There was a moment of silence in the room as Eric gazed fiercely at Michael, who had nothing in his mind other than to find his way out of their house. Samantha heaved a heavy sigh as her eyes darted between get husband and her brother, left with the hard decision of choosing her brother or her husband. Eric walked swiftly to the room, and Samantha had no choice but to follow her husband to the room.

“What is the meaning of all these?” He asked, immediately he walked into the room and heard Samantha shut the door.

“Calm down sweetheart!” Samantha said in a low tone as she turned behind to look at the door.

“Don't tell me to calm down. Your brother just showed up in my house with two police officers? What does he think he is doing?” Eric sounded infuriated, and his wife only kept mute, staring straight into his eyes as if she were trying to communicate with the eyes. The sound of heavy breathing filled the air as Eric's heart raced faster.

“Babe!” She called slowly in a low tone after

    Michael lay there on the bed with a heavy heart as he could not stop thinking about what had transpired between him and Eric. He heaved a sigh as he turned to face the other side of the room, not able to get his mind off the whole incident. His mind suddenly wandered off to the conversation he had with his mother and how she bailed on him when he needed her the most. “Fuck!” He grunted as he turned on the bed. His heart was heavy as he tried not to think of it again. He brought out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.“Emily!” He whispered as he thought of dialing the contact but retreated as he remembered that it was the middle of the night. “The hands on the clock are moving slower.” He thought as he placed the phone facing down, heaving a sigh. He closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to take over.*****Michael suddenly woke up, tilting his head around as he noticed that he was in a different place entirely. He suddenly remembered all that happened last night, and he scoffed,

    “So, what's up with you?” Emily asked as they walked into her living room. Michael could not help but look around the room again as if he had not been there before. He heaved a heavy sigh, sitting on the couch before he slowly tilted his head to look at Emily before talking.“Everything is crumbling down on me. Everyone I know is turning their back on me. Including my family.” He said slowly, and she could not help but look away as different thoughts ran through her mind at that moment.“It's so pathetic. Wait, you still have not told me how you list the house. What is the real reason it was grabbed from you?” She asked, and Michael instantly looked away, trying to avoid her gaze. He knew he could not tell her the real reason he lost the house, as he knew it would sound ridiculous to the ears. “That's not what is important right now. The only thing on my mind right now is to start my job tomorrow and hopefully, at the end of the work, they should retain me. I will save and get myself

    It was finally morning, the first day of the casual work. Michael could not take the excitement off his face as he stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to take his bath. He stood under the shower for a moment, trying to picture out how his day would go at the new place but not long after, his thoughts soon took another dimension as he suddenly remembered the call he made yesterday with Sonia. “Could she be serious about what she said to me?” He asked himself as he stopped the shower from running. He took a deep breath as he finally came out of the bathroom, heaving a sigh as he tried not to think about the discussion with her. His heart raced faster with the growing uncertainty about his new work. Just then, his phone began to buzz and he checked to see who was calling. He hissed after seeing that it was his mother who was calling. “Why is she calling me?” He asked himself as he chose to ignore the call. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, and suddenly, he

    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

    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

    Sick for a while

    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

    A toast to a long lasting family

    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,
