BECKY’S POVThe phone displayed to show a short video with the caption “He is alive.” I played the short video to know who was in question and I froze when I saw my dad’s red Porsche. There might be hundreds of Porsche Cayennes in Singapore but not with the same number plate.I became confused, and I realized that my dad’s car had never really been mentioned in the will. I just made up my mind to go meet the lawyer thereafter.The pilot announced our arrival over the microphone and the helicopter slowly descended. The silhouette figures of the industries came into view and I could see the display. We had to pick something at the headquarters first before heading to the Silicon site.I met the staff at the door and they all greeted. Sam, the chief of security stepped forward and he gave me a full briefing as we stepped into the elevator. “We checked the surroundings of the factory to ascertain if the accident was caused by an external factor, but there was none.”“Are you sure it’s no

CHAPTER 23BECKY’S POVThe room was dimly lit. There was almost no source of light except the rotating blue light that hung from the ceiling of the room. The air conditioner was working at full speed and power but I could barely feel its power; I was sweating from head to toe like someone who just partook in extreme sports. My heart was threatening to burst out of its rib cage, my blood flowed faster than usual and my head was struck with an headache that made it seems like I was levitating.On one of the ebony-wood, Victorian leather chairs of the room was Ephraim consciously having s*x with another lady who was moaning at the top of her voice. I could see his silhouette from the dim lighting for me to know he was half naked, same as the girl who was just riding when her br*asts bounced up and down.I was more pained by the fact that I had stayed more than thirty seconds in the room and my attention wasn’t even registered. He must have been consumed with the pleasure of sleeping wit

BECKY’S POVI surely knew Granny was going to bring up my dad’s matter again. I didn’t know the best way and I figured I had to tell her maybe that would bring back her memories. I waited patiently though, I won’t be the one to bring it up.The soldiers still patrolled around the house and Tyler went outside to discuss with them, he showed them the security cameras and showed them the blind spots of the cameras. He conversed easily with the soldiers as if they were old time friends.He came back just in time for Granny to pop the inevitable question.“I am asking you again, where is your dad?”There was momentary silence. I was choking back tears from the back of my throat. When I finally mustered the courage to speak up, Tyler stood in for me.“He’s not around. He has not been around for quite some time.”“Yeah, I always hear that. The doctor said I forgot some things. Where did he go to?”“He went to a place of eternal rest, a place where we will all meet and see again.”“Oh no, you

BECKY’S POVOne of us was surely going to die. It’s either I kill this girl or she kills me or Ephraim kills us both. She was behaving like a cornered animal looking for a way out of the room; I felt like throwing her from nine floors to the hard cobbler ground but a criminal record is too expensive for me to afford right now; not with the success of the meeting just completed.“It’s not really what you think.” Ephraim was still trying to defend himself.“She seduced me, drugged me to do it.”“And you were the one caressing the breasts.” I answered with an emotionless face. I didn’t know what to do next, my heart was beating fast and loud, threatening to burst out of my rib cage. I looked at Ephraim one last time, then shifted my gaze to the personal assistant and took a very deep breath. I unbolted the door, and stepped out into the hallway.As soon as I stepped the hallway, I decided to take the stairs down to the ground floor instead of the elevator. I went down a few steps then t

BECKY’S POVThis was the second most terrifying day of my life, coming after the day I lost my dad. The driver dropped me in front of the door and drove to the garage to park the car. I dragged myself into the house before the workers would asking me what was wrong with me.“Ma’am, what happened to your eyes? Were you crying?” One of the workers coming from inside the house asked me.“None of your business.” I answered and rushed inside the room.I saw Tyler arranging a stack of books on the dining room, he stared at me and his jaws dropped when he saw me. I rushed upstairs and bolted the door of my room; I wasn’t ready for any unnecessary conversation.Few moments later, I heard soft knocks on the door. I knew it was going to be no other person than Tyler.“Uhmmm… Hi, what’s going on with you?”“Leave me alone.”“Calm down, I just want to talk. I know you don’t really like me; but it is still my duty as your husband to make sure you’re okay.”And that was where I lost the remaining pa
