"How did you know that?” Nash suddenly asked, frowning. “So you admit to doing so?” Sarah shot back at him. “That fool, Ethan Banks, was here only moments ago and he told me so. Why in God's name did you take the entire file?” Sarah asked angrily. Nash rubbed his chin, “I guess my guy was a little too overzealous with the job but that shouldn't be a problem. It could be anyone who took it. He's got no proof!” Sarah hesitated for a second before responding, “I guess you are right. He must have discovered the missing Project Nine documents and decided to make it look like he's still got something on me.” “Kudos on the social media post by the way!” Sarah added, smiling. “Hahaha….I thought I make things public. I'm sure that's why the jackass came to try his luck. He's seen that he's got no choice. I bet he's licking his bruised ego as we speak.” Nash chuckled. Sarah smiled deviously, “I hope you are making all the necessary preparations. I want a small but colorful wedding!” Nash

Nash and his mother had started shopping in earnest for the wedding. Both mother and son were seen looking through several wedding dresses at a prestigious bridal shop. “Son, what do you think about this one?” Mrs. Barrington asked her son. Since Sarah had given them Loretta's measurements, they knew what would fit her. “I think it would bring out her curves perfectly well!” Nash grinned. Mrs. Barrington laughed loudly, “We will take this!” She announced, gesturing at the wedding dress that Nash had approved of. Meanwhile, at the Lopez family estate, Sarah was seen looking down at Loretta and Samantha. “Shouldn't you be shopping with Nash and his mother for your wedding?” Sarah asked when she saw Loretta and Samantha playing a game of chess. Loretta had decided to take a few days off work since the wedding was just around the corner. She has finally lost the will to fight it anymore, though her attitude towards the arrangement remained the same. “You might as well do the shop

Suddenly his phone buzzed. It was a message from Sarah! Nash frowned, as he read the message. He quickly grabbed his car keys and walked out of the door. Nash raced to the Lopez family estate. And as he tapped on the door, a maid quickly let him in. “What? What is going on here?” Nash chuckled excitedly when he saw his friends and family members including his parents gathered in one of the massive living rooms of the Lopez family. They all appeared just as excited to see him but his question surprised them. “Why do you look so surprised to see us, son?” His father asked. “Didn't you ask us to meet you here for a big surprise?” his mother finished off his father's statement. Nash frowned, suspecting foul play from his parents. “Yes Nash, we all got the same message from you,” his friends concurred with his parents. “What do you guys mean? Dad, and Mom, weren't you both away on a business trip? So how come you are both here?” Nash asked, chuckling. “Oh, come on, son. Didn't y

Sarah froze instantly as soon as she heard the sound of her voice coming out of Ethan's phone. Her mind quickly raced back to the day Ethan asked her about the Project Nine documents. She gritted her teeth, “You bastard! You set us up!” Maurice instantly pulled away from her. “What have you done?” He asked her with a pained expression on his face. “Baby….” “Don't you dare!” Maurice yelled at her, cutting her off instantly. “And you! So you were responsible for what happened to our company? And I was about to give my daughter to you?” Maurice gritted his teeth as he spoke to Nash. “Mr. Maurice, do you remember the Project Nine expansion deal?” Ethan suddenly asked Maurice. “Yes, I do, but what has it got to do with anything!” Maurice responded. Ethan smiled as he glared at Nash's parents, “Don’t you both think you've indulged this lunatic you call your son, enough?” Nash's parents froze instantly when they heard Ethan's question. “What….. What did you say to me?” Nash's fath

As he glared at the screen, his eyes widened in shock. “What is this?” Maurice asked Sarah, flashing his phone in front of her. Sarah glared at his phone and froze. “How….How…That's not possible. All the records…they were destroyed. How did you get this?” Sarah asked in disbelief. Ethan smiled mischievously before turning to Loretta, “Do you remember our last project design before the attack?” Loretta wiped the tears from her face before nodding, “That was an advanced cloud storage, one that became fully operational before the attack!” Nash's eyes widened in shock. Ethan had been ahead of them all along! Loretta though surprised, was too overwhelmed to show it. “All our files were already backed up before the attack, so we lost nothing!” Ethan added. Maurice's legs suddenly quivered and he fell to the ground in tears. He had loved Sarah so much after the death of Loretta's mother and had given her everything that a husband could give to his wife, yet this was how she chose t

"I won't take no for an answer, son! The company won't close down because our hardworking head of operations took a week off. I'm sure you have capable hands that could manage things while you are away. Here are your first-class tickets!” Ian quickly cut Ethan off before he could finish speaking. And almost instantly, both Loretta and Samantha walked into the office. “Ahh….there they are. Now, you three should have fun!” Ian smiled as both he and Maurice hugged the girls before leaving. Ethan stared blankly at the plane tickets in his hands and smiled to himself. Both Loretta and Samantha wore dark sunglasses to hide their swollen faces. Their faces had swollen from all the tears they had shed in the two days. Ethan walked towards both ladies and took them both into his arms. They both suddenly began to cry as the pain of Sarah's betrayal still lingered in their hearts. “Perhaps your father and grandfather were right. You both really need some time away from all these. Come on,

"Yes, you did!” They both responded in unison, bursting into laughter immediately as they stared at each other before exploring the apartment. Ethan's phone suddenly began to ring. It was Ian! “Hello son, how was your flight?” Ian's rich voice could be heard over the phone. “It was great, Mr. Lopez. We are at the apartment.” Ethan responded. “Beautiful! I hope you like it. I had the building manager reorganize it before you got there.” “Thank you, Mr. Lopez, it's perfect,” Ethan smiled, though he sensed that something was on Ian's mind. “Is everything all right, Mr. Lopez?” Ethan suddenly asked. There was a small sigh from the other end of the line, “I’m a bit concerned about the girls, how are they?” Ethan glanced in the direction of Loretta and Samantha who were busy checking out the rooms. “They are great, Mr. Lopez but I have the feeling that they aren't the only reason why you are this worried,” Ethan responded gently. Ian chuckled slightly, “You are very perceptive, Mr

Ethan had just finished speaking with Olivia over the phone. He, Loretta, and Samantha had taken a stroll around the neighborhood and were returning when he received the call from Olivia, so the girls went ahead of him. “Hey girls, you both look so gorgeous, why don't you join us over here, we are having a private party,” a young man in his early twenties was seen glaring at Loretta and Samantha. “Thanks but we'll pass!” Samantha simply responded as she brought out the key card to open the apartment's door. “Wrong answer sweetheart,” another fellow stepped out, responding to Samantha's remark. “You must be new here, so I'll permit your response just this once. You see girls, our father owns this beautiful building and as such we own you and everyone else living here, so when we tell you to jump, your response should be ‘How high' got it?” Loretta shook her head, “Since when is that a thing? Your father owns the building, and so what? Like my sister just told you, we are not inter
