"What? But we had already decided on it. There's no time for procrastination. We have to do this immediately. Tell me where you are, I'm coming over." Bryan flared up but Janet remained silent.Realizing that he just raised his voice at Janet, he started apologizing. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I didn't mean to do so, it's just that there's a lot at stake here if we keep procrastinating.""How dare you yell at me? And how's that my business if you have no time? It's your problem, not mine. You should be grateful that I offered to help you. If you get me angry, then I'll withdraw my help and you can do it yourself. All I know is that I'll take a walk when you start being stingy to me." Janet yelled back at him and Bryan had no choice but to remain silent."I'm sorry." Bryan apologized again and Janet chuckled."You know what, I just changed my mind. It'll be better if you hire someone for this job. Just call me when there's something I can do, which is mainly to shop."Janet rudely

"Jess, please wait up." Jesse continued to run and Arthur followed behind her. He was confused and worried that something he did must have offended her. She soon got to her car and was about to get into it but Arthur held her hand and prevented her from getting in. With her heart pounding in her chest, Jesse folded her arms and looked away while trying to catch her breath. Arthur drew closer and searched for her face but she refused to look at him."Are you okay Jess? Is anything the matter? I hope I haven't offended you in any way?"Jesse was silent.Gradually, Arthur lifted her chin and began to turn it to his face. Jesse tilted her face again, refusing to make eye contact with him. She looked so confused."Jesse, talk to me please. Why are you running away from me?"He lifted her right palm and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel my heartbeat? It beats only for you. I love you Jesse. I know that we've only known each other for a few weeks. However, I can't deny the feeling I hav

Rosaline was at Janet's residence first thing the next morning. As she knocked at the door, Janet and her mother thought it was a neighbor who had come to disturb their beauty sleep."Please go away. It's still early in the morning to knock on someone's door."Rosaline knocked harder the second time and subsequent times and Janet had no choice but to go and open it. After all, It was already past 7am and any working class or business person should be awake by that time. Unfortunately, the Hudsons were lazy people except for Irene who was busy with school work.Janet opened the door and was greeted by Rosaline's dirty look on her.With her mouth agape, Janet stared back at the woman in perplexity. What was she doing in her house that early? "Who is it, Janet?" Stella's voice came from inside but no one replied to her."Are you going to keep staring or let me in?" Rosaline snorted coldly and Janet quickly made way for her by stepping aside."Of course ma'am. Welcome to our home. What b

Janet swiftly ran to the door to make sure that Rosaline had truly left the place. Indeed, she was nowhere close. She heaved a sigh of relief and made her way back inside to get her phone."What just happened, Janet? Why is she acting like her son is a twelve year old boy?"Janet shook her head. "She's just overprotective of Bryan. Unfortunately for her, Bryan doesn't listen to her as he would do anything I ask him to do. Like she said earlier, he's so obsessed with me."Janet left her mother in the sitting room and went to her room to get her phone. With the phone in her hand, Janet dialed Bryan's number and he picked up immediately."Hi Janet, how are you doing? I hope you have forgiven me for yelling at you yesterday? It wasn't intentional and you know it. And I hope you had a…""Bryan." Janet yelled at him and he stopped talking.He was wondering why she was angry so early in the morning. Was something wrong with her? What had happened?"Janet, are you okay? You don't sound alrig

Jesse looked away and replied to him. "I'm not avoiding you. I just forgot something in my office and I was heading back to collect it before you interrupted me. You should just get to work while I go back to my office."Arthur was without a word.It was clear that the lady was avoiding him and she was denying it.He reached out to hold her hand but stopped halfway. Jesse, on the other hand, turned her face on Arthur and almost screamed."What happened to your face? Are you sure you're ok? No, what am I even saying? You're not ok."She furrowed her brows and stared intently at Arthur who was giving her a pleading look.Jesse shook her head. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"Tilting his face, Arthur lifted his hand and began to scratch his head. "Ugh. Actually, I… You're right. I kept thinking about you and the fact that you refused me."Lifting his head, he rubbed his hands on his face and faked a smile. "Jess, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. Please, just give me a chanc

Arthur swallowed hard before turning to the man with a smile that didn't reach his eyes."Ugh, actually Nick. I was going to tell you about them but it keeps skipping my mind. Tell me, have you seen them around recently?"Nick shook his head. "Not after the last time they embarrassed me.""Ok, ugh. Actually, they're my highschool mates. I used to be cool with the girl but she was turned against me by the guy who was known for bullying naive students those years in school. They kept taunting me because my family was not rich like theirs." Arthur lied. He fixed his gaze on Nick to see if the man believed him. However, the look on his face was suggesting otherwiseNick stared at him for a while and asked. "If the guy was the bully, why does the girl look more like it? I mean, the girl was the one who threw abusive words at you and even poured water on you. It was the same girl who spoke to me rudely."Nick took a long pause but Arthur did not say anything. "From the way I saw it, the gi

The workers exchanged questioning glances at themselves and after a few seconds, they all began to exit the storage room one after the other and back to work.After walking out on the workers while claiming not to be mad, Bryan stormed out of the factory and made his way to Royal mall where he patiently waited for Arthur to come out. He wanted to vent his anger on him but unfortunately, he waited there for the whole time without seeing Arthur. Arthur already left the place some minutes before he arrived because his shift was over.After waiting there for some time, Bryan left the place and went back home.Meanwhile, Arthur went to visit an old friend since there was nowhere to go. Jesse had refused to hang out with him. She had been avoiding him since when he confessed his feelings for her. "But it was she who kissed me first, then why is she acting that way? Why is she denying herself love just because of what people would think?" Arthur muttered to himself as he walked into 'Probit

Morris was without a word. He just chuckled lightly and stood up from his seat. "S… Arthur, please can you come with me to the presidential suite for some refreshments? We have no guests there at the moment."The presidential suite was mainly reserved for Carl Ramon but it was occasionally used to host very important guests. That moment, there was nobody occupying the place so it was free.Arthur thought hard for some time and decided against it. He wasn't going up there to just eat. The place was also meant for relaxation. But what's the use of relaxing alone at the place when Jesse was not by his side?"Uh, Morris. I think I'll pass for now. I don't want to come to the place alone. If I'll use the place, then it would be with someone special by my side."Morris chuckled and threw his face on the ground. He was blushing for Arthur who began to laugh at him."Wait, tell me. Are you also in love?"Morris' mouth fell apart. He was stunned to hear that question from Arthur. That was the

“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny.

“But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

“Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope

“Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about
