"Bryan, do you even realize what you've just done? I don't understand what's running in your mind to do speak that, why exactly did you give that suggestion?" Stacy demanded an answer, with a sharp voice filled with frustration as she stood in front of Bryan. Ronald was waiting for them in the room, but as soon as they returned, Stacy started demanding an answer from Bryan to which Ronald sighed, thinking Bryan has done something again, "What did this guy do now?"

Stacy recounted the entire conversation that had taken place in the living room from the beginning to end. Ronald shook his head in disbelief that Bryan has done exactly as he feared, "Bryan, are you sane or just crazy, dude? Why are you letting that guy out of his room, when you know this is the great opportunity for you? Don’t you realize things will go back to normal just like in the past? I thought you knew about this more than anyone else, if he were to start wandering around the house instead of being locked in the roo

    "Enough!" It's none other than Nancy who shouted while walking towards them. "What's going on here? Why are you all making fuss over nothing? It's my pet that died, not any of yours. It’s just a cat, and it's dead. There's no need for this kind of nuisance over a dead cat," she said, her voice heavy with pain though she is trying her best to act strong. Turning to the maid, she said in a fierce tone, "Just take the body and throw it away."With that, Nancy walked away from there holding back the tears in the eyes, leaving the others to be stunned by her actions and words. Neil who was there throughout the time can't help but to feel sad over things happened, "Didn’t you all hear her? Clear this place," he ordered walking inside.Josephine who had carefully planned to create a drama and to blame Bryan left with no choice but to retreat inside, taking Jake with her in disappointment as Nancy poured water on her dreams with her words.

    "Overheard? What exactly did you hear, and first of all, why are you panicking like this? Is something serious?" Bryan couldn't help but to be concerned looking at Ronald's worried face, "calm down, take a deep breath and speak what exactly you've heard! There's no rush, we aren't going anywhere either.""I was on my way to find you both since you both didn't returned back yet, and then I overheard your mom talking to the maid, suspecting something must be wrong, I tried to hear more, just then I got to know that, they’re plotting against you Bryan," Ronald replied, still trying hard to catch his breath."Plotting against him?" Stacy asked, with voice full of confusion.Ronald nodded, then explained everything he had overheard, leaving both Bryan and Stacy surprised. "Did you see the maid?" Bryan asked trying to be curious about the maid plotting along with Josephine."Yeah, I saw her, she is the one who has been standing with your mother in the morning," Ronald confirmed trying to a

    Bryan nodded, trying to look more confident maintaining his strong composure. "Thank you, Grandma," he replied softly, pulling back from the hug and glanced at the people in front of him.Neil stood at the center of the room, as his posture looked rigid while his expressions were unpredictable. Josephine was standing right beside him, her eyes constantly glancing at Jake, who is standing in a corner not daring to come in front of everyone because of commotion in the previous party.Bryan also glanced at Jake with a visible hatred in his gaze, Jake the favourite child and the adopted son who had stolen everything. The boy who had taken not only his family’s love but also his fiancee, had driven him to his death in his previous life. And now, here he was, sulking in the shadows, watching as Bryan stepped back into the spotlight which used to be his.

    "What the!" Bryan said, glancing around the room, searching for the waiter who had handed him the glass with note. But the man had disappeared in thin air as if he wasn't present there from the beginning. It suddenly hit Bryan that the man wasn’t one of the regular house staff, since Bryan remembered faces of each and every single person who works in the house. Bryan couldn't understand anything at that moment but the only person he thought about at that moment was John, he searched for John throughout the place, finally finding him, Bryan went straight to him with a question hoping he would know something as a butler, "Mr. John, did you hire extra workers to serve at tonight's party?" John nodded, but looked concerned by Bryan's expression. "Yes, young master. I brought a few extra workers since we have so many guests arriving today. The regular staff aren't enough to serve all, since the amount of guests are more. Is there any problem with those staff? Did they offend you, young m

    "Jake’s room?" Bryan asked in a surprised tone not understanding why something like this would be found in Jake's room.The maid nodded confidently, but Bryan hesitated, being unsure whether to take the information seriously or to think of this information is to mislead him. More importantly, he began to suspect the maid's intentions, as he can't help but to question within himself "why did she come to come out of all people in the house just to share this information? What is she trying to do by giving this information to me?" His mind raced as he thoroughly checked the area to make sure no one else was around.Still baffling with many thoughts, Bryan said, "One second," and stepped aside, sending a quick message to Stacy, asking her to come out immediately. Looking at Stacy coming towards them, the maid became nervous, as she hid the fork behind her back. Bryan crossed his arms, questioning her. "Why are you hiding it?""Hiding?" Stacy asked standing beside him, Bryan explained ev

    "Yeah, you heard me so well," Nancy said with a teasing smirk aiming at Bryan. "Just call me sister, and I'll kick her out right now and she'll not cause trouble for you again, so easy, what do you think of it?" Bryan kept his lips tightly sealed, as he is reluctant to do as Nancy wanted.Stacy pointed at him knowing he is reluctant to call Nancy as sister, "You don’t know about him, like I do. He’s as stubborn as a bull, so just leave him to me, I need to give two strong kicks to him today." Nancy raised her eyebrows, looking at Bryan trying to tease him, "What do you want me to do? You can see, she is too eager to beat, do you want my help or not?" Bryan sighed deeply, clearly being frustrated by her threatening rather than helping him, "Is everyone in this house crazy?" Nancy chuckled at his words, "We are family Bryan, of course we are similar and you're just as crazy as the rest of us, so don't act innocent."The group laughed softly at Nancy's explanation, but Stacy waved he

    "What the meaning of this?" Bryan felt inwardly, but not wasting anytime, he left the room, and as he was on his way to leave the floor, he was caught by Jake.Without letting him to notice, Bryan hid the piece in his pocket, Jake frowned, "what are you doing here?" "Why should I answer to you?" Bryan crossed his arms, clenching his fist, Jake sighed, "Bryan, don't push your luck too much."

    "Grandma?" Bryan said with a small smile getting up from the chair, "I’m just going through these, nothing important, why are you here anyway grandma? Do you want anything?" "No dear," Alicia tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling with affection, as she looked at Bryan who resembles her late husband, "You’re just like your grandfather, always diving into work. Too much, if you ask me, unlike your father, who is so lazy to work." Bryan chuckled softly, "Working keeps me focused grandma! I don't like being lazy." "I can understand," she walked over close to him and looked around only to the find many records on the table, "You must've been so busy while looking into these, aren't you?" Bryan scratched his head with a forced smile, "Well, you can say that grandma!" "My dear, you shouldn't push yourself more than necessary," Alicia's expression turned serious for a moment. "I don’t know what’s been happening in this house lately, Bryan, but all I want is for you to stay safe,

    SOMETHING CONSPIRACY

    "Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?" With a curiosity, he

    "Sure, I can," Stacy said and took the file, as she checked the details, apart from very minimalistic nothing else found, "Bryan, if you don't mind, can I ask who is this man? If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition." Stacy frowned in deep thought. "

    "These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton

    "Mother," Josephine spoke in a low tone, "you know whatever I do, it is for this family, I've been in this house for so long serving as his wife and your daughter-in-law, I built the reputation of this family along with my husband, how can you say this to me when I was also a part of the glory now winterwood family enjoying?"Alicia snapped at her, "glory? You brought nothing but shame, don't forget how you became the daughter-in-law of this family, from that day till now, there's nothing but humiliation and insults surrounding this family." Josephine opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Bryan finally stepped forward, "Grandma, right now, I don't think it's important for us to discuss the past." Everyone turned to him, with a curious and surprised expression trying to know what he is trying to do, as they're not sure why Bryan is helping Josephine who treats him nothing but as an enemy."Bryan, this is none of your concern," Neil said sharply. "I advise you to stay out

    "So, are you pitying me?" Bryan asked making Ronald to smile, "not once but thrice, because you'll be one's husband and forever brother to two sisters, I think sister Stacy is also one of them, so not even thrice but four times I pity on you." Bryan rolled his eyes, Mia who glanced at Ronald and Bryan speaking to eachother just frowned, when Ronald looked at her, she immediately turned her face away."Why is she angry with you?" Bryan who observed the fierce reaction of Mia, asked Ronald, but he just lied, "I don't know." At the sametime, Stacy came with a smile, "everything is done, we can go home now." Bryan held Mirabel's hand, "I want to take you home, but this isn't the right time Mira, so...." "Come on prince, did I ever blame you for anything?" Mirabel gently hugged him, "I'll go back to dorm, don't forget to give a call when you reach home." Bryan nodded, she gave a kiss on his forehead, "take medicine well, you need good rest too, don't stress and don't overwork, it's no

    'If you ever tarnish this family’s name again," Mr. Wilson continued, with a cold voice, "I will cut you off entirely from this family, no more money, no more support, no more anything. You’ll be on your own, do you understand me?"Tracy nodded slowly, her lower lip trembling. "I understand," she whispered .Her mother folded her arms, her expression still harsh but slightly softened, as after all Tracy is their only daughter whom they loved and cherished a lot."Good, and as for the Winterwoods, we’ll be distancing ourselves from them for a while. After what you’ve done, I don’t want to see or hear their name in this house," those words from her mother left Tracy to be heartbroken.Tracy’s head shot up, panic flashing in her eyes. "No, please! Don’t do that! I—I’ll fix this! I’ll apologize to Bryan, to everyone, and I'm sure Bryan will believe in me, he'll forgive me, I'm the only friend he had, so give me a chance to apologize to Bryan."
