Midtown High,Empire Tai Chi RestaurantJenny's POVThere is happiness. There is growing happiness in my heart. Some days, I used to be scared about who I am and what I was becoming. On other days, I would jubilate in my heart and appreciate who I was turning out to be. Today was one of those other days. It is amazing how you strive to be one thing and the universe describes you as another thing. I was Jezebel, the one who was ignored, embarrassed, tongue lashed and rejected. Now, I was Daniel's girlfriend and it felt so good to call him mine.Taking a sip of the champagne, I slowly cut through the grilled chicken, then lifting a piece with a fork, I munched on it, watching the studious glare of Daniel."You are a difficult book to interpret. Sometimes I feel like I know you, other times you're an alien. It's hard to believe you are here right now and we're together. I'm so happy, really am. Thank you so much," I said, holding his hands."Those are some interesting words and I will t
Midtown High,Empire Tai Chi Restaurant,Daniel's POV,This was my last day at Midtown High. My luggage was driven right now to the airport and by 2 pm I would be on the plane. I couldn't wait to meet Laura. It's been months and conversing with her last week reawakened the desires, loneliness and yearnings.It was another new kind of drive that pushed me through the hefty week, closing contracts and trying to keep in many meetings, since I will be shifting the headquarters to East Alley."...I have always wanted to operate from East Alley but Rick and Veronica didn't want me to. They said, the business space over there was choking and didn't think we would be able to work through it all. It was funny, you know, I had businesses running over there and the return on investments was remarkable. So, why didn't they want me to shift fully there? Daniel, we later found out, they were using East Alley for illegal businesses with those unethical general managers I placed there. I couldn't bel
"The company's cars belong to Laura now. Both of you should get that!" I thundered, staring coldly at Laura's parents.They returned a few days ago and it's been fun watching them rave and throw tantrums. They couldn't believe the company wasn't theirs anymore. And Laura? I knew she was enjoying it all but was scared to rub it on her parents' faces. "How could you, Daniel?" How could you do this to us?" Mr Stephen asked."You should stop asking those questions and stop all this. I'm not going to provide answers for them anymore, you got the documents to read through!"" We're your in-laws, Daniel and you had the f**'king guts to buy everything that makes us who we are! And you, Laura!, you let your husband do this to us? Your family? How could you allow such to happen?"Laura shifted, leaning against me, like I was some form of protection, "Mom, Dad, I want to hate you right now for everything but I will forgive you guys. And about the company, I got nothing to say. I'm sorry.""Wow,
East Alley Freedom Prison,South West Region,Daniel's POV"Hope the wardens have been good to you?" I grinned, staring at Mr Stephen's shrivelled face. He looked broken and lost like some fallen angel.He grunted, staring hard, "Why did you call me out here?""Take it easy, Papa. I got a deal for you and your sweetheart, that's if you are in""I don't do deals with the Devil! Is there anything else you wanna speak to me about?"" Alright, Mr Stephen, I guess you're enjoying here, then. At least I forget, they will be shifting your wife to Zone D of the Women's States Prison. She's been causing a lot of fights in her ward.""But Zone D is the fiercest women's zone in East Alley. She won't survive Daniel! Can't you do something?""I can't. Remember, you don't do deals with the Devil," I winked, getting up, "I will be going now, enjoy yourself and if anything happens to your wife, the wardens would let you know""Wait, Daniel," he swallowed, "The deal…I'm inter""That's a nice move, Mr
"Little wonder, you didn't want to leave hère. Next vacation, we're going to England. You need some change of environment!""But, Daniel...What are we going to do in England? It doesn't sound like calling, you know!" she protested."I don't care. If we go somewhere cozy, you will get addicted to something," I laughed, ignoring her fake red face, "C'mon, I'm just joking with you. We will visit Mexico next time, okay? You've always loved there and I'm sure Damian would wanna feel the Mexican air"She giggled, sniffing a bit, "You're just a clown, Daniel! A big clown! Are we almost at the airport?""I'm your husband, a handsome one, I replied, driving into the parking lot. A chauffeur from one of the Fortune companies was going to pick it up. Mrs Potts, this is all possible through you."Yeah, we are. Let's get in, the plane will be leaving in thirty minutes"We quickly rushed through the door, checked in the security and then ushered into the plane. The first-class suite was quite full,
West Alley,New York CityThe Oscar's Mansion,Laura's POV,"Good morning ma'am," the chauffeur said, trembling a bit.I stared hard at him. Everything in me wanted to hate him and hurt him so badly. He was the reason why my husband was gone. Didn't even know if he was alive and the Sheriff wasn't even dropping positive updates anymore."You should be in prison, you know? You dared betray my husband? Someone who helped you through hard times? You're just one of the lucky ones, if not I could have killed you by now," I hissed, ignoring his trembling lips, "What do you want?""I'm sorry for everything I did to your family, ma'am and for what I'm about to tell you… They shot Mr Daniel twice, I tried tracing his body but I couldn't get anything ”"Whaaaaaaaat!" I yelled, getting up, "Don't you dare tell me that, I saw them take him, not shoot him! I won't believe you! I can't believe you! ""You didn't but I saw it through the mirror, ma'am. They used a silencer, so that's why you didn't
Six Years Later.West Alley,The Oscar's MansionLaura's POV"Mama, Mama, look at what I did," Damian said, raising a paper filled with trees and houses."Wow, this is beautiful," I replied, patting his hair, "Ready to eat some strawberry pancakes?" "That's yummy, mama, can I get cookies too?"I laughed, still patting his hair, "Yes, Damian, you will get cookies and some warm milk, okay?""Thank you, he replied, getting down from his chair, then hugging me, "I love you so much, mama""Love you, too," I watched his tiny feet run off to the playground outside. He was going to do something naughty and probably mess up the garden again. I should go after him but we'll, the housekeepers and his nanny would do that.I strolled to the kitchen, washing plates, rearranging, arranging and trying to hold tears from dripping. Daniel, I wish you were here. This isn't what you promised me. Six years have gone and no traces! The Sheriff had closed the case and said they couldn't go on due to poor
Midtown High,Phase 7,The Grayson's Mansion,May's POV, "I'm glad you're home. Fidara and I were almost getting bored with everything here," I said, studying his features, "and your sister, Goldilocks, I don't know..she was just so cold to us, did anything happen to you guys six years ago?"He grunted, avoiding my gaze, "I'm glad you agreed to come here instead of your family's place. About my sis, nothing happened. We just lost contact or rather she stopped picking up my calls, then Dad later informed me, she considered me dead to her...I wasn't surprised, it was expected.""Wow... Your sister ruled you out of her life, that's strange. Are you sure you never did anything to her?""I'm not sure…a lot happened before we left and you know, we were never on good terms before.""You should talk with her… I think something died in her after we left. I'm so scared to converse with her these days, please talk with her.”He laughed, "Stop it, May, she ain't some serial killer or monster, yo
