CHAPTER 16: PLAYING WITH FIREAn hour before the meeting, Jack who is sitting in a wheelchair eyed his youngest son– Titus, who was sitting on the couch, with his usual bored expression. “Is something bothering you son?”Titus looked at him– his eyes were like Gabriela which reminded him of her. “I’m fine,” Titus answered. Jack sigh and looks at Michael standing beside him. He knew Titus never approved of his decision to take Michael back. The door opened and Michael’s secretary walked inside. “The boards are ready,” The woman said, Kevin immediately went towards Jack’s back and held his wheelchair, firmly before pushing it towards the door. Titus followed them, while beside him was Michael.They went to the room, led by Michael’s assistant and their bodyguards. The door opened and they immediately went inside– as planned, Alonsos was also there, sitting with the boards and there was also Sol, wearing a fitted dress, looking different with her dark red lipstick and curly hair.The
CHAPTER 17: CONFLICTS“You know what to do, you better do it right this time,” Morgan said, the man in front of him who is grinning. “When did I let you down, Morgan?” Keizt said.“Visiting time is up! Time to go, Anderson,” The warden shouted, tapping the door that they are in. He stands up from the chair, and Keizt salutes to him before turning his back in his thought Morgan always plays it dirty, it was never new to him, and even though they grew up together he still can’t tell how Morgan plays the situation.He went to his car and immediately turned on the car’s engine, leaving the place.“Son,” Jack Anderson said, he looks at his father while his attention was still on the papers he is reading. “Yes, Father?” He said, he decided to stop what he is doing and give his attention to his father. He is against the idea of his father letting go of Arman and his ex-wife– Leonora, he can’t do something about it, he has to let them go but keep an eye on them in case they do something that
Chapter 18: WorriesIt was a rainy afternoon, Titus gripped his robe tightly as he stares out the window, he glance at his table, smoking coffee was there in a white cup, together with a few pieces of bread and peanut butter. He sighs heavily and reaches for the cup.He heard Kevin mumbling. “Boss,” Kevin called, he glance at him and back to the window. “Your brother bailed,” Kevin added, his jaw tightened and he walk towards the couch. “Did he?” He asked, Kevin, nodded his head. “Alright,” he just said, he knows that he will soon get out and he had plans. “You did what I asked you to do right?” Titus asked, Kevin, nodded his head. He sip his coffee and leaned on the couch. “Then we are good,” Titus said.If Morgan will take the bait, the plan will be successful but he should take it no matter what.“Sol,” Louise whispered— Louise is her cousin from her mother’s side. Curly hair, fair skin, and pinkish lips definitely look like a doll. “Yes,” Sol responded, Louise, look hesitant abou
CHAPTER 19: DANGEROUS GAME“Are you, Sol Marie?” Morgan asked the woman sitting in a cafe, wearing a hoody covering her face while peacefully drinking her coffee. The woman looks at him, brows ceased. “Who are you?” Sol asked, Morgan, grinned– just as he expected she was the woman his half-brother loved, she was pretty but not seductive. He titled his neck and looks at her for a few seconds before speaking.“You don’t need to know who I am– for now, nice meeting you,” Morgan said and left the table, Sol’s face showed confusion because of the man who talked to her, weird as she thought that some random man sat in front of her and asked if she’s Sol. “That’s weird,” She muttered and shake her head, he grab the cup of her coffee and left the place, she drove back to her apartment she never went to see her mother because they will only argue about her mother’s demands to get Tyron back but for what? She sighed heavily as she swiped her card to open the door of her apartment. She twisted
CHAPTER 20: Switched Places“You know it’s dangerous,” Louise said, trying to tone down her voice while she is glancing at Sol’s parents, Sol sighed heavily. Somehow a part of her is saying that she should just ignore Tyron’s offer yet she’s thinking that maybe this will solve everything and she’s hoping he would keep his deal open after she thinks of an answer. “I know,” Sol said and she sighed heavily playing with the tip of her cup. “But you know, I have no choice, all I need to do is provide him an heir and the hotel will be mine again,” She added almost whispering, Louise heavily sighed and looks at her with pity. “Don’t look at me like that,” Sol said and looks away. She knew that once she agree to Tyron’s offer she’s his slave. “Don’t come at me saying that I am right,” Louise said rolling her eyes. She knows that this could backfire on her and might slap her face for dreaming something more. She scoffs at her own thoughts and looks at her mother pacing back and forth while t
CHAPTER 21: The Beginning “Are you going to stand there all night?” Titus asked Sol, she seemed hesitant but stepped forward and looked at him. If this was before he would pull her closer and kissed her senselessly but everything has changed, he’s not the man he was before. Titus watched Sol walk towards the couch, fidgeting with her fingers. Sol slowly sat on the single couch while her head bowed down. He leaned on the wall and looks at her, Kevin entered the room and gave him the contract. He nodded his head and Kevin smiled at Sol before leaving them.“Read this,” Titus said as he walk towards her, holding the folder in his hand and gave it to Sol.“What is this?” Sol asked, he sat on the couch and leaned there comfortably. “Contract,” He simply said. “Read it, and let me know if you have some requests, I don’t to be too cruel,” He said and smiled fakely at her. She opened the folder and read the words that were written on the paper that she was holding. “A boy heir?” she asked,
CHAPTER 22: CASSANDRA“Cassandra, what- what are you doing here?” He said, the woman walk towards him giving him a kiss on his lips. “Surprise!” She yelled and giggled. “Aren’t you happy to see me here?” Cassandra said and pouted her lips.“Who is she?” Kevin asked and tilted his head, shocked by what just happened. “Hi! My name is Cassandra, Tyron’s girlfriend,” The woman introduced herself, Kevin accepted her hands and shook them lightly, Cassandra clapped her hands and looked at Tyron as she cling her hands in Tyron’s arms. “I missed you!” She said and leaned her head on his shoulder. Cassandra— the woman who left him to study abroad, no calls, no texts damn not even emails for three years and now, she’s back like nothing happened. He faced her and held her shoulders lightly. “We have a meeting, you can wait for me in my office,” He said lightly, trying not to stir any drama. She smiled and looks at him and Kevin. “Alright,” She said and kissed him on his cheeks, he looked at Kevi
CHAPTER 23: FEELING I NEVER HADTitus's hands are sweating. He can feel his stomach and heart is like crumbling inside. He sighed heavily and smiled a little when he saw Cassandra entering the private room that they reserved somewhere. Behind Cassandra is a woman carrying a boy. He cleared his throat and stood up from his chair and looks at the boy that the woman was carrying.When they are near him, he smiled and tilt his head. “Is he–,” He asked Cassandra, she smiled and nod her head, Cassandra turned his head around and looks at the woman behind her nodding her head and giving a go signal, the woman stepped forward and handed him the little boy. Titus’s feeling something different and it’s a good different, something that can make a heart flutter, he stares at the little boy’s eyes, and he can see himself by just looking at the young boy’s eyes. “H-he looks like me,” He whispered, the little boy’s eyes named Gabriel resembles his. Little hands on his face as if it was familiarizin
