Michael was confident that, with Diana Roberts in custody, his revenge scheme would succeed in bringing about the ultimate humiliation of the Roberts family. Even so, Grandpa Robert made him push it aside because he knew he could always reach out and take care of the elderly man if the need arose. He was the only member of the family to treat him with dignity, and he frequently referred to him as the son he wished he had.‘Mom speak to me.’ Clara was growing impatient.‘I did what I did to keep our family business afloat. You can blame me all you want but I did what I did because I am a mother and someday, you will understand what I did.’‘You mean you got mingled with drug trafficking and you are saying I shouldn’t judge you?’ Clara’s voice was rising.Young woman, get a hold of yourself. I am still your mother and I deserve respect from you. That which you have read from the newspaper is just story until it is proven. And I have done nothing wrong but to care for you and your brothe

Michael was confident that, with Diana Roberts in custody, his revenge scheme would succeed in bringing about the ultimate humiliation of the Roberts family. Even so, Grandpa Robert made him push it aside because he knew he could always reach out and take care of the elderly man if the need arose. He was the only member of the family to treat him with dignity, and he frequently referred to him as the son he wished he had.Even with Diana in prison, Michael wasn’t satisfied. He wanted more; he wanted to bring the Robert family name to ruin so that they would know not to treat people like shit or as stepping stones to success. He decided to hire a detective, Nicholas Romo. He came highly recommended by Cynthia, whom he had confided in. She had said he was the best at what he does and he doesn’t leave any fingerprints or mark that he was in a place. So he arranged to meet Nicholas in a dingy bar, on the outskirts of Beaumont city. Despite its look on the outside, the bar was filled to th

‘Why is Michael still alive?’ Roberts Snr asked Steven roberts. They were outside on the corridor of the floor where the governor’s ball was held. There was nobody close by and it was not breezy that night.‘It wasn't my job to handle that part. Was it?’ Steven Roberts replied. His eyes were fixed somewhere else other than his uncle. ‘I ask again, why is Michael Solomon still alive?’Steven Roberts didn’t answer. He squeezed his face and looked elsewhere.‘I see you have grown some balls. I haven’t heard from you or my spy in weeks and I show and you have no explanation for me. That is fine. I see that you want to run this family to the ground. That is fine. But I can tell you categorically that, I would sooner have you kicked out of our family than have you ruin all the hard work we have done so far.’‘I haven’t ruined anything. You made the arrangements to have someone come over and kill Michael. And you didn’t think to inform me.’‘Do have to inform you about doing anything for my

The sun had risen when Clara woke up. She felt a headache and wondered how it had come. Then she remembered last night and smiled. She had partied hard but she didn’t drink that much, so she wondered why the headache came. Then she looked around; at first nothing was amiss. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. There was no sign of Simon anywhere. Where was he? Has he gone to get them breakfast, she wondered. He had been the perfect gentleman last night, anticipating her every need and surpassing them; last night was the best night of sex she has had in a long time. Both of them anticipated the other's sexual needs and performed, if not surpassed it. Their bodies rhymed with raw passion; she felt alive.The door burst open suddenly and three police officers walked.‘Get up from the bed madam. You are under arrest.’ They said,Both Michael and Liam rushed to the bed where Clara was lying. The nurse walked over to them too. She was displeased that both men were there in the room and won

Even Liam no longer picked Clara’s calls. Clara had hoped that he would help her like he did the last time. Instead he left town and stopped picking up her calls. Even Steven left town too, taking a lot of valuables from the house and a large amount of money from the bank. Clara was left alone. Burdened by the shame and disgrace of the suit against her mother, Clara decided to reach out to Michael to help. Michael refused to see her but after a lot of begging, decide to meet with her. They agreed to meet in a quiet park in the middle of the night to keep away from prying eyes.On his way there, his mind flashed back to the day of the divorce. Everything came to him as if he were in that scent that day. The pain came back tooHis mind came to the present. Perhaps, there was still a chance for redemption for both of them or not; but the only thing he knows for sure is that he will get his revenge from the Robert family. News broke the town the following morning. It was about the Rober
