"What is it?" Alex asked, noticing the hesitation on her face.

Anna looked at Shelly, patting her hand as she said, "If I am going to do this, you need to follow my lead."

"You don't want to help us?" Adam asked, his eyes clouded with confusion.

"Ms. Howard, I know you must have reservations, but this is a murder case, and we need to take extra caution." Alex responded.

Anna sighed, placed her elbow on the desk as she explained, "No, that's not what I mean. I know that you need my testimony to make sense of what happened that night. I know who might be behind this, but I need to know that you will follow my lead."

Alex's face cleared in understanding at her words as he asked, "Why do you want us to follow your lead?"

Anna stood up, walked over to the window in the room, and turned her back to them as she stared out at the city.

"We know how difficult this must be for you, Anna, but we need to know." Adam encouraged.

Alex sighed deeply and stated, "Ms. Howard, this case is critical. If

    “What is that look on your face?” Anna asked.“You need to come see this," Nat replied.“See what?” Anna asked.“Where’s the fun if I tell you now?” Nat asked as they walked down the stairs.When they got to the living room, Nat started to walk towards the front door, and Anna wondered why.“Where exactly is this thing you want to show me?” Anna asked.“Just come with me and you’ll see.” Nat replied.Anna could see Clayton laughing from where he sat; she glanced at him, raising her brow in question, but he just shrugged.“I hope this is not some prank, Nat,” Anna called out as she walked out the door behind her."No, it’s not; let’s just go. You are really a spoilsport." Nat mumbled.They walked out of the compound, headed around the house till they were at the mini gate to Simon’s place.“No, Nat, no, why would you…” Anna started to object.“Chill, Anna, and see what I brought you to see.” Nat said, pushing open the gate.Anna was pissed, but as the gate opened, her eyes caught somet

    Back at the Parker group, Gideon opened the door to his father’s office, rushing in as Paul looked up from his work.The look on Gideon's face showed he had something urgent he needed to share."Dad, we need to ask the court to move up the date.” Gideon stated.Paul frowned in question, asking, "And why is that? It’s not like the court is a personal property that we can move whenever we choose.”“I think Simon is on the move; I just found out that the Zhang project is almost closing out, and so are some of the other projects going on within the organization." Gideon replied.“Even if they do, once we win the case, you’ll still have the authority to look through them all.” Paul said, completely relaxed.Gideon, on the other hand, was worried; he didn’t see why his father was not seeing the urgency of the matter at hand.He started to pace, raking a hand through his hair in frustration as he said, “Dad, I think Simon is going to fight this.”Paul sighed, looked up again, and asked, “Why

    Simon walked back to his office and opened the letter that had been sent directly to his office from the court.“Hmm,” he murmured as he read through the content.At that same moment, his father walked into his office, holding some files.“Dad?” Simon called in surprise.“Yes, I know how this looks,” Noah smiled as he sat down in front of Simon’s table.“Yeah, I didn’t expect it to be over so soon.” Simon replied.“Turns out there wasn’t much to be done in the first place.” Noah replied, adding, “The implementation stage is the remaining part of the project. Every other part has been taken care of.”“Oh, that’s good to know.” Simon sighed.Taking Gideon off the Zhang project was one of the best things he had done in recent times, Simon thought.“Now that I have had it looked over like you wanted, care to explain the reason behind all these plans?” Noah asked.Simon shook his head and replied, “I am only preparing for the war Gideon and Uncle Paul are bringing my way.”“And the project

    Michael paused, then shook his head and continued, saying, “Anna, I’m afraid I can’t allow that.”For a second Anna sat there without saying a word and only stared at him with her brow raised. The room pulsed with silence, thick and suffocating like smoke.“I know and hear all you say, but I can’t just allow you to go work on something for the Parker group. For as long as the contract stands, this can’t happen.” Michael added, his voice firm.“And if I go ahead and do it regardless?" Anna asked.“Let’s not get into something that would spoil the relationship we have been building, Anna.” Michael warned.Anna could see the seriousness in Michael's eyes and knew she had to tread carefully.His mind was made up, and Anna could see it in his eyes. There was no reasoning with him that they could do it again. It was just going to be a waste of time, so Anna stood up.“I believe we have some leverage if we decide to forfeit the last project, Michael.” Clayton suddenly said.Anna paused, her

    Anna thought about what Loveth said; the words kept echoing in her mind. "You'll be fine as long as you stay true to yourself." Loveth added, taking a sip from her cup. Anna nodded, deciding to let everything play out and hoping that she could trust her kids. "You can go to Daddy's place." Anna said as she walked out of the kitchen moments later. The triplet's face lighted up in excitement at her words as they looked up at her. "But Billy has to go with you, okay?" Anna added. "Okay," they chorused, nodding in affirmation. Anna instructed Billy to pack up the rest of the gift to their room and reiterated her instruction on following them to Simon's place later that night. "Yes, I will," Billy responded. Anna, Clayton, and Nat left the house together, heading to the Gary head office. "So, how long do we have to spend with the Gary group now?" Nat asked, glancing over at Clayton. "One more bid and we are done." Clayton responded. "Oh, that's wonderful. That means we would ha

    When Anna woke up the next morning, all thoughts of David were pushed to the back of her mind till she was ready to deal with it.By the time she got dressed and headed to the living room, it was past ten.“Don’t drop that; be careful.” Nat cautioned.Anna’s brow went up in shock at the chaos that was the living room. Everywhere was filled with a bag of unopened gifts.“What is going on here?” Anna asked.“You should ask your man, but these ones are definitely loving every bit of it.” Nat whispered, nodding at the kids.Each of them held a new iPad while surrounded by some other kind of new toys.“Looks like he is going to spoil his kids for all the years he missed.” Loveth whispered too as she walked by Anna with a cup of coffee.“Well, all this is not a way to bond with your kids. He would know if he was actually trying to.” Anna muttered under her breath.“Mom, can we go to Dad's place tonight?" James asked, as if on cue.“You can’t just ask him to go to…” Anna started to say“Dad
