Dalia took a sip from her drink.

"Trying to get us out of this mess. Theodore admitted to having a hand in trying to ruin our business." Dalia said taking a cigarette.

"Oh so that's why you want him out of the picture." Yeager chuckled.

He put his hands around Dalia's body and kissed her neck.

"Let me make you forget your troubles." He whispered into her ears making Dalia shudder.

Theodore walked into his home which Janelle was residing temporarily.

"Why are you here?" Janelle asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to someone."

"Am fine." Theodore replied.

"You don't look so good. That man, he was the man you thought was your father isn't he?" Janelle asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

    "No, you're right I acted like an idiot." Janelle sighed. "I didn't mean to yell, I was just a bit pissed. What if I hadn't found out you weren't home? I came to check on you yesterday. I wanted to take you out..." Theodore stopped and sighed. "Am sorry." "No, it's fine. I know you're an adult. And maybe you're right I shouldn't impose rules on you.

Then he remembered the footage from the bar. "Are you okay son?" Charles asked as he noticed Theodore's divided attention."Yeah dad am fine." Theodore nodded.

    Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Leo wasn't the type to lie outright, but there was something peculiar about his request. Theodore picked up his phone and made a quick call to one of his trusted men."Follow him." Theodore instructed. "I want to know where he
