Felix shoved the table backward as his chair slid close to the window. He spun his chair playfully until he was facing the window view, he stared at the beautiful and busy streets of New york. He noticed some beggars trying to earn a decent living without trying to steal. 

The sky looked a bit dark and cloudy like it would rain anytime soon. He turned back to his desk before looking at all the workload he had, he had worked hard for his company but things weren't going the way he wanted. 

He felt like he needed to pay for his sins, he was keeping a secret that he hadn't told anybody. Yes! His wife was someone he never expected that she would die soon and that had put him down but something else was weighing him more. 

He knew he wasn't going to pay for his sins on earth but in the hereafter, he knew he was going to hell. He knew he was never going to be forgiving but would the person he had sinned against forgive him for such a crime he had committed? Getting up from his seat, Felix brought out his bopping phone.

He noticed the number that was calling him and a smile plastered on his face. “Hello Felix, It's been a while,” A soft feminine voice spoke through the other line. 

“Frida, it's been a while! You just went into hiding,” Felix let out, taking back his seat before swinging it again. Felix had known Frida since they were children. Her parents weren't as well off as his, she was somebody who worked hard to earn money to take care of herself. 

She had found out a few months ago that she was diagnosed with cancer. Felix had agreed to pay for her treatment for her to get better but she had rejected, when he kept interfering in her life she cut ties with him by leaving the city. 

“I didn't know why you left town just to avoid my little help,” Felix said, he had missed his childhood friend as much as his kids do. 

“Well, I needed to get better,” she said, making him blink his eyes in affirmation. “Are you better now?” he asked but all he could hear was a little sniffle like she was sobbing. Felix clenched his hands, he hated the fact that she was crying, Frida sucked her breath in before replying. 

“I’m getting better,” she murmured. “Tell me the truth Frida, are you getting better?” he asked as he could hear some voices in the background. “Yes Felix, Henry is doing everything possible! He got me a nurse to watch over me, ” Frida let out, making Felix nod.

Henry was Frida's ex-boyfriend but he still stuck around her like he was ever a good boyfriend. Felix was thankful to Frida for sticking close to him when his wife had died but she had zoomed off making him depressed again. “How are the kids?” Frida asked.

“They missed you,” he let out.

“Do I need to be concerned about the kids?” Frida asked. “No, I got them a new maid, ” he let out, making Frida sigh from the other line. He knew Frida was family, she had stood by him and advised him even when he suspected that Lisa was cheating.

She was a good friend.

“I thought you had refused to hire a maid?” Frida asked as a yawn escaped her lips from the other line. “My mom took everything upon herself and you know David,” he let out as a small chuckle escaped Frida‘s lips.

“I already hired her, I’m giving her a chance and I hope she doesn't misuse her chances,” he said, earning another chuckle from Frida. 

“I hope you know that having someone to look after your kids is a good idea. Perhaps give her a chance, there is no harm in trying, ” she let out, making Hector close his eyes. “Thank you, Frida, ” Felix let out.

“For what?” she asked with a chuckle. 

“For checking up on me,” he said, biting his bottom lips. “You need to get some rest, you sound exhausted, ” he continued trying hard not to cut the conversation. 

“I know,” Frida said as there was silence between the both of them. “I miss her so much,” Frida let out, referring to Lisa. Lisa was her friend, her best friend who had left her alone in this scary world alone. 

“I miss her too.” Felix let out. 

It had been One and a half years since her death and the wound still felt fresh in all their hearts. Thinking about his wife was enough to make him go insane, Felix's grip tightened against his phone as he turned to stare at the city through his window. 

His eyes had gone red and watery. 

“Have a great day Felix! I need to rest, ” Frida let out with a pitying sigh. “You too Vivian, ” he let out as the phone hung up with a beeping sound. He stared at his phone for a while. A happy memory of his wife forcing him to eat little from what she had baked triggered him to ruffle his hair. 

“Sir, the board members are waiting, ” the secretary mumbled, making him nod. Felix rubbed a tired hand around his face. “Camilla,” he called back to his secretary.

“Have the background check gotten ready?” he asked, making her shake her head. “It will be on your desk before the end of today, ” she let out, making him nod. He needed a background check on Bianca Ferguson. He needed to be sure that she was safe and couldn't hurt even a fly. 

It felt wrong but he had done exactly the same thing with all his maids. His last maid had a criminal record and he hadn't known because he trusted her, he growled in frustration as he took the file he needed for his meeting.

He took a steady breath before walking out of his office.

Bye!” Michelle said a little frustrated.Bianca's attention was diverted the minute her phone began to buzz uncontrollably in her bag. She rubbed her eyes before tapping on the answer button of her phone, “I’m sorry Ethan but I can not meet up with you because my boss wouldn't allow me, I’m truly sorry okay!” Bianca said on the other line while his boss trudged down the stairs.“Alright, bye Ethan!” she said before hanging up.She twirled around to notice her boss. “Okay Bianca, you can meet up with him!” Felix simply said.“Sir?” Bianca said, wondering if she had just heard her boss quite well. “You want

    Bianca was in the kitchen trying to bake some cupcakes before she was distracted by both Daniella and Ria.“Uhmmm Bianca, can you ask the person who is eating across you if she is done? You see that I’m almost done watching the dishes and right now I’m just waiting for her plate and utensil!” Daniella said to Bianca who gaped at Ria who was eaten slowly like a snail. “Okay!” Bianca responded nonchalantly.“She is taking so long and I can’t finish my work early!” Daniella added.“Ria, Daniella want to know if you are not yet done with…” Bianca said but stopped half way.“Hold on, what’s happening? Is your war not over yet?” Bianca asked, staring at both of them in amusement. “She is the one ignoring me, she is so full of it!” Ria said with a scoff while she continued eating.Bianca kept breathing the agonizing and quiet atmosphere but she seemed tired of it.“Guys, Daniella and Ria, could the both of you just stop whatever you are doing already?” Bianca pleaded with the both of them

    The flowers which Bianca's boss had given to her the other day had begun to facilitate and Bianca couldn't help but seem worried. She had been in the kitchen trying very hard to at least revive some part of the flower while she lamented worriedly. “My beautiful flowers, please don't perish just yet!” she said in a sad tone.“You can't stop that anymore, why don't we just cook that!” Ria who was wiping the glass cup clean.“What's wrong with you Ria, this ain't some vegetable,” Bianca simply told her.“Bianca, I’m looking for the wiper, have you seen it?” Daniella who had walked into the kitchen asked but she instantly frowned the moment her eyes met with Ria's.She huffed angrily before twirling around to leave.“Hey, Daniella?” Ria called but she was ignored. “What's going on? Are you guys having a fight again?” Bianca asked Ria who ignored her.“Hey, you guys better make peace because this is not good!” Bianca said, spraying the flowers.“Hey, Bianca?” Mitchell said the moment sh

    The pizza had arrived and everyone was seated on the dining chair while they all had some pizza and Milkshake together.“Felix, look at their nails and how pretty they look?” Mitchell said excitedly. She raised her milkshake while her lips drew some long sips before gaping at Felix for a response,“It's a trendy thing called nail art!” She said the moment she dropped the milkshake on the table. “Oh, don't tell me you don't like it?” Mitchell asked when she noticed his odd-looking expression.“No, I like clean plain nails!” he responded while he stared at both Bianca's and Fiona's painted nails. “Eat some more baby!” Bianca said to Anna who nodded before taking a huge bite.“I honestly think that they are cute and you are only jealous!” Mitchell said. Meanwhile, Ria held Bianca's phone while she chuckled hard as the phone kept ringing. “Uhmm, but excuse me everyone!” she said respectfully before turning to face Bianca.“Bianca, your phone has been beeping non-stop. It's Ethan!” Ria

    Ethan rubbed his aching neck while he gripped the flowers in his hands tightly. He had been standing at the huge security gate for hours while he pleaded to be allowed in but the men refused blatantly but he seemed not to be giving up. “Sir, I just want to talk to my old friend. Common, please!” Ethan pleaded.“We can't just allow anybody inside because we weren't informed!” the security personnel continued.“Sir please, I just want to talk with my friend because I do not have any means!” Ethan begged but he was asked to wait until the moment a car stopped by the gate. Luckily enough, it was Felix who had just gotten back from work and was about to go home. “Good evening sir?” The security guard had greeted Felix who responded. “There is someone here to visit Bianca but she didn't mention anything like that to us,” The security guard told Felix whose expression instantly turned to that of curiosity. “One moment Sir,” the guard said before going over to where Ethan stood patiently
