Alvira pushed her cleaning tools up the stairs towards Simon's room with a complicated expression on her face the next morning. After her discussion with Sarah the previous day she had initiated a long conversation with a maid, she met in the changing room. This lady was one of the maids who had been working at the mansion longer than most of the others.The maid who was excited at the idea of a gossip wasted no time in telling her everything she knew of the three years since Simon had been locked in, what he was like after his surgery, and how he had treated his caregivers. Even though she didn’t state it in clear terms, Alvira deduced from what she heard that he was a man who had been ready to give up on life already but couldn’t because Ben wouldn't let him. The mere thought of it broke her heart, ever since she heard Simon's story, she had been a little quieter than she normally was and had a furrowed brow at all times. Her mother noticed and had asked her but she had waved her

When Jared came out of the bathroom, he had no choice but to plug in the hand dryer to a nearby socket, placed at a spot where Simon’s hands could reach and leave.When he did, Simon turned to Alvira and handed the teacup to her first, "Here, drink this. It is hot and good for you" He said and Alvira's eyes widened was little, Did he order this for her too? Looking at the sprain medication, he must have also asked them to bring it for her but when did he order this, why didn't she see him when he did? Was it when she was in the bathroom? She wondered as she collected the cup of tea and sipped from it gently. It was hot and delicious, just the way she liked it. She felt relieved as she felt the tea warm her up from the inside.“Thank you.” She said and Simon nodded before patting the spot next to him. "Seat, I’ll help you apply the ointment." He said.He felt happy when he saw the look of satisfaction and relaxation that spread across Alvira’s face when she drank the tea. He was

The moment Clarisse was done with her breakfast she walked out of the dining room in her usual bashful manner as she greeted all the maids she met along the way feigning the image of a very rich but humble woman. Looking around, she couldn’t see Lara anywhere around the dining room. Even though she wanted nothing more than the opportunity to look around the house in case she caught a whiff of an exciting information that she could use for her and her husband’s benefit, she knew she couldn’t go looking around just yet, or else it would raise suspicion, especially when she could see that madam Sarah was weary of her. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up it, she noticed that a wheelchair path had been made there and she sighed. The elderly couple really loved Simon, they even made changes in the mansion for his sake. Too bad he had so much bad luck, if he didn’t, would he have fallen in love with a woman like Lana? She thought and scoffed. All the maids looked at her

Somewhere in the city, Josh stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window dressed in nothing but a white bathrobe, his hair wet, and a little steam still rising from his body as a result of the hot shower he just had.He held a pony tumbler in his hand and slowly drank the brandy that was in it as he overlooked the city below from the 58th floor of his apartment where he lived, he was lost in his thought, things have not been particularly easy for him in the company upon Simon’s return.Simon has begun to suppress him on every side, cutting off his funds both the legal and illegal ones and it had started to take a toll on him, if it hadn’t, would he have asked Clarisse to go to the Walkers' mansion and find any implicating information with which he could defeat Simon? He thought and sighed.Clarisse was wasting too much time, Simon was closing in on him and he knew it, he also knew that the real reason Simon hadn’t made his final move yet was because of the family ties they shared, he

A few minutes later, Alvira rested against the rail of the balcony and looked up at the starless sky, Simon sat not far from her but rather than stare at the sky he had proposed to want to see, he found her more fascinating. Alvira could feel his burning gaze on her back and felt a little awkward to be the subject of his attention, so much so that she didn’t dare to look at him, she just kept looking forward. The dark sky had clouds that covered the stars totally and made it obvious that it would rain sooner or later. Alvira didn’t know why she had been invited to stare at a starless sky but she felt warm in her heart that he had taken the initiative to make her spend time with him. Why was she concerned about this? She didn’t know, and she wasn’t going to worry herself about the answer to that question. She probably just wanted to spend time with him because he used to be her patient and had grown on her, she thought and nodded in agreement with the thought. After standing there f
