In the house, Nat headed out of the children's room only to see Loveth coming up with Clayton and Steve."Where are you going? Did you find another one?" Nat asked, raising her brow in displeasure."No, we are giving them some space." Loveth responded."Oh," Nat murmured, as the meaning behind Loveth's words became clear."Looks like they are not in the living room; I can't hear their voices." Clayton stated."Still, we should wait here till one of them calls on us or walks up here." Nat replied."I agree." Steve mumbled, still in shock."I'm sure you can all let this go, seeing as it's just the children's prank." Loveth said, turning to face Steve."I can't really say, ma'am; the damage done was actually real. I don't know how they were able to pull it off, but it was a real panic on our end." Steve explained."But they are just kids." Nat stated with a shrug."Who are obviously his," Loveth muttered under her breath."I know how this all looks, but we need to ask the kids how they w
Anna's face went from full-blown shock to anger and then to amazement in a split second."Who brought that?" Anna asked.The triplet stood up abruptly, their heads bent as they wriggled their hands together nervously."Looks like we found our evidence." Steve stated, picking up the device from the floor."What is it, Anna?" Nat asked in confusion."Simon, it looks like it's finally over." Steve stated, looking towards him.He was still standing at the door, his ghostly white face gradually reducing as his frozen heart picked up pace."Simon?" Steve called again, wondering what was wrong with him.Simon moved into the room, feeling his whole body tremble, but he tried to place it under control. He needed to find out what was going on."Care to explain what that does?" Simon asked, his voice steady.Anna raked a hand through her hair, looking at her kids and cursing under her breath."Mom, sorry," Jasmine said, looking up at her before glancing at Simon.Simon felt like she was reaching
******* An Hour Earlier *******Simon was pissed that Anna had left the conference the day before. The fact that it had happened after the encounter between them only got on his nerves."Does she find me so repulsive?" Simon muttered under his breath.It had been up to two hours since they left the resort, and he had been lost in thought the whole time. Being unable to shift Anna from his mind made him pissed at himself.At that moment, his phone rang; a call was coming in from Steve."Where are you?" That was the first thing Steve said as he picked up the call."Close to town," Simon grunted."We finally located the location, Simon; we need to head there now if we are to catch whoever is behind this." Steve explained.Simon's heart skipped, his whole body tense as he asked, "Is it Anna's location?""Yes, and it's pinpointing the exact location as before, although she's still out of town, so it might actually not be her." Steve replied."F*ck!" Simon cursed under his breath, adding, "
Michael shrugged and looked away for a second before looking back at Nat through the rearview mirror. “What?” Nat insisted. “He’s been acting all weird since Anna left and since his encounter with Simon," Michael stated. “You saw that?” Nat asked. "Yes, I did, but that is not the point. He probably has a lot of things on his mind and needs time alone. So let's not make him not going back to town with us a big deal.” Michael explained. “I quite agree with you.” Clayton mumbled. “I think there is actually more to him and Simon,” Michael stated. There was an awkward silence in the car as they all stared out the car. After a few seconds, Nat asked, “Why do you say that?” “I don’t know, might just be me, you know what? Let's forget all that.” Michael replied, smiling warmly at her. “Let’s move on to conversations like how we are going to settle things now that Fisher Telecoms is coming back on its feet.” Clayton said in excitement as he winked at Nat. “Yeah, okay,” Nat replied.
There was a determined look on Alex's face as he spoke, his voice dropping a notch.Anna glanced over at him with a raised brow and asked, "What do you mean by one last thing?""We need to confirm if Simon was indeed admitted to any hospital that night. That is the only way to confirm this alibi." Alex responded."Okay, and then what?" Anna asked"I'm afraid we would have to remove him as our prime suspect." Alex replied."Damn it," Anna cursed under her breath before adding, "How fast do you think you can find out about it?""Shouldn't take up to a few hours; we can get to work right now." Alex responded."Then let's go. I think knowing now is the best thing for my mind right now." Anna stated.Alex nodded, taking a sip of his drink. They sat there in silence for another ten minutes till they were done with their drinks.By the time they got to the station, Alex got to work. Putting his team on the hunt for anything five years ago.After about thirty minutes, Alex walked back to Anna
Simon looked up to see Charlotte standing right there, her eyes blazing hot, her hands folded on her chest."William, go right on; I'll be with you shortly." Simon whispered."Okay," William responded, looking from Simon to Charlotte.He didn't quite trust her, but there was nothing he could do about it now. After the scene with David back there, he hoped that she was not going to cause a bigger one.As William walked away, Simon moved closer to Charlotte and asked, "What do you want?""Same question you have asked me for a while now, which I believe you know the answer to." Charlotte snapped."I doubt that I do, and as you can see, you're supposed to head back home now that the program is over. Well, except you are spending the night here like the rest of us." Simon said with a shrug."Don't play dumb with me, Simon. Why are you h*ll-bent on doing this to us?" Charlotte asked."I am not doing anything, Charlotte, because there is no us to begin with in the first place." Simon replied
