Griffin stormed into the house fuming wurh rage. He hadn't been at home all day, busy wuth work and his own personal life as well.

Apparently, though they had gotten for themselves some investors, they still needed to put in some work to keep those investors.

He recognized Juan's efforts but he needes him to put in some more. At times like these, he wished his brother were here. And that was when he was reminded that his brother was currently suffering in jail.

And then he got a phone call that his nephew had been arrested.

"You had been arrested?!" He roared as he knocked down Juan's bedroom door.

Juan was akready drifting into unconsciousness, "what is this?" He asked as he allowed his eyes adapt to the light pouring in from the hallway.

Griffin walked to the bed and yanked the duvet away from Juan, "you were arrested?!"

Juan wrapped his arms around his body as he felt the cold carress his skin which was abruptly in contrast to the heat he had been enjoying.

    Carolene chuckled slightly, her eyes darted to the right before it moved back to Kraig, "what do you mean by that?" Kraig shook his head, he looked as if those words had not been an accusation, which was quite the contrary. "just something that got me wondering". Carolene nodded her head then shrugged as she said, "I don't know." Her eyes moved to the ceiling as she began to say, "well, there are a lot of Smiths in this world, a lot of Daniels too and quite a number of Reginald's too" her eyes fell on him. Nothing about the way she was acting seemed as if she was anxious or scared if having her secret exposed. Kraig felt that it was either because she was innocent of what he was sublimely accusing her of, or it was that she was confident in her lies. "It's too much of a coincidence really, the two of you have the same last name". "So it happened, we're different people that have no sort of relationship". Kraig laughed slightly, his hands finding his waist, "it's just so hard to

    It was as if life itself was against jade. On the first day of work, such a tragedy befell her company. She stood there, in front of the lab watching it engulf in flames. There was nothing that coukd save it. She wondered if her parents were gonna blame her, if they woukd say she was the one responsible for all of this, if they would call her a child of bad luck. She didn't know how to feel. "I think you should go back" Christian said from beside her. "The firefighters are here already, let them do their job". "Christian, this was supposed to be a good day, my first day, but suddenly this tragedy just happened". "Luckily, nobody got hurt, isn't that a good thing?"

    Wynn stood in front of Leah's door, she had not heard from her sister ever since the ordeal with Juan. She had no idea that Camille had gone over to Juan's house to scold him against Leah, nor did she know of what Juan had said to Leah. She hesistated knocking feeling like if she did go in there she would have nothing to say to her. She took a deep breath, but turned away. However, before she could accomplish that, Leah was standing there, door opened and wearing her pajamas. Wynn swallowed. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see how you were doing" Wynn said, uncertainty in her tone. Leah scrutinized her for a few seconds. She recalled the words that Juan had said to her, that he only had sex with her because she was the closest thing to Wynn. Those words crippled her self esteem and the hate she had for Wynn somehow shot through the roof. She grimaced, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry". Wynn nodded her head, obviously hearing the disinclination she didnt even bother t

    Kraig immediately, practically melted, he hurried to stand by her side and hold her hand. She took in a deep breath, her eyes moved around as she took in everyone in the room. Leah was on her feet as well, standing over Wynn, with tears in her eyes. "Kraig," Wynn said, her eyes staring at Kraig's hands that held her own. "I.. um, I want to be alone" she withdrew her hand. Kraig was shocked, he stepped back, "you want to be alone?"

"I can't do this right now," she sajd, "I can't" she muttered. Kraig who had been worried sick about her, glanced at Kyle wjo stood beside him.

She knew for a fact that her son wasn't exactly a good boy, but death was not what she had been expecting. He ecen got married without telling her and then he died. She fell down yo the ground. But before she touched the ground, jade quickly grabbed hold of her, "you don't have to do this. Its my fault for telling you. I'm sorry, I just wanted you to know". "What happened to him? How did he die?" "He was shot" jade turned towards the staircase, as she bagan to lead Margot away up the staircase.

    Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

    Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

    Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

    Daniel took two steps forward. Though such a small number of steps should not possess the ability to completely obliterate the distance between them, but his strides were the guilty party.With just two steps, he now stood right beside Fabio as he peered into the evidence bag to scrutinize clearly the bullet kept within.Fabio was made cognizant of the imaginary distance between them. He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

    Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

    Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate. But as she thought, it could be beca

    Leah woke up in the small room she had been waking up in for over a week. She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist. She had no idea what her role here was, but she assumed that it had something to do with the baby in her womb because they were always giving her food for two people and as such, she had added a lot of weight.She was still tall and slim and

    Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache. He hated being there; he hated that he had to be the one welcoming people.His eyes went down to his black suit and ran his
