Tom headed straight home out of anger and frustration. He met his wife, Jane, coming out of the kitchen with a glass of water, dressed in her nightwear, and about to retire to bed.

Jane stopped halfway when she saw Tom walk into the house, flared up and obviously angered and seeking whom to vent to.

“You’re back,” Jane said nonchalantly and was about to walk away with her glass of water.

“It was you! It was you, wasn’t it?” Tom asked as he came a bit closer.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to understand if you aren’t clear with your words, Tom” Jane turned to him and said.

“You know damn right what I am talking about Jane! It was you who threatened Selena!” Tom said in a high tone.

“So you certify there was another woman, Tom” Jane said.

“That is not the point! Why in the world would you butt into my personal affairs!?” Tom queried.

“Your personal affairs? Did you just say your personal affairs??……..there has been no personal affairs between us ever since you married me!” Jane said and

    *BRAN’S POV*“What is this about a delay in the materials? Why didn't you tell me this?” I said, angry at him.“I am sorry sir, I didn't think it could be a reason behind her delay at work” Pierre apologized.“It's fine….and why is there a delay in supply all of a sudden? I am sure Tessa had all of these taken care of when Sophia was away” I said, puzzled.“Yes sir, they had everything signed and agreed upon. Mr George suddenly didn't supply the materials on the said date” Pierre reported.“Do you have his contact? Or how I can reach him?” I asked as I paced the room. “I have his company's line but I can easily get his personal contact,” Pierre said.“Please do and send it to me” I ordered.“Alright sir…..I will take my leave now” Pierre said and exited the main house. I was still lost in thoughts on why Sophia decided to keep what happened today from me when Henna drove in and came into the house. “Let me guess, waiting up for Sophia,” she said as she stepped in. I ignored her, p

    “We should do this again next weekend,” Tom chipped in. His hands slid right around her waist, and she let out a faint smile.“Mr Garner, you can't seem to take your hands off me,” she said seductively while she fiddled with the golf club. “I must say you have me smitten, Selena” Tom laughed and handed over his golf club to his caddie. “The usual location?” Selena asked as she handed over her golf club to her caddie and walked towards the exit. “Of course”“I will be waiting,” Selena said and winked at Tom before getting into the car that arrived to pick her up. They drove off.Tom’s secretary rushed over to his side with a bottle of water and a handkerchief.“What is the next thing on my schedule?” Tom said as he collected the towel, wiped his sweat, opened the water and drank.“You have to meet with the committee created for the New City Hall bidding competition” he reported as he opened the car door.“Oh right, the bidding competition” Tom got into the car and the secretary shu

    “Ren prepare the car,” Jane said as she stood from the couch in the main living room.“Yes ma'am,” Ren said and headed out of the house to get the car ready.Jane was dressed as she stepped out of the house and headed to the car with her handbag. Ren opened the car door for her as she got into the car.“Where are we going today ma'am? ” Ren asked as he looked back at Jane.“Why don't we pay Sophia’s office a visit?” Jane said as she applied a red lipstick she brought out from her handbag on her lips. “Yes ma'am” Ren drove the car from the residence and headed to Sophia’s office. *SOPHIA’S POV* I was busy going through some files and trying to finalize all that we needed to make the launch a success when Tessa knocked and walked in.“Thank goodness you're here, please I need to go through the design team drafts once more, I can't seem to place my fingers on it but I just feel something is missing” I quickly said and was deep head into what I was going through in the files.“O

    “I believe you know what I mean Henna,” Jane said this and came close to Henna.“You and I know why you are here in the Garner’s residence and you and I know what it is you have been up to,” Jane said and poked her shoulder with a finger. “I don’t quite understand you Mrs Garner….. the only reason I am here is to look out for my sister Sophia and the company” Henna refuted.Jane let out a short laugh as she took a few steps back. “Look out for your sister? Is it the same one you wanted out of the picture? Quite interesting” Jane said in a low voice. “I think we best go back to being invisible to each other, that way I wouldn’t be in the way of your plans and you wouldn’t be in the way of mine” Henna suggested, her hand clutched to her handbag as Ren’s emotionless and poker face made her nervous. “Are you sure about that?” Jane asked, her voice dominating. “What?” Henna asked.“Are you certain you are not in the way of my plans?” Jane asked. “Yes, I will carry out what I have in

    Mr Tyler was seated in his study and had ended the call with Sophia as he placed the phone on the table before him.“Did she say she would come?” Henna inquired, standing right beside her Dad.“She did not say but, of course, she will be present. She must still have a bit of filial duty towards me,” he said with confidence.“I am sure she does, but not as much as I have towards you Dad,” Henna said and smiled.“Of course, that is exactly why you are my daughter” he replied and smiled too.“But what exactly are you trying to do by having Sophia attend my birthday party?” he inquired. “She has been married into the Garner family and has suddenly forgotten the exact reason why she went there in the first place,” Henna argued.“True, she seems to have forgotten….. I heard the Garner Industry would be joining the bidding competition for the new city hall” he said“That is what I heard too, if we still had our company, we might have struck a chance to join in the bidding too,” Henna said.
