OLIVER'S POVHurt and fury coursed through my veins as I matched out of the room,With my fist clenched, I got to the garage and drove off, unsure of which direction to turn to, The fact that my mother was slacking in a time like that infuriated my anger, after about thirty minutes of driving around aimlessly, I took a turn leading towards the hospital, My anger was suddenly replaced with a longing for Cassandra, I suddenly missed her, Even as I longed for peace, I knew I wanted to see her, she was the only one I could talk to, the only one who could expel all my worries,As my thoughts on Cassandra stretched on, my mother's words crossed my mind, "Contact Leonard and tell him about it," I recalled the look on her face and I knew it was a secret message to Bruce, as I dwelled on it, I couldn't help but wonder who Leonard was,I was certain he wasn't a stakeholder, since there was no one with that name holding any share in our company, I couldn't stop myself from pondering on his re

CASSANDRA'S POVSince Oliver had gone to work, my loneliness drove me towards the family's living room, drawn by the series of photos that graced the wall, I found myself admiring them, My eyes landed on the stack of photo books neatly arranged on the shelf and my curiosity got piqued, carrying a few of them, I headed back to my room,Settling on my bed, I found myself flipping through the pages, and as I did, I got hooked by the scenes that met my eyes, and as I got engrossed in it, a thought crossed my mind, "If peradventure it might be of any help to me," which filled me with a sudden surge of urgency,But as I went further, I found myself sinking into a pool of depression as nothing seemed to ring a bell, not even my photo with Oliver could spark a light in my mind, A great sense of sadness overwhelmed me instead, which threatened to break me down, dampening my mood, even as I swam in a sea of depression, which made me toss the photo book away,As those feelings lingered, I hea

MRS ROSA'S POVMy mind kept swirling with a lot of thought as I walked back to my room, even though I wanted to dwell on the assurance Cassandra's words had given me, I just couldn't shake off the worry that tugged and lurked deep within me,The fact that she had returned home had already thwarted my plans with Leonard, even though she was still under my watch, I knew it was more difficult to administer anything to her, not when Oliver seemed to be highly protective of her,As I pondered on the possible line of action, the rattling on the door, snapped me back to reality,"Come in," I replied, unsure of who it was,Bruce walked in with a smile on his face, which I weakly responded to,"You seemed to be worried about something," He said, immediately after he got to where I was standing, "is it about the stakeholders?" He inquired searching my face,His words somehow sent me into thought as I began to ponder on the past days, I realized I had been through a lot in just a few days than I

OLIVER'S POVAs the sound of his chuckle met my ears from the other end, I felt a surge of mixed feelings swell within me, and as I listened to him, I knew I was betraying myself and my own feelings, but again, I kept a straight face, adamant to my mother's course, unwilling to bend from her warnings,"It's nice to know that you know who I am," He finally responded after a while of satisfying himself, but then I kept silent unsure of how to respond to what he had just said, even though deep within me I wanted to call him Father,"Let's meet up son, we've got to talk," His words came again breaking the silence that had fallen upon us, sounding serious and business likely, but my mom's words kept ringing in my head, bending my every conviction, I knew I had to be careful especially in a time like that,Putting aside my own desires, I questioned, repeating the same words, "What do you want?" And without waiting for his response, added, "I have no business with you," Irrespective of the f

MRS ROSA'S POV"Bad news Rosa," Bruce announced Immediately he barged into my room, making I and Cassandra turn sharply towards him, my eyes shot open Immediately at his carelessness,Upon seeing us, he stopped Immediately on his track, while I turned back towards Cassandra to find her still staring at Bruce, she seemed to be partly engrossed in thought as she stared at him, which made me wince at her,I forced a smile to my face as I placed my hand on Cassandra's, calling her attention back to me,"Could you excuse us for a moment?"

I demanded angrily, as I turned to face him who had just returned from the door,"I'm sorry Rosa, it was really urgent, that was why," He explained, gesturing with his hands as
