Simon looked up at the building behind him, the crease on his face deepening in anger.

“What the h*ll?” Simon grunted and dialed William’s number.

“William, how did this pass you by?” Simon asked.

“Huh?” William mumbled over the phone.

His voice sounded like he had just been dozing off to sleep.

“William?” Simon called out strongly.

“Simon, you know some of us sleep, right?” William responded, still sounding sleepy.

“How did Anna find out about the Crawford bid?” Simon asked.

“What? Anna?” William responded suddenly, sounding instantly alert.

“You tell me,” Simon snapped.

“What… at… I… I don’t know; how am I supposed to… wait,” William stuttered, then stopped abruptly.

“What?” Simon asked.

“Do you think that is why she is going to the party tomorrow? The Alicia party?” William asked.

“Damn it, William, why does everyone choose this time to mess with me!” Simon shouted.

“Or she does not know and was only invited like every other person.” William suggested.

    Anna placed her hand on his chest and pushed herself away from his strong grip. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.The sound echoed through the street as Simon felt the sting of it, his eyes darkening in anger.“Don’t you ever put your fr*aking hands on me again!” Anna snapped.“Or else what?” Simon asked, his voice ice cold.“You won’t like what I will do to you.” Anna shouted,Her breath came in short form as she tried to put all she felt into her anger. Not wanting to feel any other thing but her anger.In a blur, Simon grabbed her again; he spun her , slamming her back against the car and pinning her in place.He was so pissed off that he refused to listen to his inner voice, which was telling him to let her go.“What exactly can you do?” Simon growled.The tension between them was thick, crackling with intensity as they both stared each other down, neither willing to back down.Simon's hand pressed against the car, his eyes burning with a dangerous fire that mad

    Simon forcefully slammed his legs on the brake, propelling himself forward. The seat belt around him was his one defense from hitting his head on the steering wheel.He had almost hit her, and there had just been a few inches between her and the front of the car. It had been a very close call.“What the h*ll,” He cursed under his breath as he unbuckled his belt, switched off the headlight, and hurried out of the car.She had appeared out of nowhere, all dressed in black and blending with the night. She had a hood over her head, making it difficult to see her face fully.Simon walked towards her and said, “Excuse me? Are you hurt? Didn’t you…”She looked up, pulling the hood from her head, her hair cascading down her back in rich allure.“What are you doing here?” Anna asked.Simon’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her, not wanting to show how his heart had skipped as she had flipped her head back.She wore a black tracksuit that glued to her body like a second skin. Her face was shining

    "What do you think I am talking about?" Gideon asked, winking at him."Don't mess with me, Gideon; it won't end well for you." Simon responded.Gideon's lips curled up in thought as he pretended to think about it. Then he shook his head, snapped his finger, and grinned."Why don't you tag along and see if I feel like I will regret it?" Gideon challenged.Simon walked up to him, his voice dropping a notch as he said, "I'm warning you, Gideon. Whatever game you're playing, leave the group out of it.""I'll see you tomorrow then," Gideon winked and walked away.Simon watched him go, feeling a sense of unease crawl up his spine. He wished he could wipe off that smug look of always getting away with anything from his face."Who is going to be there?" Simon asked as William walked up to him."Hmm, I need to find out what occasion he is going to first of all." William responded."Find out." Simon responded, his voice ice cold.Noah walked over and placed a hand on Simon's shoulder as he said

    Noah walked into the office, William right on his heels, just in time to see Simon gripping Gideon's collar."What are you both doing?" Noah demanded.Gideon's lip curled into a wicked smile that did not reach his eyes as he stared Simon down."I see thoughts of that night still haunt you, right?" Gideon whispered.Simon's hold on Gideon's collar tightened as his eyes narrowed in anger."The next time you think to grab my collar will be the day you feel the h*ll you felt that night, Simon," Gideon threatened, his voice low and menacing.Simon released Gideon and took a step back, a dangerous glint in his eyes. William hurried over to them and placed himself in front of Simon before the situation could get worse."That is no way to treat your cousin Simon, simply because you're his boss!" Paul snapped.Simon could not believe his ears as he turned to Paul and asked, "Have you paused to analyze what his stupidity will cost us?""How is the extra cost his fault? You were the one who agre

    Anna glanced over at her phone and saw the call was from Michael."I'll excuse you to take your call." Nat mumbled at the expression on Anna's face.Anna picked up the call, stood up, and walked over to the window as she said, "Hello.""Hi Anna, how are you today?" Michael asked."I'm good, what's up?" Anna responded."Could you come up to my office for a second?" Michael asked.Anna glanced back at the room, seeing everyone occupied with work, and she replied, "Sure."It took about five minutes to get to Michael's office, where she found him staring at a pile of documents."Is something wrong?" Anna asked as she took her seat in front of his desk."No, of course not. Hmm, I only called to get an update on Alicia's invitation. The party is in two days; have you made up your mind?" Michael asked.Anna had totally forgotten about the invitation, and the truth was that she had not entirely made up her mind."I don't know," Anna muttered."I know how you feel, but it's best you attend a p

    They walked towards him, their faces blank, before stopping right in front of him and folding their little hands on their chests.“Why don’t you call?” James asked.He stood between Jasmine and Jayden, staring at Simon.“Call? Who?” Simon asked, unsure what they were talking about.“Don’t you have to call them?” Jayden asked.Simon was taken aback by that; he could not place what it was they were talking about.Simon looked around, trying to see if there was anyone that could come to take them, but there was no one around.He cleared his throat and said, “Uhm, I think you’ve got the wrong person. If this has anything to do with the class today, maybe you should…”“No, we don’t; you can do better,” Jasmine stated.They all walked over to him, tapped him on the hand, and turned back to head to class.By the time Simon walked down towards the reception area, he was dumbfounded.“Simon?” William called.He looked up at the sound of his name before walking towards William.“What’s wrong?

    Charlotte had her eyebrow raised in suspicion as she waited for her father to respond."It's from Alicia White and looks like it's happening in the next week," Mr. Hawthorne responded."Alicia White? That's new." Charlotte mumbled."I'm as surprised as you are, but she is a force to be reckoned with in the media space." Mr. Hawthorne stated."I know, Dad, I just didn't expect she would extend an invitation to us," Charlotte stated, rolling her eyes."Looks like there would be a lot of people in the media space invited. Alicia does know how to play her game," Mr. Hawthorne said in awe."She is the mastermind of games, everyone knows that, and I am not in the mood for it. I'm still trying to settle in." Charlotte said, waving her hand in dismissal."That's all the more reason to attend; no one knows the game she is trying to play this time around." Mr. Hawthorne mumbled."But why would she invite me to her event after she presented the award to Anna?" Charlotte asked."I don't know, but

    When the driver pulled up in front of the Parker Learning Center that morning, the triplets had a determined look on their faces.Around them, other children were eagerly walking into the building with the wide-open door. Their backpacks slung over their shoulders, they chatted excitedly with friends. The triplets quickly hopped out of the car, hurrying towards the door."Wait a minute." Loveth called out, stopping them in their tracks."Grandma, you already said goodbye in the car." James reminded her."I know, but I have not done this," Loveth stated as she kissed their head."Can we go now?" Jayden asked."Yes, and you have a nice day," Loveth called out to them as they walked away."We will," Jasmine responded over her shoulder."What's in that bag?" Loveth shouted, noticing Jayden's bag was a little bigger than the rest."It's my book and toy for the class," Jayden shouted in response, his lips lifting into a grin.Before Loveth could ask more, they were already at the door, so s
