"I can't force her to be with me. She's an adult. Any choice she makes, goes. Why did you alter the contract?""I was looking out for you, I'm sorry." She apologized, knowing that her brother might get upset with such behavior from her. "That's fine, I will find a way to fix it. He said."What, what will you do?"Nothing you should concern yourself with." He said. "Meanwhile, I will be in my ranch at Galvile tomorrow.""And the Mansion? Is something wrong at the mansion? I'm bringing Emily home on Tuesday. I have no doubt that she would love to see you when she gets back. What should I tell her if she asks you?"You don't have to tell her anything. I will see her at your place tomorrow before leaving. So, don't get yourself worked up." He took a sip of his wine."You know, when I heard those things about Paige, I really didn't care. I was just okay with the fact she was there for you and that was all that really mattered to me. But hearing everything you told me and seeing her today,

She waited for an answer but got none. When it was obvious that he was going to be silent on her, she snapped at him immediately. "Lawyer said you may have fallen in love. And please, do not blame her. I almost choked it out of her mouth." She said, "Is she the reason you ain't sleeping at night?" Simon smiled dryly twitching his lips to the side reluctantly. "I don't know really, I don't know if it's okay for a girl to make me feel this way." He said in a tired and very subtle voice. "I mean life shouldn't be this complicated. There are lots of girls out there, I shouldn't allow myself to get stuck on one right?" He asked seriously, hoping for an answer. Bridget smiled at his question. "You know, no matter how archaic you think this sounds, your mother and I believe that there is always just one life partner for everyone and when you come across them, you'll never remain the same and you won't have the power to control your feelings. I need you to remember that love is a beautiful

A few minutes after calming himself down and getting a grip of his temper, he finally placed a call across to Paige to check up on Paige."Hello princess." He called , when she picked up."Hey Frankie, good morning.""Good morning sweet girl." He replied making her blush. "How was your night?""It was perfect." She replied truthfully. Contrary to what she thought last night, she found out that she slept so peacefully unlike her previous night at Kentleys mansion.Although her thoughts were occupied by split images of Simon and Fiona seated together from last night, she was still able to fall asleep.Last night, She kept recalling how angry she felt seeing them together and ended up convincing herself that the anger she felt wasn't because she saw them together, it was because Simon pretended not to have liked Fiona before then. But they were smiling and looking so comfortable in each other's company, making her feel like he took her for a fool."I'm glad to hear that." Frankie said bri

"She was not Gracey, our families aren't so close anymore. But we're still business associates. That is exactly what I've been trying to explain to you. I and my husband, we didn't invite them. My in-laws did and I felt it was only right to inform you now then keep it away from you. Please understand me, Gracey." June pleaded."Excuse me please." Gracey said, and walked out on June who stood rooted on the spot wondering if she did the right thing telling her. After a few minutes of standing, she finally headed back inside to her siblings."How did that go?" Anna asked once June stepped inside."It was a disaster." She replied"What is a disaster?" Simon asked clueless."I told Gracey that my father in-law invited the Tedsons to my wedding." June replied."Disaster should be an understatement then." Simon told her."Honestly, it actually is." June replied with head bowed."What really happened to her child? I remember there was no baby when I paid her a visit to see you at Baltimore" Si

This made Paige flinch. She moved away from his embrace. "You don't have to talk about a fellow human in such a condescending manner." She told him, concerned. "Felix is your brother which is enough reason to show him some respect." She reminded him."Believe me princess." Frankie started, touching her chin with his index finger. "I'm not talking down on Felix. I'm only stating a fact. Felix is kind of useless when it comes to corporate business." He said in a louder tone.But he failed to notice Felix walk up to them in the garden and Paige on seeing Felix, struggled to give Frankie a signal to keep shut. But he kept going on and on about how their father trusts only him to run the family business saying that in his own opinion, Felix could be regarded as handicapped. Poor Felix stood rooted to the floor as his brother who had his back to him kept talking about him in a condescending manner. He felt like the ground should open up so that he could step in. The embarrassment was eviden
