Faith and Timothy watched them in silence, with Timothy praying that they take the bait and Faith contemplating if this was the best time to speak up and let Simon know that Timothy was setting them up for a kill. She watched as Simon went into silence standing still with his legs slightly parted. She turned to Barnabas but he had his eyes shut tightly still seated on the floor. This could be her only opportunity at staying alive. She thought to herself."Is the cook still alive?" She heard Simon ask Timothy."Yes." Timothy replied hurriedly. A side look from Simon at his guard got Timothy wailing in pain from more punches."Is my cook still alive T.i.m.o.t.h.y." Simon asked this time, extremely angry.Timothy looked up at his boss and fear gripped him. He knew instantly that his end was so near."No, no." He replied, groaning. "They killed her. But it wasn't my boss. They just told me that they will take care of her. They never said kill. They just said they will take care of her." T

"Have you called Tenor?" She asked him."I just texted him barely a minute ago. Do not worry, I told you there will always be parking space for us." He reassured her."Why did you ask Bruce to stay back and wait for Anna and her godson?" She asked, in her usual inquisitive nature."And here we go again." Simon started with a mild laughter. "Always inquisitive." He said."Oh well, I can't help it." Paige chuckled."Jack is Bruce's son." He replied."Bruce is married?" She asked surprised. "He was, but not anymore.""What happened?" Paige pushed further on."I really can't recall the whole detail. But, she left." He replied. "She has her reasons though. I'm not judging or blaming her unless I hear her own side of the story." He added."I never knew he had a son." She said looking at Simon who had his eyes glued to the road with a smile.He adjusted the steering wheel with one hand and with the other hand, he traced for Paige's fingers and when he found it, he entwined his with it and sl

"Uncle Simon." little Jack ran to Simon and hugged him. He stood from his seat at the study and quickly grabbed Jack, lifting him off his feet happily."How is my little professor doing?" Simon asked happily."I'm good now. School wanted to drain me out, but fortunately, Aunt Anna saved my life." Jack replied."Hmm, so much sarcasm at such an age. How old are you again?" Simon asked, dropping him on a seat while Anna shut the door to the study."I am a big man uncle, age is just a number." Jack replied."That is not an answer to uncle's question, Jack." Anna scolded amidst laughter. "Now run along, I want to talk to your uncle." Anna told him."Okay, I'll see you later. I'll be with Grandma Emily if anybody needs me." Jack shouted as he ran off. Anna took a seat opposite Simon with an expectant face."Sherman said you asked to see me, you did miss me so much didn't you?" She asked with a smile after sitting down comfortably. "What is so important that you couldn't wait to see me?""Ann

Simon smiled warmly as he took another sip of his wine. "You sound like one of my therapists back in the day." He gave out a short laughter. "She was so good with speech and I always feel the impact of her words in my head. You just made so much sense. I never considered nor thought of any of these before now." He said, rubbing his forehead. "I will speak to her first thing tomorrow morning. I will help get a very good therapist for her if she is open to it." He said caressing her cheek with his right hand."Thank you for taking care of my mother like she's yours. It felt so good watching you read a story to them.""You were watching us from behind? I never knew." Paige laughed. "So you saw me barking like a dog." She laughed even more."No baby, I saw you roaring like a lion.""Oh, that's the worst." She exclaimed, laughing. "Ahha! while you were away, I visited the balcony." She said to him recalling her last visit to the balcony.Simon looked at her and offered her a drink from his

"Dad, Dakar cleans his money. He has lots of legitimate businesses that are also making him money, and he is willing to become our biggest investor." Frank pushed hard."Why, what does he want in return? Why does he want to invest in our company? In fact, I don't want to know. We are not taking the offer. We only lost a couple of investors. That doesn't mean the end of the world. Businesses go through hard times. By Monday, we will start working on alternatives and will also reach out to more investors. I am not letting a fraudster, a killer, and a drug lord into my business. I would rather die than let that happen." Noah declared. "Have you forgotten that he has a hand in Morrison Kentley's death?" He reminded his son."Alleged Dad, the word there is alleged. Besides, I heard that they were good business partners. What does that tell you, if Morrison Kentley and Dakar partners and you claim that Dakar's money is unclean, then that should tell you that even the great Kentley was into s
