take over from him and she had proven herself worthy."How's your father?" Charles asked. "He's okay, I wonder why he decided to go to Mexico for some holiday." Zoe replied nonchalantly."He's busy there." Charles said. "Hm, I just hope my brother isn't leading him on some futile adventure." Zoe sighed."Your father might just have his head if th
