"So, you and Arah are now divorced?" Helen casually asks while they are having dinner at the mansion. "Yes," he responded with a casual nod. "What came into your mind marrying her just to escape me? Marriage is not a game, Luther!" exasperated, she angrily raves at him. "I can't believe Arah agreed to this dumb charade" she added. "She lost nothing from the agreement, mom. I didn't disturb her peace. Married or not, she goes on with her life as if I didn't exist. She is too busy to mind a husband, so the setup made no difference. We got married and divorced, that's it" he calmly counters."Then, I won't be bombarding you with the nonsense of settling down. I can't believe you had come up with the most absurd ideas to escape" after glaring at him, she rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Glad to hear that" he mumbles while he continues eating."I would love to see you get settled and I would be more delighted if it's Arah. But some things are not meant to be. Arah is a delicate gem and s

Ara chooses to distance herself from any Steel. Even from Helen and Eric. Unfortunately, they are moving in the same circle, and meeting each other is inevitable. “Amara…” Helen’s voice tears her away from talking to some colleagues. Turning to its direction, a polite smile adorned her face.“Chairman Steel” though she had already expected the family’s attendance at the event she is still quite startled by their presence. And choosing to be polite and civil towards the couple earned her an arched snickering brow from the matriarch.The colleagues she has been talking to earlier graciously excused themselves upon the arrival of the intimidating Chairman and President of Steel Corporation. She understood them so well. Helen and Eric Steel’s presence is quite terrifying for common people.Ignoring Helen’s intimidation, she steps closer to greet her with a hug and a sincere smile. And like every mother, Helen receives her with a tender smile. They took their time, seeming to make up for

As expected, Arah and Jazz were constantly seen in public. Mostly during dinner. And as one of the famous personalities in the city, people started to talk. Appraising their developing association.It's been a week since their first meeting and they are now together at the Steel mansion for their scheduled Sunday lunch. "I can no longer remember the last time I had a visit here, Chairman Steel" with his usual playfulness, Jazz exclaims while hugging her."Drop the formality, Jazz. It's annoying" Helen glares at him before turning to Arah."You look great, Amara" admiration laced her voice while intently looking at Arah's attire. Wearing a white spaghetti strap chemise paired with beige trousers and strappy high heels, she looks refreshingly stunning. Her elegant outfit accentuates her pearly white flawless skin. She is dashing as always. "Thank you, mom. You never failed to flatter me" she cheerfully responded while kissing the older woman. "I'm not flattering you, Amara" she glar

"Dr. Rechner, good evening" the floor manager, Mr. Silla waiting at the entrance, greeted."Good evening, Mr. Silla" casually, she greeted back. Every employee of Steel Resort and Casino treats her like one of the Steel. "The party started an hour ago. This way Doctor" with a polite and cheerful smile, he ushered her."Thank you" she briefly replies.Even before she reached the pool area she could already hear the boisterous and lewd laughter. She was invited to a pool party thrown by Jazz's friends for his homecoming and she indulges the invitation.Clad in a white dress and flat strappy sandals, she made her way to the pool area following the manager. Indeed the party is at its peak. The pool is in a festive uproar and sultry giggles and clinking of glasses chime everywhere. A glass of alcohol is in everyone's hands even those in the pool. The long table heaping of food on the other side has a few people. It seems that guests are not after the scrumptious feast, they are after the

She waited for his response but after a while, she got none. "Isn't it improper to barge inside someone's room? Is this part of the resort's service?" snickering, she added."Just because you have the access, you can just do anything you want, Mr. CEO" she continues. "Did you... enjoy it?" instead of answering her, he grumbled.Not understanding what he meant, she just look at him. He is drunk and even with their distance, she could smell alcohol on his breath. Whatever his scheme of sneaking inside her bedroom, she vowed to not let it pass. She will deal with him when he is sober. "Did you... enjoy it, Arah?" he continues with a clenched jaw. This time his tone becomes harder. "What are you trying to know, Luther? It's late and you're drunk. Go back to your room" she coldly dismissed before taking a step away.But a strong hand grabs her arm, halting her. She was startled but the pain in her arm made her sharply look him in the eyes."Unhand me" she firmly mutters. Both have clen
