"Tell me, how?" A curious Natasha asks
"I am tired dear, we will discuss this now. Let's just celebrate this" Gonzalez responded
"Sure, we will" Natasha hugs him again.
"I best take shower" Gonzalez suggested
"You need it, hurry down for I prepared your favorite meal"
"Ooh, I can't wait, I will be down in seconds" Gonzalez promised
As he was in the shower, he thought about all the things that had happened today. Just at the beginning of his day, he had thought the day was over for him before it even began.
And then Mr. Davies, what a life-changing ending to such a bad beginning.
Maybe I should tell Natasha, he thought. No, perhaps he should listen to Mr. Davies on this one, telling Natasha that could wait.
(At the Williams' Residence)"I told you trying to get her to do this would not go down well with her" Mr. Williams chided
"Leave it to me, I will handle it" Mrs. Williams responded
"Of course, you will, you had better" Mr. Williams warned, knowing how much he would lose, all thanks to his wife's stupid decision.
Had she gone through him before signing the documents, they wouldn't be in this mess. Sometimes, he wonders why he had made her a major shareholder in the company.
"Look, I just need more time, I can convince her" Mrs. Williams assured"How?" A now enraged Mr. Williams asked
"I know my daughter, she has lived a life of luxury and surely can't survive with that beggar, she will get tired and eventually leave, I just have to trigger it or push the right button, that's all" Mrs. Williams reassured
"I do not ever want to hear that boy's name in my house ever again. First, he takes my daughter and then my family talks about him all day. Do you want him to take over this home too?" Mr. Williams queried
"God forbid, it is just I cannot imagine how he did it, taking our baby from us under our watch and we were too blind to see it all until it happened"
"Enough of all that small talk. I have to take that call, my phone has been ringing since" Mr. Williams complained
"Yes? What! Oh...okay, thank you so much for the heads up""Who was that?" Mrs. Williams had asked after he was done with the caller
"My source"
"Okay?"
"Okay?" Mr. Williams repeated
"What did he say? You were quite shocked or rather surprised" Mrs. Williams noted
"Yes, surprised it is" Mr. Williams agreed
"Do I have to beg you to tell me? I am your wife" Mrs. Williams complained
"Seeing how much you messed that deal up, I cannot be so sure to let you in on this" Mr. Williams noted
"Oh, come on. And stop bringing this back up as an excuse, I made a mistake, yes, we all make mistakes. Need I remind you of how you handled Norman's contract that landed us in court?" Mrs. Williams retorted
"Woman, you don't have to bring that up" Mr. Williams chided
"Great, I thought so too. I will expect the same from you in my case. Now, tell me what the problem is"
"I would not call it a problem per se, it looks like an alternative to our problems"
"Okay? Let me hear it, come on, fill me in" Mrs. Williams pushed
"Right, there's a new company out there with great opportunities and funds, seeking another company to partner with, a very good one at that" Mr. Williams dropped
"Wow, we have to get that at all costs" Mrs. Williams added
"Yes, but the market is very competitive" Mr. Williams complained
"Yes, but I have been in the market for years now, I think I can handle the market" Mrs. Williams responded
"I will call the children, and see if they have any ideas, want to join me?" Mrs. Williams added
"I would rather not, see you in bed. Can't you wait till tomorrow?" Mr. Williams asked
"No, I want them to sleep on it and wake up with fresh ideas," Mrs. Williams said and she had just the right plan for it.
She thought of telling her husband about it but he would blatantly refuse. Better to handle this on her own and in her way.
(The Gonzalez's Residence)
"Baby, I would marry you a thousand times in this life and the next and any other life I will be in" Mr. Williams commended, relishing his food.Another reason why he had thought marrying Natasha was a blessing, he wished she had decided to be a chef, he would offer to help her build the biggest food restaurant in the city.
"You alright, honey?" Gonzalez asked when he noticed a frown on her face
"Yes, just the family call again, it keeps ringing" Natasha complained
"Go on, pick it up. It might be important you know" Gonzalez encouraged
"Come on, go on. And you don't have to pick it here, I understand" Gonzalez insisted
"Took you long enough" Sylvester chided, he was always the first to complain about things like that. Sometimes, Natasha wonders if they are really of the same blood.
"Some much for being a man" Natasha retorted
Turning to her mother, she says,"Ma, I thought we were done? We finished this discussion earlier"
"No, we didn't. You didn't let me finish" Mrs. Williams answered
"Let you finish? Finish what exactly? What mother would suggest her married daughter abort her child? Every mother's dream is to hold her grandchildren, not abort them. But I guess that isn't your dream now, is it?" An enraged Natasha says
"Of course, it is my dream to hold my grandchildren, your children but not from that boy. Honey, he blackmailed us and is trying to use you to exploit our wealth" Mrs. Elizabeth continued
"That aside, there's a new company seeking a partner, this would solve all our financial issues at the company and perhaps stop your having to abort that baby" Mrs. Williams added
"Glad to see you finally agreed it is a baby" Natasha replied
"What does the person that gets this deal to enjoy?" Sylvester chipped in
"That person becomes the C.E.O of our company" Mrs. Williams dropped.

Sylvester chipped in "That person becomes the C.E.O of our company" Mrs. Williams dropped. "Does daddy know about this?" Natasha asked "He doesn't have to, I will make it work, or rather we will make it work" Mrs. Williams assured "Right, now that I have both of your attention, I will send you both the details of this new company so you can come up with ideas to win us this deal" Mrs. Williams finished. "Are you alright?" Gonzalez asked Natasha after she came back in "You know how I have always wanted my part in the company, I have the chance to do so now but I don't know how to" Natasha complained "Oh? How is that?" Gonzalez asked "There's this new company out there looking for a part
As Mr. Davies walked out, he thought of all the trust Gonzalez had for his wife, one should never trust someone so wholesome and with everything, especially a Williams, he knew that format hand. He had wanted to reveal himself when he heard about Natasha and Gonzalez but he decided against it. He had wanted him to make his own choices. Now that he thought about it, he should have stepped in, perhaps it would have saved him a lot of trouble. With Gonzalez being married to a Williams, how else could he reveal to him that they had a hand in his parent's murder? He thought it best to leave things to the hands of fate, and see how it turns out in the end. Perhaps, their story will be unlike any other. (The Gonzalez's Residence) "Honey, what are you doing at the moment?" Mrs. Williams had asked Natasha when she called her. "I'm trying to get us that deal, is there a problem?" Natasha asks "I have a little surprise for you, perhaps you can come over to the house" Mrs. Williams suggest
"That didn't go well, I suppose" Sylvester commented after Natasha had left "No, it didn't. She is so different from the Natasha I knew" Matthew added "Of course, that poor thing changed her into something not any of us can recognize" Sylvester complained to a nodding, Matthew and Mrs. Williams. "Thank you, Matthew, for at least trying. I will forever remember this" Mrs. Williams said waving Matthew off. "And ma'am, I did not do this for naught, I had hoped that I and Natasha could work" Matthew corrected "Well, looks like it will not. Still, thank you" Mrs. Williams replied and gestured to Sylvester to walk him out. "That definitely didn't go as expected" Sylvester noted when he was back. "Yes, I had other plans in motion should that fail" Mrs. Williams smiled "I'm curious, what is it?" Sylvester asked "Do you doubt me, Sylvester?" Mrs. Williams questioned "No, I have never doubted you" Sylvester jeered "I took photos of them together" Mrs. Williams answered"Yes?" Sylv
"Look piece of advise, there is actually nothing we can do about it now. We can only report a missing person, no, not until after 24 hours. Just go home, pray and wait for her" The cop finished "Alright, thank you for all your help" Gonzalez mocked and left. Gonzalez picked up his phone to dial Mrs. Williams but what could he possibly tell her? Better to wait and see. Gonzalez had slept off on the couch but was awakened by someone shaking him rigorously. "Mrs. Williams!" Gonzalez almost screamed. He was certainly not expecting her. "It is nice to see you too, Gonzalez" Mrs. Williams jeered"I wasn't expecting you" Gonzalez stated "Of course you weren't, how soon you have pushed my daughter to the background" Mrs. Williams said "Excuse me?" A confused Gonzalez had said "I am just wondering how soon you have gone from " we" to "I" yet, you claim to be in love with Natasha" Mrs. Williams explained "How long before you told me? Tell us? My daughter was missing and you didn't thi
"What do these kidnappers want anyways? I have nothing of theirs" "They could be after the money. Or you know this new deal" "The new deal? What about it?" Natasha asks "Well, turns out a lot of people want this partnership deal and will do whatever it takes to take a competition out of the game" "What?" "Yes, it's nothing new. We done that a couple of times, just less dangerous" Mrs. Williams said smiling. "Really mom?" "It's all business, honey." "Can at least call Gonzalez?" Natasha begged "No, dear. The call could be tracked, it's too risky. I am so sorry, but you will see your husband soon" Mrs. Williams assured "You do know I still have to work towards us partnering with G & G right?" Natasha asked "Yes, we will work towards that. Not to forget, you promised me that deal" "I cannot forget that, I will get us that deal, that I am sure of" Natasha assured (Mag's Media Company) "Good morning, ma'am" Carissa started "And what is so good about the morning? Why do I hea
"I know you had said to let you handle this on your own and I respect that but the truth is since the day we found out, I didn't want to let you out of sight so I had people follow you and your wife around..." Mr. Davies explains "Where is she?" Gonzalez interrupted "She has been and is currently at the Williams family residence" Silently and in shock, Gonzalez stands up to his feet. "Are you sure about this information?" He asks turning to Mr. Davies "Sure as anything" Mr. Davies assured "What do you think could have gone wrong? Do you think she is being held against her will?" Gonzalez asked, wanting some form of assuredness that Natasha would not want to run away from him. "I think that she would have made an effort to try to reach you" It is true what they say about love for she will be your biggest weakness and your biggest strength. "What do you suggest I do?" Gonzalez asked, confused "Wait for..." Mr. Davies started "Wait? I know my wife is hiding possibly away from
(The Williams Home) "Ma, I am not comfortable sitting here all day, laying around. It's not going to help me win the contract" Natasha complained "Well, didn't you say you know the CEO of the company?" Mrs. Williams asked "I did say that" Natasha agreed"Then getting this contract should be a walkover for you, right Sylvester?" Mrs. Williams asked turning to Sylvester "I know him doesn't mean I shouldn't work hard for it" Natasha explained "Oh, it's easier then. It's a he" Mrs. Williams admonished smiling "I can take it from here if this is too much for you to handle. I am sure I can get us the contract as well" Sylvester chipped in "What are you all gibbering about when Gonzalez is trending in the news?" Mr. Williams yelled "Why is he trending?" A fearful Natasha asked "For only the wrong reasons of course," Mrs. Williams giggled, tapping her phone "Let me see that," Natasha says and she rushed over to where her mother was "Oh my God, this is not good. I need to see Gonza
(The Gonzalez's Home) "I'm sorry you had to have that encounter with my mum. Terrible as it is, I must admit that she isn't the best mother. I am ashamed to admit that I never thought of it like that, I had no idea I was being fooled, I easily believed anything that I was told" Natasha admitted "Honey, I have told you times without a number to stop apologizing. She is your mother, how were you supposed to know? I wouldn't know too, I mean Id didn't know until she visited me. Mr. Davies confirmed it" Gonzalez replied "Mr. Davies? Who is he?" Natasha inquired "Oh, my boss at the new company. See, then out he has eyes all around the city" Gonzalez explained "And should we not be scared?" Natasha asked, worried "Sacred? No" "You can't be so sure about someone who has eyes all over the city" Natasha warned "I promise you, he is not like that. We are Gonzalez assured, trying to encourage Natasha and avoid negative thoughts "Speaking of which, how is work going? And what's it with a
