MasukValentine smirked, though a part of him couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease. Ann must have been relentless in her pursuit of him, not for good but for destruction. And now there she was, reduced to a spectacle.Mrs. Suresh shook her head, clicking her tongue. "Such a shameful display."Pa Suresh chuckled. "Disgrace to womanhood."Valentine said nothing, but his fingers tightened around his glass. Ann wasn’t the type to let this go. And if she ever found out he was there, watching her humiliation in silence, well, he’d have more than just frog jumps to worry about.He walked out of the canteen after a while and headed to his room. To get the details of the broadcast, he called Cpl. Barton and he picked up the call at once. "Hello, Valentine. What's up?""Good evening, Corporal. I saw a broadcast a while ago.""Yes. Do you know the lady?""No. I have never seen her," he lied at once."I thought as much. The president said she was connected with the bank robbery last year and asked
Everyone, including Richard, turned and faced the monitor. "Oh!" Richard exhaled. "She attacked me and ...""Hey!" They shouted, wondering who dared that.Richard could read their body language and calmed them down, "It's nothing. The Corporal should have invited the police to pick her up.Unfortunately, George will never let go. His desire to avenge every attack on the people he loved overwhelmed him. The next and last discussion on the agenda was Capt. Bruce's birthday, and he hurriedly handled it, bringing the meeting to a close.Instantly, he called the Corporal on duty. Richard left immediately and met Vincent in the elevator. Soon, they joined Tim in the car. The GateBarton picked up George’s call at the first ring and saluted, "Good morning, General.""Good morning, Corporal. Who is that lady?""I don't know, General but he mistook the Major for Valentine and attacked him.""Huh! When the police arrive, let them know that she was connected with the bank robbery last year.""
Now, they were in the field and parked in their usual parking spot. Valentine saw them and began to walk towards them. Before he got to them, Richard was already out of the car.After the greetings, he led him to the refining plant and Tim waited in the car. He looked at the clock and wished to be in the office before 10 AM. Before thirty minutes, Richard was through and joined Tim in the car."How is the work going?""The work is going well. Ambrose had sourced more clients, but Valentine would not disappoint Mr. Kennedy."Tim smiled softly and watched him turn on his ignition. He honked at Valentine, who was waiting for him, and drove off."Vincent is getting married," Tim informed him. He furrowed and asked, "Who is Vincent?""The taxi driver.""Wow! That is good. I'm happy for him.""I'm happy for him as well. Guess who he is marrying."Richard pouted and Tim said, "He is marrying the front desk officer.""Hmm. How much does he know about Miss Dickson?" He asked without consideri
Her voice softened. "I’ve been lonely. I want a big family," she declared."But we agreed we’d track down your brothers and bring them back after our wedding." "I remember," she smiled. "But ten family members wouldn’t be so bad. Would it?" Speechless, Tim focused on the road. He saw George’s driver driving into an ice cream shop and followed suit."The president loves his brothers so much," Stephanie pointed out."Why do you think so?" Tim asked. "He wants to spoil them with ice cream.""You think so?""Yes.""If I may ask, what will you do if you meet your missing siblings?"She was emotional but did not wish to ruin Tim's day. She fought back her tears and said, "Huh! I will spoil them silly. Tim smiled at Stephanie’s response, touched by her sincerity. "That’s really sweet of you," he said. "I’m sure they’d love to have a sister like you." Stephanie sighed, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. "I just wish I knew where they are. It’s so strange thinking that
Now, George’s set and walked in. After listening, he asked, "Can I appreciate them for bringing you my way?""Of course," Tim said, ruffling his hair. "I’m sure they’d love to hear about it." "I’ll tell them I’ve finished school and am officially a Private now," Gerald said, his voice brimming with pride. "Good," Tim replied with a nod. "They’ll be glad to hear we’re making progress." With that, the boys seemed reassured. They finished getting ready, the earlier uncertainty replaced by quiet determination. That day wasn’t just about cleaning a tomb; it was about connection, learning, and practicing the tomb visit for the first time, remembrance, and keeping love alive even after goodbye. "All right, let’s go," Tim said, leading the way. "Stephanie’s waiting.""It's okay, Dad," they said and moved.Soon, they were in Stephanie’s House. The boys were excited to see her."Good morning, Miss Benjamin," they greeted simultaneously."Good morning, Samuel and ..." She paused when sh
"Let him in," he said and Bright left at once.The barrister walked in and greeted. Afterward, he tabled his reason for coming. George looked at the GM and asked, "Do we have any space?" "Yes. Ella's house."The barrister was happy to hear that and focused on George for approval."It's okay. Let him move in.""Thank you, President."The General Manager’s Office Tim arrived after the GM left for George's office. Unknown to Stephanie, he saw her dress before she left her work. To make her happy, she praised her clothes. "Wow! My queen is looking great as always."She giggled and blushed, replying, "You always know how to make my day, Your Excellency!""Good morning, Sir," Hillary greeted him."Good morning, my dear. How are you?""I'm good, Sir. And you?""I'm good," he said and faced Stephanie. "Can I get a hug?" He spread his arms wide with a warm smile. Stephanie laughed and stepped into his embrace, replying, "Of course, Your Excellency! You deserve all the hugs today."Afterw
They focused on her and waited for her to speak. When she could not, Stephanie continued, "One thing you should know is that life is hard and everyone is fighting a secret battle. Be careful the way you treat people. Okay?""I got you, Miss Benjamin, but he will ride on me with his qualifications,
Tim smiled softly and asked him, "What is your average birth in a year?"He shrugged and answered him, "Between between 120 to 150.""It isn't much. We can start," Richard said."It's okay," he accepted and pressed the intercom button.The secretary's voice came over and he asked her to get the bi
In The Room Tim wished to see Stephanie's reaction and connect with her. He saw her walk into her parlor with the bag. Likewise, she sat down to inspect the contents of the bag. She brought out the clothes one after the other and admired them. "Wow, this is beautiful!" She pointed out happily.In
The Complex Stephanie was anxiously waiting for Tim's call. Unknown to her, she was the enemy of herself. Tim would have given her all the love that she longed for but her frozen heart had tied his hands. She was not angry with him because she thought that he was with the president. She waited unt
