It was party after party for the members of Davin's camp. It was a well deserved victory as the odds played in his favor. He sat back at the mansion and life looked complete to him. His vengeance on the Windsors and Derek made him feel there was no more to life than to drink, eat and enjoy the wealth he had acquired. What more could he ask for, all he needed and ever wanted, he got by the snap of his finger. He looked through the window and the next question he needed to answer was that of his personal aide, “what's next?” James asked his hands behind his head and his legs wide spread.“I don't know James and right now, it feels like I don't have a purpose.” Davin said, pouring a wine into his glass.“I thought so too, all that just for the fun of it and now it's all over.” James said, almost in regret.“I wish we played with them a little longer, now look at us, we're bored.”“I took your fight personal that I put a lot of hold to whatever was go

Helen knew that if she followed him she would look like a child tagging along after him. She wanted to scream in anger but she couldn't. She wanted to cry but it would be too obvious. James was waiting for her reaction. She tried to smile and wave it off but her lips only trembled. “Have you had the opportunity to take a tour around Lord Davin's garden, Helen? They are quite beautiful and you could pass time while waiting for him to come around.” James said, trying to distract her from the present. I don't believe I have, James.” Helen replied with a bit of reluctance but accepted his kind gesture. James walked with her out to the garden, where she sat on a stone bench next to six-foot high stone urns filled with trees and vines. “Here.” James handed her his handkerchief. “I'm not crying.” She said, raising her face to meet his. “I know. See it as Grace's beautiful face, do with it to the extent your anger allows.” He said, turning to greet a passer-by. He propped his foot on the

“You seem angry, what's the matter?”“I think she's also in love with him.”“Who's in love with him?”“His secretary, the new one.” Grace said in an angry tone.“Helen?” The voice asked“Yeah, she refused to tell me anything I wanted to know.”“But asides that, there was nothing else that seemed like a hindrance, right?”“Yeah, everything seemed nice and going according to plan.” Grace said, trying to remember everything that happened.“So then it's progress, don't worry much about Helen. She's not a threat at all.”“He invited me for lunch tomorrow. He moves pretty fast.” Grace said, smiling to herself.“Wow, he's really a fast guy. This might be easier than what I expected.”“You were right, he doesn't really have a lot to do with women. Just his secretary and that's all.”“And because he's starved of a woman's love, he's very susceptible and that's where you strike.” The voice giggled in satisfaction.“I want her position already, am I too greedy?” Grace said thoughtfully.“No, it

He didn't even look at her, he kept doing what he was doing.“What are you doing in.my room at this time of the night?”“I'm looking for something.”A long silence followed.

Wherever he is, let him stay there.

Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on.

Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work.
