CHAPTER 61 - Taking Action
Patricia hurried out of the villa, a soft wooly scarf wrapped around her neck. The cold rain this morning was unexpected as she had somewhere to be. Luckily, it had stopped and her guest was still waiting for her at their destination.She pushed some strands of hair away from her view and hastened her steps, heading towards the car park to charter a cab. This made no sense. Driving her cars would have been better but how could she do that when Morris had installed a tracking device under all of them?He thought she didn't know that, obviously. If she wanted to meet with her lawyer, she had to do it the safe way.Even without using her cars, Patricia had a feeling that Morris was watching her but she didn't know how to avoid it. She had to meet up with her lawyer today and talk about ways to get her company back.Why couldn't she just talk to her lawyer on the phone or through a video? Well, she just realized recently that Morris was listening in on her phone conversations. His bodygua

CHAPTER 62 - Time Stops
The sky was getting darker, another rainy storm was coming. Patricia glanced at the huge square clock hanging high up on the wall of the restaurant. It was 6:00pm. How had time passed by so fast?Hee lawyer Katherine smiled warmly at her "I didn't expect we would spend so much time. I thought it would take just an hour or two…"Patricia laughed. "That's totally fine. There was a lot to talk about. It's getting dark, I believe it's time for me to release you.""I'll see you another time, Mrs Patricia" Katherine stacked the scattered documents on the table together and put it inside her briefcase. Standing up from her chair, she muttered "Have a great day and take care."Patricia sat and watched until Katherine walked out of the restaurant door. She picked her pen and notepad on the table and put them in her small handbag, signaling that she was getting ready to leave….Through the side of eye, she observed the young man still sitting at the opposite end of the restaurant. She noticed h

CHAPTER 63 - Lost
George glanced up at the huge round clock hanging on the white wall of the hospital room. His vision was blurry as his eyes welled up with fresh tears. He had never driven at full speed like the way he did this night. He didn't even care about driving rules and all of that.His mother couldn't just die like that, after everything she had been through. He could not allow her to lose again to the man he should be calling 'father'.11:15pm…How did a simple day that was all about him attending a meeting turn into this?He moved his gaze over to his mother as she laid on the bed, her head propped on a pillow. His left hand held tightly to her right hand and he whimpered, trying to hold back the rush of tears.After a while, he sighed in relief as he watched the final drop of blood flow through the drip sack that was connected to a vein on his mother's wrist….She had lost a large quantity of blood which almost put her in a critical position. Luckily, he had a similar blood type with her.

CHAPTER 64 - A Long Night
James pushed the door open and barged in causing Morris and Judith to jump in shock. He had a look of disgust on his face and he folded his fists like he was about to punch something or someone."Didn't you hear me? I said explain what I just heard right now, all of it?! Who did you kill?!"Morris signaled and Raymond excused himself and walked out.James glared at Morris and took a step forward "So that's what your bodyguard is for, right? He goes around doing different dirty jobs for you? I can't believe I even thought he was helping you with the company. I can see clearly no—""James, silence!!" Morris commanded"Oh just cut it out already!" James yelled at him. "Do you think I care about respecting you right now?!"James turned and glared at Judith "And you…you are really what they call you. A greedy, stupid mistress who likes to reap where she didn't sow! You disgust me and I hate the fact that I ever called you mother""How dare you?!" Judith yelled. She raised a hand to hit him

CHAPTER 65 - A Deep Hit
George stirred in bed, the rays of sunlight brightening the room. He squinted and looked around, trying to adjust his sleepy eyes to his surroundings.What was the time? He looked at the clock and saw 7:20am.After a stormy day yesterday, the sun seemed to be rising too early today.He sat up in bed, plopping a soft pillow behind him to support his back. He still felt a bit down but better than how he felt yesterday. Tony would be standing in for him to take care of his mother until he arrived at the hospital. He really hoped there would be positive news today about his mother regaining her consciousness.The sweet aroma of baked potatoes and fried chicken caught his attention and he looked at the direction where the smell was coming from. The sight before him made George blink and rub his eyes…About twenty steps away from the bed was Rachel sitting on their small dining table for two, with a large plate of the delicious smelling food but not just that, she was glaring at him and pa

CHAPTER 66 - Bleak
George and Rachel rushed into the hospital where Mrs Patricia was. It was already mid afternoon. Just as George expected, they were being followed at the beginning.But they managed to escape through a taxi they specifically booked. Today was a very busy day with lots of vehicles on the road. It wasn't easy for the 'bad guys' to follow them easily.As they stepped into the hospital, George glanced at Rachel "This is the only chance we have to come here. You can see what it took for us to come here peacefully today. They won't let us go if there is a next time….""I understand. Somehow, I wasn't expecting them to show up anyway. Morris is so relentless. But if you no longer come here, what's going to happen to your mother?""I have prepared a private apartment for her to stay in somewhere far away from here, with equipped maids and a chef. She is to remain hidden until we round up this case. We have all the evidence, so that shouldn't be a problem"Rachel nodded."Let's go in. She is o

CHAPTER 67 - The Right Thing
George and Rachel came down from the taxi they had booked to return home. Instead of stopping right in front of the villa's gate, George told the driver to stop at the final junction that led to the villa.It would be better if he and Rachel walked home from there. Who knows?....If the bodyguards at the gate caught sight of the taxi driver and the plate number of his car, they could go as far as kidnapping him just to demand for where he and Rachel are coming back from.George was not hundred percent sure but he had a strong feeling that Morris believed that Patricia was not dead yet. Watching his own mother get crippled was enough for him, he would never allow Morris to harm her a second time. Because, she would really die if he had a second chance."Is it possible that Morris has sent some guys to check the database of all the hospital's in the country?" Rachel asked as they walked down the road."That's exactly my thought. I believe so but luckily, Tony has moved her away to a pr

CHAPTER 68 - The Arrest
Rachel sat quietly at the dining table, eating her breakfast of waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. She peeked at George who was eating at the opposite end of the table.Something was off. Maybe he had a lot on his mind or maybe he just didn't feel like talking. It felt like he was keeping his distance from her, avoiding her.During this period, precisely since the evidence showed Morris was behind her father's case and when Morris also tried harming Sophia, George had been acting strange. He was distant.He didn't treat her poorly or anything like that but he wasn't himself like the way he was when they first got married. He answered all her questions whenever she asked any but he never really 'talked' to her.Most of their conversations so far were either about her father in prison, Mrs Patricia who was receiving treatment privately or Morris and Judith…..They hardly talked about 'each other' these days.Was it because they were in their twelfth month of marriage and they only had

CHAPTER 69 - The Court Case
Sophia held out a piece of tissue to Rachel and rubbed her back gently. They stood at an empty section of the toilet. The floor above them was the room where the final court case was to be held. "Everything is going fine. Why are you crying?"Rachel dabbed her face with the tissue and sniffed "Don't worry. They are not sad tears, I'm just so happy. I can't believe that the day I've been waiting for since the last six years is finally here…."Sophia smiled. "That's true. I still remember when you were leaving to get married to George. I thought you were crazy back then. I thought you would be harmed over here or that something huge would go wrong. I couldn't understand why you would choose to take this path but I'm glad that everything turned out for the best.""Yea…I'm so glad nobody died in this process unless it would have made things worse. It wouldn't really feel like a victory after all"Sophia switched on her phone and checked the time. "We have about an hour left before the cou

5 Days LaterNothing would have prepared him for the way he felt the moment he entered the main villa of Imperial Hub Limited.What used to be Morris's villa….Arthur Reeves walked through the familiar pathway that led to where Morris used to stay. He used to go here to talk to Morris in his personal library. They would laugh, talk and joke around about different things.In the midst of their laughter and conversation, he never suspected for once that Morris despised him and was looking for a way to get rid of him.Till today, he still couldn't understand why Morris didn't just let him go….He knew that Morris felt uncomfortable about all the board members saying he was a better leader and businessman compared to Morris. He decided to leave because it made perfect sense to do so at that moment.He was already packing his things, making it known that he was resigning and would have nothing to do with the company anymore. Was that not enough?What else did Morris want? What else was he
