View MoreANDREWAndrew was in his study when Jason suddenly entered with take-outs in his hand.He was spending more and more time with Andrew and he found it weird. Jason might be jovial, but he certainly wasn't clingy, which made his actions suspicious.“What are you doing here…again?” Andrew asked, getting tired of him showing up at his house whenever he wished.“I just got here.” Jason replied, looking at Andrew innocently.“You've been coming here every day for the past one week.” Andrew countered, turning on his chair to face his friend and looking at him weirdly.“Are you suddenly having feelings for me now that I'm married?” Andrew asked, raising an eyebrow and causing Jason to choke on his drink.“Wh…what?” Jason stammered, looking flustered. His cheeks turned to the brightest shade of red.“Tchh… I always knew you were gay.” Andrew taunted and turned back to his work, smiling.“What..? I'm…I'm not! I have a girlfriend!” Jason tried defending himself but Andrew was hearing none of it.
MANNY“Do you think there's an open spot for a manager?” Cheryl asked, nibbling on her food. “Manger?” Manny repeated and then scoffed. Manager for what? Why did she want to climb up the ladder so fast?Manny didn't give her a reply. Instead, she kept her eyes on her chauffeur. If he stands, she stands.She wasn't wasting another second here.Seeing how Manny had been staring at him and sensing her anxiety, the chauffeur got up and walked to Manny, getting the memo.“Ma'am, we need to leave, you should get back to work.” He advised, knowing he was speaking her mind.Feigning ignorance on how much time she had wasted, she pretended to check her watch.“Give me a minute.” Her chauffeur nodded and Manny excused herself and Cheryl waited while making a phone call. She kept whispering into the phone, gaining a suspicious look from Manny's chauffeur.What was she up to?After doing her business she came out of the restroom, and right on cue, the piercing sound of a gunshot was heard and th
MANNYAs she set out to work the next day, Manny stumbled upon Andrew on her way downstairs and she quickened her pace as he walked behind her.Last night's conversation was still fresh in her mind and her husband didn't utter a word about it which was a good thing. She felt if they were to continue the conversation, it would have ended up in an argument and she didn't have the strength or time to do so.She passed the dinner dining room and was walking through the hallway when Andrew asked her a question. “Aren’t you eating?” “No appetite.” She replied almost immediately and walked away before he could say another word.She was already running out of time, she didn't want her mother to give her another lecture because of a tardy arrival.She blamed the pregnancy for having no appetite. It was either she ate very little or didn't eat at all.Weren't pregnant ladies supposed to have a huge appetite? Why was she different?All immediately went to the back of her head as she reached he
MANNYManny sighed and massaged her wrist, trying to relieve herself of the pain she felt. She twisted them gently and started writing again.This was a fashion company yet she kept signing documents like she was running a corporation.When she was finally done, she headed to the dressing room to help out. In times like this, she missed Avery.In the Spirit of their competition, she would have done her part of the work and even a little bit of Manny's just so she could prove her worth.‘At least she always got the job done.’ Manny muttered as she grabbed materials from where it was kept and walked back to the lady who was halfway dressed.She sighed and shook her head at how the lady was dressed. The materials were all wrong, the colors didn't match and it looked like she was suffocating inside the clothes, like her measurements weren't taken before making the dress.“Who would dress someone like this.” She grumbled, peeling the clothes off the woman's body gently in order not to ruin
MANNYAndrew's father tried to control himself, he wasn't going to let loose in front of everyone.He lifted his eyes from the paper and gave Andrew a death glare, his face hard with fury.If eyes could kill, he'd surely be dead by now.How could he do something so senseless? After all his protestation?He closed his eyes and visibly relaxed himself. He wasn't surprised, his son never listens to him anyway.Always doing the opposite of what he was told. If not for the fact that Andrew was a chip of the old block, he would have wondered if he was truly his son.“We won't be able to help you, Kate.” Her smile slowly faded and a frown appeared on her face.“Anyone can fake a DNA test, we will have to conduct one ourselves.” Mr Allen said and tossed the envelope on the table making her get them herself.“I can always take my information to the media Allen.” Kate threatened.Andrew's father smirked and then laughed.Who did she think she was?“Tell them and we'll give them money to cover
ANDREWAndrew had his P. I working hard to find the voice behind the mask, he had somehow managed to record the whole thing and had given it to Carter.He had to find out who was behind this.The voice changer in the mask had done a very good job in concealing the culprit’s voice but he could have sworn, there was a hint of familiarity in his voice.“It's been so long since we went out to a party.” Jason busted into Andrew's study saying.He has been hanging around ever since the death of Andrew's mother trying to offer comfort and care to his best friend.“I don't feel like it.” Andrew replied in a bored tone.There was no time to waste, he had much on his plate and Jason's blabbing wasn't making it any better.“Come on man.” Jason pressed further, he needed him out of the house but Andrew was set on not going anywhere.“Did you take care of the triad?” Andrew asked as he typed away on his laptop.Those men were becoming a problem.Andrew gave his friend a ‘won’t you answer’ type of
*SOMEWHERE IN SYDNEY“The search for Mrs Gwendolyn Cooper is still ongoing. It is said that she might have been kidnapped and was unable to fight back due to her Dementia…” The news station changed as someone pressed the remote.“Tchh..they couldn't even keep it out of the news. Is he that desperate to find his mother?” A skinny man with sandy brown hair commented with a hoarse voice while trying to look for another channel that didn't mention the missing lady.He gazed at the woman sleeping in a wheelchair, “Why did they care so much for a woman who would barely make it? As far as he was concerned, she was a living corpse.“Dude!” Another voice came from the tattered-looking room and a buffed man appeared, looking almost identical to the skinny man.“You have to feed her, do you want her dead?” “She was going to anyway.” The skinny man said and roughly woke up Gwendolyn who was in a daze.“Caleb?”The two men groaned as they heard the name again. Andrew's mum has been saying the na
MANNYDaddy? What was going on? Did Andrew marry someone in the past and they had a child? Manny looked at the stuck-up lady and then glanced at the little boy holding her hand. This was Andrew's child? But they looked nothing alike!She took a better look at Andrew, perhaps she had missed something.“Kate?" Andrew finally spoke up, his voice hoarse with shock.Kate smiled cheekily and surprised him with a hug.Manny stood still like a statue, she didn't know how to react. Should she be happy that she no longer has to give Andrew a child or sad because someone had already beaten her to it?Nevertheless, she didn't say a word. She stayed, allowing Andrew and Kate to have their moment.After a long while, Andrew remembered Manny. He cleared his throat, “This is Manny..my wife.” He added the last statement like it left a bitter taste in his mouth and Manny didn't fail to notice.Why was he being like this?Kate gave her a condescending look and then plastered a fake smile on her face.
MANNYIt has been two days since the incident with Andrew's mother and since he forcefully tried to have sex with her.They didn't say a word to each other and slept in separate rooms. Manny always made sure the door was locked before she went to bed, she didn't want Andrew barging in.She could barely sleep in the last two nights, the blood from Andrew's mom and her crazy behavior kept her awake.Was she that ill? What kind of sickness was that? Was this what Andrew has been going through?She felt sorry for him. He had no one besides his father who didn't care about him. And now the only person who could look after him was sick. But he always looked like he had no problem going on.Maybe marrying him wouldn’t be so bad, she could stay by his side, loving him.Many quickly sat up on her bed and cleared the thought away from her mind.She shouldn't feel sorry for him, he practically raped her and he didn't even bother to apologize, he just ignored her presence.“I need to get the hel
