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

    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

    “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

    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

    “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

    “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

    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

    “Please, brother, I do need your help. Please help me,” a young man with handsome features said while kneeling in front of another.“Why should I ever do anything for you? All you do is to depend on my family's wealth, and now you are asking for more favors?” Micheal replied with disdain in his eyes.“That's exactly why I want to get a job. I would like to help this family and also help my wife. Please do something.” Eric, the young man, kept begging.“Do something? Why should I care? You are a man, so go out there and seek employment.” Michael sneered.“Please, with your connections, I am sure I could get the job easily. You have to help me.” Eric replied.He had been the son-in-law of the family with no penny attached to his name. Today, he came to beg his brother-in-law for a job connection so everyone would stop seeing him as a freeloader in the family.Several times he had tried different companies seeking a job, but each time he was bundled out.

    “What is going on here? You must be making a mistake. What did I steal?” Eric frowned. He didn't understand why the police would appear out of nowhere and start accusing him.“Are you messing with us or what? Did you pay for these clothes you are carrying?” Another snarled. “Yes, my brother-in-law has paid for these clothes. I didn't steal anything.” Eric tried to explain, but little did he know that he was making the situation worse.The policemen became infuriated by this. They caught him red-handed yet he was lying.“Where is the receipt for the clothes?” Another asked him, but he was left speechless by the question.He looked around only to find people taking pictures of him. He frowned. It was like taking a nail to the chest, but that didn't stop him from trying to prove his innocence.“My brother in law is still in the shop.

    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,
