“What, honey?” Samantha asked with her eyes a bit wide open as different thoughts ran through her mind at that moment.

“I said you should guess,” Eric replied, tilting his head away for a moment, bringing it back to focus on his wife, who made a scrunching face as if she were thinking of what next to say.

“You got a job offer?” She asked in a low tone as she looked directly into his eyes, waiting anxiously for him to talk, but he shook his head slowly, lowering it momentarily.

“That's close. Try again.” He said, and she heaved a heavy sigh, making a scrunching face again as she thought for a moment before scoffing.

“I don't know. You know I am bad at guessing.” She said, and Eric inhaled deeply with a smile on his face, clearing his throat for a moment before he talked.

“Okay. You got a job offer.” Eric said, and her eyes went wide open as she heard what he had just said. She could not hide the excitement on her face as she leaned forward from the couch.

“Are you for real?” She asked,

    Michael went back to the house, but unfortunately, he met the house already locked, and his mind suddenly wandered off to Darius. He was extremely furious and frustrated, especially after being humiliated by the person he thought was going to worship him like a god. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the door of the house, thinking of what next to do, but nothing was coming forth to his head. Eric's words reverberated in his mind and he felt like beating the hell out of him. “I have never seen a poor man so arrogant like this before in my life.” He whispered to himself as he thought of a way to go about the business deal.“There is no way I am letting this opportunity pass me by.” He said to himself as he came off the door and walked away. His phone suddenly buzzed, and he heaved a sigh, hoping that it was not Lydia who was calling. He checked to see that it was his mom and he hissed, placing his phone back into his pocket as he continued to walk. He then suddenly recalled that he

    “I have been trying to call you back after the first call, but you did not pick up,” Michael said as he heaved a sigh, sitting down in front of Lydia, who was sipping a drink.“And I am sorry for the outburst over the phone. I promise that was not for you at all.” He added immediately, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. She heaved a sigh as she tilted her head to give him a straight stare for a moment before she cleaned her throat to talk.“Who was it for then?” She asked, and he lowered his head for a moment, trying to think of what to say to her. “Never mind, but just know that I was not talking to you. I ignored the person's call a first and your call came in immediately, so I thought it was the person. That was why I spoke in such a harsh tone.” He said slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them.“Back to why I called you here. Did you get his signature?” She asked, and he heaved a heavy sigh of frustration as he did not know how to explain to her that Eric wa

    “I had no idea that the house had been seized.” She said, and Michael heaved a sigh, tilting his head away for a moment before he talked.“And I told you to stop talking ill about my husband.” She added quickly as if his words just reverberated in her mind.“Oh, I am going to say anything I wish to say about him. Tell me how a puppet like him would decline a deal of such a whooping amount.” He blasted and Samantha remained quiet for a moment as she did not know what to tell him.“Perhaps you should try to focus on your life and leave us alone. You might just find out that paying greater attention to your life than the life of others allows you enough time to get things together.” She said and took a pause to get a reply, but he was dumbfounded as he could not utter a single word in response to what she had said.“Anyway, I just called to ask if you guys were able to meet his deadline. But I did not know that it had gone to this extent. I hope you get where to stay.” She said and hung

    “Wake up Samantha!” Eric said slightly as she slowly tapped on her shoulder. She turned slowly, opening her eyes reluctantly as she glanced at her husband for a moment.“What is the time?” She asked in her sleepy voice as her eyes were still heavy as if she were still feeling sleepy.“It's 7:30 in the morning. You don't want to be late for your interview.” She said, and immediately she heard what he said, her eyes went wide open. She sat up immediately on the bed and her gaze focused on him, thinking deeply about something.“Is it today?” She asked abruptly, and he nodded his head swiftly. She heaved a sigh of disappointment, and she lowered her head, wiping her face with her palm and taking a deep breath. “Now I will have to meet that son of a …” She thought as she reluctantly stood up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. Not long after, she came out of the bathroom and started to get ready. She got dressed picked out a few of her documents and walked to the sitting room to chec

    “Look who is here!” Bryan said with a beam of smile on his face as he focused his gaze on Samantha. She looked away for a moment, trying to avoid his eye contact. “Oh come on. Why are you being all dramatic? Do you know what I had to do to get you this job?” He said, and Samantha shot him a wild stare momentarily before she talked.“So it was you?” She said slowly, as if she were counting her words as she said it.“I knew it was no coincidence. I mistakenly showed up here one day for an interview when there was no vacancy and suddenly, there was a vacancy the next day, and here I am.” She added quickly, expressing disgust on her face as she looked at him directly into the eyes.“Like I said, you don't have to be all that dramatic about it.” He said, and Samantha kept mute, not uttering a single word. “Why are you mute suddenly?” He asked after a moment of silence, and she inhaled deeply, tilting her head to look at him before talking.“What do you want me to say?” She asked him, and

    Michael woke up, opening his eyes slowly as he tilted his head around. Realizing that he was in a new place, he sat up quickly on the bed and let out a heavy breath as he pressed his fingers against his eyes. “I hate this feeling.” He whispered as he slowly wiped his face with his palm, taking it back to pat his hair gently. He checked for his phone to see the time, and his eyes went wide as he saw that time was far spent. He quickly got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom to take his bath.As he walked into the bathroom, he could not help but stop and look at his reflection in the mirror. He heaved a sigh as he leaned forward, holding his eyes with his two index fingers and opening it wide enough to see the whole eyeball. He did it for the second eye and scoffed, and he noticed that there were changes to it. “Eric and Darius did this to me.” He whispered as he only took a deep breath, and rushed over to the shower as he remembered that he had eaten much time into the day a

    The alarm went off suddenly, jolting Eric and his wife from sleep. Samantha slowly opened her eyes as she heaved a sigh, rolling to the other side of the bed. Eric slowly stretched his arms to reach the table alarm, stopping the loud noise that came from it. He heaved a sigh as he slowly sat up, tilting his head slowly to look at his wife, who still seemed to be sleepy. He slowly tapped her on the shoulder, and she raised her head slightly to look at him, giving him a pale look for a moment before she talked.“Good morning darling.” She greeted, and he gave a nod, yawning before he talked.“How was your night angel?” He asked, and she nodded, heaving a sigh as she slowly sat up on the bed. Eric got out of the bed. “It was fine, baby. I hope I am not late for work?” She asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and they chuckled. She took a deep breath, as she got up from the bed. “Not actually, I adjusted the alarm yesterday, and it woke us up two hours to the time you will resume w

    “I said meet me in my office,” Bryan shouted from afar, jolting her from her reverie, as she quickly tilted her head to look at him. A frown suddenly appeared on her face as she heaved a heavy sigh before walking slowly toward the elevator. Bryan got on the elevator, hoping that she would join him in it, but she deliberately waited for him to go up first before she found her on the third floor to meet him in his office. She heaved a heavy sigh, trying not to frown again before she knocked on the door and waited for a response.“Come in.” She heard him say, and she opened the door immediately, walking slowly towards him. He focused on his computer screen, not minding her presence. “I am here,” Samantha said in a sharp tone bad she was tired of the silence. He heaved a sigh as he spoke, and tilted his head to look at her.“I know you are here already. I am not blind.” He said, and she could not help but scoff lowly, tilting her head away from him. “I came to work here, why is he then t

    Their gaze fell on Samantha as she walked rapidly with a smile on her face as she walked towards Eric, who looked away from her as he wanted to act like he was angry at her. She chuckled lightly, and she sat on the couch beside him, heaving a sigh before she talked.“I am so sorry for getting you worried. When I just received the call from him, and he asked me to come over, I didn't know what to do. I had wanted to tell you, but he had instructed me not to tell you.” She explained and at this point, Lydia was already smiling.“You got us all worried. But I am glad that you are alright.” Lydia talked even before Eric could talk, and they both tilted their heads to look at her. Samantha smiled slightly before she inhaled deeply, clearing her throat to talk.“I honestly did not mean to put you all through such position. I apologize for that.” Samantha pleaded, and then there was a moment of silence before Eric cleared his throat slightly, tilting his head to see the expression on Samanth

    “It's Emily.” Her voice echoed and Eric quickly drew his face into a puzzle as he looked at her before she picked up the call and placed it over her ear to talk to Emily. Eric looked away from her as different thoughts ran through his mind. Just then, he tilted his head back to look at Lydia, who was still talking to Emily over the phone.“Where are you now?” Lydia asked and then tilted her head to look at Eric, who was looking directly into her eyes for a moment before she brought the phone off her ear to place the call on the loudspeaker.“On my way out of my house, I met someone in front of my doorstep. He is not letting me leave the house. Have you arrived at Master Eric's house?” She talked rapidly, and Eric slowly took his gaze away as different thoughts ran through his mind. “What was she talking about?” He asked himself.“Yes. I got here not long ago. I thought that I was going to meet you here, but the reverse was the case. Who is that person that is holding you from reaching

    Lydia and Emily coming to the mansion

    “That's very true. But at least, I should have gotten a hint that she was going out. Even if she did not tell me that she was coming to your place. Do you know how worried I was?” Eric asked in a sharp tone as he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.“Well, sorry you had to go through all those worries. I am done actually with her, and she will be back to your pace very soon.” He said, and Eric inhaled deeply as he looked to expel his anger and talk in a calm tone. He stood up from the bed and just as he was about to talk, a knock came in on the door, and he turned around to walk to the door.“Okay. I will be waiting for her.” He heaved a sigh as he walked to the door to get the door. As he tilted the doorknob, his gaze fell on the maid who brought his food to him, and he opened the door widely for her to bring the food inside the room. “Thank you. Is this for me and my wife?” He could not help but ask as he looked at her in the eyes, and she looked away before she nodded her head slowly be

    Asked her to come

    Eric woke up to the buzzing sound of his phone, and he opened his eyes slowly to check who was calling him. As he looked around for his phone, he noticed that Samantha was not in bed with him, and it made him draw a puzzled face as he wondered where she could be at that point in time. Not minding that his phone was ringing, he sat up slowly on the bed and rubbed his palm over his face as he thought deeply, about where she might be. A thought popped up in his mind and he tilted his head immediately to look at the bathroom, but there was no sign at all that she was there.“Samantha!” He yelled out and waited to see if he would get any response, but he did not get any. He gradually came off the bed, heaving a sigh as he tossed his phone on the bed before walking towards the bathroom to check.“Samantha!” He called lowly as he walked inside the bathroom and looked everywhere but could not find her. “Where is she?” He asked himself as he quickly walked out of the room and headed out to lo

    “How did you know that?” Samantha asked with a frown on her face, but Eric kept tapping her gently to maintain calmness so that Rachael could go on with what she was saying.“Someone told me about it. I would not say the name of the person for some reason.” She raised her head to look at her daughter and then at Eric for a moment before she inhaled deeply to talk.“I know, you probably don't ever want to have anything to do with me, but I just want you to let me clear my mind and make things right.” “There is nothing to make a right, mom. You already made your mark and you stood by it.” Samantha chipped in immediately, tilting her head to look at her husband for a moment before she exhaled deeply.“Sam, I told you to calm down. Just let her finish what she has to say.” Eric tilted his head back to look at Rachael before he talked to her.“You can go on.” Eric's voice echoed, and Rachael made a sign to thank him. She inhaled deeply before she continued to talk.“As I was saying, I kno

    Samantha brought the phone off her ear quickly to end the call. Her heart began to beat erratically as she did not know what was going on with her mother. She took in several deep breaths to calm her racing heart, but it only got was. She constantly checked her phone to see if her mother had sent the address to her, but she had not sent it. Eric noticed how perturbed she was, and then he moved closer to her to talk to her.“You should be calm. She is going to be alright.” He said in a low tone, and she immediately tilted her head to look at Eric who had a pale look on his face.“She still had not sent her address. I don't think there is anyone with her right now.” She could not but talk back at him, looking away immediately after she finished talking.“I know. But I want you to be calm. You should not harm yourself before she sends her address….” Just as he was trying to talk to her, her phone suddenly chimed, and she quickly brought it to look at what came in. She noticed that Rachae

    The dinner ended faster than they all thought, and they walked back to the sitting room. Lydia and Harvey sat by themselves, and so did Emily and Damien. Eric and Samantha also took their seat on the same side of the chair.“Now to the next part of the night's activities,” Eric said in a low tone, and they all tilted their heads to look at him as he looked at Samantha for a moment and thought of what next to say. He then tilted his head back to look at them before he talked.“We wanted to play some couple's game. So since there are three couples now, it's the best.” Eric said slowly as his eyes darted between Lydia and Emily. They looked at themselves, and then Emily cleared her throat to talk.“What games are we playing?” She asked, and they all looked at her for a moment before Samantha talked.“The one that couples play. Good thing you have a partner.” “But, I thought we all agreed that it was just to eat dinner. When did we say we were going to play some games?” Emily spoke in su

    It was finally dinner time, Eric and Samantha were in the room, talking about how their day went and what they were going to do at the dinner.“Perhaps after, eating we will play a couple of games and then have fun. What do you think?” Eric looked away as he thought about what Samantha had just said. He thought for a while before he inhaled deeply, bringing his gaze back to look at her.“That's a nice idea. Since we are going to be out of town for the next couple of months. It's only right if we do some of those games and have fun.” Eric explained slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them. Not long after, they heard the sound of a car, driving into the mansion.“They are here!” Eric said rapidly, and she nodded her head slightly as she walked behind him towards the door. They arrived in the dining room and just then, the food was getting ready. The door suddenly opened, and Lydia was the first person to enter the room alongside a strange man. Eric's eyebrow furrowed as

    The meeting finally came to a close after much rancor and disagreements. Eric inhaled deeply as he watched his last auntie leave the room. “Why were they pissed that I was announced as the head of the family?” He thought for a moment before he exhaled rapidly, tilting his head to look at his grandfather, who also seemed to be lost in thought.“Why are they all angry?” He asked in a low tone, jolting Sir Chadwick from his reverie as he tilted his head to look at Eric before he inhaled deeply to talk.“Pay no attention to them. You are now the head of the family. You can choose to do whatever you want to do with them.” Sir Chadwick grunted lightly as he stood up from the chair and walked slowly away from the sitting room but halted his steps, turning around to look at Eric as if he remembered to say something.“You can find your back to the mansion. I will be leaving for France tomorrow. My vacation has started and I don't want any disturbance. Take good care of yourself and of course,
