Felix and Travis stood in a corner at the opposite end of the hall, patiently waiting for their ride to arrive."Were you really alone out there earlier?" Felix asked.Travis grinned and replied, "You seem awfully interested in my affairs tonight.""Because you have been swearing under your breath all night after whatever happened earlier, which you have chosen not to talk about," Felix accused."Me? Swear?" Travis asked, eyes narrowed in feigned innocence."Yes, and if I didn't know better, I would say it has something to do with Liora. Your eyes seemed to follow her about earlier," Felix stated.A few guests walked past them, waving them good night and smiling their way.Travis responded to a few of them, letting Felix's words hang in the air for a few seconds."Looks like I am spot on." Felix mumbled, adding, "I guess that was why you disappeared on me earlier.""Can we not talk about her?" Travis asked."I was actually concerned because you had a few more glasses than you usually

The next day, the sun refused to shine, hidden behind a thick blanket of dark storm clouds. The wind howled through the trees, casting the city in a pale, dark color."Does not look like the weather is with us today." Alex mumbled as he stepped out of the car."It'll clear up pretty soon," Travis said confidently."I hope it does," Alex replied.They had just gotten to the Ashford Group Medical Technology laboratory. It was the official grand opening of the place, but the weather was saying otherwise."When is the team getting here?" Travis asked."In about thirty minutes, but every other thing has been attended to," Alex explained.The day before, while Travis and Felix had gone for the charity event, Alex had stayed back with the team to ensure everything was in place.They walked towards the building in silence for about three minutes before Alex spoke again."You have a brief meeting with the team before the main event," Alex stated."Yes, I know," Travis mumbled.They walked into

There was a bit of silence as Travis looked at the face of his father.David's eyes passed over Nicole to Travis before turning toward Michael."We should head over to the Palace Hotel for the party now," David said.Without saying a word, he walked past them and headed towards his car."Well, that went better than I thought it would," Michael whispered to Travis as he walked past him."What the h*ll were you thinking, Nicole?" Travis asked, his voice barely above a whisper, but the venom was unmistakable."It's a good day for you, and I thought it would be nice to come show my support." Nicole shrugged, not in the least bothered by how pissed he sounded."Well, you have now; you can leave," Travis hissed.The reporters were packing also to head over to the palace hotel to set up.As Travis turned, his eyes landed on Scott, who winked at him and waved. before walking towards the exit."Did you come with Scott?" Travis asked, turning back to look at Nicole.Nicole's eyebrows squeezed i

The next day, morning broke soft and calm with birds singing in the trees and a soft breeze blowing the catkins.Liora rolled onto her back and sighed deeply as she opened her eyes to stare at the ceiling."It's another day," she muttered softly.Before she could form another word in her mind, her doors burst open."Mom!" The twins shouted, running into the room.They jumped on the bed and grabbed onto her so tightly. It was the first morning of her being at home by the time they woke up."My sweethearts," Liora grinned, hugging them tightly.They laughed and giggled as Liora kissed them all over the face and tickled them.Their laughter echoed through the room and down the hall."I missed you, Mom," Amelia said, chuckling."Me too. Are you staying home with us today?" Adrian asked.Liora held them close and said, "No, my loves, Mummy has to go save some lives at the hospital today."They didn't respond quickly, sad that she was going out again."Don't you want me to go?" Liora asked.

At the house, the moment the door closed behind Liora, Lily, and Ian, Betty turned and dropped her cup in the sink.“I guess that leaves you and me, Mom," Betty muttered.“I guess so, but I am not sure we can go in together.” Fiona responded.“Come on, Mom, I will be done in an hour or less," Betty grinned.“I doubt that very much.” Fiona responded.“I cross my heart.” Betty said, hurrying towards the staircase.“If I do not see you in an hour, I’ll leave without you.” Fiona called out.“Okay!” Betty shouted in response.Jane stood up, smiling, and took her empty plates to the sink as well.“And how are my sweethearts doing in class?” Fiona asked casually.Jane grinned and said, “They are really brilliant. Sometimes I think they are going to start taking me to classes too.”Amelia grinned at that, her eyes twinkling with pride.“Oh, I see. It must be nice to be so brilliant.” Fiona said, ruffling their hair.“They sure take after their mom," Jane stated.“What about Daddy?" Adrian ask
