(Jack’s Pov)After meeting with the president of ZEDE, I quickly went back to the office, it was to finish up with the report submitted by the head of departments. I wanted to carefully analyze how each department has been performing lately and to recruit new staff if need be. If there's a time to put in our best, it would be now."how many are remaining to be sorted?" I asked having my eyes fixed on the big book I was flipping." Only the Human Resources department is remaining sir" my assistant replied."It should be ready before today runs out, I need to look into every detail," I said."Yes, Sir" my assistant nodded.He stood there and watched me as I flipped every page of the record book and looked up into the system to be sure that the two pieces of information corresponds."Can I help you, Sir?" My assistant asked as he walked closer to me.He looked tired, his face pale and his eyes weak. He obviously needed to rest but wouldn't do that until I approve of it."You look tired,

(Lily’s Pov)I was home with Jane listening to the president of ZEDE make his confession and apology to Jack. I was very happy when he confirmed that Jack didn’t have a hand in his disappearance. At least that way they wouldn't be more dramas anymore.I might have judged him wrongly in the case of the president of ZEDE but I witnessed his wickedness in my own life. He treated my father like he was nothing and took everything we had. If he was generous as the president of ZEDE said he was, why didn’t he let go of the money my father was owing him? Instead he confiscated everything our family had down to the only survivor in our family.I pretended to be happy because it was a moment of victory for Jack and I didn’t want him suspecting me for any reason.Jane on the other hand wasn’t as happy as I was expecting her to be. It was her brother’s victory and she was acting all cold.“what’s wrong Jane? You are supposed to be happy for Jack”“of course I am, I’m just having headache” it was

(Lly’s Pov)A million at once was the number of times my heart skipped. I had no one who I pictured would be calling me by that time of the night and to make the whole situation worst for me, the caller decided to call when Jack was home and awake.I searched the whole place with my eyes but he wasn't there. I looked further, this time very well but he was indeed gone. I took the opportunity, to get close to my phone to know who it was that was calling me by that time of the night. I became perplexed at the very moment I peeped into the screen of my old Samsung phone.I was sure to have warned Jack the last time we spoke not to talk to me anymore but I guess he didn't cherish his life as much as I thought he did to be calling me again.It was obvious he didn't understand the weight of his actions and how much pain they can bring on him he continues and doesn't stop calling me.He might not know how dangerous Jack was but for the sake of old times, I had to keep trying my best to keep

(Lily’s Pov)I got up early the following morning, it was a beautiful Friday morning. I woke up happy for a reason I do not know. it was the first time a celebration would be held in the WALKER’S mansion since I moved in. Jack had a taste of my cake and wanted more of it. He booked me for food, drinks and of course his favorite, cake.I went down to the store room to check the ingredients available so as to know the ones to buy in the when I get to the market. I couldn’t drag Jane with me because the doctor already made it clear that she needed to rest. Going to the supermarket without Jane sucks but I had to anyway.I picked up my phone and raced down the stairs looking at nothing in particular trying so hard not to forget the things I needed to buy. Jane wasn’t going to the supermarket with me to drive me and there wasn’t any way I was going to trek down to the supermarket, it was quite a distance.Running out of breath, I stood fixed watching the car keys lying on the table. I made

(Lily’s Pov)The party was about to start, I went up into my room to take my bath and get dressed, I made sure I wore a flayed dress to make sure I feel comfortable while eating and drinking. It didn’t take me much time and I was done dressing up.I ran to Jane’s room, knocked on her door but they weren’t any response, I called out to her and her voice came sounding from the dining room, I never thought she would be in the dining before me. She sounded like she didn’t like the idea of celebrating at home.Jane was already at the dining, with Jack, staring at the beauty before them. I gave a heavy sigh of relief knowing that I did a great job and both Jane and Jack were so loving the sight. It was a table for four, Jack and Jane already sat at the edges so I had to seat by the side, not like I had any other choice.The red wine was poured into the three glasses which were meant for the three of us and we made a toast to Jack’s victory, and that marked the beginning of the celebration.
