"And you think he likes you?" Bri asked with a smile written all over her face, she was probably more excited than Dora herself who seemed indifferent. "I'm assuming," Dora replied, "He looks like one of these secretes rich men, and if there's one thing I know about this set of people, is that they are mean and ruthless, I don't want to put myself in a sticky situation... plus, I'm still not certain that he likes me." "Girl," Bri exclaimed and threw herself on the bed where Dora lay, "Where is the Dora that said she'll go with any man she sees, rich poor, as long as she gets pregnant... "I never said that," Dora argued. "That was two days ago," Bri interjected with a smirk. "I know, but I didn't say it like that, I have had a change of heart okay, he's a nice man, he saved my life, he kept me company, that's good and fine, this is not a storybook world where we just magically fall in love and have a happy ever after." "You are overthinking," Bri said, taping her on t
"Oh, hey, I didn't expect to see you here," Oscar replied with an expression of surprise. "Yes, I came back here later when she got back from work, you already know my reason," she uttered immediately followed by a slight chuckle. "By the way, hope your friend is fine?" He asked and Dora raised a brow wondering what he meant by that. "She had gone to put off the cooker, hope the food didn't get toasted because of me?" "No, not at all," Dora replied before he could finish his statement. She could barely take her eye off him, because, unlike the other day, he was too charming, the car behind him was the same as yesterday, but what kept her puzzled the whole time was the pack in his hand. "Oh no," she thought, "Now he's buying me gifts, what for? what is that even? flowers, bracelets? sigh Dora, it may not even be for you so just shut up." "Are you free to go out? like for lunch?" Oscar's voice disrupted her train of thoughts. He had rehearsed this request so many times in
It was past midnight when Oscar got back to the Slytherin mansion, and he couldn't wait to hit the bed because despite how comfortable the first-class aeroplane might be, it would never beat the comfort of his king-sized mattress. He already had a lot planned for the next day, and as long as nothing ruined that for him, Oscar was more than excited to be back. "Welcome back, sir!" The voices of guards and maids welcomed him from all corners of the mansion, but he was too sleepy to respond. Before going to bed, he checked his phone to see if he got a text or at least a missed call from a strange number, which he wished was Dora but saw none. So much for taking his mind off her. He had a peaceful night's rest, but the same can not be said for the morning. Oscar woke up with the most insane headache, feeling as though his brain had swelled up so much and was on the brink of exploding by the second. At first, he blamed the lack of sleep and decided not to get out of bed for anoth
"I overheard the argument," came her mother's voice from behind the couch. Ellen quickly wiped off her tears and said, "It's nothing to worry about, why do you care so much anyway?" "Hmm," her mother sighed heavily before taking her seat on the same couch that her daughter lay on, "What is it this time?" She asked, but Ellen did not respond, she just kept her eyes fixed on the blank television screen as if no one was speaking to her. "You know, I've been thinking about this for a while, Oscar is going to do everything he possibly can to make sure we suffer worse than... than we put him through." she stuttered. "We?" Ellen asked her, "We did not do anything mom, it was all you, don't impose anything on me, you and Father are the cause of all of this." "I'm not blaming you, Ellen," she cut her off "I'm only saying that he will do anything possible to have his revenge in double fold." "What makes you think that I don't already know that he would do that?" Ellen asked
"Are you okay lady?" one of the cops approached Ellen and helped her up to her feet. "Thank you," she uttered but was too stunned to even speak about her car that had just been taken right before her eyes. "Don't worry mam, we will get the car back to you in no time alright? we are on it," the cop tried to assure her, and at the same time another man, tall and muscular approached them from behind and asked. "Is the lady okay?" That voice sounded too familiar and Ellen quickly turned around to see who it was. Sure she had no idea who the man was, but she had seen him because he seemed to be with Oscar wherever he went. And Tom on the other hand recognised the lady in front of him, quite a coincidence that she was the one whose car was stolen. "It's you," he said to her, the fact that she was Oscar's ex-wife whom he now despised, doesn't mean he should be apathetic all at once, besides it was for Oscar to deal with not him. "Hi," Ellen mumbled, staring at him like she had
Later the same day, Oscar was visited by Stephen, the same spy who he had sent to investigate the mysteries concerning his father's disappearance. At first, Oscar only assumed that Stephen had come to see him after his return from travel, because he believed that one week was not enough to carry out the assignment, but turns out that he was wrong. "I'm sorry about your health sir, I believe that the trip must have taken a toll on your health," Stephen said, occupying the seat next to Oscar in the living room. "Thank you, Stephen," Oscar acknowledged, but he wasn't going to mention anything related to the incident at the hall. "I will just go straight to the point sir, so that you can get back to rest... "No, take your time," Oscar interjected, "I've been resting all day, so I'm all ears." "Okay, sir." Stephen nodded and cleared his throat. "I'll start with the day you gave me this assignment because I began my research that night." "I came across a bunch of articles as to ho
"I'm sorry, what do you mean?" Oscar asked in shock. "Well, he didn't give us any other information on that matter, and to be honest, there is nothing we haven't done to force him to speak up but he truly doesn't know where Aston Slytherin is hiding. The only thing he told us was that Aston did not want anyone else to investigate his disappearance, which was why after he disappeared, their unit offered to investigate without being called by the Slytherins. " "All the other detectives lost their lives and they did all of this to scare others so they would not take the job in case they were called, and they made up some pretty believable story just like the one that detectives had told you, just to make it seem like they were working towards finding the truth. He wasn't sure whether or not Aston himself funded this ordeal, but he most likely did, so the question now is, why would he? And where is he?" Stephen ended his narration with a long sigh and waited to hear what Oscar would s
6:43 pm The same day Oscar had gone alone with Leo and Tom to the hospital to see his mother, although he was ill, Oscar wanted to be there when she woke up. For some reason, he wanted to be the first person that she saw as soon as her eyes opened. When he got to the hospital, the doctor could barely express how excited he was to see Oscar alive, having survived that traumatic event in the Netherlands, he could not hold back his joy. When he took them to the ward, only Oscar was allowed inside, seeing his mother's face once again brought joy to his heart. Although she might not even be his biological mother, having to look at her and say that she was his mother was a big deal to Oscar because, for the past twenty-six years of his life, he had never experienced it. He drew near her and ran his finger down her cheek, seeing her breathing was such a good thing for him, because the poor lady could have lost her life if not for the intervention of that doctor, and this reminded him
