“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. I just could not

    “Are you in the building already?” Bryan asked Emily in a low tone as he sat on his chair and waited for her to reply.“Yes. I came in a few minutes ago.” She said.“Michael is there with you, I suppose.” He said, asked slowly.“Yes. He is here. Should I bring him to your office?” She asked, and he tilted his head to look at Samantha who was busy on her phone, not paying attention to what he was doing.“Yes. Bring him over, please, would you?” He said, tilting his head away from her and dropping the phone on the table, heaving a heavy sigh.“I have some unfinished business.” He said lowly, but loud enough for Samantha to hear what he said. She only tilted her head slightly to give him a sharp look for a moment before taking her gaze away. All that ran through her mind was how he made her husband lose her job.“Samantha!” She suddenly heard her name, which made her jolt from her reverie as she tilted her head immediately to look at him, not uttering a single word.“What is going on?

    Bryan's phone suddenly began to ring, grabbing the attention of both men as they both tilted their heads in the direction of the phone. He quickly leaned forward to see who was calling and gasped when he saw that it was his elder brother, Peter.“Excuse me for a moment.” He whispered, and Michael only nodded his head slowly, heaving a sigh as he leaned backward, waiting for him to finish making his call.“Hello bro.” He said as soon as he picked up the call and placed the phone over his ears.“What's going on?” Peter asked, clearing his throat slightly and heaving a sigh.“Nothing much. I am in a meeting.” He replied, tilting his head to see the expression on Michael's face briefly.“Potential investors? You know we are in need of investors. We need to settle some debts.” He replied, and Bryan began to nod his head slowly.“I understand. I am still trying my best, but right now, this is not a business meeting. It's a personal one.” He said, taking a deep breath as he leaned backward a

    Eric turned on his bed, trying to find a comfortable spot, but he could not get any. His heart was troubled by the fact that he was trying to achieve his selfish goal while putting his wife and other loved ones through a hard time. “Perhaps I should just let go of everything and forgive them for all they have done. It's not getting any better, and they will never accept him in this condition.” He thought as he heaved a sigh, sitting up on the bed as different thoughts filled his mind. “Samantha does not deserve to go through all these.” He thought, getting up from the bed and starting to pace around the room slowly.“I shouldn't have kept it away from her. She stood by me even when I did not know that I was the sole heir to my family's corporation.” He thought as he continued to walk slowly around the room. His mind suddenly wandered off to when he met Samantha and their love life began. He had always told her that he had nothing and that he was an only child of his mother before she

    “What did he tell you?” Samantha could not help but ask as she raised both eyebrows, as she was anxious to hear what Micheal had told her about Samantha.“Well, if I could remember, he made mention of you and your husband trying to sabotage him and paint him black.” She said slowly as if she were counting her words as she spoke them.“Sabotage?” She repeated loudly in shock as she could not believe her ears. Emily nodded in the affirmative as she tilted her head away from Samantha slowly, recalling the moment that Michael was telling her about everything.It was an evening, about three days after she had asked Michael to move into her house. They both say in the living room, watching television before she clears her throat slightly as a question pops up in her mind to ask him.“How did all this happen? From owning a house to losing your house and family at the same time.” She asked and winced inwardly as she realized the nature of the words that she had used on him.“I am sorry if tha

    It was finally the day of the housewarming party. Michael was overly excited about the party since it was going to be an avenue to finalize his deal with Bryan. “I am going to show Eric that I am his superior. I control the game and I decide the rules.” He thought as he rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up. As soon as he walked into the bathroom, he suddenly came to a realization that something had been off with Emily for the past two days. He stopped in front of the mirror to wonder what was going wrong.“Did she hear something about me?” He asked himself, making a puzzled face as if he were talking to his reflection in the mirror. “Even if she did, she should have asked me and asked me to explain. Perhaps I will ask her about the sudden change in character towards me.” He thought as he rapidly took his bath and got dressed. He walked out of the bedroom straight to the living room but could not find Emily. “Where could she be?” He asked himself as he heaved a

    Michael could not shake off the thoughts as he walked behind Bryan to an empty table. “Why was Emily giving me such a stern look? Something must definitely be wrong somewhere.” He thought. Not long after, they arrived at an empty table just at the end of the hall, where there were fewer people. “Perfect place for discussing such an issue.” Bryan thought as they sat down on the chair. Drinks were served and they both sipped their drink. Bryan tilted his head slightly and noticed that Michael had a slight frown on his face, and he moved to ask him what was going on with him.“What is wrong?” Bryan asked rapidly as he dropped his glass in front of him. Michael contemplated on whether to tell him what was going on or not. He was quick to decide not to talk about it with Bryan, as he only shook his head.“Nothing. I am just excited, and when I am overly excited, I just stay quiet.” He said, hoping that Bryan would buy that idea from him, but he did not.“No. I can't agree with that at all.

    Samantha lay quietly on her own side of the bed as Eric was taking a shower in the bathroom. Her heart raced faster as she thought of everything that had been happening in their lives for the past few weeks. “How did I get myself into this mess with Bryan?” She asked herself as she turned to change the position that she was in. Just then, she heard the squeaking sound of the door, and she tilted her head to look at Eric who walked into the room and gasped. She chuckled at the sight of him, tilting her head away almost immediately.“What?” Eric asked as he scoffed slightly, drying his hair with the towel in his hand.“Why did you leave it dangling like that? You should have used your towel.” She said slowly as if she were counting her words as she spoke them. Eric walked to the front of Samantha unexpectedly, and she began to laugh, placing a palm over her mouth. He leaned forward to whisper into her ears.“Would you rather have it dangling inside of you?” He asked, and she laughed har

    “I apologize for the tone. It was not intentional.” Samantha pleaded lowly and tilted her head to glance at her husband who already had a scrunching face as he could not understand what was going on.“Who was that?” He mouthed, and she gestured to him that she was going to explain after the call. He nodded, tilting his head away to look at his phone. “Who could that be?” He wondered as he continued to scroll through his phone. “So, we have been searching for you around the party, but we cannot find you,” Peter said slowly, taking a deep breath.“Uhm…. I…. I….” she stuttered without coming up with a single statement, causing her husband to gaze at her with a puzzled face as he kept on wondering who she was talking to.“You can't tell me that you forgot. Because that is not even feasible.” He said and Samantha let out a heavy sigh as she did not know what else to say or do.“Who is that, babe?” Eric finally asked in a loud tone as he wanted the other person on the phone to know he was

    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

    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,
