The alarm went off and Eric immediately opened his eyes. He checked beside him, and Samantha was already up and out of bed. He yawned, stretching out his arms as he stood from the bed and walked straight into the bathroom, to get prepared for the day's activity. A thought suddenly struck his mind on how to arrange the meetings and make the plan work out smoothly for him. Not long after, he came out of the shower and started to get dressed. He picked up his phone and dialed Damien. As soon as it started to ring, Damien picked up the call and greeted.

“Good morning boss.” He greeted, and Eric heaved a sigh.

“Mind your words. I am at home.” He said, and there was a brief moment of silence before he talked.

“How can I be of help?” Damien said, and Eric cleared his throat slightly as he looked around, making sure that no one was looking.

“Where are you?” He asked.

“On my way to the company,” Damien responded and Eric gave a nod.

“I will meet you there soon. There is something I need to dis

    The taxi pulled over in front of Rachael's house and Etic came out of the car. He paid the taxi man and heaved a sigh as he turned around to look at the house. “I have to put on my best acting performance.” He whispered to himself as he took a deep breath and walked to the door, hitting the bell. No response came immediately, and his heart skipped a beat as he thought of what could go wrong. He rang the bell again and this time, the door opened, revealing Rachael. She gave him a stare-down for a moment, and Eric knew he was in for drama today.“Good morning mother-in-law.” He greeted and bowed lowly to her, but she hissed, rolling her eyes away as if she were disgusted by his presence. “What are you doing here this morning?” She asked in a sharp tone, and Eric lowered his head as if he was ashamed of himself.“I came to say hello to my mother-in-law.” He replied and waited anxiously for her to reply, but she chuckled with a hint of sarcasm. “Who is your mother-in-law? I hope you are

    Eric's gaze fell on Damien as he walked in through the door. He felt a bit relieved and quite excited at the sight of Damien. “There he is. Arrest him, officer.” Damien said, pointing to Eric, who stood up slowly and quickly understood the script he was to play. “I am sorry. I am still sourcing for your money. That was why I even came here to borrow some so that I could pay you. If you get me arrested now, how do I get the money from the cell.” Eric asked in a low tone as he pleaded for him not to be arrested.“Wait, officer, you are making a mistake. This is Eric, do you know who he is?” Michael asked as he approached the officer, but before he could get a reply, his mother talked, grabbing the attention of everyone in the room.“Don't listen to him, officer. Do your job. Take him away from here. We don't know him.” She said, and Michael kept mute as he did not know what to say but to keep watching as the drama unfolded. “Officer, arrest him, please. I have a meeting to attend, an

    Eric became excited as he finally pulled off the drama. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the back seat of the police van, smirking. He cleared his throat, tilting his head to look at the officer beside him, to talk.“Officer, can I call my wife?” He asked lowly, waiting anxiously for the officer to talk, but he burst into wild laughter as he tilted his head to look at Eric who was thrown into confusion. “Why is he laughing?” Etic wondered as he had a puzzled face on, waiting for him to hear from him. “That was some professional acting in there. You should consider a career in acting.” The officer said, and Eric could not help but laugh as he heard what he had just said. “But how?” Eric asked lowly, heaving a sigh.“Damien already told us the whole story. And we told him not to inform you about us.” He said, and Eric forced out a breath as he could not help but think about how Damien was able to pull this off together with Darius. Not long after, the van pulled over in front of

    “Your filthy, good-for-nothing husband has been arrested for not paying up his debt. Now you have to rethink if you still want to be with that loser, or you want to be with someone else.” Michael said over the phone and took a pause, taking a deep breath to catch his breath. He heaved a sigh before he continued to talk, but Samantha started to talk, making him keep quiet to listen.“Michael, is this really you speaking?” She asked as she brought the phone off her ear to see the caller ID again before placing it back over her ear.“Oh yes! This is me. I was blinded by the wrong fact, and now I am back to my senses. Leave that man alone.” He said, and Eric could not help but stare at his wife as she kept mute, listening to his brother.“I should have known this was your plan all along. Getting him arrested.” Samantha blew hot over the phone and Eric became scared that Michael could reveal what happened. He heaved a sigh, getting the attention of his wife, who did not listen when Michael

    Eric woke up to the soft tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes slowly but squinted in response to the light that came in through the window. He slowly tilted his head to see his wife getting ready, and he quickly sat up on the bed, yawning and stretching out his arms. Samantha tilted her head to give her husband a brief look as she wiped her face in front of the mirror. There was a moment of awkward silence in the room before she took a deep breath to talk, but before she could say a word, Eric talked.“Where are you going?” He asked in his groggy voice as he tried to get up from the bed on his feet, then he suddenly realized that he was naked, not wearing even a boxer. His mind suddenly wandered off to what happened between him and his wife last night. He quickly reached for his underpants and wore it swiftly before his wife could notice. “I told you yesterday about the job offer that I got.” Samantha said as she turned around to focus her gaze on her husband.“You told me about a

    Eric quickly got dressed, minutes after his wife left the house. “I have to meet with Damien before she arrives.” He whispered to himself as he wore his clothes quickly. He dashed out of the room and headed straight to Juan Manuel Corporation. He walked in, and the receptionist directed him straight to Damien's office. Eric heaved a sigh as he knocked on the door to the office and in not time, a response came.“Come in.” He heard and opened the door swiftly, going inside. “Young master, what a pleasant surprise.” He said as he stood up abruptly from his chair and ushered Eric to a chair. “What would you like to have? You did not inform me that you are coming.” Damien said as he tilted his head to look at him. Eric took a deep breath as he thought of where to start from.“Damien, there is something I want to discuss with you. It's very important.” Eric said, and Damien immediately had a smirk on his face.“It took you long enough, young master. I was intending to tell you about it too

    Eric left Damien's office swiftly and headed straight to his house. A thought suddenly crossed his mind and he changed his mind to visit Darius. He thought of a way to do it, and he went back to meet Damien.“Did you forget something?” The receptionist asked, and he smiled, before he nodded. “I will get it brief.” He said, and she gave a nod, but suddenly came to realize that her boss was in a board meeting.“Excuse me sir. He is in a meeting.” The receptionist said sharply, and he heaved a sigh of disappointment as he remembered that Damien had made mention of the meeting earlier when he was with him.“When is he going to be out?” Eric asked, raising an eyebrow as he tilted his head to give her a brief look.“Let's say an hour or, at most, an hour and thirty minutes.” She replied, and he slowly lowered his head, shaking it as he thoughts about what next to do. He knew he couldn't go directly into Darius's company to meet with, as he did not want to stare any speculation about himself

    Michael searched through all his pockets but could not find the card. He heaved a sigh of frustration as he went towards his bed to sit on the edge. Different thoughts soon ran through his mind as he sat there. “How do we pay up this debt?” He asked himself as he was slowly losing his mind, knowing that there was no way Samantha would ever agree to marry Darius and also Darius had rejected her outrightly without giving any valid reason for doing so. He heaved a sigh as he began to tap his lips slowly with his fingers.His phone suddenly began to buzz, and he checked to see who was calling. “Darius” he whispered to himself as he tilted his head away immediately, contemplating on whether to pick the call or not. “It's just a call.” He said and took a deep breath, closing his eyes briefly. Just as he was about to pick the call, it ended, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he tossed the phone to the other side. He leaned backwards, resting his back on the pillow as he went deep in thought.

    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,
