The drive down to Samantha's house was short and silent. Michael hurriedly got down from the car and walked to the door, ringing the doorbell multiple times. He looked through the window, but it looked like no one was home. He expressed frustration and dissatisfaction as he stamped his feet on the ground lightly, heaving a heavy sigh.

“Calm down. They probably are still sleeping. Perhaps you should call them.” Emily said as she walked closer to him, and he shook his head, hesitating a first as he went back to the door, this time, vehemently knocking on it.

“Samantha!” He yelled out loud and just then, Emily walked up to him to talk, but before she could talk, they heard a neighbor's voice, which grabbed their attention.

“Are you so daft to see that the door is locked? They are not around. Now quit making a noise and get the hell out of there.” The neighbor said and Michael could not hold his anger anymore.

“Yeah, mind your business loser!” He yelled as he scoffed, obviously frustrate

    “I am just surprised and shocked as well.” Emily said in a low tone as she started the car and drove in the direction of the address.“Why?” He asked, tilting his head to face the road briefly and then back at her.“That's where I work.” She said and chuckled softly, while Michael gasped, his eyes went wide in shock as he could not believe his ears.“Wait! Are you being serious right now?” He asked, and she only nodded her head in agreement before talking.“Connor Empire right? That's where I work for real.” She said, and he only chuckled as he shook his head slowly, trying to think of what next to say.“How come you never met Samantha there for once.” He asked as his eyebrows narrowed, making him look curious.“I don't even know. Probably because I was always on the field and not in the office. It also depends on when she was employed. If she were employed recently, I would definitely not know about it. Today is actually the first time in three weeks that I would step a foot in that

    “Are you being serious right now? You work here?” Samantha could not help but repeat her lines as she looked totally puzzled. Emily nodded her head gently as she continued to grin from ear to ear.“I was shocked to know that you work here too.” Emily added, and Samantha's face slowly transformed into a smile as she took a deep breath, before she talked.“Yes! I was just employed here recently.” She said, still not acknowledging the presence of her brother.“I can see someone decided to be the man in her marriage.” Michael said suddenly, and the conversation stalked as there was a total silence. Her face slowly transformed into a slight frown as she tilted her head to look at him.“You came for your wallet, right. Take it and leave here now.” She said as she stretched forth her hands with the wallet in it. Michael scoffed, smirking as he grabbed the wallet from her and looked inside. “I have to be sure that thieve you call a husband did not take anything from it.” He said as he slowly

    “You totally forgot about your work!” Emily said suddenly as she approached Michael in the reception. He raised his head immediately, trying to see where Emily was coming from, and his eyes landed on her as she stood directly in front of him.“I was already late by the time I got here. There was no need of crying over spilled milk.” He said, taking a deep breath as he leaned forward and adjusting for Emily to sit.“So, what are you going to do now?” She asked as she heaved a sigh, sitting down on the chair beside Michael and tilting her head to give Michael a straight gaze.“I don't know. Bryan had asked me to come see him tomorrow. I might use that opportunity to talk to him about offering me a job here.” He said rapidly, gesturing with his hands.“That would be very nice if he could do that for you. But can he employ you and your sister at the same time?” She asked, narrowing her eyebrows to make her look extremely curious rather than surprised. Michael began to nod his head slightl

    “You have been off since the beginning of the day. What is going on with you?” Bryan asked slowly as he walked to where Samantha was seated, halting just before her desk. She tilted her head slowly to give him a stern look, not uttering a single word in response to what he had just said.“Samantha you don't have to give me that silent treatment. I am your boss and above all I still want you to be mine.” He said and this time, Samantha made a scrunching face as she tried to think of what next to say but chuckled softly, waving her head away for a moment.“What's funny?” He could not help but ask, exhaling heavily as he tilted his head to the side.“You are funny, Bryan. You are funny!” She repeated her lines as she tried to arrange her thoughts in her head.“How am I funny?” He asked as he leaned forward, bending over to rest his hands on the desk.“You keep trying to convince yourself that you still have a chance with me. You are being delusional.” Samantha stated with all seriousness

    “Are you for real?” Bryan asked as he chuckled softly, gazing at Emily as she stood there before him.“Yes! Are you supposed to be surprised by that?” She asked, and he began to shake his head slowly.“I am kind of surprised. You know I have been noticing you two since college days” Bryan said as he slowly took a few steps, nodding his head.“What are you talking about Bryan? We were just close friends. We all know you were the one who wanted to date Samantha but could not get your way.” She stated, and the smile on their face suddenly transformed into a frown as he halted his steps, giving her a stern look.Samantha chuckled as she heard what Emily had just said, tilting her head to look at the expression on Bryan's face.“That's not true,” Bryan said in a sharp tone as he took a deep breath, walking back to his chair to sit down. “Of course it's true.” Samantha could not keep herself from chipping into their conversation, and both of them tilted their heads to look at her.“Keep yo

    Samantha got home not long after she left the office. Her mind was still disturbed over the words of her boss as she could not get it off her mind. She reluctantly walked to the door and tried to open it but noticed that the door was still locked. Hence, she knew that her husband was not back home yet. She brought out her keys and slid them into the keyhole, turning them to unlock the door. Her heart kept racing faster as she constantly recalled her discussion with Bryan. “He would stop at nothing.” She thought as she walked into the room directly.She heaved a heavy sigh, as she sat on the edge of the bed, covering her face with both her palms. “Where is Eric?” She asked herself slowly as she brought out her phone from her bag to dial his contact, and then she met his missed call. “Oh, I did not hear my phone ring.” She said out loud as she dialed the contact again, waiting for him to pick up.“Hello dear.” She said as soon as the call connected, heaving a sigh as she leaned backward

    “What!” Eric screamed from the bedroom, and Samantha was jolted immediately. She made a puzzled face, as she took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. “Babe! Are you okay?” She yelled from the kitchen as she rushed out, walking swiftly to the room. “What is it, babe?” She asked as she walked into the room to meet her husband sitting restless on the bed, with his hands placed on his forehead.“Eric! You are getting me worried. Talk to me.” She said as she sat beside him on the bed, placing a hand on his shoulder. Eric only took a deep breath, keeping mute as he could not say a word.“You are killing me with your silence, Eric. Please talk to me. What is going on?” She asked and waited anxiously for him to reply, but he still kept mute. She moved closer to him, holding him by the chin, and tilted his head to look directly into his eyes.“Please, Eric. I am extremely worried.” She tried to talk, but before she could finish, he cut her shut, with a shaky voice.“Am I really cursed?”

    “The morning came earlier than I thought,” Michael said as he walked into the living room, walking slowly towards Emily as she sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone. “Good morning Michael!” She greeted as she immediately tilted her head behind to look at him.“Good morning Emily. You are dressed already?” He asked as he sat down beside her on the couch.“Yeah. I woke early so I decided to use my time properly.” She said as she dropped her phone on the table in front of her.“That sounds kind of nice.” He said and Emily heaved a sigh, tilting her head slightly to see him, with a smile on her face.“You said the morning came earlier than you thought it would.” She asked, and he nodded his head rapidly, looking at the television for a moment before he talked.“Yes. I had a very short sleep.” He replied sharply, tilting his head away from the television to look at her.“What were you so busy doing?” She asked, checking her phone as she heard it chimed.“Nothing.

    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

    “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,
