Edwin was sitting in his office working on his laptop when his secretary, Bridget, entered his office with a smile on her face." Good afternoon sir," Bridget greeted, standing in front of Edwin."Good afternoon Bridget," Edwin answered as he concentrated on his laptop." Sir, I want to remind you about the business party organized by the Reid family tomorrow," Bridget announced." Hmm, I am not interested in the party. You should inform my assistant when you see him around today." Edwin replied with his face on his laptop screen." Sir, Mrs. Turner was here this morning and she told me it's a must for you to attend the party," Bridget said, struggling." Don't worry, I will let her know not interested," Edwin replied."But sir_" " But what? Don't you see I am busy? I said I will talk to my mother. Please leave if you have nothing else to tell me!" Edwin said authoritatively, looking at his secretary with a stern look." Okay sir," Bridget said and turned to leave the office before s

Jessica was sitting in her room, looking at herself in the large makeup mirror. She knew her body was changing fast. She brought her phone out to check the calendar to see how many months she heard left."Hmm, three months left!" Jessica said out loud, rubbing her tummy with her palm.She knew she had not been preparing for her baby's arrival. She browsed through some online stores to know what to buy and she started taking notes on her notepad."Babes, you woke up early today!" Angie said, walking in from the living room." Yes, babe, can we go baby shopping today? You know I will be busy for the next few weeks with ongoing projects in the company, I think this is the best time." Jessica explained and Angie nodded with excitement." Yes, let's go today. We need to start preparing for their arrival." Angie said with happiness in her voice and Jessica sighed.Angie walked toward her and sat beside her, " babe, you know you don't have to worry. You will be fine, you need to be strong fo

The following day, Gary brought along his car to take Jessica, the twins, and her mother home. Her mother requested for them to branch by the mart so that she could pick up a few vegetables that Jessica would need. When they got home, Angie was not home. Jessica and her mom got in with the help of Gary. "So uh, I guess you will be fine then?" Gary asked after helping them set up the crib for the twins in the sitting room, and another in the bedroom."Yeah. Thank you so much, Gary." Gary nodded and left the house. Jessica sat down on the sofa with soft pillows around her. She knew her mother had been waiting for the right opportunity to spoil her, and it just came up now that she had put it to birth."Jessy, I'm going to make you a nice soup. It will help ease the injuries you might have sustained during birth." Her mother said before entering the kitchen.Jessica simply smiled. She remembered Angie wasn't around so she decided to phone her."Angie..." she whined."Babe, I'm sorry.

Five Years LaterJessica tapped the send button. She watched as the message marked delivered. She turned to see her kids sleeping on the bed. She smiled. She would have forgotten about Edwin had the children not resembled him even a tiny little bit. But no, they looked too much like him. Especially Gabriel. He was a carbon copy of Edwin. And every time she looked at him, she saw Edwin in him. Sometimes it made her happy, sometimes it brought an unforgettable pain in her heart.Gary sent a reply already. She opened the message.While she was reading it, her phone began to ring. Quickly, she answered the call."Say it," Jessica spoke hurriedly. "Tell me. And don't lie to me, Gary.""Jessica. I can't say for sure what happened. But from what I can see here, it is someone who caused this. Someone did this to your father." Gary explained lightly."Gary," Jessica called softly. "Someone did this? Why would anyone want to harm my father? He was very peaceful!""Well.." Gary began. "If we do

Jessica began to connect the dots together. She searched every link, decoded every hidden message.Her hands were flying over her keyboard so rapidly. Hours had gone by, she hadn't taken any break. She was bent over, straining her eyes to read the codes that appeared on the screen."Jessica, Jesus!" Angela screamed. Jessica flinched at the sound of her name. She cringed a little."Angie? Oh hi. I didn't hear you come in. You're back so early?""Jessica, it's past noon. I've been in the house for over thirty minutes. I've been talking to you and you weren't listening.""I'm sorry. I've just been occupied with my findings and investigations.""Oh." Angela sat beside her. "Yeah you said Gary was going to tell you today. What did he say?""Angie, I want to do something." Jessica said thoughtfully. "I want to restart my father's company in California. That would be my first step of revenge."Angela nodded. "Whatever you wish to do, I will be in full support of it, babe. But revenge for wha
