When some of the servants and guards rush to check him, to see if he is okay, he pushes them away with vex. “Get out me!” He yells. He limps into the house, throwing his face here and there as he looks for his father. “Father! Father!” He yells from more anger, not pain. He keeps walking around, bumping into walls to manage to keep walking. He finally sees his father in the sitting room, sitting in quietness, with a very tall and beautiful woman. She is not one of his concubines. She is very well dressed and they are whispering and smiling like business confidential. James is covered in instant shame. He is standing here, all covered with sweat and some of his clothes have been torn, blood is on

Andrew stands there, transfixed with confusion as his clothes fall like rain from upstairs. Ruby jaw is on the ground! What's her parents doing?! They spoke about this! They weren't supposed to say anything to Andrew! She rushes up the stairs to stop this madness, but she can't control both of her parents at the same time. Andrew stays down, trying to catch as many of his clothes as possible. “Mum! Dad! What the hell are you doing?!” Ruby tried to drag Andrew's bag from her parents. “He should leave, Ruby! I won't stay here and allow this useless man to spend another day in this house! He is a leech to this family and he should go away!” Thomas yells. The Sanchez family is so evil. The evil side is showing on Doreen and Thomas' faces as they throw Andrew's belongings at him. “Mum and dad, what's happening?” Andrew asks with pain. “How are you saying that the house I bought is not mine and that I should leave?!’ Now Doreen and Thomas have descended the stairs, they fold their h

Uma hasn't stopped asking about her father and she is grateful that Andrew is not being a dick, he has continued to call Uma every day. He also speaks to Ruby on the phone, but he intentionally avoids bringing up the situation of the anonymous partner's proposal. The other day, when she forcefully brought it up and begged that they speak on it, he told her that he wasn't going to hold a grudge against her. He said that he was cool with whatever decision she chose to take. She drives to the office. She knows that work will get her mind off what's happening.

Andrew finally shows up at the house after five days. Uma sights him from her bedroom window and she screams the whole place down as she rushes into her father's arms. This is the happiest that Ruby has been in days now. She watches with her hands folded and a smile on her face. Her parents are standing like bodyguards with stiff looks on their faces. They have agreed not to fight Andrew in front of Uma, but they have given him only ten minutes. If he is still in the house after then, they are going to drag him out by his front teeth. Thankfully, Uma has not noticed anything. It pains Ruby to lie to her child, but she told Uma that her father traveled on a long trip. Thankfully, the young girl is not suspecting any foul play. “Daddy! Daddy! I have missed you so much!” She clings her tiny hands to his neck. “I have missed when you read me night stories!” “I've missed you too, my princess!” Andrew smiles at her. “Tell me, have you been a good girl to your mother and grandparents?”

James screws his face with disgust as soon as he hears those words from his father. His father did not tell him that he had invited Andrew Carter into their house, but he also didn't even tell him that he was going to make Andrew his guard. As soon as those despicable words leave his father's mouth, he stands up with very great anger. “What the hell is this, father?!” He barks. “You invited this dog into our house and now you want to make him your personal bodyguard?!” Even though James is raging in anger, Henry is not alarmed at all. He isn't even looking at James, he is still staring at Andrew, waiting for an answer. Andrew looks at both father and son. Not knowing what to say to this. He sighs as he leans against the chair. “Uhm, I don't think your son would like that very much.” Andrew points at James. “You are so fucking right about that!” James shouts. “I should have fucking killed you when I have had the chance!” James stands up, as if he wants to attack Andrew, but hi

James doesn't want to believe what he has heard, so he refuses to buy what Phil is saying. He doesn't want to believe that a member of the Sanchez family suddenly wants to help him. James keeps the gun pointed at Phil, he even adds a snarl on his face. “What, you think I'm stupid? You think that I don't know that you are trying to play me?” He barks. “Who sent you? You thought I was going to be easy to deceive, didn't you?” Phil is crumbling with fear. The closer the gun gets to his head, the more he shakes and winces. “Sir, I swear to you that I am not here to deceive you.” Phil goes down on his knees. “I want to have my revenge against that man too,that's why i have come to you.” “And I'm supposed to believe you? When you have more to gain if your cousin gets married to that man?” “Ruby and her parents, together with every other member of the Sanchez family, might have alot to gain from the conjugation of my cousin and that man, but not me.” He says. “My father else sent to j

There is a secret that Henry Jackson has been holding in his heart for the past four years now. He met a woman. She wasn't anyone special, she was just someone he used to satisfy his sexual needs.

After the one night stand he had with the mystery lady, he paid her a hefty sum, he didn't want her to contact him, but she found his assistant's number and begged to speak to him.

When James was sixteen, he disturbed his father for months because he wanted his first tattoo and his father said no. He didn't give up, he did better in school, he cleaned up, he did everything so that his father gave him the chance to get a tattoo. Henry Jackson wasn't a fan of tattoos, in fact he hated them. They were tacky and he preferred a smart appearance for his son. He was going to take over his father's businesses someday, Henry didn't want him looking like a canvas with graffiti on it. But when James wasn't backing down, he decided to get one, but under the condition that he was going to pick the location. He picked the side, across the ribs and he did that because it was typically one of the most painful parts of the body to be tattooed. He did that because he wanted to discourage his son from getting any future tattoos. James took the pain like a champ and when he became older, he got several more. It's that same tattoo that he is staring at and he knows, without a d

Everyone is shocked as their eyes follow Andrew to the front. The Sanchez family seems to be having a heart attack. They think that Andrew is walking to the front to disrupt the wedding. Mister Thomas rushes to the front, charging at Andrew, but before he gets to them, two soldiers restrain and tackle him to the ground.“You dare you?!” The angry soldier asks. “Oh, sir, was trying to clear the fool from disrupting the wedding. The anonymous partner is going to be here soon and I don't want him to encounter this nuisance.” Thomas says, shaking with fear. The scowl on the soldier's face grows even more. “THAT'S the anonymous partner, you fool! How dare you lay your hands on him?!” Thomas' jaw slacks even more. It's like a complicated math equation, because he can't understand the words that just came out of the soldier's mouth. Andrew is the anonymous partner?! And the overlord? The greatest commander of the army?! Is this a prank?! Is this a joke? Well, if this is a joke, it's

It's been five days and Henry has not heard from his son, James. It's normal for James to just give himself a sudden vacation and organize on orgy on one of those exotic islands, but the usual thing is that he never called his father. His father has tried to get people to track his son down to the last location and his phone, but it doesn't sum up to anything useful. It's like his son has disappeared into the thin air. He is on the phone again, looking out of the window of his office. “Are you trying to tell me that you can't help me find my son?” “Sir, it would have been easy to track him with his phone, but we have not been able to see any sign of him.” “So, what are you saying?” “I hate to say this, sir, but I think that maybe your son doesn't want to be found.” “That's absurd. James wants nothing more than to be my heir. He would never run away like this. Something is wrong.” Henry insists with a sad tone. “But sir–” “I won't be taking no for an answer. Do your research a

On the day that Jasper is buried, the sky is gray and there is a heavy pour down. That doesn't stop the family, friends, and loved ones to come and pay their last respect to Jasper Banks. His coffin is white with golden rims. There are so many flowers and even their bright colors are not enough to lift the depression that is everyone's heart. There are over two hundred people there and that's because there are security guards around to keep the occasion strictly based on invitation. Everyone else is across the street, watching with sorrow. The minister is soaked to his bones. His Bible is drenched with praise, but that doesn't stop him from raising his voice high and declaring that Jasper is now in heaven. Everyone is quiet. Jasper's parents are standing right in front of the coffin and their calmness and dried eyes tells that they have not recovered from the shock of the death of their son. Occasionally, a voice breaks into loud sobs and stops, only to repeat. It's Adriana. She

They are all standing in shock – Adriana, James, and Ella too. They all know about the overlord, he is the greatest force in the army. Even the president of the country respects and holds this anonymous man in the highest esteem. He is feared everywhere around the world. He is a great man and they are all in awe of him. But surely, this has got to be a big joke! Andrew Carter, the useless son-in-law, cannot be this big and important man! And being the anonymous partner?! The person who has turned the Sanchez empire upside down! How can he be the same person that is standing in front of them?!Adriana is the first to laugh with her shoulders and her eyes squint with humor. “This has got to be a joke, right? I'm supposed to believe that Andrew Carter is suddenly a very important person?” She scoffs. She soon learns the hard way because a soldier angrily uses the butt of his gun to hit her behind her knees and forces her to fall to the ground. She grunts with pain as she falls on

Because Adriana has forced them to, they spend the next hours in the living room. In absolute silence. Jasper’s body is on the ground. Scarily stilled by death and Phil thinks he is just imagining it, but Jasper's hands have turned a dull gray. Maybe his spirit is moving around the house, staring into their faces and shaking his head. Uma has kept her eyes away from the body. She is traumatized by what she has seen and would probably have to go to therapy for it.Adriana has lit a cigar again. She has smoked up to four in just a few hours and she doesn't look like she is slowing down any moment soon. She just killed her fiance and she threatened to kill her cousin and niece. She needs all the nicotine in those blunts to calm her down. She is waiting for James again. She hopes that he comes very soon. She hears a car drive up front and she immediately jumps up to her feet. “Look alive, people. James is finally here.” She turns around and sees that Uma has tears stains on her fa

Adriana is shocked. They were very discreet with their movement, how is it that Jasper has found her?!He breezes past and she is too shocked to stop him. As soon as he enters the house, she shuts the door before any more attention can be drawn to them. She looks far from pleased to see him. The city is a long way from here. How did he even find her? He is looking around, straining his neck this way and that. It's as if he is expecting the kids that he is accusing her of kidnapping to pop out of nowhere. “What the hell are you doing here?!” She asks him. “You have gone so low, Adriana. You are now kidnapping children?” She scoffs and folds her hands with the likeness of a scolded child. “You have no idea what you are talking about, Jasper.” “Oh, don't lie to me! I've known you for too long, I can hear you lying right in my face!” He scowl at her. “What the hell do you take me for?” “You know, I've been trying to tell myself that you haven't changed that much, but I will be ly

Phil forgets that he is a very sick person and has picked up smoking over the days. He has never been a smoker before, he just picked it up because he was depressed and needed something to calm him down every now and then. He heard Ruby mentioning that she was busy with work and might find it hard to squeeze out time to pick Uma up from school. Thomas and Doreen have been very busy lately. Since the anonymous partner made his intention towards their child known, they have suddenly become important in the Sanchez family again. They used to be sidelined and ignored, they used to be rubbished and insulted, but in just a few minutes,they have turned into those that they once hated. They barely spoke to Phil, it was like he became one with the walls. He is not relevant to them anymore. At least Ruby asks how his day is going every now and then, but Thomas and Doreen are just as bad as William Sanchez and Adriana. They have gotten high positions in the company. It's going to become
