Meanwhile, at Eddies home. They were already at the dinner table. They were just four people at the table- Eddie, his mom, Dad and another lady- but the table had more space for more ten. It was a very big diner. Eddies parents sat directly opposite each other from a each end of the table. Eddie himself sat directly opposite from the lady at the middle."Kelly, how's your studies going?" Eddies mother asked. "Oh, I heard you got accepted into Harvard's. It's that true?" Eddies mom asked pleasantly. They had or rather she had arranged for Eddie to marry Kelly because they were both from rich families."Yeah Mrs Smith." Kelly answered with a wide smile. She seemed very proud of herself. At the glance at Eddie, she met a hateful look and composed herself."Eddie here is doing quite well himself. This must be fate. Did Eddie ever tell you he is a graduate if Harvard himself? I was so proud of him seeing him stand confidently and handsomely on the stage as they handed him his certificate d

Angel waited for James till he was done. James didn't want to tell his mom about Lizzy's passing, but she got a hint of the situation with her adult instincts, and decided not to talk about it. Also, the change in James' altitude, his expression and inability to talk as much as he used to or cheer her on gave away everything."Come here son." Mrs Jose, James mother said in a sad tone. Stretching her two arms forward to hug James. James hugged her so tight that he almost busted out in tears again. He sobbed as his mom patted his back."Dear dear, everything's going to be A'okay. Momma's here for you." His mom tried as hard as she could to compose herself. She wanted to be strong for James and not just be a useless mother lying helplessly on a sick hospital bed.James doubted the words that his mom spoke. He felt hopeless. It was as if he had lost everything he had been fighting for. It was finally getting late and James kissed his mom on the forehead and left.***********There was an

"Hey! Where are you rushing off to? I've been looking everywhere for you." Angel rushed James who was in a haste. She noticed the sad look on his face and immediately hid the contract paper on her hand."What's wrong?" She asked feeling concerned."I have a friend who's been hospitalized I need to go see. I'm the only one she has. Please permit me to take the day off." He pleaded."Oh. Hope it's not too bad?" She asked with concern. James only shook his head in response."Okay, please take good care then." She replied. She had wanted to tell James about the contract, but it seemed not to be the best time for that. She felt a little disappointed after she had summoned the courage and practiced lines to use."Let me come with you. I can drive you. I don't think you're in a good state to drive anyway." Angel said as she grabbed James by the hand when he turned to leave. She insisted to go with him on seeing how tensed up James was."Oh, there's no need. I can manage." He replied"I insis

Angel yawned as she sat up from her bed. She stretched her two arms wide then her whole body."Urgh... My head aches." She grumbled, massaging her full, soft, curly hair with the tips of her fingers. She finally opened her eyes but to meet blurry and unstable images."Where am I?" She mumbled. She wiped her eyes with her two hands then tried reopening her eyes. And this time, the images where a bit clearer."When did I get here?" She asked in astonishment seeing herself back in her room. Then she peeped under her sheets to know if she was still in her work outfit, but to her surprise, she was in her white lilyn cotton night wear. She was about to panic before a knock came to her door, and before she could answer it, the door creaked open."Oh... You're awake." Grace said nervously."Why wouldn't I be?" Angel finally got up and headed for her window. She opened the floral white cottons allowing rays of sunlight to shine through her room."What happened last night? I can't remember a th

It was a cold and heart-felt night with an intense atmosphere. "I think I'm ready to go home now." Angel uttered sadly. Standing straight, with her chin up."Is everything okay?" Asked James with a worried look on his face."And who's this?" Angel finally paid attention to the fine young lady standing with James."Is he your driver? Gosh, he is so handsome." The lady complimented with a giggle. Her cheeks were all red and her eyes glittering. "Nevermind. She was just about leaving." He then turned to the lady. "It was really nice meeting you. Take care now." He dismissed her. The lady didn't seem so happy that her night with James ended too shortly as she had other plans for the night with him. She shrugged and wore a sad frown on her face. Then finally walked away.James quickly unlocked the car then went and held the back door open for Angel to enter.Angel eyed him dramatically as she slowly entered the car."What was that all about. It just gave me a fright?" James thought inwar

"Hi... Hi... Hi." Angel continued to greet her guest. As she passed them, they would start to chatter and murmur some gossip about her. Most of the ladies present envied her, some jealoused her, while others admired her. She was a typical example of the most elegant, beautiful, competent and successful female CEO they've encountered."Hey... Well if isn't the famous Angel."Angel turned around to know who it was that spoke to her."Uhm... I'm sorry do I know you?" She asked in confusion."Really? You mean you don't recognize this gorgeous face?" The lady asked. As she removed her mask, Angel was bondazzled. She was pleased with who she saw. She wore a big smile on her face."Tracy." She called out in shock."How long has it been? Gosh you look tentastic." Complimented the lady who seemed to have known or been close to Angel before. They hugged and air kissed each other and busted out laughing."You don't look so bad yourself Tracy. What about your husband? Is he here with you?" Angel w

"This is the amended contract. You only have to pretend that we're lovers in the presence of others, no intimacy no nothing. Both parties must not get emotional or be seen with another partner. Since you have a good business going on, I wouldn't want to stop you from expanding. Here..." She handed the contract to Eddie."You can go through it at your own convenient time, but it must not exceed today. If there's any other thing you'd like to discuss about the contract you let my manager know." She looked at Grace."And one more important thing, this contract must be a secret between only the three of us present here. No one must know about it." She concluded and made her leave."oooh... I'm so scared." He said with sarcasm."Excuse me, did you say something?" She asked."I mean, if we're going to start pretending we're lovers, how well do you think you can keep up with this attitude. I mean no offense but you need to loosen up." She opened her mouth to protest but felt her tongue cut.

Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Angel was awoken by the sound of her alarm. She had set the alarm on time as so not to miss or be late to court. "Alright, alright, alright I'm getting up." She mustered, hitting the alarm unconsciously repeatedly to make the buzzing stop. "Oooh... that's cold." She was faced with a gush of cold breeze from her window. It was practically freezing out there. She gritted her teeth as she quickly rushed to shut the window. She massaged her two arms with her palms to feel warm. Her body was filled with goosebumps.She forced herself to the showers despite the cold. After awhile she was out and dried up. She went and stood in the mirror with her hair wrapped with a white towel and so was her body."You're beautiful... You're courageous... Be confident... Be fearless... and don't let them see your weakness." She recited to herself, trying to prepare herself for the worst situation which could be her on the verge of loosing everything that belonged
