BREAK UP?ANDREW'S HOUSE, 9AM."Drew, what's up, I called you a several times and you didn't answer. Where have you been man?" Evans asked as Andrew stepped in and Miller also nodded in question at him."Silas Grey was here for dinner with Robin and I last night. As usual he got me mad, so I took Robin to cool off, we spent the night together," Andrew replied before taking a seat on one of the couches in the living room."What? Silas Grey, your father was here, why? Wait a minute, you still went ahead to sleep with Robin? Damn man, you're a scum bag," Evans said, surprised."Why is he a scum bag? Wasn't that the plan, I thought he actually forgot about it, but of course Andrew is such a great player. That's great man, how was it? That girl must have been really good, come on tell us, when will you dump her? Damn I wasn't expecting you to win the bet this time, that means you get to keep my new car. Give me a high five man, we have to celebrate this night!" Miller rambled."As much as

UNAVOIDABLE ATTRACTIONANDREW'S APARTMENT, 10PM."Robin told us that you guys broke up, what happened?" Stacey demanded in a frosty tone.Andrew explained everything that happened to them and pleaded, "Please just help me set up a meeting with Robin, she can't just leave me like that, we love each other. She said she never wants to see me again, but she works for me and the club needs her,""Why should we do that? You mean you're so cruel that you still want to succeed in your evil plans for her, despite everything?" Clara asked in a clipped tone."There's no plan anymore, just please help me out. Stacey for the sake of our friendship all this time, help me to meet her.""Okay, I will, but I'm only doing this because I know I've never seen you this way and you're probably not lying, but don't think that I trust you. If you try anything funny, I'll forget that you're my family's benefactor, got it?""Sure thank you so much Stace, I knew I could count on you. Now here's what I have in m

HIS STORYANDREW'S OFFICE, 3:30PM.Andrew stood in front of the glass windows with his hands in his pockets, his back to Robin. The memories being too painful for him, he didn't want Robin to see how hurt he was by all that had happened in the past."My parents, Silas and Christina Grey got married due to an unexpected pregnancy. Mum was only twenty three and Silas twenty six." Andrew paused and led her to take a seat with him on the couch. He drank some water, before clearing his throat as Robin turned to face him.Andrew continued, "When they first met, Silas had been a womaniser and a party animal. My grandparents had tried all they could to get him to settle down with a girl of the same upbringing and social status as him, but to no avail. He met mum at the birthday party of a friend of his and was immediately charmed by her. She was working as a waitress in the restaurant, where the party was being held. They had a one night stand and lost contact after that day. Fate brought the

SISTER?BLAZE RESTAURANT, 6PM.Andrew unlocked the car to open the door for Robin before they walked into the fancy new restaurant."Wow, this is Blaze Restaurant! I can't believe you brought me here, Stace has been talking about it. It's so beautiful in here, I love the decorations and I heard they serve very nice food here," Robin exclaimed when they took their table, which Andrew had reserved beforehand.The waiter came in with their order which was some Italian cuisine and after he left, Andrew dug into his food before replying."Yes it's pretty good. I can't believe next week is the regional gaming competition. It came so fast this year, Stanley told me he's finished with most of the work and I just have to finalize some other things. How do you feel to be the mastermind of the game that will surely grant us the trophy?" Andrew fisted his hands as though it were a microphone and raised it up to Robin.She laughed and answered with a laugh "Very proud, I must say."They continued

NEVER LEAVE METHE BLAZE RESTAURANT, 7:30PM"Andrew, Andrew get back here!" Christina yelled."Calm down honey, he's bound to be furious now. He needs some time to think things through, then he'd come around," Silas said with her hand on her shoulder."I know I have no right to butt in but I have to say what you did is almost unforgivable. I haven't known Andrew for too long, but I've seen the pain that he has gone through during his childhood. Even though you weren't a good father to him, you put so much pressure on him to succeed and just to gain acceptance and some love from you, he has strived as much as he could to be as intelligent as he is today, but you kept pushing him away. How could you even lie to him that his mother was in London, when she has been in New York all this time? Were you trying to keep him from knowing how much she didn't care for him? I don't even know who's a worse parent between you both, but I hope you're happy now that you've ruined not only our date ton

THE WHOLE TRUTHTHE GREY MANSION, 6PM, THE NEXT DAY."I told you, you shouldn't have worn the dress and heels, you're obviously uncomfortable in them," Andrew said as he and Robin got down from his car in his father's garage.Andrew had finally decided to visit his parents and listen to their side of the story, just for Robin's sake alone.Though he had told her to wear whatever she was comfortable in, she decided to wear something lady like to impress his parents.Her dress was something she borrowed from Clara, a purple, mid length, halter necked dress with sequins at the chest area which she paired with a black purse and matching stilettos.Andrew was totally unable to understand her need to portray an image that was not hers to his parents. Fine Robin liked wearing jeans and T-shirts, but he was totally okay with that, so what was the need to pretend like she liked dresses in front of his parents?"Come on Andrew, don't tell me I don't look good in them," Robin asked with a grave

THE WHOLE STORY PT 2THE GREY MANSION, 8PM."You're still as impatient as I can remember, Andy. Your grandparents were very much against our union and wanted me to have an abortion. They threatened me severally till the point where your father finally cut all ties with them and decided to get married to me without their permission. It was a big thing indeed, I was very moved by that decision of his, though I wouldn't have wanted us coming together to mean that he had to lose his family and their powerful name. When you were born and they found out we had a boy, they contacted your dad and pleaded with him and finally we reconciled with them.""After your first birthday, we wanted another child, but the pregnancy just wasn't coming forth. We went for several fertility tests and all, but it was still the same. After trying artificial insemination twice, which all failed, we finally gave up and just decided to settle with never having anymore kids. Then like a miracle when you were six,

HURTING PT 1.THE GREY MANSION, 9PM"Let me answer that, when I left your father, it took a lot of courage to do it. I was convinced that he wascheating on me because I felt that his past playboy lifestyle was something he must have missed. He had been so occupied with work, he was keeping late nights and most times out of the country. I figured that was the reason for his change in attitude and probably he wanted a woman who could give him more children. It's common knowledge that many powerful and influential men like himself, get trapped in the web of manipulating females, who chase after them regardless of their marital status. When I went to London, I changed my writing name to Freya Rain and continued writing children's story books without my picture displayed on the books. I didn't want to be found by your dad, especially after he accused me of infidelity and bringing another man's child into his house." Christina said with a sob.Even after many years, it was still very painf
