“Enjoy,” the waiter said in a low polite tone and left with a smile and the tray. Wow. Isabel's eyes roamed the dinner before them as she chaffed her laps with her palm excitedly. Her cheeks was tinted pink with excitement. Dinner with her father. Who would have thought that it would take so many years for a childhood desire to come true?“Do you like it?” Her father asked with a smile too sweet that it appeared unnatural so it wasn't out of place for Isabel to pause get excitement and question it.“Looks really good,” Isabel replied with a nod as she wondered why her father was endearing out of the blue. He usually didn't have time for stuff like this. Or was he just as happy as she was regarding the new chapter they were both about to enter into? Isabel's directed her gaze to her plate as her father picked up his fork to proceed eating. The meal was baked salmon served with vhaffron rice, veg escabeche and chimchurri.

“I promise to everything to get them back. I'm sure there's a way to give them a better offer.” Luka leaned forward, the look in his eyes eager to prove. Ruby sighed. “Forget it Luka. They didn't pick your calls. They are clearly not longer interested in whatver you have to offer.”“I'm yet to offer you!” Luka blurted. “Excuse me?” Ruby's offended tone and sharp curve if she eyebrows was enough to tell him his sentence arrangement was implying the wrong thing. “I mean, I'm yet to tell them that someone is important and as sure-proof as you are was coming in board to invest. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to be affiliated with the very top financial company in the state because that'll boost heir market value.” Luka explained. “I sincerely think it's a waste of time.”“It's not!” Luka's tone was jarringly sharp it caused Ruby to jump in her seat.

It's the same as ever. The only difference is my eyes doesnt test up easily anymore except when I am emotional.” He joked with a laugh. Doctor Charles didn't stop his lips from breaking into a smile, amused. He believed that even though this man was on his death bed with only a few minutes to live, he would make out time to slip on a joke or two. “Have you considered retiring?” Doctor Charles said carefully as he helped his formed shrug into his suit. Over the years of managing his health, they've gone from e

“Then I can really retire but I won't be some oldie sitting gmdoing nothing. I'll have listening ears to tell all my stores to…”Ruby's father was still talking about the need for her to get married. They were heading to a photo studio to take a family picture together like they do once or twice a year for themselves and for publicity. Her grandpa was big on this sort of thing. “Great, that's why you set me up with Vanderbilt's heir.” I reminded him and he looked away. “You sound like I did he wrong thing. Don't blame me. I was only trying to help you. I wouldn't be doing so if my old dear friend's son was still alive. You and Lukyan would have been the best couple.”Ruby shifted in her chair uncomfortably. “Grandpa. Even if Lukyan was alive and we got married, I would have to move to London since that's where he doctors.”“I doubt that. Lukyan was coming to Idaho for business expansion before hat terrible incident. His father wanted to expand Belinsky by building a restaurant with

“Here!” Axel flung shoved his suit at Ruby. “Cover your nose. The not to inhale as much till I get you out of here.” He said, with one hand over his nose so that his nose was buried in the crook of his elbow. Swiftly, he turned around in time to face one of the team members coming at them while he spoke into the mic to alert the others downstairs. He stopped talking in time to dodge the blow swung at him. It wasn't long before another member joined in the fight. Axel knew he had to be fast, all of his moves had to be precise and impactful enough to atun hem out of his path. The aim wasn't to win.

“You really have to explain to me what is actually going on!” The harsh tone of her voice arrived before she did, announcing her presence. Tony waited until she was right in front of him before lifting his body into an upright sitting position. He groaned as his left shoulder throbbed painfully with the movement. “Can you not use that tone with me?”Jenner pursed her lips and took a moment to breathe before smoothing the sides of her hair that was now a mess of a ponytail with stray hairs pointing every which way. “I really don't understand you Tony. It's harder to beat up someone till they can't fight anymore than it is to kill them.” Jenner complained and watched as Tony winced in pain. They were at the back of a cathedral that had stone mounted at the side of its backyards. “I know that. Thanks anyways.” Tony got up and was about to move.“That's it?” Jenner stepped in front of him, blocking his path. She licked her lips, one side was bruised. “I need an explanation. Why did y

Isabel's eyes was on her father, trained on his every move. She noticed his slightly trembling hands as he packed up, pushed his chair and left. “Ask him to prepare a vehicle.” Her father instructed his assistant in a low voice and walked out of the conference room in long strides.Isaek chased after him. “Dad! Dad! What's wrong?” She caught up to him.“Nothing. Manage the rest of my activities while I'm gone. I have an important business meeting at two but I don't think I'll be able to make it.” Richard moved closer and dipped the tone of his voice lower. “It's about SmartNest.”“Yes Dad.” Isabel nodded and watched her father hurriedly go down the hallway to the elevator.“Wow!

The Son-in-law's Revenge A better explanation
“One of you better have one hell of a good freaking explanation why this mission went wrong!” Simon was already biting at them distances away where the rest of the Elites gathered.The Grid was an abandoned hopscotch children playground. It used to be lively but rumours had it that after the death of a foster kids who used to frequent the playground, things were never the same. A place of amusement and fun where children played with their peers became nightmarish. It has been deserted for a long time. The only people who probably came there were homeless beggars who retired on the benches for the night but on an afternoon like this, it was bound to be empty. Devoid of any sole. And the fact that it was shrouded by overgrown trees made it a good spot for a quick impromptu meeting such as this one. Richard, Reagan, Reginald and Bratté were standing in the middle in a distorted circle, awaiting Simon. Great. Richard grumbled in his thoughts. Take it out on us because it makes you feel

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
