CHAPTER FIFTEEN They were still in the middle of the party and Maria had just finished giving her speech which has touched the whole crowd. She had explained how her family had gone through hell before they were finally able to eat three square meals a day. The crowd listened attentively as she narrated her life story and many were touched by her past but became happy when she informed them of the latest developments. Few were sincerely happy for them while others were faking their smiles. A toast was raised in honor of the Steele family and Maria had just come down from the podium when she saw the two women that Kate had been talking to before she arrived earlier.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN Owen had just gotten home and he was kinda tired. He had to admit tho, he missed all this. The early morning coffee, the stamping and signings and the occasional roundups of the top deals. He opened the door with his fingerprint and as soon as he walked into the building, he sighed. The whole place was quiet and kinda empty. He massaged his left shoulder with his right hand and did the same with the other but he felt no relief. He was fuc*ing tired. He had just slumped into the couch when he heard the doorbell ring. He was kinda suprised because it was late already. He stared at the clock on the wall and the time was five minutes past eleven. Heck, he didn’t know that it was this late, he had been so busy that he lost track of time. The doorbell rang again and this time, he furrowed his brows. He stood up from the couch carefully and tiptoed to the door. He peeped from the peephole and he saw that it was none other than Mia. He stared for a while, trying to asce

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Tamara had been concerned about the partnership with Echelon. Ever since the day she signed the contract, she had been on tenter hooks. She felt he was trying to play some sick game but she couldn’t counter his attacks when she didn’t even know what the game was. She felt disturbed with the fact that Owen had chosen his two enemies out of all the eligible candidates. She knew that Owen still had her in mind so it came as a surprise to her when he choosed her company for the partnership. She had thought that he would refuse her contract immediately but he ended up accepting it. She was well aware that their companies were not the ones with the best deals but he had accepted theirs anyways. She was also surprised with the fact that he was the CEO of Echelon. She remembered clearly when she had collected the company from Owen after his father, her husband’s death. He had been devastated, depressed even. It felt as though his whole life had been collected

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN As soon as Tamara said those words, Daniel felt weak in the knees. His whole body felt as if a bucket of ice cold water was poured from his head to his toe. He staggered as he looked for somewhere to place his hand on. Tamara saw her son break down and she wept within her. All her life, Daniel had been her inspiration, her motivation and her love for him was beyond comprehension. It hurt her that she couldn’t do anything to soothe his pain at this moment and she could only watch and hope for him to regain himself. She had collected the company from Owen just to make Daniel happy and for some time now, he had been a lot better. It hurt her to see him like this. Daniel had a lot going through his mind. He had thought that Owen had nothing else. He thought that he had won against Owen when the company was collected from him. But it seemed like Owen came back stronger and this made him angrier. “And you were not planning to inform me about it right?” Daniel

CHAPTER NINETEEN It tasted good she had to admit. She didn’t know that Owen was a good cook. But somehow, she felt like he had made the food for her and she appreciated it. She had not eaten since yesterday and she was very hungry. Owen saw that she liked it even without her saying anything so he adde more to the plate. Mia took a seat close to the counter and dug into the food without a second thought. She ate until she was full and Owen took a bottle of water from the fridge and handed it to her as she downed it in one go. Mia opted to do the dishes but Owen blatantly refused so she just watched with him while he washed them, with some silly jokes in between. In no time, Owen was through with the dishes and they had to go back to the living room. Mia walked in front while Owen walked behind her. They sat in silence for a while, each person to their thoughts even though they had a lot in mind to say to the other. Owen was thinking of a way to ask her to work for him without sou

CHAPTER TWENTY It was mid afternoon and since Kate had no where to go, she choose to water the flowers in the garden. Maria had left for work and she was all alone by herself with the workers. She had to admit, she missed those moments she had with Owen but she couldn’t go back to that. She was tired of being under others, now she just wanted to be rich on her own. The flowers had overgrown, she noticed and since age was almost done with watering them, she decided to trim them. She went in to get the hand pruners. She was on her way to the store room when she heard a voice from outside. Maria had just arrived from the office and she was in high spirits. It appeared that the Riverdales had sent a token of their appreciation and support. She had asked the guards about Kate and they had informed her that she was in the garden. She walked to the garden and Kate wasn’t there but she saw the water kettle and so she guessed that it hasn’t been long she left. “Kate” Maria call

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE Owen broke out in cold sweat as the car gave him a tough chase, all the hole firing bullets at his car glass. If not for the fact that the car was bulletproof, then the glasses would have shattered by now. He was already driving above 120 as it stands and he couldn’t increase the speed further. They rained more bullets on his car and from the rear view mirror, he could see that another vehicle had joined and they were now two in number. He was about to make the final corner into his street when his phone tang and he saw that the caller was Mia. “Perfect timing” he mused before picking the call. Immediately he picked up the call, he could already hear Mia screaming his head out but he didn’t give her the chance to talk “Mia” he called but she didn’t reply, rather she continued yelling “Mia” he shouted this time and Mia clasped her mouth shut “Look Mia, the gateman is on a little vacation right now and the remote is in the security room, take the remote a

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “Go in” Owen heard the voice of someone, most probably their leader as he commanded the others to move in. Just as Owen suspected earlier, the assassins were professionals as they moved swiftly without even as much as a sound on the wooden floor. Owen observed his room, looking for an escape route incase things goes south or if his father didn’t make it on time. He heard them push the first door down and his mind skipped a beat. They wasted some time before breaking down the second door. It seemed like they had thoroughly searched the room. They did this to like three more doors before finally getting to his room door. He was scared out of his wits and the first instinct that kicked into him was to run. But he knew that Mia’s room was just a room from his and if they couldn’t get a hold of him, they would not think twice about having those ones killed. So he stood there unmoving as they hit the door the first time. The other doors were not locked from with
