"Madam Tess, I am not an invalid!" Eva fumed, standing in the door of the kitchen with her arms crossed. "I don't need a sitter."

Madam Tess looked up from where she carefully arranged slices of freshly baked cake on a plate. "And I am not a babysitter, Miss Eva," she returned as she smiled warmly. "I'm here to help. Now sit down. You'll hurt yourself trying to do everything alone."

Eva groaned but sat reluctantly at the dining table. "I can make my own snacks, you know."

"But can you do them as good as this?" Madam Tess teased, setting the plate before Eva.

Her eyes suspicious, Eva eyed the cake before taking a mouthful. The strong chocolate flavor dissolving inside her mouth had her eyes going wide, "Ok, you win this round," she mumbled over the mouthful.

Madam Tess giggled, tugging the chair up and plopping her bottom down opposite Eva. "You really are the sweetest young woman to attend to. You really make things easier."

Eva swallowed, raising an eyebrow. "You know, I wasn't exact

    The Wadsley's mansion was filled with the loud sobs of Eleanor Wadsley. “Oh my God, my poor baby. What do I do now? They still haven't found her.” She sat on the floor of the sitting room, and continuously hit her chest with her fist. “Mom! Please stop. Don't hurt yourself.” Ava held her hand. “Dad, Ryan and Shawn are working on it, they will find her soon.” The sad and cold atmosphere lingered in the Wadsley mansion since Eva's kidnapping. Eleanor Wadsley cried till she couldn't cry anymore for the past three days and Richard Wadsley barely sleeps at night and goes out everyday in search of Eva. Ava is overwhelmed because of the situation, she's trying her best to help find Eva and she also has to be there for their company and her mother “Mom, please you have to eat something or else you'll get sick.” She signalled to a maid who brought a tray of food to the table. Eleanor pushed it aside. “How can I eat comfortably when I don't know if my child is being starved? I wouldn't eat

    The lights were off, save the soft amber glow of the small lamp on the table and the light coming from Shawn's laptop. He was looking really devastated. After everything, he had prepared to expose his uncle, Victor, and Norman, for good. He lost his chance, and he put Eva and his unborn child in danger. He rubbed his palm on his face and groaned. “I'm really sorry, Eva. I should have seen this coming.” He picked up her photo frame on the table and gazed at it , the image seared into his brain. He imagined how she's been treated and how frightened she might be. “Please hold on, Eva. I'll find you.” He stopped sulking and picked up his phone to dial a contact. It rang three times before the person answered "Neil. I need help. Now." Shawn said immediately. "Shawn? It's late. Nice to hear from you, too.” The person on the other end teased. "I'm sorry for calling you at this hour, but I really need your help. I need you to trace a number for me.” Shawn went straight to the point.

    The dining room fell into an awkward silence with Shawn's sudden action.Jonathan Darlington leaned back in his chair, jaw clenched, eyes flashing to everyone’s faces one at a time. "What are all these?" he growled. “Did you all bring me here for this bullshit?”Ryan stood abruptly. “Excuse me. I need to go find Shawn.” Ava shook her head sternly. “I’ll go with you.”The two of them moved quietly past the door, leaving the rest of the family in a disturbed emotional state.”Jonathan banged his fist on the table. “Why isn’t anyone speaking?” Norman got up, placing his reassuring hand on his grandfather's shoulder, "Grandfather, please don’t be offended with Shawn. He's so agitated these days, and currently has been facing alot of troubles, especially with the Wadsley twins messing with his head.”Victor went on, his voice heavy with feigned sympathy, "Come on, Father. It's a desperate cry on Shawn's part. He couldn’t accept the fact that you handed the project to Norman, and he’s tr

    Eva was still lying on the examination table,her eyes fixed on the bright light above her head as the Doctor beside her spoke, "The baby's heartbeat is stable, Miss Wadsley. It's growing strong and healthy.” Eva nodded, her fist remaining on her belly."But." The Doctor's Voice dropped. "I think you have been going through some stress lately–mainly mental stress. Your blood pressure is higher than usual and isn't good for both you and your baby. I'd advise you to stay in bed more often, relax your mind of anything bothering you.Eva nodded again, her mind a thousand miles away from where she was. She was worried about Shawn and her family, and how the dinner was going. “I'll try my best, Doctor. Thank you.” She walked through the lit hallway of the hospital out to the cold breeze blowing in the dark, trying to shake the pain in her heart. She walked to the parking lot and her driver got out of the car to open the door far after he spotted her from afar.Suddenly, A van drove swift

    Soft whispers and clinking silver echoed off high Darlington mansion dining room walls. A crystal chandelier sparkled, a warm golden light casting down on the formal dining table, falling into shadow on tension-seared faces of the Darlington family. There was a thick hush, not peace but storm-before calm.Victor Darlington reclined in his chair, eyes scanning his son, Norman, and then glancing over to Henry and Shawn. Wine glass was still half-full, his jaw clenched tightly. Something was off. He was sure of that.Norman wiped his damped palms on his trouser under the table, glancing uncomfortable at shawn. Shawn hadn't been talking much since they arrived. His demeanor was so calm that it scared them. Henry cleared his throat, laying his knife and fork on his plate. "Father," he stated, with a soft but firm voice. "Thanks for coming tonight. I know that it's rare for us to all sit down and have a meal like this."Jonathan Darlington, founder-head of family business Darlington Enter

    The Wadsley’s mansion was filled with tension. Shawn entered the room, his piercing eyes surveying those already seated in front of him at the table in a row down the long mahogany. His father, Henry Darlington sat opposite Richard Wadsley, who presided at the head of the table, tapping fingers on the wood in a deliberate rhythm, face with an impassive mask, and Ryan Wadsley leaned back in his chair, arms folded, and nodded to greet shawn.“I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting.” he bowed before settling down and didn’t waste any seconds before speaking. "We don’t have much time." His voice cut through the stifling silence. "Uncle Victor and Norman have been one step ahead of us for so long. That ends now."Henry's expression was resolute. "We already know all their plans. With Edward's recording, we've got Victor's confession. But that will never be enough. We need more evidence to expose them publicly in front of your grandfather.”Richard's teeth were firmly gritted. "My name and
