Alice Anderson"No, he did not. He actually has some things he needs to tend to but not to worry, I'm here for you""Actually, we are all here for you" Sophia said, chiming in with dad. An hour has gone and we're all having a nice time as my friends and dad are trying to make the whole room lively for me. I also finished eating the food nanny prepared for me. She came and even cried when she saw my condition despite telling her I'm fine. She also said, she regretted not keeping a close watch on me. She thought, all this happened by a mistake but what she doesn't know is, all this was done by Ken. I made them all believe this was a mistake because of my negligence. Everyone bought my lies except Dad who still gave me that suspicious look. Dad and Sophia end up talking about business since that's what she's into. She actually inherits all her father's wealth as the only daughter of the family. She was brought up and trained to handle the family business and she has been doing that fo

Alice AndersonA month! A big whole month I've last set my eyes on Ken. After the incident at the hospital, the day he had a big argument with Dad, was the day I last saw him. Two weeks after that day, I got better. My wound got healed and my friends, I couldn't thank them enough. They left all their important work just to be there for me. The doctor did a series of checks on me every five days. When I asked what was the reason for the continuous test and several medications, he told me it was for my good. They're trying to work on my heart and I have to quit thinking too much also. I wonder how he got to know about it though. I know, I think a lot, especially since Ken I and got together and I found out he's been lying to me. Now, it's been a month already. I didn't hear anything from him. Whenever I ask dad about him, he would tell me I have nothing to be worried about and also, that Ken has been busy with some work then, he will end it with; 'I'm sorry for making you go through a

Alice Anderson"Their daughters?""Don, show it to her" I heard Dom said. Don nod his head before placing other pictures alongside with the other ones already on the board. When he was done, he begin to call out their name to me. "This, here is Evan's only son, Henry, who stay in Canada for fifteen years and still counting. He feels, his son's life might be at risk because of him so, he made sure he stayed there and handle their business over there.""This is Elliot's daughter and this is Scott's daughter" he said pointing at the ladies picture beside their father respectively. "Want about Thompson?" I asked, confused. "No need for that because I will be handling him." Dom said. We talk for a while on how to strategize ourselves and bring this people down for crossing our path, twenty minutes later, we are done. "Erm, dad. I'm really famished, I need to get myself something to eat. Do you care for some so I can add yours to it?" I asked. Because once I walk out of this room righ

Kenneth Domanco"Don't you think, you're being too harsh on Alissa?" I almost jumped when I heard that familiar voice behind me. Right now, I'm standing in the garden, close to the pool with a glass of wine in my right hand and a cigarette in my left hand. I didn't turn around to look at him instead, I inhale my cigarette and exhale out. "You don't need all these, Kenneth" he added again and snatch the cigarette out of my hand."What are you doing, dad!" I hissed as I turned to face him but, he looks calm. This is my dad. He's always calm in all situations even if he's upset, angry, or worried. "What are you doing here?" I asked him again. I heard him take a deep breath out before saying, "I couldn't sleep, what about you?""Same here" I answered with a deep sigh also. "Is it because of those bastards?" I added before gulping down the wine in my hand in one goal. "No, they are the least of my problem right now. Actually..." He trailed off and took the glass of cup in my hand befor

Alice Anderson"Good morning, Dad" I greeted and take a sit opposite Ken. I could feel his gaze on my body but I had to pretend not to notice him. All that happened between us earlier is still fresh in my head. He has put me in my place, the least I could do is to know what and what not to do around him. I do not have to keep my hope high. "Hey, morning. I hope you had a wonderful night's rest?" Dad asked. But the tone he use made me pass him a glance. I don't know if I'm just imagining things but, this is not him. He looks strange this morning. With my shoulder shrugged and thinking maybe it's because of those idiots trying to ruin what he has worked so hard for, I begin to serve myself my breakfast. I took four toast of bread, made my tea, and begin to munch on my food. Silence suddenly was built between us in the dining, not an awkward one though but one thing I'm sure of is, dad is acting strange. He wasn't like this yesterday night so, what changed? "Dad, are you okay?" I ask
