AN OPEN THREAT.Julian's POV.Back in my office. While sitting, I swiped at my screen staring at Victoria's photos as I brought her words from the previous night back to mind.Obviously, this wasn't the life I planned for us. But I just couldn't deal with her anymore. As I tried to delete the photos, the door opened, and Adrian walked in. I dropped my phone on the desk as I watched him approach me.“Is there a problem?” I asked.

Chapter 30.THE CULPRIT.Julian's POV.I closed the book in my hand, and dropped it on the bench that I was sitting on which was along the sidewalk. Then I took off my sunshades. “Mr Steve?” I called as he walked out of the store behind me.“Damn it!” he turned to run in the other way. But then, Adrian blocked his path.“Too bad.” I put on my sunshades, got up from the bench, and walked up to him. “I am sure you remember me, right?” “I-I have no idea who you are.” he stuttered, evading my gaze. “What do you want with me?” “How about we have a little chitchat?” I smiled, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Perhaps, you'll remember who I am, and what I want with you. How does that sound?” “Look, I've got a family.” his voice trembled as he lifted his face to me. “I have two kids.” “Get in the car.” I ducked my head to the side. Adrian escorted him into the car. I got in, and closed th

I dropped my phone on the desk as I watched him approach me. “Is there a problem?” I asked. He dropped a file on my desk. “Here, the man who leaked the photos.”“Finally.” I picked up the file, and stared at it. “Steve Harrison. Do you have any other information about him?” “Yes. It turns out that he has a wife, and two children.” he replied. “However, his wife is currently in a hospital.” “Why?” I looked up from the file.“She has been diagnosed with kidney failure.” he explained. “From what I gathered, her treatment was continued after her h

Chapter 28.ONE HAS TO GO.Nora's POV.“Can I come in?” I asked, opening the door just enough for Julian to see my face. “I won't take much of your time.” “Give us some minutes, Adrian.” he said, hanging his hands on his sides.Adrian approached the exit. As he came close enough, I stepped aside for him to leave.“What is it you want to talk about?” he rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at his wristwatch. “I have don't so much time to spare.” “I know. I'll be quick about it.” I said, closing the door behind me as I walked in. “Lily really loves the Christmas trees. So I was hoping if you could just leave it for some time.” “You already know my answer to that.” he said, looking at me. “I don't see any reason why you are still asking when you know that it's not possible.” “All I'm asking is for a few days.” I shrugged a shoulder. “And then you can do whatever you want with it. I just want her to see i

Chapter 27A FAMILY PHOTO.Nora's POV. The foot of the couch scraped the floor as I moved it a little to the right, trying to create some space at the centre of the room. “Mom, what are you doing?” Lily stood at a distance, her doll tucked in her arm. “Are we having a visitor tonight?” “Uh, actually,” I sighed, sweeping a hand across my forehead to get rid of the sweat. “We aren't having any visitor sweetheart.” “Why then are you moving the couch?” she asked, sweeping her eyes all over the room. “What is going on?” “Hey,” I walked over to her, and bent down. “Something big is about to happen today, sweetheart.” “How big is it?” she asked, looking past me. “How big do you want it to be?” I framed her face with my palms, and shrugged. “It all depends on you.” “Really? I want it to be this big.” she smiled, spreading out her arms while holding her doll with a hand. “Can it be this big?” “Uh, let's see,” I replied, tilting my head from side to side.“Please mom,” “Okay then, any

Chapter 26FAMILY VALUES EVENT.Julian's POV.Tapping the mouse in my right hand with a finger, I propped my head with my left hand as I stared at the figures on the computer screen in front of me while. Something wasn't adding up. I sighed, and tilted my head from left to right, and then from right to left. Someone must have added a thing or two to the list because the list of materials for the project were the same. However, the total cost for the materials had increased by two percent which was unusual. It was either I didn't check it well to begin with, or someone added something new which wasn't recorded. However, the latter seemed to have been the case because I made sure to have gone over the report again, and again to be sure that there were no errors whatsoever.The creak of the door broke in on my thoughts. I turned in the direction, and found Adrian approaching me.“Good morning, sir.” he greeted, holding some documents in his hand while walking towards me. “Good morning,

Chapter 25.A MEMORYJulian's POV.The door creaked as I opened it, and walked into the chapel. I found someone whom I believed was Victoria sitting on one of the chairs in the front row. Of all the places we could have met, she chose the chapel. Besides, was there really any need to meet? What exactly was she trying to do?I closed the door, and then began to walk forward. As she heard the sound of my footsteps approaching, she got up from the chair, and turned to face me. “I didn't think you would come.” she said with a smile. “Do you remember this place?” “What are you trying to do?” I asked as I stopped walking. “Why do you ask for us to meet here?” “See? Loosen up a bit Julian.” she made a face. “You are always serious. Always thinking that I'm going to hurt you.” “Well, if that's not what you plan on doing then why did you ask for us to meet here?” I raised a furrowed brow. “I don't have the luxury of time to talk to you. So be quick about whatever it is you want to say to m
