I'm already exhausted from today's work." Rosaline was quick to respond and didn't want to give him any chance to bug her. Bryan went and sat close to her and the mother and son kept throwing glances at each other. He sighed and decided to speak up first, only that his voice was unexpectedly calm."Mom, I'm sorry for yelling at you over the phone earlier. I was not happy about what you did, that was why I acted that way. Please, I still need your support like before. Why did you suddenly change your attitude towards Janet?""Because she's a gold digger. All she has ever done was to take from you. Wait, I remember you told me that she was snatched from Arthur. When they were dating, did he give in to her excessive demands?" Bryan sighed before replying. "Mom, she's not making any excessive demands

Gregg waited for Rosaline and her son to leave for work before calling Oscar to come around. The latter, on the other hand, had not always been around Gregg because of Rosaline. However, it was so urgent that Gregg needed his presence."Hi boss. You sounded so urgent. What actually happened?" The man asked as soon as he was inside the room with Gregg. Gregg, on the other hand, kept pacing the room. He would stop once and kick anything he sees. "I'm still wondering how I let myself be used by strangers. Can you believe that I overheard their discussion last night. They framed my son and I believed them without proper confirmation. How can I be so stupid, Oscar?"Gregg bent over and fell on the floor where he began to sob. "I'm such a fool."Seeing his boss on the floor, Oscar ran to the place to help him up but he refused."I want my Son back. I want Arthur back here to take his rightful position in this house.Gregg suddenly stood up and reached for the duvet. He began to pull it ou

He had also gone to meet Nick and had gotten some tips."I like the tranquility of the beach side. It's always one of my safe haven whenever I'm down." Jesse said and Arthur glanced at her, a small smile making its way in his face."Yeah, it's a good place to think, especially at a time like this." He replied with a glint in his eyes. They got to a spot and sat down on the ground with Jesse resting her head on Arthur. It felt so good and peaceful leaning on Arthur's shoulder. Jesse had been in love before but none had worked out. However, she was convinced that Arthur won't give her trouble."Jess, why did you accept me even though I'm just a mall security guard? You could have fallen in love with someone of your class. Maybe a CEO or some corporate worker that has a good position in a rep

"Sir, I just got your message. I hope there's no problem?""If there wasn't any problem, I wouldn't be sending you this kind of message late at night. Just do as you're told."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Bryan managed to mutter and Gregg just gave him a dirty look."I'm not your Dad. And you should ask your mother to tell you all that you need to know. You both are worse than the devil. You're here enjoying what you didn't work hard to get while my son who worked hard with me is possibly suffering out there."Gregg turned his back and started to the Sofa before declaring. "I'm giving you ten minutes to leave my house, else I'm calling the police immediately."With that, Gregg took his phone and dialed a number."Hello, am I speaking with the police? Good, I'm Gregg McCain and please come over to my premise. I want some intruders to be whisked out of my house.

With a resolute mind, Arthur scurried into the elevator just to catch up with the girl. As soon as he got out, she was nowhere to be found.He browsed the place with his eyes and found that there was no one who looked like the girl around the place.

“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

“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 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
