Leonard was getting restless in the prison cell. His release was taking too long. Estelle had managed to launch a foundation that helped in tackling issues of people who were wrongly accused but guess who was still locked up without the hope of release? You guessed right. Him. It was enough to make any sane person begin to think about various things. He was beginning to wonder if Silas was actually working for his release or if he was busy sleeping with his sister all in the name of a relationship and that affected his code of conduct in the prison.He was found brooding most of the time and sometimes too, he was also found snapping at his fellow prisoners making them wonder what caused the sudden change. It was a very slow but evident change that he was no longer the happy fellow that they knew. The prison boss walked up to him that day and saw the way he was acting. "If you have any problems why don't you just go ahead and tell the controller, after all, he's your in-law?" Leona
Estelle walked in right at the same time to see her brother and sister-in-law staring at each other. "Hey, Ava, do you want to see someone? Uncle Silas?" She called and the little girl bounced down from her mother's leg before leaving with Estelle.Emma didn't really know how to react to the way he was staring at her. "You don't think that is enough for me to get angry?" Leonard fumed. Emma sighed tiredly. "you don't get to pass your aggression on me. You told me to stay away from Rufus but I can't just send him away. He supplies me with a bit of information which I tell Silas and which helps with the investigations. You can't tell me not to talk to someone just because...." She trailed off leaving him to figure out whatever.Leonard was pissed that she wasn't just seeing the point. "this isn't about seeing another guy or not. I know Rufus from way back. That man is bad news I don't know you just don't see that." Emma rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted to do was to fight wit
Sophie walked out of the establishment where she was working and hurried to enter a cab that she had ordered. She was very scared nowadays to walk without being guarded. After seeing that her daughter held no manner of love for her, she decided that she didn't want to ever be in a situation where she would be helpless. Ava was like her. Unforgiving and unyielding even after all Emma's efforts to make the little girl like her. She wasn't going to blame Emma rather, she would blame the person who caused it in the first place and it was no one but her."Are you leaving already?!" Macy her coworker yelled as she walked out. She turned when she got to the door. "Yeah, Macy, I'll see you tomorrow." As soon as she stepped outside, thunder clapped in the sky causing her to move her hand away from the iron door for the fear of lightning striking and causing her harm. She was spooked by any little thing and it was messing with her mind this time around. "Are you sure you'll leave now? It's
Antonio paced in front of the board of directors. "You can't keep holding my inability to get married over my head. That doesn't show anything about my character. You've been seeing results, haven't you? That should be enough. I don't buy all these shenanigans that you are playing at." He snapped.They kept on staring at him. Alice coughed, as the chairperson, she had the right to call him to order whenever he was misbehaving. "You shouldn't speak to us in that manner in the first place, secondly. I know that this might be hard for you to admit but you would also agree with me when I say that you shouldn't neglect the words of advice that you're given." "It's a game, a sacrifice that you must make. I thought we had gone past this. Why do you think a lot of budding businessmen get married? Why do you think that divorcees don't hold large public offices? Of course, you don't think that this thing works by magic, do you? You need to be seen as responsible. Watch people who aren't able t
Silas grinned when Alice walked into the establishment. Things were finally going to take a new shape and he wasn't even worried about it for a minute. There was going to be an appropriate punishment for him. "Hello, darling... I don't think that we should be worried about anything the moment we see you. I'm so glad that you could make it after a lot of postponement. How does it feel to be here today after all this while?" He inquired cheerfully.A lovely smile appeared on Alice's face. She liked Silas as a brother. They had come a long way in different spheres of life. "Do you know why I think I should visit more often? You shouldn't announce my arrival like I am the worst person in the world." Silas grinned and hugged her passionately. "Tell me where have you been all these years?" "I've been here and there. What have you been up to besides catching the bad guys? I've watched the news and I think that it's ripe for you to really make a show out of those people who don't think tha
Emma walked into the establishment the next day and saw that Rufus was already waiting for her inside. She glanced at her watch and saw that she was just a bit late. There was a bit of panic in his eyes that got him worried. What the hell happened? She wondered. She didn't have the strength for Rufus' pestering this morning.Ava had gone to School so she was grateful that she didn't need to start explaining what she was doing with another man who didn't care about her and didn't look like a good person."Hello, Joyce." She greeted the receptionist whose head was buried in her desk. That was the only downside she had with her. Apart from that, Joyce was efficient at her job. "Ma'am, you have a very important meeting by ten a.m. The board in Singapore needs you to be present." Joyce lied and Emma smiled in relief. She had told her to always find an excuse whenever Rufus was around so that it didn't seem like it was her doing. "Good morning, Rufus." She greeted him.Rufus merely strok
"I don't know what's going on with you but I want you to know that I'm here whenever you need." Silas coaxed as he stared at Estelle's dilated eyes with worry laced in his tone of speech."Seriously, I think you should let it go. I already told you I'm fine." She stated, folding her arms across her chest as she leaned against the door."You and I know that's not true. Estelle, what is going on? I need you to talk to me." Silas pleaded, shaking her shoulder a little bit to nudge her to present.It was all there in her voice, in her looks. Something was going on but she preferred to keep it to herself."I said, I'm fine. Do I look like someone who isn't?" She questioned forcing a smile but the hint of sadness wasn't left unnoticed by Silas."On the contrary Estelle, yes. You do look like someone who isn't fine. Everything about you has changed, you used to be outspoken but right now, I feel like you tend to recoil to yourself." He used the hand towel in his hands to wipe off the beads o
Emma tapped her feet impatiently as she rushed toward the site where Sophie had called her from. It wouldn't look good for her to let that lady stay there without having the hopes of being released as soon as possible. It was a hard decision but she had to make it after all. "Can you go any faster?" She asked the cab man who had suggested a better route to beat traffic, however with the way the traffic was, there was no hope that she would be able to leave this place any time soon.There was a little to nothing that she could do to make sure that she arrived there quicker than she would have expected.Her eyes flickered toward the myriad of cars that lined up beside her car. "I don't know what will happen to her." She panicked.Her phone began to ring, it was Sophie calling. " please where are you?""I'm on my way. I'm being held up in traffic, I don't know what to do right now" "You don't need to know what to do, please just tell someone else that can come get me. I swear, I apprec
