He is not the only one who is confused, the rest of the workers are. "Look, I'm sorry to say, but I don't think that he would fire me. " Duke has never been more confident about something concerning Mister Jimmy. He has no reason to fire him and he has nothing to gain from it. Jim, without a word, takes his hand into his pocket and removes his phone. He scrolls through and taps on some icons before handing them to Duke. Duke takes a sharp breath of air, it's true. It's a text message from Mister Jimmy himself and it's short and simple. "Duke is fired."Anyone who sees it gets the clear message, but Duke doesn't understand why he is being fired. Even though he has the privilege of being married to the boss' granddaughter, he has been punctual and hard-working. "Why am I being fired?" Duke questions. " Shouldn't there be a reasonable reason for this?"Jim takes back his phone and returns it to his pocket. "Duke, I am as shocked as you are and I am sorry, but Lord Jimmy

It's a celebratory mood and a bit louder than usual and that's because they have just finished with their work. Jim would have told them to keep it down, but he lets him rejoice because it's worth it. They worked so hard and now that it's a job well done, they have every right to celebrate. "Okay, I am not shutting down the celebration, but I have to give this to you guys now. " He takes out the usual pay envelopes and hands them out to them. They are all happy, they all open their envelopes and look around at each other in surprise. " Man, this is like twice our salaries. " Carl comments. " What's going on?"" Turns out that Lord Jimmy is feeling more generous today. " Jim chuckles. " We were given bonuses.""Bonuses?" Andre's eyes widen in surprise. " He never gives us a cent more than we worked for.

They are left with these strange men who are pointing guns at them and this has to go to be the most confused that they have ever been. Brenda is looking at them coldly like she wants to tackle them to the ground and take their guns from them. " You can't just kill us!" Carl protests. " We didn't even do anything, we have spouses and kids waiting for us at home. "" Sorry, mate. " The leader shrugs. " This is life, sometimes shit just happens even though we don't ask for it. "" This is a stupid joke, I am getting out of here. " Andre hiss. He walks towards the front door, but the other man turns the butt of the gun at him and hits him right in the face with it. Andre takes a staggering step back and falls into Brenda's hand, he is bleeding from his nose, and his whole face is covered with blood. They had the slightest hope that this was a joke, but now they see that these men mean real business. The leader stands up and slings his gun over his shoulder and takes out a cigarette

They are too stunned to speak or even move and Brenda stares at the fallen dead body in shock. The men turn around, aiming at the thin air, trying to find out what or who took out their leader. " What the fuck was that?!" One of them yells. " Fire!"Gunshot comes at random and Carl and the others try to remain still on the ground. It's kind of hard given that they are shaken so much. It seems like a dream, but the bad guys start dropping to the ground one after the other with a loud groan of pain. " What the hell is going on?! We are going to die! We are going to die!" Carl cries out. Brenda is breathing against the fall and her hot breath meets her face again, she is thinking of how alone her wife is going to be if she dies tonight. A hand touches her shoulder and she scrabbles away from it. "Hey, you are good. You are okay. " A familiar voice tells her.

Melody is watching Duke's face as he sleeps. There is nothing prettier than a shirtless Duke with his messy hair on his face as he snores lightly. She wants to stare at his face all day and play with his hair. He is not a deep sleeper and he wakes up pretty early, but he is still sleeping by this time in the morning. He came back home very late yesterday, maybe that's why he is still sleeping by now. She takes a strand of his hair and rolls it around her finger as she watches his innocent face. She wants to kiss him but she doesn't want to ruin his sleep. She is still ogling at him when she hears the front door ring and she sighs. Who is coming to the house this morning?She just hopes that it isn't her mum or her Dad, she is not ready for them today, they are going to drain her and the day has not even started yet. She grabs her robe and puts it over her nightie and walks out of the room, trying to be as quiet as possible because she doesn't want to wake Duke up. She walks to

Duke finds it hard because Melody won't speak to him anymore, she won't even answer him anymore. He went ahead to make her an early lunch, spaghetti, and meatballs, but she won't eat it. She won't speak to him too and it's driving him crazy. " Are you planning to ignore me forever?" He drops the plate of food on the table since she has refused to take it. " Yes, Duke. " She answers. " I plan to starve myself to death. "" Trust me, this isn't as big as what is making it to be. " He tells her. " All of this between us, it's uncalled for. "" How do you expect me to feel, Duke?!" She angrily turns to him. " Your ex just shows up in our house unannounced and you expect me to do what? You never spoke about having exes before. "" Exes?!" He raises his hands in frustration. " You are going to speak as if you never had exes?!"Melody lets out a short laugh as if he has just insulted the living hell out of her. " I have a burnt face, Duke!" She shouts at him. " Of course, no one would e

Duke can't sleep. He is waiting in the living room for Melody to come back from wherever it is that she had gone to, but hours and hours have gone by and she hasn't come back. He is in the living room, sighing and worrying about her. He has tried to call her, but she won't pick up. He knows that she is mad at him because of Renee's sudden appearance in their lives, but she should at least pick up and let him know that she is fine. Damn Renee, they have been fine all this time and now she is going to ruin his perfect life. After waiting for another hour, he grabs his jacket and heads out of the house. He stops out and is met with the darkness of the night, it's as dark as Renee's heart. He closes the door and throws the keys into his pocket. He hears the sound of a car engine behind him. He turns around to see a cab, Melody steps out of the cab. She walks over to the house and he sighs with relief as he starts to unlock the door, at least she is back. He opens the door, waitin
