***"Let me give you a ride to wherever you're going," Ethan heard Ruby's offer and the sounds of her footsteps as she ran after him. It would have been a good idea, but he couldn't afford to risk having his wife's wrath on him again, because of her."It's fine. I'll take the bus," he yelled but didn't stop running.In no time, he arrived at the hospital, his wet pants a testament of how he actually raced to the hospital. he met the whole family in front of the ER, waiting anxiously. His mother in law has the first to notice him. Almost immediately, a scornful expression crossed her facial features.She stormed towards him angrily and landed a slap on the side of his face. "Why are you just coming?" She screamed in his face."I... the bus..." Ethan stuttered. "Didn't you know you're supposed to be here earlier to run errands?" She continued screaming, "If anything happens to mother because of your laziness, I'll put you in jail. You good for nothing pervert!' she yelped, letting o

Few Days Later,The silence that descended the table was a little too weird to comprehend. Victoria looked at her son expectantly. They've literally been seated for ten minutes based on his demand, and he's still yet to spill whatever it is he had to say.'Anthony, we can't sit here for no reason, son. If you've got nothing to say, I'd like to go back into my room already'Rather than responding, be brought a cigarette to his lips and puffed out the smoke in Isabel's direction.'I've no time for your shenanigans, brother. If you'll excuse me.' Isabel spat out.'Get your little butt back on the seat, sister. it's going to be a very short talk.' Anthony said finally, staring his sister down. 'We are all ears!'.Anthony turned to face his father, Richard. 'Dad, what exactly called for the sudden change?'Richard's brows furrowed in confusion. 'What change? How?'.'Why is Isabel on the Candidate list of the next CEO?' he blurted out his question in one breath and took another drag of hi

It was the seventy third time Ethan was trying to get his wife to talk to him about the pregnancy. From the serious look on her face when she dropped the news, he could tell she wasn't playing a prank.She looked too serious to be pulling one, especially in a moment like this. They had long left her mother's and were in their apartment. So if she had just said that in the heat of the moment, can't she tell him now?'H- how did it happen?'. He tilted his head to the side curiously regarding his wife and waiting for her response.'That's the most stupid question I've ever heard, you ask.' Isabel growled, flashing her teeth at Ethan in anger.She didn't believe he would dare to question her.'Sorry. I'm just confused. I'm confused about a lot of things.' Ethan said in a lower voice.Isabel climbed onto her bed. 'Leave. I don't want to see you!''But we have to...'Isabel cut him short before he could finish his statement.. 'We don't have to do anything! Just leave. Go back to that we

*****The day of the voting came by swiftly, and as early as seven am, Isabel already left the home to her office. She intended to get the support of the board members for herself. If not all, at least most of them or the ones enough to take her above the fifty percent vote. It was going to be quite hard knowing some of the board members are narcissistic and narrow-minded humans who had the ideology that women shouldn't be put in place of power. Just like how Anthony had said it.Isabel had also made sure to send a message to her secretary to resume early as well. Immediately she entered the office, she met her secretary already waiting for her. 'So how many supports do you think I can get from the board members according to the number of members that nominated me?' Isabel asked.'About forty five percent. You'll get more if more members are moved by your manifesto.. That's the only way we can be assured of a smooth win' Her secretary responded."Some are also in support of your bro

Anthony stormed into his office, loosening the knotted tie around his neck. Out of frustration, he sent all items on the table crashing onto the tiled ground. Flower vases shattered, and paperwork went flying in the air. A fidgety assistant stood to the side, hoping silently that she wouldn't be turned against by her angry boss.'Get the Anabelle Logan on the phone now.' Anthony bawled out his orders as he continued pacing the office furiously.His assistant scrambled over to where his mobile phone laid and placed a call through to his grandmother. On the fourth trial, there wasn't still a response from her.'S- Sir..... She's not answering' his assistant informed, timidly.'Then continue trying!' He growled.The sixteenth time, and there wasn't still a positive response. Unable to keep still, Anthony impatiently walked into his sister's office. His mouth dropped open in awe when he noticed the presence of their rival in there.They were both having a conversation in hushed tones.'W

If they didn't find the body, remnants or valid proof that the Belinsky child died successfully. Their gang, alongside their families will all face the risk without mercy.Their clients were merciless and heartless and Vanders would do anything to avoid their wrath'The Belinskys still cause so much trouble for us even in their death!' Vander lamented bitterly in his mind.They were back to the spot where the damaged body had been kept. The spot when the damned goons had made a mistake by leaving the man unprotected.'Begin your search again in the environs.' Vander commanded'Search the tiniest place.. Do not overlook the littlest thing. We need proof. Whatever it might be. Do you understand?''Yes Boss!' The subordinates chorused... While the others dissolved and went in various directions an

William Otto stared out his office window, enjoying the sunrise view.. It was one of the sights he'd discovered to be quite therapeutic for him since young age. 'Sir, the coffee is ready'.William extended his hand to accept the coffee from his assistant, slurped it and slumped onto his seat with a heavy sigh.'Do you need me to do anything for you, sir?' his assistant's questioned.William rolled his eyes in exhaustion. 'Tell me what you're on today, Patrik. You're never this committed to doing little works like serving me coffee, arranging documents, and all. What's with the consistent use of 'sir'?'Patrik is William's long time friend who turned his assistant few months ago. Patrik never addressed Williams with courtesy and of course, he leaves menial jobs undone, stressing on the point that he's no servant boy. The sudden change in his assistant stirred reactions.Patrik did an exaggerated bow, in a way that his forehead almost touched his knees. 'Why? Do you not like the way I

There were too many people on the subway, everyone either trying to make it to that spot to get their train tickets, or trying to wait for the next vacant train to stop by. Ethan visually searched around for the man that had called him to meet. When he couldn't find him, he managed to find a coffee spot with less occupied space. He waited there. Coincidentally, his eyes met with that of a strange man whose eyes were studying him closely. Ethan squirmed. Not too comfortable with the attention. He tore his attention from the man and pretended to be busy reading a magazine. Few minutes later, he turned to check again. The man was gone.. Ethan didn't know whether to be relieved or scared. His mind traced to his inlaws and wife. Maybe they're starting to send a spy after him, to set him up or monitor his movements. He chose not to think about it now..Soon enough, a man clad in all grey stopped in front of him. Half of his face was covered in a cap. The rest of his face also concealed

We are here
They were all waiting for one person to arrive. Ruby continued to glare at William, pissed that he was here. “I still don't see any reason why he is here Lukyan.” Ruby called him directly now that everyone present in the room now knows. “We need him to testify against his father in the court later. Besides an enemy of my enemy is a friend even if it's temporary. “ Etham whispered to her. Ruby spared another harsh glance at William who gave her look that told how pleased he was to be her source of discomfort. Ruby thought she's had her share of surprise that day until the AI announced Drogo's presence askimg Lukyan to give them entry. Them because Drogo wasn't alone. Ruby watched the door with expectant eyes as Drogo filed in, followed by Tony and a battered blindfolded man.. Tony pushed the blindfolded man to the floor, blood smeared the it as the man tried to gather himself up. In addition to the blindfolded, his mouth was gagged and his hands were tied behind his back. “A p
A visitor
“You have a visitor Will.” The officer informed him..William frowned, wondering who it could be. Has his father developed a remorse of his un-fatherly actions and wanted to right the wrong?Nah. William shook his head.“Who is it?”It's your uncle.” The officer replied over his shoulder. William halted. His father's brothers didn't give a hoot about family, why would they visit him all of a sudden.“Hey! Hurry up. I ain't got all day.” The officer yelled at him. William wasn't led to the usual visiting room. He was led to a more.lrivaye one hat a detective would use to interrogate a prisoner for details instead. “Who the heck could that caring uncle be?” William wondered out loud as the office urged him into a room.The bloody hell!” William yelled as soon as he saw who was seated waiting for him.Ethan and one other man he didn't know. Ethan looked at the officer and nodded at him to leave them in privacy. “Hey! Hey!!!” William yelled whn this officer locked them in.“I'd prefer
You'll see
The best they could do by themselves was make the study rid of dust so to recieve Mr Alexei Javi who was probably running down this way with his shadow behind.As soon as they were done, theybwere informed of his presence.“Sir Zaitsev, you have a visitor.”“Scan and see if you recognize his face,” Ethan replied the AI with a smile, knowing that it knows who Alexei was. It just simply felt good to be him again.“Alexei Javi, Chairman of Javinsons hotel. Would you like further information on him sir?” it replied.“No, thank you.”“Approve or deny entry?”“Approve.” Minutes later, a man in his seventies still with a youthful energy around hims burst into the room as if the fact that he had been given entry was not enough proof that Lukyan was alive. As soon as he reached the threshold of the study, he halted. Eyes shifted from Droho to Lukyan. “You.” He breathed, staring at Diego. His eyes softened and Justine was filled with relief. “You're here too.”Drogo smiled. “But…” He stared
As you live
Two hours later, Drogo and Ethan were leaving the coastal countryside with flash drives and documents from the smaller rectangular boxes in the treasure chest at the Ivanov's resident. They also didn't leave without having some money transferred to Polina and a promise to visit her again in the future.Now they were headed to Ethan's grandfather's beach house in the rental car.“I'm thinking of having Polina work for us after I resuscitate Belinsky Enterprises. I'm going to focus on how restaurant and food production part.” Ethan shared his thoughts with Drogo who responded with a small smile of approval.They got to the beach house in time. Outside, the building was beauty to behold but Ethan knew that the inside would be crawling with all kinds of creepy and stray things. After his grandfather's death, all of the workers had been dismissed including the housekeeper or do he thought until he saw a hunched figure in a black coat and a checkered print tweed flat cap hurrying out ofa cr
So long
The childlike giggle high-pitched by excitement travelled far thanks to the wind that came with the push and pull of the seawater against the sand, creamy white foam lining the tip. There were three figures playing on the sand, two wore blue shorts and were shirtless while the third one wore a green one with a tank top on. They all had light blonde hair. “I'm counting now!” The third one yelled, sounding feminine. “One! Two! Three! Stop!” The boys froze. They both found it hard to control their laughter as the girl chose which to go after. The game was simple. She had a maximum of three leaps to make it tonome person. If she does touch whichever she picked in those three leaps, then the person touched will replace her in he middle and do his counting. Between the two boys, one could tell which was older very easily. The one on the right hand of the girl was taller and older-looking than the cute little boy on her left who was about his elbow high. They all resembled each other so i
Satisfaction
Isabel's spirit seemed to drop further into despondency with each step she took down the stairs. Wrapped in a wool robe and her hair in a towel of the same material, her finger traced the silver railing of her stairs as she descended slowly. She's just had the loneliest heartbreaking bath. Despite the essence she had added to her bath water that was meant to help her feel great afterwards, her body still ached. And parts of her she couldn't exactly identity. She was sure if one thing however. That she was numb from head to toe. She's done enough crying to last a year, her tear ducts were probably tired and wouldn't produce any more of the salty liquid even if it was prompted to. Her slow descent finally came to an end and she had eventually reached the end of the stairs. Her eyes roamed the house at an unrushed pace, slowly taking everything in and noting how empty—super empty the house seemed to have become. Could one person really make such an impact? She asked herself, huggin
Silver
“You know, you could have just let Ruby drive us to wherever this Thai restaurant is than is having to ride in your car.” Ruby looked outside as she strapped the seatbelt across her chest, silently praying that no one else saw her go into his car. “Thank you but I'd rather not be seen in a Cosmo purple car. Who drives such a colour around nowadays.” Tony put on his seatbelt to and leaned forward to assess the tightness.“Uh excuse me, it's called being unique.”“You're certainly standing out.” Tony teased. “Well sorry if you can't stand a little colour because you're used to the greyness of your world.” She tapped the side of the vehicle lightly with her knuckle for emphasis.“Silver.” Tony corrected as he pulled out of the lot. “It's silver Lolly.”Ruby's eyes jutted together. “Lolly?”“Your car looks like grapefruit flavour so…” Tony explained.Ruby opened her mouth as if to say “the audacity!” “Look, I have varied taste. I'm not restricted to a colour okay. You know what, when n
Guy in black suit
Ruby's body perked up the instant she saw him wall out of the building. “Go after him!” She tapped the shoulder of the driver's seat eagerly.“Who?” Jena asked.“The guy in the black suit.”Jena scanned the parking lot of Logan Industrial Group and found he oerosj her boss was suddenly enthusiastic about. “Tony?” She blurted out thoughtlessly, wincing quietly when she realized her slip-up.“You know him?” Ruby watched Tony speak to someone in his phone. He looked attractive with his hands on his waist and his face switching to serious to slightly less serious as he conversed with whoever was on the other side of the line. Today was sunny and his gelled hair was shiny under the rays of the sun. “Yeah. Tony Ecaudor. Just by name. You know from people I've worked with in the past.” Jenner did her best not to stammer and raise further questions from Ruby. She watched Tony end the phone call and got out his car keys.“Quick! Drive up to him. Quick quick!”Jenner did her fastest starting
Signed
Isabel didn't wait for the car to completely stop. She couldn't. The words were still playing over and over in her head. “Ethan signed the divorce papers sweetheart. You're now a free woman.” As soon as her father had said those words, the driver had stopped the car while she asked—rather, demanded what he was talking about and why the divorce papers had her signature on it even when she had no recollection of ever signing the divorce papers. “You don't remember? It was the day we ate together at the restaurant.” Her father had answered before closing the door, leaving her even more consterned.She rushed past the guards and servants welcoming her, not bothering about her belongings still in the boot of the car. A light shower has started, miniature droplets of it getting soaked up by her blazer. She burst through the front door, eyes wide and searching as she scanned the premises. It was empty and her heart did a painful lurch. Next, she ran up the stairs to the bedroom and with
