In Love Again 25: NO GOING BACK NOW
Ever since the call to Alvira the previous day, the Walkers' mansion lost its cheerful glow and it was beginning to seem as if things would be returning to the way they used to be before Alvira showed up. Simon went up to his room and never came down, dinner was refused, and anyone who knocked on his door was either chased away or fired. By the next morning, no one dared to go near his room's door or make a sound loud enough to draw his attention, as everyone feared for their job. Jared could only sigh, what he feared was coming to pass immediately. No one was sure why he was reverting so quickly, maybe Alvira gave Simon a purpose for his uneventful life. Maybe seeing someone who never gave up no matter how much he bullied her, gave the hopeless man some hope and made him more curious about life. No one knew. "Where is Simon?!" Asher asked as he rushed to the foot of the stairs, disrupting the thoughts of Jared who had been standing there for the past hour, wondering if it wa
In Love Again 26: POWER ENTRANCE
In the next two hours, Simon and Asher got themselves busy, Simon got ready for the ceremony, while Asher called a few board members who turned out to have already seen the news and were more than happy to escort the company's president that has been recuperating for the past three years. More board members also got the news from their colleagues and called as the news seem to have become a hot gist amongst the board members that Simon would be attending the contract signing ceremony. Simon got himself dressed in a pure black suit that matched the occasion and the color of his now sleeked-back black hair and found himself seated in an automatic wheelchair that Asher had bought urgently to add to the effect. When they were ready to leave for the ceremony, a new guest arrived and Asher rushed to Simon. "Simon! There has been a new development." He said and Simon looked up at him from the automatic wheelchair that he had always wanted. "What development?' He asked and Asher immedi
In Love Again 27: RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT.
"Uh," Josh laughed nervously as he turned to the crowd, "I guess it is my honor then, to welcome back the president of Walkers' group of companies. 'Simon Walker', can we welcome Simon back home with a round of applause?" He said and the hall burst into a round of applause and cheers. As they cheered, the press clicked their cameras continuously while the reporters present there clacked away busily on the keyboard of their laptops as each of them wanted to be the first to release the news of Simon's return to the public Simon professionally smiled at the clicking cameras. One that he had learned from a very young age to present to the press along with an unreadable facial expression. "Hmn!" Josh began to clear his throat again in an attempt to restore the attention of the press back to himself, it took a few minutes for the desperate clicking of cameras to reduce but when it finally did, Josh smiled. "It is really an honor to have you back Simon, and to have you witness this great

His family was complete, his grandson was healed emotionally, back to his senses and now was back to his rightful place. Everything thing was back to the way it used to be. He thought with a smile still plastered on his face as he looked around the table where he and his wife were having dinner with Simon and Asher. He caught his wife's eyes staring at him as she gave him a knowing look that said they shared the same thought before she smiled. They both understood the comfort they got from having their grandson back on track, in fact, it made their dinner taste more delicious than it actually was, and it was all because they had employed that young woman. A woman they had actually employed not because they believed in her ability but because they wanted to help her since she really needed the money.Who would have thought that their good deed was a step in the right direction tow

She walked to a house in particular and looked at its number before looking at the number on the paper again. nodding with affirmation, she walked to the house and rang the bell. She waited a while but no one answered, she frowned and went to ring it again and waited for some time but there was still no response. Just as she began to wonder if they were not at home she saw the door of the house next door open and a woman about her age walked out carrying a totes bag which she hung on her shoulder. "Excuse me!" Sarah called at her as she walked hurriedly towards the other house. "Excuse me," She called again as she approached the woman who had now seen her. The woman looked from her to the direction from which she had come and frowned. "A
In Love Again 30: WHAT HE DOES BEST
Simon wheeled his chair out of the six hours meeting he had been at all morning, the major reason for the meeting was nothing short of him discussing the way forward out of the company's predicament, the emergency means by which they could save the company, and bring it back to its former glory. All the directors had nothing to say in objection to what he had suggested, they looked up to him with absolute trust and agreed with whatever he thought was best. There was nothing much they could have said anyway, they were still very ashamed and embarrassed at their actions. The fact that they had been in the company for more than ten years and did not realize that the company had almost been lost to a cheap fraud was an utter embarrassment and so they all listened humbly.Even if they didn't want to they had no choice, the early morning business news prime topic had been on how a company of that size and with that amount of shareholders could fall victim to that kind of cheap fraud and

Sarah walked into the private living room where she knew Ben would be, as he liked to spend his time there relaxing after a busy day's work. She had planned to just pay a condolence visit to the grave site, spend a few minutes there, and probably stay till the moment of sand pouring before she left but Emily had broken down in tears at the moment of sand pouring and had become so unconsolable that she ended up exhausting herself and passing out, thereby causing a commotion at the grave site. An ambulance was called and because of her own worry for Alvira, she stayed with her at the hospital until her mother finally woke up. Some family members had followed them while the others claimed that they needed to be at the grave site till the end of the burial but even then, they never showed up until she left later that night. "Hey darling," She greeted as she walked in and kissed Ben's cheek. "Hey, how has been your day?" He asked not bothering to look up as she rounded his chair to hav

As she walked into the kitchen, she look around it, sighed, and began to make preparation to prepare breakfast despite not even being sure of what she wanted to make for breakfast.She heard a noise coming from the stairway and was forced to look up to see her mother walking toward her. "Mom?" She called in a surprised and relieved manner.Her mother had been so calm ever since the death of her father, but she stayed in bed longer than she should and would suddenly bust into tears on impulse, a method of grief that was quite different from Alvira's explosive but short one. "Hello darling," Emily said as she walked to the refrigerator and got herself some cold water. "I didn't expect to see you awake already," Alvira said, and Emily nodded as she grabbed a cup and poured herself some water.
