Alex had left home so late that morning; likewise his daughter who he dropped off at school. Even without being in the mood to go to work, he was left with no choice to it.Coupled with the state of his company —if the sky world is coming to an end, he still have to go. His part of shares in the company had reduced, and he has to overwork himself to keep his position steady in the company.Alex noticed the tension in the air was very much unpleasing the moment he walked in and he did not like it a bit but he paid less attention to it —his present mood was likely enough to cause another tension in additional to the already existing one.He did say no word as he walked passed the receptionist, finding it hard to respond to her greeting; the receptionist's voice on the other hand wasn't as cheerily as it used to sound. Alex was certain that something was off.Alex retreated his steps, closer to the receptionist. "Where is Jamel?" Alex, who still couldn't pinpoint the reason behind his qu

Alex breathed in as he slowly squeezed his daughter's hand that was in his softly. He tapped on his mother's huge oak door, as usual, ignoring the doorbell and patiently waited on his mother's reply."It's not locked, Alex..." He heard her voice from with in, his face was with that of surprise. She always know he was the one at the door and how she was always able to sound that loud was usually enough reason to baffle him.Alex pushed the oak door instead and walked in slowly like he was trying to watch his steps to prevent him from stumbling. Vanessa wondered why her father had been acting strange but kept mute, on times like this, she felt she needed to give him his privacy. "Ah, Son —you came." She called out to him like she's been expecting his arrival as her almost aging lips broke into a small smile; even though it was a small smile, it was radiant enough to reach her eyes —it reflect how glad she was to see him again.His mother wasn't sitting on her usual favorite seat, this

"What's wrong, son, why aren't you saying anything?" Mrs Williams asked, reading the meaning attached to Alex's silence.The latter let out a heavy sigh that holds nothing but the pain and heartache he's feeling before speaking. "Mother, she left..." He couldn't even bring himself to say more than that."What do you mean by she left?" He heard his mother's sharp voice demanded, she hated it when words are spoken in parables as much as she hated suspense too. "Speak to me in a language I will understand, son!""Rosy left yesterday's evening, I'm not sure if she would ever come back." Alex blurted out in a rush, sighing afterward. "No, I'm sure she's never coming back. She left Vanessa and I for good!""She left, eh?" His mother's voice sounded like she was trying to memorized the words, her tone drawling. "Rosy left the house without hesitation or putting Vanessa into consideration?""Yes..." Alex cited simply in a lazy tone, having no much strength left in him to reply —though there i

The early morning sun peeped from the horizon, after several couple of minutes since dawn, casting its warm yellow hues over the quiet four storey building in downtown States.Lisa's face was clouded with impatience, knowing she has lots on her table in the office as it was a early Monday morning but Xenia, who suddenly find pleasure in picking her meals, seems to be the one holding her back.On most Mondays like this, and coupled with the fact that she had recently built another company under the Dela Cruz groups, Lisa was always reviewing proposal or attending to business meetings, it was always a hectic day to start the week with and she doesn't want to go late. To her, it'll ruin her whole week."Come on, Zen..." She drawled, almost whyning as she realized she'll be late to work which she dreaded the most. "Eat up, little girl else we both will run awfully late —it's Monday morning, running late should be off the plan. Plus, you'll be starting a new school today."Xenia did not re

Andy wiped the sweat from his brow and took a deep breath. The operation had been a long and difficult one, but it was finally over after spending almost half of a day in the operating theatre.He removed his gloves and nose mask and dumped it in the recycling bin near the door. As usual, a nurse helped him removed his gown, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. As he left the operating room, the fluorescent lights seemed harsh and blinding after the dim operating theatre.As he made his way through the hospital corridors, Andy turned to his assistant who was on his trail. "Well, that was quite a marathon," He said, his voice slightly hoarse from hours of speaking. "But we did it. The patient should be in good hands now."His assistant nodded, a look of exhaustion on her face. "It was tough, but we pulled through." She replied him. "I just hope the patient makes a full recovery and it doesn't take much time."Andy agreed. "It's out of our hands now, but we did everything we can to

Her walking steps were supposed to be majestic and graceful as her heels clicked against the marbled floor but she was in a bit hurry than usual. Her aura was the type that no one wouldn't dare deny not to have notice —and her presence screamed authority as well.Lisa's clicking heels came to a halt in an abruptly manner as though she was snapped out of her reverie due to the voice that came up suddenly behind her without any notice."Ma'am..." The soft but audible voice called out to Lisa who hesitated for a moment before facing the source of the voice. "Good morning, ma'am." The voice repeated with a slight bow. It was a female and Lisa's secretary she had employed before she left States for Los Angeles.Instead of a reply, Lisa only nodded her head to the greeting in response. "What's the news, Maya?" She requested sharply, her voice was laced with the authority she carried.The lady whose name turn out to be Maya nodded curtly before speaking. "Just the normal old updates, ma'am."

"So who's your first target amongst them? That depraved creep or those revolting geezers?" the man asked, inching closer to the desk where Lisa was sitting behind."Who do you think deserves a taste of their own medicine first?" Lisa's voice was calm but her eyes were cold, like a frozen lake in winter which caused a sly smile across the man's face."Uh... That pervert, no?" He asked in a drawling tone, as though he's letting out a suggestion since he's unsure of her thoughts."You think that creepy jerk deserves being served first?" She asked. It was a rhetorical question and she expected no answer in return. "It's those old men of course. There's always enough time to teach that pervert a lesson he deserves —if not more.""Yeah, I know, right?" The man nodded almost immediately. "He look like a man who is in need of a special attention —be it in good cause or the other way round.""You get it. But first, I need few but important update on Alex's life in the past five years." Lisa sa

Judas approached the kindergarten school with a sense of trepidation. He had promised to pick up the twins for their mother, but he was unsure how they would react to seeing him again.After all, it had been months since he had last visited them, and he had left without a word. He knows the kids too well, they might give him a little distance as a payback for what he has done —or maybe not. He spotted the twins waiting for him outside the school gate, and his heart skipped a beat. Xenia was jumping up and down, her dark curls bouncing with each movement. Klaus stood beside her, his small hands buried in his pockets.As Judas approached the twins, he noticed that Klaus was staring at him with an unreadable expression. It was hard to tell what the boy was thinking, but his blue eyes were fixed on Judas, as though he's monitoring his every move.Meanwhile, Xenia ran towards him, her arms outstretched. "Uncle Judas!" She exclaimed with a wide smile on her face. "You came to see us! We've

"Xavier...?" Neil did not hide the surprise in his voice the moment he sighted his eldest brother. Aside his impromptu visit, the look on his face wasn't something to shrug off easily. "Did you have a fight with Fred? Just now that he left to answer the door? What's the argument."Xavier did not say anything since he was in no mood to reply anyone, his anger and frustration has not yet subside —and this has made him to be cautious to avoid an unforgettable experience with his brothers.Neil watched his brother for a moment, taking in his hunched shoulders and clenched jaw. Something was definitely wrong, but he didn't want to push Xavier if he didn't want to talk. He knew from experience that pushing only made things worse."I'll go get you something to drink." Neil said finally, turning towards the kitchen. "Do you want tea or coffee?"Xavier shrugged, not looking at him. Neil sighed and headed into the kitchen, leaving his brother alone in the living room. He could only hope that Xa

Judas pulled his car into the parking lot of Lisa's company, and he turned to look at his children in the back seat. Klaus sat quietly, looking out the window with a serious expression on his face. Xenia, on the other hand, was vibrating with excitement. She could hardly sit still, and she kept asking questions about what they were going to see."We're here!" Judas said, turning off the car. "Are you ready to see Mommy's place of work?""Yes!" Xenia squealed, unbuckling her seat belt and waited for Judas to unlock the car's door. "Let's go!" Xenia said, practically leaping out of the car as soon as its door was opened and running to the front door of the building.Judas and Klaus followed more slowly, with Judas reaching out to take Klaus's hand and give it a reassuring squeeze. He feel as though the little boy is nervous about coming to his mother's firm for the first time, and he wanted to make sure he felt supported.They entered the building and made their way past the reception
