"Who is it?" Philip asked."It's not a single person, it's the Safari company. I traced the bad report that they released to the public. The information agencies didn't know who sent them that information about us. They called it an unknown source." Gabriel said, "So I got in contact with one of the information agents and made a deal with him, then he sent me the real report. When I tracked it, I found that the Safari company was behind everything.""Alright," Philip said. "Thanks, I appreciate your help.""My pleasure, make sure you deal with them like old times," Gabriel said. They both knew what Philip could do."I will," Philip said and hung up. Now he was very sure of his suspicion about Safari company. At least now, it was proven. He approached his mother and whispered something into her ears."Is everything alright?"

"My childhood," Philip said with his eyes, fixed on Clara. "Why would you want to know that?" He made sure not to use any tone that may make the others think he was annoyed with the question."Is it wrong if I know your childhood history?" She asked and Philip kept quiet before speaking up again.He lowered his face and picked up the fork, "My childhood...it isn't an experience to talk about." He could feel his mother's eyes on him."I want to know," Clara said."I...and my mother were chased out of a house because of a false accusation and wrong intention." He said. "Is that enough?""Who accused you?" She asked, not satisfied and a little sober. She feared that it might have been her mother or father who chased them out of the house.

Nobody did.He sat down with her and held her hands softly, "Are you alright?" He asked but he knew the answer to the question."I can handle the stress. I am going to be fine. No need to worry about me." She replied."Your father had an arrest...""What?""He is going to be fine," he said. She didn't need to know that her father was partially paralyzed."I wish I was with him.""Don't worry about him now. Worry about yourself." He squeezed her hands softly. "I would like to speak to your brother...will he agree to see me?" She asked, hopefully expecting a positive answer."Why do you want to speak to him? You know he won't help you, no matter what you say.""I don't care about that. All I want to do is to speak to him. I want to look him in the eye and know if he believes what Mr. Ayomide accused me of.""Are you su

There was a table between them, "¿Adónde fuiste hoy?" "I went out for a meeting with someone. It was very important." He replied, sharply."I tried calling you but your phone was switched off. I am sure that you must have charmed Carmen because she refused to give me your location." Philip smiled within him. Carmen was the only person that he could entrust a secret to and she would keep it away from everyone even from his mother. Even if that secret would cost her life, she knew better than to spill it.
