The room was pitch dark, with the only light from the moon that reflected the room. In the middle of the room, a man sat on an armchair, his hands and legs tied to the chair. His eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth. The corners of his mouth, bled uncontrollably, his face swollen. Stains of blood could be clearly seen on his white shirt. "Ah!" he cried out, as the fist fell on his stomach. Again and again, he continued to be punched, but still, he refused to utter a word. He chose to endure the pain rather than say the truth. He withered on the chair, in pain. Heavy sounds of footsteps could be heard, as a man, continued to approach. He stopped when he was a few inches away from him. "Sir, he has refused to say anything," the other man spoke as he glanced at his boss, waiting for his response. However, he chuckled. Without uttering a single word, he took a few steps forward as he continued to approach the man on the armchair. Every step he took was seemingly becoming dangerous. Wh

There was some sense in what the man confessed. The only person who was capable of attempting to kill her was his father. From the beginning, he disliked her so much. In fact, he would get rid of any woman he would get intimately involved with, except for Chloe. She was the only daughter-in-law, in his eyes. Knowing his father fully well, he always got what he wanted. But now? Was it going to be even at the expense of his children's happiness? No? Ethan vowed, that would never be his case. It didn't matter if he lost everything. It didn't matter if he was disowned. But his happiness mattered. He walked into the mansion fuming with anger. He almost knocked over Kelvin, who onseeing him, rushed to him. He quickly aped up the stairs, and walked into the studyroom. Old Urkel, sat on the armchair, his arms crossed to his chest, his back leaning on the chair. He seemed to have been waiting for him. "Why? Why did you try to kill her?" asked Ethan his eyes filled with contempt. Old Urkel str

Meanwhile, it was tea break. As the other workers took the lift and headed to the cafeteria, Aviana and Faith, hid inside her office, while they peeped through the partially opened door. "Who's that woman who entered Ethan's office?" faith whispered , while she continued to peep through the door. Aviana stood behind her while she struggled to stand on her tiptoes, so that she could see clearly, what was happening. However, Faith was too big, that she occupied the whole space. "Is she his girlfriend?" faith continued to voice out these questions, that none of them had the answers to. After a while, the door to Ethan's office was opened. Scarlet walked out of the room, and immediately they saw her, they rushed to the table, picked up what their hands could grab at that moment and pretended to be working. If anyone were to walk in on them, right now, then they would immediately know that something was definitely off, between the two . Aviana held a pen in her hands, as she sat on top of

"Excuse me, sir! Where is the ladies' room? I need to use the bathroom!"asked Aviana as she got ready to stand up. "Go out and ask the one posted there, they will lead you to it," he responded. Nodding, Aviana smiled and said, "I'll be right back," as she exited the room. Meanwhile, Mr Davis walked past her in the corridor as he opened the door to the booth, through which she came from. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr Urkel," he apologized as soon as he walked in, while he extended his hand towards Ethan for a handshake. Ethan replied back, "Not a big deal!" as he stretched out his hand to meet his. Mr Davis took his sit opposite Ethan and spoke glancing at the table, his eyes filled with curiosity, "Having company?" Ethan glanced at the table and immediately understood where the question was coming from. "Just my personal assistant!" he responded, drily. "Can we go straight to business!" he added. "Yeah sure! So, what can I do for you, Mr Urkel?" asked Mr Davis, before he pick

"You're so late, Aviana," said Joana while walking towards her. "What kept you for so long?" she asked."Work, mum," she simply said . "I'm so hungry, I feel like I haven't eaten for days," she added before walking to the dining table where different delicacies were put on the table. At this point, Hayden showed up. "Didn't uncle Ethan treat you for lunch today? I think I'll have to teach him how to be a gentle man," said Hayden making everybody in the room laugh out loud."Really?" asked Aviana unable to control the laughter. "How was school today?" she asked and began to serve herself rice and some chicken."School was great as usual," he said drily. "Sis!" he called out and moved closer to where she sat. "Can you do me a favor?" he requested."Yeah sure, what is it?" she asked before stopping what she were doing and gave him an audience ."Can you tell Uncle Ethan to come and see me tomorrow? There is something I want to talk to him about!" he concluded. Hearing that, Aviana could
