'The patient dog eats the fatest bone.' There was such a saying that people commonly said. It was usually to encourage a person to be more patient and not rush into doing things because being patient might bring the beat results.

Most interprete the saying to mean that one should sit still while good things are available to be taken. What happens when the good stuff runs out? There'd be no bone left at all for the patient dog and he'll probably due of hunger.

But patience is not just waiting. It is the diligent approach to get something that one is after. The patient man looks for the best opportunity and goes after the best things that are available. That's patience.

Can such a thing be said about Robert Featherington?

He had been holes up in his house since they day he lost his company and his wife and son abandoned him but did not abandon his car. They had taken it with them. He hadn't been able to follow them because of the fear and embarrassment that he felt.

    James felt uncomfortable with the way Robert was looking at him. He doubted his father would be so easily forgiving to he and his mother after they abandoned him and took his car as they ran away from him.James stepped inside the house just because he had no choice but he felt uneasy by the way Robert looked at him."So, my dear wife." Robert spoke sarcastically. "Tell me really... What made you change your mind and come back to my house?" He asked the Rachel who had a stubborn expression on her face."What do you mean I changed my mind? I was always planning to return. And don't I have the right to be here as your wife?" She answered immediately.Robert felt a little anger from inside him when Rachel spoke in that manner. She was talking with no single sense of guilt or remorse. It was an entitled manner that vexed Robert to the bones."Oh... You're claiming rights after you left without so much as a word. You also took my car and ran away with it you thief!" Robert said with an inc

    "Can someone tell me what is going on here?" Robert roared in confusion. He was having a peaceful day and was about to go to his house to relax and have a nice evening when these bunch of policemen cuffed him up and were dragging him into their car without an explanation."Please don't resist. It won't be comfortable for you if you do." One of the men behind Robert said. Not answering his question."Answer my question!" Robert demanded. "why the hell are you cuffing me up and trying to take me away? I have my rights!" He said with a raised voice that was getting angry at the men."Oh?..." A man in suit and glasses approached Robert from the car. "Don't pretend like you didn't know this day was going to come eventually after everything you've been doing here." He said as he looked at Robert.He was quite talk and moved closer to Robert who had to look up a bit. "What an actor you are." He said with an appraising gaze."What do you mean by everything I've done?" Can't you see I'm runnin

    "Please stay quiet. You're in a police station. You're causing a nuisance."It was the police woman behind the counter that replied to Rachel's outburst. Everyone in the station had heard the shout and it looked like Rachel was going to continue so the woman had spoken immediately.Rachel was standing defiantly with gritted teeth as she looked at Robert who was currently at a loss for words. She was irritated by his silence and was snarling at him when the stern and warning gaze of the policewoman made her keep quiet.James was still seated behind the counter. His face was full of different complicated expressions. So many things also running through his mind. He kept thinking of how he found himself in the police station and what had warranted it, why his mother was also in the police station and why Robert was just being brought into the station.'Am I being arrested because of something that dad did?' James thought. Rachel's outburst had also startled him to an extent but still he

    Darius.She really meant to call Darius.The reason Rachel had thought about Darius was because she remembered Alicia from that one video that had circulated. The video of the incident that Alicia challenged Philip to a game of who could get Carla her contract back. Rachel had done a little digging and found out that Alicia was there that day because Darius had brought her there.'That Street rat, where does he keep meeting this big people?' Was what Rachel had thought. First of all, he married a girl that was from a rich family, and then he got entangled with another rich man interested in his wife: Philip. Now it was another rich lady this time around.Rachel had used Darius to get to Philip once. She naturally expected for him to be useful again and help her reach Alicia."Don't you think he'll be angry at you for what you did last time you saw him?" James asked Rachel curiously."Yeah... I think so too." Rachel answered as she picked up the phone and pushed the buttons dialing Da

    Time to sleep?'What the hell did he mean by that?' Was the thought that popped up in their minds at the same time as they looked at the police officer with confused faces."What?" The officer grinned mischievously. "You don't understand simple English?" He asked, clearly trying to mess about with them."It is time for you to sleep!" He said, saying the words for them to hear as though he was talking to kids.It was then that they understood what he meant. It was late already but they didn't know because there wasn't any direct windows in the room. Only artificial lighting from the bulbs and air from the air conditioning of the building."What is the time?" Rachel asked shakily. She was now beginning to panic."It's 9pm at the moment." The officer replied. "I see you haven't been able to get your saviour down here early enough." He said."No, no. He's definitely coming." Rachel said as she started biting her nails in frustration. The man looked at her in amusement."Are you certain ab

    Robert had his mouth hanging open for about five seconds. He was very shocked at what he had heard Darius say. Rachel be James looked at him with complicated gazes."What did he say?" Rachel asked impatiently. Robert was having a strange reaction on his face. Had something happened to Darius on the way here."What do you mean Darius?" Robert asked after trying to recover from the shock of how Darius had spoken to him. He ignored Rachel's question in his surprise and rage that was building up. Was this weasel trying to play with him after everything he had done for Darius' since his birth?"You heard me clearly." Darius replied again confidently with his voice that showed no signs of being afraid of anyone."You called me because you're at the station, so what do you expect me to do about it? The last time we all had a nice chat didn't you call me useless?Just ask someone else for help and let me be!" Darius said, shocking Robert further."You got balls kid..." Robert wanted to start

    Maxwell was a bit taken aback. That wasn't the answer he was expecting from Darius actually. He was talking about the normal few minutes people should take when working out but Darius had replied him in another context.He looked at Darius' lean figure that was beginning to develop some strong, visible muscles and shook his head ruefully.'He feels like beating every single one of them up with his bare hands.' Maxwell thought. That was how much angry Darius was and how much he wanted to revenge.Sometimes he was really enjoying the revenge and at other times he would be so much angry at the people that he wanted to take his revenge on that he would almost do something drastic to them but calm himself.'Should I call Miss Alicia to speak or gust with him.' Maxwell thought out of concern. But he knew that Darius didn't really look at Alicia in a special way. It was obvious that he still had a very soft spot for Carla even when he wanted to deal with her badly."Fine, I'll rest." Darius

    "Darius?!""Not this damn bitch again!" A police man grabbed his forehead in frustration. He was there the previous day when Robert had been brought to the station and experienced the full power of Rachel's scream. It was headache inducing. Now she did it again, yelling because she saw another man."I swear if I hear you shout once more I'll be visiting your pretty face with my fist." The policewoman said. She was the same person that was at the counter the previous day and had also witnessed Rachel's shout. She was also very annoyed.Robert heard Rachel's shout of Darius's name and quickened his steps, James following. They came into the room and saw a very distinguished Darius seated in the reception. He was dressed in a very fine tailored suit. It's blue color contrasted with the golden Cartier wristwatch on his wrists and blended well with his Jimmy Choo shoes. He was the embodiment of money and luxury as his hair was neatly arranged and styled up perfectly well, making him almost
