“Michelle!!!”

“Catherine!!!”

Marshall's voice reverberated as he sprinted with heavy hot sweat contorted on his face.

“We’re over at the balcony. Come over there!”

Augustine's family received a hasty phone call from him demanding an urgent conversation.

Different thoughts clouded their hearts and it was only moments for answers to be known.

“Why the urgency? Has your father changed his mind on our concealed engagement?” Michelle inquired in sharp breath with eyelid profusely blinking.

“Hey, next time add ‘Madam’ while addressing me,” Catherine spatted with a somewhat furrowed expression, her right finger positioned on her waist.

He stormed before them with no ounce of giggle registered on his face

“If my dad has changed his mind? You had better wake up from your delusional fantasies.”

“I would no longer add ‘Madam.’ You lost that respect the moment you chose to sleep with Barr. Frederick.”

“...Well, we have a bigger problem!”

“Again!!?” Catherine and Michelle shrieked in deep worry, t

How did the CEO get to know Michael Scofield!?” the staff asked among themselves with darting eyelids.“Does his name ring a bell? What the hell is going on?” Lord Barus Israel and his cohort were plunged in perplexity.“Oh, Lord!”“Michael Scofield???

    All eyes flashed on Lord Eric and, of course, the new COO of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise, who were unperturbed about Lord Barus’s barkings. From his hasty defense mechanism, he wasn't prepared to get arrested without pulling forth a fight. “I’m disappointed!!! Was that why you invited my company for the seventh anniversary? To have me humiliated in front of these honorable guests and the viewers at large.” “We are definitely rivals ‘cause we produce wines, that shouldn't give you the effrontery to blackmail me. That’s a spit on my face!!!” “Fuck!!!” The head of the police team winked at Lord Eric to do the needful before Lord Barus uses his petty talks as a route for a deserving escape. “Are you done spewing trash?” “Lions don't roar when the rabbit is engaged in a rat race,” Lord Eric sneered with a smug enmeshed on his cheek. “You have been ratting about evidence? Surely, we'll show you one.” Lord Barus was somewhat unsettled as a smidge of spine vibration was fe

    Marshall, in a ragged heartbeat, took one of the greatest risks of his life and jumped into the front street in the hope the mysterious, unknown personnel could be an angel.His eye hastily glued on the strange figure who wore a red face mask and zoomed off at once, riding towards Aaron County Bridge Fifteenth Avenue.Silence overwhelmed the two as the only sound that could be perceived was that of the speedy car engine.“What has my son got to do with this?! As far as I know, he never had any relationship with Lord Barus Israel, so why the order to arrest him?”Olivia King questioned one of the cop men who wiggled his brows towards the new COO who ultimately should have a better response.As he strode towards Michael, his chest, for awkward reasons, kept skipping and thudding.“Please, what did Marshall do wrong? I know he's capable of many things but scheming to crumble Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise, I doubt if he'd do such a thing.”Michael gently turned, facing him, both eyes glu

Frederick's office but he paid no attention, rather his eyes were fixated on the televisions screen He was so engrossed with the latest widely broadcast news that he didn't grasp the two-time call alert.“Any problem?” he finally engaged, his tone reeking of annoyance.“Not at all, Sir. Just that Madam Catherine has been at the reception and urgently wants to see you,” the personal assistant voiced out those premeditated words.“Catherine??? What could she want again? Doesn't she have work or something?”He sneered with a curved lip before giving the go-ahead hint for access.He clearly didn't want to be seen with her after the leaked adult videotape, but he wouldn't dare deny her access, or hell would break loose.“Frederick. Please, tell me the go

    Five days have passed after Michael Scofield's shock-gripping appointment and he deliberately hadn't held an official meeting till twelve hours ago when a memo was strategically distributed to different departmental heads.All staff had several complex questions about the new COO and why he didn't opt for a staff/management meeting within two days of his appointment which was more like a norm in enterprises.He took it upon himself not to go the route of his predecessors but to keep an open eye in observing the staff a few days more to deduce those who should be permanently relieved of duties.“We are converging at the third floor Oyster Gold Hall for the staff and management by 10 AM. Don't be late.”The various departmental heads passed the reminder message across as they handpicked some junior staff members who would be present while others stayed behind to ensure the company's work was in good shape.The memo didn't inform the specific hall for the meeting which was also a deliber

    Lord Eric took three hasty steps backward as his boy's words tingled his sensory organs.He managed to let out a faint smile before responding.“Oh, don't worry, my boy. I believe you must have had a long time being away from the mansion.”“You need to take some time to rest and rejuvenate so don't stress yourself, okay.”The Great Lord presumed his boy was being considerate as he always had and wanted to console Snow during a tough period of his life.However, he'd prefer Michael to stay behind and get served by the domestic staff members.Michael chimed in back a smile and tutted his lips in disapproval.He understood the motive behind the Great Lord's words, and as usual, he had his best interest at heart--- but the unfolding events were beyond Lord Eric's stance.He has a greater purpose of opting to go with the Great Lord which he wouldn't understand until the time is most ripe.He moved his feet onward and maintained close physical contact with Lord Eric.“There is no better pla

    Michael Scofield literally felt his throat tingling as he leaned further and wiggled his brows at Lord Eric to spill out the premeditated name already.His face was somewhat concocted with a frown, and he would preferred the caller to dial the Great Lord's cell line after their intense conversation was over.The call had rung for about five seconds— Lord Eric chimed a beam at him with a hint he was about to indulge the caller.Michael knew how personal the Great Lord took phone calls, especially when someone he knew needed to communicate with him.“We will continue shortly. I need to indulge Mr. Snow Ambrose…”He managed to spill out and winked at Michael before engaging with the aforementioned caller.Lord Eric knew his boy would have expected him to temporarily ignore the first ring call but had to pick up because he didn't know what could have caused Snow to dial his line.Michael leaned back to the couch and slightly sighed in thought while waiting for the Great Lord to be done.“

    Apparently, he was calm in speech, and I didn't even want him to stress himself to make explicit explanations.Clearly, that was weird of the Great Lord which got the Young Lord somewhat perplexed.“I have known you enough to know how diligent you are in whatever you believe in. If it was something that I needed to know you'd have told me already in the last few days.”“I believe a lot is happening in your life, and you're transitioning to a better version of yourself. Don't worry about telling me what you believe I shouldn't know yet till the time is ripe.”“Whenever you're ready to spill the juice. I'll be all ears but for now. Welcome back, my boy!”Lord Eric's words carried lots of weight despite using a low tone to express himself.Michael embraced him once again and whispered to his left ear: “Thank you. Thank you for understanding.”Lord Eric nodded thoughtfully and firmly while patting his shoulder— a tinge of emotions etched on both faces while they giggled and teased each ot

    Lord Eric Sanchez hid behind a wall in the living room while he muffled a few seconds of laughter after his boy teased him from a distance.Michael Scofield wore a charming smile while the domestic staff helped with the entrance door as they should.Others, without being told, carried two of the bags he was gifted in the old healer's abode with some of his clothing.His instincts expressed that Lord Eric should have perceived his voice earlier and kept mute or possibly hiding.Apparently, that was how much both men had bonded in the past few months after their paths crossed.He stepped into the living room with high hopes to see Lord Eric— he darted his eyes across different corners of the house but was still standing at a point.He returned his eyes to some of the household staff members a few miles away who were still shining their teeth in excitement.They observed how he was suddenly gazing at them and slightly lowered their faces while indulging in muffled smiles.It dawned on hi

    They had been staring at him in silence and knew he was battling with several inward thoughts that he hadn't shared with them in the past six days after his return from office on the day of Lilian's arrest.Ethan had discussed it with his grandfather, who insisted the Shepherd should be given a level of privacy to sort out his heart thoughts with his personal struggles, which was common with every gifted heir.The old healer believed nothing was strange about Michael drifting in thought and, a couple of times, musing to himself— he was a human and would have in-depth questions to mumble upon.“Our Shepherd. The training never ends as each day comes with new things to learn about humans and the act of healing them.”“Remember to conduct your daily meditation exercise at the earliest dawn and before you retire for the day. It helps to keep your mind and powers active so you wouldn't be taken by surprise when the time to save someone has arrived.”After a couple of seconds and silent eye

    Stephanie had few words yet unspilled and had to bounce back to words before the suspicion abounded.Lilian stared through her and could smell the uncertainty entrapped on her assistant's curious facial expression.“Sir. I actually met him a couple of times during my internship period. However, when I officially got employed, he was already apprehended and sacked.”Michael nodded thoughtfully and arose while holding Jake's phone on his right finger.He was exhausted with the back and forth and needed to find a way to get to the peak of the investigation.“Haha!”“Did you know your boss has been involved in several shady businesses?” He fixated his eyes on Stephanie with his face completely enmeshed with ease.DING!Lilian dreaded in growing fear, it was beginning to make sense why Michael Scofield called her in for a meeting alongside her assistant.Stephanie bulged her eyes out and uncontrollably stared at Lilian and Michael with her mouth agape.She never knew the meeting was about

    Immediately Michael Scofield’s words crept out of his mouth— John and Jake tightened up their loose countenance and maintained a calmer demeanor.They didn't need a soothsayer to tell them how complicated it would be to trap Lilian if she profoundly sensed something awkward with them.During the first five seconds of her entrance, Michael waited to know if she'd fall, victim, as John and Jake did in mouthing too much than expected.Apparently, she seemed different and only proceeded to greet the COO while waiting for him to pop the expected question about salary and incentive increments.Michael's question rang a different tone in her head, and slowly, she exchanged eye contact with her assistant, who still hadn't fathomed the motive behind the meeting.Lilian was trying to make sense of the twisted reality before her and find answers to questions she was entertaining inwardly:‘My possible closeness with the ex-COO? The former elevated staff member who was sacked over a year ago? I t

    She didn't know exactly how to feel or whether she had been overthinking things lately about Michael and Stephanie or if it was normal for him to be whirled up with several thoughts.She had done everything possible to always enthrall Michael's attention, but one way or the other, the Adonis of Manchester seemed to redirect his attention to other things, and that has been discouraging.Michael had been the first man to treat Sheraton professionally for a longer time and that was entirely shocking to her.All men who had found a path with her always desired to date her, but with Michael, nothing was actually guaranteed, and that had been a puzzle that she hadn't been able to solve.She presumed Michael should have already perceived how she felt about him due to how sensitive he was but deliberately didn't want to delve on that path with her.“We must hurry. We can't keep the COO waiting for so long.”Lilian, whose countenance had been basking with a smile, informed her assistant of the
