After attending a wonderful church service at the Westbrook basilica the Woodleys went their separate ways. Lewis rode with his father for their usual Sunday stroll which he used to discuss a few important things about the family with his last born son. It did not sit well with the others, Steve and Joe were always jealous. But at least they had their mother.
"He is a last born you know, you guys don't have to be this gloomy every time your father decides to take him along""He is spoiling the kid" complained Steve as the family walked to the parking lot.They were sandwitched between guards and their personal servants and drivers. Lagging behind but still within the boundaries of the guards was Bella and together with Alexis and Andy, they were engaged in a humorous banter."Lewis is not a kid anymore, come on get over this""We are okay mum Steve is just being Steve" Joe said getting his mother's door."He doesn't speak for me" Steve said going to his BentRelated chapters

George took his last born son to a fancy restaurant that served the best fish in the city. That's what he always did in case he wanted to propose something that would make Lewis uncomfortable and the son always knew what was coming all he hoped for was his father was going to ask something he could do. Although if it was anything he could brag about to his brothers he did it without demur. He didn't have to take him to that restaurant. "So what is it this time dad?" "Nothing am just having lunch with my favorite son...don't tell the others I said that" "I won't""You say that and leak our conversations, I don't want them to hate you when we are all gone"That was his biggest worry, lack of cohesion in his family. As a father he knew all his children and their limits. Steve for one was the rebellious type, always pointing out any injustice against him. But he was better than Joe because at least one could tell what he was thinking. The latter was always quiet a

That Wednesday morning Elsie woke up happy as usual. It was her first day at the office and she was excited about getting a real job apart from shopping and being driven around from one mall to another. Together with Lewis the two of them were already awake and dressed up ready for work. It was the second day in a row they were making love and it was great, the guilt was fading. It was there but fading."How do I look?" She asked coming out of the dressing room in a white blouse, black blazer and matching black skirt with its sleeves rubbing her knee caps."Stunning, am worried""I will be working with your father hunnie besides I told you again and again am all yours" she said holding his hands."I know baby" he kissed her on the lips, "this few days have been fantastic I'll miss you now that you'll be busy serving my father""It's not serving, I'll be working earning a salary like everyone else, are you okay with this?"

But some were there to embarrass her courtesy of George's biggest business nemesis, Robert Keene.It was a plot to attack the rookie Woodley and see her embarrass her family and hopefully give George something else to do apart from making sure the city remained under his iron fist."Breath Elsie, breath" George said when they got at the gate.She inhaled slowly and exhaled sharply."I will be with you, by your side. Just remember what we talked about. You beat this, your record will go straight. Use your tongue well""Okay am ready" psyched up Elsie said the source of her renewed vigor being the fact that George was not

Elsie was settling in well. On her first day she already had a bunch of papers to go through and once in a while she stopped to admire the decor in her office that was made of translucent glass all round. A glass table with a long comfy leather C-suite chair that could be adjusted up and down and move three hundred and sixty degrees, a shelf of books on her left, flowers on her table with a picture of her and Jake.On the wall there was a calendar and some art of a sad girl. She kept looking at it and pictured herself a few days back. Her PA was now automatically her secretary and she was a phone call away. It still felt like a dream to her. The office phone on her desk rang, she quickly picked it up. That was the moment she was eagerly waiting for, she had practiced how to pick calls several times."The Woodley’s empire financial department how may I help you" she said her angelic voice echoing in her own head."You don't sound like a newbie" Lewis said."Argh! It's

Elsie's first day working for the family came to an end. Generally it was a good one apart from the little hitch she ran through in the name of Frank. She arranged her papers and scribbled something in her diary. They were objectives for the next day something she had learned from her mother who by the way had not done anything to help as she promised and Elsie was so scared to call her for fear of getting scolded again. That evening she gathered enough courage. To sugar coat the whole thing with some good news. She was officially a complete woman because according to her mother such woman had to work and still take care of a family, multitasking was a key skill."Hey mum, how are you?" She asked in the nicest possible way she could."Don't try to act nice with me, fine though""Come on mum what's done is done, get over it besides am still your daughter no matter what. Your words not mine""That was before you embarrassed me and my teachings""So you are not

After seeing Elsie again Frank realized how much he had missed her and how dumb he was to say he was going to stay away and wait for her to realize she loved him. Seeing her that day super jumped his obsession to tenth fold the rate it was before and based on how close he was to ruining her marriage he had a plan to stalk her without her realizing it. And about being with Lewis? Well, he was the glass is half full kind of a guy not the half empty type."Can you believe it wade" Frank said happily helping the cook in the kitchen, he was in a great mood "He was seated there with her both of us were wrong""I warned you, can you just let the chef do her job, am sure there is news you need to be watching""Are you even listening to me Wade?""Your obsession with that girl is getting the better of you I thought we agreed you should let her go""Not easy Wade, I doubt if you've ever been where I am right now" he said leading the way back to the spacious living room.

Relax. That was the purpose of the meeting in the home office, deciding who was going to run things and no surprise here, it was Lewis. That meant the two were going to work in the same office. He or she could have popped in the others office anytime to see how they were doing, if they were breathing fine or they needed a mouth to mouth resuscitation.Tom was driving them in the reserved CEO Rolls Royce. Back left was Lewis in a grey Armani three piece suit, brown monk trap shoes on his feet, on his right was the love of his life in matching grey sheath dress, grey handbag with a pair of black wedge shoes.

For the first time in his life Frank was stepping foot into the Keene manor and it lived to his expectations. The decor, the floor the walls, the high-end furniture coated with gold and the staff busy walking to different directions. Everything screamed money and he had that soothing feeling that it was all going to be his. He had no intention to brag to Elsie about his secretive billionaire life but it was his last resort. If he exhausted all the options he was going to have to use that."Welcome home boy" Wade whispered in his ear. "Thank you" Frank said looking around."Wade my man!" The house manager, a short stout man with grey hair and a potbelly in a black suit and a badge on his left said walking downstairs. "Who else if not Bramwel!" Wade said happily as the two men hugged in a brotherly manner, they then went ahead to exchange pleasantries.Frank was left staring still on his feet. Looking lost like gazelle in a lion’s territory.
