“You’re asking me to leave because I care for my son?” Her voice is getting louder with each word.
Oh, boy.
“Our son.” My father replies, emphasizing on each word.
I can tell that he is on his last nerve and he might snap at any moment.

“Look, Jane. You don’t just get to walk right back into our lives like nothing happened.” He says as he sits down back on the couch.
“I didn’t have a choice.” She says and he laughs.
“Don’t feed me that bull crap, Jane. You had more than a choice, you literally left us to have an affair.”
“You’re sick, Sam.” She says.A knock on the door startles us and Dr. Nelson opens it and walks in.“I have excellent news, all the tests came back and they are looking good. Quincy will be discharged tomorrow.” He says cheerfully, but it looks like my parents are going to chew him raw..................“What?” My father asks loudly.“Are you hearing yourself?” My mother joins in.“You can’t just discharge someone that almost died a day ago.” My mother points out.And she is making a good point. My last doctor said a lot of serious things. But who am I to defy the tests of this new hospital.This one is bigger, more equipped
A few spam emails pops up, and then I see what I’m looking for. An email from her.I open it as fast as my movements can allow me to, and I first see greetings and questions about how I’m doing. But then I see something that makes my mouth drop in awe.“What the hell?” I say to myself slowly..................Is Davina joking?She has to be, because this can’t be real.The part of the email that shocks me reads:“Quincy, I have something important that I need you to do for me. This is something I need done as soon as possible, and I trust no one else but you.
“Quincy, let me call you back later, okay? Today is my wedding day and I’m so busy.” She says and though I am shocked that today is her wedding day, I respond casually.“Sure, I will be waiting for your call. And oh, congratulations!” I say but she doesn’t reply. She just simply ends the call.............It’s the next day and I have showered and I have gotten ready to leave the hospital. All the necessary paperworks are signed and I have collected all my medications.I have a few warnings from my doctor, but they all total to me being more careful and healthy.I’m now sitting downstairs, still in the hospital, waiting for my father to pick me up.
When we reach the elevator, it takes a few seconds before it opens. And when it does, who we see makes me to almost lose my breath.It’s Daniel Sims.He’s standing in the elevator with his hands in his pockets, just staring and smiling at us cynically..............“What the hell are you doing here?” My father launches towards him and holds him up against the elevator wall. He lifts his hands in surrender and smirks.“I come in peace. I have come in peace, Sam.” He says and my father releases him.There are other people in the lobby and most of them seem to be looking at us.“Let&r
“Quincy.” She says my name somberly. “Just know that my entire life depends on you being the CEO.”“Are you okay?” I ask her in all seriousness. “Do you need help?”“The only help I need from you right now is for you to be the CEO of fantasy.” She says and then she ends the call.Well, that doesn’t sound good. .............She is joking, right? She must be joking.I spend the rest of the night preparing for my visit to the company tomorrow. I know I just got discharged from the hospital and I should rest more, but Davina needs me to do this.And what’s important to her, is fo
“Quincy Daniels?” She asks and I gulp involuntarily.“Yes? Are you Iris?” I ask and I reach out my hands for a handshake, but she only stares at it and chuckles lightly.“Davina made a huge mistake.” She says as she turns back around and begins to walk towards her car...............“Wait, hold up!” I say as I follow her across the street.I look back briefly at my father and he waves goodbye to me. “Good luck!” He says loudly and then begins to walk towards his own car.“Don’t give me orders.” She says and I stop myself from speaking another word.When she reaches her car, she whips
I follow Iris as she walks past a counter towards the elevator. She gives a small smile to the guy behind the huge marble counter not far from the elevator, and he smiles back.But wait, I know this guy.The bastard is Daniel Sims.Is this psycho following me everywhere I go?.............He does not recognize me at first, it must be the suit.But then he looks at my face once more and a shocked expression crosses his face.“No way.” He says to himself.“Well, I’d be damned, what are you doing here, Quincy?” He asks me and I scoff.“Quincy, hurry.&
He begins to pack the documents back into his bag without looking at me.“You, Mr. Daniels may be the CEO for the company now, but you are certainly not my CEO.” He says as he places the last paper in his black bag.“Mr. Chan.” I say to him and he scoffs.“Go work at a coffee shop, kid.” His words causes me to snap..............The amount of anger that rushes through me as the words leaves his lips is abounding.He stands up from the chair and nods at Iris who has her face in her hand, clearly uncomfortable with what’s happening.I hate when I get mad like this, because I become a spectator and my emotions take full control
