"Don't leave me, Mom" her words triggered a memory for Bryan, taking him back to the time when he was sick and all he wanted was his mother by his side. He had begged her in a similar way, "Please, Mom, stay by my side, don't leave me" but she had left the room to read a bedtime story to her adopted son, leaving Bryan alone with his sickness and nightmares.

Now, hearing those words from the girl in front of him, reminded Bryan of his own pain, he looked at her pitiful face and said to Ronald, "You go back to the room, I'll stay here."

"Aren't you the one who wanted to leave?" Ronald looked surprised by the words of Bryan until that moment he was annoyed and wanted to leave, but strangely he changed his mind.

Bryan shook his head since he no longer sticks to his earlier intentions, "I've changed my mind, let me stay here till the morning."

Ronald smiled understanding Bryan's heart, "then let's both stay here only," Bryan nodded, pulling a chair close to the bed, while Ronald took anot

Have you settled well in campus?" John asked, being concerned about Bryan settling in the campus since he did everything by himself with none to help him.Bryan reassured him along with being hesitant to talk about another matter, "Everything's fine, actually I called you to ask about something at home."John smiled understanding Bryan's hesitation, "What is it, young master?

How is happiness and hunger connected, dude?"Bryan rolled his eyes, "You wouldn't understand even if I explained it," Ronald was puzzled by Bryan's fluctuating moods, being happy one moment and disturbed in the next moment, but he was relieved to see Bryan in a good mood now, "fine, give me five minutes, I'll get dressed up and come."

So Bryan was never lying when he said he was innocent and getting framed for things he has never done, why didn't I ever think about this?"

I thought you went back to your room after our conversation in the living room," Stacy quickly calmed herself, hiding her nervousness, lying effortlessly, "I was here to talk with Jake, but mom was already talking to him, so I was waiting for their conversation to end, that's all.""There's no need for you to wait outside, come in," Josephine invited with a smile, just when

    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

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

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."

    '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."
