"I just wanted to say thank you." the butler said to me.

I shrugged his hand off of my shoulder and walked off. I had no time to get along with liars.

Clarissa left the mansion in her car and just as she reached her office, she made a call to someone who worked for her in a different country. She had given him a task to fulfil.

"Has it been done?" Clarissa questioned the man on the phone.

"Yes ma'am. Very soon the news will reach the Vandelson twins and they will have no other choice but to come here to handle the problem on their own." the man replied.

"Good job then. And I trust that no clues were left behind." Clarissa said.

"Not at all, ma'am. I made sure to be very careful. You will be free to do all your investigations when they leave your country to this one." the man replied.

"Good. You will receive your payment in a few minutes." Clarissa said and ended the call with a satisfying smile on her face.

"Finally," Clarissa said.

She did the transfer to the man and put her

    "What the fuck do you mean by the company caught fire?!" Dean shouted into the phone. Dean cut the call without listening to the caller's response to his question. "What happened?" Loki asked Dean. "Our company in another country caught fire and nothing is left of it!" Dean yelled. "The fuck!" Loki exclaimed. "How the hell did that happen?!" Loki shouted. "I have no idea. No clue in the world of what happened but Loki, we have to go there." Dean said. "Go there? But what about Trevor? We have to..." Loki was saying. "Forget about Trevor God damn it!" Dean cut in. "We have a bigger issue on our hands and we have to leave immediately! We have to get to the bottom of this! We already know the identity of Trevor so we can just continue from where we stop after we get back." Dean said to Loki. "Alright-alright!" Loki shouted. "I'll call the private pilot," Loki added while Dean walked to and fro in the room in frustration. "Come on. Let's go." Loki said, putting his phone in his

    I stood there confused about what to do. Houseboy? Was that the way the butler was supposed to introduce me? Judging by the situation at hand, I would say these are people who are related to Clarissa. Most likely her parents. If her parents want me out then I'm guessing she would have no power to keep me here. It's not like I'm of good use to her for the purpose I was first brought into this mansion. "What are you still doing here?!" Mr Charles yelled at me, causing me to flinch. Mr Charles looked down at the broken plate and then back at me. He took a deep breath as if he was trying to calm himself. "You are lucky I am in a good mood." Mr Charles said to me. If this was his good mood then I wouldn't want to see his bad mood. With my head bowed, I quickly walked passed Mr and Mrs Charles. I was about to exit the mansion when I suddenly remembered the pendant I had hidden away. I couldn't just leave it behind. I turned and headed toward the stairs. Mr and Mrs Charles saw me but d

    "Thank you," Clarissa said to her father and then turned to her mom. Mrs Charles looked to the far corner of the room. "You have my permission." Mrs Charles said. "Thank you," Clarissa said. "What I don't understand is why that young man didn't say he was your husband. The butler only told us he was the houseboy." Mrs Charles said. "He is indeed the houseboy. After all, I couldn't just kick him out after marrying him. Bad things would be said about me. I have to keep him here just for a while till everything about my marriage dies down among the public. While he is here he still has to make himself useful right?" Clarissa explained. "I suppose so." Mr Charles said. "So what is your plan?" Mr Charles asked Clarissa. "I mean, how do you plan on retrieving the stolen documents and bringing the Vandelsons down?" Mr Charles said to Clarissa. "It's something I am already doing dad. I can't tell you and mom right now. You two will have to wait until the time is right. I guarantee you

    Mrs Charles was surprised at her daughter's response but didn't say a word more. I walked in and placed the final plate of food on the table for the Charles family. I was about to leave when I suddenly heard Mr Charles' voice, "hey." Mr Charles said. I figured he would be referring to me and I turned around. "Sir?" I said. "Yes. That's not where to place the tray. Who do you expect to reach there?" Mr Charles questioned me. I looked at the tray I had just placed on the table. If he need it then he could have just asked his wife or Clarissa to pass it to him but I guess this is either laziness or it's a case of 'like father like daughter'. "My apologies sir," I replied Mr Charles. I picked up the tray from the table, "Where should I place it?" I asked Mr Charles, the tray still in my hands. "A space on the table where I can reach. Where else?" Mr Charles replied. Mr Charles stared at me as if I was an idiot who just didn't understand the right thing to do. I placed the tray as

    Mr and Mrs Charles, along with Clarissa, left for work. This meant that it was just me, the butler, and the maids left in the mansion. I had to put my plans into action now. Luckily for me, I saw the room Mr and Mrs Charles came out from this morning. I looked around myself while standing in the middle of the mansion with a bucket and mop in my hands. The task that Clarissa gave me would take forever to finish. I hate that woman. At least I know where to start from. Carrying the bucket and mop with me, I climbed up the stairs to enter Mr and Mrs Charles' room while they were gone. I reached their bedroom door but once I put the bucket down to be able to open the door, the butler popped up from nowhere. "What are you doing here?" the butler asked me. My heart skipped a beat on hearing his voice but I pretended to be calm on the inside. "Miss Clarissa sent me to mop all the floors of the mansion," I answered the butler."All the floors?" the butler questioned and raised his left ey

    Clarissa's ex was back in her life again and was there to stay. It took him some time to be able to get her direct phone number but he was successful and that was what mattered. "Zane how did you get my number?!" Clarissa yelled into the telephone, trying to hide her tense feeling. Without waiting for an answer, Clarissa, with shaky hands, put down the telephone, ending the call. Clarissa began to panic and blamed her stupidity for the awful mistake she had just made. "No-no-no! I did not just do that! He hates it when I do that!" Clarissa panicked. Suddenly, a knock came on Clarissa's office door. Clarissa jumped in fear as her heart skipped a beat. Clarissa had to place her hand on her chest and hold it there to calm herself. "Who is there?" Clarissa asked. "Ma'am, it's me, your secretary." the voice answered. "What do you want?" Clarissa asked, in annoyance. "I am so sorry to disturb you ma'am but I heard you shouting. I just wanted to check if everything is okay." the secr

    [Later in the evening, At Zane Murray's mansion.]Just as Zane Murray sipped his expensive wine, his doorbell rang. Zane waved away the maid which had brought him the wine and he remained seated on his sofa, while he stared at the wine bottle in front of him. After a few minutes, another maid of Zane's enters. "Sir. There is a woman here to see you." the maid said to Zane. Zane set his wine glass down on the glass table in front of him and then relaxed his back on his sofa, "and her name?" Zane asked the maid. "She didn't say." the maid answered Zane. "And you asked her already?" Zane questioned. "I asked but she refused to tell me." the maid replied Zane. Zane smiled to himself. He knew very well, who it was. "Tell her to come in," Zane instructed the maid and she left. After some time, the maid returned with a lady behind her. Without turning his head, Zane spoke to the maid, "leave us." Zane's maid left and a few seconds later, Zane turned to see that just as he expected, Cl

    [At the Charles family mansion]I feel so exhausted and at the same time, angry that I got nothing done in the end. This made no sense to me. How come nothing was incriminating in Clarissa's room despite the kind of person I knew she was? She must have dipped her hand into something illegal at some point. Or is all the secrets kept in her parents' room? That damned butler locked the door before I could get in and now that I'm done with the mopping, it's already dark. Mr and Mrs Charles will be back soon and so will Clarissa. I blame this error on myself. I should have begun from the top in mopping instead of going straight to Mr and Mrs Charles' room and getting the butler suspicious. I stood up from the floor and went outside to get rid of the dirty water. I was doused in sweat and smelled horrible. After getting out of the house with the bucket, I approached the gate but the security man stopped me. "I just want to get rid of this dirty water. Nothing else." I said to him. Th

    Clarissa arrived at the given address and stepped out of her car. She examined the appearance of the building with her gaze and went ahead to knock on the front door. The door was opened by the same doctor she was looking for and on recognizing Clarissa himself, the doctor made to shut the door as quickly as possible but Clarissa shoved him back. "So you did the entire thing on purpose?" Clarissa asked the doctor. The doctor parted his lips but no words came out. "Forget it. I have no time for this argument. Where is the result of the DNA test?" Clarissa asked the doctor. "I don't have it with me. I left it in the hospital." the doctor replied. "You son of a... " Clarissa's voice trailed off. "Get into my car right now!" Clarissa ordered. "I need those results right now!" she yelled. "There is no need for me to come with you. Do you want the result?

    [The next morning]Clarissa woke up in my bed while I was still asleep. She left my room and went into hers. After taking her bath and getting ready, she dressed up and left the mansion. The only thing that Clarissa had on her mind was the DNA test and she couldn't wait to get it and show it to the twins for them to do the comparison. Clarissa arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the doctor's office. She tried opening the door but it was locked. A nurse was passing by at that moment and Clarissa stopped the nurse to make inquiries. "Good morning ma'am." the nurse greeted. Clarissa ignored the greeting from the nurse and went straight to the point, "where is the doctor that usually stays in this office?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "Today is his day off so he's not going to come here for work until the next day." the nurse answered Clarissa. "Do you know where he lives?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "I am sorry ma'am but this hospital follows strict rules. Such which inclu

    "Oh, it makes a whole lot of difference because I do not want that to happen," Clarissa replied to Dean. "Hm. Hand what are you planning to do about it? Stop us? How exactly do you want to start that out?" Dean mocked Clarissa. "I can give you what you long for the most," Clarissa said to Dean."And what is that?" Loki asked Clarissa. "You may not know it but we are getting a good reward from Zane, that is after we succeed in what we were sent to do. Nothing you say could be any better." Loki added. "And I am sure that what Zane offered was not money. It's something else which I am yet to find out." Clarissa replied Loki. "You better keep your nose out of our business Clarissa. You know very well what we are capable of." Dean warned Clarissa. "Uuu, I'm so scared. Someone come and help me." Clarissa said to Dean in a mocking tone of voice. "I didn't come here to discuss what Zane offered the both of you but what I can give you two," Clarissa said. "Just go straight to the point

    I waited for Clarissa's response would be and my heart kept pounding fast each second I waited. I just confessed to Clarissa that I loved her. The same woman that made my life miserable in the past was the same one I fell in love with and I still can't comprehend how it happened. "I don't mind if you say no but please don't keep me waiting this long," I begged Clarissa. "Walker... I... I love you too." Clarissa said to me with tears in her eyes.I felt like a heavy burden just left my chest the moment I heard her voice. She loves me too. I couldn't contain myself anymore and I embraced her, lifting her and spinning around with her. Clarissa was shouting for me to stop while she laughed at the same time. I stopped and put her down. "You don't know how happy you have just made me," I said to Clarissa. "Thank you, Clarissa. And I'm sorry for fooling you the way I did before." I said to Clarissa. "It's all in the past now Mr Walker. I forgave you long back." Clarissa replied to me a

    I returned from the restaurant with Clarissa. She was so happy throughout even until we reached home. I couldn't believe this was the same person I was who had hated her in the past. Why was I fast falling for her? "Um... Walker? Why aren't you coming in?" I heard Clarissa ask me. Her voice brought me back into reality and made me realize I had gotten lost in thought and had stopped at the door. "Oh! Sorry about that. I kind of zoned out there." I told Clarissa and walked into the mansion. "Hey," I said. "Yes?" Clarissa answered while turning to face me. I thought about it again and again. Maybe I should tell Clarissa about my feelings for her. But what if she tries to take advantage of me through it? What if she doesn't feel the same way at all?The last thing I would want right now is a one-sided relationship..."Sir?" Clarissa said. "Hm? Nothing. Never mind that. Just go to your room." I said to Clarissa. Clarissa turned to leave but quickly turned back to me. "Sir... Um...

    I caught the fist and kicked the strange person's second hand when I felt it coming at me. The stranger shouted in pain and I dragged him out of the darkness only to find that it was Zane. "What the...! I thought I told you to stay away from me and my wife?! So you do not know what a restriction order is?!" I shouted. "Come out with my wife!" I shouted to the men I knew were still in the darkness. Two men stepped out, holding Clarissa and one of them had her mouth covered. "Run now that you have the chance to do so," I told those two men. The two men looked at Zane and then at each other. After a second or two, they took to their heels. I punched Zane square in the face and he fell to the ground. He sat up with a bleeding nose and blood leaving the corners of his lips. Zane looked at me angrily but he did and said nothing. After Zane was finally gone, Clarissa jumped into my arms. "Thank you so much!" Clarissa said to me as she cried on my chest. I patted her on the back. "Ever

    What the hell?! Dean?! Why would he so openly send men to search this mansion? And judging by the time the phone call had happened, Dean called right after I left his mansion. I looked through the rest and it wasn't difficult to discover that they were not able to find what they were looking for. But what was it that they were searching for? Dean is on to me for something but I'm not sure. Is he after me as me Walker or... Is he after me as Trevor Vandelson? I knew I had to be careful in whatever step I take from now henceforth. [Eight o'clock, the next day]I looked at myself one last time in the mirror after making sure that my tie was made properly and neat. I left my room and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something. What better than to take my wife with me? It's a party after all. I went into the laundry room where I knew she would be by now and she greeted me the moment she saw me. The punishment I gave her by making her my maid and cleaner humbled her after

    "Of course, we are friends me, Dean. That's why I'm going to cancel the meeting and attend your party." I said to Dean. "Wonderful. I'll be expecting the best out of you. It's not a party for the poor after all." Dean told me. I clenched my fists in anger, remembering how I was treated in my past life. No matter how my anger was, I never let it show on my face. I relaxed my hands and smiled, "I'm not a poor man so, you should indeed expect the best." I replied Dean. We shook hands and I left his mansion and entered my car. "Where to Sir?" my driver asked me. "My home," I answered. While the driver was driving, I couldn't help but let my mind trail off. What was all that for? This was supposed to be strictly business. I know I planned to be close to Dean and Loki Vandelson but they're offering my friendship on their own is suspicious to me. Do they suspect something? But how would they?

    I continued with the workload I had in my office and my phone rang. Probably, my brothers are calling to check up on me. I checked for the caller and instead of the name of one of my brothers being on it, it was a call from an unknown number. I answered the call and I recognized the voice speaking. "Good day me Walker. This is Loki Vandelson speaking." Loki said to me. "Happy to be hearing from you Mr Loki," I replied. "I called because of your partnership offer. Says in the documents that you would like a merge between our companies." Loki told me. "Yes. I made sure to do some research on your and your brother's companies. compared to others, yours are the best for the merger." I replied. "So what do you think about it?" I asked Loki. "I think it's best we meet in person and discuss it." Loki offered. "No problem. When do you want the meeting?" I asked Loki. "Let's say... By eight o'clock. Today of course." Loki answered. "Alright. I think my schedule is cleared by then. See
