"Of course Young Master Harrison."  He said happily.

Elliot felt irritated by those words, but he still needed to think this through tonight, but for now, he's made up his mind temporarily, "Don't call me that, I can still change my mind." And with that, he hung up.

Elliot stared at the bag in his hands and sighed, the picture of Hannah being sad just a moment ago for something he could help out with only if he made the right decision made his stomach churn.

"I just have to do it for Hannah, I love her, and I wouldn't let her down, then I'd be worthy to be her husband."  He muttered and smiled to himself.

He began imagining them holding a grand wedding, and him, being the CEO of one of the most wealthiest companies in the country. 

"It's going to be a dream come true!" He sighed happily, he walked over to Hannah's house to drop off her bag in his bike. 

~~~~~~~~

Minutes later, he arrived at the huge mansion painted creamish in colour, the huge black gate obviously covered most of the beauties of the house. He walked in, gently pushing the gate open and knocking on the main house.

 Several knocks later, the door was opened gently only for Elliot to see the face of Hannah's younger sister. 

A frown immediately made it's way on her lips the moment she saw him. She thought it would be her elder sister's suitor.

"What do you want?" She asked sharply with a cold tone, even her face emitted hatred. 

Elliot handed the bag over to her without saying a word.

She scoffed, "I wonder why Hannah would think of you so worthy to hand this bag over to you, who knows if you've stolen anything in it. And to even think she wants to make you her husband, what a joke!" She looked up at him and continued,  "Obviously, your dirty, unwashed hands stained the bags already."

Elliot boiled in anger, he was way older than this girl, why would she talk to him that way.

"Watch your tone, Hilda" He growled, his face colour changed. 

Hilda was shocked, she stared at him in awe, "How dare you talk back at me, it's better you think before talking, young man." She quickly replied, though she was afraid, she didn't wanted to let her guards down in front of him.

Elliot tried controlling his anger, this girl was getting on his nerves, but there was nothing a low-life like him could do.

Without saying anything, he walked away.

~~~~~~

The birds chirped loudly, the cool morning breeze blew soundly and cooly. The sound of Elliot's bike whooshing back and forth slowly enveloped the air.

The road was quiet as Elliot walked about with packages in both hands. He shivered as he walked about delivering the packages to each door. 

His fists hardened, and his face turned sour as he remembered the words Hilda said to him, 'I wonder why Hannah would think of you so worthy to hand her bag over to you. And to even think she wants to make you her husband, what a joke!'

His face reddened, he hated his life, he detest his lifestyle, he hated being a penny pincher, and been looked down on everytime.

His hair looked tattered, he was unkempt, his clothes looked rugged and his hair, uncombed. 

He sighed, walking slowly towards the last door, to deliver the last package for the day before heading on home.

As soon as he put the last package on the last door, his pocket vibrated loudly. With a disgustful hiss, he brought out his phone.

"Hello? To whom am I speaking to?" He asked immediately, waiting for the caller's answer.

His eyes were trying to close, but he forced it open. It was clearly obvious that he was about to sleep and was tired.

After a long silence, Butler Lee's voice spoke carefully but elegantly at the other side of the phone.  "Mr. Harrison, we might have to meet right now, I'm probably going to busy all through out the whole day. Sorry for any inconvenience."

Elliot sighed, he was getting bad feelings for all this, or should he just say he wasn't interested anymore. But on the other hand, he needed what they wanted to offer him.

His heart skipped a beat the moment Butler Lee talked again, "Are you there, Mr. Harrison?"  He asked with curiosity. 

He cleared his throat, "Of course I am." He said and continued "Please send me the address and I'll be there soon." He said with a little hint of coldness.

Butler Lee laughed heartily, making Elliot confused, then he said, "No need for that Mr. Harrison, I'll send over the Rolls Royce to pick you up at your house."

Elliot was getting more and more confused, "How did you know my house?"

Butler Lee was already getting tired of these silly questions, but he tried to keep his cool, "Don't worry about that Mr. Harrison, all of that has been taken care of."

And before he could say or ask of anything else, the call was ended.

Elliot's mind rumbled, he hoped he was making the right decision. 

He walked over to his bike and he drove off carefully over to Hannah's house to explain everything to her.

He arrived at her house in no time and knocked on the door continously.

"Hilda Honey, please go check who's at the door." A middle aged voice spoke from the room.

That was Hannah's mother voice, one of the voices that sent shivers down his spine, one of the voices he always dreaded to hear.

Not long, the door was opened ajar by Hilda.

Elliot could feel something bad was going to happen, but he shoved that feeling to the back of his head.

Immediately Hilda saw him, the big smile on her face turned into a scowl.

"I even thought it was someone better that we were expecting." She scowled back at him.

He didn't even bother to answer her question, he tried peeking inside the house, "Is Hannah home? I'd love to see her."

Hilda laughed outrageously, "You'd better leave, it's not going to be good if Hannah's date meet you her, and you're claiming to be her fiancé."

But on the other hand, he was confused, his heart was filled with rage and jealousy, and it didn't seem like she was joking, she has never joked around with him. His fists were red, his face turned dark and he completely forgot the main reason he came here in the first place."Hey!! I said leave!" Hilda barked the second time.Hannah's mother was alerted, she could hear voices from afar, the voice that her daughter was talking to seemed familiar, but she couldn't point a finger to who it was, so she decided to confirm, "Hilda Honey, who's at the door? And what's happening out there? I can hear voices."Hilda waved her hands up in the air, "Nothi

    Immediately, he brought out a blank sheet of paper and placed it on the table before him, while pointing at some spaces, "Sign here, here and here, and it's all done. Though you can go through it if you like."With clear nervousness that he tried to push at the back of his mind, he carefully picked up the paper, checking out every single sentences from it. As he kept on looking, a sentence caught his eye, making his heart beat faster, "Was this real? Or it was a joke?" He murmured within himself.Butler Lee noticed the change in Elliot's face, but he couldn't point of finger to it, "Is everything okay?" He quickly asked.Elliot put the paper back to the table and pointed at the same particular sentence, out of eagerness, Butler Lee checked it out and it said, 'whether you go to work or not, you would get to be paid the sum of a million dollars monthly excluding tips and revenue.'Butler Lee raised an eyebrow at him, "So? What's wrong with that?"Elliot looked back at him confused, "I

    The floor glittered with marbles, showing the reflection of whoever was in the room. The illuminated lights shone dimly making everywhere look like a fairytale.Elliot drooled with amazement, but did well enough to hide it away from Andrew.Shall we go to the company now, they might want to announce their new Boss?" Andrew asked with a hitched eyebrow.Although, Elliot didn't wanted to leave, but he nodded slightly. 'He was going to come back here' He thought.Andrew led the way out of the humongous house, and they zoomed off in his Maybach.~~~~~~The company looked large, the name 'Harrison Co.Ltd' was largely imprinted on the company, large enough for anyone to see it from a far distance.It looked like it had six storeys, and everything was made out of glass. The doors largely stood elegantly at the middle of the first floor also made out of glass."Shall we go in, Boss?" Andrew asked, and without waiting for his response, he walked in.Slowly, Elliot also walked inside the compan

Mr Arnold said, then pointed at Elliot, "Everyone, meet Mr Elliot Harrison. He will be taking over now.""He had a son? How could this wretched man be his son and become our boss?"

He said, all eyes were on him but he continued

He answered, trying not to sound too excited.~~~Hannah stumped her leg carefully on the ground at the restaurant, she was waiting anxiously for Elliot, but he was nowhere to be found."Where is he?" She roared under her breath, her eyes peeking at every side of the room, especially the doors.She gazed at everyone who entered the restaurant thinking it was Elliot.Beads of sweat formed around her head, once again. when she needed him, he was nowhere to be found.Just then, the door opened gently and it was Elliot. Hannah stared at him weirdly, he looked a little bit different than before. His jeans trousers were neatly ironed, his white shirt sparkled neatly, and his shoes were dazzling black and well cleaned.She kept on staring at him a bit weirdly, "What is going on?" She muttered."Was this the Elliot

"Oh no, I got it this time. You've been paying for quite some time now, this time, I'll pay."Hannah's eyes widened in shock, "What was going on? This was the first time in a few years that he wanted to pay for their food.""What is going on that I don't know about?" She murmured, then she looked up at Elliot and spoke, "Elliot, is everything okay?"Elliot's heart skipped a beat, why was she curious about what's happening, this was getting awkward for both of them.Elliot stared into thin air, until he was jolted from his day dream by Hannah, "Elliot," She called out curiously. "What's wrong with you lately?" Hannah couldn't keep in her curiosity any longer, this was beginning to get weird, even for her.

    Elliot slumped on the chair tiredly, he faced Andrew, "Is there anymore for today?" He asked. Elliot could only be himself in the presence of Andrew and Hannah. "Yes, you have two more conference meetings for the day, then we can get some food and head home."Elliot sighed, but then, his phone vibrated. Curiosity peeked at him when he saw the doctor's contact on his phone."Hello?" "Mr.Harrison, long time, no see. How have you been?" The doctor chuckled slightly. "It's been good," Elliot quickly chipped in and continued, "Anything wrong that you called?""Oh yes," He sounded as if he just remembered his reason for calling, "Your Nana keeps on repeating your name for the past few hours."Elliot's brow creased in confusion, "My name?" He asked again."Yes, yes" He repeated, then cleared his throat and continued, "I think you need to visit her to see what's happening." The doctor added.A frown landed on his face, "What could possibly be wrong with his Nana?" He thought to himself. H

"Andrew," He yelled, "Let's go."Nana looked at Andrew suspiciously, her eyes scrutinized the more as she looked at his every step elegantly in front of them."Who is he?" She finally spoke out, pointing at Andrew.Elliot hugged his Nana, "Sooner, I'll introduce you to him, please keep calm." From the very start, his Nana was very inquisitive, she will dig into one's life if you really want to be someone close to Elliot, she cherished Elliot so much, that she didn't allowed anything horrible to happen to him.Elliot thought on how he would tell his Nana everything about him owning a company and being

    He rolled his eyes, 'Oh great, now they were really close and making promises, huh?' He thought."Well, don't you worry Nana, she's at her family home and would be back soon." He replied.Out of a sudden, she came closer to him, stroking his hair gently and sweetly making him moan softly in pleasure, "I've told you several times, if you don't feel comfortable calling me Nana, you could just call me mother if that's okay with you." She stopped, then continued, "I've been taking care of you since you were little, you can just call me mother if you want."Elliot purred in satisfaction, his tense system and emotions calmed down a little bit. His worries flew away like a bird and he closed his eyes, trying to sink in every sweet moment they had."Mother," He called out for the very first time in a very long time. The word sent chills down his stomach and it made him felt a little awkward. He hasn't called anyone 'mother' for a very long time. And now that he was doing it, it felt somehow

    Elliot walked towards the car and sat beside Andrew, with bulging eyes, he asked, "That's bad. What if Hannah or Lady Hart or any of her relatives that knows me watched the news?" He searched Andrew's eyes worriedly but it doesn't seem like Andrew was concerned. He just wore a nonchalant face when something bad just happened to him. "Why don't you seem concerned?" Elliot asked out of the blue, staring at Andrew's eyes trying to fathom what he was currently thinking. Andrew shrugged a little bit, "What we have at hand is definitely way more worse than Hannah, or her parents or relatives seeing you on TV."Elliot stared at Andrew for some damn time, now he was confusing him. Come to think of it, he has been speaking indifferently ever since he called him this morning."Oh," He tapped his head hard, "And what did you want to tell me, that you claimed was so urgent?""We need to get home first, what I want to tell you might shake you a bit." He spoke , but he never left the road.Elliot

    "Well, it felt great and the opposite at the same time. Everything seemed too excess to me, when I knew that the less privileged needed those things and I had the excess of those things." Then he looked around the people for some time and continued, "So that's why I thought that I would do my utmost best to help the less privileged, even if it isn't in my position to do so."An uproar of applause rounded the air, and the cameras did their work effectively too. The Smile on the crowd's face made his heart warm up a little. He knew what it felt like to feel hungry, and desperately needed money for it. He stood up, and bowed in respect to their applause.The interviewer smiled brightly, in all his years of interviewing and questioning rich people or celebrities, they have never opened up to him or the whole crowd like this. He could notice that in Elliot's voice, there was no such thing as proudness, he couldn't feel any hint of proudness in his tone. Plus, he was subjected to humility.

    And that moment, she stood up too, "Then I'm not calling her to call it off. Whether you like it or not, she's coming here." She replied, then walked out on him hurriedly and went to her room, then the sound of the room closing hardly enveloped the air.He glanced at the table in frustration, then his eyes moved over to her phone lying there uselessly.Then an accomplished smile crept up his lips as he picked it up and dialed her number. "Hello?" She spoke, the sound of whooshing air was heard at the background of the calling."You can turn."Lady Hart turned her head in confusion, and she sneered before she spoke, "What in the hell are you talking about?" He spoke gently, making his every word sound creasy, "I said you can turn back, Lady Hart." He answered back.A strand of sweat lingered around his forehead. He couldn't fathom what she would do next, but he stood his stance. If he could just avoid her coming here, maybe his wife wouldn't die like she did in his dream."I'm almost

    "How is she?" Lady's Hart's voice spoke fluently at the other side of the phone, her voice as lively as ever.Disgust and nothing but hate flushed down his system. If his wife really died, he was going to make sure he finished this woman before he died. Even if it means going to jail or getting killed for it.After hearing her voice being lively, his hands shook. Her voice and words made him remember his wife. That was how she talked, so lively!"Hello?" Lady Hart's voice spoke yet again after she waited for some time and didn't hear any response."You there?" She repeated, but an ounce of pity wasn't evident in her voice."She's dead." He managed to say, then smashed the phone against the floor angrily. He didn't care what she would feel, but still, he knew she wouldn't care since she was pitiless. She was nothing but a nonchalant, wicked, money-loved mother and mother in law to them. And to Hannah, she wasn't the perfect grandmother. Ever since Hannah was young, he would remember w

Her back rested unto the wall hardly, she wriggled her hands and head every now and then.She ignored his question, it felt like heavy drumming was happening in her head, and she tried speaking but she just couldn't.Mr Hart gazed backwards only to see Lady Hart already seated on the dining chair once again, sipping orange juice while giggling over her phone nonchalantly. She acted as if they didn't exist.He sneered, right now, he didn't have time for this woman. He dragged his wife in pain, she was unconscious already and her body was heavier than what he thought, her breathing was unstable and it felt like life was slowly slipping out of her.He was getting convinced that something happened, "Honey?" He muttered to her ears, but unfortunately, there was no response for a long time.He wiggl

    Lady Hart breathed in indifferently, closed her eyes and opened it only to see Mr Hart breathing heavily opposite her. She twitched her mouth downwards, she tried calming the anger that brewed in her, though it wasn't what she expected, it still looked all fun to her. "Mr Hart, calm down. What happened?" She asked, pretending to care about whatever he fussed about. She tried adding salts to the wound, probably, it would get him infuriated.He breathed in, "You are not worthy to be called a grandmother!" He scowled at her, his figure was already getting intimidating."Now that was way past her league." She thought within herself.Her eyes turned deadly, this wasn't a joke anymore. How could he talk nonsense to her face? Wasn't she intimidated by her?"Enough!" She yelled back, the food shook on the table vigorously.Mrs Hart hid in her own shadows, she wasn't conscious of what she would do. Now, both her husband and mother were furious and she was totally lost in her thoughts.Mr Har

After hearing our explanation, she'll have no other choice than to tell her to come back home."Mrs Hart sniffed in gently, nodding her head. Then she brought out her phone, dialing Lady Hart's number. After a number of beeping, Lady Hart's voice came through later on, "What do you want?" She asked nonchalantly."Can we speak over dinner tonight?" She asked in a straight tone. Her once vibrant tone sounded angry and wasn't in a good mood.~~~~~Later at night,"The lasagnas are ready!" Mrs Hart announced, putting the tray of food on the table. The aroma of the lasagna and herbal tea which was Lady Hart's fav

    "Honey, wasn't he Nicholas? The same tall one that dated Hannah when they were still in school?" Mr Hart spoke with disbelief evident in his tone, staring darkly at his wife.She couldn't get herself to say yes or no. All her whole life, she believed Nicholas was one of the perfect men for her daughter. But when Hannah came home, informing her of her break up with him, she was devastated.She nodded slowly, before coming to her senses, "Come on darling, Is that the only Nicholas we know? The Nicholas that dated our daughter was way too nice to do that." She concluded.Her husband ignored her, since he knew he was all for the money, she wouldn't want to believe that Nicholas could do such a thingMr Hart faced Andrew, "Did you get to meet Him? Could you describe his facial features and body size?"Andrew nodded, then closed his eyes to remember the man. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, "He had thick black hair and brows. Looking like a model, the left side of his lips curved a litt
