“Answer me, Franklin. Are you telling me or not?” Anna asked in a low, fierce tone and a fierce expression, expecting Franklin to be in terror and quickly act on her command.Franklin faced downward and discharged a heavy breath. He lifted his gaze and stared directly into her face. “I am sorry I will go against you just this once. I can’t do this,” he spoke out. “Cohen trust me so much and I don’t want to be a betrayal.”Anna cracked up. “Franklin, hope you aren’t thinking Cohen will be impressed and reward your loyalty?” She threw a question. She paused and laughed for a second before she lowered her gaze and locked eyes with him. “Franklin, Cohen can’t save you from my wrath. He can do nothing to help you.”“Everything is fine by me, ma. I will gladly accept the consequences…” Franklin let out.“Hun!” Anna exclaimed. “Are you sure you will accept the consequence? It might be too much for you to bear. Don’t you think about that?”“Like I said, ma. Whatever happens is my cross to bear

“Cohen is back?!” Anna exclaimed immediately as she drove into the compound. She drove and parked beside her car, and remembering her successful mission, she beamed and got out of the car.She entered the sitting room and met Cohen sitting on the sofa, pressing his face.He was casting his face downward and the screech of the door made him raise his gaze and look in the entrance direction.Seeing it was Anna, he returned to pressing his phone since he didn’t want to talk to her.Anna walked closer and filled her lips with a smile. “You are back home?” She asked, trying to find an appropriate way to start a conversation with him.“If I am not back, will you see me here?” Cohen gave a savage response without taking his eyes off the phone screen to look at her. “Okay. I am sorry,” she apologized in a low voice. She went silent for a minute and inquired. “The test. How is it?”His question made his hands freeze, and he stopped pressing his phone. He cracked up and murmured. “Asking how i

Cohen walked out of the downstairs toilet, situated under the stairs. He walked back to the dining table, where he was working on his laptop, before he felt the need to use the restroom.He sat back in the chair and drew his laptop closer. He adjusted the screen direction to how he preferred it and continued pressing it.He worked for a few seconds and picked his wineglass from the table, and as he moved it to his lips, Elsie rushed downstairs.“Don’t!” Elsie shouted in a commanding tone.Cohen took the wine away from his lips and glanced back at her, a surprised, questioning tone escaped his mouth. “Uhn!”“Huuun…” Elsie sounded, nodding her head as she hurriedly descended the stairs. “Don’t drink that, Cohen.”Cohen watched her walk closer to her side, and immediately as she stood beside him, he threw a question. “What’s going on?”He glanced at the glass of wine in his hand and shook it a bit. “Is something inside it?” He asked.“I am not sure, Cohen,” Elsie responded. “But I don’t

“Turn to the left.” Cohen instructed and immediately as the guy drove out of the corner that led to the main road, a car double crossed them.“Hey!” The guy shouted, grinding his teeth.“Leave the road, please.” Cohen intervened, trying to keep his voice low so as not to sound aggressive like the guy.The guy turned off the car engine and abruptly opened the car in anger. He let down his left leg, and he wanted to put the right foot out, Elsie got down from the down wearing sunglasses.“Elsie?!” The guy exclaimed and calmed himself.Elsie walked to the other side and opened the door for the cab owner to get down.The man got down and Elsie bowed her head, appreciating, “thanks for the ride, sir.”The driver collected the car key from her, saying, “you are welcome, ma.”Elsie dug her hand into the jacket pocket and took out some cash. “This. Is it enough?” She inquired.The man beamed and excitedly snatched the money from her. “This is more than enough,” he said. He bent his neck, show

Cohen nodded, tightening his lips. “Okay. Thank you.” He uttered.“One more thing, Cohen but I am not sure you will listen to me.” Elsie said, looking downward in disappointment.“What’s it? Tell me. Didn’t we just agree to be each other’s biggest supporters?” He said in a welcoming manner.“Which hospital did you go to?” She inquired.“The same hospital. R&M.” He answered.“Can you change it?” She asked, and since she already knew he would ask for an explanation, she added, “go and do the DNA test in another hospital.”“Why? Did you find out something?” He interrogated.“No, but I just don’t feel okay with you going back to that hospital,” she poured out. “Anna went out yesterday and she has nowhere to go. Since she hides her movements, I think she went to the hospital.”“If she went to the hospital Franklin would have called to inform me.” Cohen doubted.Elsie ground her teeth with each other, frustrated at why Cohen never understands. “Why do you trust people so much?” She threw a
