The News "I could speak with the judge..." Eamon offered, but Elena was quick to decline his help. "That will only make things worse." They stopped talking once Evan ran out from the house to come greet them before they stepped inside after work. "Hey buddy!" Eamon lifted Evan in his arms and held him closely. "How was school today?" "Just fine." He shrugged. "My friend Samuel said he went fishing with his dad. Can we go fishing too?" He looked at Eamon and ignored his mom entirely. "Well..." Eamon pretended to think. "I'll think about it for a while. How about that? I'll give you my response when I'm done speaking to your mom, okay?" That was when Evan looked up at her and waved towards her. "Hi mom." He smiled cheekily before jumping down Eamon's body and rushing back into the house as if he had a serious business to do. "Where did we stop?" Elena glanced at Eamon quietly after they had watched Evan sprint into the house. "The board?" Eamon offered. "Yes, the board." Elena

The Internet DecidesEAMON had told her to ignore the news and go to sleep, but no matter how much she tried to do so, she still saw Marcus face in the back of her mind. And she couldn't help but wonder what he was playing at with what he just did.Elena called Kemi once Eamon had disappeared into his room when she told him she was going to join him later."I've seen the news." She said when she answered. "And you shouldn't be worried about it, Elena. You know what he's doing.""This is literally affecting my life, and I want all these over before it causes more issues at work. I'm tired of all these... I'm just..." Her shoulders slumped in defeat."He's bold in making such declarations because the strategy he used has put him in a great disadvantage and he's trying to salvage the situation as best as he can."She thought about it carefully. "You mean the fact that he's put most of his wealth in Evan's name? You think he's trying to discredit me for when he gets an appeal for the full

FoundELENA was on her way back home when she noticed a flash reflecting on the side of her mirror. At first, she thought it was the sun, but looking out instinctively, the sun had gone down a long while ago. But still, she didn't think too much of it. It could have been her mind playing tricks with her, especially how occupied her mind had been.The second flash came two minutes later, even closer this time. This time she didn't want to believe it was a trick of the light as she adjusted the mirror. She watched for a few seconds and that was when she saw it— A black car, maintaining a distance and following the same turn she had just made. Someone was tailing her for a reason she didn't know. At first she thought it could have been Eamon and his overprotectiveness, but something egged her at the back of her mind. Why would Eamon be tailing her when she was coming home? She fished out her phone from her purse with one hand, while the other was on the steering wheel, and speed dialled

The New HouseELENA called Kemi early the next morning as she still nursed Michelle's jab from last night. She knew she had to be certain about where she would be on the first ring.It took a while before Kemi replied which left Elena slightly worried. "Is everything okay?" She first asked before Kemi could speak."Yes, yes..." Kemi responded a little rushed. "Sorry, I was busy with the kids. Is anything the matter?"Elena's brows pulled together in a frown. She didn't know Kemi had kids. "Oh..." Elena thought about asking for more details but she decided against it. "It's about the divorce proceedings . The first proceeding to be exact." she finally said. "Can we move it to another day?""Is this about your presentation in another city? I saw it falls on the same date.""Yes," Elena sighed heavily. "Is there a way we can push it back? Reschedule? Anything that doesn't put it on the same day as the conference presentation.""Elena." Kemi sighed. "I've already looked at the calendar th

In ChargeEVERYWHERE felt different in the office the moment she stepped off the elevator, and she knew it was because Eamon was not in it. He had taken two weeks off to recuperate and see the special doctor that attended to him once his episode had turned uncontrollably as it did the previous night.Elena's presence was only able to calm him, but did not take the episode away. So yes, the office felt different without Eamon in it. The shift in the building's atmosphere was looser and louder, the way a classroom changes when the teacher steps out. It was like everyone knew that the boss was not around, and they allowed themselves more time to converse rather than getting on with their work. She didn't dwell on it. She had three reports to finish, a client follow-up to draft, and the conference presentation to polish before the end of the week.She was forty minutes into the first report when Michelle appeared in her doorway."Elena." Michelle's voice carried the authority of someone w
